LEE HARVEY OSWALD

Lee Harvey Oswald was confronted by an armed Dallas policeman, Marion Baker, in the depository second floor lunchroom only 74 to 90 seconds (according to a Warren Commission time recreation) after the last shot. Baker first testified that the first shot he remembered hearing as he approached the depository and the Dallas Textile Building had originated from the "building in front of me, or, the one to the right." In the second floor lunch room, Oswald was identified by the superintendent of the building, Roy Truly, then released. Both Baker and Truly testified that Oswald appeared completely "calm, cool, normal, and was not out of breath in any way," and was not sweating. According to the Warren Commission, Oswald was next seen by a depository secretary as he crossed through the second floor business office carrying a soda bottle.^[6][7] He left the Texas School Book Depository at approximately 12:33 p.m. through its front door.

The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald had traveled from the sixth floor easternmost window, and hid an 8 pound, Italian-made 1938 Mannlicher-Carcano, 6.5 millimeter rifle equipped with a four-power scope along the way. The rifle was reported discovered by a Dallas police detective at 1:22 p.m., having been placed between stacks of boxes. After being discovered, the rifle was photographed before being touched.

Estimates of when the Depository Building was sealed off by police range from 12:33 to 12:50 p.m.^[8] The Dealey Plaza immediate area streets and blocks were never sealed-off, and within only nine minutes of the assassination, photographs show that vehicles were still driving unhampered down Elm Street, through the crime scene kill zone.

About 1:00 p.m., after a bus and taxi ride, Oswald arrived back at his boarding room (1026 North Beckley Ave.), and according to his housekeeper Earlene Roberts, left three or four minutes later. She last saw him standing and waiting at a bus stop.^[9]

At 1:12 to 1:15 p.m. (one nearby witness who actually looked at his watch stated 1:10 p.m.),^[10] Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit was shot dead near the intersection of 10th St. and Patton Ave. This was 0.86 mile from Oswald's rooming house. Thirteen people witnessed the man shooting Tippit or fleeing the immediate scene.^[11][12][13] By that evening, five of the witnesses had identified Oswald in police lineups, and a sixth identified him the following day. Four others subsequently identified Oswald from a photograph.^[14][15][13]

After the Tippit murder, Oswald was witnessed traveling on foot toward the Texas Theatre on West Jefferson Blvd. About 1:35 p.m. Johnny Calvin Brewer, who worked as a manager at Hardy's Shoe Store in the same block as the Texas Theatre on Jefferson Blvd. saw Oswald turning his face away from the street and duck into the entranceway of the shoe store as Dallas squad cars drove up the street with sirens on. When Oswald left the store, Brewer followed Oswald and watched him go into the Texas Theater movie house without paying while ticket attendant Julie Postal was distracted. Brewer notified Postal, who in turn informed the Dallas Police at 1:40 p.m.

Almost two dozen policemen, sheriffs, and detectives in several patrol cars arrived at Texas Theatre because they believed Tippit's killer was inside. When an arrest attempt was made at 1:50 p.m. inside the theater, Oswald resisted arrest and, according to the police, attempted to shoot a patrolman after yelling once, "Well, it's all over now!" then punching a patrolman.^[16]

At 3:01 p.m. Dallas time, only an hour after Oswald was taken into the Dallas jail, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover wrote a memo to his assistant directors in which he stated, "I called the Attorney General at his home and told him I thought we had the man who killed the President down in Dallas, at the present time".

JACK RUBY

Ruby died of a pulmonary embolism, secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma (lung cancer), on January 3, 1967 at Parkland Hospital, where Oswald had died and where President Kennedy had been pronounced dead after his assassination. He was buried beside his parents in the Westlawn Cemetery in Chicago.^[25][26][27]

HERE'S THE BIG QUESTION: WHY WAS OSWALD ARRESTED?

WAS OSWALD ARRESTED BECAUSE HE WAS BEHAVING SUSPICIOUSLY? WAS HE ARRESTED BECAUSE HE DIDN'T BUY A TICKET TO THE MOVIE? WAS HE ARRESTED BECAUSE THE COPS WERE HAVING A POLEECE FRENZY? WHAT CONNECTED OSWALD TO OFFICER TIPPIT? WERE THEY LOOKING FOR OSWALD? WAS OSWALD THE PRE-SELECTED FALL GUY? DID LEE HARVEY OSWALD FIRE A SHOT AT ANYONE? WE WILL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE OSWALD WAS KILLED BY JACK RUBY LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER BEING ARRESTED. RUBY CONVENIENTLY DIED OF A HEART ATTACK BEFORE GOING TO TRIAL. JFK'S MURDER WAS POLITICAL. IT INVOLVED THE FBI, SECRET SERVICE, THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE PENTAGON AND THE CIA. VERY POWERFUL PEOPLE WORKED HARD TO ENSURE THE TRUTH WILL NEVER BE KNOWN. WHO BENEFITED MOST FROM THE ASSASSINATION OF JFK? WITHOUT ANY QUESTION IT WAS LBJ WHO PURLOINED KENNEDY'S LIFE WHEN HE BECAME PRESIDENT. THE PLOT WAS ENGINEERED BY JAMES JESUS ANGELTON WHO WAS THE HEAD OF COUNTER INTELLIGENCE FOR THE CIA. NOW YOU KNOW AS MUCH AS ANYONE WILL EVER KNOW. KEEP THIS SECRET UNDER YOUR HAT.
