JFK Ten Point Program The
truth has always been on our side. But in the court of public opinion,
our opponents still manage to score points. To remedy this, Joseph

Robert F. Kennedy was blocked Tuesday by the convicted killer's attorney.
Lawyer William Pepper said the purported description of Sirhan's visit
to the Ambassador Hotel where Kennedy was gunned down may be "significant
evidence" in an ongoing effort to win parole for the Pleasant Valley
State Prison inmate, now 67. See

Parole Denied
AP – Sirhan Sirhan, now 66, convicted of assassinating
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, gestures during a Board hearing.
The
San Francisco Chronicle marked the fortieth anniversary of the RFK assassination
by conceding that "questions linger" in the shooting.
William F. Pepper discussed the RFK assassination in a recent CNN
interview. Pepper now represents RFK's alleged assassin Sirhan Sirhan.
Two researchers say their analysis of a previously unknown audiotape
may provide new evidence of a second gunman in the assassination of Robert
F. Kennedy. Check here for
details. A Los Angeles TV report on this has been posted to YouTube. The two researchers say further that RFK's real assassin may
still be alive and living abroad. In 2008, the two held a news conference on
their findings. Later, they broke the ice at CNN.

The media's track record in the JFK case is abysmal, and this section is one
of the most important areas on this site.  ABC-TV
 CBS-TV
 NBC-TV
The articles you will find via the above links are a comprehensive dissection
of the media and its shameful coverage of the political assassinations of the
1960s.
If you are a newcomer to these cases, we strongly recommend you begin to
explore the site at this area. You will quickly understand why 1) the mainstream
media has a significant credibility problem, and 2) why the press sees these
cases one way and the public generally sees them another.
RFK Jr. tells us what
is wrong with the media today. It sounds like he knows what happened
to his father and uncle, and what the media had to do with it.

examples of Sorenson's speech writing ability:
"...here is a great deal to be said about
why those speeches were so good. Obviously, much of the credit
belongs to the person delivering the speech, and Ted Sorensen
was blessed with a partner of rare ability. But he brought his
