Reply #53: An honest question to those who believe Oswald was a lone nut...

[Mortimer Ichabod]

I am new to the JFK Assassination scene, but that quote from Jack Ruby just jumps out at me like a lightning bolt.

Jack Ruby: "The world will never know the true facts, of what occurred, my motive. The people who had so much to gain, and had such an ulterior motive, to put me in the position I am in, will never let the true facts come above board for the world." - Commentator: "Are these people in very high positions, Jack?" - Jack Ruby: "Yes!"

Why would Ruby say this? I understand he had a deathbed confession but if what he is saying above is true, wouldn't a more reasonable explanation be the confession was to protect others?
