It's pretty clear that Jack Ruby/Rubenstein was deeply involved in the illegal trafficking of arms to Cuba in both the early and late 1950s. Does anyone think this could have possibly escaped the attention of the CIA? Just about everyone else associated with Cuban arms shipments was busted, but not our boy Jack!
The red hot Ruby connections on and around November 22, 1963 were not with the Mob but with KLIF radio founder Gordon McLendon, a former Naval Intelligence officer who was a close friend and confidant of David Atlee Phillips.
Ruby called McLendon's unlisted phone number the day of the assassination. He was overheard that very afternoon saying he could be reached at KLIF. He continued writing letters to McLendon even from prison.
In 1975 McLendon and David Atlee Phillips formed the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO). The two men had known one another since childhood. And it was Phillips who was spotted by Antonio Veciana talking to LEE Oswald at the Southland building in Dallas in the summer of 1963.
And so we are starring at a direct chain of command from CIA's David Atlee Phillips to former intel officer Gordon McLendon to McLendon's close friend Jack Ruby to the REAL Lee Harvey Oswald, the guy who framed the Russian-speaking schmuck for the murder of JFK!
From Guatemala to Cuba to Dallas, David Atlee Phillips was an enabler of assassins and a professional liar. By the time of the Missile Crisis, Phillips was supporting DRE leaders in Miami to the tune of $25,000 per month, and he helped revive DRE following the Bay of Pigs. He clearly felt, as did so many of the Cubans, that Kennedy had betrayed him. That is evidenced by his and his Agency's violent operations against the Cuban government even after being ordered to desist by the Kennedy Administration.
David Atlee Phillips had the means, the motive, and the opportunity to plan and help execute the murder of JFK. What I'm presenting is a description of the how that was probably accomplished. For anyone to suggest a different reality, you have to assume, among other things, that the frequent communications between Ruby and Phillips' parter McLendon was a coincidence. There are far too many coincidences in this case.
Your argument is significantly undermined by dubious photographic analysis and needless either/or reasoning vis-Ã -vis the intelligence community and the mob.
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€

I wonder, do you suppose it crossed anyones mind as to why those photos were so scrutinized, then 25 years later a report is dicovered when prior to those 25 years some reseachers have combed every inch of paperwork by DPD?
Most importantly, why didn't the photos Edwin Kaiser have ever been identified by the CIA or the FBI as to what they referenced?
All it took was locating the individuals on the document and ask the question like Nino Diaz.
I have no doubt whatsoever what my father had, and I know why he was killed.
For those of you who do argue the Rogue CIA elements involved in Kennedy's assassination you are correct.
