Big find here by Paul Abbotts. The glass in the window was creating reflections of the men. The cop in uniform can be seen very clearly, while the detective who is seated and looking at Fritz as though "Bookhout" wasn't there, his hat can be seen faintly. But, where's "Bookhout's" reflection? I told you he wasn't there. Thank you, Paul. And what this means is that the whole story of Ruby shooting Oswald is a lie. If they went to this much trouble to plant a phony Bookhout into a photo to hide that he was a short, pudgy man, like the Garage Shooter, it means that he WAS the Garage Shooter, and not Ruby.

 Here are two images of Jack Ruby that a day apart. The one on the left was 11/24/63, and the one on the right was 11/25/63 as they were moving him to the County Jail. Ruby didn't get the Pomp and Circumstance that Oswald did, but his was going to be just a straight transfer without the shooting.

But, why does his hair look so different? I know why. It's because every single picture of Ruby included doctoring of his hair. But, it was something that was done by individuals according to their own judgment. So, on the left, the guy took the Sharpie and really gave it a thick coat, while on the right, a different guy did more intermitent streaking.

And it was done because Ruby was practically bald on top and the Garage Shooter, James Bookhout, wore a thick wig. And so, they were stuck with having to enhance Ruby's hair for the rest of his life.

Imagine if I made a catalog of all the different renderings of Ruby's hair. Let me tell you: that would be funny.

 I just received a threat from a man named Howard Mutton. I am attaching it below.

I take such threats very seriously because of what has already happened to me: my property has been invaded; my truck has been vandalized; a tracking device was installed on my truck; my bank accounts and and credit cards have been hacked; and I have received many threatening phone calls. One of them you can listen to here:

https://soundcloud.com/ralphcinque/threats2

I have filed a report with the FBI about the things that have happened to me. And I have had to call my local law enforcement, the Hays County Sheriff Office many times over incidents.

Lucky for me, a Hays County sheriff deputy lives two doors down from me, who knows about it.

I live every day reckoning with the possibility of more criminal actions and the possibility that they might try to kill me. And I've taken a lot of preparatory action for that, and in ways that my enemies could not even conceive of. Even if they succeed at killing me, a series of consequences will follow. There are some very important people in very high places who have already been informed, and I'm sure people would be be quite shocked to know who I've become friends with.

But, with all this talk of banning me, I am asking the Administrator to ban Howard Mutton.

 This is a statement by Jack Ruby at his WC testimony. "There was no one near me when I walked down that ramp, because if you will time the time I sent the money order, I think it was 10:17 Sunday morning."

He was corrected by a SS agent named Moore, and Ruby went along with it, but still, it's chilling to me that he thought he sent the money order at 10:17 because I believe that is when he sent it.

Ruby said in his memoir that he got up early Sunday morning. He didn't specify a time. His co-writer William Reed Woodfield gave it a heading ABOUT 9:30 but Ruby didn't make the headings.

So, if Ruby didn't say he got up at 9:30 (and he couldn't have since he said he got up early, and 9:30 isn't early) what time did he get up? It depends on how you define early, but I would suggest that he got up by 8. I think that's a reasonable cut-off for early.

So, if he got up at 8, and he got dressed, had breakfast and had a short call with Karen Carlin and then left, how long would all that take? I think 2 hours leaves plenty of time. From his apartment, it was only a 5 minute drive to WU. So, could he have gotten there by 10:15? Easily.

Then, there is the testimony of Karen Carlin, who made a reference to calling Jack early. "The only reason I called as early as I did.." Then she placed the time of her call to Ruby at 9 to 9:30. Keep in mind that she seemed nervous, equivocal, and was constantly saying how unsure she was.

Then, there is the testimony of George Senator, who was Ruby's roommate. Amazingly, he wasn't asked what time Karen Carlin called. His interrogator just wanted to know how long after she called did Ruby leave for Western Union. So, George estimated the time as 3/4 hour. Well, the interrogator wasn't happy with that. He wanted it to be longer. He started challenging George about it, accusing him of just making a wild guess, and not considering that Ruby had to get dressed, etc. And George was on the defensive, but he held his ground at 45 minutes.

So, if we take the midpoint of Karen's range, which is 9:15 and add 45 minutes to that, it has Ruby going out the door at 10, and as I said, it was only a 5 minute drive.

