Oswald and Ruby
It is said that Lee Harvey Oswald received $200 periodically from FBI, as CIA introduced him to FBI. Oswald, a low-level secret agent of CIA, worked as an informant for FBI before the JFK Assassination.
On the other hand Jack Ruby was a Mafia guy who had been sent to Dallas from Chicago by a Mafia group for its business expansion.
The fact that Ruby killed Oswald in the Dallas Police Department building indicated that there was a connection between CIA, FBI and the Mafia around the JFK assassination.
And President Johnson never tried for real to find truth of the JFK assassination. President Nixon was intimidated by ex-CIA Hunt concerning the JFK assassination during the Watergate crisis.
So, it looks more reasonable to assume that Johnson and Nixon were involved in the JFK assassination than to believe that the JFK assassination was carried out by Oswald and Ruby alone.
Anyway the dangerous connection between CIA, FBI and the Mafia in 1960's seems to be gone nowadays, since Mr. Obama was elected as President after Mr. W. Bush.

[General Story]
Kennedy assassination investigation
As New Orleans D.A., Garrison began an investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy in late 1966, after receiving several tips from Jack Martin that a man named David Ferrie may have been involved in the assassination.[9][10] The end result of Garrison's investigation was the arrest and trial of New Orleans businessman Clay Shaw in 1969, with Shaw being unanimously acquitted less than one hour after the case went to the jury.[11][12][13]
Garrison was able to subpoena the Zapruder film from Life magazine and show it to the public for the first time. Until the trial, the film had rarely been seen, and bootleg copies made by assassination investigators working with Garrison led to the film's wider distribution.[14]
Garrison's key witness against Clay Shaw was Perry Russo, a 25-year-old insurance salesman from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. At the trial, Russo testified that he had attended a party at anti-Castro activist David Ferrie's apartment. At the party, Russo said that Lee Harvey Oswald (who Russo said was introduced to him as "Leon Oswald"), David Ferrie, and "Clem Bertrand" (who Russo identified in the courtroom as Clay Shaw) had discussed killing President Kennedy.[15] The conversation included plans for the "triangulation of crossfire" and alibis for the participants.[15]

[Oswald and Ferrie]
In December 1966, Garrison interviewed Jack Martin. Martin claimed that during the summer of 1963, David Ferrie, Guy Banister, Lee Harvey Oswald, and a group of anti-Castro Cuban exiles were involved in operations against Castro's Cuba that included gun running activities and burglarizing armories.[31] Garrison would later write: "The Banister apparatus ... was part of a supply line that ran along the Dallas—New Orleans—Miami corridor. These supplies consisted of arms and explosives for use against Castro's Cuba."[31]
According to testimony by Banister's personal secretary, Delphine Roberts, Ferrie and Oswald were frequent visitors to Banister's office in 1963

[Banister and Oswald]
On the afternoon of November 22, 1963, the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Banister and one of his investigators, Jack Martin, were drinking together at the Katzenjammer Bar, located next door to 544 Camp Street, New Orleans. On their return to Banister's office, the two men got into a dispute. Banister believed that Martin had stolen some files and drew his .357 magnum revolver, striking Martin with it several times. During the altercation Martin yelled: "What are you going to do — kill me like you all did Kennedy?" Martin was badly injured and treated at Charity Hospital.[19]
Over the next few days, Martin told authorities and reporters that anti-Castro activist David Ferrie had been involved in the assassination. He claimed that Ferrie knew Oswald from their days in the New Orleans Civil Air Patrol, and that Ferrie might have taught Oswald how to use a rifle with a telescopic sight.[20] Martin also claimed that Ferrie drove to Texas on the day of Kennedy's assassination, to serve as a getaway pilot for the assassins.[21]
Witnesses interviewed by the House Select Committee on Assassinations "... indicate Banister was aware of Oswald and his Fair Play for Cuba Committee before the assassination."[22] Banister's secretary, Delphine Roberts, told author Anthony Summers that Oswald "...seemed to be on familiar terms with Banister and with [Banister's] office." Roberts said, "As I understood it, he had the use of an office on the second floor, above the main office where we worked.... Then, several times, Mr. Banister brought me upstairs, and in the office above I saw various writings stuck up on the wall pertaining to Cuba. There were various leaflets up there pertaining to Fair Play for Cuba.'"[23] The House Select Committee on Assassinations investigated Roberts' claims and said that "...the reliability of her statements could not be determined."[24]

