The Last Days of Lee Harvey Oswald: A Conversation with Ruth Paine

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

15:55 A really odd moment to me. The host brings up that nobody would be at the museum had Ms. Paine not helped in getting Oswald a job at the School Book Depository, almost in an applauding type way. Im not saying Ms. Paine did ANYTHING wrong, but what happened that day was a TRAGEDY, not something great that brought the audience together. The host just doesnt seem to get that. He almost seems cheerful. Idk, struck me as weird, maybe youll think so too.

Just because she's sure LeeOswald did try to kill JFK ..it doesn't mean there was also a second shooter which has been amply and forensically proven.

[@aaronpaterson1615]

if we could read her thoughts from Friday morning to Monday evening after the burials of JFK, Oswald and Tippit, about how Marina was kept from her and no longer wanted to be her friend anymore, I think we can get the gist of why Ruth Paine was so dirty on Oswald for taking 'HER' Marina away from her.

[@aaronpaterson1615]

For many years the Sixth Floor Museum was dedicated to showcasing the Warren Commission viewpoint. It's only in recent years that they began to present speakers such as Forensic scientists or medical examiners like Dr. Cyril Wecht and others of his experience to provide alternative views supported and substantiated by actual evidence. And that's a good thing to see both sides of the Coin.

[@louf7178]

Yes, they're all like that. It can only be perceived correctly with the point of view that they're a museum of reflection preserving the incident for analysis while not living in an own lingering state of sorrow. Plus conducting relaxed interviews, keeping it impartial and not offensive while preserving their own relevance. I give them credit for "navigating" the challenges and the clear familiarity of data. I wonder their opinion of conspiracy (because of the irrefuting evidence of Oswald taking shots and the overwhelming testimonies of the fence area; I do wonder about the effects of echo.)

@@bobbydazzler8684 I would just like to remind everyone.... its not the conspiracy theory, but the OFFICIAL theory, that the murder weapon RIFLE that used to kill JFK was found in to have been stored at Ms Pains home for some time , with no confirmed account of how LEE managed to bring over the Rifle to her house when he rode to her house everytime on Fridays with a coworker and never had anything except for Friday Morning "curtain Rods" package he had when showing up in the morning to meet his coworker in Irving , down the street before heading to work Friday morning. How was Ms. Paine cleared right away ? How do we know she did not conspire with LEE and supply , harbor and handle the rifle , why was her prints never checked? But by 3:00 Nov 22nd they had arrested Lees Coworker driver and tried to use police brutality to get him to sign confession until Midnight. This whole part of the investigation completely relies on circumstantial evidence that is the based COMPLETELY on the character witness of Ms. Paine , she seeks out Soviet Born Russian speakers ? how possibly could she have been cleared from being a Soviet spy agent during the cold war. Then for her to state in this interview that she was happy to hear LEE was shot and died ? Why so the public would never be able to hear 2 sides of the story that would possibly incriminate her at the very least as aiding in an assassination ? No WONDER Marina didn't want anything to do with her afterwards, How can Marina ever be sure that Ms Paine was not involved in setting up Lee or at least partnering in murder with Lee, she justifies Marina cutting off their friendship when she so easily said she it was good that Lee was shot and killed on live TV.

Lee obviously got up and left early on purpose, in order to be able to get the gun out of the garage and bring it to Frazier's. Buell never really scrutinized the package, a quick glance and when they got to work, he didn't see it much either, as he was reving his engine while Lee walked away. It was the gun, as Lee held the stock under his arm pit, with his hand grabbing the barrel. Whose holds curtain rods under an arm pit? Buell said it was 24-26 inches because he saw him at a distance and figured he was also holding the package from underneath with his right hand, as opposed to grabbing the side of it, that's how he came up with these measurements. He even admits he didn't pay much attention as he was looking at the trains that he enjoyed. It's too bad because it gave rise to needless speculation and conspiracy theories.

