RFK and The Kennedy Curse

Posted in RFK and the Kennedy Curse with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 19, 2010 by Mark Shaw

Is the Kennedy family cursed? Some say “yes;” others believe the tragedies experienced over the years have simply been coincidence, simply happenstance.

To my way of thinking, there are no coincidences, and thus the series of tragic events occurring to the Kennedy’s has been more due to various instances of irreverent, immortal, and yes, illegal conduct triggering an essence of bad Karma infesting each family member. In my new book, Sacrificial Lamb: How Robert F. Kennedy Killed His Brother Jack, the curse of the Kennedy’s is explored based on thorough research detailing the actions of papa Joseph Kennedy through John and Robert. By doing so, it is crystal clear as to who was responsible for JFK’s assassination, brother Bobby. “Why” this is so springs forward causing a completely new thought process about the violent acts in Dallas in 1963.

Reclaiming History – Simply Not True

The more I research my theological view of the JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald assassinations, the more I am convinced, with all due respect, of the false nature of Vincent Bugliosi’s book, Reclaiming History. While Vince’s aim was a worthy one, he got caught mixing his facts when he attempted to fit the facts to the conclusions he wanted to reach, namely, that Oswald acted alone. But, as I point out, Vince is off the track with much of what he writes and perhaps worse, ignores facts that are contrary to his conclusions.

Bottom line: my book, Sacrificial Lamb: How Robert F. Kennedy Killed His Brother Jack, figuratively speaking of course, presents for the first time the real truth about the assassinations. By examining the motives behind famed attorney Melvin Belli’s representation of Jack Ruby, all of the pieces fall together pointing to the true killers of JFK and why they killed him instead of Bobby.

RFK, J. Edgar Hoover and the HSCA Report

Wow, if you want to see how the actions, or in truth, inactions of Robert Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover are lambasted by the House Select Committee on Assassinations Report, just take a quick look at the section where the committee details how both appeared to block any investigation of JFK’s assassination. Makes one wonder why this occurred, what the motives were, and all will be clear in my new book about the assassinations, Sacrificial Lamb.

RFK and Hoover, quite the pair!

RFK and James Hoffa

How many have read Robert F. Kennedy’s book, The Enemy Within? Wow, if you want to better understand how much hatred RFK had for Hoffa and his band of organized crime friends, this book will provide all of the gory details. No wonder the two were like, as one author wrote, “two scorpions in a bottle.” No wonder each believed the other to be a “mortal enemy.” No wonder any list of those suspected of being behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy had to include James Hoffa.

In my new book, Sacrificial Lamb, closer inspection of why Hoffa was truly the one who ordered JFK be killed is presented in a logical, common sense manner using the homicide detectives four best friends, motive, means, opportunity and who benefited from the crime. When this occurs, there is no doubt who assassinated JFK in the greatest murder mystery in history.

Melvin Belli – Did He Silence Jack Ruby?

Despite several clues causing any JFK assassination researcher to shake his head in wonder, no one has ever probed the “why” behind why famed San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli represented Jack Ruby. In my new book, Sacrificial Lamb, this aspect of the tragic events in Dallas is considered based, in part, on a comment mobster Santo Trafficante made to mob lawyer Frank Ragano, who represented him, James Hoffa, and New Orleans Don Carlos Marcello. When Ragano told Trafficante that he had hired Belli to help him with a civil suit again Time Magazine, Trafficante, according to Ragano, remarked, “I’m surprised he [Belli] would take your case . . . Che, [Ragano] whatever you do, don’t ask him about Jack Ruby. It’s none of your business.”

In Sacrificial Lamb, evidence linking Belli to the mob connects Trafficante’s surprising statement with why Belli represented Ruby. If you have your own interpretation of what the statement meant, please let me know.

RFK and The Get Hoffa Squad

Interviewed a member of Robert F. Kennedy’s “Get Hoffa” squad re RFK’s crusade to rid the world of Teamsters boss James Hoffa in the early 1960s. Wow, talk about hatred between two people; Hoffa and RFK certainly detested each other with Hoffa nearly strangling RFK one night when the attorney general made Hoffa wait for a meeting while RFK walked his dog.! Is there any doubt Hoffa, and his Mafia friends, wanted RFK dead. If so, why didn’t they have him assassinated instead of JFK. Would be interested in your opinions; my own will be in Sacrificial Lamb, my new book coming this fall.

Quick – answer this question. What was the motive for the assassination of John Fitzerald Kennedy:

1) LBJ wanted to be president

2) Joe Kennedy double-crossed the Mafia by insisting that JFK appoint brother Bobby attorney general

3) Cubans hated JFK for botching the Bay of Pigs invasion

4) Jackie Kennedy was tired of JFK cheating on her

5) J. Edgar Hoover wanted to be president

6) Other reason (please specify)

Please let me know your thoughts.

Bobby Kennedy’s Startling Statement

Posted in Bobb Kennedy's Startling Statement with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 14, 2010 by Mark Shaw

What should we make of Bobby Kennedy’s startling statement minutes after his brother Jack was assassinated: “There’s so much bitterness I thought they would get one of us, but Jack . . . I never worried about it . . I thought they would get me instead of the president.”

Makes one wonder why RFK would say such a thing. And whether he knew who the true killers of JFK were. New, fresh evidence coming soon in my book, Sacrificial Lamb, a common sense, logical approach to the assassinations that points the finger of blame right where it should have pointed all along: the Kennedy family, and Bobby in particular. More about the book on the way.
