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

 The Dallas Police killing of Oswald and framing of Jack Ruby (and even convincing him that he did it) was probably the most successful psy-op of all time. For 50 years, half a century, nobody doubted that Ruby did it. Nobody.

That’s amazing. After all, there were people who immediately doubted that Oswald did it. Vincent Salandria was one of them, and he told me so.

So, how were people universally bamboozled into believing that Ruby did it?

Well, Oswald defiantly, on camera, denied that he did it. Ruby wasn’t doing that. He didn’t make any public statements right away, but within hours, his lawyer Tom Howard confirmed that Ruby did it. Did you know that Tom Howard lived and practiced law in Houston, not Dallas? Did you know that he was at the Midnight Press Conference on Friday night and was seen talking to  Will Fritz? And then, he just happened to be there at City Hall on Sunday morning too? Did you know that Ruby never asked for Howard, that they just told him that his lawyer was there? Did you know that Howard wasn’t currently Ruby’s lawyer? Ruby had used him for some legal work years before, but he wasn’t currently Ruby’s lawyer. But, Ruby went along with it because he went along with everything. He did what he was told. He was extremely submissive, complaint, and obedient to authority.

When they told him on Sunday that they needed to perform a rectal exam on him to make sure he wasn’t hiding a gun in his rectum, he submitted to that too.  Of course, they didn’t do that to Oswald. He too brandished a pistol too, but they didn’t think it was necessary to examine his rectum. What if they had? I have a hunch Oswald would have objected and refused. But, Oswald was Oswald, and Ruby was Ruby.  

But, let’s get back to the public because they’re the ones who bought the story, hook, line, and sinker, that Ruby did it. So, why did they buy it?  I mentioned that Ruby didn’t deny it. And in a very gross way, there was some likeness between the Shooter and Ruby. For instance, they were both middled-aged white men who were hovering around 50. Ruby was several inches taller than the Shooter, but I guess that wasn’t enough to register as a difference to the public. The Shooter’s face was never captured in the basement in any film or photo. And other differences, such as different hair and different length neck, didn’t register either. But, let’s remember that the Shooter was only seen for a few fleeting seconds, and people didn’t get that good a look at him. So, when Ruby was brought out and paraded around in handcuffs, there was no way to compare, except by memory. There were no images to put side by side. An image of Ruby and the Shooter were NEVER put side by side. Maxim Irkutsk was the first to do it- in 2013.

The newspapers did publish the “iconic” photos right away (Beers and Jackson). A close inspection and comparison of those photos to Ruby would have revealed that they were different men. But, people didn’t make a close inspection and comparison.  They had a mental weight on them, which was government and media telling them, over and over, emphatically and absolutely, that Ruby was the Shooter.  That shut down the peoples’ critical faculties.

But, the plotters knew that some people would eventually challenge the official story, so they led them to think that Ruby not only killed Oswald but was involved in killing Kennedy too. They made Ruby out to be a Mafioso, a pimp, a hitman, a gun runner, and a guy who liked to throw people down the stairs, including women. All of it was psy-op. It was all Pavlovian dog conditioning. So, there was a witness who said that Ruby was in the theater behind Oswald. There is no chance that it’s true. There was a witness who said that Ruby was at Parkland Hospital. There is no chance that it’s true. They spread the story that Ruby was stalking Oswald on Friday afternoon at the PD, and they used an image of him from late Friday night when he WAS at the PD, to sell it. But, Ruby was NOT there at the PD on Friday afternoon.  They lied about that.

Apparently, they had a Ruby double delivering weapons to Dealey Plaza on Friday morning before the assassination, whom Julie Ann Mercer saw, but he definitely wasn’t Ruby. The real Ruby was in the Dallas Morning News building at the time tending to his ads. And over time, they came up with all kinds of Ruby sightings that were false and malicious.  

So, the official story was that Ruby shot Oswald as a lone gunman with no conspirators, and the alternative story became that the Mafia put Ruby up to doing it, at the threat of killing him or his sister if he didn’t. The interesting thing is that there isn’t a speck of evidence that any such meeting took place. There is absolutely nothing known about it; not who was present; not where it took place; not when it took place; nor how it was arranged. Nada, zilch, zero. Nothing. And yet, people talk about it as if it’s factual.

The bottom line is that people were incapable of conceiving that the authorities could lie to them about this. And they were also incapable of suspecting the Dallas Police of committing murder. It’s a mental condition that I call “Americana” which is the belief that things as bad as that don’t happen in America. They happen In Red China and Soviet Russia; but, they don’t happen in the USA.

Ruby was certainly afflicted with that, and so were his lawyers, and so were his family. So was everybody. So, since the Police were beyond suspicion, and since the public saw a man do it who looked crudely, marginally, and minimally like Ruby, and since Ruby, himself, wasn’t denying that he did it, there was nowhere for the public mind to go but to accept that Ruby did it. I was tempted to say that they “concluded” that he did it, but that isn’t the right word because when you conclude something, you actually ponder it and examine it. You start from a mental place of not knowing, and you try to figure It out and reach a conclusion. But, that is not what happened. It was instantaneous. It was automatic. It was without thought. It was more like the way a young child absorbs a language, where he or she just soaks it up without resistance.

And there was no one else to go to but Ruby. They saw someone do it. Then, they were shown Ruby in handcuffs, and he wasn’t denying that he did it.  So, why doubt it?

But, let’s consider what Ruby did deny. He denied that he had any motive to do it. He said he was not raging against Oswald that weekend. He denied having any thought or premonition to shoot him. He denied having any memory of shooting him.  He denied that he sent the money wire at 11:17. He said he sent it at 10:17. And yes, I know about the paperwork, but it’s easy to replace paperwork. And they confiscated his clothes and his paperwork immediately. Ruby said he felt no anger, that the word “anger” wasn’t in his vocabulary, that what he was feeling that weekend was great remorse for Kennedy.

And the motive that was released, that he did it to spare Jackie a trip to Dallas, was invented by his lawyer Tom Howard.  

The most amazing thing about this to me is that not only did no one question that Ruby did it, but the rabble-rousers who wanted to dispute the story did so by casting him as being even more criminal. So, there was a spectrum from innocence to guilt, and the rabble-rousers disputed the story by saying Ruby wasn’t just guilty; but super-guilty.  They piled on more bad acts to his resume. I’m sure the puppet-masters could not have been more pleased.

But, I admit that the truth is frightening, that Oswald was killed by law enforcement, and Jack Ruby was framed by them.  The magnitude of the evil involved would be hard to exceed. It was the same weekend that Kennedy and Tippit were killed by law enforcement.  What a monstrous weekend it was.

Since the State, which arrested Oswald and charged him, actually killed Kennedy, they had to be the ones to kill Oswald. They needed to- and before he talked to a lawyer.
