"The blanket being found still rolled up with all the strings still tied around it is indicative of conspirators stealing rifle as quickly as possible after entering the Paines garage in the early 2 am hour on Nov 22/63"
I think the blanket being found still rolled up with all the strings still tied around it is indicative of the thief conspirator stealing rifle very carefully so that the it would appear to the casual glance that the rifle was still in that blanket. Now WHO could have known the rifle was there in that blanket....Lee Oswald, Marina, Oswald, Ruth Paine,and Mike Paine .....we can eliminate Lee Oswald...because if he had taken the rifle, he wouldn't have taken care to make it look like the rifle was still there, he would have simply taken the rifle and tossed the blanket with the rest of his belongings there in the garage..... We can also eliminate Marina Oswald... she also wouldn't have carefully removed the rifle, and she had no way of transporting the rifle anywhere..... Ruth Paine is also not likely....because she would probably have been afraid to touch the evil rifle.....But she's not totally eliminated..... That leaves... Mike Paine....He is highly suspect.... He helped unload the station wagon when Ruth and Marina arrived from New Orleans....He probably is the one who removed the rifle from the car..... so he would have known what was in the blanket. He wouldn't have wanted Lee to know the rifle was not in the blanket so he would carefully have removed it and left it looking as though the rifle was still there.
Well if the rifle had been removed as early as Oct /63 as per Mrs Paine possibly remembering seen the blanket as flatter in appearance than the rifle in blanket presented to her during her WC testimony
Then it could be the rifle was already in the custody of the FBI or the CIA courtesy of MrPaine
Purpose?
A contingency plan in case the unthinkable plot might occur by some of their own CIA element? Blame the defector nut as well as Communist ideology
Yet since The “nut might actually have been an asset for them for their defector scheme to infiltrate USSR
They preplant this MC rifle with misaligned scope at least give their soldier a possible chance to be acquiited by reasonable doubt
The shooting of the patsy later was therefore an unexpected event by mafia Jack Ruby for reason the patsy also was liability having been used them as well as a “mule” hence the package being cocaine or heroin
