From Lauren Johnson's post #10 on page 1:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. creates a story with legs'
In early December, 1963, less than one month after the assassination of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Sr., and Jackie Kennedy asked William Walton,
an artist and family friend who was going to Moscow to attend a meeting of artists there to look up a KGB agent (Georgi Bolshokov) RFK knew from the
Russian Embassy in the US to whom he had given John Kennedy's messages for Khrushchev. Walton was to ask him what the Russians thought about
the JFK assassination. As I recalled it from the book ONE HELL OF A GAMBLE (by Aleksandr Fursenko and Timothy Naftali, 1997), Walton was told that
the Russians believed it had been a right-wing conspiracy plot, and this was relayed back to RFK and Jackie.
According to Jim Douglass' book (JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABLE, pp. 377-380, softcover edition), Robert Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy wanted to send a message
to Khrushchev and the Soviets that they believed the assassination was not a communist plot, but a domestic conspiracy by right-wing extremists. They were
curious as to what the Soviets thought about the assassination and they weren't satisfied with the explanations they were given by US investigators. It seemed
that they trusted the Soviets more than the CIA and other US agencies on this matter. Jim DiEugenio also describes this trip by the painter, William Walton in
his new book, DESTINY BETRAYED.
And one has to admit that the "Oswald did it alone" with the single Magic Bullet and a head shot from the back of the head which exited from the forehead
(two bullets in toto) was a pretty ridiculous idea. And a smart guy like Robert Kennedy and even Jackie herself who scrambled onto the trunk of the limousine
to collect a part of JFK's brain, probably had plenty of questions about the official story. In fact, I remember Jackie saying she did not want to change from her
blood-stained pink suit because she wanted "them to see what they had done" or words to that effect, using the plural terms.
They also wanted to convey to Khrushchev and the Soviets that there would be basic changes in the US policies from those of President Kennedy under the
administration of President Lyndon Johnson. They also asked William Walton to tell the Soviets that Robert Kennedy was planning to make some political
moves so that he could be in a position eventually to run for the presidency and carry on John Kennedy's policies. I think this early reaction and move by
Robert Kennedy is very important, and it shows that he knew almost immediately after the assassination of his brother who was responsible, in general, for
his bother's death. Not until he was president could he do much about it. In all likelihood his children were also told. I think that John F. Kennedy, Jr., the
son of JFK, also knew because he published articles in his magazine, George, which spole out about similar assassinations, one in Israel, and an article by
Oliver Stone on historic assassinations.

Quote:RFK Jr. said that his father "was fairly convinced at the end of that that there had been involvement by somebody," to which Rose replied, "Organized crime, Cubans?"
"Or rogue CIA," RFK Jr. said.
