When it comes to the JFK assassination story, Jack Ruby, the assassin of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, gets perhaps less attention than any other important character. This is why Tom O’Neill’s 2019 book, “CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties” is a contribution to the literature of JFK’s assassination.

“CHAOS” offers the most insightful study yet of Ruby’s mental state before and after his murder of Oswald, as well as the diagnoses of psychiatrists who examined the Dallas nightclub owner.

What O’Neill’s book shows is this:

Jack Ruby may very well have been tampered with by a doctor in the pay of the CIA as a way of squelching suspicions of conspiracy in the case of the murdered president.

What is certain is that Dr. Louis Jolyon West, a renowned psychiatrist at the University of Oklahoma and subcontractor for the CIA’s mind-control program known as MK-ULTRA, examined Ruby and pronounced on his sanity while concealing his work for the CIA from JFK investigators and the public.
