Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Do you realize that if Oswald didn't kill Kennedy, then the U.S. government did. There are no other possibilities. The Mafia? That's a joke. How could the Mafia get the entire press and media, including newspapers, magazines, and television, to vigorously support the lone nut story if they were behind it? How could the Mafia have such power over all of them? How could the Mafia control the motorcade route? How could the Mafia control police and Secret Service actions such as not checking for open windows along the parade route, etc.? They couldn't. They wouldn't. They didn't.

Besides, the "Mafia did it" story usually includes the claim that the Mafia got Oswald to do it. Isn't that what the ridiculous HSCA concluded? But, why would the Mafia assign Oswald to do it? (And, by the way, no one ever claimed that Oswald was paid by the Mafia; rather, he worked for free. He wasn't into money.) 

Oswald was a non-combat Marine. He did the minimum amount of shooting required by the Marines, and according to Nelson Delgado, he had little interest in guns. He was lackadaisical about maintaining his weapon. And the only shooting he did after the Marines was to go rabbit hunting in Russia using a shot gun, and according to his Russian friends, he stunk at it, being unable to hit the broad side of a barn, let alone a rabbit. So, pay or no pay, why would the Mafia assign Oswald to shoot Kennedy when the kind of snipering that was involved from the 6th floor was completely and totally foreign to Oswald and outside his training, experience, and aptitude?

No. If Oswald didn't kill Kennedy, then the government killed him. Of course, I don't mean that the Congress killed him or that the Supreme Court did.  I mean a consortium consisting of individuals from the intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA, and also the Vice President, and other persons within Kennedy's own administration, such as McGeorge Bundy. 

Attorney Vincent Salandria sums up this consortium by referring to it as the "national security state." 

But, what I wish to emphasize is the paradox of the government investigating the JFK assassination when the government is the one who killed him, and the government is the one who framed Oswald. This is the reason why every government investigation of the JFK assassination has been corrupt, and every government investigation of it yet to come will be corrupt.

And that's why I always laugh whenever I hear the retort to Oswald in the doorway which goes, "It can't be Oswald in the doorway because two government investigations determined that the disputed figure is Billy Lovelady."  But, the operative word in that sentence is GOVERNMENT. They were government investigations. 

And think about the relevance it has to the upcoming mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald in Houston in November. The government is the one prosecuting Oswald. And if it was back in the day, and Oswald was still living, it would be the government trying to put him to death. So, why would the Defense, in that case, accept what the government said? And why would the prosecution expect the Defense to accept it? And actually, it's not that they expect the Defense to accept it, but they do expect the jury to accept it, as if government investigation is the highest form of investigation. The government- with its unlimited resources, its monopoly on power, and its ability to force people to talk, investigated. So, how can anyone dispute or even doubt the results they came up with? 

The short answer is: because the government killed Kennedy. And once you realize that- and even if you don't realize it because you defend the government- if you at least recognize that it goes from Oswald to the government, meaning that if Oswald is acquitted, then the government is guilty, then that should enable you to understand why Oswald defenders look biliously at every aspect of the government's investigation of the case. 

So, the next time someone says to you, "But, two government investigations found that it was Lovelady in the doorway," the proper response should be, "That's right; they were government investigations. Government. With all that that implies,"
