RUTH PAINE IS AWARDED THE KEY TO THE CITY OF IRVING, JUNE, 2010: STORY BELOW
WANT TO GET ARRESTED? SELL "OSWALD DIDN'T DO IT" BOOKS AT DEALEY PLAZA!
THAT'S THE QUICK WAY TO MISERY.
OR WRITE A BOOK ABOUT OSWALD'S INNOCENCE WHILE LIVING IN DALLAS, AND LAND IN THE HOSPITAL A FEW TIMES, WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
THERE WERE TWO TROUBLING EVENTS THAT OCCURRED THIS MONTH IN THE DALLAS AREA. THE FIRST WAS THE ARREST OF 'VENDORS' ON 'PRIVATE PROPERTY' --THAT 'PRIVATE PROPERTY' BEING DEALEY PLAZA, WHERE THOUSANDS CONGREGATE TO VIEW WHERE JOHN F. KENNEDY WAS MURDERED. OVERLOOKING THE PLACE WHERE IT HAPPENED, BESIDE THE OH-SO-UPON-IT GRASSY KNOLL, IS THE TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY BUILDING AND THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM, WHERE FOR YOUR BURNISHED PENNIES AND HARD-EARNED CASH, YOU CAN HEAR THE OFFICIAL VERSION--THAT OSWALD DID IT.
IT'S THE ONLY VERSION THAT'S POLITICALLY CORRECT IN THE DALLAS AREA.
THAT'S DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE NOW KNOW THE BACK OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S HEAD WAS DELIBERATELY PAINTED IN BLACK TO HIDE A SHOT FROM THE FRONT IN THE FAMOUS ZAPRUDER FILM.
THAT'S DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE KNOW THE AUTOPSY PHOTOS WERE RIGGED TO TRY TO SHOW A SHOT FROM THE BACK (SEE DOUG HORNE'S INSIDE THE ARRB).
THAT'S DESPITE THE FACT THAT FORMER SECRET SERVICE AGENT FOR JFK, ABRAHAM BOLDEN, HAS TESTIFIED THAT AN INFORMANT NAMED "LEE" SAVED KENNEDY'S LIFE IN CHICAGO.
THAT'S DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE KNOW LEE OSWALD COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE 'SNIPER'S NEST' ACCORDING TO SOLID WITNESS TESTIMONY.
THAT'S DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE "MAGIC BULLET" IS BASED ON MOVING A BULLET HOLE 'UPWARDS' BY GERALD FORD, WHO ADMITTED IT, SO THAT A TRAJECTORY COULD BE CREATED TO ALLOW FOR THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH A BULLET. A BULLET THAT HAS TOO MUCH NOT MISSING FROM IT TO ACCOUNT FOR PIECES OF BULLET LODGED IN BONES THAT CLEARLY SHOW UP IN X=RAYS OF GOV. JOHN CONNALLY'S WRIST.
A BULLET THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE BULLETS FIRED THROUGH COTTON--ALMOST PRISTINE, THOUGH IT SUPPOSEDLY SHATTERED A RIB AND WRIST BONES AFTER PASSING THROUGH KENNEDY'S BACK, AND THROAT AND OTHER PARTS OF CONNALLY'S BODY AS WELL.
A BULLET SHOT, SUPPOSEDLY, FROM A RIFLE IN SUCH POOR CONDITION THAT PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TEST FIRE IT TO THIS VERY DAY.
THESE FACTS, AND MANY MORE, SCREAM OUT THAT LEE HARVEY OSWALD, JUST AS HE SAID, DID NOT KILL JFK.
BUT IN JUNE, 2010 IN DALLAS, THE SAME OLD STORY IS STILL BEING REPEATED AS IF THESE WERE BEADS ON A ROSARY: THAT LEE OSWALD SHOT KENNEDY.
AND THE VERY WOMAN WHO SUPPLIED MUCH EVIDENCE IN THE CASE AGAINST OSWALD HAS JUST RECEIVED THE KEY TO THE CITY OF IRVING. YOU CAN READ THE ARTICLE BELOW, AFTER I FINISH RANTING A BIT ABOUT HER.
