The only way Ruby would have done the hit in the 1st place was because they threatened to hurt/kill his family if he didn't play ball. That remained an outstanding threat up until his death. He was protecting them to the end. Otherwise, why lie about never knowing/meeting Oswald before? And how could he have known that Oswald was never in his club before? No way he could be sure of that. And what about his other interviews where he hinted that the powers that be were keeping him silent? He was trying way too hard to dispel any connections to a conspiracy. If there was no threat to him or his family, then why walk on egg shells when denying conspiracy rumors? And why would anyone believe htiman Ruby was a lone nut gunman who shot another lone nut gunman on a whim? That's 2 too many lone nuts for my liking.

I agree.  Ruby was either whacked in the head or there has to be more to his actions.
He was concerned enough with Kennedy that - according to one witness anyway - he went to Parkland Hospital.
He was so concerned re Kennedy that he was among the reporters covering the story.  So concerned, he corrected Wade re
the Fair Play for Cuba statement.  So concerned, he brought sandwiches to the police.  So concerned, he orchestrated radio
coverage about the event and yet .... showed NO CONCERN when Oswald was to be transferred at 10 a.m. because he didn't
show up then but, by happenstance, he did show up exactly when the transfer was about to occur.

One thing is for sure..With a room full of professional newsmen...on top of it reporters---If that is indeed Jack Ruby who said that...[How do we really know for sure?] He was the only one who seemed to know about Fair Play for Cuba.

Of course JR was just a concerned citizen and he wasn't stalking Oswald at the DPD ::)

Oh, Henry?  Is that you who frequented Ruby's establishment?

At 12:01 am 11/23/63 ......  Ruby calls to Dallas DA Henry Wade.... "Henry, that's the Fair Play for Cuba Committee"

Thank You, Jerry.

Even Gerald Posner chronicles that JR took credit for the Fair Play statement  at footnote 119...

https://books.google.com/books?id=vV29AAAAQBAJ&pg=PT209&lpg=PT209&dq=ruby+at+the+press+conference+correcting+wade++fair+play&source=bl&ots=uPXbm8mb5r&sig=ACfU3U0QcYaldXrhDZwaqjzfAq8qvTHpuw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjH4KjfvOXnAhVEb60KHaBJDcYQ6AEwBXoECAUQAQ#v=onepage&q=ruby%20at%20the%20press%20conference%20correcting%20wade%20%20fair%20play&f=false

The primary point is:....  Jack Ruby called out to Henry Wade using Wade's  first name....   "HENRY, That's the Fair Play For Cuba Committee".

Wade denied that he and Ruby were good friends.

Just to add to this thread ...


Press agent, Jack Ruby?  Tip regarding, Oswald?

It certainly would appear that Jack Ruby had involvement prior to his shooting of LHO.  He provides a "tip" to KLIF radio station (at  5:45).  That in itself is unusual since he became the killer of LHO soon thereafter!   In other words, it doesn't happen by happenstance but by clear and deliberate motive and action.     In my opinion, Ruby was a very important player.  What makes people believe he was a great patriot for what he did?   What we do know is that he owned a night/stripclub, had typical mafia connections and also enjoyed the company of Dallas Police officers who came to his club to drink and party and enjoy the nightshows he hosted!   In and of itself, that means nothing.  However, he could easily have ties to organized crime figures like Carlos Marcello or even to those police officers that frequented his club.  It seems Kilgallen was chasing this thread to New Orleans?

Dorothy Kilgallen was a great conspiracy theorist who bucked the trend that LHO acted alone and felt that the key to uncover the truth was to be found in Jack Ruby.   She attended the trial and met with defense attorneys Belli and Tonahill etc.  That can't be denied.  In fact, she wanted to write a book and make a movie after what she saw or heard.   She thought she could expose the lies and besides, she was a close and personal friend of JFK himself.   She seemed to enjoy the good life and was sharp - even up to a day or so before her death.    Was the way she died the way of the rich? or was it an accidental suicide?  She seemed to have a lot going for her.  The claim made in the video posted below seemed to indicate she had a drink with alcohol mixed with 3 different barbiturates.  This same fate would appear to coincide at the time with the death of Marilyn Monroe and Woolworth heir Donahue.  It seems the rich Woolworth family including Barbara Hutton had a lot of untimely deaths - drug OD - happenstance!   Truth is, what a better way to knock someone off by slipping something into their drink and make it appear as a suicide. 

What is odd about her death is that all the research she had done for her upcoming book and possible movie all disappeared.  If she had serious evidence and nothing she had was true, why was it slid under the carpet and no traces found of it?  Normally, there should be nothing wrong with exposing it.    Instead, it became a dead end and anything she had collected, shredded.   

As CTers, that is what is most disturbing.  You don't have to look any further than many happenstances which just seem to get rid of people at convenience.  Whether it is accused leaker Seth Rich dying while jogging (no perpetrators found) or a "suicidal" Jeffrey Epstein hanging himself while cameras record nothing and guards sleep.   Hilary Clinton can pound apart her devices so no one can look at them and the Steele Dossier doesn't even enter into the investigation of the Mueller Report!   Life seems to be filled with happenstance which never gets investigated and you are lead to believe are non-issues.

If you follow much of the newspaper articles done by Kilgallen and reported by Mark Shaw in his video "a reporter that knew too much", it follows that things have been hidden and remain hidden because truth hurts.   The fact that the "TSBD Museum" will only allow Jack Ruby defense trial transcripts to be entered into their archives at  their terms and control, suggests that they only want LHO narrative as a LNer to be posted for the public to see and to continue evidence manipulation.  What makes it so important that people are NOT allowed to see all evidence and form their own opinions and conclusions?   What is so critical about controlling the narrative?   A lot of good information is contained In Mark Shaw's video!  I know it is long but is well worth the watch as he shows columns that Dorothy Kilgallen wrote and quotes them on screen.
