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

 This is Marina's Warren Commission testimony in which gave a minute by minute account of what happened to her on Sunday. And you'll notice that she didn't say anything about going to the hospital to view her dead husband.

I pointed out that in the picture I posted, the child that Marina is walking with could not possibly be 17 month old June. I also said that the tube that Marguerite was carrying was not newborn Rachel. And besides that photo, there is a film of them walking into Parkland, and Marguerite is carrying Rachel differently, more horizontally and without the tight wrap. So, which is the real and which is the fake? They're both fake.

From looking at the film, it looks like them, and it may have been a reenactment. I know there was a reeanactment because Michael Hardin's hair is very different from how it was on November 24.

I'm going to post Marina's testimony, but first, let me tell you that I don't think they wanted her to view Oswald's body. I think that even if she had asked to, they would have said no. And that's because they had already begun the process of extracting her from her old life. They didn't even want her to be around Ruth Paine, let alone her dead husband. Imagine if she had seen his mangled, frightening, grotesque body. It would have provoked feelings of pity for him, and they didn't want that.

They were immersing her in a new world in which "Oswald as monster" was the theme of it. They wanted her to jettison any and all tender feelings she had for him. They wanted her to leave him behind as she entered this new world in which Lee Harvey Oswald was a psychotic psychopath. And that's why they didn't want her crying over his dead body.

But, the idea that they, the Secret Service, did that for her, took her to view his body, had PR value for them. It made them look like they were sensitive and compassionate and were trying to serve her. So, that's why they faked it. Here now is her testimony:

Mrs. Oswald: I remember that en route, in the car, Mike Howard or Charley Kunkel said that Lee had been shot today.
At first he said that it wasn't serious--perhaps just not to frighten me. I was told that he had been taken to a hospital, and then I was told that he had been seriously wounded.
Then they had to telephone somewhere. They stopped at the house of the chief of police, Curry. From there, I telephoned Ruth to tell her that I wanted to take several things which I needed with me, and asked her to prepare them. And that there was a wallet with money and Lee's ring.
Soon after that--Robert was no longer with me, but Gregory was there, and the mother, and the Secret Service agents. They said that Lee had died.
After that, we went to the Motel Inn, the Six Flags Inn, where I stayed for several days--perhaps two weeks--I don't know.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall what time of the day you heard that your husband had been shot?
Mrs. OSWALD. Two o'clock in the afternoon, I think.
Mr. RANKIN. And where were you at that time?
Mrs. OSWALD. I was in a car.
Mr. RANKIN. Just riding around, or at some particular place?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, not at two o'clock earlier. Lee was shot at 11 o'clock. It was probably close to 12 o'clock. He died at one.
Mr. RANKIN. And where was the car that you were in at that time?
Mrs. OSWALD. We were on the way to Chief Curry, en route front the hotel.
Mr. RANKIN. What did you do after you went to the motel?
Mrs. OSWALD. I left with Robert and we prepared for the funeral. Then Ruth Paine sent my things to me via the agent.
