Who You Are, Nobody Knows

“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.