IT'S NOT WISE TO EXPRESS YOUR OPINION THAT OSWALD WAS INNOCENT IN A PLACE LIKE DALLAS, TEXAS, WHICH APPARENTLY WANTS TO KEEP ITS REPUTATION AS A CITY WHERE UNJUST SENTENCES HAVE BEEN METED OUT FOR MANY YEARS UPON THE HEADS OF INNOCENT VICTIMS.
THE DALLAS POLICE RECENTLY ARRESTED 'VENDORS' IN DEALEY PLAZA, STATING THAT THE CITY-OWNED PROPERTY IS PRIVATE PROPERTY. A STORY WAS FRONTED THAT SOME VENDORS ARE IN YOUR FACE AND SCARE PEOPLE. HUH? ANYBODY WHO'S BEEN TO DEALEY PLAZA KNOWS THAT A TROUBLEMAKER CAN BE PLANTED EASILY AMONG THOSE WHO ARE CONDUCTING TOURS, SELLING BOOKS, AND HAWKING SOUVENIRS.
GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE 'VENDORS' ARE LARGELY THERE TO EDUCATE VISITORS HUNGRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR GOOD SENSE TELLS THEM IS OBVIOUS: THAT GRASSY KNOLL IS SO CLOSE --THE BUILDING WHERE THE SNIPER'S NEST IS --IN COMPARISON--AS IF A MILE AWAY. STANDING THERE IN THE PLAZA, IT'S VERY HARD TO IGNORE THE GRASSY KNOLL.
BUT THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM DOES A GREAT JOB OF SELLING THE STORY THAT ITS SNIPER'S NEST OCCUPANT WAS OSWALD --NOBODY ELSE -- EVEN THOUGH PHOtOS SHOW BOXES WERE MOVED TO CREATE THE SO-CALLED SNIPER'S NEST AFTER THE SHOTS WERE FIRED.
YOU WON'T SEE THOSE PHOTOS IN THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM.
NOR ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ACUALLY PEER FROM THE NEST SITE, ITSELF. TO DO SO WOULD SHOW YOU HOW AWFULLY HARD SUCH A SERIES OF SHOTS WOULD HAVE BEEN TO MAKE. THE SNIPER'S NEST AREA IS CONVENIENTLY WALLED OFF WITH CLEAR PLASTIC. NOBODY CAN GET INTO POSITION WITH A RIFLE THERE, NOW, TO SEE IF THE RIFLE BUTT WOULD HIT THE WALL WHEN TURNED TO AIM AT JFK. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CONTENT WITH PHOTOS SHOWING THE FBI USING A TEST RIFLE-- MOUNTED ON A TRIPOD, NO LESS.
WHAT NEXT?
WILL MONEY-HUNGRY DALLAS END UP CHARGING ADMISSION TO DEALEY PLAZA ITSELF -- THOUGH IT WAS THE VERY PUBLIC SITE OF OUR PRESIDENT'S EXECUTION?
WHY NOT?
THOUGH HE BELONGS TO THE AGES, AND TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, OUR SLAIN PRESIDENT IS CLEARLY REJECTED BY DALLAS, WHO NEVER ERECTED A DECENT MONUMENT TO OUR FALLEN LEADER. INSTEAD, WITH THE HELP OF SUCH CHARACTERS AS GARY MACK OF THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM -- A MAN WHO USED TO SAY OSWALD DID NOT KILL JFK, BUT WHO NOW SAYS THAT IT'S LIKELY OSWALD DID THE JOB. HIS POCKETS COMFORTABLY BULGING WITH HIS HEFTY SALARY, GARY MACK NOW ADDS HIS VOICE TO THE MUSEUM'S AND THE ESTABLISHMENT IN HELPING TO DESTROIY KENNEDY'S REPUTATION.
