That’s an interesting thirdhand recollection, but while it *may* be true that Ruby worked for the Democratic Party in Texas (and wouldn’t be any great surprise, the Mob like the KKK is an overwhelmingly Demwit org) Ruby was ex- of Chicago, he’d been given the choice of getting out or getting whacked. He was assigned the job of shutting Oswald up, and really didn’t have any choice in the matter. He never cracked, he never talked, the code of silence.
Love him or hate him, Richard Nixon was easily one of the five smartest men to ascend to the presidency.
Ruby was also a known homosexual. Why has there never been a conspiracy that the Gay agenda had Kennedy killed for flaunting his heteroness?
Ruby is buried in Chicagoland.
Not that I give a sh!t at this point, but I wonder why nobody ever discussed Bobby's mob hearings? They did this after they had gone to such pains to throw Illinois to Jack. Kennedy bungled more than Bay of Pigs; the mob lost some of their guys in the attempt to get Castro.
It wasn't just screwing up, or biting the hand that fed it. It was a betrayal, and no self-respecting gangster could allow. Was Johnson in on it? It's not hard suspect he did, though perhaps in some remote, passive way--selective blindness and informed ignorance.
