Girlfriend: Oswald didn't kill JFK
EUGENE, Ore. - Lee Harvey Oswald was a CIA operative who went to the Texas Book Depository not to kill President John F. Kennedy in November 1963 but to try to prevent his assassination.
That is part of the story Oswald's girlfriend, Judyth Vary Baker, tells in her new book, "Me and Lee"
Baker talked to KVAL News on Wednesday ahead of her appearance at Tsunami Books on Willamette Street at 7:30 p.m.
“Lee Oswald was a hero," Baker said, "and I’m here to tell you that when you find out who did it you will understand more about who took over our country - and why we are in the position we are in today.”
Baker said she met Oswald when he was sent to keep an eye on her as she worked on a project to inject Cuban dictator Fidel Castro with a fast-spreading cancer.
“I was assigned to make cancer more deadly. Can you imagine?" she said. "That is what doctors wanted me to do. I had actually given mice lung cancer, these were germ free mice exposed to radiation. I gave them lung cancer in 7 days."
The idea was to kill Castro with plausible denial for the U.S.
“One of the methods they decided to use was biological because then they had no one to blame," Baker said. "I mean if he comes down with lung cancer because he’s smoking cigarettes, you’re not going to blame the United States government for that.
“Now here’s the problem," she said. "The people that were willing to kill Castro were just as willing to kill Kennedy.”
Baker and Oswald became lovers, and she was eye-witness to his activities leading up to November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.
“I was his lover. When you hear this thing about pillow talk, what I’m saying is they do confide in you," she said. "I loved him and he loved me and I believe that with all my heart.“
Baker said Oswald was sent to kill JFK. He went through with taking up a sniper position at the Texas Book Depository so the agency wouldn't send another shooter, she said, but it was bullets from another gunman or gunmen who killed Kennedy.
“We have a lot of information that Kennedy was shot from the front," she said. "Lee Oswald is back here in the Texas School Book Depository.
“Now they have to get rid of a man that is going to go tell on everyone right? So the first thing they do, they arrest him, they say he’s from Russia, he’s the guy that shot. Right away the first announcement you hear is an assassin. Doesn’t say assassins, they say assassin shot three times, even though you heard more shots. Basically they interviewed people that heard three shots.”
Baker talked to Oswald by phone less than 2 days before he died.
Oswald told her “ 'I love you Judyth' before he hung up," she said. "Those were the last words I ever heard from him."
@Playanekes,at first I thought you were a nemesis, now I just feel sorry for you.Â
Judyth Baker is a proven fabulating fraud who has been peddling her fairy tale for the last 13 years in various books and on countless websites. There is no evidence that she even knew Oswald.
I still believe it was the Federal Reserve that killed Kennedy. Kennedy was about to sign an executive order reinstating gold as currency and a backer to the US dollar. The Federal Reserve couldn't have this competition and took out Kennedy.Â
 @BeergodÂ
How can that be, I believe it was Nixon who abolished the gold standard?
If you are interested in this sort of thing and want to research something screwy, look up the name Ben Phelper. My grandfather was one of the people Phelper wrote when he was working for the Secret Service or whatever it was, telling him that some people were going to try to kill Kennedy in Miami or Dallas and that CIA was trying to shut him up. Phelper and my grandfather met at Stalag 17B during the war, when Phelper was working with the OSS and agents within both the Red Cross and the German government to undermine Hitler. I'm anonymous, this was all before my time, and unlike most people involved in this stuff, I have nothing to sell and am not seeking attention. My grandmother did not want anybody to talk about it, ever, because the letters he sent scared her, and as another ex-POW told me, people from that generation tended to keep their mouths shut about things like that which may be why more of this stuff is starting to come out. I am absolutely not making this up.
I have to wait until Daddy Bush kicks the bucket to tell the truth about what he did to Kennedy....otherwise I get deleted....
I cannot believe KATU even regurgitated this mess from KVAL.
 @I812 This is actually a paid advertisement FOR THAT BOOK "Me and Lee"....
@August100 @I812 I don't have a book to sell. Look up the name Ben Phelper and have fun.
Ohhh, Kay.
A little truth serum would make this a lot more convincing.
This woman doesn't fear for her life - she lives overseas because she fears for her freedom. If she lives in the US she'll surely be locked into a loony bin.
ALL of the supposed new facts she gives are widely known - the subjects of hundreds of responsibly researched books on the assassination.
How much could she have known about cancer research at age 19?
Â
Oswald was not the shooter. He was having lunch on the first floor, and appeared in the second floor cafeteria moments after the shooting - not stressed, not excited, not even out of breath.