AFTER ALL, WHO WILL CARE IF THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT KENNEDY WAS JUST ANOTHER CORRUPT CREEP IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
JFK'S MEMORY IS BEING SYSTEMATICALLY DESTROYED BY OUR SOLD-OUT MEDIA, WHICH CONCENTRATES ON JFK'S WOMANIZING AND PAINKILLER USE RATHER THAN ON HIS PROVEN COURAGE, HIS BATTLES WITH CONSTANT PAIN, AND A DEVOTION TO COUNRY THAT PROVED KENNEDY, TURNED ERSATZ PLAYBOY, CARED MORE ABOUT AMERICA THAN ABOUT HIS OWN LIFE--AS JAMES DOUGLASS MAKES ABUNDANTLY CLEAR IN HIS FINE BOOK, JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLE--WHY HE DIED AND WHY IT MATTERS.
DALLAS MAKES A HEFTY BUNDLE ITSELF OFF THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM.
YOU CAN PAY YOUR FEE FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING SOLD THE OFFICIAL VERSION AT THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM, WHICH PUSHES OSWALD-DID-IT TO ALL, WHILE SELLING BOOKS THAT ONLY REFLECT THE OFFICIAL VERSION.
THE MUSEUM WON'T SELL HORNE'S BOOKS THERE, THAT TELL YOU THE ARRB DISCOVERED THAT THE AUTOPSY PHOTOS HAD BEEN RIGGED TO TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE KENNEDY HAD BEEN SHOT FROM BEHIND -- AND THAT THE ZAPRUDER FILM WAS ACTUALLY PAINTED OVER TO HIDE A SHOT FROM THE FRONT -- A DISCOVERY MADE BY SYDNEY WILKINSON'S HOLLYWOOD RESTORATION FILM EXPERTS ON A TRUE COPY OF THE ZAPRUDER FILM IN 2009.
THEY WILL NOT SELL THE BOOK ME & LEE THERE, EITHER. THEY WILL NOT SELL JIM MARRS' CROSSFIRE THERE.
THEY WILL NOT SELL HASLAM'S DR. MARY'S MONKEY THERE.
THEY WILL NOT SELL JAMES DOUGLASS' JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLETHERE.
THEY WILL NOT SELL DR. JIM FETZER'S THE GREAT ZAPRUDER FILM HOAX THERE.
THEY WILL SELL YOU VINCE BUGLIOSI'S HUGE BOOK--WHEREIN BUGLIOSI TRASHES ME, THOUGH HE NEVER INTERVIEWED ME. HE COPIED HIS INFORMATION FROM OTHERS WHO NEVER MET ME. SO MUCH FOR BUGLIOSI'S RESEARCH METHODS.
THEY WILL SELL YOU GERALD POSNER'S BOOK, THOUGH POSNER'S BOOK HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE RIDDLED WITH ERRORS AND OMISSIONS.
MEANWHILE, ROBERT GRODEN, STANDING IN DEALEY PLAZA AS HE HAS FOR DECADES, WAS ARRESTED. WHY? BECAUSE HE WAS A 'VENDOR' SELLING ON 'PRIVATE PROPERTY.'
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL DALLAS THAT DEALEY PLAZA BELONGS TO AMERICA AND AMERICANS.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO REMIND THE DALLAS POLICE THAT THEY HELPED FRAME OSWALD. ANYBODY EVER WATCH 'DALLAS DNA'?
ATOP THAT DISTURBING AND PORTENTOUS ACT THIS JUNE BY THE DALLAS POLICE, IN THE SAME MONTH, WE SEE IN THE PAPERS AN OUTRIGHT STATEMENT FROM THE CITY OF IRVING (JUST INCHES FROM DALLAS)THAT LEE OSWALD TOOK A RIFLE FROM RUTH PAINE'S GARAGE AND THEN SHOT KENNEDY.
THE STORY WAS ABOUT RUTH PAINE RECEIVING A KEY TO THE CITY OF IRVING.
MY OPINION OF RUTH PAINE CAN FIT INSIDE THE DOT AT THE END OF THIS SENTENCE.
