Fix the Bus

There’s something bothering me about Jack Ruby.

I can’t function until I resolve this.

When did Jack Ruby become so committed to killing Lee Oswald?

Obviously, Ruby was emotionally distraught.

If he was committed to killing Oswald when he parked his car shortly after 11 o’clock in downtown Dallas, why did he stop and go into the Western Union office?

As he approached Western Union he could clearly see a police presence down the street in front of the police department.

There was only a few hundred feet between the police department and the Western Union office.

Since he knew that Oswald was being transported,, and that such transfer was most likely responsible for the police presence, why didn’t he abandon the Western Union transfer of money to Little Lynn?

Why would he want to miss his date with destiny?

It seems logical that Jack Ruby was just as committed to killing Oswald when he woke up in the morning on 11/24/63 as he was shortly after he parked his car in downtown Dallas shortly after 11 o’clock.

If that was the case, and he knew that he had a date with destiny, why didn’t he allow his roommate George Senator to pay Little Lynn the money?

Why would he want something as trite as a Western Union money transfer interfere with his moment of purported greatness?

Furthermore, if he was as committed to killing Oswald, as we believe he was, why would he approach the Main Street ramp?

He didn’t know what obstacles were down that ramp.

(Or did he know? Wait stop!!! Wrong pathway. Danger, Will Robinson. Of course, Jack Ruby didn’t know. Everything is random.)

It was a special day.

It was not like any other day.

For all Ruby knew, there were five cops down there setting up a barricade.

What would happen if he got stopped and turned back halfway down that ramp?

He would miss his date with destiny.

He would miss his chance to be a big man in history.

Does it sound logical that Jack Ruby would chance missing that date?

No, what seems more logical is that Jack Ruby would take another approach into the police station garage.

He would take a route more secure.

He would take the back way.

But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I want to stick to the matter at hand.

Why would he go into the Western Union station and try to make a transfer of money to Little Lynn at all?

He didn’t know how quickly Doyle Lane, the attendant behind the counter, could get to him.

Maybe Doyle Lane was busy.

Maybe he had just finished up with a customer and had much paper work to do.

Maybe he was having difficulty with some of the business machinery within the Western Union office.

Jack Ruby didn’t know that.

So why would he take a chance on the unknown interfering with his date with destiny?

He wouldn’t.

He would only do so unless he knew ahead of time that Western Union was not going to interfere with his big opportunity.

In other words, the clock doesn’t start rolling on the Oswald killing until Jack Ruby comes out of that Western Union building.

That’s why Jack Ruby didn’t delegate sending the money transfer to George Senator.

That’s why Jack Ruby didn’t care about making that transfer of money himself.

He knew ahead of time that the money transfer was not going to make any difference at all.

In fact what he did know was that the money transfer was going to document him being in the Western Union building at a specific time – in this case 11:17 AM.

That was necessary to give the illusion of randomness to the suckers known as the citizens of the United States of America – people who to this day, still live in Walt, Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

Jack Ruby also knew that once he came out of that building a signal would be sent to begin transferring Oswald to the garage at the bottom of the police station.

That’s how Ruby and Oswald met with such precision.

Ruby, set the ball in motion.

The key to a magic trick is deception.

The magician is going to make you think that everything is normal in the world,, but …. everything is not normal.

The magician has deceived you.

Every time we see a new magic trick, we are flummoxed. We can’t seem to figure out how the magician did it.

Then, when we are shown how the magician did it, we are amazed at how simple the solution is.

Why aren’t we able to figure out that solution ahead of time – before it is revealed to us?

The short answer is because we can’t.

The long answer is this:

1. Our minds are amazed at what transpired. Amazement is an emotion that clouds our rational thinking.

2. We want to believe in magic because magic is easy. Thinking requires work.

3. We don’t want to admit that we are a dumb ass for not figuring it out, so it’s better and easier for us to leave the solution as magic.

If we choose to figure it out, though, we have to challenge our assumptions. In any magic trick, there are assumptions of normality. The world exists as we expect it to exist. In a magic trick, though, the world does not exist in the way we expect it to

Usually in a magic trick the magician has altered the materials he is using.

The magician is a deceiver.

If he is cutting a girl in half inside a box, that box is not your typical box as we know it.

In the case of Jack Ruby, people are not behaving as we expect them to behave.

We expect people to behave honestly, morally, and in accordance with truth.

A magician never tells the truth. He can’t. If he did, there would be no magic.

In the case of Jack Ruby and Oswald, not everyone inside the police department is behaving in an honest manner.

As Jack Ruby is coming out of the Western Union building he is signaling to someone up the street or across the street that he is on the move.

He is only a few hundred feet away from the police garage.

That person up the street or across the street is signaling to someone inside the building to where Oswald is being kept that Jack Ruby is on the move.

The move of Oswald is then engaged and the trick is performed.

We assume that the world is working randomly, according to the way that things seem to happen.

But the world is not moving randomly.

The world is moving magically.

The root of the word magic is the Greek word magi which refers to an ancient tribe, the Magi, and their priestly class.

The key word here is priestly. Magi is referring to the priests – the men in charge, the shamans who can wave their hands through the air and make things so.

These shamans, these priests, these Magi are not of a time gone by; they are still with us in the form of duplicitous politicians and schemers who with the wave of a hand can make truth disappear simply by stating a lie.

Magic, defies, orderliness, and logicality. With magic, there is no logical basis to what has transpired before us. Magic just happens.

Magic is random.

There is no rhyme or reason to it. It can not be explained.

As we all know, there is a rhyme and reason to it. It’s just that we don’t know it.

Is this magic randomness not the essence of the Warren Commission report?

Is this not the essence of Jack Ruby’s purported date with destiny?

The shamans and Magi on the Warren Commission would have us believe that Jack Ruby was impulsive and emotional, after hearing of JFK’s death. He randomly got up in the morning on 11/24/63 made himself breakfast, bathed, dressed, then got in his car. He took Sheba his dog with him as he always did. Leaving Sheba in the car after parking, he went into the Western Union office, sent a wire transfer of money to Little Lynn, exited the building, walked down to the Main Street ramp to the police garage, encountered the reporters who were waiting for Oswald. Then a few moments later, Lee Oswald showed up and Jack Ruby killed him.

Sure.

Just like magic everybody came together at the right time.
