Jack Ruby
New novel Saving Jackie K discusses the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of murdering JFK, but didn’t live to stand trial. Jack Ruby gunned him down two days after his arrest. Who was Ruby? Was he involved in a conspiracy? Why did he kill Oswald?

Born in Chicago of Polish immigrant parents, Jacob Rubenstein legally changed his name to Jack Ruby in 1947, the same year he moved to Texas. A lifelong bachelor, Ruby owned and operated two Dallas nightspots—the Carousel Club, a downtown nightclub featuring striptease dancers, and the Vegas Club, a rock-and-roll establishment in the Oaklawn section of Dallas. Although a friend to local law enforcement, the hot-tempered Ruby allegedly had ties to organized crime.

On the day of the Kennedy assassination, Jack Ruby went about his customary business. While visiting the advertising offices of the Dallas Morning News to submit his regular weekend ad, he heard the gut-wrenching news that his president had been shot.

Two days later, on November 24, 1963, Jack Ruby entered the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters, where Lee Harvey Oswald was being escorted to an armored car for the journey to a county lock-up. Bypassing a cordon of police officers, Ruby shot Oswald in the abdomen, an act inadvertently captured on live television by reporters filming the prisoner transfer.
Ruby was convicted of Oswald’s murder and spent his remaining days in prison. He disavowed any participation in a conspiracy plot: “I am as innocent regarding any conspiracy as any of you gentlemen in the room.” His lawyers appealed his death-sentence conviction on grounds of lack of a fair trial in Dallas, but Ruby expired from lung cancer while waiting for a new court date.

Conspiracy theorists allege that the Mafia ordered Ruby to kill Oswald in order to ‘silence’ him. Ruby himself claimed he wanted to spare JFK’s widow, Jackie Kennedy from the trauma of testifying at Oswald’s trial: “I felt somehow in my little bit of a way I could save Mrs. Kennedy the ordeal of coming back for trial here.”

In daring new novel Saving Jackie K, the clock ticks down as the tension mounts up, propelling the characters on a non-stop thrill-ride to an inescapable destination: Dealey Plaza in Dallas. The site of JFK’s brutal assassination back in 1963, the park has remained virtually the same over the past fifty years.
 “Saving Jackie K” Novel by LDC Fitzgerald.

George Bannerman Dealey—longtime publisher of the Dallas Morning News—used his influence to campaign for redevelopment of the plaza, which had become neglected and run-down in the 1930s. His efforts inspired revitalization of the park, and as a result, it bears his name. A larger-than-life statue of the powerful business mogul in the plaza pays him homage.

Dominating the park on the northwest corner of Elm and Houston Streets is the Texas School Book Depository Building, formerly with its fabled Hertz billboard and clock on the roof. The seven-story brick building was a regional textbook storage and redistribution center in 1963. Employee Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired his Mannlicher-Carcano rifle from the sixth-floor southeast window at the president’s motorcade.

North of Elm Street is a concrete structure called the Pergola. About one hundred feet long, the rounded concrete trellis has a semi-enclosed back and top with a latticework of gaping rectangles. The Pergola sits atop a sloping hill known as the Grassy Knoll. Many conspiracy experts theorize that shots were also fired from the Grassy Knoll or from behind the stockade fence.

At 12:29 pm on November 22, 1963, President Kennedy’s motorcade made a sharp left onto Elm Street from Houston Street, entering Dealey Plaza. American and presidential flags billowed from the front quarter panels of his specially designed Lincoln convertible. As the spectators cheered, President and Mrs. Kennedy smiled and waved at the crowd. At 12:30 pm, shots rang out, echoing throughout the plaza. The motorcade sped away, transporting the fatally wounded president to Parkland Memorial Hospital. He was declared dead thirty minutes later.

JFK Assassination
Although the majority of Americans alive today had not yet been born when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, you can bet most have a theory about who killed the thirty-fifth president of the United States. Relentlessly researched novel, Saving Jackie K, weaves actual events with fictional scenes to reveal the “truth.” But what do the historical records purport?



At 12:30 pm on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was struck down by sniper bullets as he rode through Dealey Plaza, Dallas, in an open limousine. Hundreds of horrified spectators heard the staccato gunfire, and witnessed the fatal headshot that spattered his Lincoln convertible with bloody tissue.

Eighty minutes later, Lee Harvey Oswald – an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza – was arrested for murdering dedicated Dallas police officer, J.D. Tippit. He was later accused of the presidential assassination as well. Oswald allegedly fired his bolt-action Mannlicher-Carcano rifle at JFK from a window on the sixth floor of the book warehouse.
Despite the charges, Oswald never faced trial. Two days later, burlesque club owner Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald in the basement of police headquarters, as lawmen prepared to transfer the suspect to the county jail. The violence shocked an already grieving nation, when network television cameras inadvertently broadcast the execution on live television.

Kennedy’s successor, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to chair a committee tasked with investigating Kennedy’s assassination. After ten months of testimony and hearings, the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as the lone gunman responsible for all the shots. However, the majority of Americans blame a broader conspiracy, and suspect a massive cover-up of the truth.

In a recent interview regarding the conspiracy, JFK author and assassination historian L.D.C. Fitzgerald said, “The dialogue of the past half a century needs to continue. Whether you’re a staunch lone-nutter or an avid conspiracy theorist, the JFK assassination is a topic that will continue to fascinate, infuriate, and frustrate for decades to come.”

Comments Off on The Truth About The JFK Assassination
The Mafia

When JFK was inaugurated in 1961, he appointed his kid brother, Robert Francis Kennedy, to the post of US Attorney General. The choice proved controversial. Eight years the president’s junior, the thirty-five year old seemed young, inexperienced, and unqualified for the cabinet-level position. However, in the late 1950s, he had already squared off against organized crime as chief counsel for the Senate Labor Racket Committee. And, he published the book, “The Enemy Within,” a treatise on corrupt practices within the Teamsters’ Union.

Despite cries of nepotism, RFK accepted the role and became JFK’s closest advisor. He immediately began a relentless crusade against the Mafia. Bobby Kennedy set his sights on Jimmy Hoffa, known Mafia boss and president of the Teamsters’ Union. As head of the largest union, with over 1.5 million members, Hoffa was widely recognized for corruption both inside and outside the organization.
Robert Kennedy’s goals to bring down the Mafia clashed with those of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who was seen as lenient on organized crime. Nevertheless, RFK continued his pursuit of mob bosses and influencers, with the cooperation of his brother and president, John F. Kennedy.

When President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, many theorized that the Mafia might have orchestrated the hit in retaliation for Bobby’s crackdown on unions and organized crime. The fact that accused sniper Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby fueled the fire for this hypothesis. Ruby allegedly maintained loose ties to the Mob through his nightclubs.
Saving Jackie K explores foreign nations with a grudge against President John F. Kennedy as possible conspirators in his assassination. But the thrilling new novel also considers groups within the United States. In particular, did the Mafia have a motive for plotting against the president?
