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

The official story of the JFK assassination is like a screenplay, and every screenplay is loaded with incongruities and implausibilities, and many go unnoticed. For example, in my movie, My Stretch of Texas Ground, I was worried that viewers would notice that when Abdul Latif Hassan tricks the female reporter at the Capitol, Clarisse Jenkins, into thinking that he works for the same newspaper that she does, he finagles her to go with him to his car, where he, rather gently, knocks her out, so that he can get away. He mimics a real technique: the 3 pressure point knockout. My concern was that viewers would stop and think about the fact that he was leaving her unconscious in his own car, which means that police and FBI would have his car afterwards, which they could trace to wherever he bought it or rented it, and surely they would get information on him. And by rights, the FBI agent who reported on it to his superiors should have said something about Hassan's car and what they learned from it. 

So, I was worried that someone would notice that and say something like, "Hey! That's his car!" But, no one did. No one said anything to me. And it may be that it didn't register with anyone. 

But, there is lots of stuff like that in movies. So, let's look at the incongruities and implausibilities of the JFK assassionation.

First, the story goes that Oswald learned of the motorcade route from the newspaper, presumably a day or two before. He did have the habit of reading the newspaper at work on his lunch break. But, that's it. There is no evidence that he ever bought the newspaper, and there is no evidence that he watched the news on tv. He didn't own a tv. And even though there was a tv at the boarding house for all the residents, there is no basis to assume that he watched it with them. That's a very social thing to do, and this was a very anti-social time in his life. He was keeping to himself- in spades. 

So, how likely is it that Oswald saw the motorcade route in the newspaper at work and noticed that it would be passing the building? 

First, people don't "read" the newspaper. They browse it. They read little bits here and there. The percentage of the content that they read is VERY small. There is no evidence that Oswald was focused on Kennedy at the time. And there is no reason to think he was focused on Kennedy. He was focused on his family, wanting to get them living with him again. 

We don't know that Oswald ever picked up a newspaper featuring the motorcade route. But, even if he did, the likelihood that he would have zeroed in on the motorcade route is small. 

So, that's the first implausibility. But the second one is the whole idea that he would flip-out upon seeing it. He had NOTHING against Kennedy. All the evidence that we have, and mainly from Marina, says that he liked Kennedy and respected him. And politically, Oswald was leftist, and Kennedy was left of Johnson. Ditto on Cuba. So, Oswald would have wanted to protect every hair on Kennedy's head. There is simply no basis to think that upon seeing the motorcade route that he would want to kill Kennedy.

So, that brings us to their last hope: that Oswald was just crazy; that he was psychotic. But, there's no evidence of that. He was very reclusive. He was anti-social. He wasn't hostile, but he wasn't friendly at the TSBD. He didn't take interest in people. He had no interest in them. But, that's not evidence of psychosis.

They had no evidence at all that Oswald was psychotic, and there is absolutely nothing psychotic about his behavior, his language, and his lucidity in the footage that we have of him. At the Midnight Press Conference, he was the most lucid person in the room. 

In order to make the case for his psychosis, they came up with the story that he tried to shoot General Walker. But, it is ridiculous. Everything about the police report about it conflicts with what we know about Oswald and his so-called rifle and the bullets that it had. Oswald did NOT own a rifle, and if you don't believe me, ask John Armstrong or Gil Jesus.The whole story of him owning one is a lie, and he could not have shot at Walker with no rifle. THEIR ENTIRE CASE FOR IT WAS BASED ON STUFF THEY GOT MARINA OSWALD TO SAY. And don't you know? She was the Stepford Wife of the FBI. And I mean it literally. .

So, there is no chance that Oswald shot at Walker. And remember that Oswald met Marina in Russia. They started living together before they got married. And he was very social over there. He was very engaging with her family and with their friends. And nobody from Russia said that there was anything aggressive or psychotic about him. So, if Marina was used to him that way, and then he started going on murderous outings, why would she follow him down to New Orleans to live with him? And why would she feel safe having her daughter live with him? And she didn't have to. She was already staying with Ruth Paine, and Ruth didn't want her to leave. If you marry someone, and that person becomes a maniac, you don't just keep living with him because he's your spouse. Over half the marriages wind up in divorce even without psychosis. You add psychosis to the mix, and all bets are off. You know what I mean?

So, there is no evidence and no basis to claim that Oswald was psychotic. So, why would a guy who was calmly eating his lunch at the Book Depository, and plotting to get his family back and buy new shoes for his daughter June, see JFK's name in the paper, and have the thought: "I'm going to kill him. I am just going to destroy my whole life, lose my family, and enter a monstrous new world of horror, misery and pain. And I'm going to do it even though I like President Kennedy, and he's probably the best President a leftist like me could imagine."

The story makes no sense. The screenplay gets an F. One of the things they teach you in screenwriting is to make sure your characters are properly motivated. The official story of the JFK assassination is totally implausible.
