"This is written off the top of my head, some details may not be exact. Please add details as known. The assanation was completed by the Iranian Savak. The method was a camera that had four small gun barrels hidden within the lens. Sirhan was designated to asail Mr. Kennedy within the confines of the pantry area should Mr. Kennedy choose to exit through there. The confirmation for the hit was the presence of the photographer in the bright yellow sweater. Sirhan began to fire, was overcome as bullets sprayed about, and in doing so provided the diversion that allowed the photographer to close in and fire at point blank range with the gun/lens at the back of Mr. Kennedy's skull. The film will bear out the sequence of events, including the oddly close proximity the yellowed sweatered photographer maintained on Mr. Kennedy's flank. Additional details cannot be made available at this time, safe to say this was a failsafe operation that could have followed many paths to the same result. TT0007" |

== Other three major assassinations? == |
|
|
|
|
|
The introduction notes that RFK was "one of four major assassinations in the United States that occurred during the 1960s." While that sentence links to the entire decade of the 60s, a link that explains what the other three assassinations were (presumably MLK JFK and Malcolm X) would probably be appropriate. ] (]) 21:32, 2 March 2023 (UTC) |

:What is meant is in the article, but I wouldn't think that Malcolm X's assassination was more important than those of Medgar Evers and Lincoln Rockwell (who is listed at ] with the two Kennedys, while the others are not), as well as the killings of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, all of which are included in the more comprehensive ]. ] (]) 09:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC) |

== nonsense about hypnosis == |
|
|
|
|
|
''Herbert Spiegel, a Columbia University psychologist, said that Sirhan was probably induced via hypnosis into firing a gun in the direction of Kennedy without knowing what he was doing and without being able to recall either the events or the process of having been programmed. Spiegel suggested that he was in a state of hypnotically-induced amnesia during the time of his arrest as well as afterwards.'' |
