Cory Santos Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Then where is the proof from Garrison. This is something I would think Garrison would have mentioned somewhere over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bauer Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) 7 hours ago, Terry Adams said: Ron, I totally agree with you on everything you are saying. I should have added it in my post. The fact that he would take such information given him and make it public just angered me so much I had to say something about it. When Robert Kennedy, himself, says "there are guns between me and the white house", it is because he knows this, it is not, in my opinion, speculation. With all of the respect I have for Mark Lane, and it is immense, he should have known the risk he could be putting RFK in. Obviously the Ambassador Hotel plan was already in the works, but my belief is that with Bobby saying he was going to prosecute the perpetrators of his brother's murder, it seemed that he had names. These people were not going to let him get into the position to do that!! It's ominous that JFK, MLK and RFK were all killed in cities where they were greatly hated by the highest influence establishments ( Dallas =Texas oil, Mayor, D.A. ? ) and for sure police departments of those cities. I'll never forget listening to an audio tape of one of the managers of the Ambassador Hotel making the first call in to the L.A. police to report the shooting late evening June 6th. 1968. This caller was a women and the police dispatcher was a man. The manager first mentioned the shooting and then added that Robert Kennedy was staying at the hotel. The male policeman then immediately responded to the mention of Robert Kennedy's name with this coldly contemptuous comment ... "BIG DEAL!" The L.A. police department at that time was known to be generally very right wing...almost as much as the Dallas PD in 1963. I am sure the same hierarchy in Memphis felt that same way about MLK in April of 1968. I think JFK, RFK and MLK really didn't believe that the forces they threatened would actually go so far as to have them murdered. Tragically they were wrong. Well, when the Mafia became partners with the agencies...what would one expect? The truth that we as a society haven't come to terms with yet ... America is a very dangerous country ( and was in the 1960's ) if you truly threaten the real powers to be.

Paul Brancato Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I don’t think Lane put RFK’s life in danger. It didn’t matter what RFK or Lane said publicly, he was a marked man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hargrove Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 It appears that over the years a handful of other daily newspapers across the U.S. have repeated the words RFK allegedly said to Jim Garrison. Here's another one in addition to what Tony posted. It's from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Friday, Dec. 6, 1974, p4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he ran for Senate the people who killed JFK knew he was not totally devastated or intimidated by his brothers death and was not going to go quietly into the night. It was a signal to them that he might run in 68, to have a plan and people in place if he did. When he declared his candidacy they were activated. When he won the California primary and it then looked likely he would probably win the nomination, they were ready and acted immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 As I slowly read Burying The Lead I came across this tonight "In November of 1967 Mark Lane asserted on the John Hightower show...and later in he New York Free Press...two different emissaries... known by Garrison to be associated with Kennedy... did not believe the Warren Commission conclusion... and agreed a conspiracy had taken the life of his brother." "According to comedian Mort Sahl … the message from Bobby Kennedy was "I must wait until I reach the Whitehouse". Pgs. 224-225. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bulman Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) So, we have Mark Lane asserting before the New Orleans Grand Jury May, 10 1967, not the public, for Garrison in his pursuit of indictments, that RFK did not believe the Warren Commission, that his brother died as the result of a conspiracy. Then again in November 1967 on The Jim Hightower Show, WFAN-TV, Washington, and later in the New York Free Press, (Hyman, Burying the Lead, pgs. 224-5), the same thing. Also from it in the same time period Mort Sahl says the message from Bobby Kennedy is that "I must wait until I get to the Whitehouse...[to] get the guys who killed Jack". Then, on June 4th, six hours before RFK is shot at 12:15 on the 5th, Lane says on Washington TV "there are guns between me and the Whitehouse", quoted on 6/11 in the Vermont newspaper? Is this closer to accurate? Just trying to sort this out in my own mind. Edited May 30, 2019 by Ron Bulman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 This all seems to support the idea that RFK's assassination was in the works, if he ran, before he ran. https://www.amazon.com/Lie-Too-Big-Fail-Assassination-ebook/dp/B07J5RSBN1/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Lisa+Pease&qid=1559616837&s=books&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
