There is a guy named Chris Peeks, who went to the University of Alabama, Birmingham who thinks the contention that Jack Ruby was innocent is laughable. We're going to see. 

Let's start with the caliber of his thought. 

Chris Peeks Ruby was in bed at 10. We know this roommate and phone records and the western union wiring money to the stripper. Ppl placed at Western Union. His car was out front with his dog in the car and his revolver was the murder weapon. Ruby never denied he even told why so I guess the conspirators faked phone records for to get his room mate and the western union ppl to like forge his name steal his dog car gun to frame him. Btw why did they? This is more stupid than Jackie shot him. Don't go embarrass your self with this.

He says Ruby was in bed at 10, and I presume he means that Ruby stayed in bed until 10 AM on Sunday morning. But, that isn't even part of the official story. The fact is that Ruby said that he got up early on Sunday morning. That's in the narrative that he wrote in 1964, after his conviction, that was published in various newspapers. A television screenwriter was brought in to help him write it by the name of William Read Woodfield. I don't know who arranged that, and I don't know who paid Woodfield. Obviously, Ruby didn't. He had no money. And I don't think that Ruby's lawyers paid Woodfield. They would have had to use their own money, and I don't imagine they did that. They didn't pay to have Dr. Louis Joylan West, the CIA's "Maestro of Mind Control" to be flown out repeatedly from Los Angeles to treat Ruby either. The question is: why did they allow it? 

So, Ruby, by his own admission, got up early on Sunday morning, without specifying a time. So what could he have meant? I don't think anything after 8 can be considered early. But, even if you want to make it 9, he only lived 5 minutes away from downtown. And we are talking 1963 traffic, not 2020 traffic. And all he did was get dressed and eat some breakfast. He listened to his favorite rabbi on television while as he went about his morning. He was a very devout Jew. But, there is puzzling thing about what he did that morning. He said he flipped through the Dallas Morning News as he ate, and he came upon a "Letter to Caroline" which he said was very moving, where the writer tried to comfort Caroline Kennedy and explain why her father died. And it does sound like something that would be memorable. Think about the letter to Virginia about Santa Claus. So, what happened to that letter? Why can't it be found? I looked it up, and I couldn't find it in the Sunday, November 24, 1963 edition of the Dallas Morning News. Very strange. 

So, Ruby got up early, by his own admission. He got dressed; he ate; and then he left for Western Union. Even if you say he didn't get up "early" until 9, and if you push it further than that, the mean Friar Occam is going to show up with his razor, and I shouldn't have to tell you what he's going to do with it. But, even if you allow a whole hour for him to leisure through breakfast, it still gets him out the door by 10, and he's at Western Union by 10:15. And guess what? During his long testimony to the Warren Commissioners, Ruby recalled that he sent the money wire at 10:15.  Right away, a Secret Service agent corrected him and said it was 11:15, and Ruby didn't dispute it, but Ruby never disputed anything. He was very submissive to authority, unlike most of your Mafioso. Of course, I'm only kidding. Ruby was not a Mafioso. 

And Ruby told the truth. He ALWAYS told the truth. He NEVER lied. Ruby begged to take a polygraph test, and he even offered to swallow truth serum. He wouldn't have done that if he had any intention of lying. Ruby never lied. 

Now, about the Western Union documents: the first thing that Dallas Police did when they got Ruby up to the 5th floor is take his clothes away. They stripped him to his underwear. Hmmm. They didn't do that to Oswald. They didn't do that to anybody else. So, why did they do it to Ruby? Well, for one thing, it was to get that paperwork so that they could replace it with phony paperwork that displayed the later time. 

Ruby got to the garage early; about an hour early. And that is a pretty exact figure because we have it from Dr. Fred Bieberdorf that the garage was cleared at 9:45, and no one was allowed back in until 5 minutes before the Spectacle began. So, why did they clear the garage? They did it because that's when they were going to grab Ruby and rush him upstairs. And upstairs is where Ruby was during the Garage Spectacle. He was upstairs in his underwear. Most people would have protested that, but Ruby didn't because he didn't protest anything. He was very subservient to Authority and especially to the Dallas Police, who were his heroes. 

Ruby, at all times and to his death, said the same thing: that all he remembered was going down to the garage, being jumped by the Dallas Police, for no reason that he was aware of, and to his utter shock and amazement. His immediate reaction was to say to them, "What are you doing? You know me. I'm Jack Ruby, not some criminal." He did not know why they were pouncing on him, and they didn't tell him until they got him upstairs. That's when they told him that he shot Oswald. 

Now, even though it didn't work at his trial, the fact is that the Defense argument, which lost at trial, has become the official story of the Oswald shooting: that Ruby lost his mind for a moment; went into some kind of altered mental state in which he shot Oswald but then had no memory of doing it. And that is exactly how they depicted it in the 1978 tv movie Ruby and Oswald which starred the real Jim Leavelle. Leavelle was also paid as a historical consultant. So, it was a big pay day for him.  

Now, why did Ruby's lawyers go with that story? It's because they asked Ruby, "What the hell happened?" and he said, "I don't know. I just went down there, and the next thing I knew, the police were all over me. And I can't tell you anything that happened in-between. I have no memory of anything else."

