Let's Chat: 'The KEY' to JFK's Assassination: Ruth Paine #jfk #leeharveyoswald #letschat #bookchat

Join me for a little chat about a fascinating documentary!

Is Ruth Paine an innocent Quaker woman who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was she a government agent who played a strategic role in the JFK assassination?

The assassination of JFK holds an abiding place in the heart of Americans, and more than 60 years later, the questions linger. This documentary by Max Good focuses in on one personality- Mrs. Ruth Paine, wife of Michael Paine - and considers questions like:

* Who is Ruth Paine?
* What was her role in the lives of Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald?
* What are her affiliations and connections?
* What actions did she take that make people suspicious that there's more to the story?
* Why do people think she may have been a government agent, sent to "babysit" the Oswalds during a critical season?, and
* "Where is she now?" - a real-time look at this fascinating woman who was 90 at the time of this documentary

I anticipate that we will divide this 1 hour, 40 minute documentary into three chatty discussions. Please add your insights and questions in the comments!

Come back, to discuss the documentary and these questions together, for the following three episodes!

This is fascinating. This has reminded me of something I watched a number of years ago about Oswald’s last phone call from prison and the two men who stopped him from getting through to the man he was supposed to contact. The amount of intrigue and the number of people connected to exposing truth who mysteriously died underscores that it was not a one man and done case. Thanks, Jess. Looking forward to this discussion.

Ruth claimed that she was learning Russian and hoped Marina could help her with that. Years later it’s discovered that Ruth taught Russian at a college in the late 50s.

Wow! Another source! Another angle! Please continue, Jess!

Thank you for telling about the interview of Ruth Paine. I have read several books on the assignation of President Kennedy and there is always stories of Ruth Paine in them. It is hard to believe her meeting and taking in of Marina Oswald and her children is by chance. This is fascinating. I love these chats. Please keep them up.

There are people you could call "busy bodies" and then there's Ruth Paine. Waaaay to convenient. Definitely something to it. Great video!

Heading over to Amazon to watch this! So interesting, thanks for informing us of this! Nothing about the Oswald lone gunman story really ever made sense to me.

Madeline Duncan Brown's (LBJ's mistress) interview and what she says about the gathering at Clint Murchinson Jr house on the eve of the assassination is one of the most important insights on what parties were involved. She recognized most of the attendees and it becomes immediately clear that these people would never be seen in public with each other. We should keep in mind when studying the JKF assassination that scores of people associated with this event, either being a witness or someone with crucial information, were killed in very odd circumstances. This continued for many years after 1963.

Oswald’s testimony: “I’m a patsy!”
The man was “sheep-dipped”…military intel to cia from the beginning. Knew he was in hot water when the police ran past him on the stairwell, went to his ‘handlers’ meeting place - the theater and did what he could to prove he wasn’t going to shoot (so the police would have to unalive him), thus he uses his hands (not a weapon) to attack the police nearest him.

The movie: The Package (1989, Gene Hackman, Tommy Lee jones) explaines well how you can take a soldier, make him think he’s part of some other operation, place him in the right place at the right time, and pow - they have their “patsy”.

Jess.. JFK assassination theories are a favorite! Ruth is probably one of the few living players from that time. Thank you for your review.

[psmith]

Im glad you're doing this. I don't own a television, by choice, so you're keeping me up to speed ❤

[sanzbozo]

I would love more on this subject! Yes, please! I'm a Kennedy junkie, so you're speaking my language. Thank you

[robertlutgen]

I like how you read and react to stories. Was mad at Texas folks for a small while JFK, Cowboys and ex leaving me for a Texan.
You are a nice and genuine Texas lady. Heartfelt tears you have during readings. It’s touching

The reason why Ruth is still alive and well today is because she keeps her mouth shut . She knows everything .

[kungazopa]

Thank you Jess. I so enjoy your videos and like that you are working from your home environment instead of a studio. So much friendlier. Glad to see more videos from you. Bye for now Pam

[Eyespy]

I’m really enjoying this informal format, it’s friendly and keeps serious topics interesting.

[allamuchy-maryrenaud]

Jess -What a pleasant surprise. I love the talks on these interesting topics. I feel like I am just chatting with a friend. I enjoy your take on what you are discussing. Sometimes just a different perspective makes one thing better. I have seen the Ruth Paine Documentary before but now I want to watch it again. There are some very interesting discussions on American Untold Stories channel.
Mark interviewed Max about the films making and again on how the film was received.
Try to catch them.
I hope you will keep your channel just the way it is "Real"
Thank you

[dianemcgill]

What a delightful surprise Jess. Thank you. You are a woman after my own heart... curious and digging deeper. This was such fun. Please oh please continue. I will rent the movie tomorrow and excited to watch it. My understanding is that when Ruth Paine testified before the Warren Commission she talked about the party where she met the Oswalds and talked about her husband and Lee were talking in one room and she and Marina were in the kitchen speaking Russian meaning she didn't need any help with Russian because she already spoke it fluently. Thanks again Jess.

Very happy to have discovered your blog. You do a thorough job in your discussions.
