Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

You should watch this video of Jack Ruby talking because so many people take it at face video, when they shouldn't.

He says that people in high places put him in the position he's in, and they'll never allow the true facts to come out. Well, Ruby, presumably, knew what those facts were, and there he was in front of microphones, and he wasn't saying.  But, if he really knew, then perpetrators knew he knew, and therefore, how could they let him live? How could they trust him to keep his mouth shut? And it was an either/or situation. Either he was going to spill his guts or not. So, what was the point of taunting reporters with a tease if he wasn't going to follow through? Whatever fear was impeding him from saying what he knew, why didn't it impede him from alluding to anything at all? What was the point of saying what he did? 

And then, in the second part, he referred directly to LBJ, that it was the Vice President, the current occupant of the White House. This is very easily explained. Ruby read a book, which I have also read, "A Texan Looks At Lyndon" by J Evetts Haley, a wealthy rancher who ran for governor. That happens a lot here. It's an assassination book in which Haley pins it on Johnson, but he keeps all the official story otherwise, that Oswald did it as the lone gunman. So, Johnson put Oswald up to doing it, somehow. That's the gist of it, and it is all Jack Ruby was going by.  

And the whole idea that he would have been safer in Washington and could talk there is ridiculous. Need I remind him that LBJ was in Washington, and he had a lot more power there than he had in Dallas.  Remember that Ruby was NOT blaming the Dallas Police for what happened to him.  He should have because they did it to him. They completely bamboozled him. But, if he really thought that LBJ was behind the JFK assassination, then Washington DC was the last place on Earth he should have wanted to go. 

Ruby did not know anything. He was not safeguarding any secrets. If he was, they would have killed him outright. You know the drill: he was shot while trying to escape; he hung himself in his cell; he OD'd; he got in a fight with another inmate who slit his throat. Pick your story. But, Ruby was allowed to live for 3 years precisely  because he didn't know anything. He wasn't killed until he was granted a new trial, when somebody must have said, "Hell no, we're not going through that again. His lawyers might wise up this time. Kill the dumb pluck."  But, if he had inside knowledge of the JFK assassination, they would have had to kill him on 11/24/63. 

So, don't be suckered by this. Ruby knew nothing, and he was out of his mind. He was delusional. And when JFKers get all worked up about this, the other side loves it. Let them play in their sandbox, they think.  "It will keep them occupied and far away from anything that can hurt us."
