Re-living That Second Murder of Defenseless Men, 1962

Today is the 44th anniversay since that fateful day when former nightclub owner and Mobster shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald in cold blood as the nation watched on television. I saw it, and it was unbelievable that the Dallas police would let him get that close. Oswald was shackled with his hands behind him and had no way to know that something like this could happen. Only in Texas, where they killed President John F. Kennedy two days earlier! In this country, a person is innocent until proven guilty, or supposedly that is the law of the land. In Dallas, it seems that Oswald had been set up to die to shut him and keep him from talking about his co-conspirators in the assassination on November 22, 1962. He was a dead duck and a sacrifice. Ruby did not kill him because he was insane or "loved" the president. He killed him so that we would never know the truth. They had chosen him to be appointed the trigger man, although the person in the grassy mall was the real assassin. He had libed in Russia and married a Russian girl, so he was expendable and his past would make it appear as if he was the actual trigger man. I have never believed that he was, and an innocent man was shot down in the presence of the police and media with no defense. He was the person less worthy of living, according to the Mob and Ruby's bosses in the sleazy, sordid underworld in which he was a minor player. He, too, was expendable and the cancer of his prostate came in handy to set him free to die in peace and from natural causes, not gunned down as he did Oswald. The world will never forget that American justice allowed this to happen and treated it as a happenstance. This author is giving us a first-person account of those days in Dallas from the historic and on-the-scene perspective. He knew Ruby from the days he had been a reporter on a Dallas newspaper. He saw Ruby in Parkland Hospital an hour after Kennedy was shot. That is not a happenstance. He was in on the conspiracy to kill the president and to get rid of the person who had been chosen to take the blame. Just as the person who was judged guilty of the Martin Luther King murder, James Earl Ray, who spent the rest of his life and died in prison for something he did not do. He was paid and sent off to England. How was he caught there? Some snitched on him, and he was the fall guy, the one to take the blame for something another conspiracy which succeeded. Seth Kantor was a member of the White House correspondents whose article, HOUSTON, Nov. 21 -- "The story of President and Mrs. Kennedy's 'non-political' trip to Texas is chock full of bad timing and highly political backfires." This ran on the front pages of 'The New Yokr World-Telegram & Sun,'The Denver Rocky Mountain News,' and other Scripps-Howard newspapaer all across the country. Our local daily paper is owned by Scripps. He exposes the sinister world of Jack Ruby and his conspirators, was not believed at first, but when he made an
