Reinvestigations ; Too many holes ; Suspicious others ; Mind games ; Mission: possible. 520 $a In A Lie Too Big to Fail, longtime Kennedy researcher (of both JFK and RFK) Lisa Pease lays out, in meticulous detail, how witnesses with evidence of conspiracy were silenced by the Los Angeles Police Department; how evidence was deliberately altered and, in some instances, destroyed; and how the justice system and the media failed to present the truth of the case to the public. Pease reveals how the trial was essentially a sham, and how the prosecution did not dare to follow where the evidence led. A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude. Was the convicted Sirhan Sirhan a willing participant? Or was he a mind-controlled assassin? It has fallen to independent researchers like Pease to lay out the evidence in a clear and concise manner, allowing readers to form their theories about this event. Pease places the history of this event in the context of the era and provides shocking overlaps between other high-profile murders and attempted murders of the time. Lisa Pease goes further than anyone else in proving who likely planned the assassination, who the assassination team members were, and why Kennedy was deemed such a threat that he had to be taken out before he became President of the United States. 600 10 $a Kennedy, Robert F., $d 1925-1968 $x Assassination. 600 17 $a Kennedy, Robert F., $d 1925-1968. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00052277 650 0 $a Assassination $x Investigation $z United States $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Politicians $z United States. 650 0 $a Political activists $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Political participation $z United States. 650 7 $a Assassination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818962 650 7 $a Assassination $x Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818964 650 7 $a Political activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069192 650 7 $a Political participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069386 650 7 $a Politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a DiEugenio, James, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013444.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0C871D740CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
