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

The official story has it that Jack Ruby snuck down the Main Street ramp while Officer Roy Vaughan was busy helping Lt. Rio "Sam" Pierce exit his squad car onto Main Street. 

Keep in mind that Main Street was a one-way street, and it was a Sunday morning, so most all the business traffic was gone. In fact, there were probably more businesses closed than usual that Sunday morning because of Kennedy's death. 

Also note that it was never claimed that Vaughan had to stop any traffic to facilitate Pierce's exit. So, it sounds like all Vaughan had to do was glance in the direction from which traffic was coming, to see that the coast was clear. 

So, how long does it take to do that? How long would Vaughan have had to divert his eyes from the ramp? I figure 2 seconds. 

And let's consider that that task is not particularly challenging mentally, and there is no reason to think that Vaughan forgot what he was doing and where his focus was. 

And let's consider also that Ruby said that he was not the least bit evasive. He wasn't try to do something in defiance of the Dallas Police. He never would. He loved the Dallas Police. He hero-worshiped the Dallas Police. It was a bizarre and extreme degree of devotion that he had for them. And he was specifically asked if he hurried when he went down the ramp, and he said no, that he walked at a normal pace. 

So, even if you think Vaughan did take his eyes off the ramp for 2 seconds to check on traffic for Pierce, he still would have seen Ruby when he turned back around.

Then, consider that Pierce and the other two officers in the squad car with him didn't see Ruby (and why they weren't reprimanded as Vaughan was I'll never know). 

Others before me have noted the ridiculousness of all this, and their solution was to conclude that Ruby wasn't there at all, that he got in another way, and it involved someone at the DPD opening a door for him. 

But, that is even more ridiculous. There could be no conspiracy between Oswald and the Dallas Police. The Dallas Police were accusing Ruby of murder, charging him with it, testifying against him in court, and in a case that was going to send him to the electric chair. How could they possibly be collaborating with Ruby at the same time? And how could they trust Ruby to keep his mouth shut? They couldn't. They wouldn't. They didn't. If Ruby had anything on them, like the knowledge that they conspired with him to kill Oswald, they would have had to kill and right away. Ruby was allowed to live for three years precisely because he didn't know anything. He didn't have anything on anybody. He even got funny about it. "Nobody knew anything; not even me."  

Look how fast they killed Oswald. (Of course, I mean that Ruby didn't do it.)  And it's because Oswald knew plenty. First, he knew that he didn't do anything; that he didn't kill anybody. Second, he knew that he didn't mail-order any rifle from Chicago. Third, he knew that he didn't pose for any photos holding a rifle which he didn't own. Fourth, he knew that he didn't build any bag out of brown paper and tape. Fifth, he knew that he was standing in the doorway during the shooting. And the list goes on and on. And that's why they had to kill him pronto.

So, you should take the fact that Ruby was allowed to live for 3 years as evidence that he didn't know anything; that he didn't collude with anybody; that he wasn't a danger to anybody; that he had no revelations to make. 

And what about that bloviating Ruby did to reporters about Johnson being behind it? He read a stinkin' book! That's all. A Texan Looks At Lyndon, by J. Evetts Haley. I read it myself. It's just the official story with a coating of "Johnson put Oswald up to it."

Oswald. What a character. He spends 3 years working at radio factory in Russia; then comes back here and cycles through odd jobs at the lowest possible pay, but somehow, thru it all, he's hobnobbing with gangsters in New Orleans and the Vice President of the United States- according to some people. He's not only a gun for hire, but he does it gratis; he works for free. The people who suggest that Oswald shot Kennedy for the Mob never bother to explain why he would do that, when he didn't dislike Kennedy, and there is no evidence that he was paid. And yet, that was the official conclusion of the House Select Committee. 

Ruby knew nothing and nobody. He did not know Oswald. He did not know LBJ. He knew nothing about the JFK assassination. And he knew nothing about the Oswald assassination either. He didn't even have the mental wherewithal to realize that he was set up. The whole, entire basis for him thinking he shot Oswald was that the Dallas Police told him that he did. That's it! He let their claim invalidate his own experience, cognition, recollection and awareness.  And that is incredible because most people would never do that. They would never void and vacate their own cognitive content for someone else's, and especially not when it involves murder. Ruby was being drugged by the government during the trial in which they were seeking to put him to death. Don't you think his lawyers should have insisted on getting him independent, outside medical care? And to treat Ruby, the government flew a doctor out from California, Dr. Louise Joylan West, the CIA's top mind control expert, known as the "Maestro of Mind Control." I am telling you: Jack Ruby was MK-UlTRA, and it was mind control that got him to accept that he shot Oswald. 

And listen to me: we have images of Ruby on 11/24/63 in which he looks stoned. We have footage of him being led around in which he isn't saying anything. Then are reports of him mumbling incoherently. So, how could the things that the Dallas Police said he said be true? I mean the trash talk, like: "I hope the son of a bitch dies." Look into the eyes of this guy. Does he look like someone who was talking like that? They lied. The Dallas Police lied. And, with the help of the FBI, they killed Oswald. It was a joint FBI/Dallas PD operation. And for what they did to Oswald and Jack Ruby, I curse those monsters for eternity.
