Just over fifty-five years ago, on June 5, 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, shortly after triumphing in the California and South Dakota Presidential primaries.
...
“Sirhan confessed to the murder,” denoted Kennedy. “He pled guilty. His story is that he has no memory of it, and he stuck with that story for 60 years. But there was a man standing, one of my father’s best friends, standing beside him when my father was shot. And his name is Paul Schrade.”
“And the first shot that Sirhan fired hit Paul in the head,” Kennedy detailed. “Paul survived, and he just died less than a year ago. And he spent the last 20 years of his life trying to get Sirhan out of jail because he did not believe that Sirhan killed my father.”
Kennedy shared that Allard Lowenstein, a former US Congressman (D-NY) and “great friend” of Robert F. Kennedy, also believed the same thing — that Sirhan Sirhan did not kill the Presidential hopeful in 1968. “He fought for many years to get Sirhan out [of prison] and get the case reopened because he did not believe that my father was killed by Sirhan.”
Kennedy previously believed that the 77 eyewitnesses at the Ambassador Hotel shooting must have seen things right — that Sirhan Sirhan killed his father.
“Paul Schrade made me come over to his house one day and read the autopsy report,” recalled Kennedy. “How did he make me? He told me, you have to do this. And because he was such a close friend of my father’s and because he himself had been shot, I felt like I couldn’t say no to him. When I sat down and read the autopsy report, it became clear to me, as it would to anybody who read that report, that Sirhan could not have killed my father, which is what Thomas Noguchi, the coroner, the most important coroner probably in American history also concluded and said in his autobiography.”
***OJ did not take the rap. He was acquitted; not guilty.***
I remember seeing photos of that jury. No way you could get a “Guilty” verdict even if he had stabbed her in the courtroom, as it was their way to get back at “Whitey”.
Who can you trust? It’s really just Jesus.
No, everything we have been told since at least 1960 has been a lie. Our government hasn't told the truth my entire adult lifetime (I'm 60.)
Yeshua is the only one we can trust. Period. Everyone else is a liar until proven otherwise.
The “vendetta” is the struggle to clear the communists in Russia and their American allies running the Democrat Party of the murder of JFK.
My mother was a teenager in Chicago when President Kennedy was killed. Her father was a first generation American Sicilian. He owned a meat packing facility.
All of his friends from the growing up, that he played gin rummy with every week, were very connected. A man at his funeral when I was in college was at the top of the food chain in Chicago.
Anyway, my Mom’s story was that the morning after JFK was killed, she came down to breakfast and she was still crying and in shock. She said something like “I can’t believe they killed him.” Supposedly my grandpa put down his fork and knife, looked at her and asked “who is they?” She said the Cubans.
He laughed at her and said “Carol Anne, the boys killed him. They all were talking about it before it happened.” She says he picked up his fork and knife and never said another word about it.
Anecdotal? Yes. Third hand? Yes but close in the family. If you look at how the mafia won the election for Kennedy, then he turned on them with the full power of the govt, it makes a lot of sense.
Even when the facts are right, they lie about their motives.
That is Truth.
If I survived getting shot in the head, I would not be spending the last 20 years of my life trying to get the shooter out of jail. But that’s just me.
I remember the shooting pretty well. ABC News (the only network available in Santa Barbara at the time) was just getting ready to leave the election coverage when the shots occurred off camera. When cameras got into the kitchen, someone was shouting, “Break his thumb Rosey! Break his thumb!” Rosey Greer, a football player, had his huge had around Sirhan’s hand that was holding the revolver.
That said, I guess there could have been a second shooter, but Sirhan Sirhan definitely was a shooter and was captured with a gun in his hand.
Listened to an interview with JFK’s mistress of 27 years on a Lubbock radio station (AM790) many years ago.
The day before RFK was assassinated, she was in a Dallas suite with LBJ when several men in suits came in. They went into another room with LBJ for a short while.
When the men left, LBJ told her that “after tomorrow that Kennedy will no longer be a problem.”
She said LBJ had many men killed, but he was a good man. It was just business to him. A truly evil man.
Lady Bird knew about her but said LBJ loved her (Lady Bird) more, or so Lady Bird said in her own interview.
“Good. Now maybe RFK Jr. can help OJ find Nicole’s real killer.”
I wouldn’t dismiss him so casually. I saw the interview and his reasoning and logic are pretty sound.
It’s like when I thought Ross Perot was nuts when he said the CIA was tapping his phone. In retrospect, his opponent had been chairman of the CIA and having seen what this nations ruling class is willing to do to protect its power and money, it would not surprise me in the least if Perot was 100% right.
How about a spoiler? Who did RFK identify as the “real shooter”?
Thank you, Dr. S.
Agreed
This should be our testimony being our
Eyewitness accounts and irrefutable documentation being Holy Scripture.
I ‘taste’ alot of data throughout the day
But rarely ‘drink’ after screening
Thru the Bible.
He’s a New England democrat after all..what else can we expect?
Even if this story is true, Sirhan was still a conspirator. He just didn’t get the job done.
I guess Reconstruction didn’t work out to well.
If you read the article at the link it tells you. It also explains why Sirhan Sirhan couldn’t possibly have killed RFK. This article is merely excerpts from the linked article. There are pictures at the link also.
I remember seeing photos of that jury. No way you could get a “Guilty” verdict even if he had stabbed her in the courtroom, as it was their way to get back at “Whitey”.
It was “The Producers” of justice. The worst jury, the worst judge, the worst prosecutors, and the worst police they could find.
I watched the entire trial. He was rightfully found not guilty. The prosecution didn’t even come close to proving its case. It was pathetic. Which doesn’t mean he didn’t kill Nicole.
You’re missing a lot of good info by not going to the site with the article. I would have posted the entire article but there’s lots of links and pictures. Here’s what I thik is the relevant portion you’re asking about:
“The real shooter was behind my father,” claimed Kennedy.
“That man is Thane Eugene Cesar.” Cesar “was a security guard who worked for Lockheed [Martin]. He was a CIA operative. He was a vocal, vocal racist who hated the Kennedys. And he had been the one who led my father through the kitchen toward the ambush.”
“He was holding my father’s arm. He drew his gun. And my father was shot four times from behind. One of the shots passed harmlessly through the shoulder pad of his coat. The other two were into his back and then one behind his ear, which was the fatal shot. And all of the shots had an uphill trajectory. And all of them, and this is what the autopsy found, were contact shots,” reported Kennedy. “So, the barrel of the gun was touching my father’s body or his clothing. And the discharge left carbon tattoos … on his flesh.”
