The Last Days of Lee Harvey Oswald: A Conversation with Ruth Paine
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ธ.ค. 2019
- As part of the “Four Days in November” program series to commemorate the 56th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented an intimate conversation with Ruth Paine, moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin.
A housewife in Irving, Texas, Ruth Paine met Lee and Marina Oswald in February 1963 and became a central figure in the assassination story. Marina Oswald and her daughters were living with Paine on November 22, 1963, and Paine had previously helped get Lee Harvey Oswald a job at the Texas School Book Depository. Oswald had hidden his rifle in her garage. Paine actively cooperated with investigators following the assassination, and she testified at length to the Warren Commission in 1964.
This conversation was presented at the Museum on November 19, 2019, in partnership with the Irving Archives and Museum/Ruth Paine House Museum. In 2009, the City of Irving purchased Paine’s former home and restored it to its 1963 appearance, where it is now open to the public as a museum.

Fabulous! Thanks sincerely for this program!
Great episode. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
The tour of her home was very interesting. Like going back in time.
why was she laughing and smiling so happy and loose in immediate aftermath of the events in the old Black and white interview clips , but 50 years later she is so emotional she needs a hug from the interviewer?
What does this comment mean? Obviously you have some conspiracy nonsense in mind. Please share.
@@bobbydazzler8684 no I do not, I am simply stating the dissonance between my psych degree education at UCSD and what I am witnessing in this video. @43:13 when the events in question have just transpired, she is smiling laughing , and even states how what has happened in her life regarding housing Oswald and marina “would ultimately not make a change in her life”
My point is just that if you have experienced a tragedy , like most of us have, would you be MORE or LESS emotional and despondent 50 years after the tragedy.
@@moprimo2389 Typical comment from someone who thinks they have special insight. You think your education has revealed something from watching a video. You have absolutely no idea what her state of mind is, and as someone who has supposedly got a degree in psychology, you'd know that you never offer any sort of diagnosis or opinion on a person you haven't personally treated.
@@bobbydazzler8684 I would just like to remind everyone.... its not the conspiracy theory, but the OFFICIAL theory, that the murder weapon RIFLE that used to kill JFK was found in to have been stored at Ms Pains home for some time , with no confirmed account of how LEE managed to bring over the Rifle to her house when he rode to her house everytime on Fridays with a coworker and never had anything except for Friday Morning "curtain Rods" package he had when showing up in the morning to meet his coworker in Irving , down the street before heading to work Friday morning. How was Ms. Paine cleared right away ? How do we know she did not conspire with LEE and supply , harbor and handle the rifle , why was her prints never checked? But by 3:00 Nov 22nd they had arrested Lees Coworker driver and tried to use police brutality to get him to sign confession until Midnight. This whole part of the investigation completely relies on circumstantial evidence that is the based COMPLETELY on the character witness of Ms. Paine , she seeks out Soviet Born Russian speakers ? how possibly could she have been cleared from being a Soviet spy agent during the cold war. Then for her to state in this interview that she was happy to hear LEE was shot and died ? Why so the public would never be able to hear 2 sides of the story that would possibly incriminate her at the very least as aiding in an assassination ? No WONDER Marina didn't want anything to do with her afterwards, How can Marina ever be sure that Ms Paine was not involved in setting up Lee or at least partnering in murder with Lee, she justifies Marina cutting off their friendship when she so easily said she it was good that Lee was shot and killed on live TV.
@@moprimo2389 Lol - conspiracy nut alert! What if, what if, what if. Provide a single piece of concrete, tangible and verifiable evidence that Ruth Paine isn't exactly who she says she is and I'll stop to listen. Otherwise, you're just constructing a theory that satisfies your inability to accept what's staring you right in the face.
How come they didn’t ask her why her Tax Returns from those years are still classified as Secret by the federal government?
Because you’d put two and two together.
As are LHO
@@marcuslaker5876lol these comments are laughable
As if mine are exclusive?
Excellent point
Thanks for another interesting presentation.
@YouthfulSage I still appreciate their making this interviews available. I take no position on what really happened, and I read between the lines where I think reading between the lines is warranted. I tend to see Ruth Paine as someone who was sympathetic to Mrs. Oswald because she saw Oswald as a poor husband. That's going to make her see him in the worst light. I know hers is a slanted view, but I have a more well-rounded view of the situation from having listened to what she had to say.
If only she hadn't known about the job opening at the book depository......
A fascinating interview but so many questions to be asked, thank you for this Stephen.
Ruth still tells everyone marina taught her Russian but she knew full reading and writing Russian before she meets the Oswald’s.
Correct.
She never implied that Marina taught her Russian. She's been clear that she had studied Russian well before meeting Marina - did an intense summer semester or something to that effect at Middlebury College. Ruth was always looking to improve her Russian and was delighted when she found Marina whose Russian was so excellent.
@@marymagdalene3004How convenient was that? I don’t think it was by accident that she speaks fluent Russian with a man who ends up killing President Kennedy.
The way I took that was that she was teaching Russian, but wanted to get better at it. This was a chance to speak the language with someone where it was her native language. Understandable.
@@marymagdalene3004 She said she desired to learn Russ from Marina. So...
Funny how the police knew it was Oswald only an hour later .
When something has been planned for more then a half a year every step was well known to the participants, since Dallas Police was on on it. Lee knew back in August they were going to do this to him. Read Judith Baker Vance’s book “ Me and Lee “
He tried to get out of the country after this event but even the prearranged pilot who was to fly him out of the country after the event was taken out in his plane. Nothing going on in anyone’s life was secret. Non of the many killings were coincidental even
ts.
Read Jim Marr’s book” Crossfire”, or “Mary’s Monkey “. Judith Baker Vance’s “ Me and Lee”.
Who is behind all those killings ? Certainly not a lone nut.
Lee had a good heart. He did not talk much. Not like Ruth Paine. She is pushing 90 still loves to tell her story that contains only partial truth. Her story is incomplete. Where did money come from to feed extra people and help buy diapers etc. Good Samaritan? LOL !!!
Well he was the only person who fled the scene, only a guilty man runs.
@@TheCleaner76 Running for an hour straight lol yeah no one else ran. Did you even try you loser
@@TheCleaner76 that's not how the justice system works at all.
@@mariahyohannes uh, he also shot a cop, same afternoon.
