According to an April 28th, 2011, Associated Press article Sirhan Bishara Sirhan claims he was having a fugue when he shot Robert F. Kennedy -- a New York Senator, former U.S. Attorney General and brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy -- in the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel the night Kennedy won the California Democratic presidential primary.
Portrait of RFK
Born on November 20, 1925, Robert was the seventh child of Joseph P. Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald. He married Ethel Skakel on June 17, 1950. Their 11th child was born after his assassination.
As US Attorney General, RFK waged a relentless battle against organized crime and the Mafia, sometimes disagreeing about strategy with J. Edgar Hoover, then Director of the FBI. Convictions against organized crime perpetrators rose 800 per cent during his term. He was unrelenting in pursuing Teamsters Union President Jimmy Hoffa, who was to defend himself in televised hearings.
After the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, RFK oversaw the CIA's anti-Castro activities and helped develop strategy to blockade Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. His initial support for covert actions in Cuba changed to a stance of non-involvement when he became aware of the CIA's giving itself almost unbridled authority in foreign covert operations.
RFK’s Assassination: Official Version Flawed
June 5, 1968, at 12:15 a.m., the presidential candidate was in the pantry of the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel when Sirhan fired a .22 revolver at him. The killer was arrested, charged with and convicted of murder. He was given the death penalty; however, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the death sentence unconstitutional before Sirhan could be executed. He’s currently incarcerated for life in California’s Pleasant Valley State Prison.
The autopsy proved RFK was shot three times, while five others were wounded in the shooting. Sirhan's gun contained eight bullets; he had no chance to reload. As many as five or six ceiling tiles were removed from the crime scene for tests. Los Angeles Police Department criminologist DeWayne Wolfer said it was incredible how many bullet holes were in the tiles, implying that the police found more bullets than could be accounted for by Sirhan's revolver.
There were reports of suspicious people in the area at the time. A couple told LAPD Sergeant Paul Schraga that a young man and woman fled the hotel, shouting they shot RFK. Schraga sent an All Points Bulletin about the suspects, He was ordered to cancel his APB and refused, so his superiors rescinded it. Witness Sandra Serrano corroborated the couple’s statement. Another witness, Lisa Urso claimed she saw a grey-suited, blond-haired man putting a gun into his holster. Another witness saw a tall, black-suited, dark-haired man fire two shots and flee from the pantry.
The girl in the Polka-dot Dress
According to court documents obtained by the Associated Press that detail extensive interviews with Sirhan filed in a federal court, a girl in a polka-dot dress manipulated him to shoot the senator by using mind control. They imply another person killed the senator, using Sirhan as a diversion.
Sirhan always maintained that he didn’t remember shooting; his visit to the hotel was unplanned. When hypnotized, Sirhan told Harvard University professor Daniel Brown, an expert in trauma memory and hypnosis, that when the girl cued him he went into a fugue, a dream-like state. He thought he was at a firing range with targets in front of him. He remembered meeting the girl and becoming fascinated with her. She led him to the hotel kitchen pantry while he was trying to figure out how to “hit on her.” The girl touched or pinched him on the shoulder immediately before he fired, then turned him so he could see people coming through the pantry door. Sirhan remembered seeing the flash of another gun.
Did Siran’s Girl in the Polka-dot Dress Exist?
It’s possible she existed and Sirhan was the victim of a mind control operation. I studied hypnosis when an obstetrician family friend was certified to deliver babies using it. People can be given post-hypnotic suggestions to forget what they did in altered states of consciousness (ASC). I’ve witnessed this many times.
Several years ago, I was doing research for a talk I was going to give about ASC. This was when I discovered MKULTRA, a CIA project involving psychic abilities and mind control by drug-induced altered state of consciousness research. The project began in April, 1953. The agency thought that LSD or a similar drug could be used to manipulate people by putting them into ASC.
The project was top secret because the agency knew MKULTRA was unethical and illegal. Many participants, including CIA agents, military personnel, private citizens, prisoners, government employees, prostitutes and psychiatric patients were given LSD without their knowledge or consent. Allegedly, the project ended in the mid 1970s when it became public. I’ve talked to two men who believed they were victims of the project. Both had memory lapses.
The evidence points to the girl in the polka-dress theory is, possibly correct. The problem is that, after so many years, it’s also possible she’s dead. Two other mysterious deaths are connected to RFK’s, President John F. Kennedy’s and Marilyn Monroe’s. JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963, a little over a year after Marilyn died and about four-and-a-half years before RFK was assassinated.
Earlier this month, there was a new question about JFK’s murder: Was there a JFK-UFO connection that led to his assassination? On November 12, 1963, he wrote letters to CIA director Richard Helms, asking for UFO files and to NASA administrator James E. Webb, in which JFK expressed his desire for cooperation with the USSR for mutual outer space undertakings. JFK researcher and author Professor Lawrence Merrick has said he believes that on the day of his assassination, JFK was going to announce that there was U.S. and space alien contact, but was killed before doing so.
Anthony Summers, in his book, Goddess: The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, wrote that there’s evidence both Kennedy brothers had affairs with Monroe, which she was going to announce. Her August 5, 1962 death was ruled a probable suicide.
Are the three deaths related? Perhaps, there might be a future answer.