I BELIEVE THAT MARINA OSWALD WOULD AGREE WITH ME.
MOST OF THE DAMNING EVIDENCE AGAINST LEE OSWALD CAME FROM RUTH PAINE'S GARAGE OR FROM HER VERY MOUTH.
IT WAS NOT LEE OSWALD BUT RUTH PAINE WHO, BY HER OWN TESTIMONY, WAS LAST SEEN IN THE GARAGE THE NIGHT BEFORE JFK WAS SHOT. WHERE THE KILLER RIFLE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE LAIN ON THE SAWDUST-LITTERED FLOOR, WRAPPED IN A BLANKET, FOR TWO MONTHS.
A BLANKET THAT HAD NO SAWDUST ON IT WHEN PHOTOGRAPHED.
A NICE, CLEAN BLANKET.
LAUNDRY HAD BEEN DONE THAT NIGHT. THE BLANKET HAD BEEN DESCRIBED BY MARINA AS HER TODDLER JUNE'S FAVOPRITE BLANKET. WHAT WAS IT DOING, THEN, IN THE PAINE GARAGE, SUPPOSEDLY LYING ON THE DIRTY GARAGE FLOOR FOR TWO MONTHS? SUPPOSEDLY PUSHED ASIDE, STEPPED ON? SUPPOSEDLY HOLDING A RIFLE ALL THAT TIME, THOUGH WE HAVE OSWALD IMPOSTERS OUT THERE FIRING AT RIFLE RANGES. WITH WHAT RIFLES?
YET THAT NIGHT, OSWALD WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SNEAKED IN AND PULLED OUT THE RIFLE AND WRAPPED IT UP IN PAPER -- THOUGH THE BUNDLE OBSERVED BY OTHERS THAT MORNING WAS WAY TOO SMALL TO HAVE HELD ANY RIFLE.
NEVERTHELESS, THE BLANKET WAS EMPTY WHEN POINTED OUT BY RUTH PAINE TO THE POLICE THE NEXT AFTERNOON. THAT NICE, CLEAN BLANKET THAT HAD BEEN JUNE'S FAVORIE BLANKET...SUPPOSEDLY IGNORED AND STEPPED ON FOR TWO MONTHS, I REPEAT.
OSWALD, SUPPOSEDLY FIRING OTHER RIFLES AT RIFLE RANGES FOR PRACTICE, DOESN'T USE 'OTHER RIFLES' FOR THE MURDER.
HE PULLS OUT A RIFLE THAT HASN'T BEEN FIRED FOR MONTHS -- A RIFLE MARINA OSWALD AT FIRST DENIED THAT HER HUSBAND OWNED -- A RIFLE THAT IS WELL-OILED BUT LEFT NO OIL INSIDE THE PAPER BAG THAT SUPPOSEDLY HELD IT -- AND, MOST TROUBLING OF ALL -- A RIFLE THAT HAD NO BLANKET FIBERS ON IT! THAT'S RIGHT. NO FIBERS FROM THE BLANKET CLUNG TO THE WELL-OILED RIFLE. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAIRY WITH FIBERS.
WHAT A JOKE!
THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE OFFICIAL VERSION MUST HAVE DOUBLE-DIGIT IQ'S. THOSE WHO DEFEND IT HAVE TO FACE GOD SOMEDAY. PERHAPS THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WILL NOT MEET OSWALD IN HELL AND THAT THEY WILL NOT, THEREFORE, HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO HIM THERE.
RUTH PAINE SAID SHE WENT INTO THAT GARAGE WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT --AND FOUND THE LIGHT ON. SHE SAYS OSWALD MUST HAVE GONE IN THERE TO GET HIS RIFLE. THAT HE FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT. NOT TOO BRIGHT, OSWALD...
BUT WAIT. MAYBE HE IS A BIT BRIGHT....FOR WHERE DID HE PUT THE RIFLE THAT NIGHT, THEN? WHEN DID HE WRAP IT? HE WAS LATE GETTING UP THE NEXT MORNING. VERY LATE. IN A HURRY.
