7 – The CIA Has Been Accused of the Murder
What’s a conspiracy theory without the alleged involvement of the CIA? The Central Intelligence Agency has been accused of almost every bad deed to have occurred on American soil since its foundation, and numerous crimes abroad! For many conspiracy theorists, it is the prime suspect in the JFK assassination, so it makes sense that the CIA would also want to wipe Bobby out too, right? At least, it is the most likely scenario according to Irish filmmaker and writer, Shane O’Sullivan.
His documentary, RFK Must Die, was the first such program on the assassination since The Second Gun some 25 years previously. O’Sullivan also wrote Who Killed Bobby? The Unsolved Murder of Robert F. Kennedy, which was published on the 40th anniversary of the assassination. During his investigation, O’Sullivan pointed out several of the issues I previously mentioned in this article. For example, he is adamant that the autopsy report is proof of Sirhan’s innocence.
David Sanchez Morales, a legend in the world of CIA covert operations, was apparently involved in both Kennedy assassinations. O’Sullivan wrote that during a late-night drinking session with friends in 1973, the subject of both assassinations came up. Morales allegedly said: I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard.” O’Sullivan had a photo of Morales from 1959 which he used for the purposes of comparison. He says that he can see the CIA man standing at the back of the ballroom between the end of the senator’s speech and the shooting in 1968.
The footage he viewed was seemingly a treasure trove of information. With the aid of retired U.S. Army Captain, Bradley Ayers, O’Sullivan was able to identify Morales and Gordon Campbell, another CIA operative in the video. He also named a third agent involved in the killing, a man named George Joannides. The depth of O’Sullivan’s evidence that the CIA is involved is far too long to go into any detail here so if you’re interested, I would suggest you watch the documentary or read the book. If you believe it is more conspiracy nonsense, it is best to avoid both and save yourself an aneurysm.
