Assassinations and Attempts in U.S. Since 1865

Thinking about what just 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 od 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?

America's obsession with assassinating other Americans

American Assassination History for Dummies: It’s hard to have a serious conversation about America’s drone assassination policy when no one seems to have a basic grasp of recent history. This cultural amnesia epidemic is starting to get me down— which is partly my fault for paying more than two minutes’ attention to Twitter at a single go. 

 The problem starts with Reagan, as problems so often do. Most people on the left take for granted that Reagan’s executive order 12333 "banned assassinations" — which is not just a false interpretation, but really awful mangling of one of the dark turning points in modern American history. 

When I first saw the title assassination History for Dummies I automatically thought Presidents but this was or is the assassination of citizens. Obama gets the credit for starting it with the drones but this is something else you can credit Reagan with. The Bush body count

Osama bin Laden killing could justify killing Col Gaddafi: No way! What the hell is wrong with us? Where the hell are we going with this?

Osama bin Laden killing could justify killing Col Gaddafi

There is no way in hell! What the heck have we come to? Osama Bin Laden was a unique case and his vendetta against the west is only increasing since his assassination and it will get much worse. Pakistan Taliban warns of retaliation: Al Jazeera has obtained exclusive footage that appears to show the group vowing revenge for Osama bin Laden's death. This makes absolutely no sense knowing Bin Laden betrayed them but will gain new terrorism converts which is the only goal

Osama Bin Laden was by his own decree America's number one enemy. He perpetrated 9/11 the worst attack on American soil in History and vowed to do worse still. Even in death he will do his damnedest to do worse. It was right for us to kill him. I do not understand though how anyone can compare the justification of killing Osama Bin Laden to justifying killing Moamar Gaddafi.

There is no comparison period! What the hell is wrong with us? We are not in the business of assassinating leaders who do not do our bidding or are we? Yes I agree we owe Gaddafi for personally ordering the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland that killed 270, mostly American's. Pan Am flight 103 Wikipedia I do believe we should press ahead with legal proceedings on that issue but even that does not justify assassination by us.

I firmly disagree with Gaddafi murdering thousands of his own people because they want their freedom and ordering his mercenaries to rape as many of their women as possible. Gaddafi and even his family has earned the ire of his own people, "his own people". I said from day one that Gaddafi will not stop killing as many as he possibly can before he is taken out.

If there was a way to totally neutralize Gaddafi's heavy weapons and defenses those rebels may stand a chance. Still, remembering Gaddafi's original statement that many thousands will be killed I am afraid he is getting closer to using his cyanide, mustard gas and vast reserves of chemical weapons. It is up to the rebels or one of his confidants to take out Gaddafi but assassinating him will do nothing. His entire family and all of his followers willow have to be taken out.

You know I firmly believe we should drop a MOAB (mother of all bombs) or a 30,000 pound bunker buster in the middle of his compound designed to dig 7 or 8 stories underground before detonating and take as many of them out as we can. They are not going to relent period. In this current situation Gaddafi is guilty of committing crimes against humanity, crimes against his people not ours.

In closing: There is absolutely no comparison between what Bin Laden did and what Gaddafi is currently doing unless we are looking for justification to assassinate him and impose our will once again. What the hell have we come to? What would this mean to the future of the unstable worlds stability?Think of the myriad of repercussions. Mind boggling! When are we going to draw the line?

The task before us is leaking out. Keeping Obama Alive is MLK's Keeping hope alive. Remember the past and Hope For the Future! Keep Obama, hope Alive!

You all know by now what Hillary said and said Friday that she regretted comments that evoked the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy as part of her explanation for why she was staying in the presidential race late into the primary season. i think it was a Freudian slip and will explain in a moment but first her excuse. Earlier Friday afternoon, she told the editorial board of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Argus Leader that "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it," she said. Wait a minute what the hell?

Clinton complained that "people have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa" and said that position "historically ... makes no sense." Later at an event in Brandon, South Dakota, she said, "Earlier today, I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Sen. Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968, and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nominating primary contests that go into June. That's an historic fact." Watch more of Clinton's comments to the editorial board » The campaign of her rival for the Democratic nomination for president, Sen. Barack Obama, reacted quickly. "Sen. Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign," it said in a statement.
* Her campaign first defended the remarks, saying the New York senator had been making a historical parallel. "She was simply referencing her husband in 1992 and Bobby Kennedy in 1968 of historical examples of the nominating process going well into the summer. Any reading into it beyond that is inaccurate and outrageous," Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said. Kennedy, the brother of slain President John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed just moments after claiming victory in the California primary in 1968. Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that people may have "misinterpreted what she meant."

