Gaslighting 101
One document I saw related to a conversation between Dan Rather and Producer Les Midgley of CBS and then CIA Director William Colby 50 years ago.
MLK, RFK, JFK assassinations on the table along with the attempt to kill George Wallace in 1972.
Colby sensitive to any linking of the CIA to any of that.
Slightly related, Crooks had a gun. Maxwell Yearick got his head blown apart on the rooftop. Were they working together?
Here is that doc..https://www.archives.gov/files/research/rfk/releases/2025/0612/00302683_memo_of_conversation_dan_104-10189-10194.pdf
Correct. Palestinian Christian.
His family moved to California when he was twelve. Immigrants learned English in the 1950s.
thanx for the color, jjotto
(But Sirhan had the gun in his hand and was shooting it.)
Kennedy was shot 4 times (3 bullets hit him and one went through his jacket) and 5 other victims were struck by bullets for a total of 9 confirmed shots. Sirhan’s gun only held 8 bullets. Other evidence that at least 13 shots were fired was found by the FBI and LAPD in door frames and ceiling panels. An audiotape later analyzed by an expert sound engineer confirmed at least 13 shots with 5 coming from the opposite direction of Sirhan’s. Further, multiple witnesses confirmed hearing at least 12 shots but their statements were ignored by police.
RFK’s Wounds:
RFK was shot at close range from behind 4 times. Three hit him. One passed through his jacket.
Two entered from behind and close together, entering under his right arm from back to front and at a steep upward angle. One entering behind his right ear and entering his brain. This was the fatal shot. Sirhan Sirhan was in front of Kennedy by 8 feet and never hit Kennedy.
(One of the handwritten notes includes the lines “Kennedy must fall” and “tonight, tonight.”)
Either planted notes or Sirhan under MK-ULTRA hypnosis if he wrote it.
100% it was CIA. They use every tool, every MSM produced psyop and every available MKultra mental patient. The term ‘Conspiracy Theory’ was invented by them and immediately deployed by the New York Times to disparage any meaningful discussion questioning their ‘narratives’ around the JFK assassination.
This ‘Deep State’ are the actual offspring and spiritual descendants of the Nazis brought over after WW2 with “Operation Paperclip” and others.
At the time, I considered RFK to be a radical leftist. I was dismayed when President Johnson announced on March 31 that he would not be running for re-election because I thought he was handing the Democrat Party over to the radicals. That afternoon, I declared myself a Republican, but I didn't think the Republicans would win the presidency because they had been trounced in the two previous presidential elections.
After LBJ dropped out, I was hoping that Indiana governor Roger Branigin's favorite son campaign for the White House would catch fire, but RFK beat him in the Indiana primary. So from then on, I supported Nixon.
Lowenstein made a one-hour appearance on the PBS television show Firing Line in 1975, where he was interviewed by William F. Buckley Jr., in which he stated that he did not believe that Sirhan Sirhan alone had shot Kennedy.
Lowenstein wrote a lengthy essay in the February 19, 1977 issue of The Saturday Review, entitled “The Murder of Robert Kennedy: Suppressed Evidence of More than one Assassin”.
Lowenstein was murdered on March 14, 1980.
Wikipedia has a lot of info on alternative theories:
The location of Kennedy's wounds suggested that his assailant had stood behind him, while some witnesses assert that Sirhan faced west as Kennedy moved through the pantry.[117] This has led to the suggestion that a second gunman fired the fatal shot, a possibility supported by Thomas Noguchi, the Chief Medical Examiner and Coroner for the County of Los Angeles, who stated that the fatal shot was behind Kennedy's right ear and had been fired at a distance of approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) to 3 inches (7.6 centimeters).[118] Other witnesses said that Kennedy was turning to his left shaking hands as Sirhan approached, from the east.[119]
In 1975, during a re-examination of the case, experts looked into the possibility of a second gunman, and concluded that there was little or no evidence to support this hypothesis.[120] In 2004, CNN's senior writer Brad Johnson discovered a recording of Kennedy's victory speech, recorded by the Polish journalist Stanisław Pruszyński [pl]. Johnson gave the tapes to the audio engineer Philip Van Praag, who analyzed and found 13 shots fired even though Sirhan's gun held only eight rounds.[121][117] He also stated the recording revealed at least two cases where the timing between shots was shorter than physically possible from Sirhan's gun alone.[117] Forensic audio specialists Wes Dooley and Paul Pegas of Audio Engineering Associates in Pasadena examined the findings and corroborated the presence of at least 10 shots on the tape along with an over-lapping shot.[122] Other acoustic experts have claimed that they could find no more than eight shots recorded on the audiotape.[123] Critics claim that Van Praag misidentified the noise impulses of the recording as gun shots.
In 2008, eyewitness John Pilger asserted his belief that there must have been a second gunman.[124]
In a 2023 episode of Club Random, Kennedy Jr. asserted that Sirhan was not the shooter who killed his father. Kennedy Jr. named Eugene Thane Cesar[b][125][better source needed]—a security guard at the time—as the man who fired four shots from behind, one of which killed Kennedy: "Sirhan was a distractor, and the real shooter was behind my father".[126][better source needed] Kennedy Jr. further cited the Noguchi autopsy which noted that his father suffered four contact wounds from the discharge of a gun and that all four shots came from behind him. Kennedy Jr. described his father's departure from the stage towards the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel, which was a route that had not previously been cleared. According to Kennedy Jr., Cesar was holding his father's arm as they walked towards the kitchen.[127][better source needed]
