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

I can prove that Oswald NEVER said anything to police about all those things that Richard Hooke is claiming. And the proof is: the very fact that they let him speak at the Midnight Press Conference.

Imagine if behind closed doors, Oswald was telling police that he was on the hit team, that he was working with Malcolm Wallace, Ruth Ann Martinez, Loy Factor, Frank Sturgis and others, and that he was really an FBI agent who had infiltrated the plot, that his hope was to save Kennedy and stop the execution. Of course, he didn't succeed at that, and he feels bad about it; but, in his own way, he was trying to prevent the debacle. 

Well, if he had told them that then they NEVER would have let him go up in front of mics to speak to the world press. Because: what if he said such things then? How were they going to get that genie back in the bottle? The lone nut story would have been fatally crippled. The very fact that he knew those people and could cite their names would have given credence to what he was saying. The credibility of the official story would have been permanently torpedoed. 

No, no, no. The fact that after hours of interrogating him, they were willing to give him unfettered access to the world press tells you that they had no fear that Oswald would say anything crippling to the official story.

Look at the cops next to Oswald at the Midnight Press Conference. Do they look worried? Does it look like they are hanging on his every word? Trembling that he would say the same thing to reporters that he said to them? No! They look relaxed. They look like they knew exactly what he was going to say, which was the same thing he said to them, which is that he knew nothing.

And think about what Oswald said at the Midnight Press Conference. One of the first things out of his mouth was:

"Nobody has told me anything."

Now, who says a thing like that? Certainly not a person who knows everything. If he knew everything about the assassination, he'd have no concern about being told a thing. It's only a person who doesn't know anything who wishes to be informed. Then, he said:

"I know I am accused of killing a policeman. I know nothing more than that." 

Who says that? That he knows nothing more than that? That his being accused of killing a policeman is the ONLY thing he knows? According to Hooke, he knew everything and anything about the assassination, so it was a bold-faced lie. 

But, his speech was voice-analyzed for truthfulness, and he passed. All the indications are that he was being perfectly truthful there. 

And how good a judge of character are you? Does he sound sincere to you there? Or, does it sound to you like he was hiding a deep, dark secret of immense proportions?

I say that Oswald's statements and his whole demeanor at the Midnight Press Conference were truthful AND THE VERY FACT THAT THEY LET HIM SPEAK THERE is proof that he didn't know a darn thing about the assassination.
