Thanks for the article. Keeping on with the faith in reason and common sense that denies the right-wing big lie is a habit of many of us who will never give up. Now we know JFK planned to pull out of Vietnam and abolish the CIA. Little by little, it will all come out. Why, 45 years later, are the documents still sealed? Who might be implicated?

Odd that Bush's 'military commissions act' pardons BushCo back to 1989... What did they do in 1989? Thus algebraic reasoning ala Holmes will out the truth. I liked and respected JFK. He was a good leader, unlike any of the GOP thugs we have had since. Unlike the GOP of the last forty years, in those days presidents did not set out to damage the US with premeditated malice.

Why indeed are the records still sealed after 45 years?  That the guilty may escape justice?

  There is abundant evidence that Sirhan was a "manchurian candidate" patsy and could not have shot RFK since he was in front, too far away to inflict point blank wounds to the back and head of RFK and was using a starter pistol given the serial number.  He remembers nothing after talking to the "girl in the poka dot dress", Sharin Kahn  (daughter of Khaiber Kahn who was set up with a bank fraud charge to blackmail him into doing this hit.)  She was the girl heard running out shouting "we shot  him" or words to that effect.  The substitute security guard form Hughes, Thane Eugene Ceasar, who brought RFK down from behind apparently fired the lethal shots.  Robt. Meheu, the CIA laison to the mob through Johnny Roselli (found dismembered in a barrel in Biscayne Bay after talking to the HSCA), was the head of Hughes at the time, which did contract work for the CIA.  Meheu had also worked with the LAPD which was apparently involved in covering up this crime. RFK had stated he would reinvestigate his brothers murder if elected President 3 days before he won California.  Hoover, RFK's enemy,  indicated this was a CIA hit and there was little he could do about it.  There is good information on the internet at CTKA, Real History Archives, Oil Empire, and Mary Ferrell.  There is not justice because out media are all CIA assets, noted by the Church committee as seen in Carl Bernsteins l978 Rolling Stone expose.

This is the first I've heard of a starter gun.  There were already more bullet holes in the Ambassador kitchen than bullets using Sirhan's gun.  If he only fired blanks then there would have been two other shooters.  The "tranced" Sirhan was likely firing live ammo.

   There is indication from witnesses and of course from all the bullet holes and injuries that there was another shooter.  'Seems strange to me given we know the assassin was right behind RFK, but the evidence and testimony goes in this direction.  The gun was taken home by Rafer Johnson inadvertently that night and his recollection (!?) of the serial # showed it to be what one might have expected, a diversionary patsy, as has often been the case in such shootings (See "Contract on America", Schiem, but don't by into the mob did it scenario.)  Sounds like your getting much info from the MSM.  They are complicit in these Establishment hits as accessories after the fact in covering them up with lies.  They are of course also CIA assets.  Check out the Nation for 4/12/65 "The Billion Dollar Mystery" for info on Khaiber Khan.

Once an assassin makes a hit the assassin is an immediate liability.  There are indeed reasons to shoot at an assassin.

  Your confused as to the use of patsys and the order of the firing at RFK.  Patsys always shoot first as shooters to draw attention away from the real assassin.  That's what happened in the pantry here with the "return fire" from security guard Cesar killing RFK.  One might then theorize that the additional shots might have been aimed at him, but not any shots from the initial patsy shooter Sirhan.  The direction of the shots also show what happened here.  To study these cases of political murder you need to go to the sites I originally recommened, or 3 good books on the subject, preferably both, but never to the complicit media wherever it may be found.
