Sirhan Sirhan’s Lawyers Moving to Reopen the Case

COMMENT: Attor­neys for Sirhan Sirhan have moved to reopen his case, con­tend­ing (among other things) that a bul­let was switched at his trial, inval­i­dat­ing his con­vic­tion.
Ear­lier this year, Sirhan’s defense team rein­forced the “girl in the polka-dot dress” anec­do­tal infor­ma­tion fol­low­ing a hyp­no­sis ses­sion with their client.
Any­one famil­iar with the [...]

18 1/2 Minute Gap in Watergate Tape to Remain Mystery

COMMENT: It turns out that the high-tech efforts by inves­ti­ga­tors to restore the mate­r­ial lost in an 18 1/2 minute gap in one of Nixon’s Water­gate tapes have failed. We will never know, for sure, what was in that sec­tion of tape.
One of the cen­tral con­sid­er­a­tions in ana­lyz­ing Water­gate is the assas­si­na­tion of Pres­i­dent Kennedy–what [...]

FTR #742 Body Count (Sweet Home Alabama)

An appar­ent turkey shoot under­way in Alabama, with peo­ple who could spill the beans on Karl Rove’s oper­a­tions there “com­mit­ting sui­cide” in record num­bers; was the wife of Obma’s liai­son to the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives mur­dered, the same week­end that Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Gabrielle Gif­fords was shot?

Sirhan Sirhan and the “Girl in the Polka-Dot Dress”

COMMENT: Any­one famil­iar with the facts of Robert F. Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion knows that the offi­cial ver­sion of Sirhan Sirhan as a “lone nut” assas­sin is unten­able. (Lis­ten­ers are invited to exam­ine AFA #9, detail­ing RFK’s mur­der, as well as FTR #582, sup­ple­ment­ing that analy­sis.)
Inves­ti­ga­tors have long believed that Sirhan was a vic­tim of mind control, [...]

Now, About Jared [Lee] Laughner . . .

COMMENT: In the wake of the shoot­ing in Ari­zona, many unan­swered (and often unasked) ques­tions sug­gest them­selves. To do jus­tice to the event will require more time and analy­sis than can be put into a Food For Thought post.
Suf­fi­cient analy­sis and dis­cus­sion will nec­es­sar­ily have to wait for a For The Record pro­gram and [...]

FTR #648 Arthur Who?

” . . . With the seg­re­ga­tion­ist icon Wal­lace out of the way, Nixon’s “South­ern Strat­egy” of sweep­ing the racist vote and the deep South in par­tic­u­lar was in a posi­tion to succeed. . . .”

The Death of Robert Kennedy: 40 Years After Assassination, Questions Persist

Were 13 shots fired? Was a secu­rity guard involved? Who wore the polka dot dress?
by Michael Tay­lor San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle
The assas­si­na­tion was over in a few sec­onds. In the pho­to­graph of that moment, Bobby Kennedy, his eyes open and glazed, lies on his back on a hotel pantry floor, his head cra­dled by a [...]
