Why Was Oswald Killed?

[Jerry Freeman]

Ruby was a nut-job, simple as that. In his twisted mind, he'd be celebrated as a hero and let go.

Well double check that...  https://www.jfkassassinationforum.com/index.php/topic,2388.msg77117.html#new

LBJ realized that it would be very risky for Oswald to have a trial by jury. If  Oswald was a CIA asset, then termination was better than exposing CIA connection to Oswald and Oswald himself perhaps testifying of his prior activity in the USSR as part of the defector program which few of the regular public knew existed in 1963. There could be a chain reaction of death to CIA agents who might be exposed by Oswald naming some names.

Since the prevailing attitude of the counter intelligence CIA director, James Angelton was that National Security takes precedence over the constraints of the US Constitution, its easy to see why they might have made the decision to have Oswald terminated and to deflect that action being blamed on CIA, they forced Jack Ruby, their Mafia intelligence insider to do the job, and to do it on camera as well, so as to make it appear that the Mafia was behind the JFK assassination.  Jack wias probably promised a new identity and a fake death certificate, only Jack found out a little later that he REALLY WAS going to be dead.

LBJ realized that it would be very risky for Oswald to have a trial by jury.

Yes that's probably very true.... BUT I doubt that LBJ ever seriously entertained the idea of Lee Oswald being tried.  I'm sure that he wanted Lee silenced ASAP.  He was probably very disappointed that Lee had been allowed to leave the TSBD alive... and doubly disappointed when Lee was still consuming oxygen when he left the Texas Theater....

And when "they" let Lee stand up in front of the entire world in the police station to say anything he wanted.

Such a huge conspiracy, yet they'll allow that to happen.

Lee was of the opinion that he was going to be allowed to escape to Cuba .   He didn't know that JFK had been murdered... " The first I heard that was when the reporter in the hall asked me that question".... Lee Oswald.... Midnight   11/22/63

Since Lee thought that he was working undercover and the plan was that he would wind up in Cuba,  he would never have volunteered any information that would jeopardize that plan.....  Although he did request that"Someone" come to his legal defense.

What are your thoughts regarding this?

Here is what his wife Marina wrote about this:

It was a great sorrow for me to be left with two little babies, not knowing English, and without any money. Bit I thought that if my husband actually did this deed, God judged correctly.

CE 994

I tend to agree with her about this subject.

I’m not sure what this means.

That God arranged to have Oswald shot?

I had trouble accepting that narrative as completely genuine.
One thing...at the bottom of part -17- [page 612] --"We named our daughter June in honor of the month of June, the month in which the life of one more human being in our family began."

June Oswald was born February 15 1962 according to the timeline on record--

Which...if in fact-- would make her 58th birthday tomorrow at the time of this post.
I wouldn't think Marina would forget her own daughter's birthday.
