Oswald would have had to be psychotic to shoot Kennedy. He never said a bad word about Kennedy in his life. Marina said that he liked Kennedy, that he defended Kennedy to her family in Russia. When Oswald heard that Kennedy liked to read James Bond novels, he started reading them too.

The story went that, with no ominous precedents about Kennedy whatsoever, Oswald saw that his motorcade would be passing the building, and he decided, on the spot, to kill him.

Oswald was living his life. He was working there. He was spending his free time with his family in Irving. The top priority in his life was to get his family back under his roof. He also wanted to acquire a better job. And he believed that getting a driver's license would make him more employable; so he was pursuing that too.

So, that was his life. That was where his mind was at. So, why would seeing the motorcade route in the newspaper cause him to go berserk and decide to kill Kennedy? There is no reason to think that it would. If you watch the Midnight Press Conference- and you should watch the whole thing because there are a lot of partial postings of it- you'll see that Oswald comes across as the most lucid, stable, and rational person in the room. He was totally in control of himself and totally sensible.

Now, the truth is that Oswald never did see that the motorcade would be passing the building. When he saw people gathering on the sidewalk on Friday morning, he asked James Jarman why they were doing that, and Jarman told him that the President would be riding by. Appareently, Oswald did not know that prior to that. So, how could he have had any plan to kill Kennedy? He couldn't have.

And the plotters realized that Oswald had to be made to seem insane, and that his insanity couldn't just start on 11/22. And that's why they made up the story about Oswald trying to shoot Walker. Oswald did not do that. He did not order or own a rifle. It is established in the record that he never took a rifle with him to New Orleans. And that means that no rifle of his was brought back from New Orleans and stored in Ruth Paine's garage.

Witnesses said there were two culprits at the Walker shooting, and that they both drove off in separate cars. Oswald had no car, and he had no friends. So, it couldn't have been him. And the bullet that was dug out of Walker's home was not one of the 6.5 x 52 mm bullets connected to the rifle that Oswald didn't even own.

But, that isn't the only wild story they added. They also got Marina to say that Oswald informed here he was going somewhere in Dallas to kill Nixon. That was in April of '63. Nixon was not in Dallas then, but LBJ was. So, they asked her if she meant LBJ, but she said no, that she was sure it was Nixon. And she said she stopped him by locking him in the bathroom. And when it was pointed out to her that bathroom only lock from the inside, she said he held the door handle, and he couldn't overcome her great strength.

So, like the alleged Walker shotoing attempt, which was on April 10, that was also in April. I don't know the exact day. And then, Oswald moved to New Orleans on April 24. According to Ruth Paine, Marine was very sad that he was leaving. She cried. And then when he called and said he had rented an apartment for them, Marina was jumping for joy, and she went to June and said to her in Russian, "Papa loves us."

Marina would have had to be insane too. When you find out that your husband is a homicidal maniac, you don't want to follow him anywhere. You want to get away from him. You want to protect yourself and your daughter. You don't follow him down to New Orleans after he does those things.

So what the authorities were telling us was that both Oswald and Marina were insane.

But, neither one of them was insane. It was just storytelling by bad storytellers. And I know about storytelling. I've written 8 movies.

Now, listen to me: The U.S. government killed Kennedy, and they killed Tippit and Oswald too. But, it was a transitional thing. It started as just a cabal, a secret network within the U.S. government, that did it. But, as soon as JFK took his last breath and LBJ became President, at that instant the entire U.S. federal government got behind the official lone nut story. You might as well say every federal employee, politician, diplomat, military personnel, etc. got behind it. And if anyone didn't believe it, they kept it to themselves. From that moment on, it was like a tsunami of pressure to go along with the story.. And it wasn't much different for those in state governments. And of course, the mainstream media supported it. The tsumami covered everything and everyone. Acceptance of the official story beame a litmus death for loyalty, patriotism, and love of country. The tsumani was so powerful, even Robert Kennedy didn't try to resist it.

So, it went from being a secret operation to a government decree that put everyone on the spot to either accept it or be an outcast. So, everyone accepted it, even though the non-seguitors existed, such as the complete lack of credibility of a rifle going to and from New Orleans. It was a roadblock then, as it is now, and people have ignored it all along. The pressure has persisted, and that's why it takes courage to do what we're doing.

