THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Jack Ruby kills Lee Harvey Oswald – 1963

Via History.com

At 12:20 p.m., in the basement of the Dallas police station, Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy, is shot to death by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner.

On November 22, President Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in an open-car motorcade through the streets of downtown Dallas. Less than an hour after the shooting, Lee Harvey Oswald killed a policeman who questioned him on the street. Thirty minutes after that, he was arrested in a movie theater by police. Oswald was formally arraigned on November 23 for the murders of President Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit.

On November 24, Oswald was brought to the basement of the Dallas police headquarters on his way to a more secure county jail. A crowd of police and press with live television cameras rolling gathered to witness his departure. As Oswald came into the room, Jack Ruby emerged from the crowd and fatally wounded him with a single shot from a concealed .38 revolver. Ruby, who was immediately detained, claimed that rage at Kennedy’s murder was the motive for his action. Some called him a hero, but he was nonetheless charged with first-degree murder.

Jack Ruby, originally known as Jacob Rubenstein, operated strip joints and dance halls in Dallas and had minor connections to organized crime. He also had a relationship with a number of Dallas policemen, which amounted to various favors in exchange for leniency in their monitoring of his establishments. He features prominently in Kennedy-assassination theories, and many believe he killed Oswald to keep him from revealing a larger conspiracy. In his trial, Ruby denied the allegation and pleaded innocent on the grounds that his great grief over Kennedy’s murder had caused him to suffer “psychomotor epilepsy” and shoot Oswald unconsciously. The jury found him guilty of the “murder with malice” of Oswald and sentenced him to die.

In October 1966, the Texas Court of Appeals reversed the decision on the grounds of improper admission of testimony and the fact that Ruby could not have received a fair trial in Dallas at the time. In January 1967, while awaiting a new trial, to be held in Wichita Falls, Ruby died of lung cancer in a Dallas hospital.

The official Warren Commission report of 1964 concluded that neither Oswald nor Ruby were part of a larger conspiracy, either domestic or international, to assassinate President Kennedy. Despite its seemingly firm conclusions, the report failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the event, and in 1978 the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in a preliminary report that Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy” that may have involved multiple shooters and organized crime. The committee’s findings, as with those of the Warren Commission, continue to be widely disputed.

The government told us, there was no conspiracy, so that is that.

BTW – Epstein did not kill himself. He is not dead.

Have you seen him? No one is so important that they’re immune to death by Deep State. Patton and Kennedy are proof of that.

I HEAR YOU PAINT HOUSES

“The hit on Kennedy was a Chicago/CIA operation directed on the ground by Marcello according to what Hoffa told Sheeran. Chicago had planted their own cops in Dallas that fateful day under the watchful eye of Jack Ruby. Ruby had established links to Dallas cops who frequented his Carousel Club. Two cops, J D Tippit and Rosco White were supposed to kill Lee Oswald. Apparently Oswald got the drop on them and escaped, killing Tippit in the process. Ruby had blown his assignment setting him up like Sheeran was in the Whispers arson case. Ruby now had to clean up the mess he made. He had open access to the Dallas police station and was the perfect choice to kill Oswald. As it turns out Ruby had no choice, lest he wind up like ‘Action’ Jackson

In 1961 William Jackson was a 350 pound enforcer for the Chicago outfit. He was suspected of being an informant for the FBI, a certain death sentence. Giancana would use his murder to send an unmistakable message to all other potential rats. Jackson was taken to a mob run slaughterhouse where he was impaled on a meat hook through his rectum and tortured for three days until he died. They took pictures of his corpse to pass around the Outfit. There is no doubt Ruby got the message. His choice was to kill Oswald or die hanging on a meathook.”

Or he did it because felt badly for Jackie.

You decide.

Funny how national public school ‘ educators ‘ bravely bring to question the official Thanksgiving- feel good-narrative , but never darken the doorway of any other dubious historical account DC tends to stamp as official, such as the JFK assassination, Tonkin Bay or ________ ( insert your favorite official bullshit story here).

Femtards posing as ‘educators ‘ can’t even let the kids have one day of traditional festive joy without raising the spectre of shame and guilt for sins their ancestors may or may not have committed. When it comes to radicalizing kids, there are no sacred Americana cows the Bolshevik controlled public education will not slaughter.

These so called educators, may know what they do, but the demonic forces behind their passive/aggressive attacks against American traditions, values and culture does.

Elementary schools present a particularly tough challenge, explains Noreen Rodriguez, a professor of Elementary Social Studies at Iowa State University, in part because the teachers are less likely to have advanced degrees in the subject matter—their coursework is more likely to have been about pedagogical methods, not content—and are thus more likely to fall back on memories of what they themselves learned in school. Zipporah Smith, a third-grade teacher in Des Moines, says some colleagues have been reluctant to update Thanksgiving lessons because they have “such fond memories of the Thanksgiving activities they did in school.”
U.S.

“The most dangerous phrase in education is, ‘But we have always done it this way,’” echoes Mascareñaz.

We must vote harder. #MAGA

‘The U.S.A. is not any different than any other empire. The entire “land of the free” narrative is an unmitigated lie. The U.S.A. ceased to be a voluntary association in 1865, it ceased to be American in 1913, and it ceased to be European in 1965.”

The Federal government is criminal organization built upon an constantly shifting foundation of lies…. nothing more.

” When people ask me why I don’t believe any Official Narrative, from the Moon landing to the unemployment rate, my answer is always the same: because the U.S. government says it is true. In my experience, this is almost never the case. The Official Narrative and the elements of the truth that can be confirmed very rarely correspond.” Vox Day

That Dallas police station sure had some fan-fuckin-tastic security when Lee Harvey O. encountered that nice Jewish man, Jack Rubenstein, that fateful day:
