Interesting Stuff on the RFKA

Here is some copy on the RFK1A.

The RFK1A, like the JFKA, has spawned many narratives, with their adherents of varying, and sometimes intense, devotion.
I have long been dissatisfied with the RFK1A official narrative, but also most prominent non-official narratives.
I regret to say, aside from a rare Larry Hancock or John Hunt, most narratives appear to reflect the biases and agendas of their purveyors. Some RFK1A leads not followed up, and credence given to witnesses and evidence as convenient.
Below is a view of the RFK1A from Mel Ayton, who has also written a book on the RFK1A. His review (below) of Lisa Pease's work is about 85% analysis, and 15% personal animosity, and reflects his biases as well. Ayton is glib on some points, and should have withheld the animus, as it adds nothing to his narrative, and is annoying.
But Ayton does raise reasonable points about arguments fabricated by Sirhan's legal defense counsel, and seized on since in some RFK1A narratives.

It's sad to see you citing Ayton, especially on this issue. His stuff on the RFKA is just awful. While claiming to expose distortion, omission, and error, he commits massive distortion, omission, and error. Anyone who reads Pease's book and Tate and Johnson's book, and especially John Hunt's superb book, will see just how misleading Ayton's arguments are. Hunt's book Buried in Plain Sight makes a powerful case for conspiracy in the RFK shooting. Said Hunt, who was one of the most careful and thorough researchers ever to investigate the JFK and RFK cases,
Using nothing more than the official evidence of record it can be shown that convicted "assassin" Sirhan Bishara Sirhan alone could not have committed the crime, he did not fire the bullet that killed Robert Kennedy, and that the LAPD and LA County Coroner's Office wilfully covered up the evidence proving these assertions.

No, I do not think the JFKA, and RFK1A, were connected.

Thanks for your comment.
1. Yes, Hunt did not believe Sirhan acted alone, he had a co-conspirator. Sirhan knew that, and has lied about it ever since. But Hunt also said Sirhan fired live rounds at RFK (Lisa Pease's version is baloney).
2. Hunt believed that the hole in RFK's rear skull reflected the impact of a .38---that is, Cesar's gun.
I think Hunt is in error on this point.
Sirhan loaded his Iver Johnson Cadet 55-A revolver, .22, with what are called "long mags" or .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR) ammo manufactured by Cascade. This is a more-powerful type of .22 ammo, at 1,250 fps.
In addition, it is unclear whether surgeons removed bone particles from the skull wound when trying to save RFK's life. They certainly would not have left bone particles in the wound.
Hunt rests his case on the hole in RFK's skull being too large to have been made by a .22---but Hunt did not note the more-powerful type of ammo Sirhan used. Hunt went out on a limb on the bullet hole---but not every bullet strike results in the exact same type of bullet hole in bone.
3. No ear witnesses reported a different, or louder gunshot that night at the Ambassador. All gunshots sounded the same. All from the same type of weapon. So this tends to rule out the use of a .38 for one shot. A .38 does not give off the same sound as a .22.
4. Cesar was a maintenance plumber at Hughes, a company back then that employed thousands. The connection between Cesar and the Deep State is farcical.
Most likely Sirhan's accomplices were his own brother, and the polka-dot dress girl. And he has lied ever since about that.
