2. He was a patsy just like Oswald

At first, it seems an open-and-shut case. On June 5 1968, Robert Kennedy wins the California Democratic primary and is set to challenge Richard Nixon for the White House. After midnight, he finishes his victory speech at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles and is shaking hands with kitchen staff in a crowded pantry when 24-year-old Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan steps down from a tray-stacker with a "sick, villainous smile" on his face and starts firing at Kennedy with an eight-shot revolver.

As Kennedy lies dying on the pantry floor, Sirhan is arrested as the lone assassin. He carries the motive in his shirt-pocket (a clipping about Kennedy's plans to sell bombers to Israel) and notebooks at his house seem to incriminate him. But the autopsy report suggests Sirhan could not have fired the shots that killed Kennedy. Witnesses place Sirhan's gun several feet in front of Kennedy, but the fatal bullet is fired from one inch behind. And more bullet-holes are found in the pantry than Sirhan's gun can hold, suggesting a second gunman is involved. Sirhan's notebooks show a bizarre series of "automatic writing" - "RFK must die RFK must be killed - Robert F Kennedy must be assassinated before 5 June 68" - and even under hypnosis, he has never been able to remember shooting Kennedy. He recalls "being led into a dark place by a girl who wanted coffee", then being choked by an angry mob. Defence psychiatrists conclude he was in a trance at the time of the shooting and leading psychiatrists suggest he may have be a hypnotically programmed assassin.

Three years ago, I started writing a screenplay about the assassination of Robert Kennedy, caught up in a strange tale of second guns and "Manchurian candidates" (as the movie termed brainwashed assassins). As I researched the case, I uncovered new video and photographic evidence suggesting that three senior CIA operatives were behind the killing. I did not buy the official ending that Sirhan acted alone, and started dipping into the nether-world of "assassination research", crossing paths with David Sanchez Morales, a fearsome Yaqui Indian.

Morales was a legendary figure in CIA covert operations. According to close associate Tom Clines, if you saw Morales walking down the street in a Latin American capital, you knew a coup was about to happen. 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." From this line grew my odyssey into the spook world of the 60s and the secrets behind the death of Bobby Kennedy.

13. Great post sce56

Three CIA guys shown in photos to be at the Ambassador when RFK was killed. At least one (David Morales) was also in Dealey Plaza, and photographed there, when JFK was killed. Morales was also an alcoholic who blurted out during benders that he'd helped murder both Kennedy's. His loose tounge is the reason he was murdered before he could testify to the HSCA.

4. What is with all these kennedy assassination threads?

[Trajan]

7. Since wednesday was the 43rd anniversary of JFK's assassination ...

Would it NOT be a proper moment to present such threads in DU ? ...

If not now: when ? ....

Now is the time when we reflect on the early death of one of our standard bearers .... Should we ignore the date and let it pass without mention ? ....

OR do you just object to so mant posters wishing to bring it up ? ...

I dont get the complaint .... its not like there arent other threads to post in ....

Why not just ignore these threads ? ...

8. Well Bobby's birthday was this week,

5. You forgot the third option: "Oh, shit. Not another assassination poll."

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. You must have forgotten about that HIDE THREAD feature

[Trajan]

6. There is a connection between the assassinations of 3 Liveral Stalwarts ...

And it would be a cabal of ANTI-liberal that would perpetrate such uniform acts ...

Oswald, Sirhan and Ray were all trigger men, but they just pulled the trigger on behalf of a larger party intent on stifling the Liberal movement ....

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. yes there has to be a connection

[billbuckhead]

11. And don't forget John Lennon and Paul Wellstone

[Buzz Clik]

15. delete

17. Sirhan may have pulled a trigger,

but Oswald and Ray most likely did not.

Was Ray even near the scene of the crime when it went down?

[bobbie]

12. You guys are so informed.

Not fooled by the lies.

[Chemical Bill]
