Surviving Capitalism (Not) : B.C.-based actress Nina Rhodes-Hughes speaks of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination (with video)

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

I haven't seen this report, or similar one, published anywhere in US media. I've always wondered why there has been so few challengers to the official stories published by mainstream media. It suggests to me that US security agencies and powerful political operatives were so well coordinated, organized, and confident that no one dared challenge them for fear of their lives. And, indeed, it was well known by then that many witnesses to Jack Kennedy's assassination lost their lives in a variety of mysterious ways. No doubt, many witness to Robert's assassination kept their mouths shut, and some like this witness, Nina Rhodes-Hughes, left the country.
