I have never believed in conspiracy theories. Though some critics have lumped me in with conspiracy theorists excogitating on Clinton aide Vince Fosters death in Fort Marcy Park and other such phantasmagorias, I plead innocence. It is just too difficult to keep a conspiracy under wraps. Particularly in Washington and New York, where garrulity is the rule. A conspirator sitting on a big story is likely to tell someone for money or for prestige or for the sheer fun of it. If I recall correctly, even Woodward and Bernstein eventually told their secret about Deep Throat, and that was a rather simple secret. Imagine the pressure on survivors in the know to spill the beans on the plot to kill JFK or the real identity of the Rev. Martin Luther Kings assassin or, come to think of it, Donald Trumps collusion with the Russians or Stormy Daniels or Martians. Breaking silence on these matters could assure the leaker fame unto eternity or at least a fat book contract.
No, I do not believe secrets about sensational events can be kept for very long. However, in light of the discovery of new evidence or new insights, I think a new investigation can be warranted. Now Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stepped forward with an abundance of evidence that Sirhan B. Sirhan, who was convicted in 1969 of assassinating Roberts father, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Sr., is innocent. At least Kennedy thinks Sirhan is innocent of killing his dad. That terrible June night in 1968 Sirhan did fire his 22 caliber pistol repeatedly in Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel, and he injured several people. However, the younger Kennedy believes someone else shot his dad. I think he makes a compelling case at least for reopening the investigation.

“Behind every great crime, is the FBI.”
If it was the FBI in this case, MORE POWER TO THEM - that guy had NO BUSINESS being president.
It was a damn close call.
Some of my favorite conspiracy theories involve TWA 800, JFK, and Sandy Hook.
Especially Sandy Hook. The wildest most bizarre nut-job off the wall conspiracy theories out there? No more stranger or weirder than the many different, conflicting and contradictory official government versions that we were told by the State and the MSM to believe.
And how many hundreds of people witnessed a surface to air missile on July 17, 1996?
Sorry, but our government tells us, their eyes are lying.
Teddy - he couldn’t wait his turn.
Then he let the little man screw it up.
That was actually what I was thinking & a pretty obvious possibility. Someone returns fire at the shooter & instead shoots the intended victim.
With bullet holes coming from the back & more bullets than the perp’s gun could hold, it would be nice if they would JUST BE HONEST. That way conspiracy theories don’t take hold.
Without question the Palestinian radical and loon, Sirhan Sirhan.
The first killing shot came from Sirhan’s 22 cal (short) pistol directed less than a foot from RFK’s mastoid process (the little bump just below and behind the earlobe, both sides of the head, this one on his right side, from behind). There is no question about this round which was recovered from inside RFK’s cranium, and did not exit the cranium. A slow moving (relatively) round, the round of choice of professional hitmen and coached lunatics from the Palestinian movement as well.
US and Sicilian mafia improvements: take the round off the casing, remove some of the powder, to further slow the fps out the barrel and also reduce the sound of the pistol firing, requiring the killer to get in close, and so the round will rattle around the brain case destroying the brain. One shot one kill.
Sirhan did keep firing several times— there was only one round left in his pistol till it was removed from his hand.
The recent “questioning” of a 50 year old murder, has been brought up with wife cheater, beater and probable suicide causing.. RFK, Jr. (late CEO of the venezuelan oil company CITGO, with a 600k a year job managing the giveaway tax break given to CITGO by the State of MA for “free” fuel oil given to the “poor” of MA— from the non-profit front company RFK, Jr created and ran— for political expediency). RFK, Jr. is certifiably a loonatic, period.
Sam Giancana. He also got JFK.

Bill Clinton looked into both murders after becoming President. He knows and is the basis for lots of blackmail.
Like debating whether Huey “Kingfish” Long was killed by Dr. Weiss’ .32 automatic or by his bodyguards’ frantic return fire which turned Weiss into a human collander and struck Long as well.
They’re still dead either way.
One 22, shot into a closed fist, could produce eight holes.
Huey Long died after being shot by a doctor, who was shot dead by Long's bodyguards. I read that it's possible that the bullets which actually killed Long may have come from the bodyguards' guns--ricocheting off the walls in a confined space. Of course Sirhan wasn't shot dead on the spot.
You might want to re-examine that post.
The mafia conspiracy on RFK would be the same as for JFK. He was relentless going after them and the teamsters. He had been out of power since they killed JFK. Now he looked like the lead for president. Something they couldn’t survive. Also, they were in bed with the teamster retirement fund.
We are looking for 13.
and from the back......
many inbound as a driver would say.
"He wrote 'gub.'"
I’d have to see the sketch; however, an ME will be counting entrances and exits. Most reporters wouldn’t see the distinctionespecially if they can sell more newspapers.
JFK was killed by an America-hating commununist.
RFK was killed by an Israel-hating Palestinian immigrant.
Today’s liberals should take note and reexamine their world view. Maybe they’re *GASP* wrong?