Very much out of place that. Then, he's so wound up he gets up early and walks to Buell's house which he never did before. Then, he carries this longish thing just like you would carry a rifle or shotgun. I mean, what was the hurry about getting the "curtain rods" from Paine's house? Like it couldn't wait until the next day to just go out to Irving as usual? When folks do things like this that are so out of the norm and so disjointed, it kind of sounds a loud alarm. And...Marina went to show them where he kept the rifle and IT WAS NOT THERE!!! No question that he did it. I think Paine said it best when she said that she surmised that Lee wanted to be a SOMEBODY and took advantage of a unique set of circumstances to bring him the mother load of notoriety!

Oh, so the first time anyone "found" incriminating evidence that Oswald took a shot at Gen. Walker was when the Secret Service showed up at Paine's door with a note written in Russian that they thought she could identify. When she did not identify it or the handwriting of it the Secret Service took license to consider this as evidence that Oswald tried to assassinate Walker. If Marina had identified it there would have been no reason to show it to Paine. Her refusal to identify it is indicative of the fact that she had never seen it before and that Marina had never told her about a "Walker incident". Could this have been a fabrication?

so what about this: It was Ruth Paine who had arranged to drive Lee Harvey Oswald’s family from New Orleans to the Dallas area. It was Ruth Paine who had timely managed Oswald to get a job in the Texas Book Depository Building which turned out to be situated on the Presidential motorcade route of November 22, 1963. It was Ruth Paine who failed to advise Oswald that a better paying job was available to him than the one to which she had arranged to get for him at the Texas Book Depository Building. It was in Ruth Paine’s garage where the rifle was supposedly stored that allegedly belonged to Oswald and was asserted to have been used by Oswald to kill Kennedy. It was in Ruth Paine’s garage in which other incriminating evidence against Oswald was reported to have been stored. It was the role of Ruth Paine and Michael Paine, both of whom purported to be committed to civil liberties, to join the authorities in designating Oswald as the assassin without his having had been offered even a suggestion of due process before he was conveniently killed while in police custody. hmmmmm what about all that? how's this woman so front' n center in all of this, just seems weird, in so many ways actually....

36:42 "I've lost it"....hey, not bad for 87! Regarding the gun, Ruth says she didn't know about it, but Marina did. That means that Marina as well as Ozzy was concealing it from her. Which makes Marina complicit, especially as she was aware of Ozzy's attempt on Walker. Ruth was just an unwitting enabler; again not complicit, but it could not have happened without her. This may be part of the reason Marina later said she thought Ruth was complicit; i.e. it was easier for her to believe the conspiracy cranks than to face reality that Ozzy acted alone, and maybe Marina felt guilt over her indirect complicity. 58:13 Ruth actually pinpoints exactly when Ozzy decided to do it: Thursday morning, the 21st. She concludes this because had he decided it earlier he would have taken his gun from his rooming house then instead of having to return there after the assassination...unless he forgot it. Actually my take is that he had it in his mind then, which is why he went to Irving that night, but it was his final argument with Marina Thursday night that put him of the edge and that's when he decided for sure. Because had he patched things up with her that night he probably would have aborted. But of course there was a historical inevitability to the event; it wasn't him in a sense it was history, and whatever infinite mysterious forces behind it. 1:01:30 Ozzy said that JFK "was the best President in his lifetime". This jibes with Bugliosi who said it wasn't personal; it was an act against the US and the highest office of the US.

Incredible set of circumstances that a simple gathering of some women leads to Oswald getting a job at the Texas School Book Depository right at the end of the motorcade on the way to the the Trade Mart.

Ruth’s family members are actually involved with CIA, so was Lee. They all help each other. It was no accident that Marina lived at her house while Ruth tried to learn the Russian language and later Spanish. Ruth never wavered from the mainstream media mind controlled narrative as to who killed our president. Kept up the mind control game by the CIA into her old age. Shows she had a closed mind to real and accurate info by many who produced the real facts as varified in their books. She certainly would have made a great Hollywood actress, where many play a convincing part. Yet it is a play never the less.

[@achterlijkeidioten]

At 2:28 she is clearly lying. When the police arrived, it was Ruth Paine who immediately made the first statement: "come on in, we were expecting you.Just as soon as we heard where it happened, we figured someone would be out". At that point the police had made no reference to Oswald being 'associated with this tragic event'. (Report made by police officers Rose, Adamcik & Stovall). Also note that Paine at the time thought, according to her own testimony, Oswald worked in a different building, not the one on Elm Street.