Â
 Do you know that the rifle they presented so proudly, the 6.5mm Italian, was never swabbed to determine if it had been fired that day? Do you know that three officers identified the actual rifle found on the 6th floor as an 7.5mm Mauser - a very different looking (and shooting) rifle?
Â
But the bottom line really is the Zapruder film clearly showing Kennedy's head blown out from front to rear. Whether shots were fired ffrom TBD or not the kill shot came from his front right.
Seriously....Johnson was the man behind the curtian pulling all the strings.......
Obama and Bush killed Kennedy.........just stirring the pot......lol
Â
I totally buy her story. The govt is up to no good, sadly for no good reason. they are the players, most of us go through life blissfully ignorant to whats going on by the truly evil sociopaths who waste their life for no reason that resembles compassion.yes..they waste their lives. their one short life.
 I also looked this over big time, I was in the 8th grade when Kennedy was shot, everyone has their opinion, but this we do know, Oswald was suppose to shoot Kennedy, Ruby shot Oswald, Ruby dies with Pneumonia in jail all in a short time span, folks if that in itself is not fishy I don't know what is, who done it? we probably will never know, those who masterminded this are now dead and so is the secrets---only thing that remains alive are the suspicions and those my friends will never die. Do I have a idea? yes in a weary kinda way.....those who wanted the Vietnam war had him killed.
Â
Kennedy stood in the way of many making billions in war material, mainly because he wanted to put a stop to it, and I will say this , I know its going far out on a limb, but if Al Gore would of won election, he would of been taken out also because of the Iran conflict, the man they wanted was Bush and Dick Cheney , who is they? well I am no conspiracy advocate but there are some powers behind the seen that we never see and they are very very powerful!.
 @shadowwalker I was in 8th grade too! I agree with you (well, I don't know about Al Gore, but come to think of it...I can see that.) I remember when they came out with the Warren report I thought it was pure pablum...and I was only in 8th grade! I could easily see that it was a whitewash. Apparently Bill O'Reilly has a book out wherein he claims Oswald acted completely alone. I don't believe it. I read somewhere that Ruby begged to talked to someone to tell the real story while he was dying in a hospital. Of course, "they" didn't let that happen.Â
Why wait. Â Well the JFK journals were released in the last year (50 years on hold). Â Now her information as a CIA operative can now be released. Â It was shown JFK was shot from the front. Â But Oswald was at the rear at the time. Â Test show he fired once. Â Reports say multiple people heard multiple shots. Â So who really shot JFK? Â A backup CIA operative? Â I believe her.
@RandyH shortly before the shooting a fellow who had been in my grandfather's POW camp started contacting him out of the blue even though they never really hung out or anything in the camp. Of all the increasingly strange stuff he said, the one that stood out the most was a claim he made that "they" were going to kill him in Miami or Dallas and that he was trying to tell Secret Service. According to my dad, aunts, uncles, grandparents and everybody who saw the letter, it was clear that he thought it was going to be an inside job. I have nothing to gain by telling you this but there it is.
After nearly 50 years some lady shows up who no one has ever heard of before?  I think not. I have studied and read about the assassination for many years-Never heard of any mistress-I think someone is a gold digger.
Whatever you think of President Kennedy, please remember that he died a violent death at a young age-Let's
all let him rest in peace.

 @August100 Did the guys from the black helicopters tell you that?
Hmmm. After ALL these years, she's just now coming forward? Sounds like an attempt to make a lot of money. She sounds a little narcissistic and delusional to me.Â
"JFK: Why he died and why it matters" is a book each and every american needs to read. Â I've read alot on JFK......Oswald too.......there was never a mention of Oswald having a mistress.
 @kluoto I know you read 'alot', but 'alot' is just plain old 'a lot'.
Â
I will read this simply because I find the premise to be interesting. Â I don't consider myself to be a conspiracy theorist though, but I do try not to believe everything the government tells me. Â ;P
Â
Â
This dame is nuts -- pure whacko. If you want to know who killed JFK, see Vincent Bugliosi's award-winniing "Reclaiming History" (2006).
 @felines99 Sure, if you love buying into propaganda like a gullible lemming.
@felines99 What propoganda should I see?
Here is another person that says they have the "facts" but does not spill any of them. Sounds like her prime motive is to sell her book.

@wahoo  Yep!  And that cancer research is a scam. I will never donate to them again. They rake in Billions a year and you mean to tell me we still dont have a cure, and we are not any further than the 60's...  This is what is wrong with the entire world, greedy government and greedy people. Makes me sick.
 @MrAchilles you can race for the cure but you can't run from the cause
@MrAchilles You get that kiwi off you toung yet ,bootlicker?
