Assassinations and Attempts in U.S. Since 1865




Thinking about what happened with the shooting of Representative Giffords and the upcoming anniversaries of the assassinations of MLK and JFK I had to look again at the extensive record of assassinations and attempts in our Government: As some of you know, I am increasingly pessimistic about the real history of events involving America since the advent of George W. made me realize nothing is as it seems or as we are told. realizing that we not only do not know the truth as to who assassinated MLK but RFK and JFK. I was compelled to delve into past assassinations.

I started wondering if it has become common to at least attempt to assassinate the leader of the other Party if they appear to be too much of a threat to your beliefs. More importantly I am seeing disturbing patterns. we are having civil Rights leader and Activists killed along with FRK and JFK and not only are they inadequately investigated but the truth never known as to who was behind their killings and why.

Although James Earl Ray was convicted of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., there are persistent doubts that he was the assassin, and the family of Dr. King now believes Ray is innocent. They are calling for a new trial for Ray, and investigation into the truth behind the event.

This page is a collection of materials and links that discuss this tragic event, but even if the case is never solved to the satisfaction of everyone, the investigations have served a useful purpose: to reveal deficiencies in our institutions, processes, and officials that require corrective action. Our focus will be on what needs to be done to correct those deficiencies.Researches JFK, RFK, MLK and other assassinations

The truth is never known and I am finding out that RFK's assassination was and still is a major cover up. This is mind-blowing! The extensive cover up

Knowing we never learned the truth behind the assassinations of MLK, RFK, and JFK, and knowing how openly corruptive and underhanded the right is today I am increasingly believing that the powers behind the right are behind the killings and I am willing to bet I'm right. I would like to know what you think about that?

I have long believed that JFK was murdered by EWO gunmen, one in font and one from behind. By closely examining the Zaprider film in slow motion, we see that his head jerked violently and quickly backward at the moment of the fatal shot. Such an occurrence would not happen with a bullet slamming into his skull from the rear. Until we see huge advancements in forensics, we will probably never know the truth. He DID have a lot of right wing and mob enemies, though, and any one of them could have pulled it off.

And isn't it funny how the Bin Ladin family waltzed out of the country a few days after 911 without so much as being asked one question by our FBI. And even though all planes were grounded for a week. Thought I'd point that out.

Hi Jack! I am convinced even if we know the truth it will never be admitted. The more I learn the more I do not know about our USA but it is ours!

I know Demeur! We never did and never will learn about that plane that mysteriously took off with who and went where right after 9/11 out of Washington I think it was.