YES FINALLY MY FAVORITEEEE VID!!!!
She immediately had the tap taken off the phone after the assassination.
@Toni Felise: To one who is already a deep abiding believer of a conspiracy, every single last thing is suspicious, and gets cast in a sinister light, making it seem like it's evidence. It's not.
@@stddisclaimer8020 Lee Harvey Oswald had already attempted to assassinate a US Army General and had been interviewed by the FBI as such many Months prior to JFK.
@@doolittlegeorge And so...?
@@doolittlegeorge can you provide PROOF that Oswald shot at General Walker?
@@doolittlegeorge No. Somebody shot into an empty room at Walker's house and the bullet went through the wall into another room where Walker was. Two men were seen leaving in different cars. I think the gun/bullet was not the same as Oswald's guns. Marina was an incredible liar and not a reliable witness.
Also - why did she need to "learn the language" - seems like she translates pretty effectively for Marina from English into Russian already - just saying....
Her father was the stepson of the owner of Bell helicopters which stood to lose massively if Kennedy was re elected and pulled out of Vietnam. Her mother was a friend of Allen Dulles the one time CIA chief before Kennedy fired him. Her sister worked as a psychologist with the CIA and she met the Oswald's at one of George de Mohrenschild's parties. So yes not the goody two shoes Quaker she's cracked up to be.
@@stuartschneiderman8517 Jim DiEugenio has some very interesting stuff on this subject. Well worth checking that out. She certainly is not a goody two shoes and neither was her (estranged) husband ! I'm just reading DiEugenio's book "The Assassinations" - collected articles from the "Probe" journal he and Lisa Pease edited for years - a really great read...
She already knew Russian and had studied the language since '57, possibly even before Oswald did. She had trouble in conversational Russian, but that's not the same thing as an inability converse. It's not like being a trained interpreter in real-time back and forth. It means a lot of circumlocution. Furthermore, when you have someone--in this case Marina herself--as a live-in de facto tutor, progress in conversation can proceed at a very quick rate.
@@stuartschneiderman8517
There are a lot of underlying relationships that are obviously less than innocent. Whatever the scenerios at the time, Oswald was a pawn in the assassination of President Kennedy. The bottom line details are unknown because of the tangeled web of deceit surrounding the relationship between Oswald and the CIA.
Oswald's life was filled with peculiarity, and ambiguity, so it's not clear where the truth starts and stops. In order to lay blame on him for President Kennedy's assassination, the "power's that be" had to create situations and "evidence" that would point to him. No matter what was said or done back then, the President was killed, and Oswald was set up as the one who did it, and that's the bottom line. Then, there was the Jack Ruby connection, which also had a cloud of unclear relationships between him and the CIA. Then, there's the role of then Vice President Johnson, and his connection to President Kennedy's assassination.
For an outsider, looking in, the whole conspiracy was meant to confuse and keep people from knowing the truth.
During the end of the interview, 1:01:20, Ms. Paine was asked about Oswald's opinion of President Kennedy.
Oswald was a patsy, he didn't kill the President, OR "the office of the President".
Why did Oswald need to learn the language?
if I had house guests that I didn't know very well that the fbi was keeping tabs on, I believe I wouldn't have house guests any more 😳🤷♀️
😅🤣😭
@Natalee Huling QH`s
Or if you had such guests it would indicate that you are working with the FBI.
This woman is lying through her teeth.
I have thought that to be strange, also.
She had them as guests because she had a major job to do! She said she didnt have money, yet she was left the equivalent to 2.7 millions dollars in an inheritance. This woman knew so much and the warren commission shut it down!
The FBI wasn't keeping an eye on Oswald he was working for them and the CIA!! He had been working for them for years and anyone who knows what that was like back in those days let's just say if he had defected and gave Russia information he would have been locked up and interrogated!! What's funny about anyone believing this woman is she was involved in the assassination and cover up and her testimony can't be trusted due to the fact of her connections and the lies she has been forced to tell!! Just from listening to her speak and watching her body language there are an awful lot of signs of deception!!
Fabulous interview!
Not sure how this woman has avoided prison
Think again Einstein.
Ummm.... When you work for a certain government agency. 🤔 All she's had to do is keep to her story. Not hard.
@@jimmycricket5366 Very true 😂
@@captainkavern At least I’m not interviewing her like she’s some sort of innocent bystander 😂
I think the answer is obvious.
Should have asked her about her relationship with de Mohrenschildt.
Yes Ruth did not mention that she was introduced to Marina and Lee by none other than the enigmatic George DeMohrenschildt. Lee Oswald's best and only friend. A man now described by wikipedia as having "intelligence connections."
@@rustyshackelford9156 The host of the party was NOT de Mohrenschildt. He was there but the hosts of the party were Everett Glover and Volkmar Schmidt.
@@scottcarroll9201 ah yes I was mistaken, thought I read that somewhere. I'll edit the comment.
What good would that have done?
@@rustyshackelford9156 so shes guilty by association real intelligent commwnt Rusty
I’m just impressed she kept the same hairstyle for 60 years!
All I know is when the reporters in the Dallas PD HQ tell Oswald "You *HAVE* been charged" his face wasn't a look of resignation in being caught. It was pure anger at the set up. R.I.P L.H.O.
Ronbo710 Oh good grief 🙈🤷♂️
Rest in hell..
This is an incredibly good interview!!
Classic textbook misdirection..
@@aaronsmith5433 Funny she has CIA ties and after the assassination the police came to her house to search and she asked for the warrant cops said they didn't have one and she still let them in to search,why ask them then,also if Oswald fired 7 shots then why did he test negative on a pariphine test on his face,neck,arms and hands,Oswald's pariphine test can be seen by anyone it's public record now.
@@aaronsmith5433 So you're saying she was in on it too. Okey dokey.
@@figgybass You just can't reason with conspiracy buffs. They are wedded to the idea of conspiracy. They like every conspiracy they hear and read about.
@@figgybass no, Ruth was part of the American counterintelligence effort against KGB agent Lee Oswald and his KGB wife Marina 🇺🇸
Very interesting and engaging interview. Thank you for sharing this on TH-cam.
15:55
A really odd moment to me. The host brings up that nobody would be at the museum had Ms. Paine not helped in getting Oswald a job at the School Book Depository, almost in an applauding type way.