And there WAS nothing else. That is all that happened when he went down there. And the tragedy is that his lawyers didn't take what he said literally. They didn't consider that the reason he couldn't remember anything else is because there was nothing else. 

So, why didn't their minds go there? It's because they were Americans, and they were incapable of thinking that that much corruption and malfeasance was possible by the Dallas Police. 

Ruby never admitted shooting Oswald. How can anyone admit doing something that they don't remember doing? He merely ACCEPTED that he shot Oswald and only because they told him that he did it. But, they, the Dallas Police, lied. They shot Oswald, not Ruby, and it wasn't in the garage. 

But, the other thing that proves this is Officer Roy Vaughan, who swore, to his dying day, that Ruby did NOT get past him. Now, Ruby said that he got in that way via the Main Street ramp. And you can't assume that he lied. Since he took responsibility for shooting Oswald, why would he lie about how he got in there? And some want to say that it was a conspiracy between Ruby and the Dallas Police, but that is stupid! You can't have a conspiracy where one guy in the conspiracy is going to be prosecuted for murder, in pursuit of the death penalty, by the others guys in the conspiracy.  Conspiracies don't work like that. 

So, nobody opened any doors for Ruby. He got in the way he said he did- by way of the Main Street ramp. And when he was there, Roy Vaughan was NOT there. Ruby knew Vaughan. If he had seen Vaughan, he would have said so. But he said that the officer on foots was someone he did not know and could not name. And he spoke of Lt. Pierce being alone in the squad car. So, this was earlier than 11:15, about an hour earlier. When Pierce was there at 11:15, he had two other officers in the in the car with him whom Ruby did not report seeing. 

Two things are completely and totally ludicrous: 1) the idea that Ruby got past 29 year old Roy Vaughan. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I could get an 85 year old Walmart greeter, who is on oxygen and has a walker, to guart that 8 foot wide ramp and keep anyone from entering. If you try to say that a strapping 29 year old police officer couldn't do it, I will stick Friar Occum on you so fast, Heaven help you. 

Jack Ruby told the truth. Roy Vaughan told the truth. Ruby did get in that way, but he did NOT get past Roy Vaughan. Roy Vaughan wasn't put there until after Ruby was tucked away on the 5th floor. Roy Vaughan got there shortly after 9:00, but he said that for the longest time, they had him waiting in the Dispatch room drinking coffee. Cup after cup after cup of coffee, as he shot the breeze with other officers. Finally, they came and got him and told him to guard the  Main Street ramp. And that was after Ruby was tucked away on the 5th floor. 

Peeks says that Ruby's gun was the murder weapon. How does he know that? They pulled a 38 caliber bullet out of Oswald, but it could easily have been another 38. There is no proof that Ruby's gun was used to kill Oswald. However, I don't doubt that they gave it to James Bookhout to brandish during the the Garage Spectacle. But, only a blank was fired. They weren't going to shoot Oswald in that garage. That was too dangerous. Someone else could have gotten hurt besides Oswald. It was just a spectacle for television. It was theater. Watch the footage. You see Fritz nodding. Then you see McMillan nod. They were signaling each other. It was all staged, from beginning to end. 

Ruby did bring his dog, and that's because he was taking her to the Carousel Club because there was somebody there who was going to look after her for him. The Carousel Club was right across the street from Western Union. It was across the street and down the block a little bit. And obviously, if Ruby planned to shoot Oswald in a crowd of police, he not only would not have brought the dog, but he would have made a permanent arrangement for her and his other dog. whom he loved, out of knowing that he wasn't returning. 


Shooting Oswald in a crowd of police meant destroying Ruby's whole life, and it was a life that he very much liked and wanted to keep doing. There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that Ruby planned to shoot Oswald. And the idea that he did it in a "moment of madness" and his lawyer titled his book about Ruby, makes no sense either. What Ruby said needs to be taken as the literal truth: he went down there; he was jumped; he was dragged up to the 5th floor, where he was told that he shot Oswald. That is literally what happened, and I don't even know if Oswald was there. It could have been an Oswald double. Or it could have been nobody. They may have jumped him before there was time to show him Oswald. 

But, the rest of the stuff that Chris Peeks said is just plain stupid. He writes as though I advocate that Ruby wasn't there at all, that he didn't go to Western Union, that he didn't bring his dog, that somebody stole his dog, etc. And it's incredibly stupid because we get our first glimpse of the real Jack Ruby about 3 PM on Sunday in the hallway, and that's him. 

  
Plus, he said he was there, so of course he was there. He got there early. An hour early.  And he was on the 5th floor in his shorts when the Garage Spectacle went down. 

Detective Thomas McMillan was involved in both: the apprehension of Ruby and the Garage Spectacle. McMillan was one of the officers who dragged Ruby upstairs. But then he, and the other officers, had to leave to get back down for the show. So, it was all arranged that Secret Service Agent Forrest Sorell would show up to mind Ruby while the event went down. And that is exactly what happened.  

Jack Ruby was innocent. Completely, totally innocent. And anybody who wants to fight about this has never had a more eager combatant than me. Bring it on, moe-foes.