It is my contention that Ruby got to the garage early and was apprehended before the Garage Spectacle. And that is supported by other evidence, and that is: what Ruby claimed to see when he got to the ramp. He claimed to see an officer on foot whom he didn't know. Well, he knew Roy Vaughn. Vaughn had forgiven a driving violation that he pulled Ruby over for because he was "a friend of the department." And he had been to the Carousel Club and talked to Ruby once over a complaint. And Ruby was very good with names and faces. He recognized Sam Pierce driving the squad car. However, at 11:15 when Pierce pulled out, he had two other officers in the squad car with him. I recall that one was named Moxie. I forget the other's name. Ruby said nothing about seeing any other officers. He implied that Pierce was alone in the car when he saw him. He also said that the officer was leaning in talking to Pierce, and Vaughn never claimed to do that. Vaughn claimed that as Pierce's car was emerging, he stepped towards the street to make sure traffic was clear, and then he waved Pierce on to leave. He said that was the only time he left the middle of the ramp. He did not claim to talk to Pierce. And he insisted that there was no way that Ruby got in at that time.

But now, consider this statement by Jack Ruby: "There was an officer talking--I don't know what rank he had--talking to Sam Pierce in a car parked up on the curb." Vaughn said nothing about Pierce stopping to talk to him. So, this supports my contention that Pierce made two exits: one about 10:18 and the other about 11:18. In the first one, he was alone; in the second one; he had the other two officers. And after the first one, the officer who was there when Ruby was there was replaced with Vaughn. So, Vaughn was set up and sacrificed that day. And anyone who disagrees has to explain how a 29 year old police officer was unable to guard an 8 foot wide ramp. I could get a 90 year old Walmart greeter on oxygen and a walker to do it.

And Vaughn's whole story is worth reading because he was working somewhere else in Dallas when he got a call to report to City Hall, to go to the dispatch office for a new assignment. He did, but he wasn't needed right away. He said that for a long while, he just stood around that dispatch office drinking coffee and chewing the cud with other officers. Finally, a sergeant came to get him and told him that Lt. Pierce wanted him to guard the Main Street ramp. And so he did. But, I maintain that the reason it didn't happen right away is because they had to apprehend Ruby first. And then, they placed Vaughn there.

Finally, consider the testimony of Dr. Fred Bieberdorf who said that they cleared the basement at 9:45, including him. He was told to leave. And they didn't allow reporters back in until 10 minutes before the jail transfer. So, what were they doing during that time? I maintain they were apprehending Jack Ruby and they were taking the Jackson photo.

 There were 2 nods during the procession; by Fritz and McMillan.

Let's look at Will Fritz during the Garage Spectacle. Amazingly, he turned around and conspicuously nodded at the trio during the Grand Entrance, which had all the formality of a graduation ceremony. But, why did he nod? What was he signaling? I suspect it was that Bookhout is in place, so be ready. 

Then, when the shot went off, Fritz was very slow to react. In this image, a lot has already happened. Oswald, presumably, slapped his arm to his chest, fell forward, veered backward, and then went up on his toes, before then collapsing. The Shooter jumped about 90 degrees to get in front of Oswald after shooting him. And the Penguins have begun their swarm. But, Fritz hasn't even turned around yet. He's got his arms out, but he hasn't turned around. And that is not the reaction to a gunshot. A gunshot is loud, and when you don't expect it, it startles the hell out of you. Note also that the hallmark of the startle reaction isn't the hands going out; it's the tensing of the neck and the hunching of the shoulders, which Fritz is not doing. What he is doing is acting. But, he happened to be a bad actor. 

The Garage Spectacle was staged, and they were all acting. But, this collage of Will Fritz is screaming out loud that it was all an act. I'm sure there are plenty of children who could see it. That there are any adults who can't is amazing.  

 Now, let's look at the Ruby's mug shots from the Sheriff's Office. On the upper left, you can see that Ruby had quite a lot of scruffy hair growth on the back of his neck. I pointed an arrow to it. However, the Garage Shooter below had a very clean neck. And notice how long his hair was in back. It wasn't tapered at all. It just abruptly stopped, ending with a curl. And, it certainly looks like a wig. You don't see any hair growing out of his head. It's just a mop sitting there. That is not only a toupee but a bad one.

