New evidence revealed in a BBC report puts three known anti-Castro CIA operatives at the scene of the assasination...

YouTube video

CIA role claim in Kennedy killing

New video and photographic evidence that puts three senior CIA operatives at the scene of Robert Kennedy's assassination has been brought to light.

It reveals that the operatives and four unidentified associates were at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles in the moments before and after the shooting on 5 June, 1968. The CIA had no domestic jurisdiction and some of the officers were based in South-East Asia at the time, with no reason to be in Los Angeles....

2. Lets do an overview
Three CIA agents who were involved in the anti-Castro operations during the Kennedy administration are on video and photographs from that night at the Ambassador Hotel. One of whom professed utter hatred of the Kennedys and who was supposed to be stationed in Laos that year. And also conveniently died before he could be called to testify before the committee investigating the assassinations. Hmmmm........... :tinfoilhat:

3. The mess then the mess now
The CIA stupidly incorporated thugs and foreign reactionaries into the network of ops. Dirty business, crime and groups with passionate foreign hates and interests were left too much on their own by the equally disastrous permissive compartmentalization. You couldn't even trust the old boys network not to turn and take profits. How could one stop one's employees in such a sick system from doing rotten things beyond the intent(maybe) of the organizational plan? And the secrecy when it is most obvious that open source information is healthier for the achievement of real goals and democratic principles.

Into that mess comes the EVENT, the public perception of the eruption of theses active volcanoes they were never allowed to notice. Entrepreneurs of truth(Lord knows the fact finding CIA can't manage such objective realties) try to ferret out names and plots and evidence like archaeologists sifting shifting sands. But the nation is into the game of old boys networks and compartmentalization too, the same corrupting lunacies that turn us all into criminal fools blinded by our own blinding tools.

We need to go back to the beginning and open the windows. Screw the fear. Screw the "national security" issues that mean the security of a temple built on a foundation of mud and blood. Not for compartmentalized historians to guess their way through the FOIA game but for everyone. real national security means not getting killed by enemies. The "security" of an incompetent and counter productive blowback system immediately compromises basic national security- the real kind.

It's not about theories but releasing info and investigating. It is about law and truth withheld. What we are seeking is not confirmation of any fanatic theory but confirmation of America as a free, democratic institution for the purpose of serving individual rights and the human community. From the lonely abused grunt or agent in the killing fields, the dead citizen at home to the assassinated officials and gutted institutions- all deserve first the truth and then a true America.

11. For those who are not familiar with the Gracchi Brothers
(like myself, until recently)

Gracchi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracchi

The Gracchi were a plebeian family of ancient Rome.

The most notable members were:

* The elder Tiberius Gracchus Major or Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, who was consul in 177 BC and married Cornelia Africana, the daughter of Scipio Africanus Major, who was the archetype of the ideal Roman matron
* His son, the younger Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, tribune in 133 BC
* The younger son of the consul, Gaius Sempronius Gracchus, also tribune in 123 and 122 BC

The Gracchi brothers, Tiberius and Gaius, went down in history as martyrs to the cause of social reform. Tiberius was killed by members of the Senate for attempting to make the system more friendly to the lower classes of Rome. They tried to limit the size of the large farms that the patricians (upper class) owned to keep the plebeians (lower class) able to compete with their smaller farms. Gaius and many of his followers were killed in 121 BC owing to the Senate being made up of patricians who owned large farms.

The Gracchi were connected through marriage to the Scipiones, Cornelii, Claudii, and Aemilii.

Fictional Gracchi also appear in many epic films, such as Spartacus (1960) and Gladiator (2000).

9. Reading a book now about RFK's murder (ex-CIA agents led LAPD investigation)
Interesting details..like how the LAPD setup a a "SUS" ---"Special Unit Senator" that had 2 former LAPD officers-turned-CIA-agent guys in charge of the "investigation". How so much of the evidence was squashed by them during the investigation. Including the intimidation of several different witnesses who consistantly reported seeing a "girl in a polka dotted dress" hanging w/ Sirhan before RFK was shot and then more witnesses who saw her and another guy running from the hotel right after as the girl kept exclaiming "We shot Kennedy!"

How more than 10 bullets were at the scene BUT Sirhan's gun held only 8 bullets--where DID those extra bullets come from since he didn't reload his gun? LAPD destroyed the areas of the pantry where the crime took place. The extra bullets were reportedly IN those destroyed pantry panels/walls/doors.
