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

 Oswald would have had to be psychotic to shoot Kennedy. He never said a bad word about Kennedy in his life. Marina said that he liked Kennedy, that he defended Kennedy to her family in Russia. When Oswald heard that Kennedy liked to read James Bond novels, he started reading them too.

The story went that, with no ominous precedents about Kennedy whatsoever, Oswald saw that his motorcade would be passing the building, and he decided, on the spot, to kill him.

Oswald was living his life. He was working there. He was spending his free time with his family in Irving. The top priority in his life was to get his family back under his roof. He also wanted to acquire a better job. And he believed that getting a driver's license would make him more employable; so he was pursuing that too.

So, that was his life. That was where his mind was at. So, why would seeing the motorcade route in the newspaper cause him to go berserk and decide to kill Kennedy? There is no reason to think that it would. If you watch the Midnight Press Conference- and you should watch the whole thing because there are a lot of partial postings of it- you'll see that Oswald comes across as the most lucid, stable, and rational person in the room. He was totally in control of himself and totally sensible.

Now, the truth is that Oswald never did see that the motorcade would be passing the building. When he saw people gathering on the sidewalk on Friday morning, he asked James Jarman why they were doing that, and Jarman told him that the President would be riding by. Appareently, Oswald did not know that prior to that. So, how could he have had any plan to kill Kennedy? He couldn't have.

And the plotters realized that Oswald had to be made to seem insane, and that his insanity couldn't just start on 11/22. And that's why they made up the story about Oswald trying to shoot Walker. Oswald did not do that. He did not order or own a rifle. It is established in the record that he never took a rifle with him to New Orleans. And that means that no rifle of his was brought back from New Orleans and stored in Ruth Paine's garage.

Witnesses said there were two culprits at the Walker shooting, and that they both drove off in separate cars. Oswald had no car, and he had no friends. So, it couldn't have been him. And the bullet that was dug out of Walker's home was not one of the 6.5 x 52 mm bullets connected to the rifle that Oswald didn't even own.

But, that isn't the only wild story they added. They also got Marina to say that Oswald informed here he was going somewhere in Dallas to kill Nixon. That was in April of '63. Nixon was not in Dallas then, but LBJ was. So, they asked her if she meant LBJ, but she said no, that she was sure it was Nixon. And she said she stopped him by locking him in the bathroom. And when it was pointed out to her that bathroom only lock from the inside, she said he held the door handle, and he couldn't overcome her great strength.

So, like the alleged Walker shotoing attempt, which was on April 10, that was also in April. I don't know the exact day. And then, Oswald moved to New Orleans on April 24. According to Ruth Paine, Marine was very sad that he was leaving. She cried. And then when he called and said he had rented an apartment for them, Marina was jumping for joy, and she went to June and said to her in Russian, "Papa loves us."

Marina would have had to be insane too. When you find out that your husband is a homicidal maniac, you don't want to follow him anywhere. You want to get away from him. You want to protect yourself and your daughter. You don't follow him down to New Orleans after he does those things.

So what the authorities were telling us was that both Oswald and Marina were insane.

But, neither one of them was insane. It was just storytelling by bad storytellers. And I know about storytelling. I've written 8 movies.

Now, listen to me: The U.S. government killed Kennedy, and they killed Tippit and Oswald too. But, it was a transitional thing. It started as just a cabal, a secret network within the U.S. government, that did it. But, as soon as JFK took his last breath and LBJ became President, at that instant the entire U.S. federal government got behind the official lone nut story. You might as well say every federal employee, politician, diplomat, military personnel, etc. got behind it. And if anyone didn't believe it, they kept it to themselves. From that moment on, it was like a tsunami of pressure to go along with the story.. And it wasn't much different for those in state governments. And of course, the mainstream media supported it. The tsumami covered everything and everyone. Acceptance of the official story beame a litmus death for loyalty, patriotism, and love of country. The tsumani was so powerful, even Robert Kennedy didn't try to resist it.

So, it went from being a secret operation to a government decree that put everyone on the spot to either accept it or be an outcast. So, everyone accepted it, even though the non-seguitors existed, such as the complete lack of credibility of a rifle going to and from New Orleans. It was a roadblock then, as it is now, and people have ignored it all along. The pressure has persisted, and that's why it takes courage to do what we're doing.
