Chapter Eighteen<br />

The Heir to the Throne<br />

The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy<br />

Israel, Iran, Lansky & the CIA<br />

The murder of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother<br />

of the slain president, was vital to the continuing cover-up<br />

of the truth about the JFK assassination.<br />

If RFK had made it to the White House he would finally<br />

have had the power to bring his brother's killers to justice.<br />

The slaying of Robert F. Kennedy links not only Israel<br />

and its allies in the CIA and the Meyer Lansky Organized<br />

Crime Syndicate, but also SAVAK, the secret police of the<br />

Shah of Iran.<br />

On its face, the "official" explanation of the circumstances surrounding<br />

the death of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy is as simple as the<br />

Warren Commission Report on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In<br />

both instances, so the story goes, "one lone nut" was responsible for the<br />

crime. There was no conspiracy.<br />

Robert F. Kennedy's assassination in Los Angeles in 1968 came just after<br />

RFK (elected to the Senate from New York in 1964) had won the critical<br />

California Democratic presidential primary. This put the younger Kennedy in<br />

the lead for his party's presidential nomination and thus potentially in line to<br />

move into the White House following the general election.<br />

It was in the ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel where RFK delivered<br />

his California victory speech to an assembled crowd of supporters. After<br />

concluding his speech, the triumphant Kennedy wanted to work his way<br />

through the crowd in the ballroom to make his exit from the hotel.<br />

However, according to one campaign volunteer who was on the scene,<br />

one of Kennedy's handlers repeatedly insisted that Kennedy exit through the<br />

hotel kitchen behind the ballroom. The handler who was so insistent that<br />

RFK exit through the kitchen was Frank Mankiewicz, who had started his<br />

career in the public relations business at the Los Angeles office of the Anti-<br />

Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, and who, as we saw in Chapter<br />

17, handled publicity for Oliver Stone's JFK extravaganza. 766<br />

It was there in that kitchen where Mankiewicz steered Senator Kennedy<br />

that a young Arab-American named Sirhan Sirhan was waiting. According<br />

to the late William Sullivan, longtime assistant FBI director, "We could<br />

never account for Sirhan's presence in the kitchen of the Ambassador<br />

Hotel." 767 However, we now know why Bobby Kennedy left through the<br />

hotel kitchen, rather than the way he himself wanted to leave, although<br />

Mankiewicz has said that it was RFK's decision to go through the kitchen—<br />

against the former ADL man's wishes.
