Was Robert Kennedy killed by a real 'Manchurian candidate'-style assassin?
A new book claims to reveal evidence that the CIA, FBI and Aristotle Onassis hypnotised a Palestinian man into assassinating Robert Kennedy. John Hiscock reports
18 January 2005


It happened nearly 38 years ago, but doubts and suspicions have lingered on. Now the circumstances surrounding the assassination of Robert Kennedy are being resurrected and re-examined in an attempt to establish the truth of what happened that night in the cramped pantry of a Los Angeles hotel.

New evidence has emerged and pressure is mounting on authorities to reopen the case of Sirhan Sirhan, who was convicted of the assassination and who remains in the California state prison in Corcoran.

Celebrities and journalists are joining the campaign for a federal investigation, which has been sparked in part by a new book, Nemesis, by the British author Peter Evans. Evans, who spent 10 years researching the book, has unearthed evidence to support Sirhan's contention that he was hypnotised into being the "fall guy" for the murder. Evans identifies the hypnotist, who had worked on CIA mind control programmes and who was later found dead in mysterious circumstances.

In another move to reopen the case, a lawsuit has been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court to stop the pantry at the Ambassador Hotel being destroyed with the rest of the hotel because, it is claimed, bullet holes in the walls and ceiling demonstrate conclusively that more than one gunman fired shots at Senator Kennedy.

1. MKULTRA rears its ugly head once again....

"Teeter does not know for certain who hypnotised Sirhan, but, he said: "I know it was done. It was consistent with the US government's programme developed by the CIA and Military Intelligence to enable handlers to get people to commit crimes with no knowledge of what they are doing."

Evans goes further and names the hypnotist as a Dr William Joseph Bryan Jnr. He had worked on a CIA mind-control programme called MKULTRA and claimed to have moonlighted as a technical adviser on The Manchurian Candidate. The hypnosis, says Evans, had been done over three months, a period known as the "white fog" when the Los Angeles police task force later investigating the assassination - and trying to construct a meticulous timetable of Sirhan's activities up to the shooting - lost track of him."

GIVEN that the whole business of JFK's assassination, Marilyn Monroe's alleged suicide and the Martha's Vineyard tragedy of MaryJo Kopechne are all locked up in Jackie Kennedy's personal diaries/documents which she insisted must be gagged for 50 years after her death....the untimely death of JFK Jr in that light aircraft of his back in '99 would also seem open to re-assessment.

2. I would say the short answer is "yes"

When the other side killed King and Kennedy in '68, the field was left wide open for America to become the denuded, death-leaving culture it currently is...

3. Very interesting

Something has always seemed wrong to me about these Kennedy assinations. I watch these developments with interest. The MKULTRA angle is new to me and very curious.

Thanks for posting, emad.
