Ruthie Paine's Confusing Calendar

[Richard Smith]

Circular 

There's no evidence that Marina checked anything.

Sure there is.  Marina told us she did so.  That is evidence (direct testimony of the person who took the action in question) unless there is some reasonable basis to suggest that she is lying.  But tell us why she would be lying about this including your evidence to support this conclusion?  If there was any doubt that Marina believed that Oswald kept a rifle in the blanket at this early stage before any coercion could be applied to her, we know that just a short while later that day when asked by the police as to whether her husband owned a rifle, she directed them to the same blanket!!!  This is just a couple hours after the assassination and before she knows her husband is even involved.

[John Iacoletti]

Such a weak and dishonest attempt to spread misinformation. If Ruth thought Lee worked in the other warehouse, she couldn’t possibly have told Marina that the shots came from the building in which her husband worked.

[Martin Weidmann]

What a weak deflection.  Even if she had no clue where the building was in Dallas why would that matter when the media was reporting that the shots came from the TSBD?  Where her husband worked.  After learning this, Marina then checks the blanket for a rifle.  The only explanation for that action is that 1) she knew her husband possessed a rifle and kept it in that blanket; and 2) that her husband was a nut capable of such a thing because of his past history attempting to kill Walker.  This occurs right after the assassination before Marina has even been approached by the authorities or could have been subject to any coercion on the topic.

The king of BS is at it again;

Marina checked the blanket because she suspected at best (not knew) that Oswald possessed a rifle and kept it in a blanket. The only way she could have known for sure is if she asked Oswald if that rifle in the blanket was his. She never did!

And it is highly questionable if the Walker tale, the way we know it today, is true and correct. General Walker certainly didn't believe it was. When he saw the bullet the HSCA was trying to pass off as the bullet taken from the wall of his house (a bullet that would fit the MC rifle) he went so far as to instruct his lawyer to inform that HSCA that there had been a switch of bullets, because the one the HSCA had was in no way the same as the one Walker saw, after it was taken out of his wall. Besides, all the descriptions of the so-called Walker bullet, prior to the assassination, indicate a completely different bullet as well.

[Richard Smith]

Nope, there is zero evidence she left the couch to check anything.*)

Marina said.... ROFL

Your endless circular BS.

*) and the blanket had been moved, contrary to what she claimed.

To summarize.  Marina confirmed that upon being told by Ruth Paine that the shots were fired from her husband's place of employment, she went to check the blanket because she knew that is where he kept his rifle.  There has been zero evidence or even a reason articulated as to why she would lie about this.  Not even an attempt to explain this allegation.  And Marina's testimony is supported by her confirmation, in front of other witnesses, just a short time later when she directed the police to the blanket when asked about the rifle.  What is relevant is what she told Marina (i.e. that the shots were fired from the building in which her husband worked).  The pedantic debate about whether Ruth Paine could have known this with certainty is immensely amusing for its attempt at false deflection.  And, of course, Ruth Paine would have an obvious reason to tell Marina that the shots had been fired from the building that LHO worked in since the news reports indicated they came from the Texas School Book Depository and Paine knew Oswald worked for that company.

Good grief.  Of course Walker's testimony is evidence.  Just like Marina's testimony is evidence.  It should be taken into account and weighed in the totality of evidence and circumstances.   Marina's testimony that she checked the blanket because she knew Oswald kept his rifle there is consistent with her actions taken shortly thereafter when she directed the police to the blanket when asked about the rifle.  It is consistent with her testimony that she had seen the rifle in the blanket.  How does someone "suspect" that a rifle is in a blanket in the garage?  What does that even mean?  LOL.  She confirmed multiple times in her testimony that she saw a rifle in the blanket.   There is no ambiguity on this point.  She did not "assume" or "suspect" it was there as you falsely suggest.  She testified that she saw the rifle in the blanket.  She knew Oswald had kept it there and fully expected the police to find it.  It was only not there because Oswald had removed it to assassinate JFK.

Nobody said it wasn't. You need to pay more attention! But Walker could only tell the WC that some person unknown took a shot at him on April 10th.

Marina's testimony that she checked the blanket because she knew Oswald kept his rifle there is consistent with her actions taken shortly thereafter when she directed the police to the blanket when asked about the rifle.

Really? It is equally consistent with her simply assuming that it was Oswald's rifle.

How does someone "suspect" that a rifle is in a blanket in the garage?  What does that even mean?

Sometimes I truly wonder whether you have a reading comprehension problem. What I said was that Marina suspected that the rifle in the blanket belonged to Lee.

She did not "assume" or "suspect" it was there as you falsely suggest. 

I never suggested anything of the kind. Please do yourself a favor and learn to read correctly before you embarrass yourself even more.

She knew Oswald had kept it there and fully expected the police to find it.

How exactly did she know? Did she ask Lee if that was his rifle? No, she didn't. So, how did she know?

You do understand the difference between knowing and assuming, right?

[Jerry Freeman]

What a weak deflection.

The only thing "weak" around here is your ability to scrutinize the truth.

  Even if she had no clue where the building was in Dallas why would that matter when the media was reporting that the shots came from the TSBD ... Where her husband worked.

   

Marina then checks the blanket for a rifle.

  Marina 'said' she went and checked this blanket. Don't you understand that this testimony was rehearsed? Can't you comprehend that she did not speak English that well and that Mrs Paine was the sole source of information there? If there was a rifle in her own garage..why would Ruth not know about it?