[@bobbydazzler8684]

So your conclusion is she was a conspirator or somehow involved? Utter nonsense. Cherrypicking a fragment from an interview given under extreme pressure is not conclusive evidence of anything. Taken as a whole, Ruth Paine's testimony, which she has given and repeated over the course of nearly 60 years, has remained consistent and one of the very few narratives that rings true. Moreover, it's her insight into the domestic life of the Oswald's that directs our attention to who Lee Harvey Oswald was and why he decided to assassinate Kennedy. It's hard for conspiracy nuts to accept but random tragic events do happen in the lives of ordinary people.

She already knew Russian and had studied the language since '57, possibly even before Oswald did. She had trouble in conversational Russian, but that's not the same thing as an inability converse. It's not like being a trained interpreter in real-time back and forth. It means a lot of circumlocution. Furthermore, when you have someone--in this case Marina herself--as a live-in de facto tutor, progress in conversation can proceed at a very quick rate.

[@jc329]

@@stuartschneiderman8517 There are a lot of underlying relationships that are obviously less than innocent. Whatever the scenerios at the time, Oswald was a pawn in the assassination of President Kennedy. The bottom line details are unknown because of the tangeled web of deceit surrounding the relationship between Oswald and the CIA. Oswald's life was filled with peculiarity, and ambiguity, so it's not clear where the truth starts and stops. In order to lay blame on him for President Kennedy's assassination, the "power's that be" had to create situations and "evidence" that would point to him. No matter what was said or done back then, the President was killed, and Oswald was set up as the one who did it, and that's the bottom line. Then, there was the Jack Ruby connection, which also had a cloud of unclear relationships between him and the CIA. Then, there's the role of then Vice President Johnson, and his connection to President Kennedy's assassination. For an outsider, looking in, the whole conspiracy was meant to confuse and keep people from knowing the truth. During the end of the interview, 1:01:20, Ms. Paine was asked about Oswald's opinion of President Kennedy. Oswald was a patsy, he didn't kill the President, OR "the office of the President".

In 1964 I was impressed with Mark Lane's Rush To Judgement which attempted to throw water on Oswald's involvement. But by the 40th anniversary in 2003 it became crystal clear to me no one but Oswald was involved. The facts that one can absolutely nail down is just three shots all from the 6th floor window and from an Italian Carcano bolt action rifle which belonged to Oswald. Since Mr. Truly was a bit skeptical about hiring Oswald, but did, and Oswald worked there and the rifle found absolutely belonged to Oswald and it's easy to prove the three shots came from that building and all the ballistic tests PROVE all fragments, spent shell casings and CE399 the magic bullet were fired by Oswald's rifle, it is just natural to assume the person who fired those shots killing Kennedy and wounding Connelly WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD!

After all, what would have been wrong for her to say she simply did not know what actually happened; instead of, as turned out to be the case, of jumping on the WC band wagon?

She admitted she didn't like LHO. She was annoyed that Lee called her and asked her if she would help find him lawyer. She thought he should have one but she was surprised that he would ask something of her at that point. She was bothered that he used her typewriter without asking.

[@scottcarroll9201]

*sigh* Alright let's take these one by one. Paine states in this interview her Russian wasn't very good and she wanted to get better. Immersing yourself in a language is the best way to learn it and being around a native speaker is a form of immersion. What incriminating evidence found in her garage are you referring to? The rifle was disassembled and wrapped in a blanket. It didn't have a note on it saying "This is a rifle. DO NOT TOUCH!" EVERY PIECE OF EVIDENCE found at the Paines was corroborated by Marina, from the rifle to the backyard photos to the Edwin Walker notes, so unless you think Marina was involved in the conspiracy your accusation is meaningless. She didn't like Oswald because she felt he was not a good husband. No grand mystery there. As for her being surprised he would ask something from her after killing the President of the United States I would think that would be a pretty normal reaction but your mileage may vary. She wasn't bothered he used the typewriter, she was bothered that he typed up a letter to the Soviet Embassy telling them the FBI wasn't interested in him when she knew damn well that they were. Again, the rifle was disassembled and wrapped in a blanket. To anyone simply scanning the contents of the garage it would look like a normal, folded blanket. Finally, she assisted Lee in getting that job because Marina asked her to. If you want to invest that event with some sort of nefarious meaning then you have to believe that Buell Frasier's sister was also part of the plot since she's the one who told Ruth about the School Book Depository.

