The questions are easily answered... let's go through them one by one.

Who ordered Jack Ruby to do that? - The Mafia. His calls to major Mafia figures dramatically increased in the weeks before the assassination. The Warren Commission was so embarrassed at Jack Ruby's Mafia connections, that they chose to simply lie about it.

If Jack Ruby was ordered to do that, why was he still at home in his underwear when Oswald was scheduled to be transferred. - Because some members of the DPD were involved. This was really simple, Oswald WAS NOT GOING TO BE MOVED UNTIL RUBY SHOWED UP. I really have to laugh that believers can't understand this simple explanation...

Why was he still at the Western Union office just minutes before Oswald was actually transferred? - Same answer as above. Oswald wasn't going anywhere until Ruby arrived. Quite simple.

Why did he bring his favorite dog along with him and leave her in his car? - Sheer habit, most likely. This question presupposes that criminals commit perfect crimes all the time - carefully staging everything to perfection. Quite silly, actually... criminals are normally not the smarter members of humanity. And although it's claimed that Jack Ruby was actually a tad smarter than the average, clearly he couldn't judge the consequences of his actions.

But I'll remember to bring my dog to the next crime I commit, so that believers will accept it as evidence of innocence.

Why wasn't Jack Ruby killed to keep him quiet? - You don't need to kill someone to keep them quiet... you merely need to convince them that the consequences of talking too much will mean the death of their loved ones.

Now, real critics could easily have given all these reasonable and credible answers... but in the alt.assassination.jfk forum, where I found this - you'll never see such answers.

Believers cannot confront real critics in a non-censored forum.

That fact tells the tale, doesn't it?