HOW ODD, THOUGH, THAT RUTH PAINE DECIDED TO STAY UP LATE THAT NIGHT, AFTER SHE AND MARINA FINISHED FOLDING CLOHES THEY HAD WASHED AND DRIED...COULD ANY FAVORITE BLANKET OF JUNE'S HAD BEEN WASHED THAT NIGHT, AND THUS AVAILABLE?
AT ANY RATE, WITH A BLANKET IN HER ARMS OR NOT, RUTH PAINE WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT DECIDED TO GO PAINT BLOCKS IN THE GARAGE. AND SHE IS THUS ABLE TO TELL US THAT OSWALD HAD TO HAVE BEEN IN THAT GARAGE THAT NIGHT.
HOW VERY ODD, THEN, WHEN WE READ TESIMONY FROM BOTH RUTH PAINE AND MARINA OSWALD THAT SHOWS OSWALD HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER THE GARAGE BEFORE HE WENT TO BED. HE WATCHED TELEVISION! MARINA SAYS SHE WAS AWAKE, AND SO WAS HE, THAT NIGHT, IN THEIR BEDROOM THERE. ONLY SHORTLY BEFORE DAWN DID OSWALD FINALLY FALL ASLEEP.
RUTH PAINE WAS THE KEY SUPPLIER OF DAMNING EVIDENCE AGAINST OSWALD.
HER HOME IS NOW GOING TO BECOME A MUSEUM. MORE FEES TO BE CHARGED...MORE INCOME FOR A CITY BLAMING OSWALD FOR KENNEDY'S MURDER...
RUTH PAINE, HAVING DONATED MATERIALS FOR THE NEW MINI-MUSEUM, THIS MONTH WAS GIVEN THE KEY TO THE CITY OF IRVING BY ITS MAYOR.
AT THE SAME TIME, ON SACRED GROUND THAT SHOULD BE FREE AND OPEN TO ALL AMERICANS, VENDORS ARE ARRESTED AT DEALEY PLAZA, AND CONCURRENTLY, LEE OSWALD IS DESCRIBED AS KENNEDY'S KILLER IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS: A MUSEUM DIRECTOR AKIN TO GARY MACK WILL BE HIRED TO PUSH THE OSWALD-DID-IT MANTRA TO THE VISITORS --- FOR A PRICE, OF COURSE -- IN THE FACE OF A MOUNTAIN OF FACTS THAT TELL US OSWALD DIDN'T KILL KENNEDY.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
PLEASE.
AND TELL THEM ABOUT MY BOOK, ME & LEE.
THE MEDIA WON'T BE THERE TO TELL PEOPLE --IT'S ONLY THROUGH YOUR EFFORTS THAT THE BOOK WILL MAKE ITS POINTS.
IT WILL BE RELEASED AS SOON AS IT GETS PRINTED IN AUGUST. GREAT CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO VERIFY AND CHECK WHAT I WROTE IN THAT BOOK.
GREAT CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN, TOO, TO PERPETUATE A MYTH THAT HIDES THE TRUTH FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE--THAT THE COUNTRY WAS TAKEN OVER BY AN ILLEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT THAT HAD LED US INTO WARS AND ECONOMIC HARD TIMES. IT IS A LEGACY BASED ON CRIMINAL ACTS THAT HAVE GONE UNPUNISHED, WHILE THE TRUTH TELLERS THAT ARE STILL ALIVE GET ARRESTED OR ARE FORCED, AS AM I, INTO EXILE.
RUIH PAINE AND HER HUSBAND WERE CAUGHT IN A TAPED CONVERSATION SAYING THEY KNEW WHO WAS BEHIND THE ASSASSINATION, AND THAT IT WASN'T LEE OSWALD. BUT THERE'S MORE.
