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

Although it is rarely cited, even by his defenders, Oswald did NOT own a rifle, The evidence for it is overwhelming. It starts with the fact that Oswald said he didn't own one. That was at the first interrogation on Friday afternoon. Then, on Friday night and early Saturday morning they, supposedly, tracked down the mail-order to Chicago (by him). So, why didn't they present it to him on Saturday morning and checkmate him with it? They never mentioned it to him -at all. Don't you consider that a smoking gun? You should. They didn't do it because it would have informed Oswald that he was being framed. And why should they ask him about something that was their own doing, which he knew nothing about? There was nothing they could learn about it from him. They could only lose by bringing it up, and that's why they didn't mention it. And by "they," I mean the FBI. 

But, also on Friday afternoon, when Marina was first asked if Oswald owned a rifle, she said that he used to, in Russia, but it got sold. Why would she mention that if she knew he currently owned a rifle? She wouldn't.  Of course, eventually, after being subjected to MK-ULTRA-like mind control, and being paid huge money in 1960s dollars (for the cinematic rights to her story, for Oswald's alleged "historical diary" and other things) she sang like a canary. But, when first asked, and before being influenced by anyone, she, effectively, said no, he didn't own a rifle. 

Then, there is Ruth Paine. You know she was a Quaker, a pacifist, and anti-gun. She drove Oswald to the bus station when he left for New Orleans. That story requires that he brought his rifle with him. So, it has to be assumed that Ruth Paine saw the rifle amid his luggage. But, when she narrated about this, she said nothing about seeing a rifle among his stuff.  

But, the story also requires getting the rifle back to Dallas. So, it became that even though Lee knew that Ruth Paine despised guns, that he snuck his rifle wrapped in a blanket into her station wagon when she came down to New Orleans to pick up Marina. But, he wasn't going to be there when they arrived in Dallas and unpacked the car. So, did he instruct Marina to slyly sneak it into the garage and hide it somewhere? Surely, if Ruth handled it, she would have known from its shape that it was a rifle, right? So, is that how it was? Did Lee and Marina conspire about this? What reason do you have to believe that Marina would have done that? You know that she stood up to Lee sometimes, that she didn't always kowtow to him. Why would she betray Ruth, who was taking her in, for nothing? Lee was going off somewhere. The story was that he went to Mexico City, but that's bogus. We really don't know what he did or where he went during that time, except that he didn't go to Mexico City. But, you know that Marina had no use or want for the rifle. So, why would she risk her welcome at Ruth's house by deceiving her about something that was of no value to her? Don't you think she would have told Lee to find someplace else to store it? He had an aunt and uncle there in New Orleans, didn't he? So, couldn't he have stored the rifle with them? And what about all those friends he had there? The Bannister gang? Couldn't he have left the rifle with one of them? And why would Oswald even want to trust Marina to carry out such a sinister plan? Why would he have confidence that she'd go through with it? Don't you think he would have come up with another way to store the rifle? If he valued the rifle, he would have come up with something else.  

And what about when he got back to Dallas? Remember, he was reportedly going to shooting ranges, and shooting diagonally at other people's targets. That's what we're told, but when you think about how quiet and reserved Oswald was at the TSBD, do you really think he would have behaved in such an aggressive, confrontational, and harassing manner at the shooting range? Why would you believe that? Doesn't it seem like a behavioral contradiction? But, the point is that if he was going to the shooting range, then why was his rifle still being stored in the Paine garage? How did he manage that? Remember, he had no car. Are we supposed to believe that on a Saturday morning, when he was in Irving, he made an excuse that he was going somewhere, he snuck the rifle out of the garage, he somehow traveled to the range, he did his shooting, then he went back to the Paine house, re-snuck the rifle back into the garage, and then rejoined the household with no one aware of anything? We were also told that twice Michael Paine moved the rifle, and both times, it didn't occur to him that it was a rifle. Once he thought it was "tent poles" for camping, and the next time, his best guess was "military shovel." 

This is sickening. It is disgusting. It's disgusting that they actually expect people to believe it. And I'll tell you what else it is: bad screenwriting. Remember, I am a filmmaker, and every screenwriter has to be constantly testing the credibility of his characters and the plausibility of his story. And this story isn't plausible at all.

Oswald did NOT own a rifle. And that means that he certainly did not shoot Kennedy or shoot at Walker. And it means that he didn't pose for the Backyard photos either, that what he told police was the truth, that they implanted his face over the body of another man. 

The official story of the JFK assassination is SO preposterous, it is an insult to your intelligence. That, in itself, is a reason to reject it; out of respect for your own mind.
