How did Jack Ruby know it was "The Fair Play for Cuba Committee" at the Oswald Dallas Police PressCF

[Anthony DeFiore]

At the press conference, with Oswald looking right at him in disgust, Jack Ruby corrected the spokesman as he stumbled on the name and Ruby said clearly, "The Fair Play For Cuba Committee".

JUST HOW IN THE HELL DID THIS OBSCURE DALLAS STRIP CLUB OWNER KNOW THE EXACT NAME OF A PRO CASTRO GROUP LOCATED IN NEW ORLEANS IN WHICH OSWALD (SOMEONE THAT HE HAD NEVER MET) WAS PASSING OUT LEAFLETS IN SUPPORT OF THE GROUP?

I appreciate any comments.

That's easy. He knew it through the CIA and mafia contacts he was working with in the conspiracy to kill Kennedy. lol


I'm sure if they were ever pressed they would invent some phony press release with Oswald's background Ruby got wind of.

Quite a coincidence eh? LHO's killer just happened to know his work history. He just happened to be present at that midnight press
conference. Then he just happened to slip unnoticed into the DPD facility at the same time LHO was being transferred. The whole thing
was just one odd coincidence after another.

BTW, I think the FPFC was HQ'd in NYC. LHO wanted to be its New Orleans representative.

Oswald actually wasn't in the room any longer at that point. It was during Henry Wade's press conference.

Lone-nutters have explained it by saying that it was all over the radio and in the newspapers that afternoon that Oswald was in the FPCC, and Ruby was a news junkie.

In the work called, State Secret by Bill Simpich, which he graciously made available online, I read the following:

It's pretty clear that one informant the HSCA did not know about was AMKNOB-1 aka Santiago Garriga. As we have seen, Garriga worked with both the CIA and with Cuban intelligence. Earlier in the year, the head of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee was asked by government investigators if he knew about Garriga selling fake passports. During October 1963 Garriga worked with other pro-Castro Cubans to set up a new chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in Miami.[ 122 ] Not a lot of State Department tax consultants in Miami in 1963 were doing this kind of work. Although it appears that Garriga's ultimate loyalty was with the Castro government, it's likely that Garriga's FPCC activity was designed by Anita Potocki to set up a fly-trap for people like Oswald. Maybe even Garriga himself was considered as a possible fall guy.

The FPCC seemed to me to be a revolving door of CIA/FBI agents trying to run on sort of project or another in attempts to learn what others (Cuban & Mexican Intelligence, etc...) might know.

I have not even begun to read thru this volume of data... the goings on ina nd around the FPCC leads to many of the key facilitators ... Ruby included.

The source isn't as important as the fact Ruby was acting in the role of infiltrator and framer of Oswald for the covert forces he was working for in the police station. What's clear is Ruby wanted to make sure the sheep-dipping frame up was put forward and understood and that the precise pro-Castro/commie organization Oswald lent himself to as an agent provocateur was known.

If we peel back the curtain, I'm sure all of the main people in the police station knew who Oswald was and were keeping intel cover. Ruby was just reminding them of the script and helping them get their lines right. This boldness would fit Ruby's psychological profile because he was comfortable with the confidence of police protection from his Carousel arrangement. The cop who spoke about Ruby to the press after the shooting was clearly holding back what he really knew about Ruby. They were doing the same for Oswald too.

SO VERY TRUE. AND THE FACT THAT THE POLICE WALKED OSWALD BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE SAME TWO ROOMS AT THE POLICE STATION WOULDN'T BE OBVIOUS THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IDEAL FOR SOMEONE LIKE A "JACK RUBY" TO SHOOT HIM IN THE PRESS MILIEU IN THAT SAME HALLWAY. Hmmmmmmmm

That's what gets to me about this whole thing Anthony, is the plain friggin obviousness of the full-blown, right out there in the open corruption of this whole damned thing. All due to the sick premise of covert CIA national security during the Cold War. Forgive me for being vulgar but sometimes I'd love to push Von Pein's face into it and rub his face in it - personally -.

With so many "disinfo" specialists on the job, I look at them all as the glaring example of the conspiracy. They make it all so real.


As for the 1963 cover up, I think in 1963 that the culture of belief in government made the conspiracy cover up so much more plausible and believable than today. The enormous flow of information in society today makes the conspiracy cover up look almost asinine. It is as obvious as a road runner cartoon. Much like finding The Three Stooges hilarious and kids today finding them boring. The stooges of the cover up are so plain to see now as technology exposes the travesty of the cover up. It's like trying to take Gary Mack and McAdams serious when they litter their work with rude innuendo and half truths.
