The agreed on a compromise that may yet fold through all of these difficulties a sign of something major going wrong in german politics the birthing pangs of the countrys fourth from the coalition of. The protocol it is hard to dismantle this the world as we know it and those who try to get their way will be destroyed by it but those who want to come on board like a friendly regulator thats ok i am a bit wary though you know its the classic Good Cop Bad Cop scenario you know that when regular anyone comes with a gift you have to be a little leery. In twenty forty you know bloody revolution to keep the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be for. The final. Resolution is always spontaneous. Is it youre still with. Me in the new bill is that. The former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. Those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these enough to ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. If north korea really believes were about to conduct a preemptive strike on this could be a significant and serious preemptive strike that may. They may be motivated to make it to try to be just like the first. Time. When people discuss historys most shocking political assassinations that decades later still raises more questions than answers the case they usually first comes to mind is the tragic killing of president john f. Kennedy and the neverending back and forth of the roles of Lee Harvey Oswald fidel castro Lyndon Johnson and the countrys intelligence agencies and had in the scandal one mystery surrounding it but what gets lost in the polarizing world of j. F. K. Assassination theories and debates is the much more startling and frankly bizarre facts surrounding the murder of j. F. K. His brother and president ial front runner robert f. Kennedy gunned down in a Los Angeles Hotel kitchen hours after winning a crucial president ial primary but according to researchers say no sullivan and many others are of caged convicted us thats and simply cannot be the only one culpable in the killing here is what he had to stay. Historically in that in there in the. Early seventys and witness testimony established that Sarah Harding was in the right position and he was too far away from Bobby Kennedy to actually be the person who killed him im sorry who was in front of Bobby Kennedy at the barrel of his gun it was just a thought and a half to five feet away according to the witness testimony and the autopsy tells us that the fatal shot was fired from an inch behind Bobby Kennedys right ear so that was really the starting point for the alternative view of the assassination in the early seventys and in recent years. The only audio recording of the shooting and then our listeners that has established with thirteen shots were fired in the country superstar hand gun only health eight bullets all of those were expended but with five other witnesses are five other bystanders injured in the pantry three shots hitting Bobby Kennedys body one going through shoulder pad two bullet holes found in country door frames and there were no audio recording the person shots were fired that pretty clearly establishes in my mind that there were two shooters in the country that night and because of the body position and because of their hands and mental state at the time i gravely doubt that he was the one who killed Bobby Kennedy i believe there was a second gunman involved lets talk a little bit because i think in this day and age because of television and we really like to see forensic evidence and understand how that tells the story what are those you can find if you know them but what are the main inconsistency is that you know dead between sort of the cold hard forensic evidence and the official version of it that can you kind of walk us through those. Sure well you know in terms of the official story sir who was the one who was caught in the pantry he was waving a gun and Bobby Kennedy fell three shots were fired into kennedys body and it seemed an open and shut case the star was apprehended and so who was there when he killed him. But i think the strongest thrust forensic to. Meeting we have today is the audio recording of the gun shop which at the time because it was recorded on a cassette tape in a portable by a portable tape recorder by a Police Reporter it wasnt seen as of any forensic value by the police when they first examined it because they didnt have the technology to analyze this its a fairly poor recording to analyze it to the degree that its been on ice in recent years so they couldnt establish that there were shots on the tape at the time but a recent analysis by Phil Van Praag has established that thirteen shots were fired so i think thats the strongest evidence that we have that there were two shooters involved also the body position. In relation to kennedy and what the autopsy tells us about where the killer was when he far that in this shop and then just behind kennedys right here the. Contrast to the conflict between surgeons body position and the starting position dictated by the autopsy to meet the strongest forensic audio forensic evidence that we have and just just to clarify that for our audience that home just so i understand it is well the original statement or the original official story was that he was standing in front of Bobby Kennedy when he shot him but injuries show that he would have had to bend standing behind him because Bobby Kennedy was shot at least one shot went from behind by d. C. Are correct. Thats a pretty big thank you yeah thats exactly the way. There is that theyre yeah its a must have discrepancy between the autopsy findings and it came up at the grand jury and even two days after the shooting and one of the. Assistant prosecutors in the los angeles. Couldnt couldnt believe that the fatal shot was fired from three inches because none of the witnesses thats the barrel of their hands gun was that within three inches of kennedy so if you closely examine the witness thats me there is a big disparity between the five position behind kennedy and behind his right ear and her hands firing position which is in front of kennedy the barrel of his gun one and a half to five feet away exactly you know what the interesting figure of this drew is its surrounded around the you know he was he was you know convicted of the crime went to jail but it really a lot of when you look at the mr mystery around this guy im reminded a lot of like you know leos wild type of figure you know and that stuff that there was so many moving parts around this guy that dont really add up walk us through some of the things that you discovered about story. In the research for your book because the guy is truly one of those wildly wonderful mysterious clever figures in history at this point. And yeah and i mean i guess hes the closest thing we have to realize manchurian candidate if you if you examine his story closely i mean the defense psychiatry at the time prior to trial they walked him back through this juicing and tried through you know jog his recall and put her on a member have notice to try to remember the shooting and they became convinced that he was going to hypnotic state at the time of this shooting in the pantry of the Ambassador Hotel on june fifth one hundred sixty eight and that may sound like quite a wild theory but actually he was into his nose just at the time he spent a lot of his time hypnotizing himself with the crystal in his room and writing very strange automatic writing in a notebook that was laid. Were found and submitted in evidence and it had notations and repetitions of phrases like r. Of k. Must die or if came a speed assassinated before june five