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

I want to return to this idea of Hoover saying that Ruby said that he must have shot Oswald because he went insane, and this just 45 minutes after Oswald died. It is polar-opposite to what the Dallas detectives said. According to them, Ruby didn't say anything about being insane. They imparted him with bravado and bragging rights. And also swearing rights. They all had him calling Oswald a son of a bitch and acting cocky. Well, you can't merge cockiness with "I must have been insane." So, that's incredulity #1. 

Then, there is the claim that someone called the Dallas FBI Saturday night to say that a "committee" had been formed to kill Oswald. Why would the committee need to inform the FBI?  Why would they want to inform the FBI? And how would they even do it? How would the conversation go? It's pretty laughable when you think about it. This is Incredulity #2. 

Then, there is the claim that "we" the FBI called the Dallas Chief of Police that night to warn him, and then called him again the next morning to say the same thing. Plenty of people get reminded twice to do something, but they are usually children or pestered husbands.  In this case, unless there was new information, it seems very odd that the FBI would call the Chief of Police twice in less than 12 hours to say the exact same thing. So, that is Incredulity #3. 

Incredulity #4 is that after all that preparation and security rendering and the hard search and lock-down of the garage, that Oswald would be shot seconds after he was walked out the door. I've heard of failures before, but the magnitude of this one is off the chart. It is surreal, and it is completely non-credible. 

Incredulity #5 is his concern that it might be difficult to convince the public that Oswald was the "real" assassin. The "real" one? As opposed to what? The fake one? Why didn't he just say that it might be difficult to convince the public that Oswald was the assassin. To my mind, his including the word "real" was a Freudian slip, as in, he knew very well that Oswald was not the real assassin. This is a valid point because just prior to that, he gave a list of evidence gathered by the FBI- the strong stuff, as opposed to the weak stuff the Dallas Police came up with.  He referred to tracing the rifle back to Chicago, and the very idea that by the wee hours Saturday morning, they had completely reconstructed the journey of this rifle from a wholesaler in New York State to Klein's Sporting Goods in Chicago, is extremely far-fetched. And then when you consider the impossibility of Oswald's supposed money order reaching Klein's as fast as it did, and the impossibility of him retrieving the rifle from the post office since it was the property of A. Hidell, not Lee Harvey Oswald, and the likelihood that Oswald didn't even have a P.O. Box since he didn't need one, this adds up to Incredulity #6.  Hoover complained that the evidence that the DPD had probably wouldn't stick at trial, but what about his evidence? Oswald denied ordering or owning the rifle, and you can assume from that that he would have denied it in court, and that everything the FBI was claiming about his supposed acquisition of the rifle would have been rigorously denied and challenged and disputed in court. 

So, was Hoover just plain stupid? I guarantee you he thought the public was stupid. The whole purpose of this missive, written 45 minutes after Oswald died, was to create an ignorance alibi for himself and to exonerate the FBI. 

I am 100% convinced that Hoover was in on the killing of JFK. You have to remember how close he and LBJ were. So, if you think LBJ was involved, and practically everyone does, then you know that Hoover was involved. 

The plan from the start and all along was to kill Oswald soon after the assassination. That had to be part of the plan because NONE of the evidence against Oswald would have held up in court. He could not be permitted to go to trial.  They couldn't even let him see an attorney. The plan all along was to have one patsy (Ruby) kill the other patsy (Oswald). 

But again, and I can't stress this enough: Ruby conspired with no one. He was conspired against but never with anyone. And he didn't shoot Oswald. They never would have allowed him to do it. They knew how impaired he was mentally, and they knew that he was strung out on drugs because they strung him out on drugs. They didn't need him to kill Oswald. They needed him to take the blame; that is all. 

So, all this stuff Hoover claimed to learn within 45 minutes of Oswald's death was actually a script that was written well beforehand. 

Then, the eeriness continued with him mentioning Katzenbach. The dead President's brother was the Attorney General, so how do you not mention him? To me, this is another Freudian slip, revealing that RFK was effectively ousted, that Katzenbach became Johnson's and Hoover's point man at the Justice Department, not RFK. And remember that the FBI works under the auspices of the Justice Department. 

Hoover was totally corrupt. He didn't give a rat's ass about democracy, or, for that matter, the law. He certainly thought that he was above it. The odds are extremely great that he was involved in all 4 1960s assassinations, the 4th being Marilyn Monroe. 

Look: JFK told Hoover he was fired, while LBJ made him FBI director for life. Any questions?