Im not saying Ms. Paine did ANYTHING wrong, but what happened that day was a TRAGEDY, not something great that brought the audience together.
The host just doesnt seem to get that. He almost seems cheerful. Idk, struck me as weird, maybe youll think so too.
The host has kids in his basement, 100%
Just because she's sure LeeOswald did try to kill JFK ..it doesn't mean there was also a second shooter which has been amply and forensically proven.
if we could read her thoughts from Friday morning to Monday evening after the burials of JFK, Oswald and Tippit, about how Marina was kept from her and no longer wanted to be her friend anymore, I think we can get the gist of why Ruth Paine was so dirty on Oswald for taking 'HER' Marina away from her.
For many years the Sixth Floor Museum was dedicated to showcasing the Warren Commission viewpoint. It's only in recent years that they began to present speakers such as Forensic scientists or medical examiners like Dr. Cyril Wecht and others of his experience to provide alternative views supported and substantiated by actual evidence.
And that's a good thing to see both sides of the Coin.
Yes, they're all like that. It can only be perceived correctly with the point of view that they're a museum of reflection preserving the incident for analysis while not living in an own lingering state of sorrow. Plus conducting relaxed interviews, keeping it impartial and not offensive while preserving their own relevance. I give them credit for "navigating" the challenges and the clear familiarity of data. I wonder their opinion of conspiracy (because of the irrefuting evidence of Oswald taking shots and the overwhelming testimonies of the fence area; I do wonder about the effects of echo.)
A remarkable, thoughtful, humble, and insightful person.
Too many coincidences with this woman: wanted to speak Russian, got them to Dallas, got him to book depository.
THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES!
Talks like a recruited specialty handler. This woman could get a job handling Kanye she's so deep in it
@@howiegruwitz3173 your CRT KKK hood is crooked
She was 100% involved in this crime 👍🏻
Her sister was/(is?) a CIA analyst....
She said it best at 17.39. “There were so many things that just happened you know.”
Love this interview
The "singer" she referred to as introducing Oswald to her was George de Mohrenschildt.
De Mohrenschildt was an accomplished man. Did not know he was a singer, too.
You mean the same de Mohrenschildt who wrote CIA director Bush a letter asking for his help, during the beginning stages of the HSCA? The same de Mohrenschildt who died under highly suspicious circumstances the day HSCA investigator G. Fonzi came to interview him? Yes, I’ve heard wonderful things about his singing, hasn’t everyone?
In a supposed lone nut case that altered the trajectory of History how is everyone so interconnected in Dallas on that day 1963? even by one or two degrees and many of the behaviors seem uncommon or unusual for the lay person back then; everyone's a specialist
how do crime scenes get automatically cleaned and turned into museums?
Jim Garrison later went on to become a judge. he penned a book. his research has pointed towards some truth: if you were only putting Oswald's wife up that ought to be dismissed eventually.
for 1963 Oswald seem to move around an awful lot: he's in Russia was he in japan? now he's in Dallas
@@mojoeye He was no loner, that's a fact.
The day Oswald allegedly ordered the rifle old Ruthys diary is marked with a X that day. When asked she said that was the day she was getting her period lmfao 🤣 yeah OK 👍
Did she have a phone or not? First she's too poor for a phone, so they wrote letters. Then when Lee goes to louisianna, the wife can stay as she has a phone. Which is it?
Yes, wasn't sure if I missed something or she meant The Oswalds.
The Oswalds didn't have a phone. Ruth had a phone.
Oh, so the first time anyone "found" incriminating evidence that Oswald took a shot at Gen. Walker was when the Secret Service showed up at Paine's door with a note written in Russian that they thought she could identify. When she did not identify it or the handwriting of it the Secret Service took license to consider this as evidence that Oswald tried to assassinate Walker. If Marina had identified it there would have been no reason to show it to Paine. Her refusal to identify it is indicative of the fact that she had never seen it before and that Marina had never told her about a "Walker incident". Could this have been a fabrication? Ruth and Marina passing things via the police......who knows what was inside this book? Who knows what may have been placed there in the process?
@Brian Rector: "Who knows" what's inside a head that's submerged deep in the fetid waters of the conspiratorial fever swamp?
@@stddisclaimer8020 You're right. A president has never been assassinated and who cares anyway huh
@@howiegruwitz3173 No one wrote (nor implied) that "a president has never been assassinated." Where you pulling up that crap from, the fever swamp?
@@stddisclaimer8020 So have you ever got a conspiracy theorist on here to answer even one single direct question put to them? All I still ever get in response are accusations of being a CIA plant, or demands in all caps that I shut up, or the occasional simple death threat.
@@aaronz7056 CT's are not equipped to answer questions, about their "theories." (I don't expect answers and never get them.) Seeing how no JFK conspiracy theory has any factual basis, all CTs can do is, kvetch and cavil, bitch and moan about the painstaking work of others (e.g. the WC) without ever having either the capability or the _cojones_ to advance their own parsimonious, cogent and viable theory of the crime. And if they ever did, that would lead to more "questions," and they can't have any of that.
In my opinion the sixth floor museum exists to maintain the cover story of the assignation and prevent real investigation and inquiry into the murder.
Stop reading Conspiracy books.
What an amazing Woman. Love that she's always remained level headed and doesn't buy any conspiracy BS. She was there at the time and knew the people involved.
She said Oswald didn’t like Russia because he couldn’t own a gun there, yet she had no clue that he did own a gun. Unlikely.
Oswald didn't care for the job the Soviets gave him, it was boring and repetitive. He also said there was nothing to do in Russia, not even a bowling alley or any other kind of recreational things to do.
What?
😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅
If the F.B.I. was closely watching Lee Oswald. Was it just a coincidence that President Kennedy drove by the Texas School Book Depository where Lee Oswald worked?
Yes. Also, the FBI were not watching him *that* closely.
Yes it was
Lee obviously got up and left early on purpose, in order to be able to get the gun out of the garage and bring it to Frazier's.