hundred sixty eight in terms of the motive that was used at trial june five nine hundred sixty seven had been the start of the arab israeli war the six day war in which the arabs had been completely vanquished by the Israeli Forces and kennedy had made Campaign Promise during his campaign perhaps partly to to you know in terms of the with the jewish vote in mind that he would pay for their defensemen the fifty bombers that had been lost by the israelis during that conflict so that promise to buy fifty found subjects was cited as evidence of why sir one may have wanted to kill Bobby Kennedy and why he may have gone to the pine tree that nice but if you actually look at the steps that he took towards the path towards the Ambassador Hotel that night it was really by complete accident that he went there here and there was a party going on and his friend didnt turn up. And he made his way down basically just to try and meet girls and try to have a good time at out a party and they didnt find out later at that kennedys kind of the reception was there for the California Democratic primary. And later there was an encounter with a girl in the polka dot dress who some believe gave him the cue to actually enact hypnotic program and kill kennedy its incredible when you when you look at the story but then when you look at like you know comparatively around that same time you also suddenly had you know the investigations going on like by rockefeller and church where youre saw that the cia and other u. S. Covert agencies were experimenting with that kind of. Thing and delamere all through it like all of those sort of thing that they think theyve admitted. And admitted to doing or at least trying to do you think thats the cot thats sort of the her but you know i think that. Well i think thats an interesting point because this is you know obviously the trial of saddam was generally sixty nine so it was i think eight years before any of the stuff really came out and before the public and investigators were aware of it so it seemed even more while at the time because there was nothing out in the public apart from you know the manchurian muncher in kind of a movie and book which which may have been somewhat inspired by rumors that this stuff was going on but we didnt know really until the mid to late seventys that the cia had been trying to create a program to soften and whether it be cia or whether it be other nefarious forces there was clearly an attempt to create another key programs assassin who once they did the deed wouldnt have would have an easier for the event and this in a sense would be the perfect assassin that they wouldnt be able to remember what happened to them and they be the perfect prophecy. Even in terms of a book this recently come out in the last months by in this Israeli Intelligence analyst he in that book he mentions that the israelis were trying to create a brainwashed assassin in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight before they they had bonded efforts apparently so definitely this was something that the intelligence agencies worldwide were trying to create as a means to you know i guess get rid of whatever targets they deemed necessary and make it look and thats ok i think for people at home the idea of doing that would be because then you sort of are able to say lone wolf its not connected to anything as long as its not its just some crazy person and lost it so who do you think it is using that as an example the thought it was a set up to do that to you who do you think was behind that or what is your evidence in your book that you know sort of lead to you to believe who was behind this well and. You know ultimately why do you think he was killed i mean you know we have the. Error of israeli situation going on do you think that was that not to do that someone would have asked it would be odd i wouldnt im not saying it wouldnt. Mean i think in all of these cases perhaps in the j. F. K. Case but also as well i mean you see a pattern in terms of a legend being created around a certain character who is being set up for the fall in an assassination of this kind of a sickly with a with oswald it was the cuban situation he was apparently pro castro and he was doing it you know partly for those motivations and those reasons obviously the the pro our political beliefs of star hand the fact he was a loner that he didnt have many many friends who could track his movements or track any of his strange behavior all of this in a sense made him the perfect fall guy for an operation like this i think what you also have to acknowledge with an operation like this is that a lot of resources go into it in terms of whitening it clean and leaving very few traces of who was actually behind it and who pulled the trigger in terms of the second gunman the fascinating thing for me in terms of writing the book and making a film about this case is talking to kind of former intelligence or former Police Professionals who basically say at this level for this kind of assassination only the shadow knows in terms of who the second gunman was i mean they would be a professional hit man they would come in they would do the job they would get out of there obviously all the pandemonium around. Come paine victory speech two minutes later going into the pantry seventy seven people being in a very low ceilinged crowded room then we lit room it would be fairly easy to escape and not to leave it leave any traces that make it very hard for some like me to come around and come along you know forty years later and say who did water whos got what i think at this stage is more important fifty years later we acknowledge the ip. Indians of those closest to the case in this case that would be Robert Kennedy jr and Bobby Kennedys son who has gone on record two years ago surrounds last parole hearing saying he wanted the case reopened on the strength of the audio forensic evidence in this case im paul scrapes who was very very close friend of Bobby Kennedy who was walking eight feet behind him in the night is choosing i was talking to had he believes by spirit and he has tried to reopen the case for over forty five years because now ninety three years old he was actually you know probably in all probability shocked by star hunt on that night and he believed and did not kill his close friend Bobby Kennedy so if you have people of that caliber believing that it is to be a i dont i reopened investigation and that surround was not responsible for killing Bobby Kennedy and i think you know they california authorities in favor of the federalists our authorities did pay some attention to that rather than just chasing after you know who the gunman was at this stage if theyre still alive and who may have paid for the bullets. Government perhaps moving stuff we should definitely check out this book its a great read all right everybody that is our show for you today for murder one in this world we are. Told the wall. I rolled with people watching the hawks and the great. Thanks. To it. From the solution in the spokesmen for. The first thing in the book was that which was listening on the lookout for shit. I. Believe that this is so for you im just im also trying. To gather some are. The stakes couldnt be higher and its happening in syria the goal of destroying the Islamic State is largely complete now the syrian proxy war is in train a new stage for the players and one of their aims and what is winning. In twenty forty you know bloody revolution of you tube demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just no war here i mean your list with video of the neighbor lose out on the school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g.
