In reply to the discussion: CIA director withheld information about JFK assassination [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)5. Remarkable, considering how Corporate McPravda has only played the lone nut tune since Nov. 22, 1963
An odd censorship, considering the facts, that holds to the present day. For instance, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his sister Rory Kennedy, told Charlie Rose in front of a live studio audience in Dallas that their father, then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, thought his brother the president was the victim of a conspiracy, murdered by domestic political opponents.
Details on this important revelation were ignored by Mainstream Media -- and this one Charlie Rose program never aired: reported in an interview with Charlie Rose.
It's also what author and Salon founder David Talbot reported, when he called Robert F. Kennedy the "first conspiracy theorist" in 2007.
Here's why the news from Robert and Rory is so important:
The important issue is that he and his sister reported their father -- the president's principal counselor and the nation's chief law enforcement officer -- privately thought a conspiracy was behind the assassination of President Kennedy.
RFK called the Warren Commission report "shoddy workmanship."
Attorney General Kennedy knew about the Ruby-Mafia connections immediately, which is vital when considering the Mafia were hired by Allen Dulles and the CIA during Eisenhower's administration to murder Fidel Castro -- an operation which the CIA failed to inform the president and attorney general.
The interview with Charlie Rose marked the first time members of the immediate Kennedy family have voiced the attorney general's doubts about the Warren Commission and its lone gunman theory.

Those are the facts we learned Friday, Jan. 11, 2013. It's called history. The fact the nation's MOCKINGBIRD of a press corpse ignore the information is most telling.
What's more telling is what didn't get noted in the nation's corrupt mass media at all: The fact that Attorney General and later Senator Robert F. Kennedy also was assassinated. Some think that was a coincidence, because the mass media told them so. One thing's for certain, the questions still surrounding the deaths of two liberal icons doesn't get discussed at all today in our supposedly "free press."
This is not ancient history. We are living in a world created by the assassination of the President -- a Liberal, Progressive and Democratic President -- almost 52 years ago.
