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

 Did Jackie Kennedy speak to her husband during the assassination? I did a Yahoo search about it, and this is what Yahoo generated:

"Jackie Kennedy did not explicitly state whether she tried to talk to her husband, President John F. Kennedy, during the assassination on November 22, 1963. In interviews and accounts following the event, Jackie described her feelings and actions but did not confirm any attempts to speak to him during the shooting. Some historians and biographers suggest that her instinct was to shield him rather than communicate verbally in that moment of crisis. Overall, while Jackie Kennedy's immediate actions are documented, her specific attempts to communicate with JFK during the assassination remain unclear."

 Notice how overly defensive that is, that it goes overboard in making excuses for her not talking to him.

 I have to think that she did talk to him because it would have been insane if she didn't. When there is a crisis, when a person is obviously struggling and in trouble, and you're trying to help him, you speak to him, as in "Jack, what's the matter? What happened? Are you sick? Are you hurt? What's wrong?" She would have done that instinctively. Anyone would. He was her husband. Of course, she would try to solicit information from him about what was going on with him.

 And let's remember, that after he was dead, and I mean after the fatal head shot, which effectively killed him, even though it took a little while for all life signs to cease, then they admit that she started talking to him, including "I love you, Jack." But, she would not have waited until then. Her first response would have been to query him about what was going on.

 So, I think she spoke to him, and I think that any honest, rational person will concede that she must have. And I think an effort was made to delete any statements she made about having spoken to him prior to the fatal head shot. They didn't mind reporting that she spoke to him AFTER the fatal head shot because he couldn't possibly respond then. But, let's go back to the beginning when she first turned and looked at him and saw that he had a "quizzical" look on his face. That is when she first would have said, "Jack, what's wrong? You don't look right." And I believe that's what they deleted.

 So why did they delete it? It's because it added another component of derangement to JFK's behavior. We know that JFK exhibited bizarre muscle spasms after emerging from behind the phony sign in the Zapruder film. We know that he never said anything, and Jackie was very clear about that, that he didn't speak or make a sound. And we also know that he never looked at her or made eye contact with her. We can see that with our own eyes. But, her speaking to him, and undoubtedly asking him questions, and him not responding? Not answering? Just ignoring her? That is yet another manifestation of JFK's severe cognitive impairment. Yet, he had suffered no brain damage to that point. His injuries were limited to a shallow, harmless wound in his back, and a shallow wound in his throat that damaged his trachea but did nothing to his brain. He had suffered no brain trauma. So, how could his relatively minor physical wounds have caused him to lose his cognitive ability completely?

 This demands an answer, and the only answer is that he suffered a chemical, attack that shut down his brain. His inability to respond to her when she spoke to him; his inability to focus on her when she looked at him; and his inability to communicate in any way, or to show any sign of awareness, alertness, and lucidity, is proof-positive that he was utterly gone mentally. And it was most certainly not the result of physical trauma.

 Look at this poor guy: all contracted in painful spasms due to a nerve agent and lacking the mental wherewithal to communicate or in any way, or even to acknowledge, to the slightest degree, the attention he was getting from his wife. The extremeness of his derangement is so apparent, and I lambaste the entire medical community for choosing not to see this very obvious pathological manifestation. Shame on them.
