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

 This is awful. It is a video by John Armstrong in which he claims that the Dallas Police and Jack Ruby conspired together to kill Oswald, that members of the Dallas Police, such as Sergeant Patrick Dean, were involved in opening doors in the annex that enabled Ruby to reach the garage without going down the Main Street ramp. 

It's a long video; over 2 hours. And it, John claimed that Ruby was "ordered" to kill Oswald. But, by whom? Before, it was that the Mafia ordered Ruby to do it, but John didn't once mention the Mafia in this video. I assume that John meant that the Dallas Police ordered Ruby to do it. And John even said that Ruby didn't want to do it and tried to get out of it, that he made a call to the Police that he hoped would zilch the operation. 

But, exactly how could the Dallas Police "order" Ruby to shoot Oswald? What did they threaten to do to him if he refused? I'm not even going to propose something because there is no evidence of anything. 

So, why would Jack Ruby shoot Oswald just because the Dallas Police wanted him to? 

But, where this God-awful theory goes horribly wrong is over the fact that after the Dallas Police and Ruby supposedly conspired to kill Oswald that the Dallas Police proceeded not only to arrest Ruby but to testify against him at a trial in which he was being prosecuted for murder with the death penalty being sought. 

Now, let me make a very simple point: if the Dallas had forced Ruby to shoot Oswald on their order, then they would had to kill Ruby forthwith. Because: after doing that, how could they trust Ruby to keep his mouth shut? How could they be sure that his lawyers would not have pried the truth out of him? And even he tried to be stalwart, at first putting on an act and lying through his teeth, what if he lost wind? What if he just tired out? What if after 6 months of that, he just woke up one morning and said: "That's it. I've had it. I am going to take those guys down with me." Do you think those Dallas cops went to bed every night hoping and praying that Ruby kept his mouth shut?

If they had conspired with Ruby they would have had to kill him, and they would have killed him. The fact that Ruby lived until 1967 should tell you that he didn't know anything. 

And why WHY WHY would Dallas Police trust Jack Ruby to discharge a firearm in a cubbyhole packed with Dallas Police? Jack Ruby was a nincompoop. He was a dunce. Nobody respected him. He was an idiot. And as far as we know, Ruby had never fired that pistol once, not even to practice. If you were Jim Leavelle, would you want Jack Ruby shooting a bullet in your direction, with the only thing between you and the bullet being the skinny body of Oswald? 

Ruby said that he entered by way of the Main Street ramp. And he described what he saw when he got there. He said he saw Lt. Sam Rio Pierce parked at the top of the ramp with an officer on foot talking to him whom Ruby did not recognize. Do you realize that we have no evidence that Ruby ever lied? And it was Ruby who begged for a lie detector test or to be given truth serum. Why would he request those things? It's because he knew he had no intention of lying. And he passed the lie detector test. However, it was decided by the Warren Commission that because Ruby was declared to be psychotic, that the results would not be counted. But, I looked at his lie detector test, and he did say that he entered the garage thru the Main Street ramp without help. 

Some years ago, John Armstrong and I talked on the phone several times. And at that time, his conviction was that the Mafia ordered Ruby to kill Oswald. And he was unshakable about it. But now, he's switched it to the Dallas Police "ordering" Ruby to do it, although again, I'm clueless as to how they could have coerced him. 

I still wholeheartedly support John Armstrong's thesis that there were two Lee Harvey Oswalds, whose identities were merged when they were young boys. One was born in New Orleans as Lee Harvey Oswald, and the other (the Oswald of fame whom John refers to as "Harvey") was a Russian-speaking, post-WW2 orphan refugee, probably from Eastern Europe, who was extremely gifted with languages. And that's when the CIA's "Oswald Project" began when they merged the identities of the two boys, and it happened in New York City. 

However, I utterly denounce John's thesis about Jack Ruby and the Oswald shooting. John refuses to accept that Ruby was a completely witless patsy. And not just witless, but drugged and witless. There was a conspiracy, but it didn't involve Ruby. He had nothing to do with it. But, do you know who was in on it? Oswald. Oswald went along with the theater in the garage. 

Do you understand that it is impossible for Graves and Oswald not to be aware of "Ruby"? 

I put Ruby in quotes since he wasn't Ruby. But, peripheral vision- as well as other sensory input- would definitely have made them aware of the shooter. Yes, there was a conspiracy which involved the Dallas Police, the FBI, the Secret Service (who took custody of Marina before Oswald was shot, knowing that he would be shot). And I am very sure it started with Lyndon Baines Johnson. Fritz and his Stetson-wearing men weren't saints, but they weren't killers. They NEVER would have thought of doing it themselves. They were ordered to do it by Johnson. He was the Commander in Chief, and all but one of them were soldiers or seamen who fought in the war. I'm sure LBJ gave them his usual line, that there would be anarchy, that there might be war with the Soviet Union in which 100 million die, that there could be civil war; that there could be an economic collapse; that for the sake of the country and the Kennedy family, that everything had to be resolved that weekend.  

LBJ's henchman Cliff Carter was on the phone with Fritz 11 times on Friday alone, and that was before there were cell phones. 

Jack Ruby was not involved in the conspiracy to kill Oswald at all. He was completely bamboozled; tricked into believing that he had done it. And if you are going to quote Jack Ruby, quote that he told the Warren Commission that he sent the money-wire at 10:17, an hour before.  Because: that is what happened. They nabbed him an hour before. 

 Here is the link to John Armstrong's video, in which he is completely deluded. It's called "Oswald's pre-arranged murder" and yes, it was pre-arranged, but not by Jack Ruby. Poor Jack Ruby was just a witless moron who was played like an instrument.
