COMMENT: Stating the obvious, Robert F. Kennedy’s kids RFK jr. and Rory have stated that believe that President Kennedy was not assassinated by a lone nut.
We’ve produced much programming and posting over the years on the assassinations of JFK [1], RFK [2] and Martin Luther King [3]. All of these killings are connected and, together, comprise the systematic elimination of viable progressive leadership in this country.
(The Freikorps in Germany [4] and the Patriotic Societies in Japan [5] paved the way for the rise of fascism in those countries through a similar program of organized killing.)
We’ve not seen any statements by Kennedy family members about the assassination of Robert Kennedy [6]. That case is heading back into court [7]. The investigation of Robert Kennedy’s assassination [8] yields evidentiary tributaries leading in the direction of his brother’s killing, Dr. King’s assassination and the shooting of George Wallace [9]. (Had Wallace run as an independent candidate he might have threatened Nixon’s “Southern Strategy.”)
EXCERPT: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is convinced that a lone gunman wasn’t solely responsible for the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and said his father believed the Warren Commission report was a “shoddy piece of craftsmanship.”
Kennedy and his sister, Rory, spoke about their family Friday night while being interviewed in front of an audience by Charlie Rose at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas. The event comes as a year of observances begins for the 50th anniversary of the president’s death.
Their uncle was killed on Nov. 22, 1963, while riding in a motorcade through Dallas. Five years later, their father was assassinated in a Los Angeles hotel while celebrating his win in the California Democratic presidential primary.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said his father spent a year trying to come to grips with his brother’s death, reading the work of Greek philosophers, Catholic scholars, Henry David Thoreau, poets and others “trying to figure out kind of the existential implications of why a just God would allow injustice to happen of the magnitude he was seeing.”
He said his father thought the Warren Commission, which concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president, was a “shoddy piece of craftsmanship.” He said that he, too, questioned the report.
“The evidence at this point I think is very, very convincing that it was not a lone gunman,” he said, but he didn’t say what he believed may have happened. . . .