 They have told us that Oswald shot Tippit at 10th and Patton, but they can't even tell us what Oswald was doing there. Why would he have been in that location? In route to what destinaton? You don't know? Then you don't know that he was there. It is a big gaping hole in the story.

And guess what? They never told us what he said about it They didn't tell us a word about what he said about anything he did after he left his boarding room.

But, you know what the situation was, and you know quite a bit about Oswald. So, where could he have been going when he was at 10th and Patton? The answer is: no conceivable place. When WC Attorney David Belin was asked where Oswald was going when he was at 10th and Patton, his response was: "Mexico." Are you going to buy that ridiculous answer? And from the people who buried whatever Oswald said about it? Oswald didn't have so much as a toothbrush on him, let alone a change of socks. And he only had $14 and change in his pocket. How could he be going to Mexico? And what about that location and direction had anything to do with going to Mexico? Was there an international bus station a few blocks from there or a mile from there? No, there wasn't. There was no link whatsoever between that spot and Mexico.

And ironically: Oswald didn't even go to Mexico the first time they said he went there. He said he didn't. It's in the record. Who are you going to believe, him or them?

A network within the U.S. government killed Kennedy, Tippit, and Oswald that weekend. And they killed a lot more people after that to cover their tracks. And our government has been lying to us about it for over 62 years. Join me in exposing them. Together, we can destroy the Big Lie that Oswald killed Kennedy. We can do this.

 Even though the AI resources, such as Chat GPT, are programmed to support the official story of the JFK assassination, sometimes you can get meaningful revelations from them. Here, for instance, I got Chat GPT to admit that Ruth Paine's testimony about what Oswald took to New Orleans is roadblock for the official story because if Oswald didn't bring his supposed rifle with him to New Orleans, then he could not have snuck it into Ruth Paine's station wagon on September 23, where it, supposedly, got put in her garage, unbeknownst to her, for him to find in the wee hours of the morning on November 22. So, this is a complete roadblock to the official story that Oswald killed Kennedy. Ralph Cinque: So, she didn't say anything about him bringing a rifle?

Correct. Ruth Paine did not testify that Oswald brought a rifle, a rifle case, or any long package with him when she drove him to the bus station on April 24, 1963.

Her testimony consistently described his belongings as:

• Two green duffel bags
• Two or three suitcases
• A tan portable Russian radio
• A zippered bag

When Commissioner Jenner questioned her in detail, he specifically went through the inventory of what Oswald had taken into the station. At no point did she mention a rifle or any object that could reasonably be described as one. She was also emphatic that everything he brought was taken into the bus station and remained there.

This has been noted by researchers because, according to the Warren Commission's timeline:

• Oswald allegedly ordered the Carcano rifle in March 1963.
• It was allegedly delivered to his Dallas post office box before he left for New Orleans.
• If that account is correct, then the question naturally arises: how did the rifle get from Dallas to New Orleans?

Ruth Paine's testimony does not answer that question, because she did not report seeing a rifle among his belongings.

 Let's be clear about something: Oswald was NOT spying for the U.S. government, or even for the CIA, when he was in the Soviet Union. An intelligence spy is an intelligence agent. It is a profession. It is work, and dangerous work at that, for which the person gets paid.

And there is no evidence that Oswald got paid a cent.

If Oswald was a spy in Russia, then for nearly three years, he was on the payroll. Imagine how much they would have owed him when he got back to the U.S.. Ironically, Oswald was provided the money by the U.S. State Department for him and Marina to travel to America. We've been told that he paid that money back after he started working in Texas, but I have my doubts. We know that all Oswald's jobs were very low-paying: minimum wage. We know that they lived hand to mouth. We know that they often had to depend on the largess of others to survive. The idea that Oswald could hvae saved up enough from working to pay off that debt seems doubtful to me.

But, I do think that Oswald was given money when he traveled to Russia. He reportedly stayed at two fancy hotels in Helsinki, Finland, the Hotel Torni and then the Klaus Kurki Hotel, as he awaited his Soviet visa. Supposedly, he paid his travel expenses from personal savings, but I doubt it.