There is a record of him cashing a check at an Irving liquor store on Thursday, Oct. 31. And she was bothered he had used her typewriter.

George de Mohrenschildte got Oswald the job at the Texas Book Depository. The friend that introduced her was actually George de Mohrenschildt, a CIA asset. Her husband, Michael Paine, found employment as a research engineer with the Bell Helicopter Company, whereas Ruth was employed as a part-time teacher of the Russian language at St. Marks School in Dallas. In 1963 Michael Paine left the family home. According to the author Jim Bishop (The Day Kennedy Was Shot), it was a "friendly estrangement". Ruth continued to live in Irving and at a party in February, 1963 she was introduced to Marina Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswald by George De Mohrenschildt. On 24th April, 1963, Marina and her daughter went to live with Ruth Paine. Lee Harvey Oswald rented a room in Dallas but stored some of his possessions in Ruth Paine’s garage. Ruth also helped Oswald to get a job at the Texas School Book Depository. Buddy Walthers took part in the search of the home of Ruth Paine. Walthers told Eric Tagg that they "found six or seven metal filing cabinets full of letters, maps, records and index cards with names of pro-Castro sympathizers." James DiEugenio has argued that this "cinches the case that the Paines were domestic surveillance agents in the Cold War against communism." Ruth Paine was a key witnesses for the Warren Commission and provided detailed information on the activities of Marina Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswaldbefore the assassination. Jim Garrison later suggested that Ruth Paine might have been involved in setting Oswald up as the "patsy". Garrison points out that Paine's father " had been employed by the Agency for International Development, regarded by many as a source of cover for the C.I.A. Her brother-in-law was employed by the same agency in the Washington, D.C. area." He also claims that he had tried to "examine the income tax returns of Ruth and Michael Paine, but I was told that they had been classified as secret.... What was so special about this particular family that made the federal government so protective of it?" Mr. Ted Schurman, advised me that Michael Paine was employed by Bell Helicopter as a research engineer and he held a security clearance. Bell Helicopter had a vested interest in the ongoing war in Vietnam where there Huey Helicopter were in service. It was in Bell's financial interest to have Kennedy eliminated because of Kennedy's plan to withdraw all US personnel by the end of 1965 (See: NSAM 263)

Not only did he not act alone and he knew this prior to the event when he stated any bullet from him would be one less bullet the president would receive.

Number three he knew way back in July what was being planned by those he was working for and working with regarding Kennedy getting snuffed, which left him no choice. Read Judith Baker Vance’s book :” Me and Lee!” Ruth Pain knew not enough details about Lee’s real hopes and plans he had for himself and Judith Baker Vance after Marina turning him down for a reconciliation the evening before the president’s assassination. The president clearly received shots from behind as well as from the front/ grassy knoll and not from way above, which would have been a weird angle for any of the injuries at the throat, in the back and right side of the head, and separate shots to Connell. 5 shots, possibly 5. No way did Lee do this. Those he worked for planned this assassination very clearly as LBJ’s mistress revealed in one of her 1990 interviews. They had Lee over the barrel since he traveled the world on their financial support. He was a low guy in that higharchie and low pay for sure but it left him with no choice but to obey and follow orders. At least he appeared to sort out his life until he could get out from under those who controlled him. Mrs Paine made up her mind being under the mainstream media mind control system. No wonder Marina backed off from a continued friendship. Ruth is still opinionated and partially mind controlled. Too bad. Lee tried to get out from under the control he had been under but at the same time appear to be obedient to his controllers.