[Shaw, Ferrie, and Oswald]
On January 29, 1969, Clay Shaw was brought to trial on these charges. At the trial, witnesses testified that they saw Oswald with Clay Shaw and David Ferrie, in Clinton, Louisiana, just two months before the JFK assassination. Vernon Bundy testified that he saw Lee Oswald and Clay Shaw together on the seawall along Lake Pontchartrain, in New Orleans during July of 1963. He said Shaw spoke with Oswald and gave him some money. Also, Perry Russo testified that Oswald, David Ferrie, and Clay Shaw were present at a party at Ferrie's New Orleans apartment, in Sept. of 1963, at which they discussed the JFK assassination, including the use of a crossfire and having an alibi for that day. Shaw had been good friends with David Ferrie.
Some of the news media falsely labeled Perry Russo as being a drug addict in order to discredit his testimony.
Despite all this, on March 1, 1969, Clay Shaw was acquitted. The jurors felt there was a conspiracy to assassinate JFK, but they didn't think there was enough proof presented by Jim Garrison to convict him.

[Oswald and Rubby]
Did Jack Ruby Know Lee Harvey Oswald?
Feb 1, 2009 (rev. March 27, 2009)
There's no hard evidence that he did, but numerous people say they saw Oswald at Ruby's club, The Carousel, weeks before the JFK assassination.
by Don Fulsom
Jack Ruby (born Jacob Rubenstein) was a vulgar, violent, lowlife. But a proud one. He had risen from the Mob-dominated slums of Chicago—where, growing up, he'd run errands for Al Capone. Now, in 1963, Ruby ran his own striptease club in Dallas—seedy to some, but to Jack "a f----ing classy joint."
The Carousel was a run-down walkup on Commerce Street where Jack (or "Sparky," as the easily ignitable owner was known) oversaw a master of ceremonies, four strippers and a five-piece bump-and-grind band. On Commerce, flashing neon signs and scores of eight-by-ten glossy stock photos of near-nude gals beckoned horny guys to ascend the stairs and enjoy "Dallas's only nonstop burlesque."
Soon after Ruby murdered JFK assassination suspect Lee Harvey Oswald, Carousel emcee Bill Demar (Bill Crowe in real life) publicly identified Oswald as a recent patron. The magician-ventriloquist said he distinctly recalled Oswald because, as an audience member, Oswald had actually taken part in Demar's "memory act."

###
[Ruby and Ferrie]
How did this call connect Ruby to Ferrie? It's complicated. At the time, Ferrie was working for Gill, with Gill saying that Ferrie made long-distance calls from Gill's office at times. One of the residents of the Chicago apartment block was a young woman named Jean Aase. A few days before the assassination, Aase had gone to Dallas with a Chicago salesman named Larry Meyers, a married man about twice her age, who described her as a "dumb but accommodating broad", a "party girl", and a "semi-professional hooker". Meyers had dropped into Ruby's Carousel Club once on a visit to Dallas, and learning that Ruby was also from Chicago, struck up a friendship with him. Meyers liked to drop into the club when business brought him to Dallas, and on 20 November he brought Aase along and introduced her to Ruby. There was nothing more to it than that. Conspiracists find Meyers suspicious, but nobody ever found credible evidence that he was anything but what he seemed to be, a salesman.
OK, so that's the connection, such as it was, between Aase and Ruby. What about the connection between Aase and Ferrie? There wasn't much of one. Did Ferrie actually make the call? Gill was asked about the matter in 1967, but to no surprise, all he could reply was, essentially: "Who knows?" That ambiguity did not disturb Garrison, nor the did the fact that the Chicago apartment block had over a hundred apartments, and the call record said nothing about who the caller was trying to get in touch with. Garrison took great stock in "propinquity" -- that is, if two or more people crossed paths in any way, that implied an association between them. It wasn't that important to him to actually validate such an association; propinquity was good enough.