Buell never really scrutinized the package, a quick glance and when they got to work, he didn't see it much either, as he was reving his engine while Lee walked away. It was the gun, as Lee held the stock under his arm pit, with his hand grabbing the barrel. Whose holds curtain rods under an arm pit? Buell said it was 24-26 inches because he saw him at a distance and figured he was also holding the package from underneath with his right hand, as opposed to grabbing the side of it, that's how he came up with these measurements. He even admits he didn't pay much attention as he was looking at the trains that he enjoyed. It's too bad because it gave rise to needless speculation and conspiracy theories.
@@michaelarnold838 I know everything whereas you imagine everything
And...on a Thursday he hitches a ride to Irving with Buell - something he never did before and it was not his house and he knew that Ruth Paine did not want him there except on Sat. and Sunday just to visit his wife and kids. Very much out of place that. Then, he's so wound up he gets up early and walks to Buell's house which he never did before. Then, he carries this longish thing just like you would carry a rifle or shotgun. I mean, what was the hurry about getting the "curtain rods" from Paine's house? Like it couldn't wait until the next day to just go out to Irving as usual? When folks do things like this that are so out of the norm and so disjointed, it kind of sounds a loud alarm. And...Marina went to show them where he kept the rifle and IT WAS NOT THERE!!! No question that he did it. I think Paine said it best when she said that she surmised that Lee wanted to be a SOMEBODY and took advantage of a unique set of circumstances to bring him the mother load of notoriety! Or...even if other actors where involved in the shooting, to me, Lee was definitely one of them.
@@marymagdalene3004 I've yet to hear one conspiracy theorist explain how a conspiracy knew where the rifle was, how they knew Oswald would show up at the house Nov 21, how it could have known Oswald would suddenly possess that "curtain rods" package, how they made the rods disappear, how they knew he wouldn't just stand out on the sidewalk to watch the parade, etc.
@@marymagdalene3004 Agreed. Sums it up pretty well. Definitely one part, not necessarily the ONLY one in on the scheme.
The rifle was 41 inches minimum.
Even Buell, at 6ft 1. couldn't tuck it in there.
Very kind woman…but there’s something very odd as well.
👍
I agree but can’t think what
She’s a CIA agent. Too well spoken and the details of her story are too clear for someone her age. As an elderly lady who was just a casual witness she doesn’t even pause to think as if she’s remembering as she goes along her words just spill out.
@@tula1433 I mean “wow”! What situational awareness on your part! Never even thought of that.
Ruth’s family members are actually involved with CIA, so was Lee. They all help each other. It was no accident that Marina lived at her house while Ruth tried to learn the Russian language and later Spanish.
Ruth never wavered from the mainstream media mind controlled narrative as to who killed our president. Kept up the mind control game by the CIA into her old age. Shows she had a closed mind to real and accurate info by many who produced the real facts as varified in their books.
She certainly would have made a great Hollywood actress, where many play a convincing part. Yet it is a play never the less.
She's 87 years old here.. 89 now... Absolutely incredible

I found it macabre when Payne said " I'm glad he got killed", as if that's enough or justice: when it's well known he may have been part of a gallery of gunmen. What about his account of what happened in
court or having a defence lawyer? Very judgemental.
In 2018 I met with Ruth Paine in Santa Rosa, Ca.. She lives in a nice Quaker complex and we met in the lobby for about 90 minutes. I was starstruck! She's a lot taller than I thought, maybe 5'10", it was interesting. She mentioned although divorced from husband Michael for many years, he lives in the same building as her, right down the hall. He has complete Alzheimers and dementia, she takes care of him and said that he has no idea who she is and hasn't for quite sometime. It was interesting to speak to a person that close to the JFK Story.

Absolutely
Just like anybody with govt affiliation all they know is to lie. They make their mistakes or "tells" when telling the truth bcuz they aren't used to it
You people are hopeless, absolutely hopeless. You're going to cling to your madness of conspiracy theory because you're incapable of grappling thoughtfully with the topic. You'll never read Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History," or Gerald Posner's "Case Closed" or Jean Davison's "Oswald's Game" because your minds have become so polluted with nonsense you couldn't cope with those books.
wouldnt believe a word out of her mouth
You never leave the agency. Case and point.
As a CIA agent and already spoke fluent Russian before meeting Oswald,her husband as well and her and her husband worked for CIA and Bell helicopters,she and her husband was sent by the CIA too spy on Oswald who just came back from Russia with a new wife who has ties to the KGB being Ruth Paine already spoke fluent Russian so she could totally ease drop on conversations in Russian,and not knowing that Oswald was allegedly involved with the assassination this time tells DPD officers, I've been waiting on you guy's,but she didn't know Oswald was involved so how can she be waiting for them expecting them unless she was tipped off or apart of it because of the CIA and totally involved in the plot of the assassination and I don't believe a word she says because evidence proves she's lying threw her teeth just go research and investigate her and come to your own conclusions and remember the CIA connection that will come into play.

Open challenge to you: call a press conference TOMORROW, present your ironclad evidence this poor lady is a conspirator, secret agent, and traitor, and don't forget to bolster your own credibility by fearlessly challenging her not to sue you for libel.
Incredible set of circumstances that a simple gathering of some women leads to Oswald getting a job at the Texas School Book Depository right at the end of the motorcade on the way to the the Trade Mart. Oswald had also applied to two other places for employment in early October 1963 and did not get selected. How history would have been so different to this very day had Linnie Mae Frazier-Randall, Ruth Paine and Roy Truly not been involved in such a trivial matter like finding work for Oswald On a completely different note Steve you say the one living person you wanted to interview was Ruth Paine that's no quite accurate. The one person still alive who needs to be interviewed, before it's too late, is Marina Oswald. I believe she is 78 or 79 now and lives in Dallas so you need to get her in your oral history before it's too late. I know she is feisty but perhaps you can persuade her to an interview before it's too late. Also try to get June & Audrey (Rachel) Porter (Oswald's two daughters) and perhaps Robert Oswald (not sure if he is still alive?). Will be down to visit the museum as soon as you're allowed to reopen (P.S. I was 13 at the time and studied it relentlessly for the past 56+ years. Thanks for all you do)
Go watch the 2 Oswald's it will blow your mind,this lady is lying and doing it like she was trained to lie because records show different,go watch it and come to your own conclusion because it puts alot of thing's in place like a puzzle about LHO.