Therein lies the truth! The truth is leaking out! Check this out! I will maybe do something with this for later! Many around here want to hear nothing but positive get very mad at me when I say just wake up look at the past and realize what we have before us. It is up to us to keep Obama alive. That is our duty our version of keeping hope alive. I keep telling people to remember MLK, RFK, and JFK. Remember what happened to them, remember Kent State. It has all been excused and nothing adequately solved. You know conspiracy theories aside I believe those behind the right did it all and more. This mess will bge much worse because events get larger not smaller as we progress. read all the excuses and watch the other video if you want

It is all going to happen again only repercussions will be much more dire. Think positive but plan for reality. The right is not going to allow the awesome power amassed under Bush or their agenda into the hands of Dems thus putting and end to it. Forget about it. Hillary let the cat out of the bag that is all. People should be smart enough to know what we are dealing with hear. Some around us think Hillary on the ticket will signal Obama's assassination. I firmly believe at least a furtive attempt is a foregone conclusion. There are those I stay in touch with around Europe and Australia that point out that RFK, JFK, and MLK, were shot with high power weapons and given no chance to live while the facade of an attempt on Reagan was by a pea shooter and only allowed his agenda to move forward.

It is no coincidence that Regan's mess and banner were picked up by Daddy Bush and coming to a head under little Bush. As you know, this mess was on hold here, in the middle east, and around the world, until the right could find the right mindless unintelligent cheer leading loser to fool the people and blind to the consequences push this agenda through In Bush they found their man and this is well on its way. They will not be denied now! I am convinced that President McCain is already a foregone conclusion as far as the right is concerned. If there appears to be a problem getting that to happen underhanded or not via an Obama assassination or a Hillary nomination which would lead to President McCain, Bush will attack Iran first and be very concerned anyway you look at it what happens from there. Remember the awesome power Bush has to control every State, every States power grids and Militia, and to imprison all against the government and its supposed righteous agenda. remember those NAFTA prisons! I don't want to rain on anyone's parade.

I just want people to realize we are the enemy not the terrorists. They are merely the tool! I love seeing everyone so involved in Politics today and we need it. I just want people to realize what they have a task before them. I see I have an Email from the relentless Liberal I have to get too. This is probably his concern too but him and those around him think we have been here before but there is no way in hell. I will continue to try to get them activated and concerned citizens like yourself and others here to realize the brevity of the situation and the task before us while an important positive attitude is kept. Take care and continue to fight for Obama, our America, and our Children some of which are fighting Bush's Forever War as I write this!

Marking the fortieth anniversary of MLK's assassination made me rethink other assassinations knowing I fear one coming on!

Marking the fortieth anniversary of MLK's assassination made me rethink other assassinations knowing I fear one coming on, Is the right behind all of these?

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. The only one we know for sure and its motivation and who was behind it was Reagan's. What a coincidence! Knowing I absolutely expect Obama to be assassinated if it looks like he may get elected by the powers behind the right as they will not allow a unifier as President let alone a Black, 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.

1. Citizens for Truth about the Kennedy Assassination (CTKA) — Their Probe magazine online, with material on the assassinations of RFK, MLK, and others.
2. Who Shot Martin Luther King? — in six chapters.
3. Coalition on Political Assassinations — Researches JFK, RFK, MLK and other assassinations. Researches JFK, RFK, MLK and other assassinations

The truth is never lnown 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? knowing that and knowing those powers can not let the abusive power gained under Bush to get in the hands of Democrats I expect the right to do something underhanded to stay at the helm of these just beginning Forever Wars. As a last resort I fully expect those powers whoever they are to assassinate Obama too.

Yesterdays discussion of Barak Obama and the portent if nominated as he will be after input last night I am convinced there will be an assassination!

I got this from a friend in Australia !

Yesterday I voiced my very real, Deep concern about Barrak Obama: the MSM says Race is not a concern here and they are dead wrong. It is not a concern of mine or many others in the Democratic party but remember this is only the Primary. I absolutely 100% expect Obama to be our nominee and will be our next President. However Caroline's endorsement of Obama saying he is most like her Father eliciting the support of the masses makes me remember one of my many concerns for these elections. As her Father was assassinated I fully believe that is a very real concern when it comes to running for the Presidency. There are many as you know, in the Republican party who will never accept it. Today after new findings I am convinced!

