VERY Curious George: George Plimpton, the Paris Review, the CIA and the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy

In a post post, we note the pro­found rela­tion­ship between the pres­ti­gious “pro­gres­sive” lit­er­ary peri­od­i­cal The Paris Review and the CIA. The edi­tor of the Paris Review was the late George Plimp­ton, who was at Robert F. Kennedy’s side on the evening of his assas­si­na­tion. We are told that he dis­armed the attacker, pre­sum­ably the patsy for the killing, Sirhan Sirhan.


Updating JFK, RFK Assassination Investigations

America’s polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tions con­tinue to loom large over our polit­i­cal land­scape. A recent New York Times obit­u­ary touched on Daniel Bur­ros, the Amer­i­can Nazi Party mem­ber whose name, address and phone num­ber were in sup­posed “left­ist” Lee Har­vey Oswald’s address book. “Fam­ily of Secrets” author Russ Baker informs us that Sirhan Sirhan’s first attor­ney Grant Cooper was under indict­ment with pos­si­ble JFK co-conspirator John Roselli when he rep­re­sented RFK’s accused assassin.


Days of Future Passed, Part 2: JFK, RFK Assassinations and the Tate/La Bianca Killings

Con­tem­po­rary jour­nal­ists and most his­to­ri­ans have over­looked links between the assas­si­na­tions of the Kennedy broth­ers (as well as links between their killings and other mur­ders). Liai­son offi­cer between the CIA and the House Select Com­mit­tee on Assas­si­na­tions, George Joan­nides had served as the Agency’s liai­son to the anti-Castro Cuban mil­i­tant groups, some of which are imli­cated in JFK’s assas­si­na­tion. Joan­nides never told the com­mit­tee about his work with the Cubans. Joan­nides was also present at the Ambas­sador Hotel in Los Ange­les when RFK was shot.


The Tex Watson Tapes: Days of Future Passed

Por­trayed by the media as a bunch of way­ward hip­pies, the Man­son group, in fact, had par­tic­i­pa­tion by neo-Nazi ele­ments, as well as links to the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity. It has been dis­closed that phone taps on con­victed Man­son Fam­ily killer Tex Wat­son have infor­ma­tion that may relate to 12 addi­tional mur­ders. One won­ders who the other vic­tims might have been?


RFK Jr: JFK Assassination Was a Conspiracy

We’ve pro­duced much pro­gram­ming and post­ing over the years on the assas­si­na­tions of JFK, RFK and Mar­tin Luther King. All of these killings are con­nected and, together, com­prise the sys­tem­atic elim­i­na­tion of viable pro­gres­sive lead­er­ship in this coun­try. Stat­ing the obvi­ous, Robert F. Kennedy’s kids RFK jr. and Rory have stated that Pres­i­dent Kennedy was not assas­si­nated by a lone nut. We’ve not seen any state­ments by Kennedy fam­ily mem­bers about the assas­si­na­tion of Robert Kennedy. That case is head­ing back into court. The inves­ti­ga­tion of Robert Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion yields evi­den­tiary trib­u­taries lead­ing in the direc­tion of his brother’s killing, Dr. King’s assas­si­na­tion and the shoot­ing of George Wallace.


J. Edgar Hoover: “Marilyn Monroe Is a Communist!”

The death of cin­ema icon Mar­i­lyn Mon­roe has gar­nered much press over the half-century since her death. Pop con­spir­acy the­o­rists and fas­cists have long tried to por­tray her death as a mur­der com­mit­ted by the Kennedy broth­ers. Respon­si­ble inves­ti­ga­tors have voiced sus­pi­cions that her death may have been a mur­der that was a pre­cur­sor to Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion a lit­tle over a year later. Fol­low­ing the par­tial dis­clo­sure of Ms. Monroe’s FBI file, we now learn that the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover were closely mon­i­tor­ing the late, unfor­tu­nate actress because of her alleged “com­mu­nist sym­pa­thies.” Along with Hoover’s pas­sion­ate hatred of the Kennedys and her close (and prob­a­ble roman­tic) links to both Kennedy broth­ers, that would have been more than enough rea­son for her to be elim­i­nated. Many observers have opined that, if her death was indeed mur­der, it may have been intended to pro­vide ammu­ni­tion to embar­rass the Kennedy fam­ily in the event that they cried “con­spir­acy” fol­low­ing JFK’s assassination.


Sending a Message? RFK Jr.‘s Wife Found Dead by Hanging

RFK Jr’s wife dead of hang­ing. An “assisted sui­cide” to send a mes­sage as RFK Sr.‘s assas­si­na­tion returns to the courtroom?


“No More Coverups!”: Another Witness Says More than One Shooter in RFK Assassination

In this Pres­i­den­tial elec­tion year, will we see any more “Gov­ern­ment by Gun­play.”? New light shed on con­spir­acy to assas­si­nate Robert F. Kennedy.


Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Moves Closer to the Courtroom!

Robert Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion under inves­ti­ga­tion once again. New court­room hear­ing will prob­a­bly reveal pres­ence of a con­spir­acy and sec­ond gun.


Sirhan Sirhan’s Lawyers Moving to Reopen the Case

Long dor­mant, inves­ti­ga­tion of Robert F. Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion headed back to the court­room. Evi­dence proves Sirhan Sirhan not the killer.