Marina is a KGB agent who has been operating under cover for 60 years now... Just like her husband Lee and his best friend George, except that they died during their mission or covering it up afterwards 🇺🇸

Intriguing woman, if there was a better interviewer this would have been a good interview. He missed the mark on this
Why her fascination with Russia? That is not explained in this interview at all. She comes off disingenuous at many points in this interview. Things are not adding up with her.
She was involved in student exchange in Russia to try to help peace relationships
What points Christine?
She seems believable to me, but I agree there are lots of areas that seem incredibly coincidental. She spoke at two foreign languages while living a seemingly mundane existence in Dallas TX and just happened to be housing the person accused of assassinating the president. She seems to despise Oswald and was very acquiescent with the CIA, but was she implying she was a communist sympathizer? I really don't now what to make of her. The interview was awful; he just read his list of questions, that she didn't seem surprised by and didn't follow any threads that came up in the process. Odd.
I am a U.S. citizen who has a deep fascination and love of England and British history, traditions, customs, etc. People get fascinated with other countries for various reasons. Your comment in saying that she comes off as disingenuous is just ridiculous.
michael mcqueen Thank you. My god, the stupidity when someone wants a conspiracy
The picture of Lee (and Marina) near the beginning doesn’t look like all the pics of him in Dallas.
Excellent interview. Great job by the interviewer.
Ruth Paine was married to Michael Paine the stepson of the engineer who started Bell Helicopter- JFK was pulling out of the Vietnam war, Bell was building Hueys as fast as they could to supply the War- there are no coincidences folks.
"In 1959 Michael Paine got a job with Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth, Texas[6] and the Paines moved into a house in the suburb of Irving (Michael Paine's step-father, Arthur M. Young, invented the Bell Helicopter). As liberals in Dallas, the Paines were isolated, and Ruth Paine was quite lonely".[4]
No there are not. Ruth is not who she was planted to be and remained undercover her whole life. How hilarious her husband was pulled out of her life
when she was set up with Oswald and then miraculously reappeared in her life for a number of years before a finale split. It’shameful how generations distantvfrom that travesty and horrible pain and grief of loosing Kennedy.
Exactly
Swell, what the hell has that got to do with the evidence in this case, which all points at Oswald?
@@mimigott5166 No evidence for this garbage.
Ask Ruth why her own daughter won’t speak to her
Where is the TH-cam disclaimer?
Interesting that she said she wanted to learn Russian from Marina - Ruth was already TEACHING Russian at the St. Mark's School by 1963. If you research Ruth Paine you will find that she was no ordinary housewife.
@TheHaratashi: If you research Ruth Paine further still, you will find no connection to nor any credible evidence of a conspiracy. You may adduce guilt by association, and guilt by proximity, which are logical fallacies; but those kind of things are all conspiracy pushers have with anyone.
Sounds just like Gerald Ford, " No credible evidence of a conspiracy, foreign or domestic."
Mike Pardue
@@rebeccapardue8438 For once, if not other times, Mr. Ford had a hunk of brain.
If the estimable Ms. Pardue is in possession of solid, credible evidence of a JFK conspiracy (which no one else has, despite 57+ years of searching), then she is advised to take her steaming pile of evidence down to the Dallas grand jury and prove her case before them. Failing that, Ms. Pardue can admit that in this case, Gerald Ford was right.
@@stddisclaimer8020 It's Mike Pardue, not Rebecca. My name is clearly on my last comment. See how easy it is to overlook things.
@@rebeccapardue8438 Yes, and you "overlooked" that Gerald Ford (at least in this instance) was correct. Not going down to the Dallas grand jury?
She supposedly befriended Marina to help her learn Russian when she already knew how to speak it. Incriminating evidence kept being 'found' in her garage after it had already been searched. She admitted she didn't like LHO. She was annoyed that Lee called her and asked her if she would help find him lawyer. She thought he should have one but she was surprised that he would ask something of her at that point. She was bothered that he used her typewriter without asking. She was in her garage the night of Nov. 21 painting but yet she didn't know about 'the' rifle being in the garage? And she assisted Lee in getting the job at the TSBD. A lot of curious connections.
Autshot20 You’re another conspiracy nut. She wanted to be more fluent in Russian. She spoke some but what better way to really learn a language than to be around someone who spoke it as their first language. Geez
*sigh* Alright let's take these one by one. Paine states in this interview her Russian wasn't very good and she wanted to get better. Immersing yourself in a language is the best way to learn it and being around a native speaker is a form of immersion.
What incriminating evidence found in her garage are you referring to? The rifle was disassembled and wrapped in a blanket. It didn't have a note on it saying "This is a rifle. DO NOT TOUCH!" EVERY PIECE OF EVIDENCE found at the Paines was corroborated by Marina, from the rifle to the backyard photos to the Edwin Walker notes, so unless you think Marina was involved in the conspiracy your accusation is meaningless.
She didn't like Oswald because she felt he was not a good husband. No grand mystery there. As for her being surprised he would ask something from her after killing the President of the United States I would think that would be a pretty normal reaction but your mileage may vary. She wasn't bothered he used the typewriter, she was bothered that he typed up a letter to the Soviet Embassy telling them the FBI wasn't interested in him when she knew damn well that they were.
Again, the rifle was disassembled and wrapped in a blanket. To anyone simply scanning the contents of the garage it would look like a normal, folded blanket. Finally, she assisted Lee in getting that job because Marina asked her to. If you want to invest that event with some sort of nefarious meaning then you have to believe that Buell Frasier's sister was also part of the plot since she's the one who told Ruth about the School Book Depository.
@@markstanley6876 Typical response, someone questions the circumstances involved in the situation and you label them a nut. Typical. She became interested in speaking Russian in 1959. She even taught Russian. And she just happens to befriend the wife of the person who would eventually be charged with assassinating the President of the United States? Of all the ways she could have developed her fluency in the Russian language, that is the option she chose? Coincidence? And what about all of the evidence that appeared to keep showing up in her small, one car garage? She stated she didn't like him very much. Is that an objective witness to what the setting was at her home?
@@scottcarroll9201 She wanted to improve her Russian, so she befriended Marina. That was her only means of developing her fluency? The incriminating evidence? The pictures of him holding the weapons. The communists material the DPD. The notes on Walker. It seems reasonable that if she was in that small garage she would have noticed a blanket that appeared to be wrapped around something. Didn't have to be label, RIFLE< LOOK IN HERE. She stated she never noticed the blanket. She never noticed the paper that Oswald supposedly used to wrap the rifle in. You are right, she didn't like him, it doesn't matter why. Some of these items were found after the garage had been searched. Pieces of evidence seemed to keep showing up after the garage had already been searched.
