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

 Michael Piatak put up this excellent post about the fact that Oswald never ordered a rifle from Klein's.

It's true that Oswald didn't. But, think about the implications of it. It means, of course, that he didn't shoot Kennedy. But, it also means that the FBI knowingly concocted the whole thing. Now, how could they expect to do that and get away with it? They had to know that it would NEVER hold up in court. The trial of Oswald would have turned into an indictment of the FBI. Not only could they not try him; they couldn't even let him talk to a lawyer. Because remember: there was no gag order. There wasn't even a judge involved. It meant that the lawyer could have gone public with anything that Oswald said. Oswald could have won before the trial even started.

Think about the fact that right away Will Fritz got Ruby a lawyer. He let Ruby talk to the lawyer before Frtiz himself talked to Ruby. Fritz waited on that. He even told a reporter that Ruby "is talking to his lawyer, which is his right." So, why did Fritz treat Ruby and Oswald so different?

It's because from the start, Fritz had a puppet-master who was pulling his strings. And the puppet-master was FBI Agent James W. Bookhout. Bookhout must have told Fritz: no lawyer for Oswald. What reason did he give him? He probably told him it was a matter of national security.

Now, think about the fact that Officer Marrion Baker had a gun pointed at Oswald on the 2nd floor less than 2 minutes after the last shot. But, "superintendent" Roy Truly convinced Baker to let him go. He said that Oswald worked for him, and he must have said it in a manner that showed that he considered him harmless. But then, 20 minutes later, Truly went to the police and said that Oswald was missing at the roll-call, and therefore, he should be considered the prime suspect? The explanation for that dichotomy is that they did not want Oswald arrested at the TSBD. They wanted to get him armed first so that he could die in a shootout with the police at the theater. The latter didn't work out. It almost did. There were some itchy trigger fingers with a gun pointed at him. But after that, it is very likely that the Midnight Press Conference was set up to kill him, but again, it didn't work out. And even though Oswald only spoke to reporters for slightly over a minute, he did a lot of damage complaining about not getting a lawyer. And that made it necessary for them to try to undo the damage by tricking Attorney H Louis Nichols into believing that he met with Oswald who turned down his offer of a lawyer. There is no way the real Oswald would have done that. That was on Saturday evening after Oswald was taken to his Saturday evening interrogation. They slipped the Oswald double in his cell and then brought Nichols up to talk to him. But, that cleared the way for them to try once again to kill Oswald, which they managed to pull off the next morning.

So, what did Jack Ruby have to do with it? Very little. He was just a patsy. And I don't mean that he was working with the Dallas Police. Ruby wasn't working with anybody; not the Dallas Police, not the Mafia, not the CIA. Nobody. Ruby was just a stumbling, bumbling fool. He was steered to the Jail Transfer by the Karen Carlin ruse, which put him just a block away.

So, how did they get him to go from Western Union to the basement? In a word: DRUGS. He was stoned, and in a way that made him very compliant and submissive.

What were those people doing at the Main Street ramp? It was an incoming ramp, so who were they expecting to arrive? Elvis? The Pope to hear Oswald's confession? They were there for Ruby, to nudge him down that ramp. Ruby was guided from his apartment to that basement like a Pavlovian dog. And it was an hour before. Ruby had his melee' in the basement with the cops an hour before. Then, they got him tucked away up on the 5th floor, and then FBI Agent James Bookhout played him for the cameras in the garage, being careful not to show his face.

All of this is true, and it was a necessity, because Oswald never ordered a rifle from Chicago, and it would have been a dead ringer for Oswald and his lawyer to prove it in court, and the FBI knew it. Oswald having to die was baked into the cake beforehand.
