Secret Files on Jack the Ripper Will Not Be Released to the Public
Mirror ^ | 10/07/2011 | Nick Owens

Posted on 07/11/2011 10:02:09 PM PDT by nickcarraway

SECRET files which name four new Jack the Ripper suspects will not be released to the public.

Retired murder detective Trevor Marriott has fought to have a 900-page dossier on the 1888 Whitechapel ­murders released.

But a tribunal last week ruled they must be kept ­hidden. Scotland Yard said living ­relatives of the ­suspects could be ­attacked.

It added that releasing the papers which name “grasses” would jeopardise the ­recruitment of ­modern-day informants.

Yesterday Mr Marriott, who is writing a book about the Ripper, who was never caught, said: “To censor the documents is absurd.

“They could help solve the mystery after all this time.”

I know about Wallis being divorced. I was referencing the joke that Prince Philip made when he said:

“People think there’s a rigid class system here, but dukes have even been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans!!”

King Edward VIII ofcourse later became the Duke of Windsor

Regarding the “Jewish angle”. Hmmm! Yeah, I could see how that could backfire.

I honestly still believe it was a Royal

I’ve actually read stories that Titanic was built to get all the anti-nwo’s on board and to sink it. They kind of forget it was sunk by a iceberg. Or was it?

A divorced American. It was a double-whammy for the Royal Family

Oh please.............I'm a RIPPEROLOGIST and have been reading everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING ever written, fiction and fact, about him and the murders for more decades than I care to tell you.

A little over a month or so ago the newest theory came out about the Polish Jew, whom Scotland Yard had thought it could have been and now, some are claiming it was.

What YOU haven't though of, obviously, is that they have come up with "new people", lots of of, who weren't on anyone's list before, and whilst somewhat plausable sounding, these theories are impossible to prove; as is this newest one.

The Royal connection, along with the supposed Masonic one have all been blown to bits.

Dude, calm down. My original comment was that I consider circumstantial evidence relevent. I wasn’t talking about the actual crimes. I was talking about why they won’t release their information. This tells me it’s pretty damning about someone they don’t want implicated. The upper class have no reason to defend a commoner, only one of their own. Not complicated.

I'm an Anglophile, so I do know about what you wrote about Dukes marrying Americans and chorus girls; princes and future kings didn't !

Yes, Aaron Kominski is being touted, yet again, as the Ripper, but this time, with some bits of what is claimed to be more proof.

Now, IF this is what this article is about, the crazed Muslim population ( which is virulent and extremely vocal in England, especially in and around London, right now ), combined with the always sub rosa antiSemitism of some strata of the English populace, will explode. It is prudent, should talked about "Ripper" indeed be the one, to keep it quite.

Prince Albert Victor? Nope........that one was easily disproved long ago!

How about if indeed it was a Jew?

Have you any idea how much of mess England is in and especially London, right now, due to the Talibanesque Moslems mobs are? If not, go read some Brit papers.

If the newest claim, re Kosminski,are correct, then that would truly cause big problems!

They've actually released the info about Albert Victor, rather a long time ago. There is NOTHING there!

Some even claimed that it was the Price of Wales, but that was even more dumb, than putting the blame on his son, Albert victor!

If it was a Jew I doubt they’d protect the name. Why worry about a Jewish killer if you’re letting in muzzies by the boatload?
You can’t see the forest for the trees. They wouldn’t be protecting the info unless it was someone important, and probably never fingered.
Although, they may just be drumming up tourism. See, I look at all things.

Back in 1888, the British still had their wogs under control.

Do you want the crazed Moslims, who have now installed Sharia and Taliban types of vigilati tactics in various locals to now go after Jews? REALLY?

No, you don't "look at all things" at all! How many Ripper books have you read? How many of the theories do you even know about? Obviously you are making up stuff, because it suits you and has no bearing, whatsoever, on the Ripper murders!A royal, indeed........LOL

FRiend. I have Jewish blood in me, proudly. I have only stated that the powers that be are protecting someone important. If you think its a Jewish culprit then I understand your concern. I, for one, don’t think they’d protect a Jewish person for this crime. I do think they’d protect someone of stature. Your attack on my thoughts is very unbecoming.

Melanie Phillips, Londonistan, was a dark indicator.

They kept it quiet, VERY quiet, re Kominski, at the time and for quite some time thereafter.

Now why do you suppose that was?

Could it possibly have been because the phony graffiti: "The Juwes are not The men That Will be Blamed for nothing" was quickly scrubbed off,by the police, for fear of what would take place, back then,by a fearful and in the case of the White Chappel district, poor, and anti-Semitic populace? Just asking.....................

I didn't "attack" you. I simple have pointed out that the possibility of a Royal, either the Prince of Wales ( which was VERY quickly debunked long, long ago ),or his son, Prince Albert Victor being the Ripper just doesn't wash.

Would you care to pick another prince, as the Ripper? If so, which one?

Nope, not an "obsession" at all; just a very long interest in this topic.

Okay, I didn't use spell check on all of my posts, but if that's the best you can do, instead of actually talking about any or all of the possibilities of who was the Ripper, than I do feel sorry for you.

It has to be someone in high places, otherwise why would they worry about relatives being attacked? I mean seriously, why would anyone even care at this point — UNLESS it was a member of the aristocracy, or a close relative of someone in Parliament, or perhaps even someone in Scotland Yard itself. Nothing else makes sense, IMHO.

There was at least one named suspect who was a member of the aristocracy, but I can’t recall the name off-hand. However, that person is known to have been a suspect by “Ripperologists” - unlike the names presumably in these secret files...

I hate to break it to you, but that is NOT the “latest” theory. I read a book LAST YEAR, and published a couple years ago that dissected the “Polish Jew” angle. If you are a “Ripperologist” as you claim, I would think you would know that...

As far as the royal suspect - true, that ALREADY NAMED/KNOWN suspect has basically been “cleared” as much as possible... However, as the article points out there are more names that have not previously been mentioned in this 900+ page file. So, just because one royal was cleared has nothing to do with these other suspects...
