Jack Ruby Friend, Jail Visitor Breaks Silence After 50 Years
News on 6 ^ | 11/21/13 | News9

Posted on 11/24/2024 7:15:09 PM PST by DallasBiff

Fifty years after Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald, one of Ruby's good friends is talking publicly for the first time.

Oklahoma City resident Mary Gray McCoy visited her friend, Ruby, in jail about a week after Oswald was shot. She continued to visit him until a few days before his mysterious death.

When President Kennedy was making his way through the streets of downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, McCoy was busy working at a hotel across the street from one of Ruby's nightclubs.

"I don't know just what they did in there," McCoy said. "They had entertainers, dancers. I was never in the club."

Now at the age of 100, with a strong long-term memory, McCoy is finally telling her story.

"[Ruby] never cracked a smile," said McCoy. "He was all business."

Several times a week, Ruby would stop by McCoy's hotel to break change after regular banking hours. McCoy says that's how she met the would-be killer.

I watched all of this on TV when I was a kid.
Who is it that needs to be protected 60 years later?

I saw a portion of an interview of Bobby Jr. on a podcast. It was SO interesting.

He said it was the MIC who had him murdered because he balked about starting wars they were trying to push him into. They were withholding vital info from him. A lot of small details that made it sound convincing.

“Trump promised to do this in his first term and didn’t .”

He was going to; Pompeo The Snake talked him out of it. If it’s true that the MIC killed JFK (as RFK Jr. believes), then Pompeo’s reluctance makes sense.

People who have read posners “case closed” and or bugliosi’s “4 days in November “ are embarrassed that they ever believed there was any kind of conspiracy.
Oswald acted entirely alone. The Warren commission even got it right.
Posner even showed how the academy of science proved the 1978 congressional commission screwed up.

The Warren commission even got it right.

The Warren commission ignored their own findings. Even the FBI told them that Oswald's rifle was most likely not fired in the shooting.

See links to their testimony in post #38.

Or just watch the Zapruder film yourself (link below). JFK is clearly shot first, then Connally a few seconds later. Connally is still sitting upright, holding his cowboy hat in his right hand while JFK is clutching his throat, bleeding. They weren't struck with the same magic bullet like the Warren Commission claimed.

And both Governor Connally and Mrs. Connally both testified to the Warren Commission that JFK was shot first, and then Connally second. A motorcycle police officer also gave the same account. You can read the three full testimonies here:

It is the CIA’s MO to kill their hit men on high profile jobs.

Even the guys who murdered Seth Rich were killed shortly thereafter.

I agree with you. JFK was killed 21 days after he criticized the CIA for killing Diem, the president of Vietnam.

He had previously fired Dulles as head of the CIA for the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

There is documentation to show that JFK had ordered our withdrawal from Vietnam just prior to his death.

Yes. That was mentioned by RFK in that podcast. I hope I can find it later today.

They thought they could pull one over on JFK because he was so young. More than one, actually.
