Who You Are, Nobody Knows
[Originally published March 7, 2019]
“America has a deep and dark history of people using
the power of the prosecutor as an instrument of injustice,” writes Democratic
presidential contender Kamala Harris in her recently published memoir The Truths We Hold: An American Journey.
The former California attorney general and current U.S. senator continues:
I knew this history well
– of innocent men framed, of charges brought against people of color without
sufficient evidence, of prosecutors hiding information that would exonerate
defendants, of the disproportionate application of the law. I grew up with
these stories […] But history told another story, too.
I knew the history of
brave prosecutors […] I knew the legacy of Robert Kennedy, who, as U.S. attorney
general, sent Department of Justice officials to protect the Freedom Riders in
1961, and sent the U.S. Marshals to protect James Meredith when he enrolled at
Ole Miss the next year. [1]
Kennedy, for staunch Zionist Harris, was “brave” for
his participation in the process of eroding European-American hegemony in the
United States – not for the efforts
of the Kennedy Department of Justice to require Israel’s lobbyists to register
as foreign agents [2].
Harris again invokes the memory of Robert Kennedy in
the context of the high-profile assassinations of 1968 – previously discussed
here. “The nation’s clearest voices and strongest leaders in the fight
for economic justice had been suddenly, irrevocably silenced” with the King and
Kennedy murders, she unconvincingly laments [3].
The irony of Harris’s references to RFK and to
“innocent men framed, of charges brought against people of color without
sufficient evidence, of prosecutors hiding information that would exonerate
defendants,” is that she played her own role in the ongoing cover-up of the
truth about the RFK assassination in her capacity as enforcer for the deep
state. S.T. Patrick recounts the episode in the current issue of American Free Press:
As the California
attorney general sat across the room from accused assassin Sirhan Sirhan, she
already knew her decision was final. As long as she was California’s top law
enforcement officer, Sirhan would spend the remainder of his life in prison, no
matter what new evidence eye-witnesses, forensic experts, and researchers
brought to the table. The year was 2012 and Sirhan’s attorneys were once again
making the case that Sen. Robert F. Kennedy had been killed by a second gunman,
and Sirhan had been set up as a patsy by an offshoot of the CIA’s MK-Ultra
program. Attorney General Kamala Harris responded in court filings soon
thereafter.
“In sum, [Sirhan] cannot
possibly show that no reasonable juror would have convicted him if a jury had
considered his ‘new’ evidence and allegations, in light of the overwhelming
evidence supporting the convictions and the available evidence thoroughly
debunking [Sirhan’s] second-shooter and automation theories,” said Attorney
General Harris in a federal court filing.
Harris called Phillip Van
Praag’s acoustic evidence “pure speculation” and said that even if there were a
second shooter, Sirhan could still not prove his own innocence in the case.
“As she is attempting to ride the wave of youthful,
progressive Democrats with big ideas and bigger personalities,” Patrick adds,
“even some Democrats are wondering who Harris really is in the grand scheme of
the party.” [4] Who is Kamala Harris? As her childhood work for the Jewish
National Fund [5], her tenure as California’s attorney general, and her
multiple appearances at AIPAC conferences in recent years demonstrate, she is
one of Israel’s most reliable assets within the Democratic Party.
Indeed, America does have a “deep and dark history” of
injustice – and Harris, as she boasts in her book, knows this history well. Whatever truths she holds, however, she is
holding close to her chest.