To find out more about the Paines, and why they might not be as wonderful as the media presents them, read
A Certain Arrogance: The Sacrificing of Lee Harvey Oswald and the Wartime Manipulation of Religious Groups by U.S. Intelligence by George Michael Evica. The curageous publishers at trine day have again come through with a fine book that should be on your "must read" list.
researcher Carol Hewett had remarks of importance to make at a Lancer Conference regarding the Paines:
"Another reason the Paines are important is that their home was one of two major sources of evidence seized against Oswald, the other being, of course, the Texas School Book Depository. Evidence implicating Oswald "simply oozed out of the Paine household, like a seeping wound," Hewett said, and included the Walker photos, the blanket that allegedly held the assassination weapon, the fake Hidell documents, the negative used to fake Hidell identification, and some, but not all, of the infamous "backyard" photos.
Two other important pieces of evidence seized from the Paine house on the assassination weekend were the Minox camera and the November 9 embassy letter, although their existence was not learned of until later."
John Kelin, who reported on the Lancer Conference where Hewett spoke,had more to share from her remarks about the Paines:
"Another reason the Paines are important is that their home was one of two major sources of evidence seized against Oswald, the other being, of course, the Texas School Book Depository. Evidence implicating Oswald "simply oozed out of the Paine household, like a seeping wound," Hewett said, and included the Walker photos, the blanket that allegedly held the assassination weapon, the fake Hidell documents, the negative used to fake Hidell identification, and some, but not all, of the infamous "backyard" photos.
Two other important pieces of evidence seized from the Paine house on the assassination weekend were the Minox camera and the November 9 embassy letter, although their existence was not learned of until later.
It is difficult for researchers to categorize the Paines, Hewett said. While there are plenty of suspicious circumstances surrounding them, what does it mean? Some plainly suggest a CIA connection, as with the evidence presented by Steve Jones. But, Hewett continued, "the facts surrounding the circumstances of these two items of evidence have led me to believe Ruth Paine may have had some FBI affiliation."
The question of the Minox camera is rather problematic. It was discovered among Oswald's possessions by the Dallas police. But according to research by John Armstrong, this camera and hundreds of other items were seized by the FBI on the evening November 22, 1963. By manipulating police records, it appears, knowledge of the camera's existence was suppressed.
By early 1964, word of the camera's existence began to leak out. "An article appeared in The Nation magazine, in January of 1964, highly critical of the FBI, and accusing the FBI of suppressing evidence," Hewett said. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover ordered Dallas agents to find the camera. But, she said, "This was a camera they had all along in their possession."
FBI Agent Bardwell Odum contacted Ruth Paine, Hewett said, and asked her to "check into this matter. And Ruth calls Bardwell back, and says, 'Oh, yes, we have a Minox camera. I just called my husband at work and he reminded me that we have one, rusting away, in an old coffee can in the garage. We'll be happy to get it for you.'" Agent Odum soon showed up at the Paine's house and picked up a Minox camera.
According to Odum's report, Michael Paine said he offered the camera to the Dallas police, but they weren't interested in it. "This is a blatant lie," Hewett said. "This conversation --- this alleged conversation between Michael Paine and Bardwell Odum --- was recorded on a January 30, 1964 memo. We now have an internal memo dated January 25, 1964, generated by the highest officers and officials of the FBI, in which they acknowledge they had been in possession of the Minox camera all along. And in fact, they were comparing the film in that camera with some film in a New York City counter-espionage file."
It now appears, Hewett said, that there were two Minox cameras. Michael Paine said the camera he gave to Bardwell Odum was returned to him after the Warren Commission finished its work. It was later stolen, he said. But in 1978, a camera said to be the same one was presented to Marina Oswald for identification --- along with a second Minox camera. Mrs. Oswald could not identify either one.
One of those cameras is still in the National Archives, Hewett said, but the other one is missing. But she said it isn't known which camera it is because the serial number, printed on the inside of the camera, is not accessible. Hewett wrote the Archives asking about this, but "they wrote back claiming the camera was stuck shut." Informed of this, the ARRB expressed no interest in pursuing the matter. (See Reactions to the Board, in this issue, for more on the ARRB's lack of interest in the Paines.)
