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

 It is glaringly obvious that the Garage Spectacle was staged. On Sunday morning, Dallas cops went on Dallas talk radio saying that they feared that Oswald was going to be attacked during the Jail Transfer. Oh really? Then why were they doing it? Why not move him in the dead of night without any fanfare and just announce the next morning that he had been moved? How smart did they have to be to think of that? They said that that were dozens of calls from people threatening to kill Oswald. Oh really? Why would someone bent on murder forewarn the police? How does that make sense from the perspective of the criminal? What’s in it for them? One cop even said that he answered a call in which he could tell that the caller was Jack Ruby. Oh really? Then why didn’t he go pick up Ruby? It’s a crime to plot to kill someone. But, there’s no chance that it’s true. Ruby’s roommate George Senator testified to the Warren Commission, and he said that Ruby made no calls before leaving for Western Union.

Why is there a discrepancy between what Ruby said and what Roy Vaughn said/ Vaughn said that that Lt. Rio Sam Pierce didn’t stop, that he came up the ramp, which caused Vaughn to check for traffic and then wave him through. They didn’t speak. But, Ruby said that when he was there, that Pierce was parked at the top of the ramp, and the officer on foot was leaning into the window talking to him. And, he said that he didn’t recognize the officer on foot, while he knew Roy Vaugh. Vaughn had been to the Carousel Club on police business, and he also pulled Ruby over once for a traffic violation, but he let him off with just a warning, since he was a “friend of the Department.” That’s what Vaughn said. And Ruby was very good at remembering the names of Dallas cops.

So, what explains the discrepancy? Vaughn and Ruby were there at different times. Ruby was there first. And once he was tucked away up on the 5^th floor, Vaughn started his shift guarding the Main Street ramp. The whole idea was to frame him for, negligently, letting Ruby in. In other words, out of stupidity, rather than plotting. But, it turned out that Vaughn wasn’t so stupid. When he was issued a reprimand for letting Ruby in, he hired a lawyer and sued the Department. He knew God-damn well that Ruby never slipped by him. And the Department settled out of court. That is, they paid Vaughn money in damages. Vaughn went on to become the Police Chief of Midlothian, Texas, a mid-sized city. And after that, he went on to become a Municipal Judge, which he did until he died. And he swore, to his last breath, that Ruby never got past him.

Why didn’t the Dallas cops handcuff the Shooter in the garage? Why take him somewhere without first handcuffing him? He was violent, right? He killed somebody, right? So, why not get him in cuffs immediately. And their story was that after getting him into the Jail Office, several of the penguins, I mean, the detectives got the idea to handcuff him at the same time, but it was McMillan’s cuffs that went on him. They didn’t remove his jacket first. They just put him in handcuffs. Therefore, how is it that in the WFAA footage, which supposedly shows Ruby being taken upstairs for the first time, he is in just a shirt and no jacket?

The whole story is a lie. Ruby didn’t kill Oswald. He was just tricked into believing that he did. The Dallas Police killed Oswald. And I don’t say it was their idea. Rather, it was an order that they got from LBJ.  He was the Commander in Chief, and all Fritz’ men were WW2 vets except for Charles Dhority. When the Commander in Chief gives you an order, you obey it.

Why did the cops have the ambulance go all the way down to the Pearl Expressway, only to come back on Main from whence they came? They made a big loop. Why did they do that? To kill time so that Oswald would bleed out.  They had to make sure that it would be too late for doctors to save him.

Again: the whole story is a lie. The Dallas Police killed Oswald, and they tricked Ruby into believing that he did it. It had to be one of the worst things any Police Department ever did. It was the monstrous end to a monstrous weekend.
