Interesting read about CIA and the RFK assassination.

CIA may have used contractor who inspired ‘Mission: Impossible’ to kill RFK, new book alleges




Was Robert Maheu, an aide to Howard Hughes, responsible for Bobby Kennedy’s assassination?

Robert A. Maheu was such a colorful character that it’s widely believed the television show “Mission: Impossible” was based on him and his private investigative agency.
As an ex-FBI agent, the CIA asked him to handle jobs it wanted to steer clear of, such as lining up prostitutes for a foreign president or hiring the mafia to kill Fidel Castro. For more than 15 years, Maheu and his Washington-based company were on monthly retainer to “The Agency,” CIA records show. And during much of that time, Maheu was the right-hand man to Howard Hughes as Hughes bought up vast swaths of Las Vegas and helped finance CIA operations.


Now, a new book alleges that Maheu may have performed another mission for the CIA: the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.).

Sadly, we will probably never know for sure. I imagine that rabbit hole is pretty deep.

Well if RFK became president he most likely was going to open up an investigation on who killed his brother.

I think we can take this as reverse verification of the theory.

Rfk Speech on Arms to Israel Triggered Sirhan to Assassination

NEW YORK (Feb. 21)
Robert Kennedy’s promise of military aid to Israel was the trigger that led to Sirhan Sirhan’s decision to kill the Democratic presidential hopeful, who had just won the California primary election in June 1968.
Sirhan gave that explanation in an interview with television host David Frost on NBC’s “Inside Edition” Monday night.
The Jerusalem-born Palestinian, who immigrated to the United States as a child and is now 44, is serving a life sentence at the California Correctional Facility at Soledad.
He will be eligible for parole in May for the 13th time since he began his sentence in 1969.
In the interview, the first with Sirhan since he shot Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles more than 20 years ago, the Palestinian said he hadn’t planned the killing because Robert Kennedy “was my hero, my champion,” who stood up for the underdog.
Sirhan recalled hearing Kennedy at a rally n Oregon promise warplanes to Israel. It was then that the targeted the senator to die.
“To hear him say he was going to send 50 Phantom jets to Israel . . . to deliver nothing but death and destruction on my countrymen, that seemed like it was a betrayal,” Sirhan said.

I hope you don't take the official story at face value, there is zero possibility it is truthful.

Q predicted that something bad could happen to somebody someplace at some time. He was spot on!
