| This is Part 5 in a series of articles written by me, Mike Sylwester, based on a new book, Nemesis, written by Peter Evans. This posting is based also on the book American Assassins, by James Clarke, and on The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy: The Conspiracy and Coverup, by William Turner and Jonn Christian. (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) Sirhan Shirhan was born in 1944 in Jerusalem, one of seven children. His father worked for the city water department. The family fled their home in 1948 and lived in a refugee camp in Jordan until the end of 1956, when they emigrated to Pasadena, California. Within a year the father returned to Jordan. Sirhan Sirhan graduated from high school in 1963. He then enrolled in a local college but failed to attend classes and dropped out within a few months. He worked in a series of odd jobs. In late 1965 he got a job at the Santa Anita horse-racing track. He decided to become a jockey. In the summer of 1966 he began working as an exercise boy at a horse ranch in Corona. In September he fell off a horse and injured his head. He subsequently complained of head pains and blurred vision. He continued to work at the ranch but in July 1967 he filed a workers compensation claim and quit that job and went to work for a health-food store in Pasadena. He eventually received a couple thousand dollars from his claim in February 1968 and then quit his health-food job in March 1968. Back while he worked at the Corona ranch, he became interested in mind control. He thought that mind-control techniques might help him to achieve his personal and political goals. After his head injury, he also employed the techniques to try to alleviate the pain from his injuries. His mind-control exercises includes self-hypnosis and "automatic writing" in a notebook while in self-induced trances. His "automatic writing" on January 31, 1968, includes the statements: "Robert Kennedy is going to die" and "Who killed Kennedy? I don't know I don't know I don't know." At that time, Robert Kennedy was a US Senator representing the state of New York, not yet a candidate to become President. (David Karr arranged a meeting between Mahmoud Hamshari and Aristotle Onassis in January 1968.) |
