Oswald 'had no time to fire all Kennedy bullets'

There is another book that discloses the name of a foreign national who was part of the three hit teams operating in Dealey Plaza that day. Can anyone explain what motivation Ruby had to kill Oswald? They had been out together socially. Seems to me Ruby was wrapping up some untidy business for whomever wanted Kennedy dead. E. Howard Hunt and Bar McClellan believe Johnson was involved. The very fact that Executive Orders were prepared to change the course of the Viet Nam War and signed on the plane ride back also has never been explained.

With Lady Bird passing, maybe some additional facts will come to light. I don’t Trust the government on this case and many have noted that all the documents are sealed until 2038. If they are so sure of their theory, why seal everything for so long? My conclusion to protect participants.

I think Ruby's "motivation" was that he was cleaning up mob business. I think of number of interests were at work here, including use of the Mafia. Ruby had known mob connections, and was allegedly the source for mob payoffs to local police and politicos.

As for Executive orders about Viet Nam, that's a story I haven't heard before.

just bookmarking this conversation, I guess that is what “bump” means to get this topic back up on my comments list?

Nothing in the assassination adds up; sure, I can respect people making the lone gun nut theory and others that are counter.

I found this story last weekend; it sounds far out, but it is after all; a Dallas Times-Herald photographer who was there when Ruby shot Oswald. He says there was “no blood.” http://theuniversalseduction.com/articles/photographer-who-snapped-infamous-oswald-photo-said-no-blood-at-crime-scene (just went to find the story, I have no idea what this website is about). Everything about the assassination has some odd twist or turn to it. That’s why it is suspicious. I can respect those saying “one gun man” but what if, vs. the Warren Commission; they were trying a man in a court of law with 12 jurors? I can’t buy the magic bullet shot under those circumstances.

Now that is one of the more bizarre theories, and one that I’ve never heard. I’m going to have to look at some of those photos to see if I can see any blood. Thanks for the post.