Then, on the upper right, it looks like someone took a Sharpie to Ruby's hair in front. It doesn't look like hair. It has none of the fineness of hair. It just looks like a smear of black.that was done with a wide felt pen.

The comparison picture below is from his trial. I've pointed out that no two images of Ruby show his hair exactly the same, and the range of appearances is very wide. But, what we see in the lower left is very common, where the hair is sparse and the strands are spread, and there is a weird parting of the sparse hair. But, just compare it to his Sheriff mug shot.

All of this enhancing of Ruby's hair was done because James Bookhout wore a thick mop of a hairpiece during the Garage Shooting.

Jack Ruby was not the Garage Shooter. Saying so is the same as saying that George W. Bush is Ronald McDonald. You can do it, but it's only because anyone can hit any keys on the keyboard.

A Tale of Two Conversations

by Ralph C Cinque

It's hard to imagine how the conversation went in the decision to turn Oswald's 40 foot walk to a car into a media extravaganza, especially when you consider that there were hundreds of threatening phone calls about killing Oswald. Still, I shall try to create it, But first, let's consider the conversation that should have happened.

Capt. Fritz: Chief, you got a minute?

Chief Curry: You bet.

Capt. Fritz: We're ready to transfer Oswald to the County Jail, but with all the threatening phone calls that have come in, I figure we better do it in the dead of night and without announcing it. We'll announce it after it's done. Better safe than sorry. And after that, his safety will be up to Decker. Do you agree?

Chief Curry: I do. Under the circumstances, we need an abundance of caution.  So, tell your men that until it's done, mum's the word.

Capt. Fritz: Will do, Chief. Thanks.

RC: Notice that that conversation didn't even mention the press. And that's because it's rational. There was no reason why the press had to witness a 40 foot walk to a car. Now, what follows proposes how the conversation might have gone. 

Chief Curry: Will, I figure we better wait until the wee hours to transfer Oswald and not announce it. One of those nuts who called might actually try something, and there's no point looking for trouble. So do it in the early AM, and we'll announce that it was done tomorrow. And then, hopefully, our stint will be over, and it will be Decker's headache. I'll see you tomorrow. 

Capt. Fritz: Hold on, Chief. What about the press?

Chief Curry: What about them?

Capt. Fritz: They are going to be mighty disappointed if they don't get to see Oswald.

Chief Curry: What do you mean? They've been seeing him all weekend, since two o'clock Friday.  

Capt. Fritz: I know, but this is big.

Chief Curry: What's big about it? You're going to put him in a car and drive him a few blocks to the County Jail.

Captain Fritz: I know, but to them it's a momentous occasion. 

Chief Curry: Well, the disappointments of the press are the least of my concerns. So screw 'em. We have a job to do and policies to follow. See you tomorrow.

Captain Fritz: Chief, I wish you'd reconsider. The fact is: it's the press who pay our salaries.

Chief Curry: How do you figure that? The money for our department comes from the city. 

Captain Fritz: I know, but indirectly, it comes from them. 

Chief Curry: No, it doesn't. It comes directly from the city.

Capt. Fritz: But, they pay taxes.

Chief Curry: As do we all. Look, I'm tired. I want to go home. Just move Oswald in the wee hours and without any fanfare. I've got enough to worry about. Quit fretting about the press.

Captain Fritz: Chief, this is about history, and people want to be part of it. I don't think we should deny them that right. 

Chief Curry: Well, you have a point there. So, what are you suggesting?

Captain Fritz: I suggest we do it up big. Turn it into a procession. Like a graduation ceremony... or maybe a Confirmation. We invite all the press. Cameras, lights, the works. We make it a spectacle.  We make it the most famous walk to a car ever. What do you say?

Chief Curry: I think you're out of your mind, but I'm too tired to argue with you. If you want to throw a party in the City Garage, go ahead; make it a doozey. But, if Oswald gets shot, it's going to be on you.

Captain Fritz: I can live with that.

Chief Curry: Let's hope he can. I'll see you tomorrow. 

  

 

Kim Potter, the former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright in April 2021, was released from prison on Monday after serving just over a year behind bars. POTTER WAS RELEASED AT 4 AM DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.

