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.

The Dead Kennedy’s symbol on the wall is clutch.

You think that revealing all of JFK’s assassination files will show that the Jooooooz, Israelis killed JFK in order to get a quantity of Uranium? OR...is it more likely that LBJ wanted the Presidency by 1964 and not be humiliated and dropped from the ticket in 1964? LBJ was on his way to jail with the Billy Estes affair.

You think the young and struggling State of Israel would kill a sitting American President and risk the wrath of the American people? How much of your calculation is based on anti-Semitism?

I am certain the CIA did the deed—with Israel’s active support.

I think Mossad and Operation Mockingbird used blackmail and infiltration to hold and maintain the coverup including mass media.

The details of the CIA’s involvement (on the ground logistic details) are covered in this book:

Posner was a classic case of “The Empire Strikes Back”.

The CIA and Mossad coverup continues to this day.

They are not going to give up their secrets without a fight.

The issue is not a “quantity of uranium”.

JFK was actively blocking the Israeli program—using all of his powers to influence and stop domestic and foreign actors helping Israel obtain the bombs—not just uranium but every element of the technology needed for a successful program.

This is not about “the Jews”. It is about a small nation surrounded by vicious enemies that needed nuclear weapons to defend itself against hostile neighbors—and the determination to get it done by any means necessary.

There are no good guys and bad guys in this story.

This is the way the real world works—it is very messy.

How will you know they’ve spilled the secrets?
What if the ‘secrets they’ve spilled’ are only ‘secrets’ they’ve made up?

I agree that Israel in 1963 was (and still is) in dire straights. There is no other country on Earth that has to constantly justify it’s existence from year to year, day to day.
Those calling for her destruction have not stopped since the days of the Mufti of Jerusalem (WWII), all Arab leaders and especially Nasser’s Egypt and (later on, Assad’s) Syria.

I thought it was the French government that propelled Israel’s nuclear program forward. By 1981 the Frogs were finishing Saddam Hussein’s reactor at Osirak. The Israelis finished that story.

It IS possible that the Israelis smuggled Uranium out of the US with the help of James Angelton’s CIA. If that proves to be true what difference would it make now some 61 years after the JFK assassination?
Israel is the most vilified nation on Earth, unjustly so. Who is alive that can be harmed by a major revalationin the JFK case? Jackie Kennedy’s dog sitter?

I do not believe it was an outside agent like the KGB, Castro or anybody else.
It was an inside job and it has taken the American people assassinations, wars, scandals (Watergate), Presidential resignations, etc. to snap out of their naivete’.

There are many still unanswered questions left from the forensic investigation.

Governor Connally, riding in the “jump seat” ahead of Kennedy, was also shot. His wounds included an entry wound in the back near the right shoulder, a broken rib, an exit wound in the chest, a shattered wrist caused by a bullet entering from the dorsal (back) side, and a fragment lodged in his thigh. Except for some lung tissue, no vital organs were hit.

Defenders of the single bullet theory note that a large entrance wound in Connally’s back is evidence of a “tumbling bullet,” which could occur if the bullet first passed through JFK. But critics point out that the notion of a large entrance wound is incorrect, and is based on the enlarged debrided wound after surgery. Connally’s surgeon Dr. Robert Shaw measured the long axis of the original elliptical entrance wound at a much smaller 1.5 centimeters. As Milicent Cranor, a senior editor at whowhatwhy has pointed out, this is virtually identical in size and shape to Kennedy’s skull entrance wound as measured at autopsy, and “No one has suggested Kennedy was hit in the head with a tumbling bullet.”

The bullet said to cause all 7 wounds in two men is Commission Exhibit 399, found on a stretcher in Parkland Hospital in virtually pristine condition, with apparently no blood or tissue on it. CE 399 is flattened somewhat, and rifling marks show it clearly had been fired from the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle at some point.

Among the many problems with the single bullet theory and Connally’s wounds in particular, there is also the issue of whether the metal fragments taken from Connally’s wrist and left in his leg could possibly have come from the nearly intact bullet CE 399. JFK autopsy surgeon Commander Humes told the Commission “I can’t conceive of where they came from this missile.” There is also some doubt about whether the fragments now in evidence (CE 842) comprise all that was removed from Governor Connally’s wrist.

Hopefully Trump declassifies all info related to the JFK assassination. And 9/11.

Me, too. Chances are much better with RFK Jr directly involved.

Go RFK Jr.!

Suggesting in any manner that “The Jews Killed Kennedy” is an evidence-free blood libel.

Prove me wrong by providing evidence that Jews killed Kennedy.