To use her as an objective witness to the circumstances involving Oswald is perhaps not the best way to reach a conclusion about what type of man he was. She said he had NEVER come out to the house on a Thursday prior to Nov. 21. That implies him showing up on Thursday 11/21 was completely out of the routine. That is not true. There is a record of him cashing a check at an Irving liquor store on Thursday, Oct. 31.
And she was bothered he had used her typewriter. She was bothered he had type the letter and that he had used her typewriter to do it. And Marina has changed her story on several pieces of the evidence over the years.
@@Autshot20 -Lone Nutters never look below the surface. Oswald was an actor he was playing a role as a Communist. LBJ was playing a role in the aftermath, as was was Dulles on The Warren Commission. Ruby was playing a role as an Avenger of The President's death, when in reality his life depended on killing Oswald who he stalked the whole weekend.Marina, and Ruby, both said there was a conspiracy,but they ignore that too.
You leave the police in your house to go food shopping . You are feeding the police ! This is crazy . You were too involved with Marina . Why ? You were concerned that she did not know that things were being explained to her. Marina was not a baby she spoke some English
Marina was a KGB agent, just like her husband ☝️

Watch from 15:25 for about a minute - seems like he somehow caught her off guard - almost as if she wanted the conversation to go a different way ?..... She seems flustered and "off-script" - perhaps she is lying ? He asked her about arrangements for Oswald visiting "with the family" - she seems confused about this but definitely wants to talk about how he got the job at the TSBD - she helped plant him there, so the patsy could complete his sheep-dipping. And at 16:15 we're back in the room and back to the "official" story.....
Great catch!
She arranged for Oswald to work at the Book Repository , amazing coincidence
In the real world she would serve jail time for assisting a terrorist
Yes, but that was weeks before the route Kennedy would take was known.
Not really. She said they were hiring. Oswald filled out and application and interviewed
No coincidence at all you don't listen good.
Not a coincidence. She works with the CIA.
How what George Washington said in his farewell address is dismissed so easily as naïve and that the USofA has had to be proactive in our defense is utter nonsense in the face of making the population think that we have to believe that national interests is justification for secrets. It is madness that now we have given up liberties that the gov’t first claimed we were fighting foreigners to protect those freedoms. Why have the people never questioned US selling weapons to kings? How were the people so quick to believe that it’s right to fight against a countries desire to be free of European colonialism. It is no different in fighting for ones right to say what he feels or believes even when you are certain he is wrong you must still fight for his right to say it. But we continue to give the gov’t a practical blank check to continue with their secrets. When at the very least the people should be starting to understand that a country that has secrets cannot possibly govern by rule of law!
USA has become the most aggressive imperialist state in the world today,quite an irony after the treason,sedition and rebellion committed by the Founding Fathers , emigrants from England, against their king, George III.

@sara lee excellent points you make! Anyone who has studied this event with an open mind can see that things don’t add up. The very fact that she was a blue blood yankee from up north, living in Jim Crow south, with connections to us intelligence, via her sister Sylvia in Falls Church, VA, and the Demohrenschildts, coupled with the fact she was learning Russian in a time where that was extremely uncommon, was visited by Col. JD Wilmuth who showed up at her door PRIOR to the Assassination to speak with Marina, the fact that she was later involved with PRO NICA in Nicaragua. She is ANYTHING but Susie Homemaker. Also her husbands connections/background alone are shady. The list goes on. But I’m sure it’s alllllll just a coincidence right? GTFOH!!!!

Amazing woman.
Lee and Marina Oswald had met Ruth Paine in February 1963 at a party in Dallas to which George de Mohrenschildt and his wife had brought them. I found that Ruth Paine was the wife of Michael Paine, an engineering designer who did highly classified work for Bell Helicopter, a major Defense Department contractor.
As a routine matter, I wanted to examine the income tax returns of Ruth and Michael Paine, but I was told that they had been classified as secret. In addition to the Paines' income tax reports, Commission documents 212, relating to Ruth Paine, and 218, relating to Michael Paine, also had been classified as secret on grounds of national security.
@@saukrates420 People's tax records are not public domain property.
@@aaronz7056really? That doesnt seem to be the case nowadays.
@@janetphillips2875 You'[re the same person who literally just asked me under another thread, "How old are you? You must be ten feet tall and bulletproof. I'm 58. How old are you?"... and then clammed up when I asked you what the heck has that got to do with anything...
Bored, travelling across the country. It was encouraged by The State Department. 2 year old with her. And who are her parents?
George de Mohrenschildte got Oswald the job at the Texas Book Depository. The friend that introduced her was actually George de Mohrenschildt, a CIA asset.
Her husband, Michael Paine, found employment as a research engineer with the Bell Helicopter Company, whereas Ruth was employed as a part-time teacher of the Russian language at St. Marks School in Dallas.
In 1963 Michael Paine left the family home. According to the author Jim Bishop (The Day Kennedy Was Shot), it was a "friendly estrangement". Ruth continued to live in Irving and at a party in February, 1963 she was introduced to Marina Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswald by George De Mohrenschildt. On 24th April, 1963, Marina and her daughter went to live with Ruth Paine. Lee Harvey Oswald rented a room in Dallas but stored some of his possessions in Ruth Paine’s garage. Ruth also helped Oswald to get a job at the Texas School Book Depository.
Buddy Walthers took part in the search of the home of Ruth Paine. Walthers told Eric Tagg that they "found six or seven metal filing cabinets full of letters, maps, records and index cards with names of pro-Castro sympathizers." James DiEugenio has argued that this "cinches the case that the Paines were domestic surveillance agents in the Cold War against communism."
Ruth Paine was a key witnesses for the Warren Commission and provided detailed information on the activities of Marina Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswaldbefore the assassination. Jim Garrison later suggested that Ruth Paine might have been involved in setting Oswald up as the "patsy". Garrison points out that Paine's father " had been employed by the Agency for International Development, regarded by many as a source of cover for the C.I.A. Her brother-in-law was employed by the same agency in the Washington, D.C. area." He also claims that he had tried to "examine the income tax returns of Ruth and Michael Paine, but I was told that they had been classified as secret.... What was so special about this particular family that made the federal government so protective of it?"
