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

The people who want you to believe that Jack Ruby had this other life, hobnobbing with gangsters and politicians, etc. are out of their minds. This is a good example. Russ Baker actually put this in his book, this picture, with the claim that it's Ruby. 

Mother of God! That is not Jack Ruby! That was 1946. Of course, it's Prescott Bush on the right, and Richard Nixon on the left. Nixon had just been elected to Congress for the first time with help from Bush. I don't know who that guy is behind them, but he definitely wasn't Jack Ruby. Here is Jack Ruby in 1945.

Can't you see that that guy in the picture is older? That he has a very aqualine nose, compared to Ruby's bulbous nose? That Ruby's face was fatter? Ruby later lost weight because he got hooked on amphetamines, but earlier in his life, he was quite puffy in the face. 

There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that that is Jack Ruby. Yet, people keep saying that it is. I regret to say that even John Armstrong fell for it and says it. Why? It's because of this compulsion people have to embrace the juicy story that Ruby had this other life as a gangster and political operative. It's a complete, total fiction, and it was created by the other side; by the people who actually killed Oswald. They say it just to keep researchers and buffs occupied; to keep them busy chasing ghosts; and to keep them far, far away from the truth that Jack Ruby was completely and totally innocent. 

In the movie Jason Bourne, which I'm a fan of; it was the 4th installment with Matt Damon, the dirty, corrupt CIA is out to kill this social media CEO who refuses to do their bidding to spy on Americans, and you hear this one agent tell the rotten CIA Chief that they can easily do it, take the guy out, and blame it on some "lone wolf" for whom they would create an identity, giving him a past with all kinds of documentation going back decades and all completely made up. Well, that is what they really did to Jack Ruby. And it was the plan all along because they knew that if they misled people by giving Jack Ruby this colorful but totally fictitious dark, criminal past, that it would reinforce the belief that he killed Oswald. You see: they don't care WHY you think Ruby shot Oswald. Pick any reason you want. They couldn't care less about that. They only care THAT you think Ruby shot Oswald. They only care that you go nowhere near the truth, that Ruby was framed and innocent.

And because of this Machiavellian plan to reinvent Jack Ruby, which they arranged in advance, to give him a life and a past that he didn't have, it completely bamboozled otherwise intelligent researchers like John Armstrong into accepting and believing their crap.

Jack Ruby was born and raised in Chicago. He served in the Air Force during World War II as an airplane mechanic (which is what my father did). Then, after the war, he returned to Chicago, and got involved with his brother Earl in various huckster businesses, (and I don't mean anything criminal, but just slick and fast talking selling) and then he was drawn to Dallas because his sister Eva was there, and she and needed help running her night club. And he became enamored with the night club business and stayed in it. And that was basically his whole, entire life story. The rest is all bull shit. He was not a Mafioso. He did not know or work for Nixon or LBJ. That famous clip of him telling reporters that LBJ was responsible for the assassination was based entirely on a book he read, "A Texan Looks At Lyndon" by Evetts Haley, which I have also read. 

The big thing missing from the story is when and how it was decided that Jack Ruby could be used the way he was ultimately used.  I admit that that chapter of his life is missing. We have much more on Sirhan Sirhan and how he got recruited. Sirhan got recruited from his dabbling with Rosicrucianism. That's where they picked him up, you might say. And they lured him by enticing him with the dream of becoming a horse racing jockey. And then, it was weekends at the remote horse ranch, where they started getting drugs into him and doing mind control. It's all very well laid out, but we don't have anything comparable to that for Ruby. For instance, why don't we know who Ruby's doctor was?  We know he was getting amphetamines from his doctor, presumably for weight control.  But, it certainly wasn't medically appropriate, and why don't we know who his doctor was? It would be a hell of a starting point. So, that's the part of Ruby's life that I want to find out about. 

That guy in the picture with Richard Nixon and Prescott Bush is most certainly not Jack Ruby,  And the idea for it came from the plotters, the killers. It's distraction. It's noise. And it reinforces the idea that Ruby killed Oswald. Their worst nightmare is for you to realize that Ruby was completely and totally innocent, and completely and totally victimized. He really was.
