In reply to the discussion: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Twisted Anti-Vaxx History [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)11. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy.
That's what his son and daughter, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Rory Kennedy, reported in an interview with Charlie Rose last weekend in Dallas.
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.
RFK called the Warren Commission report "shoddy workmanship."

Those are the facts we learned Friday, Jan. 11, 2013. It's called history.
Original OP in which you commented. This one, though, really got your goat:
Mass Media ignoring 'RFK Believed in Conspiracy' shows corrupt nature of America's Press
Why does RFK mentioning his uncle, the president, was murdered by a conspiracy bother you so much, SidDithers of Du?
