RFK was assassinated in the small hours of June 5, 1968 while campaigning at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles. Over a dozen witnesses saw MKUltra subject Sirhan Sirhan shoot wildly in the direction of RFK, and he was convicted as a "lone nut". However, ballistics and acoustic evidence suggests that he was not the only shooter. Kennedy's actual assassin is believed to have been Thane Eugene Cesar, who was dressed as a security guard.
Contents
Official Narrative
Sirhan Sirhan was a lone nut killer of Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy, brother of assassinated President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968. A long article by Joël van der Reijden fromo 2019 is entitled No Evidence of a Conspiracy — Except for the Mountains of Disinformation; What is the Media up to?[1]
Re-examination
The Los Angeles Superior Court carried out a re-examination of the case in 1975,[Why?] and confirmed the original "lone nut" conclusion.[2]
Evidence
Various thread combine to cast doubt on the "lone nut" claim. In 2018 Lisa Pease published A Lie Too Big to Fail: The Real History of the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy which suggested that Robert Maheu, a CIA agent, arranging for a team involving Thane Eugene Cesar to assassinate RFK and MKUltra victim Sirhan Sirhan as a patsy. The Washington Post published a "nuanced article"[3] of this theory.[4]
'Miss Polka-Dot'
Multiple eyewitness, including Sandra Sirano alleged that they had seen a woman in a conspicuous white dress with black polka-dots, who shouted “We’ve shot him, we’ve shot him” as she fled the scene.[5] "Twenty-five eyewitnesses at the Ambassador Hotel had mentioned her in their statements — and 13 of them had reported seeing her with a man matching Sirhan’s description."[6] While under hypnosis, Sirhan had recalled meeting her just before the shooting.
Wound locations
The location of Kennedy's wounds suggested that his assailant had stood behind him, but some witnesses said that Sirhan faced west as Kennedy moved through the pantry facing east.[7] This has led to the suggestion that a second gunman actually fired the fatal shot, a possibility supported by coroner Thomas Noguchi who stated that the fatal shot was behind Kennedy's right ear and had been fired at a distance of approximately one inch. Other witnesses, though, said that as Sirhan approached, Kennedy was turning to his left shaking hands, facing north and so exposing his right side.[2]
William W. Harper reviewed the ballistic evidence and concluded that RFK "was fired upon from two distinct firing positions", one of which corresponded to that of Sirhan Sirhan, the other of which corresponded to that of the security guard behind him, Thane Eugene Cesar.
13 shots fired
In 2007, analysis of an audio tape recording of the shooting made by freelance reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski indicated, according to forensic expert Philip Van Praag, that thirteen shots were fired, even though Sirhan's gun held only eight rounds.[7][8] Van Praag states that the recording also reveals at least two cases where the timing between shots was shorter than physically possible. The presence of more than eight shots on the tape was corroborated by forensic audio specialists Wes Dooley and Paul Pegas of Audio Engineering Associates in Pasadena, California, forensic audio and ballistics expert Eddy B. Brixen in Copenhagen, Denmark,[9][10] and audio specialist Phil Spencer Whitehead of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.[11]
Cover-up
The LAPD reportedly rigged evidence to convict Sirhan Sirhan.[12]
Exposure
In 2008, eyewitness John Pilger asserted his belief that there must have been a second gunman.[13]
On February 22, 2012, Sirhan's lawyers, William Pepper and Laurie Dusek, filed a court brief in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles claiming that a second gunman fired the shots that killed Kennedy. It was the fourth and final in a series of federal briefs filed under the writ of habeas corpus by Pepper and Dusek beginning in October 2010. A ruling is now pending in the Sirhan federal case.[14]

| 1960s | “After five decades, the mysteries behind the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X may finally get the scrutiny they deserve. A group consisting of relatives of the Kennedy and King families, as well as their confidantes and other prominent voices, is calling for a Truth and Reconciliation Committee to get to the bottom of these tragic murders.” | 19 January 2019 | |
| Chappaquiddick incident | “After the CIA had assassinated John F. Kennedy and framed Oswald for the assassination and after the CIA had assassinated Robert Kennedy and framed Sirhan Sirhan for the assassination, they needed a way of stopping the last Kennedy brother from ever running for the presidency of the United States. They believed that if they killed him it would look like the CIA had assassinated all the brothers so the CIA decided to allow him to live and to discredit him to stop him from being reelected by framing him at Chappaquiddick for the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.” | Charles August Schlund | 10 July 2001 |
