Actor Robert Vaughn, Close Friend of Robert Kennedy, Believes Arafat and Onassis behind Bobby’s Assassination
Actor Robert Vaughn Exposes The Conspiracy Behind The Death Of Robert Kennedy
Here’s a blast from the past. Actor Robert Vaughn, in a replication of his former t.v. series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E, has discerned who ordered the death of Robert Kennedy.
From the Daily Mail:
“I know who was behind Bobby Kennedy’s murder.”
–Robert Vaughn
Vaughn, a close friend of Robert Kennedy and his wife Ethel, was devastated when he learned of Kennedy’s assassination in June of 1968.
Vaughn, co-star of the television show, The Man From U.N.C.L.E, goes through a rather complex and sometimes meaningless, in our opinion, analysis of the facts as he knows them and ascertains that Yasser Arafat, through an intermediary named Mahmoud Hamshari, executed a plot financed by Aristotle Onassis.
From the article:
“But Onassis wasn’t satisfied with Lee – he wanted Jackie herself. He took advantage of the First Lady’s vulnerability in August 1963, shortly after the devastating death of her two-day-old son, Patrick. Jackie accepted his invitation to stay on the Christina while she recuperated.
For Bobby, the way Onassis thrust himself into the Kennedys’ personal drama heightened the hostility between them. Onassis, of course, went on to marry Jackie in October 1968, five years after JFK’s death.
According to Evans, the notion of killing a Kennedy did not take shape in Onassis’s mind until early 1968 when he met Mahmoud Hamshari, a follower of Yasser Arafat and a fanatical anti-American and anti-Israeli activist.
Enraged by US support for Israel during the Six Day War in 1967, Hamshari suggested killing ‘a high-profile American on American soil’ would make the US government ‘think twice about backing the Jews’.
When Hamshari had an opportunity to meet Onassis, he used it to shake down the Greek magnate for money to carry out the plot.”
Jackie Kennedy with Onassis after their 1968 wedding. His intrusion into the Kennedys’ lives was deeply resented by Bobby.
“So was Bobby Kennedy’s shooting a non-controversial, open-and-shut case with a single, obvious suspect? Here’s a summary of the facts.
Firstly, Sirhan was apparently not in the right place to fire the bullets that killed Kennedy. The autopsy shows Kennedy was shot from behind, from below, from the right and with a gun positioned no more than three inches from his head.
Yet all the eyewitnesses said they saw Sirhan between one-and-a-half and five feet in front of Kennedy – a completely different location to the one he would have needed to be in to fire the fatal shots. This information was withheld until after Sirhan’s lawyers conceded his guilt.
Using the US Freedom of Information Act, Bernard Fensterwald, a Washington lawyer, obtained an FBI report on the shooting in 1976. It indicated that at least 12 bullets were fired in the hotel kitchen that evening.
Two were recovered from Bobby’s body and five from the bodies of wounded bystanders. Two more passed through Kennedy’s body, while three were found lodged in ceiling panels.”
Vaughn claims that 12 bullets were discharged. This seems a bit much. But there are in fact many who believe the investigation was incredibly sloppy and that the final report failed to distinguish between bullet holes versus bullets discharged. There’s also recordings of the shots. Sirhan Sirhan’s gun only could hold 8 rounds, giving rise to speculation of another shooter, so Vaughn’s assertion may very well be true.
When Kennedy was shot, he was in the midst of an entourage. They immediately focused on him rather than the shooter. Even the uniformed security guard with him faced forward rather than to the rear. There was further confusion when a Filipino kitchen helper and Roosevelt Grier threw themselves at Kennedy in a desperate bid to protect him. Rosey Grier, of course, wrestled Sirhan to the ground and disarmed him.
But:
“Finally, there are reasons to believe the Los Angeles police obstructed or neglected aspects of the case.
For example, although an armed security guard stated he was standing behind Kennedy at the time of the shooting – the location from which the fatal shots must have come – and even admitted dropping down and pulling his gun when the shooting began, his weapon was never checked to see if he might have fired any of the bullets that killed Kennedy, whether deliberately or accidentally.”
That doesn’t make real sense. The guard would have been armed with a .38 Special in 1968. If he was carrying a second gun, then this observation is meaningless: the .38 would still not have been discharged.

Sirhan was born in Jerusalem in 1944 to a Palestinian Christian family. His family immigrated to the United States when he was a child.
“During Sirhan’s trial his mother related how the intense feelings of the Palestinians remained with the family even though they had been far removed from the conflict when they immigrated to America. She told of how her family had lived in Jerusalem for “thousands of years” and she spoke of the bitterness and hatred of the Israelis who had “taken their land.” Mary Sirhan believed her son had killed Robert Kennedy because of his Arab nationalism. She said, “What he did, he did for his country.” A friend of Sirhan’s, John Strathman, believed the young Arab was heavily influenced by his mother’s views.”

Like many before him, Vaughn believes that Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian grieving over the 1967 disastrous war with Israel, was hypnotized.
“What about the mental state of Sirhan? Is it possible he could have been programmed to take the fall for Bobby’s murder?
This may sound implausible, but Dr Herbert Spiegel, a New York psychiatrist who teaches at Columbia University and is considered an expert on hypnosis, supports this theory. He believes Sirhan was probably acting in response to hypnotic directives when he fired at Kennedy.
Sirhan appeared badly disorientated after his arrest, and when he was given a psychiatric examination before his trial, he was found to be susceptible to hypnotic suggestion, even climbing the bars of his cell like a monkey upon command.
In all probability, Dr Spiegel suggests, Sirhan was still in a state of hypnotically induced amnesia.”
Incredible isn’t it? Even after 9/11 people still think that the degree of hatred in an Arab’s heart requires psychiatric analysis and a diagnosis of “hypnotically induced amnesia”.
“I can say that I do not regret his death as Kennedy the American politician who attempted to gain the presidential election by his aggressive propaganda against the Arab people of Palestine…Kennedy was promising the Zionists to supply them with arms and aircraft…and thus provoked the sensitive feelings of Sirhan who had suffered so much from the Jews…It is not fair to accuse my son without a full examination of Zionist atrocities against the Arabs – those atrocities which received the support and blessings of Robert Kennedy.”
-Bishara Sirhan, father of Sirhan Sirhan, the day after Kennedy was assassinated
As for Vaughn’s overarching theory of Arafat being financed by Onassis and another gun man or women, it is entirely possible.
How would both killers have known Robert Kennedy would be taking a shortcut through the kitchen? Sirhan seemed just lucky to me. Could two killers shared the same luck? Perhaps the second killer simply followed Kennedy into the kitchen, as Sirhan had.
On the core point: Arafat and Onasis? We like it. Worth thinking about.
The very picture of evil, Yasser Arafat.
Sirhan is currently serving a life sentence in California State Prison.

You know, that is so funny, because I believe I’m a good-looking, multi-billionaire with hotties knocking my front door down. Really.

To Robert Vaughn: While I do not fully agree with your conclusions about who was responsible for Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, I strongly feel you have a keen understanding of the facts of the case and I appreciate and respect your speaking out. It is an established fact that criminalist William Harper shared secret inside LAPD leaks with me and when I was finally able to get a copy of the SUS 10 volume Report – there was the proof of a giant cover-up. Thank you for your efforts in exposing this great shame.
