RFK Jr. Insists CIA Was Involved in JFK AssassinationRobert F. Kennedy Jr., who announced his run for the presidency last month, insists the CIA was involved in the assassination of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, claiming there has been a “60-year coverup.”
Kennedy, whose own father, Robert F. “Bobby” Kennedy, was assassinated in 1968 by Sirhan Sirhan, a disgruntled Palestinian, said there is strong evidence the Central Intelligence Agency had a role in the plot that led to the 1963 assassination. “There’s millions of pages of documents, CIA documents, of transcripts, of recorded conversations from the Cuban embassy in Mexico City ... It’s hard to summarize the evidence,” he said.
He continued, citing the fact one of the leaders of the Warren Commission was ex-CIA Director Allen Dulles, whom JFK fired in November 1961. “[Dulles] insinuated himself onto the Warren Commission and essentially ran the Warren Commission and kept this evidence from the Warren Commissioners,” Kennedy explained. “Either way, when Congress, 10 years later, investigated the crime with much more evidence than the Warren Commission had at its disposal, Congress found that, yeah, it was a plot. It was a conspiracy [and] there were multiple people involved. And most of the people in that investigation believe that it was the CIA that was behind it – because the evidence was overwhelming to them.”
He then recalled being in the White House East Room with his father and mother and aunt Jacqueline, while his uncle’s body was lying in state. President Lyndon Johnson came in to inform the group that Jack Ruby had just killed Oswald. “I said to my mom at that point … why did [Ruby] kill [Oswald]? Did he love our family? – You know that is a lingering question – what was Jack Ruby doing there?” he asked.
Kennedy added that his father, the attorney general, had investigated Ruby and discovered alleged mob ties, including a mob leader he claimed was “recruited by the CIA in the [Fidel] Castro murder plot – so they were all working together in cahoots with the CIA.”
He also claimed his father called a CIA desk officer in Langley, Va., the day JFK was shot, and asked , “Did your people do this?” Bobby Kennedy also called then-CIA Director John McCone and posed the same question. “It was my father’s first instinct that the agency had killed his brother,” RFK Jr. said.
The CIA has repeatedly denied the agency was involved in any way in JFK’s assassination.
When asked to evaluate President Biden’s cognitive faculties, as the president continues to make routine gaffes, lapses and stumbles, Kennedy said he doesn’t “have enough information” to make an empirical assessment and will “leave it to other people.”
He emphasized that his reason for running is because he doesn’t like what Biden is “doing with this country” – pointing first to his handling of the Ukraine war. Kennedy is of the opinion the conflict should have been settled a long time ago, and that the $130 billion dwarfs the budgets of the EPA, CDC and many other alphabet agencies combined. He suggested at least some of this money could be better spent stateside, saying 57 percent of Americans cannot afford a sudden $1,000 hardship or expense.
Sean Hannity was quick to note that several points of Kennedy’s platform likely resonate with Republicans and conservatives – including securing the Mexican border, expressing due skepticism or inquiry about coronavirus vaccines, and circumspection concerning how the U.S. is handling the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Kennedy recounted how he has been heavily censored on social media, including Instagram, after analyzing vaccine studies on other primates. “During the Pfizer studies and Moderna studies, they never studied whether it was going to block transmission because they already knew from the animals that it would not,” he asserted. “But they went ahead and told the American people something they knew was not true: ‘If you get the vaccine, you won’t get COVID, you will not spread COVID to other people’ – and that simply was deceitful.”

The killing of Oswald by Jack Ruby is just one of many things that makes people think there was a conspiracy. It's always bothered me that Oswald said he was a patsy. If it was his idea and he acted alone, and he just wanted his 15 minutes of fame, why would he deny it?

Some people don't like RFK Jr. because he thinks vaccines cause autism, but I remember hearing him say that you never see anyone his age with autism and he's right. I'm not sure it's the vaccines themselves that cause the problem, or the fact that people give their kids Tylenol after they're vaccinated, but I'm convinced the autism is somehow connected to the vaccines.

He may be the lesser of the many evils in the Democratic party, but before anyone jumps on the bandwagon, I suggest they read “RFK Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream.” Also, before anyone says, “But Trump did so and so,” Trump may be an SOB in many respects, but he never drove any of his wives, or the other women he dated, to commit suicide, and when it comes to womanizing, he can’t hold a candle to RFK Jr. When I re-read the article you linked, I remembered that we discussed this woman's suicide in our old Yahoo group. She may have had a problem with alcohol, but I doubt it was any worse than his problem with alcohol, and he knew trying to take her children away from her would drive her over the edge. Because of who he was, she probably thought she didn't stand a chance against him in court. I think he set out to destroy her.
Trump has his faults, as we all do, but he doesn't drink or use illegal drugs, and his children are all successful. The Kennedy descendants are a bunch of alcoholics, drug addicts and womanizers.

Well...there goes that idea then. I don't know much about him.
I would vote for nearly anyone who will try to bring the country together. I don't care what party he/she is from. I believe this 2 party system as we have it now is killing the US.

He does have a sordid past, but people can change, and most do change as they get older, although marrying Cheryl Hines at the age of 60 isn't exactly what you'd expect a mature, level headed man to do. I'm Republican, but if a Democrat is elected next year, I'd rather it be RFK Jr. than any of the other Democrats who might run. Do you think the comedians would make jokes about his wife beating him, or would they ignore it along with his other faults because he's a Democrat? |
