In reply to the discussion: Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy. [View all]AntiFascist
(12,792 posts)because it ends on the theory put forth by Castro himself, that US reactionaries (meaning the extreme right-wing) were behind the actual plot. This does not contradict the article's statement that RFK believed anti-Castro activities set into motion plans for the assassination.
I'm placing my faith in informed sources who were directly involved in the various investigations:
William Turner, former FBI agent turned author, who turned against J. Edgar Hoover and assisted Garrison.
John Moss Whitten, former CIA who investigated the assassination and eventually turned against CIA director, Richard Helms - Helms was then convicted of lying before the HSCA.
G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and Staff Director to the HSCA who turned against George Joannides as the CIA liason, stating that he could no longer trust anything the CIA said on the matter.
Robert F. Kennedy, former Attorney General, who according to a number of sources, felt the Warren Commission Report was lacking and developed his own questions about a conspiracy.
RFK initially investigated the Secret Service, James Hoffa, and the Castro government, finding none of these entities to be responsible. According to William Turner, he then solicited foreign contacts to investigate right-wing entities, the results of which were published in "Farewell America". Turner further cites sources who claim that RFK was intent on re-opening the investigation once he became president himself.