The only wound that is consistent with bullet coming from the 6th floor is the one at the back of the armpit on John Connally, exit at the right nipple. "Absolutely not. I do not for one second believe the conclusions of the Warren Commission." John Connally

You should have had her describe her political views in the interview to put her statements in context. She was a pro-Soviet Communist. Context matters. "So many things just happened" is what liars say. These things didn't just happen. People made them happen. It's not credible that she had no idea Oswald intended to assassinate Kennedy. He had to have made anti-Kennedy statements. She had to have known he had a long-range rifle, purchased March 12, 1963. While Marina was hanging diapers to dry in the backyard one Sunday between March 12, 1963, and April 24, 1963, Oswald had Marina take his picture with the rifle he used. Politically active Paine described the trivia of his life, not his relevant statements and political views. It's telling that Paine dumped Marina when she was done with her. Her rationale is not credible; that would be a bonding experience for a friend. I recommend viewers do more fulsome research.

Oswald was in a fixed position for 30 days before he could have known what the exact motorcade route would be, and yet he was in the perfect position far in advance. Then Kennedy was brought right to him... Only a few people in Washington could have known what the exact motorcade route would be a month in advance...

Off the top of my head, I am thinking about how Robert Kennedy and Sirhan Sirhan ended up in the same place at the same time with a deadly result... Maybe most assassinations look like a conspiracy when it was just an crime of opportunity. Someone who is very troubled or offended is in the perfect position by fate alone, they see that, and they act out on their own. Inspired by the opportunity they have...

Not every oddity has to be explained to the satisfaction of every incredulous bystander. Shit. Happens. The JFK motor route was published a few days prior to Nov. 22, and maybe LHO saw it and seized his moment. Does it require more complexity than that? If you're a naturally suspicious type, then maybe it does. The Zodiac killer got away with killing Paul Stein because some SFPD dispatcher made a mistake and said the killer was black, and two SFPD officers drove by a white guy leaving the crime scene and never questioned him. Zodiac laughed at the cops in one of his later letters, saying they spoke to him and let him go.

That Oswald was not associated with any Kennedy hating Republicans or Kennedy hating Democrats. That was extremely convenient for Kennedy's enemies.

The point Ruth Paine made at 58:00 I hadn't considered before, but it does make sense. If she is right, then one of the questions I've always had is answered: When did LHO make the bag he used to conceal his rifle? Thursday if she's right, include Tuesday and Wednesday if she isn't. He couldn't plan this Assassination of Opportunity until he knew the motorcade route, and, referencing the newspaper, I think Tuesday is the earliest he could have known that. The second question I have is still a mystery: How did he managed to conceal a bag approximately six inches wide and forty inches long during his ride to Ruth Paine's home in Irving, a ride given to him that Thursday night by his coworker, Buell Wesley Fraizer? The authorities, I believe the FBI, proved the bag was made at the TSBD and made a duplicate themselves as a demonstration. Paper is noisy and folded or rolled, the bag would still have size to it. The details are important. It's just always something I've wondered.