The ability to be reasonable about this was just as possible in 1963 as it is today. Everyone should realize that the Dallas Police did what they did, with their Garage Extravaganza, to get Oswald killed. Not just to hope that somebody came and killed him, but to do it themselve. And no, they did not conspire with Jack Ruby. They conspired AGAINST Jack Ruby. They didn't need him to kill Oswald for them. They could do that themselves. They just needed him to take the blame for it.

You just have to remember that no one was forcing them to expose Oswald to a crowd of people and broadcasting it day and night. No one could force them, and no one could exert even the slightest pressure on them to do that. It was entirely their own decision; their own choice.

And it is actually crazy, and I mean insane, to express your fear about doing something that you know is dangerous, that you don't have to do, and then proceed to do it anyway. There was no force driving them to do it except themselves.

The Dallas Police and the FBI (since James Bookhout was an FBI agent) killed Lee Harvey Oswald and framed and blamed Jack Ruby. And that is the best kept secret of the JFK assassination. And it is something the perpetrators got completely away with for 50 years. It was the Russian, the great Maxim Irkutsk, who first blared to the world that Jack Ruby was innocent in 2013. And that makes him one of the greatest JFK researchers of all time.

 

Here we have Ruby in handcuffs being led through the Jail Office to be taken upstairs for the first time as they pass Oswald on the floor whom we can't see. There are problems galore with this. By some accounts, Ruby was shoved to the floor and handcuffed as soon as they got inside the Jail Office and taken upstairs. By other accounts, he was handcuffed and then left to lie on the floor a while. But why? In the picture on the left, they are supposedly passing Oswald. The detective glances over at him, but Ruby isn't interested. But, why is Ruby so fat? He wasn't so fat at the time. And why is his neck so jowly? It wasn't. And his hair there is ridiculous, with a huge swathe of baldness but still an island of very thick, wooly hair on top? His hair certainly wasn't that way.

On the right, we see him being taken to his arraignment a few hours later. It looks like he got a makeover, doesn't it? But, that isn't part of the record. Nobody ever said anything about cleaning Ruby up. What, did they get out Brylcream? And apparently, they put him on a rapid exercise program because he looks thinner, leaner, tighter. Wow! What a difference! From stolid to solid.

But hey! I know you Ops are just going to brush all that off: the camera, the angle, the lighting, blah, blah, blah. But, I got something you can't brush off. You won't be able to talk your way around it. Prepare to lose.

So, on the left, his shirt is unbuttoned, and we have to assume that his buttons got torn off in the melee'. The only alternative is that they unbuttoned them for show. In the past, I have mentioned the absurdity of him not being in his jacket, since they handcuffed him as soon as they got through the door, and that's according to 4 detectives: Archer, Clary, McMillan, and Lowery. But, there is also the problem of his shirt being unbuttoned because if the cops did it to make him look roughed up, that's a 4 alarm sign of malfeasance. That it happened by itself during the scuffle is the only move you've got to avoid checkmate. But, if that's true, how come we can see the intact buttons on his shirt on the right? So obviously, the buttons weren't torn off during the scuffle, which means that somebody unbuttoned the shirt, and it could not have been him. But, there is no innocent reason why they would have done that. It means we are back to this whole thing being staged.

 On the left, we see Ruby from behind with his longer, thinner neck, different shaped head, and very different hair than the Garage Shooter on the right. It is simply impossible for them to be the same man.

Do you realize how disparate these images are? It's over! Jack Ruby was not that short, burly, mop-topped Garage Shooter.

 There are no images of a cop handcuffed to a prisoner and with a hand in his pants. The JFK assassination is the only time that such a thing has ever been claimed. But, that didn't stop me from looking for something similar, which I found. I found an image of a cop gripping the link in a man's handcuff. So, this cop, instead of holding him by the arm, is holding him by the cuff-link.

Still, it approximates the arrangement of him being handcuffed to the man, and it shows us approximately what it would look like.

I would describe it as him being slightly forward of the man, with his arm straight, and also laterally raised, with him reaching over. And that is what enables him to reach the cuff-link. What Leavelle is supposedly doing is impossible.

And the people who are fighting me on this are being absolute harebrains. It is mindblowing that in the 21st century people could be that stupid. On the right is a bogus image that was accomplished with paint. And it is a smoking gun that we have been lied to about what happened to Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963 since November 24, 1963.

