I was 13 and an RFK fan that summer. Such traumatic psychodramas stick in your memory at an early age. I remember hearing Martin Luther King's assassination being announced while I was doing my homework at the dining room table, April 4th, 1968.

I remember RFK speech that very night. Kennedy addressed an all-black rally in the heart of Indianapolis's ghetto*

Kennedy himself was shot two months later, on the occasion of his victory speech having won the Democratic primary of the State of California, which assured he'd win the nomination in at the Democratic in Chicago. If he hadn't been killed he would have won the '68 Presidential election by landslide over Richard Nixon. It was a surreal summer in America with two assassinations in a row explained by 'lone gunmen' again.

I've never forgotten a key bit of information reported at the time. Kennedy gave the California victory speech in the Embassy Ballroom of Ambassador Hotel around midnight. After the speech, someone among his security staff changed the previously planned exit route. Originally he was supposed to walk through the Ballroom to the Colonial Room for a press conference. Instead, he was diverted to walk through the narrow Kitchen storage area (pantry) where he was shot.

My grandparents and a lot of people were very suspicious: if Sirhan was another 'Lone Gunman', then how did he know to be lying in wait in the Pantry corridor?

I remember the film of the shooting didn't show anything but the backs of the crowd, and a few seconds of Kennedy lying on the floor. CBS reported that a Palestinian in the crowd shot Kennedy, and was captured and held by a black celebrity NFL football player, Rosie Greer. Grier stated, "So I see George Plimpton has the gun pointed at his face, and I'm concerned that it is going to go off, so I put my hand under the trigger housing and I pulled back the hammer so it couldn't strike. I wrench the gun from Sirhan. I find the pin and I ripped it out and held it. Now I have the gun in my hand, so I shove it in my pocket." Grier later said, "I grabbed the man's legs and dragged him onto a table. There was a guy angrily twisting the killer's legs and other angry faces coming towards him, as though they were going to tear him to pieces. I fought them off. I would not allow more violence."

I'm also one of those people who will research something until I find out the truth; at least, within my ability to do so. The truth is the prize, but that doesn't mean that the problem will be solved. It does help other people in avoiding political and religious systems that are destructive.

Trying to find justice in the courtroom is like being in hell asking Satan for a glass of water. I'm convinced that lawyers wear their ties very tight is because it keep their foreskin from covering their heads. Judges and lawyers are the trailer-trash of mankind. These are the worst people on the planet and there's nothing that will convince me otherwise. I have personally seen them alter transcripts and hide exculpatory evidence in order to get the outcome that they want in a trial. These are the most evil people in the world. Working in the legal system is the most dishonorable thing a man can do.

The media didn't tell the truth in the JFK assassination, so it follows that they lied about the shooting of RFK. One thing people should know is that when anyone watches mainstream media, they are being bullshitted to the highest degree. And since we are almost hypnotized by the TV as it clouds our ability to reason an issue for ourselves. I like to avoid all TV and movies and just reason things out for myself. I used to think I was well informed by watching CNN; I was so wrong.

"I have always been an avid reader and researcher - something I seemed to have little control over. Also I collected rare books and antiques." (Rose)

I did not know that there were other people like me. I read that quote to my husband and he laughed. Rose and I are kindred spirits.

Every afternoon, I crawl up to bed and read the most horrible books on the workings of psychiatrists in history and in the world. At one point, I wondered, "What kind of creature am I that I can sustain such an interest in this awful information yet I can hardly read a novel?" Since I could not do anything about the drugging of children or the overpowering of the elderly and of every living, breathing person here, I COULD at least educate myself about it.

I have collected rare books, too...books psychiatrists no doubt figured would be buried with time. Unfortunately for them, the Internet and abebooks came to the rescue. I now have an archive of psychiatrists' books that could put them in jail (if they were still alive). I trot out the information for the parents in Ontario who are fighting the sex ed social engineers.

The control over it? Rose is right. I don't seem to have control over it either. I stand up and vow to quit until one hour later when I have an idea on a connection or concept. Away I go.

But what about the antiques? I am always sniffing out old china and depression glass for my collections. Rose, you are not alone.
