April 6, 1963 Oswald is fired from his job at the

photo lab. No one knows where he spends his

days. Marina says he spent a few

evenings shooting target practice. April 10 A single shot is fired through the

window of Ret. General Walker's study, just missing him.

It’s Not what you think:

•Transfer had been announced for 10:00am•At Western Union Office 11:17 •Why wasn’t Ruby at the police station earlier?•Oswald changed shirts at the last minute?• Shoots Oswald 11:21•Took his dog Sheba with him•“I thought I would be a hero, I guess I screwed up.”

Jack Ruby shoots Oswald as Detective James

Leavelle, handcuffed to Oswald, looks on.

It’s Not what you think:• Asked for and passed a polygraph test• Did you know Oswald before Nov. 22, 1963?• A: No• Did you assist Oswald in the assassination?• A: No• Did you shoot Oswald in order to silence him?• A: No• Is everything you told the Warren Commission the

entire truth?• A: Yes• Did any foreign influence cause you to shoot

Oswald?• A: No• Did you shoot Oswald because of the influence of

the underworld?• A: No• Did you shoot Oswald in order to save Mrs.

Kennedy the ordeal of a trial?• A: Yes• Did you know the Tippet that was killed?• A: No

It’s Not what you think:

•Once you rule out Ruby, must rule out the Mafia. •Why would he try to kill General Walker months before and risk being caught.

•Hit man chain.

•Oswald’s death helped solve the case! Gave us hear-say evidence.

1. Marina talked to police and Warren Commission2. Told them about General Walker attempt3. Told them about the ring and $1704. Told them about the backyard photos

It’s Not what you think:

•Why risk nuclear war to replace a young hardliner with an old one? Did they expect Johnson to be better?

•Khrushchev was trying to make peace with Kennedy, not kill him.

•KGB thought Oswald was an American agent; opened his mail, bugged his apartment. Files describe him as mentally unstable and had no use for him.

•Russian leaders and people acted with great shock and grief upon the news of JFK’s death:

1. Bells tolled in mourning and radio station broadcast tributes.

2. Premier and Mrs. Khrushchev sent personal messages of condolence to Mrs. Kennedy.

3. Foreign Minister Gromyko had tears in his eyes

•Why would they contract a man as unstable as Oswald?

It’s Not what you think:•Top officials were more concerned with safeguarding their own agendas than disclosing all relevant facts.

•Hoover wanted to solve the crime quickly and to his credit.

•CIA secretly trying to kill Fidel Castro. Public could not learn they had information on Oswald and didn’t act on it.

•Keep it covered since 1963? Someone would have talked!

•To prove a conspiracy would make one rich and heroic. WC reputations on the line.

•Warren Commission distinguished and highly viewed men. Would they risk ruining their careers to cover up the killing of the president?

•They liked Kennedy!

•Can only have 1 conspiracy. All other theories become $%&*
