      The truth is there for everyone to see. You just have to read it all to put it together. Oswald was an agent/operative of the CIA under the direction of charter member, George H W Bush, also of the CIA. Bush was in Dallas that morning. He left before the hit which he planned, then manufactured an alibi for himself and misdirected the FBI's investigation sending them on a wild goose chase after a man in Houston that afternoon.

    The idea that Ruby "would have been on time" in the event of a conspiracy as evidence CONTRADICTING a conspiracy is belied by the fact----and it is a fact---that Oswald was walked out into the crowd of people within minutes of Ruby arriving on the scene. The issue is what delayed Oswald's transport time, and how Ruby managed to arrive at a time that only law enforcement knew was to be the "new" transport time for Oswald? I think that Dan is missing the fact that a simple phone call to Ruby minutes before Oswald was to be transported would have placed Ruby in position at the perfect time.

    Oswald was not brought out until Ruby had arrived. Why else was Ruby in the garage if Oswald was meant to have left hours earlier? His key advantage as an assassin was that he could enter the police station as someone familiar to the police. Hence he got the order for the killing despite his small-time status.

    At 6:50 into this video Dan Abrams discounts the notion that Jack Ruby was part of a conspiracy to silence Oswald because Ruby arrived to the basement of the Dallas courthouse only minutes before Oswald was being escorted out of the building. However that very observation could instead be used to support the case that Ruby was in fact part of a conspiracy: once Ruby gained entry (or was let into) the basement a co-conspirator cop could have then gotten word to other another co-conspirator cop escorting Oswald that Ruby was in place so it was time to bring Oswald out and into Ruby's path.

    Jack Ruby was well-known to the Dallas police. Many of them were patrons of Ruby's Carousel club. It makes no sense that Ruby could wander into Dallas police headquarters just before Oswald, who should have been the most tightly-guarded man on earth that day, is led toward him, then move toward Oswald and, without any interference from any of the cops present, shoot Oswald from a few feet away. There is a video on CZcams of Ruby talking to reporters shortly after killing Oswald. He plainly alludes to the fact that there was a conspiracy and says the "true facts" of what went on in Dallas will never come above board to the world, and that "people that had so much to gain" were responsible for "putting me in the position I'm in."

    Why was Jack Ruby seen at Parkland Hospital?
    What if the Dallas police was waiting for Ruby to arrive before escorting Oswald? In other words, instead of being "an hour late"... perhaps they were waiting on him to arrive. Which begs the question: why was Oswald being subjected to the public in the first place? They should have never exposed him.

    As proof that Jack Ruby's killing Oswald was by mere chance, Abrams states that Oswald was suppose to have been moved from Dallas police headquarters to county lock-up at 10:00 am and that Ruby finally showed up at the police station at 11:15. So, why wasn't Oswald moved at 10:00 am? It appears as though they were waiting for Ruby - who arrived late. As coincidence would have it: Ruby, who had just finished running errands, showed up at Dallas PD at exactly the right time and found himself in the police underground parking structure right on Que. and in the presence of about 70 officers and detectives - murdered Oswald.
    Also, Abrams said that Ruby's dog was in his car. Why would he bring his dog and leave it in the car if he was going to murder Oswald and probably get arrested?
    Perhaps Jack Ruby, not being a particularly bright man, knowing he would be arrested, thought his dog would starve to death before someone found it. I think an argument can be made that: BECAUSE Ruby brought his dog, he knew he would not be back home to take care of the dog. In other words: Ruby knew he was about to be arrested, so he brought his dog to pass off to Dallas PD to deal with. After he was arrested he probably handed over his car keys and let the officers know the dog was in the car. Beloved dog Sheeba: taken care of.

    Loser became Ruby's epithet over the decades, but nobody justifies it. Despite the failure of a string of night clubs, so few have the know how and resources for such undertakings, it's an accomplishment in itself. Ruby apparently made a living from his strip clubs; how is he a loser? The characterization of Ruby may have originated from the strippers he employed, women who commonly rationalize that it's the men who pay to see their public nudity who are the losers. Because he threw his life away in such a manner doesn't mean he led the life of a loser.
    The implication is that killing Oswald was his attempt at redemption for a failed life. Maybe. Why him though? There are billions of losers who don't resort to such histrionics.

    Sure seems to be a lot of losers in this case.

    Downcheck for trying to sneak in a Morning Joe story without titling it as such. At least it didn't have those two other idiots in it; they're far worse than this trio.

    Al Capone recruited Ruby he ran near beer in Chicago Al wanting to make big Jack but he wasn't I talian. Al and Jack would sit around and drink near beer and make meat balls together. Look it up. They liked to slow dance too.

    So the lucrative "JFK conspiracy" cottage industry is still running on empty, and still milking the dupes.

      What lucrative cottage industry? Most writers who point out the extrajudicial removal of President Kennedy don't get onto television shows like this guy did. Oliver Stone is about the only exception and that's because he already had status before his film JFK - which the entire media bitterly attacked, probably more than any previous film received. It's much more profitable to claim the Warren Dulles Commission was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

      @@markrobinowitz8473 I deal in reality: Mark Lane, ostensibly Oswald's defense lawyer, published that which was essentially his defense brief as "Rush to Judgment". His job as defense lawyer was to point his finger in as many ways as possible away from his client Oswald. But what explains Oswald's killing of the cop -- because he was innocent?
      The Boston University School of Medicine did a forensic analysis of the evidence -- and the film of it was shown on PBS. The evidence evaluated and shown included the x-rays of JFK's skull. As the Warren Commission found, and ask the x-ray and accompanying photos showed, he was hit in the upper back of the head.
      They also showed Governor Connolly's shirt, which had a "burn" mark where the bullet hit SIDEWAYS.
      Before that video, PBS ran a video of testing of Oswald's rifle. It was DESIGNED in such a way that a bullet fired from it would -- again, as designed -- tumble.
      Mark Land started the whole "JFK conspiracy" cottage industry, and made a good living from it. And then there's Marr's, who wrote "Crossfire," in which he had JFK shot from four directions. No, he was not, as the x-rays and photos prove.
      Oh, right: the x-rays are "missing," according to the conspirabunkers, because they disprove the Warren Commission findings. Except that they don't -- they substantiate it.
      I was in 10th grade when JFK was assassinated. I read extensively, for decades, going back and forth about whether there was a conspiracy. There wasn't. And I've seen the corrosively destructive results of the constant confabulations of BS about the assassination, which also established the ground for all sorts of BOGUS "conspiracy" "theories" to be floated, and swallowed by the gullible.
      And where are we now because of all that exploitation of gullibility -- the preference for lurid, outlandish "entertaining" fantasies displacing the centrality of fact and truth?

    All conspiracy minded will say is:
    ‘you think they didn’t have somebody in the police station who knew to take him outside at 11:15... yeah yeah of course he was ‘late’’
    Then off we go again on the merry-go-round
    Bigger story is the automatic gun stored with the safety off, that Secrete Service member lifts up in the second car that goes off by accident as it’s lifted from between the middle and rear seats hitting the final shot.... ;)