Mr. Ted Schurman, advised me that Michael Paine was employed by Bell Helicopter as a research engineer and he held a security clearance. Bell Helicopter had a vested interest in the ongoing war in Vietnam where there Huey Helicopter were in service. It was in Bell's financial interest to have Kennedy eliminated because of Kennedy's plan to withdraw all US personnel by the end of 1965 (See: NSAM 263)
Bell helicopter was verging on bankruptcy on Nov 22, 1963.

Never enough time for questioning but great piece of history. Stephen does a well job.
Yes like wind up Ruth she will talk forever .
so what about this:
It was Ruth Paine who had arranged to drive Lee Harvey Oswald’s family from New Orleans to the Dallas area.
It was Ruth Paine who had timely managed Oswald to get a job in the Texas Book Depository Building which turned out to be situated on the Presidential motorcade route of November 22, 1963.
It was Ruth Paine who failed to advise Oswald that a better paying job was available to him than the one to which she had arranged to get for him at the Texas Book Depository Building.
It was in Ruth Paine’s garage where the rifle was supposedly stored that allegedly belonged to Oswald and was asserted to have been used by Oswald to kill Kennedy.
It was in Ruth Paine’s garage in which other incriminating evidence against Oswald was reported to have been stored.
It was the role of Ruth Paine and Michael Paine, both of whom purported to be committed to civil liberties, to join the authorities in designating Oswald as the assassin without his having had been offered even a suggestion of due process before he was conveniently killed while in police custody.
hmmmmm what about all that? how's this woman so front' n center in all of this, just seems weird, in so many ways actually....
So what about this: call a press conference TOMORROW, present your ironclad evidence this poor lady is a conspirator and traitor, and don't forget to bolster your own credibility by fearlessly challenging her not to sue you for libel.
I like your cabinets. I had very similar cabinets, 1959 Woodmode I took out of a carriage house. These are Woodmode.
The most intriguing part of this starts at about 37:40 with Ruth and Michael Paine on the day of the assassination...I never saw that part of the clip before. I fortunately got Ruth Paine to answer a letter (about 6 months after I sent it) to an address I had for her in California. She wrote back such a nice letter and signed it "Ruth Hyde Paine". I will always treasure it.
Micheal Paine had a security clearance required for his job at Bell , his name was on the deed of the house, how was it that he was just timely enough to not be living withthe soviet defector guests in his house just before and after the assignation. Im sure that would have been a breech of his contract being so closely tied to soviets

SO??? Here we are almost 58 YEARS after this event and conspiracy theorist are still just throwing out just loose words and ideas with their "anything goes" approach and never able to play out what they are saying. Funny that for the first (non-police or Fed) interviews Ruth and Michael Paine gave on TV the very day Oswald was killed (November 24) conspiracy theorist would think they would bury and cement Oswald as "an unstable, crazy, time-bomb, Kennedy hating, gun obsessed, super-Communist motivated nut" and instead, in separate interviews they practically said the OPPOSITE.

@@aaronz7056 There was NO conspiracy. The only person involved and knew shots would be fired at the motorcade was Lee Harvey Oswald! I don't find any proof anyone but Oswald himself was involved. I was 16 when the assassination occured and have been studying it off and on ever since. In 1964 I was impressed with Mark Lane's Rush To Judgement which attempted to throw water on Oswald's involvement. But by the 40th anniversary in 2003 it became crystal clear to me no one but Oswald was involved. The facts that one can absolutely nail down is just three shots all from the 6th floor window and from an Italian Carcano bolt action rifle which belonged to Oswald. Since Mr. Truly was a bit skeptical about hiring Oswald, but did, and Oswald worked there and the rifle found absolutely belonged to Oswald and it's easy to prove the three shots came from that building and all the ballistic tests PROVE all fragments, spent shell casings and CE399 the magic bullet were fired by Oswald's rifle, it is just natural to assume the person who fired those shots killing Kennedy and wounding Connelly WAS LEE HARVEY OSWALD! Occam's razor really does cut to the chase!

Excellent job Stephen!
The light was ON the night before 😮
Few things I took away from this.
▫️There were times where she was speaking about LHO quite fondly and almost had to remind herself he’s meant to be the ‘bad guy’.
▫️Given the tensions of the Cold War she seemed awfully at ease to house a Russian defector and his wife at her home and deal with the FBI like it was the milkman asking for money.
▫️The fact that not only JFK conspiracy researchers think she has CIA links but the Nicaraguans did too! 😂
▫️Her bemusement of Garrison’s chalk board describing the CIA training people in swamps which then drew laughter from the Ruth Paine fan club in the audience. I’d expect confusion to occur for her if Garrison had chalk board diagrams of the CIA training people how to play Twister; but given what we know about clandestine CIA involvement overseas I’m struggling to understand why training people in swamps drew the hilarity it did.
All in all, an entertaining interview but would I trust her - nope.
Right on. She plays innocent and being a loving person to Marina. Makes me wonder if she was on the CIA payroll at least to foot her grocery bills to feed the Oswalds. Most average people can not afford this even now.
Plus she does not have all the facts about how many sniper nest there were from grassy knoll, picket France area, and sewer line covers,

It's never dull, reading the comment threads on anything related to JFK's death. So many experts analyzing Ms. Paine's eye movements, facial tics, etc., etc.... All this collective genius and nothing to show for it. Must be frustrating to chase your tails for fifty years and catch nothing.
It is the conspiracy nonsense that ends up debunked that gets conspirators off the hook. Whether in a court of law or in the court of public opinion, the introduction of fabricated evidence will lose your case... As for me, I don't see myself as a conspiracy theorist, but as a conspiracy analyst, and I do see evidence of a broader conspiracy beyond the abilities of Oswald... It only takes the involvement of two or more people to make something a conspiracy. It's not like literally everybody has to be in on it.
