RFK Must Die: The Assassination of Bobby Kennedy

As opposed to JFK's assasination, RFK's is pretty straighforward and has not been so hotly debated. There were many people in the kitchen when he was shot and Sirhan Sirhan is usually identified as the gunman. End of story? Not so fast. Why were CIA agents - who were known to despise RFK - attending his victory celebration that evening? When Sirhan was hypnotized, why did he immediately start writing "RFK must die!" over and over again - just like in his diary. Was he the original Manchurian candidate and was the woman in the polka-dot dress his handler? Many questions are raised and some are answered. You will learn enough to make you want to know more.

"RFK Must Die" is a must-see for anyone - like me - who believes that most history-alterng events are not random.

This was an intriguing look into the assassination of one of our countries greatest leaders. This documentary, or "mockumentary", however you choose look at it at, went to great lengths to suggest yet another conspiracy theory regarding the infamous Kennedy's. While I may be biased because of my affection for the legacy of this family, it's hard to dispute some of the allegations.

A provocative claim is that C.I.A. agent David Morales, the JMWAVE Chief of Operations was involved. David Morales was also alleged to be involved in the assassination of president John F. Kennedy. There is actually video footage of someone who appears to be Morales at the Ambassador Hotel on the night of RKF's assassination. Ex-operatives and colleagues have confirmed that it was indeed Morales seen in the footage. David Morales was an avid, professed adversary of both John and Robert Kennedy.

Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Robert Kennedy has claimed he has no recollection of the incident. His defense team suggests experimental C.I.A. mind control. The C.I.A. and the Kennedy administration, along with Bobby who was the Attorney General, were at constant odds with each other. We have recently learned that the C.I.A. was not opposed to experimental practices (see: LSD and Project MKULTRA).

The most poignant disparity is the number of shots fired, the proximity of Sirhan to RFK and the silenced witnesses. Who was the woman in the polka dot dress? At what point do conspiracy theories and coincidence become something else? Are the assassinations of RFK, JFK, MLK and Malcolm X just happenstance? (see: The Assassinations, by James DiEugenio and Lisa Pease) In the name of objectivity, I implore people to do their own research and sift through the facts, conspiracy theories and "white noise".

Makes a convincing argument..then undermines its own thesis by the end. One is left with more ambiguity and another dead Kennedy. This raises more questions than it answers: were there CIA handlers at the hotel that night or was it just a group of watch salemen? or were the watch salesmen's creditials and profiles used by substitute killers? These questions are not answered in this video.

This reminds me of Al Gore's DVD on "global warming". I'm a sucker for video...but in the end the images on the videos (RFK lying mortally wounded and hapless polar bears out for an endless swim) are more powerful, long-lasting, and in a way, deceiving than the pure factual content found on the DVD. The viewers are left with the task of doing their own research which is probably a good idea anyway.

Through all 2 1/2 hours of this fascinating documentary, one can't help but woncer a couple of points:

* Was Sirhan Hypnotized aka "The Manchurian Candidate" to assassinate Bobby Kennedy?, the fact that he remembers very little about that night lends creedence to this.

* How was it that Bobby was heading out of the Auditorium and was re-routed to the pantry where Sirhan JUST HAPPENED to be standing with a gun ready to shoot him. The only way this scenario could have taken place is if the people that led him to the pantry knew he was gonna get shot there or people that told people to lead him there did.

Well in any event, I have waited forty years for something about Bobby's death to be published on Video/DVD and it's here..........a must for anyone that lived the expierience.

Very alarming to know that our government is so corrupt, that it will stop at nothing to assassinate those that become a threat to expose them.
John F. Kennedy, Martin L. King and Robert Kennedy were in position to disrupt the power of corruption and they were assassinated by war mongers, war profiteers and others, to keep them from exposing the corruption they were going to investigate and had fought against.
