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

Let's look at how Oswald did at defending himself. He was in custody for 45 hours before they shot him. And I most certainly do mean "they" meaning the same people who killed Kennedy killed Oswald. Jack Ruby was just a witless patsy who didn't know up from down. Mentally, he was gone.

But not so Oswald. Oswald proclaimed his innocence 13 times on tape, where it got recorded and we can hear it to this day. And he sounded good, and I mean persuasive. And at the Midnight Press Conference, he was outstanding. He sounded like the most lucid person in the room and not at all like a double murderer. 

You know that Kyle Rittenhouse just got acquitted. But why? It was because of him; because his lawyers put him on the stand where he sounded very decent, respectful, humble, and upstanding. I watched the proceedings. He made a very good impression to the jury. There is no doubt about it. He sold himself to them, and they believed what he said. 

Well, Oswald would have been just as effective as Kyle Rittenhouse, and even though he only spoke for one minute at the MPC, he did himself a lot of good- not just in what he said but in how he said it. 

And just think: to this very day, they won't let us watch the MPC without putting this strange background noise in there. There are slamming sounds, and then you hear a man yelling "At ease" which is the final order given to a firing squad after they're finished shooting. That is score; film score. I'm a filmmaker, and I'm also a composer of film score. I composed all of the score to My Stretch of Texas Ground, and I composed some of the score to His Stretch of Texas Ground. I know film score when I hear it.

And note that the first part of his remarks, in which he complained repeatedly about not having a lawyer, are usually left out. This is one of the few links that has the whole thing.

And the whole thing was very strange. It's the one and only time in the entire history of law enforcement that a suspect was given a microphone to speak to the press and to the world. There have been plenty of high profile murder cases, but nothing comparable to this has ever happened before or since. And it's unlikely that it will ever happen again. 

So, why did they do it? Did they really want to give Oswald a voice? The excuse they gave was that the press was demanding more access to Oswald, but that is such bull shit. For goodness sake, it was the very day of the crime. And on the very day of the crime, you don't give the criminal a chance to speak to the press.  It's ridiculous, and again, it's never happened before or since. 

So, why did they do it? I have to think that they hoped it would be an opportunity to kill him, to do it that night. Ruby was there. He came to deliver sandwiches. But, maybe they couldn't get him to the right place at the right time. And I don't mean that he was conspiring with them. Ruby wasn't conspiring with anyone. But, maybe they couldn't manuever him into the room. There are NO valid images of Ruby from the Midnight Press Conference. Every one we have is bogus. 

What I think happened is that Oswald was doing so well, that somebody pulled the plug and said "abort." He was doing every bit as well as Kyle Rittenhouse, and you know what happend there.

They were under the gun. The clock was ticking. Oswald was imploring the world that he wanted a lawyer, but they couldn't give him one. Because if they gave him one, he would have Kyle Rittenhoused the lawyer, and it would have been all over for them.

Ironically, it was just a few months before that the Supreme Court ruled that indigent defendants were entiteled to a lawyer and must be provided one by the State.  It was the case of Gideon v. Wainright in 1963 that led the Supreme Court to say that the Sixth Amendment meant that you had to provide a lawyer to indigent defendants. 

So, that's why I say they were under the gun. And that's why they came up with that phony visit between Oswald and Attorney H. Louis Nichols in which Oswald supposedly turned down his offer to get him a lawyer. I don't say that Nichols was corrupt. They must have had an Oswald double there who bamboozled him.

Now I realize that when I say that, a lot of people recoil. But, I am not asking you to believe in me. I am asking you to believe in Oswald. You can hear him begging for a lawyer repeatedly, all afternoon and evening. He devoted practically his whole speech at the MPC to request someone to come forward and provide him with legal assistance. Do you really think that after that, when an offer came through, that he would turn it down? That was damage control. They had to undo the damage that he did at the MPC. It was fake, fake, fake. And I can tell you when it happened too. It was on Saturday evening. Right after they removed Oswald from his cell and took him down to the 3rd floor for another interrogation with Fritz and company, that's when they did it. That's when they got an Oswald double in the cell and brought up Nichols. 

So, Oswald did very well defending himself, and at trial in court, he would have been magnificent, and I mean better than Rittenhouse. And they knew very well that they could never let him go to trial. They knew very well that they could never even let him speak to a lawyer. They needed him dead, and right away. Every minute that ticked away just added to the pressure. Soon, it was going to be obvious to the world that they were denying him a lawyer. And then what happened? You think they just got lucky that Jack Ruby came along and saved their asses? Luck had nothing to do with it. The whole, entire purpose of the jail transfer was to kill Oswald. There was never any intention of transferring him.  And they didn't conspire with Ruby. They conspired against Ruby. They figured out a way to get Ruby there, and once he got there, they swifted him away. And then they enacted their theatric spectacle. 

The killing of Oswald by the Dallas Police and FBI was the most shrewd, cunning, Machiavellian plot in human history. There has never been anything more devious. To this day, it fools people, and I mean people who should know better.
