RFK assassination witness tells CNN: There was a second shooter
CNN ^ | April 30, 2012 | Michael Martinez, Brad Johnson

Posted on 04/30/2012 8:54:52 AM PDT by raulgomez05

As a federal court prepares to rule on a challenge to Sirhan Sirhan's conviction in the Robert F. Kennedy assassination, a long overlooked witness to the murder is telling her story: She heard two guns firing during the 1968 shooting and authorities altered her account of the crime.

Nina Rhodes-Hughes wants the world to know that, despite what history says, Sirhan was not the only gunman firing shots when Kennedy was murdered a few feet away from her at a Los Angeles hotel.

"What has to come out is that there was another shooter to my right," Rhodes-Hughes said in an exclusive interview with CNN. "The truth has got to be told. No more cover-ups."

Her voice at times becoming emotional, Rhodes-Hughes described for CNN various details of the assassination, her long frustration with the official reporting of her account and her reasons for speaking out: "I think to assist me in healing -- although you're never 100% healed from that. But more important to bring justice."

Sirhan Sirhan praised by Bill Ayers.

Barack Obama praised by Bill Ayers.

Kennedy democrats are complete fools to relate to the Kenyan and his buddies on ANYTHING.

“When the subject of the Kennedys came up in a late-night session with friends in 1973, Morales launched into a tirade that finished: “I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard.”

Was the second shooter wearing a tinfoil hat? Probably not, because if had one on then the aliens couldn’t communicate their evil wishes to him. Nina thankfully had her hat on and thank goodness for that, otherwise the ‘truth’ wouldn’t be out there.

Another awesome piece of reporting by CNN.

He’d be more believable if he claimed to have had an affair with JFK.

Lefties love these Kennedy conspiracy theories, because they can’t handle the truth that a Commie killed JFK, and a Muzzie killed RFK.

There’s a number of Kennedy stories in the press lately. There was one about one of JFK’s favorite flings who was killed not too long after he was. She had CIA connections.

Well, surprise, surprise! Sirhan Sirhan, who claims he doesn't remember anything about the shooting, had some help.

Gosh, Doc! Did yer tin-foil hat fall off or sumpin'?

No, oh naive ones. Isn't it amazing how high profile public figures who go off the reservation end up dead? Like Bobby's brother John who wanted out of Vietnam and who had signed an executive order for the U.S. Treasury to start printing dollars, effectively ending the Fed's hegemony. Or JFK's "murderer", Lee Harvey Oswald, just happened to be a sitting duck for Jack Ruby who also happened to die very quickly after shooting Oswald.

The term "conspiracy theorist" has become an epithet with which to attack those who question the status quo. Tell me that Hitler wasn't involved in a conspiracy to take over Germany. Tell me that there are not now and never have been any Marxist conspirators who seek the control of America.

If we know these things are true, then why swallow the FedGov BS on assassinations?

****and a Muzzie killed RFK.****

A quick google search shows Sirhan was a Palestinian Christian.

What are you babbling about? Sirhan Sirhan is a Christian by birth, he never converted to Islam.

Ahh, my mistake. I didn’t have the internet for fact checking back in the day, so I should have checked it now.

Can we believe the second word, “Christian?” The first word, “Palestinian,” is a made up nationality.

All true, and they both were 'enabled' by factions of the government.

Based on the accounts I have read, it is very likely there was a second gun being fired in the RFK assassination. But it was 'friendly fire'. One of the armed security attachment 'may' have pulled his weapon and fired off a shot. Maybe he even hit Kennedy.

Maybe....

She was Benjamin Bradlee’s sister-in-law.

Just google the names Cord Meyer and Mary Pinchot Meyer. Mary was a long time friend of JFK. When Jackie was out of town Mary was considered the hostess at the JFK soirees. She was married to Cord Meyer of the CIA and her sister, IIRC, was married to one of the WaPo owners. VERY connected.

Mary was murdered about a year after JFK’s death. DC was shocked when that happened because she was generally considered to have been JFK’s girlfriend. They tried to hang the murder charge on an unemployed black guy - sort of like the Chandra Levy maneuver. Supposedly when her sister went to her house there was a CIA person there and her diary supposedly disappeared.