Interesting that you have a conversation with somebody who was inexorably linked to being a part of the operation that killed John Kennedy. At 1 minute and 15 seconds into this video she's claiming that she wanted to learn the Russian language from marina. She taught the Russian language just few years before that. She was fully fluent in the Russian language. That's just one of the items that you need to know about Ruth Paine. It's amazing to see a full industry has grown up around the absolute fiction of the Warren Commission findings when the Warren Commission was commissioned precisely to determine that there was a single shooter who acted alone. And they did their job they found that a single shooter acted alone. That has nothing to do with finding the truth. They did what they were told to do. Read their commissioning documents. I can prove to you that the rifle in the backyard photograph and the rifle that Alec hydel ordered and was delivered is a different rifle than the one found in the Texas School Book Depository building which wasn't turned into the Texas School Book Depository until just a few months before the incident in November of 1963. It was set up as a cover in the first place. It was actually called the Sextant building or something to that effect. And not only did Ruth Payne and her husband work for Bell helicopter, they also had a connection to George Herbert Walker Bush who ran Zapata oil which was a CIA front for operations in the Caribbean. They were all connected to the CIA and the CIA has several years ago shown that Lee Harvey Oswald, worked for the CIA. Another interesting clue to things that have happened, is that the Executive Vice president, the number two men at Zapata oil, was John Hinckley senior the father of the man that tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan. How gullible these people are to believe these things, I'm not generally a studier of body language but watch the body language in that interview with Ruth Payne at the beginning of this video. That woman is lying to you every time she opens her mouth. She was even seen picking up Lee Harvey Oswald from the Texas School Book Depository building on the day of the assassination. And there would have been no reason for the officer who saw it happen to have lied about it. The problem about that was, Oswald was supposed to take a designated route back to his place and even Oswald was smarter than that. On top of that Oswald also could not have been the one who shot JD Tippett. JD Tippett was shot at about 1:06 and the police didn't get there till about 1:22 and yet there was a neighbor who went out after the gunshots and looked at the scene and saw that there were other police officers at the scene immediately after the shooting. Makes you wonder who shot JD Tippett. The Man Who Saw Oswald sneak into the Texas theater was at a place he could not have seen that happen. Not only that, there was a second person who was arrested at the theater a few minutes after Oswald was taken out by the police. And they never not once did they ever tie firearm that they claimed was his to Lee Oswald. The backyard photograph has been proven to be a fake just as Oswald said he was because Oswald was a photographic expert. That's the job he did in the military under the Umbrella of the naval intelligence for the CIA photos coming out of the U2 Aircraft. Furthermore a man that was in the Marines with him, Roscoe white, was placed by Naval Intelligence on the Dallas PD in October or September of 1963 and was left there long enough to make sure that witnesses that saw things they weren't supposed to see were eliminated. And that is consistent with documentation that his son found in the 1980s that he had tried to hide in his belongings. Lee Oswald never defected to the Soviet union. That is a long drawn out Affair which requires a lot of paperwork that he never even started. He was sent to the Soviet Union by Naval intelligence and the CIA. There's an awful lot about the Paines that I can go into but it's incumbent upon others to start looking into their background and how much they're connected to all of this. Ask Mrs Payne why she lives in a tiny little Bungalow in Dallas when they had 200,000 plus dollars in the bank at the time or somewhere around there. And they were constantly moving around the country usually close to where other players in this incident were. And Lee Oswald worked at the Texas School Book Depository for a $1.26 an hour I believe, about $2,600 a year and yet he had $3,000 worth of camera equipment? But she sits here in this interview even here and continues the lie that she didn't know russian. She was teaching Russian 1958 or 1959 in Pennsylvania. She was an instructor in Russian. Maybe she doesn't realize the people have already found out much of her background when she's doing this video maybe just a couple of years ago? How stupid does she think people are. Well there are still people who believe the Warren Commission report. So I guess people can still suffer either cognitive dissonance, or extreme stupidity.

O'Neill attended the autopsy of John Kennedy and submitted a report, part of which follows: "During the latter stages of the autopsy, Dr. Humes located an opening which appeared to be a bullet hole which was below the shoulders and two inches to the right of the middle of the spinal column. This opening was probed by Dr. Humes with the finger, at which time it was determined that the trajectory of the missile entering at this point had entered at a downward position of 45 to 60 degrees. Further probing determined that the distance traveled by this missile was a short distance inasmuch as the end of the opening could be felt with the finger". Sibert and O'Neill state "...a bullet hole which was below the shoulders and two inches to the right..." Again we face the same problem: where do Sibert and O'Neill start the shoulder? Oddly, they don't list a measurement indicating how far below the "shoulders" that hole was located. This testimony fails to provide a specific anatomic point of orientation. This, along with the FBI agent's ack of forensic accreditation, render their early, awkward guesses meaningless.

They reported different guns found, I believe they found more than one, reported on the news sourced from the police, they miss reported the gun, and the floor and they found the gun. A manager just had a Mauser and a rifle he just purchased on his lunch hour in the office showing it off 2 days prior, we'd, nov20. What happened to the first shot that missed and hit the curb? They never found that bullet, so did it not happen? They never found umbrella man till they looked for him in 1978? His neighbor turned him in and he did not volunteer. Did not bring the same umbrella! one of the closest people to the scene, but he saw nothing? I do not believe his story. He just went back to work, never saying a word about the assassination he just witnessed!!! Hard to believe!! they picked and choose who will be a witness even telling John Connally, who spent his life in the Navy, Kennedy's Secretary of the Navy. An avid hunter, a Texas boy so you know he had guns, was by Johnson's convincing appointed Secretary of the Navy, mistaken? He was wrong in what he felt hit his body and the sounds he heard?

