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

 This image is hollering at us. Look how sharp and focused the cop was as he studied Ruby- his mind was working. But, Ruby was in a daze. His eyes are glassy; his pupils are dilated; he looks like a zombie. He was drugged!

JFK's killers needed Oswald dead. He had a stranglehold on the FBI. He never mail-ordered a rifle from Chicago- they made it up. And they never presented any of their phony evidence to him. Why bother? They knew he would deny it. It would have just tipped him off. He probably didn't have a P.O. Box either; so it's no surprise they didn't ask him about it. 

If you haven't read John Armstrong's paper on why Oswald could not have ordered a rifle from Chicago, you should.

 You know that Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered. But why? You think it was because she was uncovering stuff about Mafia involvement in the assassination? The Mafia claim was Government Story#2. It's what the HSCA settled on. "If you don't like our Lone Nut Story, try our Mafia story." They weren't going to kill her over that. They killed her because she, alone, got to speak privately to Ruby; not once, but twice. It wasn't just what he told her; it was what he showed her about his state of mind; how juvenile he was; how scatterbrained he was; and also, how totally devoid of malice he was. He had a childlike innocence about him and a very apparent decency. Watch this video of him, and remember: he was no actor and no liar. Ruby was pathologically honest because he lacked the cunning and shrewdness to lie.

Do you know how George Senator became Ruby's roommate? They were both living in the same apartment building, but they didn't know each other. Senator was being evicted because he lost his job and couldn't pay his rent. Ruby heard about it, and he offered to let Senator move in with him- so that he wouldn't be homeless. Would you do that? I could never do that. I might do it for someone I knew. but not for a stranger. So, Ruby was more compassionate than I am, And I think it was a set-up. I think George Senator was placed there to become a spy and controller of Ruby. 

You know that Dorothy Kilgallen talked privately to Ruby twice. And remember who she was: a journalist, a scoop getter. So, what did she ask him about? His Mafia connections? He would have told her that he wasn't in the Mafia. That's what he told everyone else. You think he would have said something different to her? Of course not. She must have asked him about the Oswald shooting and whether he planned it, and he must have told her that he not only didn't plan it, but he had no memory of doing it; that all he could remember was reaching the basement and being jumped by police; taken up to the 5th floor, where he was told that he shot Oswald. How surprised was she when she found out that his entire basis for believing that he shot Oswald was the Dallas Police telling him that he did it? 

Dorothy Kilgallen was smart. She was 10x smarter than Ruby's lawyers. Surely, she picked up that Ruby came across as a gentle, respectful, and harmless person. Aggressiveness in action starts with aggressiveness in personality, and there was nothing aggressive about him. She was more aggressive than he was, and I'm sure she knew that. 

She may have come away with the thought that Ruby just snapped. And after that, she probably wanted to see the snapping. So, did she study the Beers and Jackson photos that were so widely circulated? Did she go study the films, which as a journalist, she could have accessed? She sat next to Ruby as they talked and looked eye to eye. She saw him up close and personal, so she got a very good look at him. So, between her interviews of him, did she notice the discrepancies between him and the Garage Shooter? 

And why did Dorothy want to talk to Ruby a second time? Again: it wasn't Mafia-related. There was nothing to follow-up with about that. She wanted to follow-up with him about exactly what happened on Sunday. I bet she asked him to detail everything that happened from the moment he got up. I'm sure he went into great detail, that he brought his dog along because he was going to leave her at the Carousel Club before going on with his day; that that he never expected to see Oswald at all, let alone shoot him; and that no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't conjure up any mental image of himself shooting Oswald, that it was a complete blank, a hole in the memory.  All he could remember was going to the garage and being pounced upon by police. That is what he told his lawyers, and surely, it was what he told her. But again, Dorothy was smart; much smarter than Ruby's lawyers. It may have dawned on her that what Ruby was saying was exactly what happened; that he got there early and had his own private scuffle with the police; and it was the police who were lying.  

And remember that he told the Warren Commissioners that he sent the money wire at 10:17. Did he tell her the same? No one overheard their conversation, and the only thing Dorothy said about it was that she was going to blow the case wide open. But, the perpetrators knew the truth, that Ruby was framed and innocent, and they were worried that she figured it out. Ruby could not have told her anything about the JFK assassination; nor could he have told her anything about Oswald. The only thing he could have told her was what happened on November 24; what he did, and what happened to him. 

It's risky to kill someone, and it looks bad. Look at all the people who think that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered- and I'm one of them. Just as many think that Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered. That's the price you pay, but they were willing to pay it. And again, it wasn't because of Mafia disclosures. Ruby had nothing about the Mafia to disclose. Do you really think he would have withheld that from his lawyers but revealed it to Dorothy Kilgallen? She was planning to write a book. What would be the point of lying to his lawyers but telling the truth to an author? 

If she had just talked with him once, they might have brushed it off. But, she went back a second time, which meant that something troubled her; that she needed confirmation and clarification about something he said the first time.  

I've said many times that they couldn't let Oswald speak to a lawyer, not even once, because if they did, they’d have had to kill the lawyer. Well, letting Ruby talk to an investigative reporter, Dorothy Kilgallen, was equally as bad, and when she went back and talked to him a second time, that was it. That's when they decided, "that bitch must have figured it out, or she’s about to; so she has to die."
