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.

No I haven’t. But if he was going to be president, they would be tied up in court forever.
Haven’t heard anything to tie them to RFK specifically.
I have a Ivor Johnson circa 1935 that needs black powder ammo that has 5 or 6 cylinders. (Im on a business trip and havent looked at it for a couple of years.)
I was told it is the gun used to kill both RFK and President McKinley.
It needs a spring!
Who Killed Robert Kennedy?
A muslim
The democrat party supports muslims terrorists.
Same guy who whacked JFK from the grassy knoll! Why is it that everyone thinks that only the gods can kill a Kennedy? Joe jr blew up flying a gasoline bomb of an aircraft! Rosemary was slowly murdered by her father! Oswald killed JFK. Shirhan killed RFK! Teddys lack of a soul killed him! These are corrupt panderers of a philandering anti Semitic boot legged. They never were or will be American royalty and are not immune to nut cases.
Who cares?
Not just liberals. A lot of conservatives are also conspiracy freaks. The RFK conspiracy theories crack me up. Everybody saw Sirhan shoot RFK and he was wrestled to the ground with the gun in his hand. The conspiracy freak reaction: "RFK was not killed by Sirhan Sirhan." It's really funny.
Thanks for telling me. I wrote down the names of a couple of these movies and I am going to watch them on On Demand.
Thanks. It is sad that even after the Frank Church Committee Senate investigation there are still many people who refuse to believe anything but the official explanation. President Trump speaks about “the swamp”. The swamp was around in Kennedy’s time, before Kennedy’s time and is still around today. All of these important and elite people who are attacking President Trump like rabid dogs are part of the swamp. The swamp extends from Washington, New York, Hollywood, Chicago and thoughout the country. The swamp has taken over our government more than a hundred years ago. They want to assassinate Trump that is why they put those celebrities out there planting suggestions about killing him. The insane hatred of the President shows the fear and dread that their time is up.
During the presidential election in 1960, a few thousand voters crawled out of their graves to do so. There had been a meeting of both Joe and John Kennedy with Giancana at separate times asking for Giancana’s support through the mafia and the unions for West Virginia. Giancana was the Chicago mob boss at that time and also assisted in Illinois. A lot of this was brokered by Frank Sinatra who was a good friend of both.
The deal, if I understand it, was if John won the election, he would order RFK, who would be assigned to the AG slot, to leave Giancana alone. They didn’t, so Sam took care of both.

A respected J. Edgar Hoover biography revealed that FBI bugs uncovered the fact that Frank Sinatra had asked Sam Giancana for help with the Kennedy campaign in Illinois in the 1960 election and the organized-crime figure had provided it. Giancana had also raised money for JFK’s crucial West Virginia primary campaign at the request of Joseph Kennedy...and later felt he was “not getting his money’s worth.” Giancana later cursed John Kennedy, complaining, “We broke our balls for him and gave him the election and he gets his brother to hound us to death.”
I guess you dance, you pay he piper.

Giancana sent Johnny Roselli and another man to Hyannis report to ask Joe to remind his boys that the Chicago mob had helped them win, especially the WV primary which put Humphrey back on second place and in getting votes out in major cities like Chicago.
Joe said she would talk to them at Christmas when the family would be together. He stroked out before then and the talk probably never happened since he was very disabled.
This is the basis for the mafia motivation to kill JFK.

“Well after all, it was you and me.”
Sirhan Sirhan.
And Long wasn't a Leftist???
I'll never understand some conservatives' love for certain Leftists whom the Left, for reasons I also cannot understand, also hate.
About which, see : “In the Garden of the Beasts: Love, Terror and An American Family in Hitler's Berlin” Erik Larson— for context on FDR's first ambassadorial appointment to Germany (of a Southern liberal history professor from U. Chicago), the extensive rabid anti-semitism of the State Department (still true to this day— re: hitlery et cie and the rest of the button down boys and girls from hahhhhvahd) and the fascinating absolutely true story of his daughter (round heeled, screwing the first Gestapo chief and also a KGB assigned “lover”, the daughter became a Communist agent and eventually moved with rich Leftist jewish publisher husband to Czechoslovakia). Ignore the bs in the wikipedia about FDR being “pleased” with the ambassador- he wasn't- his buddy Ford, and Rockefellers wanted him removed. FDR's anti-semitism has been well covered up (refugees treatment, ignoring of hitler’s obvious psychoses, etc.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Garden_of_Beasts
The key ingredient for understanding the Leftist’s hate, in Huey's case was the Depression- and the Left’s desire for absolute power and control to stay in power- which FDR perpetuated (using mostly Herbert Hoover's equally oppressive centralized failure ideas) and, to maintain power- decided to get us into WWII to fight bigger European competitor National Socialists (with new “communist” Stalinist allies) who were just a little further right of the large communist party in Germany (and were not true fascists). An opinion shared by many (have to confess mostly Southern) historians. Perhaps that would help.
And, look up Judah Benjamin- US Senator from LA, Atty. General & Sec. of State & Sec. of War of the CSA and brilliant eventual English barrister and Queen's Counsel in Lancashire . A highly respected New Orleanian/born in Danish Virgin Islands. The wikipedia entry on him is fascinating- he was a polymath and brilliant man.
In looking up the correct wikipedia for Judah Benjamin- in the search (first in line, in fact) was an article from The Forward (forward.com). In the writer’s opinion- Benjamin has no statues because he alienated himself from jewish and non-jewish Southerners. Strange- because in history circles in the South, he is held in high regard (perhaps not at the 1900 turn of the century when monuments were being put up of mostly military leaders of the CSA).
Shelby Foote (noted Civil War historian)- describes the minority of anti-semites in leadership of CSA in his books on the War. Post war 1900s there were many more in the North- klan in S.Boston, Indiana especially.
in the wiki for The Forward (now forward.com) there is this poster for FDR (politics- they had to know he was a fraud):
