[…] Charles Harrelson), and that Oswald, though known to both of them in the planning, was set-up as a patsy. Charles Rogers also knew David Ferrie and Jack Ruby. The ‘crime of the century’ is thus solved by the end of the book but none of it can be believed. No evidence is produced to […]
[…] visit the Cuban and Soviet Embassies. He re-entered the United States on 3rd October and headed for Dallas. On November 24th he was shot dead by Jack Ruby. Clay Shaw, Jim Garrison (and others) In mid-February 1967, nearly three and a half years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, news reports emanating […]
[…] War, the Weathermen, bombings at home; etc. etc. – and he disappeared from view. Looking back on it there were two obvious focuses for the assassination research, Ruby and Oswald; and most of the effort went on Oswald. Not only was there was little knowledge of Texas among the research community, the climate of […]
[…] key figure in covering up Chiang Kai-sheck’s involvement in the heroin traffic from Asia to the US, publicly blaming the Communist Chinese instead. (He also recruited Jack Ruby as an informant in Chicago in the late forties before Ruby moved to Dallas.) Kefauver’s third mistake, his key political mistake, was to get up the […]
[…] Deep Politics is also a collection of dense, fascinating bits and pieces from the Scott canon; Scott on JFK and Vietnam (politely devastating Noam Chomsky); Scott on Ruby, narcotics, Army Intelligence, the Great Southwest Corporation and so forth. If it’s not the massive, synthesising masterpiece I was hoping for it’s still a wonderful piece […]
[…] contacts with OSS. We might now reasonably expect a plausible hypothesis on the JFK assassination to include a role for both organisations. A crude Mob hit (with Ruby tidying-up the loose ends on the ground), followed by a sophisticated CIA-directed cover-up, perhaps? In Lobster 23 I hypothesized, semi-seriously, that the straw which finally triggered […]
[…] personality, with the aid of hypnosis’, a procedure which the good doctor described as ‘child’s play’. Estabrooks even offered the suggestion that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby ‘could very well have been performing through hypnosis.’ The article’s date? May 13, 1968, two weeks before the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy: the title? ‘To […]
[…] to Brussel, 300 is more like it. About Gemstone author Roberts there are merely rumours: that he died in 1977, of a brain tumour, claiming, like Jack Ruby, that he had been seeded with cancer cells; (2) that he worked for OSS during the war; (3) that he had been a student at the […]
[…] secret FBI undercover sting operation named CAMTEX. Exposed here for the first time, CAMTEX also yielded Marcello’s admission that he’d met Lee Harvey Oswald and set Jack Ruby up in business in Dallas. The operation also generated hundreds of hours of heretofore secret prison audio tapes of Marcello discussing his crimes, recorded using the […]
[…] so little about Texas politics and organised crime in the period. For example, it is still not possible to say for certain how significant a figure Jack Ruby was in organised crime. There is little information on the relationship between the mob, law enforcement and local politicians in Texas. There are just accounts which […]