"The other thing that made me consider that perhaps Ruth and Michael were FBI informants was the November 9 embassy letter that Oswald wrote," Hewett said. There are actually three versions --- Oswald's handwritten version, a more polished typed version, and a third in Ruth Paine's hand, which she told the Warren Commission she copied from Oswald's typed version. This last version is missing from the National Archives collection, Hewett said.
The typewritten version has the initials of FBI agent James Hosty on it --- dated November 22, although the FBI did not officially assume jurisdiction in the case until November 26. Although Dallas police investigators were searching the Paine home for evidence against Oswald on November 22 and 23, and although Ruth was fully aware of this, Hewett said, "she is providing the FBI with critical documentation behind the backs of the Dallas police."
Ruth Paine may also have alerted the FBI that a postal notice to Oswald arrived at her home, directing them to the post office to pick up a package. "What we have here," Hewett summarized, "is Ruth furnishing the FBI with leads, while simultaneously vacating [her] house to let the Dallas police have access to whatever it is they can find."
As she neared the conclusion of her talk, Carol Hewett went over some facts which she felt demonstrated incongruitites in Ruth Paine's personality. "Ruth Paine is described by almost all of her friends in the northeast as a charitble individual. And yet, not once did anyone ever describe a single act of charity. There are no indications that she donated money, took in stray dogs, or that she'd ever taken in any other forlorn women and children. We have no specific acts --- the only act is her act of her taking in Marina Oswald.
"Repeatedly, throughout her own testimony and the testimony of all her friends, they said that her motive were so that she could learn the Russian language. Now, Ruth Paine studied the Russian language non-stop, from the mid-1950s. And in Dallas, she was studying it not only through the Berlitz school, but she had a personal tutor who was a native-speaking Russian, Dorothy Gravitis. And so what did she need Marina Oswald for?"
So it seems, Hewett said, like a phony excuse. "And the phoniness carries over towards Ruth's care of Marina, in both the spring of '63 and the fall of '63. Ruth is very indignant when she testifies that Oswald would not permit Marina to speak English. Yet at no time did Ruth and Marina speak English. Ruth had ample opportunity to teach Marina English, and yet, just like Oswald, Ruth insisted on talking to Marina in the Russian language in the privacy of their home --- where Oswald wasn't there to interfere. And so this doesn't seem right."
Both Paines were active in the Dallas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. "And yet, when it came to obtaining counsel for Lee Harvey Oswald, Ruth didn't try very hard. And she was very annoyed that Oswald even had the audacity to ask her to call John Abt." There are no indications she actually tried to contact Abt on Oswald's behalf, Hewett said. "This doesn't seem to ring true to the civil libertarian that Ruth claims to be."
The most disturbing incongruity, in Hewett's view, had to do with Ruth's reaction to Oswald's murder. "We have this pious Quaker who, when interviewed by a journalist for Redbook magazine in the summer of 1964, told this journalist that she was glad that Ruby shot Oswald. She was glad that Oswald was dead --- these are exact quotes. And this journalist was just appalled that this very religious woman would say such a thing. Because even if Oswald had done the murder, this was a man who was deprived of his civil liberties, was not given the opportunity to have a trial or be defended by counsel. And there was this widow, and two little girls that Ruth was supposed to be attached to, and there was no offer of condolence. Ruth did not go to Oswald's funeral. Even Jackie Kennedy had the good graces to offer condolences to Marina Oswald."

I HAVE MY OWN REASONS FOR DISTRUSTING RUTH AND MICHAEL PAINE: LEE DID NOT TRUST THEM AND TOLD ME NEVER TO TRUST THEM. I REALIZE THAT BY SPEAKING OUT LIKE THIS, I MAKE ENEMIES, FOR RUTH PAINE IS ALIVE. FURTHERMORE, PEOPLE DO CHANGE. THEY MAY REGRET THEIR ACTIONS IN THE PAST. I,MYSELF, HAVE SOME CHILDREN WHO HAVE JUDGED ME FOR WHAT HAPPENED IN 1963, AND FOR LATER PRECIPITATING A DIVORCE (AFTER 24 YEARS) FROM THEIR FATHER.
IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO PILLORY RUTH PAINE, BUT I DO NOTE SHE ESCAPED QUESTIONING BY NOT ONLY THE HSCA, BUT ALSO BY THE ARRB. WHY? THEY SAID SHE HAD BEEN QUESTIONED ENOUGH. HOWEVER, SO MUCH MORE NEW INFORMATION HAS EMERGED.
ONLY PEOPLE WHO SWALLOW THE OFFICIAL VERSION WHOLE, WITHOUT BLINKING, CAN BE UNAWARE THAT LEE HARVEY OSWALD WAS FRAMED, THAT HE WAS INNOCENT OF KENNEDY'S MURDER.
HENCE, TO READ THAT LEE OSWALD TOOK A RIFLE FROM PAINE'S GARAGE AND USED IT TO SHOOT KENNEDY --WRITEN IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2010 -- IS PARTICULARLY DISHEARTENING AND INDICATIVE OF THE KIND OF ATMOSPHERE THAT EXISTS IN DALLAS AND NEARBY IRVING --THE SAME ATMOSPHERE THAT PROVOKED THE ARREST OF 'VENDORS' EARLIER THIS MONTH -- IMAGINE--THEY ARRESTED ROBERT GRODEN, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!--- CLAIMING THAT DEALEY PLAZA, OWNED BY THE CITY OF DALLAS, IS 'PRIVATE PROPERTY' WHERE OTHER VIEWPOINTS CANNOT BE LEGALLY OFFERED TO THE THOUSANDS WHO VISIT THERE YEARLY.
AS LONG AS DALLAS ARRESTS 'VENDORS' AND PROMOTES "OSWALD-DID-IT" FAIRY TALES SO BLATANTLY AND WITHOUT RESERVATION, I AM OBLIGED TO SPEAK UP.
AND SO ARE YOU.
YOU SAW THE LIST OF BOOKS THAT AREN'T SOLD AT THE SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM.
TELL OTHERS ABOUT THEM. TELL OTHERS THAT PEOPLE SELLING THEM GET ARRESTED AT DEALEY PLAZA.
THE FICTION THAT OSWALD KILLED KENNEDY MUST BE LABELED AS FICTION EVERYWHERE IT RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD.
BELOW IS THE ARTICLE--IN BOLD FACE, I'VE NOTED THE MOST OFFENSIVE PASSAGES. I WRITE FROM EXILE. I CAN'T SEE MY LOVED ONES. IT'S GETTING TO ME, FRANKLY. BUT THE TRUTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY FEELINGS. I WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK.
I HOPE YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY.
THIS 4TH OF JULY, DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
SPREAD THE TRUTH. OUR FREEDOM AND OUR FUTURES DEPEND ON IT.
Mayor Herbert Gears and wife Christina welcomed Ruth Paine to their home today

Deborah Fleck/News Assistant
Ruth Paine speaks with a heavy heart when asked about the tragic events that touched her life when she lived in Irving. Her small home on West Fifth Street became tied to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Her warmth and friendship led to inviting a lonely Russian mother to stay with her. That mother turned out to be Marina Oswald, wife of Lee Harvey Oswald. It was from Ruth's house that fateful morning in 1963 that Lee Harvey took a rifle, headed downtown and shot the president.
Now, Irving hopes to turn her former home into a museum. Mayor Herbert Gears invited Ruth to his home today to hear the city's plans. Paul Gooch, director of Community Services, talked about the options the city is considering. One was to move the house to a park in the neighborhood to accommodate traffic.
Ruth said she was glad to donate the items she had to the city. "I'm not going to live forever and my children didn't seem interested," Ruth said about parting with now-historic items from that time.
Ruth made the trip to Irving along with her friend, Lou Falkenstein, to participate in a Juneteeth celebration Saturday that will honor the West Irving Improvement Association. The two women were very involved in that community during the 1960s.
Ruth now lives in California. She'll return home with a special memento--a key to Irving presented to her by the mayor.