I just got through listening to Barraks acceptance speech after being endorsed by Caroline and Ted and Patrick Kennedy! it was a rousing speech and the more I hear him speak I know he is what the country needs, I know he can do the job, and the more concerned I get pre-election.
First I happened to have gotten an E from Jerome last night and if anyone knows JFK and his accomplishments primarily because he was a part of them, it is the relentless liberal. This is what he had to say and it makes me even more concerned:

Revisiting John Fitzgerald Kennedy By Jerome Grossman:

President John F. Kennedy has a special place in the hearts of Americans for many positive reasons but especially because he was assassinated in the middle of his term of office on November 22, 1963. A handsome and charismatic leader, he was a gifted orator whose speeches regularly focused on inspirational themes. He arrived at the White House with no executive experience, a factor that led him into serious difficulties early in his term.

In his campaign for election in 1960, Kennedy attacked the Eisenhower - Nixon administration from the right, accusing it of weakening American security by building too few planes, missiles and other military supplies. After taking power, Kennedy significantly increased U.S. military strength and began using it in Vietnam, increasing the number of US soldiers there from 665 to 16, 000, and sending them into combat in Vietnam for the first time.

Early in his term, Kennedy suffered a serious defeat when he allowed the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba that failed. Then he met in Vienna with Soviet Premier Khrushchev to negotiate rights to Berlin. That also failed, brought the two countries to the brink of war, and inaugurated a period of great tension and confrontation marked by the Soviet erection of the Berlin Wall.

Kennedy did have some minor successes in foreign-policy: establishing the Peace Corps, the Alliance for Progress in Latin America, and the Treaty Banning Nuclear Testing in the Atmosphere. His handling of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 received mixed reviews: some praised the result that avoided nuclear war, others criticized Kennedy for "brinkmanship."On domestic matters, Kennedy offered programs for significant reform in many areas, but he was unable to negotiate them through the Democratic Congress.

They were either killed or not acted upon. On the civil rights crisis, Kennedy initially asked Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to cancel the 1963 March on Washington but acquiesced when it became inevitable. The Kennedy agenda was adopted by Congress under the leadership of his successor, Lyndon Johnson, who was an experienced manager and negotiator, who knew how to promote, threaten, swap and deal.

Now the powerful Kennedy family has endorsed Barack Obama for president because of his similarity in person, style, and the level of experience to the martyred president. Caroline Kennedy has written that "Obama would be a president like my father." Edward M. Kennedy, Ethel Kennedy, and Ted Sorensen agree with her.

If Obama wins the Democratic nomination and then the presidency, we would hope for his success in managing this complicated country of 300 million people with so many competing interests and negotiating with other nations to protect U.S. interests. In so many ways, Obama does remind of Kennedy; appearance, charisma, eloquence, poise and the emphasis on inspiration, but especially in his lack of executive experience. There is no guarantee that any of the presidential candidates of either party will be able to inspire, lead and manage. Of these abilities the most important is to manage and the career of charismatic John F. Kennedy proves the point. Revisiting JFK by Jerome Grossman

I'm telling you this is very prophetic and I know the powers that are really behind Bush and the Republicans will not allow a Black President or another JFK that will bind us together. Remember what happened then, It will happen again. knowing that, I received an Email last night from a friend in Australia with a comment. This blew me away as like you I never even thought about it. As we always say today with this misadministration if you want to hear the truth you have to go outside the Country and MSM. In this case it was England.

From Amphibious the cartoon: This is from my favorite political cartoonist, Steve Bell of the British GUARDIAN - known to its readers as the GRAUNIAD for its constant typos, even in the long lost days when newspapers had sub editors and literate journalists. He drew it after the Iowa win and surely it is everyone's fear? In a country awash with weapons, it struck me as passing strange that Lennon was blown away with a .45 but Raygun was only pinged with a 22. I can't believe I never even thought in those terms but think about it!

** With Obama this is too good, it is too much, it is too prophetic! I absolutely expect an attempt on his life if it looks like he will be elected. Whoever the powers are behind Bush, the right, and who is really behind who is elected, will not allow a President that will unite us and drive us away from their endorsed agenda. they have gained too much ground behind Bush! His assassination would be just one of the excuses that may be caused by Bush's interests but it would give Bush his chance to curtail elections due to great revolt by the masses and declare martial law keeping him at the helm of his new (dis)order Forever wars!