[Ruby, Oswald, CIA, and the Mafia]
Ruby's gun running was at least partly done with former CIA agent Thomas Eli Davis. (Henry Hurt, Reasonable Doubt, pgs 401-405) And Davis' connections reportedly went all the way up to the CIA assassin famously code named QJ/WIN. Davis had a slight resemblance to Oswald and he used the name Oswald at times in his work. (ibid, p. 402) In fact, Ruby was so close to Davis that, after he shot Oswald, Ruby actually volunteered Davis' name to his attorneys. Incredibly, Ruby said that if he beat the Oswald rap he wanted to go back into the gun running business with Davis.
...
The man who Ruby was closest to in Havana was the mob associated gambler, Lewis McWillie. Elaine Mynier, a girlfriend of McWillie, described the two men. She said McWillie was "...a big time gambler, who has always been in the big money and operated top gambling establishments in the United States and Cuba. He always had a torpedo (a bodyguard) living with him for protection." She went on to say that Ruby was "a small time character who would do anything for McWillie ... (Marrs, p. 393, italics added) The Commission had to have known that McWillie was a gambler and killer who Ruby idolized. (WC Vol. V, p. 201, Vol. XXIII, p. 166) While managing the Tropicana in Havana, McWillie became associated with some of the Mob's top leaders like Santo Trafficante and Meyer Lansky, who were part owners. (FBI Memo of 3/26/64)
...
In fact, this aspect of Ruby's life – his relations to CIA-Mafia activities in Cuba – was obvious to even Commission staffers. Warren Commission attorneys Leon Hubert and Burt Griffin, who ran the Ruby investigation, wrote a memo to Chief Counsel J. Lee Rankin in March of 1964. They wrote that, "The most promising links between Jack Ruby and the assassination of President Kennedy are established through underworld figures and anti-Castro Cubans and extreme right-wing Americans." (John Armstrong, Harvey and Lee, p. 948) Two months later, they wrote another memo: "We believe that a reasonable possibility exists that Ruby has maintained a close interest in Cuban affairs to the extent necessary to participate in gun sales and smuggling ... Neither Oswald's Cuban interests in Dallas nor Ruby's Cuban activities have been adequately explored
...
Because clearly those three areas of evidence would suggest the following:
1. Ruby and Oswald shared connections to the CIA and the Mafia
2. Ruby and Oswald knew each other through their experience in the Cuban crisis as extended into the USA
3. Ruby used his police contacts to enter the basement of City Hall and kill Oswald.
If this were all made clear to the viewer, one implication would be this. The CIA contacted one of the mobsters that they used in the plots to kill Castro: they needed some help again. From there the word was then sent down through intermediaries to Ruby. Ruby then used his extensive network of police contacts to silence Oswald before he could talk. All one needs to do to make this credible is recall the words of McWillie's girlfriend Elaine Mynier. She said that Ruby would do anything for McWillie. McWillie knew Trafficante since he had worked for him in Cuba. McWillie was also in contact with Ruby the month before the Kennedy assassination. Finally, Trafficante was one of the two main Cosa Nostra chieftains the CIA used in their (unsuccessful) plots to kill Fidel Castro. This time, it looks like they pulled it off.

