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

I went to Walmart today and saw my favorite inspector, this 88 year old guy who walks with a walker and has an oxygen tube in his nose. But, he was watching the comings and goings at that entrance like he was guarding the White House. You couldn't get out without showing him your receipt, and if you were coming in to make a return, he had business with you as well. He's a very nice guy, but he rules that place like Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq. Getting past him without being seen? Less than a snowball's chance in Hell. 

But, we are supposed to believe that Jack Ruby slipped past 29 year old Officer Roy Vaughan at the Main Street ramp of the Dallas PD. You buying that, are you? 

And not just Vaughan. But, also Lt. Pierce and the two officers with him in his squad car. And not just them and Vaughan but another officer who was no longer active on the force but was unofficially there to help Vaughan.  So, none of these officers saw Ruby as he snuck in. 

That is preposterous. It is ludicrous. It is laughable. So, what really happened? Ruby got there early.  And I mean before Vaughan's watch ever began. That's when Ruby got in.  He went down the ramp; he immediately got jumped by cops; and he was hustled up to the 5th floor. And there they told him that he shot Oswald. And that's the first he knew of it. He had no intention of shooting Oswald. He had no plan to shoot him. And he had no memory of shooting him. And even after they told him that he shot Oswald, it did nothing to jog his memory. A normal person would have said: "Fuck you, I didn't shoot anybody." But, Ruby was not a normal person. He had this strange reverence for the Dallas Police.  They were his heroes, and it was beyond anything normal. I have to wonder if he was hypnotized to feel that way about them.  You know, like Captain Marco (Frank Sinatra) in The Manchurian Candidate: "Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I have ever met." 

Ruby said that he got up early that Sunday morning. And all he did before leaving his apartment was get dressed and eat breakfast. Well, he had the tv on, and he browsed the newspaper as he ate, but that didn't add much time to it. And he only lived 3 miles from the Western Union office. So, do the Math on that, and you'll realize that he got there long before 11;15. He also said that he took twice his usual dose of amphetamines that morning, plus other pills, which he didn't specify. The Karen Carlin ruse was used to get him a block away. (she disappeared afterwards; went into hiding; and assumed a new identity. It's like she went into the witness protection program.) So, how did they get him to complete the last leg of walking from WU to the police ramp? Again, it involved suggestion, and he had been given drugs that made him highly vulnerable to suggestion.  Someone, anyone may have said to him, "Why don't you walk down and see what's going on at the ramp?"  That's all it would have taken, and I mean from a complete stranger. Once he got there, they had people there who kept the push going. "Walk on down. See what's going on down there."  A little head gesture was probably added. And Ruby did it. And when he got down there, they pounced on him, and his life, the life he knew and loved, was effectively over. 

Jack Ruby did not fool anyone. He even joked about it. "Nobody knew anything. Not even me." A young, strapping 29 year old policeman did not fail to keep Ruby out. It is ludicrous to think that, and that is my main point this evening, that there is no reason for anyone to think it. And the only reason anyone accepts it is because the Almighty Leviathan State says it. But remember: the Almighty Leviathan State killed Kennedy. Therefore, you have no reason to believe anything they say, especially not something as ludicrous and preposterous as this.