@@shernitadee Your first statement is based on something neither you nor anyone else can prove; namely that there was a "coverup." Then you go on to recirculate factoids you've culled from dark-webbed conspiracy sites. The limo was NOT immediately "washed." That's pure BS. It was duly analyzed, photographed and examined to the nines before being put back in service in 1964. No skull fragments were ever found, that day, nor on any subsequent days, that go against Oswald-alone. We know Oswald's 1st shot missed because it ricocheted off the metal arm of a traffic signal. The bullet was not found, and it would be a miracle if it were. Sorry pallie, there's no mystery there. The Umbrella Man (aka Louis Witt) did not immediately realize he was the subject of so many silly conspiracy theories until years later. But his testimony before the HSCA puts the theories to rest. There's no there, there.

The Harper Fragment found by a college student the next day. A fragment from the back of the head on the grass of Dealey Plaza, lost, like his brain?? Too weird. Without that piece and only working with terrible pictures, the HSCA could not study the wound very well. And what was with the other guns found. These "professionals " one even had a gun shop could not properly identify a gun?? Because they found more than one! photos showing the rifle in Lt. Day's possession seems to heighten the controversy concerning the ammunition clip and the identification of the rifle. Dallas Police Department pictures show Lt. Day dusting a rifle for prints while in the Texas School Book Depository. The photograph shows that the rifle has no ammunition clip. However, another picture of Lt. Day carrying the rifle from the Depository shows a rifle with an ammunition clip "clearly visible protruding from the bottom of the magazine of the rifle." This photo also shows a rifle with sling swivels mounted on the left side of the weapon, "while CE 746 B (a Warren Commission enlargement of CE 133A, which is a photo of Oswald with rifle) clearly shows that Oswald's rifle had the sling swivels on the bottom. The rifle that Lt. Day is carrying simply is not Oswald's rifle." [24] On the afternoon of the shooting, KBOX, a Dallas television station, broadcast that "a rifle has been found in a staircase on the fifth floor ... Sheriff's deputies identify the weapon as a 7.65 Mauser ... " [25] To add to the confusion WBAP-TV reported that a British Enfield 303 had been found in the Depository. [26] Dallas police officer Lt. Day took the rifle to police headquarters on Friday afternoon and dictated a detailed report of the weapon's description to his secretary, but the report was never included in the Commission's exhibits. [27] Later that night at a televised press conference, Dallas District Attorney Wade declared that the rifle found in the Depository was a 7.65 German Mauser. [28] Lt. Day released the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle to the FBI at 11:45 p.m., November 22, 1963. The CIA produced a document on the 25th of November 1963 that created more confusion by declaring " ... employed in this criminal attack is a Model 91 rifle, 7.35 caliber, 1938 modification ... the description of a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle in the Italian and foreign press is in error. It was a Mauser." [29] Oswald told his inquisitors that he had seen a Mauser in the Texas School Book Depository. On November 20th, Warren Carter, an employee of Southwestern Publishing Company that occupied part of the second floor in the Depository, brought a Mauser rifle and a .22 calibre rifle for his fellow employees to look at, a fact that was verified by numerous Depository employees.

That took about an extra second and a half, so those were two different shots from 2 different guns because Oswald could not have reloaded and aimed and shot in a second and a half. So now we have at least 2 shooters and more than likely 3 or 4, because Oswald's best shot was before Elm Street. That is probably why the Zappruder film was not shown to the public until 1975.

