Let it go man....If you disagree with me on the Chappaquidick thing then fine...this is a forum for debates and differing view points....so again, get over it and move on. You disagree with me...so what?
I think the mods should delete your last post and if you have nothing of value to add to this thread, then move on to something else....

many belive the fatal shot from behind came from right wing rent a cop Thane Eugene Cesar, who was a security officer there that night
Senator Kennedy ended his speech with "It's on to Chicago and let's win there!" as the ballroom crowded erupted in a thunderous ovation. He turned from the podium and headed for what was to be a mid-night press conference. His route there would take him through the kitchen pantry. The scene of glee and triumph would quickly turn into a nightmare of frenzy, horror and disbelief.
Waiting in the kitchen pantry area was a 21 year old ex-Palestinian refugee, Sirhan Sirhan, who had wandered around the Ambassador for several hours that evening. In his possession was a .22 caliber pistol. As the Senator made his way through the crowded pantry, Sirhan nudged his way past several people waiting to greet the victorious candidate to within about 6 feet of him. He shouted "Kennedy, you son-of-a-bitch" and proceeded to draw the gun and start firing. He was immediately wrestled away from his target and pulled onto a kitchen steam table by several men. This happened, according to the closest witness to the shooting and one of the men, hotel maitr d' Karl Ueker, before Sirhan had fired the weapon for the third time. The gun was an 8-shooter and Sirhan eventually emptied it before it could be dislodged from his grip.
Meanwhile, Kennedy had fallen or been pulled away from Sirhan after the first shot. He ended up on his back, several feet away from where the battle to detain Sirhan was taking place. His head began to bleed profusely immediately . Trailing him when the shooting started was Ace Security Guard Thane Eugene Cesar, one of three Ace guards who had been hired for Ambassador security that evening. Los Angeles Police Department had no presence whatsoever at the Ambassador until after Kennedy was shot. (Secret Service protection for candidates was still not a federal requirement. In fact, this shooting finally brought such a law into effect.)
Cesar fell back with Kennedy, but not before pulling his gun and according to a witness, firing back at Sirhan, hitting Kennedy in the process. LAPD never investigated this possibility. It also never investigated Cesar's background and ties to organized crime figures, as well as his supposed hate of RFK. Cesar's tie was actually yanked from his neck by Kennedy as he fell, and it lay next to the wounded candidate on the pantry floor. For some reason, RFK had grabbed the tie as he fell. Was it a defensive move or just coincidence?
most likley the CIA...they had been experiencing with mind control for years before hand with '___' and hypnosis...the project was called MK Ultra
the CIA had much larger plans though than just testing the drug on some poor saps.....they ordered 30 million doses from the Sandoz Pharmaceutic company, the ones who had invented it after WW II, but the company refused....

SIRHAN SIRHAN: A TRUE "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE"
by Lawrence Teeter
Attorney for Sirhan Sirhan
Sirhan Sirhan was wrongfully convicted of the June 5, 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy ("RFK"). Sirhan was a true "Manchurian Candidate." He was programmed through hypnosis to fire shots in the presence of Senator Kennedy without knowing what he was doing and without being able to recall or explain his actions or the programming process. Operatives connected with the CIA's MKULTRA program and Operation Artichoke could well have accomplished this remarkable instance of life imitating film. What follows is a discussion of evidence demonstrating Sirhan's status as a true "Manchurian Candidate" and a discussion of why this exonerating information did not come out at trial.

I have represented Sirhan since 1994 in ongoing state and federal habeas corpus proceedings challenging his conviction along with efforts to obtain his release on parole. Sirhan Sirhan is innocent. He did not shoot Robert F. Kennedy, and he was set up to appear to be guilty. His trial was a show trial designed to cover up the vast right-wing conspiracy which staged what amounted to the forcible installation of a Republican president in 1968. Richard Nixon's presidency became possible because of the RFK assassination. It is generally agreed that but for his assassination, Senator Robert F. Kennedy would have won the Democratic Party nomination and would have defeated Richard Nixon in the general election. Senator Kennedy had promised to end the Vietnam war if elected to the presidency. The anti-war movement had forced President Johnson to withdraw as a candidate for reelection, and Johnson's Vice-President, Hubert Humphrey, almost defeated Nixon after the assassination once he began to distance himself from Johnson's pro-war policies. Once he was elected, Nixon escalated and expanded the war into other countries.