[Ex-CIA E.H. Hunt]
JFK Murder Plot "Deathbed Confession" Aired On National Radio
Former CIA agent, Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt names the men who killed Kennedy
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Monday, April 30, 2007
The "deathbed confession" audio tape in which former CIA agent and Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt admits he was approached to be part of a CIA assassination team to kill JFK was aired this weekend - an astounding development that has gone completely ignored by the establishment media.
Saint John Hunt, son of E. Howard Hunt, appeared on the nationally syndicated Coast to Coast Live radio show on Saturday night to discuss the revelations contained in the tape.
Hunt said that his father had mailed cassette the tape to him alone in January 2004 and asked that it be released after his death. The tape was originally 20 minutes long but was edited down to four and a half minutes for the Coast to Coast broadcast. Hunt promises that the whole tape will be uploaded soon at his website.
Click here to listen to a clip of the tape.
(http://prisonplanet.com/audio/300407jfktape.mp3)
E. Howard Hunt names numerous individuals with both direct and indirect CIA connections as having played a role in the assassination of Kennedy, while describing himself as a "bench warmer" in the plot. Saint John Hunt agreed that the use of this term indicates that Hunt was willing to play a larger role in the murder conspiracy had he been required.
Hunt alleges on the tape that then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the planning of the assassination and in the cover-up, stating that LBJ, "Had an almost maniacal urge to become president, he regarded JFK as an obstacle to achieving that."

[Gangster Brading]
Eugene Hale Brading (also known as James Lee and Jim Braden) developed a long criminal record while living in California. Arrested 35 times he had convictions for burglary, illegal bookmaking and embezzlement.
On 21st November, 1963, Brading arrived in Dallas with a man named Morgan Brown. They stayed in Suite 301 of the Cabana Motel. Later that day Brading visited the offices of Texas oil billionaire Haroldson L. Hunt. It is believed that Jack Ruby was in the offices at the same time as Brading.
After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Brading was arrested and taken in for interrogation because he had been "acting suspiciously" in the Dal-Tex Building, overlooking Dealey Plaza. Brading told the police he was in Dallas on oil business and had gone into the building to make a phone call. Brading was released without charge.
Brading returned to his room at the Cabana Motel. It was later established that Jack Ruby visited the motel around midnight.

[Financier Hunt]
Oil Baron H. L. Hunt
Conspiracy theorists are generally suspicious of the late Texas oil billionaire H. L. Hunt. Hunt was a rabid right-wing extremist with intelligence connections. According to one of Hunt's special assistants, Hunt's top aides often heard him say that America would be "much better off without Kennedy" (5:277). On one occasion Hunt reportedly expressed his desire to see JFK shot (21:215).
The day before the assassination, Eugene Hale Brading, a Mafia man with a long arrest record, visited Hunt's office building in Dallas. Brading was arrested in Dealey Plaza on the day of the shooting when he was found to have taken an elevator to the ground floor of the Dal-Tex Building shortly after the shots were fired. Brading was released, however, because he gave the police an alias. While in Dallas, Brading stayed at the Cabana Hotel.
Jack Ruby visited that hotel, and Hunt's office building, on November 21. Moreover, according to Hunt's former chief aide, John Curington, Marina Oswald met with Hunt two days before the shooting.
On November 23, Hunt asked his chief aide to see what kind of security the police had for Oswald. The aide reported that Oswald had very little protection and that security was very lax at police headquarters where Oswald was being kept. Hunt flew to Washington, D.C., shortly after receiving this report. Oswald was killed on November 24.
Dick Russell's book THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH contains an important examination of H. L. Hunt's troubling activities before and after the assassination, as does Livingstone's KILLING THE TRUTH (see also 5:276-278 and 10:568, 573-574).