As I wrote previously: The theory that there were multiple shooters is discredited by the fact that no bullets, fragments or shells other than what came from Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano rifle were discovered anywhere by anyone in Dealey Plaza, the limousine, Parkland Hospital, or in the bodies of Kennedy or Governor Connolly. All bullets or fragments thereof found that day were positively traced back to Oswald’s rifle to the exclusion of all other weapons. (Those fragments either too damaged or too small to submit to analysis could not be traced to any other weapon.) Conspiracy fans must ask themselves: Where are the missing “magic” bullets from another assassin(s)? Furthermore, examination of the clothing and of the photographs and X-rays taken at the autopsy reveal that President Kennedy was struck by two bullets fired from above and behind him, one of which entered through the upper back, exiting the front of the throat below the Adam’s apple; and the other of which entered the skull from behind and exploded its right side.

I’d expect confusion to occur for her if Garrison had chalk board diagrams of the CIA training people how to play Twister; but given what we know about clandestine CIA involvement overseas I’m struggling to understand why training people in swamps drew the hilarity it did.

"When the authorities came to her house with a search warrant, Mrs. Paine did what every red blooded American housewife would have done, she went shopping while the cops rooted through her garage and bedroom. If Mrs. Paine was subjected to the same justice that the Military Tribunal dished out to those who assisted John W. Booth in his flight from Ford’s Theater after shooting President Lincoln, she would have been hanged whether she was part of the conspiracy or not.

Here is the root of the conspiracy = Ruth was taught Russain by LILLIAN ZAPRUDER those 2 knew each other and what lead me this way was that Mrs. Sitzman walked back to the Pergola and made sure that Erwin and Robert got away. Then I saw a video on YT of Zaps Gran daughter Alex doing a promo for 26 seconds in Dallas and she did what Abe said not to do ---- She showed the first part of the Zap film of them at home ---- Lillian Zapruder is the Babushka Lady. Zap was not just a nice loving dad He was involved with the Jewish Bingo Society. Jade do you see that they kept calling the rifle a Mauser until Buddy got back from Ruths Garage. What Roger Craig saw was a 1891 Argentine 7.65 Mauser sports mod. to a 30-06. They had them at the nearby gun shop in a garbage can with a sign 25 bucks. Now look that rifle up on Google Images.

Or maybe it's that her story (just like everyone else's story that day, once fact is separated from fiction) does not fit your conspiracy narrative, so you have to twist everything around to make it. Ruth's involved, Marina's involved, the Dallas police, the CIA, LBJ, the mafia, your own mama. Do you realize how deranged you sound? I don't personally care if you want to be a conspiracy nut, but when your fantasies involve impugning someone's good name it becomes a problem. You should have compassion for this woman, who obviously had no involvement and clearly still lives so much with this tragedy, rather than hurling baseless insinuations and vagaries. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

This is a case of Mrs. Payne re-writing her history of this period in her life to divert interest away from all the suspicious activities in which she was involved. Mrs. Payne was a radical and an active member of the Russian community in Dallas. Ask yourself why she had an urge to study Russian. As a whim? There are so much more interesting facts concerning this lady; facts fleshed out in many books and the Commission Report but rarely discussed. She knows much more than she wants to say. Look up George de Mohrenschildt, very big in the Russian community, and read about his connections to Lee and you'll discover that he felt very highly of Mrs. Payne. You don't get to critcize those who disagree with the assassination narative unless you're read and understand facts abou George de Mohrenschildt and other key players in this history changing event. Roger Craig's story of what happened that day in Dallas is one that is hard to sweep under the rug. Was there a conspiracy? I can't say for sure but many strange things happened that day in Dallas. Conveniently, the person who knew the most was assassinated two days later.

Ask her about the possibility that she and her husband posed as the Oswald's shortly before the assassination. She spoke Russian, her husband looked very much like Oswald, and the couple had been seen while Oswald was known to be working. She helped get Oswald the job in the tsbd. That was quite a lucky place for someone to find a job where he could shoot the president from. Ask her about her sister working for CIA. Her father too. Her husband was heard saying to her that they knew who really killed Kennedy. Michael worked for Belll helicopter, a huge beneficiary of the war contracts. I'd argue with my wife if she spent her time living with a person who so obviously was striving to drive a wedge between him and his wife. Ask her if her relationship with Marina was ever physical. You know, as lovers. For not really knowing Marina, she went way beyond what even a close friend would have done. Like driving her back to Dallas from New Orleans? Who would do that?
