Freedom First – Join Bobby‘s movement for a free and fair America for all

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has spent his life fighting for American democracy and the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. He has battled against corporate greed and government corruption to protect our children, our health, our livelihoods, our environment, and above all, our freedom.

With integrity, courage, and self-sacrifice, he has led Americans in an ennobling fight to restore our country as the exemplary nation, and to end the toxic polarization that divides us and enriches the elites.

His steely character and unique history fighting crooked bureaucracies make Bobby the only person who can bridge the divide and fix our country.

Let Bobby know you want to see his leadership in the White House.

The Robert Kennedy Assassination

Photographs taken by the FBI, LAPD, and AP show apparent bullet holes, which have been circled and initialed. Some pictures show police officers pointing at them; one AP photo is labeled „Bullet found near Kennedy shooting scene.“ Two police officers depicted in the photos told author Vincent Bugliosi that they had observed an actual bullet embedded in the wood of the center door frame. Hotel waiter Martin Patrusky said that police officers told him that they had dug two bullets out of the center divider. FBI agent William Bailey, in the pantry within hours of the shooting, said he could see the base of the bullet in the center divider. Other confirmation comes from photographers and even the carpenter who assisted in removal of the door frame for police evidence.

In 2004, a tape recording which featured the gunfire in the pantry surfaced. Made by Polish freelance journalist Stanislaw Pruszynski, the tape was analyzed by a team led by Philip Van Praag, who announced that the tape revealed thirteen shots fired in the space of five seconds. Sirhan‘s gun held eight bullets.

Wie John F. Kennedy erschossen wurde: Sehen Sie genau hin

(19.11.2013)

Vor 50 Jahren filmte Abraham Zapruder die Ermordung des Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Bizarrerweise haben in Deutschland die Meisten diese Aufnahmen bis heute nie gesehen. So ging es den U.S.-Amerikanern noch bis 1975, elfeinhalb Jahre nach dem Attentat.

Zapruder, heute bei Wikipedia der arme Mann mit dem Albtraum, hatte nach dem Attentat sofort erkannt, was sein Film wert war. Noch am Abend der Ermordung John F. Kennedys, am 22. November 1963, saß er in einem Interview beim TV-Sender WFAA, nahm sich einen Anwalt und ließ alle interessierten Journalisten seinen Film in einer geschlossenen Vorführung ein einziges Mal ansehen, um ihn meistbietend zu verkaufen. Sofort nach der Filmvorführung trat der Journalist Dan Rather, nach eigener Aussage noch vor allen anderen, vor die Kamera und erklärte, der Zapruder-Film habe gezeigt, wie der Kopf des Präsidenten durch einen von hinten erfolgten Schuss „violently“ (heftig) nach vorne geschleudert worden sei (die Aussage Rathers ist zwischen viel Werbung noch in Teil 5 der Doku „50 Jahre Kennedy-Attentat – Geheimnisse einer amerikanischen Dynastie“ in der VOX Mediathek zusehen).

Danach kaufte das Time Life Magazin von Abraham Zapruder alle Rechte an dessen Film und ließ diesen im Archiv verschwinden. Seit dem Mord an John F. Kennedy waren gerade einmal zwei Tage vergangen.

Bis 1969 wurde die Filmaufnahmen von der Ermordung des U.S.-Präsidenten unter Verschluss gehalten. Dann erzwang der Staatswalt Jim Garrison im Rahmen eines Gerichtsverfahrens vom Time Life Magazine die Herausgabe des Zapruder-Films und war so in der Lage, die Aufnahmen von Kennedy-Attentat wenigstens den Geschworenen zu zeigen. Der Öffentlichkeit wurden die Aufnahmen erst am 6. März 1975 zugänglich gemacht, durch Ausstrahlung im TV Sender ABC (Kino oder Fernsehsender waren damals die einzige Möglichkeit Filmaufnahmen effektiv zu verbreiten).

Hier nun der Zapruder-Film. Sehen Sie genau hin. Damit fing und fängt alles an.

A Century Ago In Sarajevo: A Plot, A Farce And A Fateful Shot

(June 27, 2014)

Also, the people in charge of the archduke‘s visit decided that it was a good idea to publish the motorcade route in advance. (…)

There were seven of them along the parade route, carrying bombs and guns. Most chickened out altogether.

Nedeljko Cabrinovic was one exception. He threw a bomb and missed, wounding an official in the motorcade behind the archduke.

Franz Ferdinand ordered the driver to stop. He got out and walked back to inspect the damage and the wounded people.

(…)

Afterward, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne got back into his motorcade with his wife, Sophie. They had decided to visit the hospital to see the people who were wounded in the bomb attack.

But no one told the driver.

At that fateful intersection, the car was supposed to go straight — but it turned right. A general in the motorcade shouted, „You‘re going the wrong way!“

And the driver stopped the car … right in front of assassin number seven.

Gavrilo Princip, who had missed his chance the first time, was standing on the sidewalk 4 feet away from the car — at the only place on the route where the car stopped.

JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass review – Oliver Stone returns to the grassy knoll

(24 Nov 2021)

But, exasperatingly, and despite speculation being the order of the day, the film never attempts to name any supposed second or third shooter, to say exactly where these gunmen would have been positioned, and how the inevitable witnesses to their activity would have been suppressed. The old question reasserts itself: can you do this with any historical event? Could you, with enough time, undermine the case against Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo in 1914?

The collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s new alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the Neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power.

(04.04.2023)

China has displaced the American Empire by deftly projecting, instead, economic power. Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world. The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the Neocon‘s short-lived “American Century.” The Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8.1 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughingstock of U.S. military power and moral authority, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as the global currency, cost millions of lives and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence.