So, if you care at all about the integrity of your rational mind, you will reject and denounce what they have been telling us for 60 years about how both Kennedy and Oswald died.

 This is supposed to be Leavelle with his hand in Oswald's pants, but what it actually is is a very crappy visual effect. I know about visual effects because I am in the movie business. And I have worked with a lot of visual effects artists over the years. And if any one of them had submitted a visual effect to me as bad as this, I would have fired him on the spot.

And think about how looney the story is. We're supposed to believe that Leavelle was handcuffed to Oswald, but that wasn't enough. In addition, he had to have his hand in his pants. But why? The handcuff alone meant that he and Oswald were inseparable. The handcuff alone meant that Oswald couldn't run away or be grabbed away. This was for a 40 foot walk to a car. So, to walk 40 feet, he needed to, both, be handcuffed to the guy and have a hand in his pants? Don't you think that was a bit over-dramatic?

The forearm consists of two long, solid bones. They don't bend, and they don't curve. Leavelle couldn't do that with his forearm without breaking it. This is embarrassing, it's so bad. I'm embarrassed for them.

And where is Oswald's forearm supposed to be in this picture? We can see his upper arm, and then below it in the coiled sausage that they painted in for Leavelle's forearm. But, where is Oswald's forearm?

I can tell you where it is; they covered it with the linked sausage. So, it's there underneath the linked sausage. They just painted over it.

This whole thing was a made-for-television movie, but everything about it was crass. And again: the story itself is ridiculous. Supposedly, they were deeply concerned that someone would attack Oswald. So, what did they do? They invited all the press and turned a 40 foot walk to a car into an extravaganza. They, the Dallas Police and FBI, killed Oswald. Jack Ruby was just their patsy but totally hapless compared to Oswald.

They needed Oswald dead. Do you understand how badly they needed him dead? It was so urgent that if he had just one visit with an attorney, it would have destroyed them. The jig would have been up.

If you wish to support my work, you can do so by watching my movies. They are free to watch on tubi.com. But, if you would rather not have ads, they can be rented for a few dollars on Amazon. All my movies make a statement. My Stretch of Texas Ground denounces the US post-9/11 wars. His Stretch of Texas Ground wales against the school shootings and the FBI siege at Waco. The Pro Bono Watchman denounces the CIA MK-ULTRA program. Thank you.

 This is a still image of Ruby that was pasted into the film. 

 This is from the AP newsreel, and I believe it was a reenactment in which they forgot about the element of Leavelle being handcuffed to Oswald. Look at Oswald's hands. They are centered in front of his body; both of them. And you can see that Oswald is in front of Levealle's left shoulder. So, there is no way that Leavelle has his left hand where Oswald's right hand is. They just forgot about it for this. And since it was a reenactment done some time later, then obviously, the guy can't be Oswald, since Oswald was dead.

Does anyone want to claim that Leavelle is handcuffed to Oswald in this image?

 I studied the NBC and KRLD films looking for their Jackson frame. In particular, I wanted to see if the Shooter continued pointing the gun at Oswald after he shot him, as we see in the Jackson photo.

In both films, the Shooter rushes in from the side and shoots Oswald from that position; not from in front of him but from the side. Then, in both, LC Graves helps the Shooter get in front of Oswald. He shoves on him. He pushes him. So his hands are on him even before the Shooter gets positioned in front of Oswald. And it's his arm with the gun that Graves is grabbing and controlling.

Is there any frame in which the Shooter is in front of Oswald and pointing his gun at him, as we see in the Jackson photo? No, there is not. There is no frame in either film that corresponds to the Jackson photo. The Jackson photo was not taken during the Spectacle. It was taken at a photo-shoot before the Spectacle.

So, in each case, it shows the moment of the shot on the left, and in KRLD, you can see that Graves already had his hands on the Shooter's arm. And then on the right side, it shows the fast repositioning, with Graves helping the Shooter get there.

The NBC footage was shot more close-up. The Shooter comes in from the side. But, notice on the lower right that Graves' hand is there controlling the arm of the Shooter. So, how could he be pointing his gun at Oswald?

So, there is a dissociation between the films and the Jackson photo. They do not correlate. They do not confirm each other. They tell different stories. The Jackson photo was a staged photo that was shot beforehand. It was the deliberate creation of an iconic photo.

