112. LHO Was A Patsy

Nov 2014

He said so himself before he was snuffed inside the Dallas Police Station. Lone nuts don't deny being lone nuts. The two ladies who fired at Ford were lone nuts. The guy who shot Reagan was a lone nut. Because they didn't deny doing it and also how successful were they?

There is a lot about the JFK murder that shows it was a conspiracy. Like the Umbrella Man and his buddy. Like everyone lining the street pointing toward and running to the grassy knoll. Like potential witnesses being snuffed and/or ignored.

Never bought the official story about MLK either. Did believe it about RFK for awhile. Then things I learned bothered me. One of them is this.....the route by which RFK left after his speech was changed at the very last instant by someone above reproach. How did Sirhan and any potential helpers know Bobby would go this way? They couldn't have. So...were their teams ready to go for more than one route off that stage?