[Ruby, Meyers, Army Security Agency, and Pepsi Cola]
Ed Meyers and his companion Jean Aase moved to the Cabana from the Love Field Ramada because, Meyers later said, of the noise at the airport.
Meyers would later recall that he had previously stayed at the Cabana on other occasions he was in Dallas, including the grand opening gala, which was said to be quite an affair since Doris Day was one of the owners and the Cabana would become known for its high powered Hollywood entertainment.
Lawrence Meyers’ brother Ed was staying at the classically refined Adolphis Hotel, across the street from the seedy Carousel Club, but Ed and his wife Thelma came over to the Cabana for a special party. Ed and Thelma owned a number of Pepsi Cola franchises in Brooklyn, New York, and had just returned from Mexico City where they met with Larry’s son Ralph, who was also said to be registered at the Cabana that night. Ralph had served in the Army Security Agency, was trained in Russian and the Monterey Language Institute and served at a top-secret base in Turkey before being sheep-dipped as a Chicago bus driver. He was then working as a journalist in Mexico City.
Larry Meyers and his girlfriend Jean, Ed Meyers and Ed’s wife and maybe Ralph, would later be joined at the Meyers’ table by Jack Ruby. They would all eat dinner, have a few drinks and share a toast and a few laughs on a typical Thursday night in Dallas. None of them were aware of the catastrophic events that would overtake them the next day. Or were they?
The circumstances of that evening would never be adequately explained, the official chronology of events, whether by contrivance or mistake, can be shown to be wrong, significant lines of inquiry would be left dangling as loose ends that would never be completely resolved.
In reconstructing the events around the assassination of President Kennedy, the official government investigators put together a chronology of Jack Ruby’s activities, beginning with the morning of the assassination, Friday, November 22, 1963. According to the Warren Report: “Scrutiny of Ruby’s activities during the several days preceding the President’s arrival in Dallas has revealed no indication of any unusual activity.”

[Hoover]
The following is the text of a memo written by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to his associate, Clyde Tolson concerning his control of the Warren Commission investigation and the treatment of Lee Harvey Oswald as the "lone assassin."
...Mr. Rankin of the difficulty about the Department's desire to issue certain conclusions; that they wanted to issue a statement before the report went to the Commission with the conclusion Oswald was the assassin, no foreign or subversive elements involved, and Rubenstein and Oswald had no connection; that I flatly disagreed; they took
it up with the White House and the President agreed with me that we should reach no conclusion; nevertheless the report does reach two conclusions in substance.
I said I personally believe Oswald was the assassin; that the second aspect as to whether he was the only man gives me great concern; that we have several letters, not in the report because we were not able to prove it, written to him from Cuba referring to the job he was going to do, his good marksmanship, and stating when it was all over he would be brought back to Cuba and presented to the chief; but we do not know if the chief was Castro and cannot make an investigation because we have no intelligence operation in Cuba; that I did not put this into the report because we did not have proof of it and didn't want to put speculation in the report; that this was the reason I urged strongly that we not reach conclusion Oswald was the only man.
...
In connection with stories indicating that Oswald could not have done this alone, I stated he was a marksman and it wasn't anything he
could not do; that we have tested it on our rifle range and were able to get shots off even faster than he did; that there is no question in my mind about it; that we also found the fingerprints and the bullets so conclusively fired from the gun; that we have all this and we have all the photographs.

[Onassis]
When the Suez Canal closed in 1956, Onassis made millions because he was the only independent ship owner with enough available tankers to transport oil around Africa's Cape of Good Hope. It was around that time that Onassis first met Jackie Kennedy when she and John F. Kennedy went for drinks aboard Onassis's yacht, Christina.
Onassis and Athina had two children — Alexander, born in 1948, and Christina, born in 1950 — but the marriage was far from perfect. Onassis was a serial adulterer, and his wife could not ignore the infidelities. She became addicted to alcohol and painkillers. The marriage unraveled for good when Onassis began a very public affair with opera singer Maria Callas, and the couple divorced in 1960. By that time, Onassis was one of the richest men in the world.
FACT
Onassis invited the young senator and his wife on board the yacht to meet Sir Winston Churchill, one of John F. Kennedy's idols. While the meeting between Churchill and Kennedy was anticlimactic, Onassis was immediately taken with Jackie.