Once he was in the Soviet Union, and for nearly 3 years, he didn't receive a penny of money from the U.S., not until the State Department fronted him his travel money to return. And it looks bad. It looks like they wanted him back because he was already the designated patsy in the upcoming JFK assassination. But, if he paid them back, that cleans it up some; hence, my suspicions.

But still, if he was a spy in the USSR, they would have owed him a lot of money, and he was never paid. So, I say that whatever connection he had to the CIA was informal. He definitely was not their employee, since he wasn't paid. He definitely was not an intelligence agent, but you might call him an intelligence groupie.

And the fact is that he didn't do any spying in the Soviet Union. He worked his job at the radio factory in Minsk. And when he wasn't working, he was socializing, chasing girls, etc. There are claims that he took photographs of some buildings with his Minox camera, but I just put that to Chat GPT and got this: "There is no verified evidence in declassified files confirming that Oswald used a subminiature Minox camera to photograph Russian buildings or conduct intelligence activity of any sort."

I think all the stories about Oswald spying in Russia are false.

So, what is the bottom line on why Oswald went to Russia and why the CIA wanted him to? It wasn't to spy. It was just to see how the Soviet government would respond to it. And maybe they had real spies there at the time, and maybe they thought that having a publicly disclosed defector would distract the Soviets and keep them busy. There is no evidence that Oswald had any espionage assignments when he was in the Soviet Union. And there is no evidence that he did any espionage when he was there.

It's all very murky. They could not have had any plans of using him as the patsy in the upcoming JFK assassination because it was 1959, and JFK did not formally declare his candidacy until January 1960, which was months after Oswald arrived in Russia.

So, I am not saying they had any plans of killing JFK then. But, maybe they had plans to use Oswald as a patsy for something in the future, that he would be a saved-up asset that could be expended at will.

We're talking about the CIA here, and it has always been a sick, twisted organization. I am currently reading The CIA as Organized Crime by Douglas Valentine, which I highly recommend.

But, the bottom line is that Oswald was an intelligence groupie but not an intelligence agent, and he did no spying in the USSR.

 The whole book distributing business at the TSBD was just a front, as the TSBD was a CIA front company. If you haven't read The Spider's Web: the TSBD and the Dallas Plot by William Weston, you should.

Let's look specifically at how they operated. Remember that they did not sell books to consumers. It was a wholesale operation, selling books to schools for classes. But, there is no evidence whatsoever they were wholesaling books. You know what wholesale means, which is buying in bulk or in volume.

What we know is that fulfillment at the TSBD involved "order-fillers" (including Oswald) going through the stacks of boxes of books to fulfill orders. There is no evidence that boxes were being sold.

Order-fillers were given invoices which had the titles they were to gather. And they were given a clipboard, although I don't know why they needed one. They were not given carts or wagons. And we don't see any carts or wagons. We see boxes of books with mostly illegible writing. Occasionally, you can make out a few words, such as Mathematics. Boxes of books are heavy, and it's hard to imagine skinny guy slike Oswald and Bonnie Ray Williams just carrying them by hand. Don't you think that if they were doing that, that it would have been established? We have been led to believe that what they were handling were units of books, and a number that could easily handled by hand. And they took the books down to the guy who did the shipping on the 1st floor: Troy West.

Now, there were quite a few order-fillers. Oswald, Frazier, Jaman, Norman, Williams- they were all order-fillers, and there were more. The only one we have ever heard about who did the shipping is Troy. But, he didn't call himself the shipper. He called himself the mailer. And the way he mailed things was to wrap them in brown paper using a Pitney Bowes wrapping machine.

But,, you wouldn't wrap a big box of books in brown paper. And those boxes presumably were shipped to the TSBD without being wrapped in brown paper. So, why would they have to be shipped out in brown paper?

But, what Troy West revealed to his questioner David Belin (who is the guy who, when asked, said that what Oswald was doing at 10th and Patton was going to Mexico. Ole'!) was that he didn't even work in the building. Troy West, the face of shipping at the TSBD, said that he didn't even work in the building.

Don't take my word for it. Read it yourself. So, Belin was trying to determine where exactly in the building Troy worked.

Mr. BELIN - Well I have a first floor map here of the Texas School Book Depository. Here is Elm Street and here is the front entrance. Here is Mr. Truly's office, and Here is Mr. Shelley's office. There is the stairway down to the basement, and there are the elevators and the back stairway. There are the toilets there. About where would you wrap mail there?
Mr. WEST - Well, my place was in the west side of the other building.

