Here's what the Boston Globe wrote about the assassination of President Kennedy, that so few other publications and no television news covered -- the president's brother, US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, thought the assassination was the work of a right wing conspiracy:
Robert F. Kennedy saw conspiracy in JFKs assassination
By Bryan Bender and Neil Swidey GLOBE STAFF NOVEMBER 24, 2013
EXCERPT...
No one had done more than he to create enemies for the Kennedy administration the right kind of enemies, to the brothers way of thinking. In the mob, in corrupted labor, in Castros Cuba, in the rogue wing of the American intelligence system.
SNIP...
In the five years between his brothers murder and his own assassination in 1968, Bobby Kennedy voiced public support for the findings of the Warren Commission, namely that a pathetic, attention-seeking gunman had alone been responsible for the murder of President Kennedy. Privately, though, Bobby was dismissive of the commission, seeing it, in the words of his former press secretary, as a public relations tool aimed at placating a rattled populace. When the chairman of the commission, Chief Justice Earl Warren, personally wrote to the attorney general, asking for any information to suggest that a domestic or foreign conspiracy was behind his brothers assassination, Bobby scrawled a note to an aide, asking, What do I do? Then, after stalling for two months, he sent along a legalistic reply saying there was nothing in the Justice Department files to suggest a conspiracy. He made no mention of the hunches that appeared to be rattling around in his own mind.
There is no indication that Bobby ever found evidence to prove a wider conspiracy. But judging from his actions after hearing the news out of Dallas, its clear that he quickly focused his attention on three areas of suspicion: Cuba, the Mafia, and the CIA. Crucially, Bobby had become his brothers point man in managing all three of those highly fraught portfolios. And by the time the president was gunned down, Bobby understood better than anyone how all three had become hopelessly interwoven, and how much all three bore his own imprint.

Most news media are too cowardly to print stuff opposing the CIA. So, keep smearking, Dr Hobbitstein. Not only does it show where you stand, it shows what kind of person you are.

'Read my lips, no new taxes' is a direct quote by HW Bush. That doesn't mean anything.

Bullshit. Calling someone a "conspiracy theorist" is same as calling them a liar.

Not so. CIA obstructed justice, failing to reveal their ties to Oswald, when asked by Earl Warren.
