RFK Assassination conspiracy/debunking thread

[gnome]

Soooo, we spend all kinds of time on the JFK thing...

What's up with the Robert Kennedy assassination... the last thing I saw on TV about it was in the 80s... do we know any more about it now?

Is there even a controversy around it? Maybe I'm misremembering.

I couldn't even tell you who assassinated him, why, or where. I know more about Fat Ted and Chappaquiddick than about RFK.

Talk about your low-profile siblings.

Robert Kennedy was assasinated by palestinian Sirhan Sirhan. Nixon refused to release Sirhan Sirhan so Arafat had his gunmen assasinate U.S. Ambassador Cleo A Noel and George Curtis Moore at the Saudi Embassy in Sudan.

Google it.

yes there is a controversy, centering on removal of the evidence, whether Sirhan Sirhan acted alone and all the predictable stuff.

I don't think that there is anything to it, myself, but RFK assasination theories are still out there.

Google it.

You can also google it and get a ton of other half-baked conspiracy theories with no more evidence than yours that Arafat was behind it.

Googling it is a start, but it is only a start.

I never said Arafat had Sirhan Sirhan assasinate Robert Kennedy. Sirhan Sirhan did it all by himself. Arafat wanted him released and Nixon refused. Please do not mischaracterize my posts, thanks.

Hmmmm, who should I believe, Mr. Manifesto (http://www.patshannan.bizland.com/assassinationsrobertkennedy.html) or the Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Archive Collection - University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (http://www.lib.umassd.edu/ARCHIVES/RFK/RFKGuide.html) and the Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Investigation Records at the California State Archives (http://www.ss.ca.gov/archives/level3_rfkguide1.html)

I take it the smilicon was a little too subtle for you.

I think the RFK topic is interesting because it reminds people how palestinian terrorism has effected even non-jews. Forget Sharon and the settlements, what was a palestinian doing assasinating RFK on 5 June 1968? Why did he assasinate RFK? Why did Arafat want Sirhan Sirhan released and why did US Ambassador Cleo A Noel have to die in Sudan because Nixon refused? Who was Sirhan Sirhan to Arafat? Many questions.