Now, you would think that when Belin heard that, that he would have stopped and said, "You mean, you didn't even work in this building?" But, Belin didn't do that. He just ignored and kept going.

Mr. BELIN - Was it near the stairway?
Mr. WEST - No; it wasn't close to the stairway.
Mr. BELIN - Was it closer to the Elm Street side of the building?
Mr. WEST - No, sir.
Mr. BELIN - What was it close to? The west side is the side near the railroad tracks and the triple underpass. Is that what you think is the west side?

You see what I mean? So, Troy West didn't work in that building. Thern, who did the shipping in that building? We don't know. And again, no one would wrap a big box of books in brown paper. There would be no need to because the heavy cardboard box was sufficient to endure the rigors of shipping. Putting brown paper over it wasn't going to be helpful, and it wasn't necessary.

We know that the "order-fillers" worked all morning. So, if they were bringing stock down to be shipped, why was there no stack of parcels ready to go out the door?

And who would run a business that way, with boxes of books stacked as high as 9 high? I wonder how that was accomplished because we don't see any fork-lifts, and there no ladders. What if you needed books that were in that 9th box on top? How would you get to it? And look at that mess on the 6th floor. Look at all the open boxes. Were they really supplying schools? And considering it was a very old warehouse, what about vermin and cockroaches? Wouldn't they keep the boxes sealed up? How come we never saw any stock that was readu to go out the door? Who was their shipper? We don't know. All we know about is Troy West, who called himself the mailer. You can't tell me they used the Post Office to ship boxes of books to schools. And Troy West didn't even work in that building. What he did, in whatever building he worked, was wrap small parcels in brown paper, so that they could be mailed. You don't ship books to schools that way.

The TSBD had 33 employees, not counting the higher-ups. Do you think one guy, Troy West, could wraps and mail enough parcels every day that the profit generated could pay the salares of all those people, plus that of the executives, plus all the other expeneses. How much did it cost to heat that building in the winter and cool it in the summer?

I stated in my last post that John Armstrong believes Oswald was driven to the theater, and I agree with him. John says it's because Oswald could not have walked to the theater and gotten there as early as he did. For me, that's true, but it's not the only reason.

I tell you that Oswald was being tracked and monitored the whole time. They never lost sight of him. Oswald was being controlled by his handlers. And they were not going to let him walk 1.1 miles in broad daylight. Consider how easy it would have been for people to have seen him and remembered him and reported it. Obviously, he couldn't be walking down Beckley Street towards Jefferson and be at 10th and Patton at the same time.

Remember also that city walking isn't like walking around a track. On the street, you have corners and traffic lights. And if there is no traffic light, you still have to wait until traffic clears. You can't just walk non-stop without being interrupted. It was 1.1 miles from his boarding room to the theater. A brisk walking pace is 15 minutes per mile. But, because of what I just said, it might take 20 minutes to walk a mile in the city. So, Oswald could never have reached the theater as early as he did.

The official story has it that the Oswald of fame snuck into the theater, and that makes no sense. He hadn't shot anyone. And if you don't agree with that, you shouldn't be here because you are not welcome here. I only want to interact with people who know he was innocent. There are plenty of other JFK groups, so LNs: go to them.

But, when you remove Oswald having committed two murders from the picture, it makes no sense for him to sneak in. He had $14 and change in his pocket, and a ticket cost less than a dollar. Plus, with everything going on, and him being worried (because he had lived in the Soviet Union and married a Soviet woman) what would drive him to sneak in? And you mustn't assume that he had ever been there before. There is no basis to claim that he was a movie buff. So, he's walking to the theater entrance, and he passes a door and thinks, "Maybe I can sneak in here and avoid paying"? You think that that would have been on his mind at a time like that?

My father was a policeman his whole adult life, and he used to joke to us, his sons: "If you're going to steal something, make it something big and valuable because it's just as criminal to steal something small and trivial. It's just not worth it if it's some piddly thing." And you can't say Oswald was concerned about being recognized by the ticket person because Oswald hadn't done anything. He had committed no crime. So, if you believe that, you have no reason to think that he snuck in.

