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

Look: The Garage Shooting was a ruse, and it wasn't even a very good ruse. Let me count the ways that it stunk. 

Leavelle and Graves march Oswald out, looking straight ahead, like zombies. They are determined not to turn their heads. They are determined not to look around, not to scan the area, and especially and most of all: not to turn to their left. In fact, Leavelle guards against doing that by turning his head slightly right.

The shooter is already moving in, and Leavelle is making sure he doesn't see him. Then afterwards, Leavelle had the nerve to claim that he saw Ruby in advance, recognized him as Jack Ruby, saw the gun, perceived exactly what was happening, and took evasive action trying to protect Oswald, and all of it was lies, lies, lies. 

The only one who turned his head left was Oswald. And as I've said, he's looking at the shooter like he knows him, as if he's telling him something, such as: "I'm ready." Why would he make eye contact with a stranger like that? 

But then, when the shooter does make his move, Oswald has gone back to looking straight ahead again, like a zombie or you could say like a racehorse with blinders on. 

I figure that was a split-second before the shot, and I mean a tiny split-second. Oswald isn't reacting. He's not showing any sign of having been shot. But, how could Graves be unaware of the shooter? How could anybody be unaware of someone moving rapidly into his field of vision from the side? Peripheral vision is very sensitive to movement. And what about the sound? Didn't the shooter make some audible sound rushing in?  And what about wind? Doesn't a moving object create wind? Air movement? All that should have impacted Graves' senses. But, he didn't turn his head. He didn't glance in the direction from which it was all coming? And the same applies to Oswald.  It must have impacted his senses too because he was close enough. So, how could he keep looking straight ahead without turning his head? How can any of this be real? 

Then, the shot goes off and Oswald shows a reaction. It started with a grimace. 

You see the pained look on Oswald's face, right? So, he must have been shot already. So that means that, supposedly, his aorta has been severed and so has his vena cava, plus all the other internal damage, the state of emergency inside his body. So, here's what should have happened: his knees should have given out; he should have started going down; and at the same time he can't support the weight of his head, so his head flexes on his chest, and he just topples over. Remember: he is devastated inside. Inside: he is like Puerto Rico. 

Here's how it looked in the NBC film:

So, he's going forward and down, but that's not right either because he's just bending from the torso there. His knees should have given out. So really, the movement should have been more straight down than that. But, look what happens after that:

Now, Oswald has veered back, and he's got this global extension going on. His head is going back, and all the long extensor muscles in his back are contracting. How could he be doing that after receiving the internal damage that the Parkland doctors described? The damage was instantaneous. How fast does a bullet travel? Eventually, Oswald does fall, but not before going up on his toes:

So, I have Oswald's head circled, and I have his feet circled. How could he be up on his toes like that? And I don't want to hear any references to Reagan's bodyguard Tim McCarthy. That was a totally different situation. Remember the rule: bullets do NOT impart momentum to a human body; they cut through a human body. So McCarthy was in motion before he got shot, and it was his own momentum that resulted in him going airborne. But, in this case, Oswald was moving THE OTHER WAY. His momentum was going forward. And then after he got shot, he started falling forward. So, there was no momentum whatsoever driving him backward. And remember that he was supposed to be hurt a lot worse than McCarthy. McCarthy was not in a state of total circulatory collapse; but Oswald supposedly was. This is totally preposterous what we see Oswald doing in the state that he was in.  

It was a ruse. It was DEFINITELY a ruse. And Oswald had to be in on it. HOW CAN YOU HAVE A RUSE UNLESS EVERYONE IS PLAYING ALONG? If Oswald thought it was real, then he would have acted to save his life and done whatever he had to do. He would not have done what he did,  which was nothing. 

I am telling you; it was a ruse. They must have told Oswald that they were going to get him out of this, but they had to fake his death first, fool the world, so that no one would go gunning for him.  And he believed them.

And since he really wasn't shot, they couldn't let his transfer inside be filmed. So instead, all we got to see was pandemonium and chaos. Of course, when they made the television movie with James Leavelle, then, the transfer was filmed plain as day:

 We got to see it in the movie but not in real life, and that's because it wasn't real life. All those movie cameras: KRLD, WFAA, NBC, etc., and not one of them captured the slightest hint, the slightest glimmer of Oswald being moved inside. 

It was a ruse. It was definitely a ruse. It is beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt that it was a ruse.
