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

 What about the story that Ruth and Marina went into the garage with the Police and saw the empty blanket on the floor? It is complete bull shit. It could not possibly have happened. For one thing: there was no rifle, and therefore, there no rifle was ever wrapped in a blanket.

I explained that Ruth and Marina drove Oswald to the bus station when he moved to New Orleans, and neither said anything about him taking a rifle with him. The WC interrogator tried to get Ruth Paine to admit to a long, pole-like object that was 40 inches long, but she refused to do it. She was quite adamant. And the same goes for what was transported back to Irving from New Orleans.

Mr. JENNER - Was there a rifle packed in the back of the car?

Mrs. PAINE - No.

Mr. JENNER - You didn't see any kind of weapon?
Mrs. PAINE - No.
Mr. JENNER - Firearm, rifle, pistol, or otherwise?
Mrs. PAINE - No; I saw nothing of that nature.
Mr. JENNER - Did you drive them to your home?
Mrs. PAINE - Yes.

So, you don't have a rifle going to New Orleans, and you don't have one coming back from New Orleans. Therefore, there was no rifle in Ruth Paine's garage.

And, the very idea that Oswald would sneak his rifle into Ruth Paine's car and hope that it wound up in her garage is ridiculous. It is preposterous. Nobody would do that. He had friends in New Orleans, the Guy Bannister groupies. He could have left the rifle with one of them- or with Guy Bannister himself. Nobody would do what Oswald supposedly did.

It is widely acknowledged that when first asked if Oswald owned a rifle, Marina said that he used to, but it got sold. She was referring to the shotgun he owned in Russia. Months later, when testifying to the WC, she waxed on and on about him owning a rifle, but that was after she was MK-ULTRA'd by the feds. She was brainwashed, and I can just imagine how they went about doing it, telling her that she was traumatized, and that her mind was playinf tricks on her, suppressing her memory of what happened, but they were going to help her get her memories back. And lo and behold, she eventually remembered him getting a rifle, going to Mexico City, trying to shoot General Walker, etc, and all those things being completely bogus.

Before anything was done to her, when she was first asked, she said that Oswald currently owned no rifle. Period. End of sentence. And that settles it. You can't reconcile that with what followed, the wild stories she told. Those stories were planted in her by the FBI. Her brainwashing involved drugs, sex, you do realize she got emaciated during her "protective custody." Look at the collage.

Here is their attempt to pressure Ruth Paine about the rifle coming back with her from New Orleans.

Mr. JENNER - Now, was there a separate long package of any kind?
Mrs. PAINE - I do not recall such a package.
Mr. JENNER - Was there a separate package of any character wrapped in a blanket?
Mrs. PAINE - No. There was a basket such as you use for hanging your clothes. It carried exactly that, clothes and diapers, and they weren't as neat as being in suitcases and duffels would imply. There was leftovers stuffed in the corner, clothes and things, but rather open.
Mr. JENNER - So you saw no long rectangular package of any kind or character loaded in or placed in your station wagon?
Mrs. PAINE - No, it doesn't mean it wasn't there, but I saw nothing of that nature.
Mr. JENNER - You saw nothing?
Mrs. PAINE - I saw nothing.
Mr. JENNER - When you arrived in Irving, Tex., were you present when your station wagon was unpacked?
Mrs. PAINE - Marina and I did that with the exception of the duffels.
Mr. JENNER - You did it all yourself and you took out of the station wagon everything in it other than the two duffel bags?
Mrs. PAINE - Yes.
Mr. JENNER - Now, in the process of removing everything other than the two duffel bags-on the occasion on the 24th of September 1963 when you reached Irving, Tex., did you find or see any long rectangular package?
Mrs. PAINE - I recall no such package.
Mr. JENNER - Did you see any kind of a package wrapped in the blanket?
Mrs. PAINE - Not to my recollection.
Mr. JENNER - Did you see any package
Mrs. PAINE - I don't recall seeing the blanket either.

They eventually showed her the blanket, but Ruth wouldn't budge.

Mr. JENNER - And you are certain that you did not see the blanket in your station wagon when you arrived in Irving?

Mrs. PAINE - I do not recall seeing the blanket in my station wagon.

I tell you again that when Marina was first asked about Oswald owning a rifle before anything was done to her mind, she tacitly denied that he currently owned a rifle. All subsequent revisions to that have to be lies. Oswald said that he didn't own a rifle. So, he said it, and Marina said it. They both said it.

To all Americans: your government killed Kennedy. And your government is who wove all the friggin' lies about it that plague us to this day. This is what they did to Marina.
