Chapter Fourteen<br />

The Errand Boy:<br />

Jack Ruby Was More "Mossad" Than "Mafia"<br />

Jack Ruby's connections to the criminal underworld are<br />

well-documented. However, what is almost always ignored is<br />

Ruby's integral link to the Meyer Lansky Crime<br />

Syndicate—not "the Mafia. And while there are occasional<br />

references to Ruby's CIA connections, his equally profound<br />

ties to Israeli intelligence are strictly ignored.<br />

A complete examination of the real Jack Ruby—not the<br />

Ruby of legend—points further toward the likelihood of<br />

Mossad involvement in the assassination of President<br />

Kennedy.<br />

Organized crime historian Stephen Fox has called Dallas nightclub<br />

operator Jack Ruby "the smoking gun, the stone, the trout in the<br />

milk" in the JFK assassination conspiracy. 442<br />

Ironically, not only did Ruby silence Oswald and help perpetuate the<br />

JFK assassination conspiracy and cover-up, but he also added fuel to the fire<br />

of speculation as a consequence. Had Lee Harvey Oswald died of a heart<br />

attack in the Dallas jail, rather than at the hands of a mob-linked thug named<br />

Jack Ruby, suspicion of a conspiracy might not have evolved so quickly.<br />

Yet, when Jack Ruby stepped into the public limelight and eliminated<br />

Oswald, attention was focused on the strange background of the Chicagoborn<br />

underworld figure who had killed the alleged assassin.<br />

Ruby's criminal ties are legendary. But Jack Ruby was not—repeat not—<br />

"Mafia." And he was more than just a "Mafia associate."<br />

Ruby, in fact, was very much a part of the Meyer Lansky Crime<br />

Syndicate and, what's more—the Warren Commission's conclusions<br />

notwithstanding—was also working for Lansky's longtime collaborators in<br />

the CIA and with Israel's Mossad (documented in detail in Chapter 8.)<br />

The late Bernard Fensterwald, one of the leading JFK assassination<br />

researchers, documented Ruby's Lansky connection in his encyclopedic<br />

work, Coincidence or Conspiracy:<br />

"Ruby told the Warren Commission on June 7, 1964 about his 1959<br />

visit to [Lewis] McWillie in Havana, and also spoke of knowing<br />

McWillie's bosses. Interestingly enough, McWillie's bosses at that time<br />

were Meyer and Jake Lansky. Ruby mysteriously spoke of meeting two<br />

brothers who'd owned the Tropicana Casino which McWillie managed.<br />

Ruby said he was unsure of their last name but thought it had been Fox. It<br />

has long been known that Meyer and Jake Lansky were in fact the two key<br />

Tropicana owners. The Tropicana had been a cornerstone of their Cuban<br />

holdings.