 

On the left is the moment of impact in the second KRLD film. There's no reason to doubt me because if you look closely, you'll see that Oswald is starting to grimace. Compare the geometry to that of the Jackson photo on the right. And what happens in the KRLD film, as well as the NBC film, is that, after shooting Oswald from the side, the Shooter relocates himself. He jumps to where he is facing Oswald with his back to the camera.

But, before you leave the left picture, notice that Oswald's left hand is still resting where it was on top of his right. He has not yet begun the slap the chest thing.

And you never see him do the slap the chest thing because as the Shooter is relocating himself to be in front of Oswald, Oswald goes out of view. And when he comes back into view, he has that very faint hand on his chest that looks weird but different than the freako hand in Jackson. But, I think that if you look at the size of Oswald's cupped hand on the left, and for a good long while, and then quickly glance at the hand in Jackson, you'll realize that the Jackson hand is too big.

But, let's be honest about something. The story of the Jackson photo is that "Ruby" just shot Oswald and from that position. They didn't expect anyone to compare it to the positioning in the films or to the action in the films. Yet, they don't compare well, and the only way to make sense of it is to say that the Jackson photo was taken after Ruby relocated.

But, if that were true, why is he still pointing the gun at Oswald? Is he doing it because he intends to fire a second shot? But, if that is his intention, why didn't he do it? What was he waiting for? Did he ultimately change his mind.

It is my opinion that the Jackson photo is a posed photo that was taken in advance. We have the evidence of Dr. Fred Bieberdorf who said that police evacuated the basement about 9:45 and did not let reporters back in until 10 minutes before the shooting. He too was asked to leave. It was during that interval that the real Jack Ruby showed up and was grabbed. And either before or after that, they took the Jackson and other photos.

But, the main point I am trying to make with this collage is that in the Jackson photo, if the Shooter had enough time to relocate himself after shooting Oswald from the side, then surely it was enough time for Detective Lowery to come out of that hand clasp and very settled, relaxed look, and to activate himself to respond. Everything about Lowery is wrong: his continued hand clasping after the shot; his generalized relaxed state; and the expression on his face, which is totally wrong for the situation that it was.

But, while we're at it, look at Black Harrison on the right. First, he doesn't look like Blackie. He looks like Leonid Breznev. Second, he isn't dressed like Blackie. Blackie was wearing a suit. Does that look like a suit to you/ It looks like a sweater to me. And why is his arm so thick? It seems out of proportion. And what is he supposed to be doing? I have been told that he is supposed to be reaching for the gun with his right hand. While smoking a cigar with his left hand? I've heard of doing two things at once, but those two things?

Doesn't it seem like the first thing he would do, as soon as he realized that there was an active shooter in their midst, is ditch the cigar? To just drop it to the ground? But instead, he is choosing to continue to savor his cigar and just use one hand to deal with the emergency. And in the KRLD footage, you see Blackie smoking as he wrestles with "Ruby." He puts two hands on him, but that cigar remains in his mouth.

I'm telling you: that Jackson photo is a laughing stock. They should be embarrassed by it. Again: it was not taken during the spectacle. Notice that nobody looks activated. Everybody looks perfectly stationary, even though the shot has already gone off. Not one person in it is reacting appropriately to a gun blast. There wasn't any when it was taken.

 Why were people gathered at the Main Street ramp, when it was an incoming ramp? Who were they expecting to arrive? I know the answer. They were expecting Jack Ruby to arrive. They were there to be a magnet for him.

So, that's the truth, but what do the ops and trolls offer as an alternative? Nothing. At least, most of them say nothing. But, Debbie Vanderpool Reitz can conjure up a reason for anything. So, give it your best shot, Debbie, and make it a doozie.

How is it that four detectives got the idea to handcuff the Shooter as soon as they got into the Jail Office? McMillan, Archer, Clary, and Lowery. But, how come no one got the idea to handcuff him in the garage? It was a narrow corner door, so rather than try to go through it with a struggling man, why not handcuff him in the garage?

None of the detectives had the nerve to claim that before handcuffing this struggling man, this thug, that they removed his jacket. Yet, in the footage we have of them taking Ruby upstairs, he is wearing a tattered shirt but no jacket. But wait: if they handcuffed him as soon as they got through the door, and it's what they all said, then his jacket was still on. So, why isn't it on him when they lead him away?