@@jade59230 And I don't see a stitch of evidence that anyone else was "in on it." These conspirators were so inept that their conspiracy was 'known' from the beginning, yet in fifty-plus years not one ounce of definitive proof as to identity, means, etc..? So they're so clumsy they couldn't disguise the conspiracy, yet so clever they managed to avoid detection? Good grief... Add to that their choice of stooge, a depressed douche bag who couldn't launch the escape without killing a cop; good choice, by geniuses so good at choice-making that, again, their jig was up almost the moment it happened, yet here they still are, free from justice half a century later. (And let me guess.. they were all MURDERED by the deep state!! To keep them all quiet...!!!!)
Every conspiracy theory is so ludicrous and half-baked that it requires a real desire to live in paranoia. Instead, try not allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good. Was the investigation perfect? No, but few are. Prosecutors and investigators, whether at the local or the federal level, are human, and they rush things, make mistakes, miss things, have gaps in their analysis, whatever. (Unlike conspiracy peddlers, who are so far from good that their 'analysis' long ago stopped being worth the price of the books they publish.)
I give the conspiracy angle--whatever it was and however it possible could have been pulled off--a 1% chance of being legitimate. Show me irrefutable evidence of other men, in exact places, doing exact things, at exact times, with no room for variation or interpretation, and then we can talk. I'm sure you're a sincere person, but almost six decades of this nonsense is well more than enough.
@@wolfwilliams The Warren Commission Report concluded that Oswald was the lone gunman or actor. Would you agree then that Oswald was extremely lucky as a lunatic? Did he win the lunatic lottery?.. My problem with the lone gunman theory is that the target was brought to Oswald. It really does look like Kennedy was delivered straight to his assassin on purpose... Oswald was in a fixed position for 30 days before he could have known what the exact motorcade route would be, and yet he was in the perfect position far in advance. Then Kennedy was brought right to him... Only a few people in Washington could have known what the exact motorcade route would be a month in advance... If the Kennedy assassination was not an inside job, then what happened is an evil miracle... Can you think of a similar event that took place?.. Off the top of my head, I am thinking about how Robert Kennedy and Sirhan Sirhan ended up in the same place at the same time with a deadly result... Maybe most assassinations look like a conspiracy when it was just an crime of opportunity. Someone who is very troubled or offended is in the perfect position by fate alone, they see that, and they act out on their own. Inspired by the opportunity they have... Then when people look around, and see how the victim's enemies benefited, they suspect a conspiracy... I can look at this multiple ways, and understand where other people are coming from.
@@jade59230 In a random universe, there is no need for a mathematical explanation of every event. A few weeks ago a woman was walking in Manhattan and a piece of a building fell off and crushed her. It just so happens that she was a prominent Manhattan real estate broker. What are the odds that a prominent Manhattan real estate broker would be walking past the exact wrong place at the exact wrong time to be killed by a falling piece of Manhattan real estate, a manner of death that occurs so rarely as to be akin to a lightning strike? Answer: Who gives a shit what the odds are? Math has its uses, but one of them is not to help explain the inexplicable coincidences that occur all over the world every day. Not every oddity has to be explained to the satisfaction of every incredulous bystander. Shit. Happens. The JFK motor route was published a few days prior to Nov. 22, and maybe LHO saw it and seized his moment. Does it require more complexity than that? If you're a naturally suspicious type, then maybe it does. The Zodiac killer got away with killing Paul Stein because some SFPD dispatcher made a mistake and said the killer was black, and two SFPD officers drove by a white guy leaving the crime scene and never questioned him. Zodiac laughed at the cops in one of his later letters, saying they spoke to him and let him go. Do we need math to explain why this one time a dispatcher got a description wrong, or a conspiracy theory that tries to explain an SFPD murder cover-up? Or did something unfortunate just happen to happen at exactly the most inopportune time?
@@wolfwilliams Did that piece of building receive any advance press involving foreign intrigue? Did the death of the real estate broker result in any domestic or foreign policy changes?.. Maybe I've seen too many episodes of Columbo... I want to see a couple made for TH-cam movies. One titled: Columbo Investigates the Kennedy Assassination, and the other titled, Columbo Investigates 9/11... What would you consider smoking gun evidence? What would you consider too much to be believed? What would make you incredulous about the establishment narrative about any story? What is your pass or fail test when you watch the news?.. I draw the line at plausibility. Anything may be possible, but not just anything is probable... Could O.J. Simpson be innocent? Possibly, but it's not plausible... In a court of law, jurors are supposed to decide what is probable, not merely possible. I think that's reasonable, as in reasonable doubt or reasonable suspicion... Was the O.J. jury verdict split along racial lines? Is the JFK verdict split along political lines?.. That's how it looks to me... I think we can both agree about this much. Neither one of us likes conspiracy nonsense. Like the debunked magic bullet myth, and multiple shooters. We both agree that in all likelihood, Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President Kennedy... Even when I was in my teens I saw major consciousness of guilt on the part of Oswald. He was the only one who fled the scene of the crime, and he was so desperate to get away, that he murdered a police officer, then tried to hide in a movie theater. In the police station? he was very sheepish or passive for a man who was under suspicion for murdering an American president... If you or I were falsely accused of such a thing, we would be enraged and beating up the police, not the other way around. Innocent suspects act one way, they're very offended and angry, while guilty suspects keep their cool. Innocent people don't try to get away, while guilty people usually do... I've never been on the Oswald as innocent patsy bandwagon... HE DID IT. My only question is whether or not he acted alone? I still don't believe that it's plausible that he acted alone, or that he was just extremely lucky. Or that Kennedy's enemies were extremely lucky. That Oswald was not associated with any Kennedy hating Republicans or Kennedy hating Democrats. That was extremely convenient for Kennedy's enemies. Oswald being the killer was and is just too perfect.
She said she didn't know Oswald had a gun. She also stated at the first meeting with the Oswald couple at a party, that he left Russia because he wasn't allowed much freedom, that in Russia he was not allowed to own a gun. 😏
The commission spent a lot of time asking her questions because her version of events didn't make a lot of sense.
They were not going to make him a celebrity. Pissed him off. The only skill he had was shooting a guy and cleaning toilets. Total loaer
She was the Best Friend!
Lifetime CIA asset. Still on the job here.

Edward, absolutely!!!!!!!
She's a Liberal so you know she's a liar.
She was a part of it with her left wing leanings.
Bullshit
Not really. Not in the least in fact is History's understanding. Anyhow this will be and still remains the most watched event in Human History. "Quite the out-ing for this thing called Television." Her thoughts on that would be of course most interesting absolutely.
