Handwritten notes by Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan shed new light on killer

[zappaman]

Last month his lawyer tried to convince a parole board that Sirhan Sirhan was a brainwashed hit man when he gunned down Sen. Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in 1968.

But handwritten notes purportedly from Sirhan, kept for 42 years by a Century City business executive, suggest that his behavior was calculated and controlled as he waited to shoot the presidential candidate in the hotel's kitchen pantry area.

1. So a Century City business executive hangs on to a document for 42 years.

And this executive, was a volunteer attorney for Sirhan, AND a former LAPD officer.

No red flags here. Not at all.

2. Because the LAPD had such an open and thorough investigation of the crime!

...when they weren't busy carting away those ceiling panels with "too many unexplained bullet holes" from the Century hotel....

9. And door jambs. Have you seen The Second Gun?

3. Read the whole article, that thing's got some interesting and weird asides.

Like the telegram to Sirhan's mother by Marguerite Oswald.

I guess it makes sense but....weird.

4. James Douglass, who wrote "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters" (one very great

book) has a trilogy planned. His second book will be on RFK's murder and his third on MLK's murder.

I'll wait for the profound truth that this man speaks. Those who killed RFK no doubt have got wind of it. Thus, this preemptive disinformation in the L.A. Times.

12. Read the Douglass book last fall and was blown away

He is the first person to put ALL of the pieces together in the JFK assassination. A brilliant and essential book for every thinking American wondering how we got to where we are today.

11. The PRLog link is for a press release of course. Witnesses did report seeing Sirhan at shooting

...ranges, though in the company of the other woman and man seen at the Ambassador shouting "We got him!," as they ran down the stairs.

Several eyewitnesses saw this pair, though the LAPD got busy coercing new testimony from each where they finally agreed that they didn't.
