Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Phil Dragoo]

Larry, at 371 you ask an interesting question: did Ruby say he did it to show the world Jews have guts.

The news clipping at http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg ...tem 13.pdf says Secret Service agent Forrest Sorrels reported Ruby said this:


Ruby, told law officers he
killed Oswald because he
couldn't stand the thought that
the widow, Jacqueline Kennedy
would have to undergo
the ordeal of going back to
Dallas to testify at Oswald's
trial.

He said he felt great compassion
for Caroline Kennedy,
the President's daughter who
was 6 at the time of the assassination.
He said he had
been driven into a state of
insanity over the whole affair.

Then, pressed for the precise
reason he killed Oswald,
Ruby said he guessed it was
to show the world that Jews
had guts.


Is any of that dog's supper true? What of the phone calls Ruby made to associates of Marcello, Hoffa, Giancana, and other top members of organized crime?

Was the Western Union stop not a pretext to be in position to see the signal from the police station to proceed through the side door--not down the ramp.

The relief Ruby expressed upon the news Oswald was dead was stark and plain.

This illustrative paragraph from Jim DiEugenio's article on Ruby Dunkel-style:


Let me conclude with another key event this show leaves out. It indicates Ruby's mindset at the time, something the show also tries to confuse. Detective Don Archer was with Ruby after he was in custody after the murder. Ruby was very nervous: "He was sweating profusely. I could hear his heart beating. He asked for one of my cigarettes. I gave him a cigarette. Finally ... the head of the Secret Service came up-and he told me that Oswald had died. This should have shocked Ruby because it would mean the death penalty ... .Instead of being shocked, he became calm, he quit sweating, his heart slowed down. I asked him if he wanted a cigarette, and he advised me he didn't smoke. I was just astonished ... I would say his life had depended on him getting Oswald." (Marrs, pgs. 423-424)

Ruby the Chicago transplant, the go-to guy for drugs in Dallas, the do-it-yourself bouncer with fifteen beatings and the occasional customer thrown down the stairs, the calls cagily made to goodfellas, who admitted his lawyer came up with the "did it for Jackie" schtick, who had his mind drycleaned by Joly West and DeLoach's cousin, was really, really just trying to show the world that Jews have guts.

Those guts turned cancerous and fatal when he got a new trial.

Sure, Jack Ruby patriot; Jack Ruby NKVD in Tel Aviv--maybe better Jack Ruby like John Rosselli said to Jack Anderson.

And that follows a Jack Ruby sent from Chicago, carrying out a contract.

Not personal, business.