 @MrAchilles The government will never allow them to find a cure for cancer, because finding a cure doesn't make as much money, as someone suffering from cancer and going through all of the treatments to get rid of it.Â
@Festivus @BarbWire @MrAchilles a prominent local chiropractor told me that if you put an anti-inflammatory in DMSO and apply it to the spine after a spinal injury, it will radically reduce the swelling of nerve tissue which can lead to paralysis. Not saying I agree with him but his reasoning for why this isn't done is that the medical industry (who only recently acknowledged chiropractors as legitimate) makes a lot more money off of a para- or quadriplegic over the course of their lives than somebody who recovers. Seems cynical, but, that's what he said.
 @Festivus LOL. Well played, Festivus.
 @Festivus  @BarbWire  @MrAchilles Exactly. I mean, why else would a corporation looking to make money try to sell something so useless as a device people can use to communicate with each other anywhere, anytime, any place? What a lamebrain idea for profit-making!
Â
Oh, wait...
 @BarbWire  @MrAchilles Amateur.  Everyone knows that not only will the government not allow a cancer cure, they're actively growing it and infecting the population in collusion with the drug companies to REALLY maximize profits.
Â
You thought cell phones were for YOUR benefit????
Â
Maybe just Maybe the truth may finally be revealed. I am not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination, but I never believed the "dancing single bullet" theory either. I still see George H.W. Bush standing on that grassy knoll.
 @Albert Jensen More like VP Johnson standing there giving orders
If it wasn't for the exploding cigars, I could dismiss this woman as a crank right out of the gate.
Â
Now it will take a little more time. Â Her story about killing Castro is just crazy enough to be true back in '62.
WOW....I am gonna want to read this book....before it suddenly disappears along with the author. Â Heck, stranger things have happened. Â Neither my folks nor I ever believed that Oswald did it, or at least, did it alone. Â There was at least one other film besides the McGruder one - it was taken from the owner and it disappeared. Â So did witnesses. Â Freedom1267 - I agree with you...
I am sure a lot of people will question this book - the timing, why now, how much is legit, etc. Â I have read a lot of different accounts, medical too - and many of those also dispute the notion of one shooter let alone where the shot came from! Â I wonder if we will ever learn the truth....
 @BCH momgood post, but I must correct you...the man who shot the film was not McGruder it was Zapruder. (haha McGruber was a parody of McGiver on SNL).
 @BCH mom I am willing to give this woman a chance to tell her story since we have all seen a lot of coverups and I have seen some closer up than I ever wanted to, with layers still yet unrevealed... so I am more open-minded after seeing/learning some really seamy and truth-weirder-than-fiction things. All I can say after what I have seen/learned/been exposed to... is there is so much kool-aide being poured down our collective throats that no one really realizes it at this point. I never felt jaded until that point.
This story is as good as any other story told about the assassination. Why should it be questioned any more than the Warren Report? The Warren commission was commissioned to study who killed Kennedy. They spent their time attempting to prove that Oswald was the lone assassin. In my opinion the Warren Commission should have not been paid for their misguided effort. They didn't do the job that they were commissioned to do. The Warren Report did as much to sponsor the conspiracy theories as anything. The fact that our government accepted it reeks of a cover up.
I think Rush "Pop'n'Flush" Limbaugh killed Kennedy with help from Osama Bin Fishfood. Yeah, I know Rush was only 12 at the time, and Osammy was 6, but it's as plausible as any other theory. ;-)
Â
Conspiracy theories have abounded for years (on this & many other events) so what's one more?
Her story is just as credible the Warren Commission Report on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.
This is indeed a bunch o'bull. First of all...this "book" is published by a non-descript little pubishing house called Trine Day. This is how they describe themselves:
"Trine Day is a dedicated group of patriots going to great lengths to publish books that have been suppressed by the politically, corporate, or privately powerful." That they're an Oregon based publishing house only helps in portraying us as a crazy bunch of people :( They have books like "America's Nazi Secret"..."How to overthrow a fascist regime on just $15 a day (really...that's the title of this 'book' LOL)....and something about the numbers 1 - 12 making for Black Christmas. Need I say more???? Anyone want to write a book on the government making a group of Sasquatch decades ago who is actually a man who wanted to be president???
 @fracas "That they're an Oregon based publishing house only helps in portraying us as a crazy bunch of people"
Â
Why would it help in portraying us as a crazy bunch of people?  Others may see us as awake and not of the sheep mentality.
Â
These are the same people along with about 1,700 architects and engineers (w w w . a e 9      11truth.org) who believe that office fires alone cannot bring down a 47-story building at freefall speed. But the 9/11 commission report would have you believe it.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight......