One guy tried to make a big deal out of the fact that Johnny Brewer said that the guy who snuck in wore a "brown sport shirt". First, I can't see calling Oswald's arrest shirt a sport shirt. There was nothing sporty about it. And Brewer also said that it was mostly buttoned up, and Oswald's arrest shirt had almost all its buttons missing. There were just one or two left at the bottom. So, citing that is weak, and it is not bankable.

The fact is that it would have been very risky for the plotters if Oswald had walked 1.1 miles to the theater in broad daylight. Someone easily could have seen him and remembered him. So, they were not going to let him do that. They were calling the shots, and they must have arranged the ride for him.

And if Oswald had said that he walked to the theater, why not report it? But, they didn't report it, nor did they report anything he said about it. Nor did the Warren Commission ask any witness what Oswald said about it. Nor did the HSCA. Nor did the ARRB. It has been systematically dodged since Day 1.

Then, we have Earlene Roberts saying that a police car showed up at the boarding house and tapped its horn twice. And that is all we have. There is no basis to claim Oswald took a bus or cab to the theater. I have already explained why him walking there is untenable. I consider the police car being Oswald's transporation to the theater to be a strong contention, whether it was Tippit or Westbrook of someone else.

 Do you realize that Dallas Police never told us what Oswald said about what he did when he left his boarding room? They told us what he said about how he got to his room, but nothing after that. They must have asked him why he went to the theater, and he must have told them something, but they never told us. He must have told them how he got to the theater, and what time he got there, but they never told us. It's just a big void in the police record.

And then, when Fritz, Bookhout, and Hosty were questioned by the Warren Commission, they were never asked what Oswald said about those things. Are you OK with that? Because: I am not OK with it. I smell a rat. I think that whatever Oswald told them must have been VERY exonerating.

First, let's consider what my friend John Armstrong says about it. He says that Oswald was driven to the theater. He says that because he talked to Butch Burroughs, the Popcorn Man, and he told John that Oswald was in the theater by 1:07. Oswald could not possibly have walked there in that amount of time. And John points out that if Oswald had walked that 1.1 miles from his boarding house to the theater, it's likely that somebody would have saw him and reported it to the Police.

So, who could have driven Oswald to the theater? John thinks it was the cop who pulled up and tapped his horn a couple times outside the boarding house, and that was according to his landlady, Earlene Roberts. And that cop may have been Tippit. And if it wasn't Tippit, maybe it was Captain Westbrook, whom John suspects was involved in the Tippit murder. The fact is: we don't have anyone else to go to but these guys. Oswald had no friends. No friends, no friends, no friends, no friends, no friends, no friends, no friends. We can't make one up. It most likely was that cop who went to Oswald's boarding house.

Now obviously, if a cop- any cop- drove Oswald to the theater, the entire lone gunman thesis is destroyed. It means that individuals within the Dallas Police Department were involved in the plot to kill Kennedy and frame Oswald. And it explains why law enforcement dodged this whole subject.

And it makes it absolutely certain that Oswald did not shoot Tippit. If he was driven from his boarding room to the theater, then he wasn't at 10th and Patton at 1:15.

And nobody has ever provided a reason why Oswald would have been at 10th and Patton. WC Attorney David Belin was asked where Oswald was going when he was at 10th and Patton, and he said, "Mexico." The arrogance and hubris of that is amazing. Belin just pulled it from out his ass and plopped it down. That's the kind of people who comprised the Warren Commission. There is 4-letter word for them: EVIL.

This is a graphic from John Armstrong's website. At that time, there was a walkway between two of the buildings, and behind the buildings was an alley. John believes that the cop drove into the alley and let Oswald out of the police car there. Then, Oswald used the walkway between the buildings to reach Jefferson Blvd. Then, he turned right and went to the theater entrance.

This graphic from John's website I made for him. He told me waht he wanted, and I made it for him.

I don't consider myself the most knowledgable person about the Tippit shooting, but I do know that Oswald didn't kill him, and Oswald wasn't there. Oswald was never at 10th and Patton, and he had no reason to go there. Oswald was definitely in the theater when Tippit was shot. Whatever Oswald told Police about how he got from his boarding room to the theater must have completely vindicated him.
