Well. That is an interesting angle!

Anything’s possible but the planners of this crime of the Century (or Millennium) would always take all kinds of precautions including arranging with Ruby to have taken the necessary steps he did. Anything to quell the idea that this was all a conspiracy. And the question about Ruby at the press conference proves nothing. Maybe things didn’t go as planned so the Oswald execution got delayed until Sunday

I think I remember seeing JFK’s head jerk backwards, but I could be wrong. One documentary said that Jackie climbed onto trunk to retrieve part of his brain matter. This may not be true, but I always wondered why she did it. If that is true, it seems he was shot from the front. I may watch some documentaries this weekend to refresh myself.

As I explained, this isn't my theory or something I agree with. I'm just sharing a quirky angle that I hadn't seen elsewhere.

I understood that completely and found the JR pup information interesting. It gives us another layer of conspiracy to consider. 😂 I just find it interesting that media absolutely ignores things we see with our own eyes, such as Jackie climbing out onto the trunk of the car, and people just go along without questioning. For many years, I thought she was trying to get out of the car, but my thoughts stopped there. The powers that be (whoever they are) are great at mind games and cover ups. They don’t even have to have a cover up conspiracy any more because I don’t believe anything they say or do. If they tell the truth, I doubt I’ll believe them.

As gruesome as it may be, my understanding is that Jackie was retrieving a clump of Jack's hair and brain. She supposedly still had it in her hands when JFK was wheeled into the operating room.

That’s what I learned many years after it happened. I guess around 10 years ago. Anyway, the pint of that of course is that if he was shot from behind, the brain matter would have gone forward. Therefore, Oswald of course, could not have done it. It makes me wonder if Hoffman was part of the conspiracy! lol

On the coverup, I believe that's a good wonder. This article about his ... suicide ... from the NY Daily News plus a testimonial from the editor of "Times Square Gossip" doesn't diminish the wonder. I also wonder (not really) if HE knew that Ruby was affiliated with Lansky.

Being shot in the head from behind does not necessarily mean that all the damage is going to move forward. As the force moves into the skull some parts are going to explode outward in different directions. I don't know if Jackie was reaching for Cliff Hill, for parts of Jack, for any help, but assuming all the matter would go forward isn't logical.

Can't both be true? Can it not be that Oswald was a patsy for the real assassins AND Ruby just happened to be a johnny-on-the spot Oswald killer? Although I don't buy it that Ruby just decided in that 5 seconds of seeing Oswald "smirking" to kill him, but even accepting Mr. Hoffman's theory as true, that does not disprove the Oswald as a patsy theory. Otherwise, pretty good food for thought.

Dorothy Kilgallen fatally "overdosed mysteriously" in 1965 after interviewing Ruby, obtaining parts of his Warren Commission testimony, and announcing her intentions to write a book on the subject. The dog must be the key.

🤔

It's horrifying to learn about the trail of dead witnesses. Sort of a version of "died suddenly," huh?

Jack Ruby is an interesting character. He was part of the takedown of the American Bund Society and was an associate of Meyer Lansky.

Expand full comment

Wow! I wrote about Lansky taking on the Bund in my first book but I was not aware of the Ruby connection. I'll look into to it soon, thanks!

You're welcome. Iirc he was one of the infiltrators. I tried to find the article that I read it in but my google-fu is not proving successful. I want to say it was an article discussing the ties between Jewish organized crime and the Federal government.

Thanks for looking, Sim!

Really enjoy your writings, Mickey, but don't agree that even if the Ruby story is true, there's still too much evidence to dismiss the single shooter theory.