And remember, once you handcuff him, you can't remove the jacket on account of the handcuffs. You see, you can't take the arms out of the sleeves when the hands are handcuffed. So, you would have to remove the handcuffs, then get the jacket off him, and then put the handcuffs back on. No one claimed to do that.

And how come Ruby's shirt is unbuttoned? You can't claim that the buttons were torn off in the melee' because he was wearing a jacket. And, the buttons couldn't have been torn off because he wore his own shirt to his arraignment, and it was buttoned. So, that means that somebody must have unbuttoned Ruby's shirt for that picture. But why? It must have been for effect. "Look at Jack Ruby. Look how desheveled he looks. His hair is wild. His shirt is unbuttoned because that's what happens in a fight."

But note that we never saw the Shooter acting out against the police. What we saw from him was complete passivity. After shooting Oswald, he dove into the waiting arms of the police and never initiated any aggressive action against them. He was completely passive. So, what was all the ruckus about? Why did it require so many men? If he wasn't resisting; if he wasn't fighting them (and he wasn't) then what were the penguins, and I mean, the cops doing?

 On the far left is Detective Lowery. It is several minutes before the jail transfer, and he is standing around clasping his hands. On the right is the Jackson photo, which was supposedly taken after the shot.

So unexpectedly, and to everyone's utter shock and surprise, a shot has gone off. Oswald has vocalized, and he has slammed his arm to his chest. The Shooter has relocated himself. He didn't shoot Oswald from the position we see him, that is, from in front of him. He shot Oswald from the side, and from quite a sharp angle. But then, he jumped to the position in front of him.

So, all of that has happened since the shot, and yet Lowery is still clasping his hands.

How is that possible? The startle reaction is a reflex. It is instantaneous. You put your hand on a hot stove, and before you can think about it, your reflexes rip your hand off the stove.

How could he continue to do that, and not only do it, but look, in every way, so completely relaxed? A shot has gone off. A shot has gone off. A shot has gone off.

But, you see, a shot didn't go off. It was a staged photo taken in advance. So, there was no shot. And since there was no shot, there was no trauma. And since there was no trauma, they had to cover up the area of trauma. Hence, Oswald has his arm and freak hand to his chest, covering the area of trauma.

The idea of slamming one's arm to one's chest after being shot has its origins in theater. For instance, in the Vaudeville of the late 19th century and early 20th cventury, it involved over-dramatic and comedic gestures that were meant to be goofball and funny. And, it has long been a staple in children's play. For instance, at the end of Kill Bill, when Kiddo, played by Uma Thurmond, finally tracks down Bill, played by David Carradine, who is in possession of her daughter, they are playing a shoot-'em-up, and Bill, even though he knows she has come there to kill him, directs her to join the make-believe, and she does. All of them act out being shot by bringing their arm to their chest.

But, people don't do it in real life, and there is no reason to do it. And in Oswald's case, it was impossible for him to do it. Do you know what that bullet did to him? This is from the autopsy:

That bullet tore through his spleen and his stomach. Then it ripped through his aorta and severed his superior mesenteric artery, which is large. Then it tore through his inferior vena cava before destroying his right renal artery and right renal vein. Then, it coursed through his right kidney before lacerating his liver in a wound that was 10 x 2 x 2 cms. Then, it burst through his 11th rib before settling under his skin.

Do you know what a person does after experiencing that amount of trauma? THEY DO NOTHING! They just go down. They fall. They collapse. They lose conscousness. They are instantly in a devastated, catastrophic state. And that damage is instantaeous. The idea that Oswald could have cringed forward, then veered back, vocalised, and gone up on his toes after sustaining that severity of trauma and devestation is preposterous.

Having Oswald slap his arm to his chest was a childishly stupid idea of these posers. But, I understand why they did it. It was to capture that post-shot propaganda photo and explain why no trauma is visible. It's because the area involved got completely, totally covered up. Wasn't that convenient?

The shooting of Oswald in that garage was faked, but, without a doubt, he was shot soon afterwards, and he died that day. But, this Jackson photo is laughably stupid. Not one person is reacting appropriately, and some aren't reacting at all. Supposedly, a shot went off. When are people going to sober up about this?
