Ruth Paine Has Passed Away
Richard Smith:
Have any of the CTers added Ruth Paine to their list of "mysterious deaths"? It took a long while, but the death squad apparently got to her before she could talk. She was next on the list after Clint Hill.

She goes to Central America in the 1980s to protest US policies in the region. She's very critical of the CIA and support for the Contras; she works with her church group to aid the campesinos in Nicaragua; she withholds some of her "war" taxes in protest to those policies.
This (and much more) shows she is not someone who would conspire with essentially fascists in a coup of JFK.
What's the conspiracy response? That is, those conspiracists who think she helped frame Oswald? Well, she was still undercover, she was pretending to hold anti-CIA views and besides she went there to spy for "Langley." She was still an active CIA asset. So in conspiracy world the evidence that she was a liberal/leftist and not someone who would join up with neo-fascists/militarists is evidence that she actually wasn't a liberal/leftist and would join up with them. Up is down and down is up.
To put it differently: We have a film of the assassination, an autopsy was performed, there are photos and x-rays, the Connallys said they were hit with blood and brain matter from the shot (how could a back of the head blowout cause that?) and STILL they insist the wound was in the rear of JFK's head not the top/side. We are supposed to ignore this physical evidence? Yes, because evidence that it was on the top/side of the head - and not another shooter - is evidence that it was in the back and that there was another shooter.
It's hopeless trying to reason with this mindset.

My impression of Ms. Paine is a very poor one- It is strange but not surprising to see how benignly she is treated in the general media- I would like to know if she was ever asked how She and Marina got the rifle back from New Orleans in her car but neither of them never noticed it? And Yes, she can pretend that she didnt say to the Police at her door step on the afternoon of 11.22.63 that she was expecting them but all of the responding officers know she said it .... Amazing that every critical piece of evidence of a lone nut assassin touched Ruths hands-
Bill Binnie:
I was hoping there would be one brave lone nutter who would take a crack...
Bill Binnie:
That is a very willful distortion of the truth- Gosh
