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

Linda and I finished watching the Netflix series, Orange is the New Black, which is about life in a Women's prison. It's based on the real-life memoir of Piper Kerman, although in the show she is known as Piper Chapman. 

Life in this prison is depicted as harshly as in the documentaries that have been made about women's prisons.  And as in the documentaries, life revolved around gangs organized by race. So, there was a white gang, a black gang, and a hispanic gang. And each gang had a leader, each of whom was a tough, strong woman. The one that impressed me the most was the leader of the hispanic gang. She was not only tough but also savvy. She quickly realized that if the whites and blacks wanted to fight it out, the best thing she could do was keep her women out of it. 

And what it came down to at season's end was the leader of the black gang beating the bejesus out of the leader of white gang. She beat her to within an inch of her life- breaking bones in her face, including her eye sockets- and she left her for dead. It's a miracle the woman survived. 

But, survive she did, and then there was a big investigation in which two special investigators were sent to the prison to determine what happened. But, the black leader who did it devised a plan in which she targeted another black woman with mental problems, and with a long history of violence, and she convinced her that she did it. She actually got her to confess- to the investigators. 

The investigators, who were two white men, fell for it hook, line, and sinker. After days of investigating, they were satisfied and sure that they had found the culprit: the crazy woman.   

But, all the women in the prison knew who really did it, and they refused to tolerate that outcome. They clamored to the investigators as they were leaving that "Vee" (the black leader) was the real culprit. And that included the white women, the hispanic women, and also the black women, who revolted against Vee. It was a sudden reversal in which they turned against her. 

But, with all those women clamoring, the two male investigators refused to budge. They had found their culprit, the crazy woman, and they were not going to reconsider. What finally changed their minds was that a white male prison counselor produced a work ledger which showed that the crazy woman was working at a different location, far from the site of the crime, at the time of the crime. So, it could not possibly have been her. Thank God. It was very tense. Good drama. 

And Vee finally got what was coming to her. You might say there was justice at the end. But, the reason I brought this up is because of the behavior of the two investigators. First, they completely fell for the phony trail and phony evidence that Vee had concocted to point to the other woman, including the other woman's confession. And second, once they made up their minds, it was etched in stone. They were implacable, inflexible, and unmovable. 

And the reason for it was portrayed on the show. It was because they were tired, and they wanted to go home. They had been at it non-stop for several days. They were exhausted. They had pressing family concerns. Their minds were made up, and they were done.

And as I watched it, I thought about the parallels to the JFK assassination. There, the phony story with the phony evidence was that Oswald did it. The difference was that Oswald never confessed; he adamantly denied doing it. In fact, Oswald used the word "adamant." He said: "I adamantly deny these charges."  

Another difference was that in the JFK assassination, some of the investigators were directly involved in the crime and knowingly covered it up. A good example of that is Allen Dulles. John Armstrong pointed out to me recently that Allen Dulles attended more WC hearings than any other commissioner, and by far. 
Dulles really was the leader of it, the top dog, the guy in charge, not Earl Warren, who was just a figurehead. 

And John pointed out, in particular, some testimony of Marguerite Oswald (who was really the Marguerite impostor) in which she fumbled some information about her activities in 1956, and it was Dulles who straightened her out and told her what she did that year. 

"When the short, dumpy, heavy-set Marguerite Oswald impostor became confused during WC testimony about the date she moved from New Orleans to Ft. Worth, it was Allen Dulles who said, "I think you moved to Fort Worth with LEE in September." 

John is convinced that Allen Dulles knew all about the Two Oswalds and the Two Marguerites, and managing the witness testimonies to suppress the truth about it fell largely on him.

So, the JFK assassination investigation involved investigators not only being lazy and sloppy and hasty and stupid, but also directly complicit in consciously misconstruing the facts and framing Oswald. And another name I'll cite of someone who did that was WC Attorney Joseph Ball. 

So, when we speak of Dulles and Ball and Gerald Ford, who changed the location of the back wound, we're talking about criminals who lied and obstructed justice. And that appellation certainly applies to J. Edgar Hoover as well.     

However, I don't believe they would have been able to get away with it unless there was an army of people below them who went along with their machinations simply because of all the political pressure being exerted on everyone to adopt the official story that Oswald did it and make it their own. 

Accepting the official story of the JFK assassination became a litmus test for patriotism to the United States and loyalty to the US government. And that burden fell on EVERYBODY. If you worked for the government in any capacity, it instantly became part of your job description to accept that story. It was like treason if you didn't. 

And if you worked for the media, it became the litmus test of responsible journalism for you to accept that story. 

The official story of the JFK assassination was like a tsunami that was overrunning everybody. Who is going to stand up and fight a tsunami? 

And the strength and power of this tsunami was so great, that even on a psychological level, few people challenged it. The official story became the reality because of the power of officialdom. It's a power that seeps deep into the mind and controls the mind, preventing it from realizing that it is just acquiescing to evil forces. Everything gets buried. Everything gets rationalized. And life goes on under the new paradigm.  And ultimately, self-interest dictated to a lot of people that they had better go along with it. 

But, there was also a lot of denial involved: self-denial; the refusal to recognize what you were doing and why you were doing it.  

So, it went way beyond just running out of time and energy and patience, as in the prison story. Nobody was pressuring those prison investigators to make the wrong decision; they were pressuring themselves to do it. But, in the JFK assassination, the outside pressures, the systemic pressures, were so great, that the truth didn't have a chance. It was off the table. 

And it's still the same way today with the pressure. Today, whenever the mainstream media conducts a poll about the JFK assassination, they ask the public if they think Oswald acted alone or if others were involved with him.  That's in spite of the fact that the overwhelming majority of JFK conspiracy researchers advocate Oswald innocence. 

The idea of Oswald being guilty within a conspiracy is really just another government idea. Another government body, the HSCA, came up with it. It was the government's backup plan; their Plan B. 

When you think about the great JFK conspiracy authors, like Weisberg, Lane, Douglass, Twyman,  Livingstone, Armstrong, Marrs- they all have advocated Oswald innocence, not Oswald guilt within a conspiracy. These polls are just more mind control from the same people who have been trying to control our minds since November 22, 1963.
