About a month before June 5th of this year, which marks the 52nd anniversary of Bobby Kennedy’s tragic assassination, I bought Lisa Pease’s fantastic work. “A Lie Too Big To Fail” is an incredibly researched, brilliant piece of intrepid reporting and a massive contribution to the field of historiography. This is THE definitive work of the RFK assassination and it is no coincidence that Lisa Pease was the author to take on this monumental task. Lisa Pease has spent the better part of her life and career researching and writing on the assassinations of RFK, JFK, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Perhaps this astonishing result, is the culmination of her work on the RFK assassination and her advocacy for Sirhan Sirhan’s innocence. Had it not been for the archive of footnotes that Pease presents as evidence for her thesis, I would have finished the book earlier than the five days it took me to easily bulldoze through it. This is a fascinating, encyclopedic collection of evidence, facts, testimony and a visual recreation of the scene of the assassination, that displays her brilliant photographic memory and penchant for details that she illuminates.Among the shocking and horrific revelations in the trove of examples that Pease presents, is the factual conclusions that number one; the gun the LAPD presented at the trial for Sirhan did not match the gun they recovered from Sirhan from the scene of the assassination. Second, the bullets retrieved from specifically Robert Kennedy but also from the other victims, did not come from the gun that was recovered from Sirhan, nor were they matched during numerous ballistics tests. Third, evidence tampering, coercion of witnesses, changing statements, forging ballistic evidence that did not match Sirhan’s guilt, which would have exonerated him from the death of RFK, were just among a few highlights of the LAPD. Fourth, Thomas Nagucci’s autopsy, specifically proved that Sirhan was not the assassin who killed Kennedy, with the fatal shot coming less than one inch behind Kennedy’s right ear.Miss Pease is better versed and covers the ballistic evidence better than most lawyers can. She is the ultimate authority on the ballistics and forensic evidence at the scene of the RFK assassination. The results and conclusions reached by Miss Pease, are frightening, shocking and completely antithetical to a free and democratic society that we espouse to have and represent. The major highlights from the read are the various forms of evidence she introduces from the scene of the assassination. This included witness testimony, police logs and communication, analysis of video footage, photographs, trial transcripts, evidence logs, newspaper reports, internal CIA documents and important correspondence with Robert Matheu and other CIA assets. Miss Pease produces a cogent, logical explanation for Sirhan’s perceived “guilt” during the “kangaroo” trial of the century.The ‘fix was in’ from the beginning as they say and Pease produces unequivocal proof to back that claim. She covers the subsequent reinvestigations that were opened or called for in addition to the most recent and current information to date, on the progress of Sirhan’s appeals. She also covers a chapter on Sirhan’s background in conjunction with the now infamous CIA MK/Ultra mind control experiments. Which as Miss Pease points out, by the mid 1950’s, internal documents show the CIA already knew the goal of having a trained killer who could perform an assassination even if it was contrary to his beliefs, was not only possible, it was already a success.Again, this is a tremendous work and a great contribution to history. Only after looking at the evidence she presents, albeit thorough and meticulous, can the reader begin to understand the Why of the assassination. Pease provides the who, what, where and when, of the mysteries around the assassination. And unlike JFK’s assassination, the evidence in this case is far less convoluted and easier to assuredly disprove the official explanation of RFK’s death. This is a must read for every student of history and responsible citizen, who wants to understand and fathom the radical change in political power in the 1960’s that was achieved as a result of war, violence, assassination and conspiracy. These false narratives about the murders of the great icons of the 1960’s and 70’s are still being perpetuated and it is imperative that we as American citizens correct the record. Lisa Pease, undoubtedly, unequivocally proves that the lies and misinformation surrounding the assassination of RFK were perpetuated by the State because of the realization that indeed the “Lie Was To Big To Fail.”
