Martin Luther King

LSD was every where, I was young as I would graduate in 1978. But I do remember my dad talking all about it to my brothers. One going into the navy and one into the marines because of Vietnam. My dad was retired navy and doing civil service at fort Carson Army base. SO LSD was the up evil for my family from 1968 into the Gas wars, me thinking turning 16 and getting to drive would be great, oh yes just to wait in line for hour and hours to get gas for my parents to get to work.

We will discuss these events in our DEEP DIVE I will name “1968: America in Turmoil.”

Many of these events will intertwine with one another.

This year was very significant and as you will soon see, the events that occurred in 1968 may be very relevant to our current year of 2024.

This dive will be ongoing and will likely take a few weeks to unpack.

But we must start somewhere…

Let’s start with
ROBERT F KENNEDY.
“RFK”

I’ll mute notifications.

Robert Francis Kennedy
“RFK” was the younger brother of assassinated President,John F. Kennedy.


RFK served as The United States Attorney General from 1961–1964.

After President Kennedy became president, he brought in his brother Bobby Kennedy (RFK) as “Attorney General.”

RFK declared war on organized crime…especially the Italian mafia families in New York City, Chicago and New Orleans.

 

Remember we discussed the two “Lee Harvey Oswald’s?

You might be surprised to know that RFK assigned Lee Harvey Oswald to infiltrate the totally rogue operation involving the CIA/mafia/Cuban exiles!!!

The last thing the Kennedy brothers wanted was an unlawful assassination of another head of state…originally thought to be Fidel Castro, before it turned towards RFK’s own brother…JFK.
