Zaka makumi asanu zapitazo, Bobby Kennedy adatsala pang'ono kupambana ndi Democratic Presidential primaire ku Indiana. Adzatayika posachedwa ku Oregon ndipo masabata angapo adzagonjetsedwa ku California, pokhapokha atafika ku White House, ndikuphedwa usiku womwewo. The filimu RFK Ayenera Kufa ndipo bukhu Ndani Anapha Bobby? asiye kukayika pang'ono kuti CIA inamupha iye. Ndipo ndithudi palibe kukayikira kuti ambiri akhala akudandaula kwambiri, zomwe zawononga kwambiri ndale za US kaya ziri zoona. Koma vuto lalikulu la kupha RFK ndi losiyana ndi funso la yemwe anamupha.
Nditabadwira mu December wa 1969, Richard Nixon anali purezidenti, milandu ndi kusankhana mitundu zinkawonjezeka, kutsekera mndende komanso nkhondo zogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo, chuma chinayamba kukhala chosiyana kwambiri, Vietnam ndi Laos ndi Cambodia anali atagonjetsedwa, gulu la anthu ogwira ntchito linali litangoyamba kutha, apolisi anali kumenyana ndi asilikali, ndipo madzi a Watergate anali pafupi kwambiri. Lamulo ndi dongosolo linali chokondweretsedwa, pamene kuyenda kwa anthu mtendere, demokarase, ufulu wa amayi, chilengedwe, ndi mazana a zolinga zina zabwino zinali pafupi kukhumudwa, zosawonekeratu ndi mphamvu yomweyo kuyambira tsiku lomwelo kufikira izi.
Ndi zophweka kwambiri kuwonjezereka ndikuthetseratu kuwonjezereka. United States ndi dziko silinali paradiso pamaso pa kuphedwa kwa Kennedys awiri, Martin Luther King, ndi Malcolm X. Sizinali zonse zomwe zaipira kuyambira pamenepo. Zinthu zina zasintha bwino kwambiri. Koma zizoloŵezi zina zofunikira kwambiri zinasinthidwa chifukwa choipa kwambiri mu nthawi imeneyo. Chuma chinayamba kuganizira kwambiri momwe sitinawonerepo kale. Chigwirizano cha nkhondo chinayamba kuwerengedwa mwanjira yomwe sitinawonepo kale. Mchitidwewu, womwe unapitilira ngakhale ndi President wa Nixon, wazinthu zopitilirapo zowonjezereka zomwe zimakhudza malamulo pa chilengedwe, umphawi, ndi zina zotero, zinayamba kusinthidwa ndi malamulo, ndi, ndi oligarchy. Makampani ogwidwa m'ndende anawombera. Ntchito ndi ufulu wandale zinagwedezeka. Ndipo lonjezo la Anthu Osauka linasiyidwa ndi njira zoyankhulirana kuti zokhudzana ndi chikhalidwe ndi ziphunzitso zinadzipangira okha kudziko latsopano ndi laling'ono.
Bobby Kennedy analibe asilikali omenyera nkhondo chifukwa adakhalapo nthawi imene Bobby Kennedy akuphedwa, nthawi imene anthu amaloledwetsa anthu m'misewu ndikugwedeza manja awo, ndipo ma TV ndi ophatikizapo mawu a anthu osauka komanso omenyera mtendere ndi chilungamo - osati mwa njira yabwino yokhayokha, koma mwa njira yosawoneka m'magulu a makampani a United States lero. Lero, Bobby Kennedy sakanati awomberedwe ndi wina yemwe akufuna kumuchotsa ku mphamvu. Masiku ano, malamulo a oyambirira adzagwedezeka kapena mavoti "amawerengedwa" mosiyana, kapena kanema ina yoopsya yochokera ku RFK ya McCarthyite Commie-hunting masiku idzawotchedwa nthawi 479,983,786 pa televizioni, kapena chiwonongeko cha kugonana chikanati chidzakhale nkhani ya tsikulo masabata atatu owongoka. Masiku ano zinthu zimagwiridwa ndi njira zina kuposa kuzungulira apurezidenti ndi posachedwa kukhala apurezidenti, ngakhale kuti chinthu choterocho chikanakhoza kuchitikabe. Koma ngati izo zidachitika, palibe mawu amodzi okayikira za nkhani ya chigamulocho, ngakhale kuti nkhaniyi ingakhale yotani, idzaloleredwa pamlengalenga.
Ndi kosavuta kunena kuti Bobby Kennedy sakanati, monga purezidenti, akhala ali yense yemwe anawoneka kuti ali. Iye sanali wodalirika ndi woona mtima moona. Iye anali, atanena poyera kuti amakhulupirira Komiti ya Warren ndipo podziwa kuti mbale wake anali ataphedwa ndi chiwembu cholimba. Mbiri yake mu ndale sanali angelo. Koma ndizopita Bobby Kennedy ndi lonjezo lake lomwe limamupangitsa kuti adziwonetsebe mpaka lero ndi woyimira bwino wa pulezidenti wa US, yemwe sali wofanana ndi munthu weniweni. Iye sakanakhoza kuwonedwa ngati wopanda ulemu. Iye anali Woweruza Wamkulu ndi Senator. Mchimwene wake anali pulezidenti ndipo anaphedwa. Ndipo komabe Bobby anali ataphunzitsidwa pang'onopang'ono, kusamala za, ndipo makamaka amagwira ntchito za ufulu wa osawuka, wakuda, wa Latinos, ogwira ntchito zaulimi, ndi mtendere. Masiku ano, palibe Senator wa ku United States angagwidwe pafupi ndi Cesar Chavez kapena pulojekiti yothetsa nkhondo, ndipo palibe amene anganene kuti zinthu zoterezi zidzaloledwa pamakangano kapena pa TV.
Ngati wachikulire yemwe akukumbukirabe zigawo zina za 1960s adayenera kuthamanga kwa pulezidenti waku US ku umodzi wa maphwando akuluakulu lero, iwo amatha kukwaniritsa zoyenera kutsutsana naye, kuyendetsa nkhondo yothandizira, ndikuwongolera kutaya kwake. . . dikirani. . . Russia, kuwonjezera nkhondo yatsopano ya Cold. Ngati mapiko a gulugufe angasinthe ufumu wamtsogolo, ndiye kuti msonkhano wa 1968 Democracy umene unali chikondwerero cha mtendere, chilungamo, ndi chifundo, mmalo mwa chipwirikiti cha apolisi chimene chinachitika kwenikweni, chikanatipatsa dziko lopanda mtundu wa pulezidenti Omwe akhala akulamulira moyo wanga wonse.
N'zoona kuti pali vuto la ndale komanso la mbiri yakale pokhala ndi mphamvu zazikuru kwa anthu osakwatira. Koma vuto la ndale limachepetsa mbiri yakale. Dziko la United States lilidi, ndipo likuipiraipira, limapatsidwa mphamvu zachifumu kwa azidindo, ndipo ndondomekoyi ikuyenda bwino ndi nthawi imene Nixon anatenga ulamuliro. Ali ndi Pulezidenti wa RFK, akadakhala akudana ndi phiko labwino, CIA, mafia, ndi zina zotero. Koma mbali ya lingaliro lodziwika bwino lomwe likuphatikizirapo ndi lingaliro lakuti akanapenda mosamala za kuphedwa kwa mbale wake ndi Martin Luther King, ndi zochitika zina zopanda chilungamo, kuti akachotseratu kapena kusokoneza CIA, monga momwe zinalili zovuta kale Attorney General sakanatha kuchotsa ntchito zotsutsana ndi momwe Franklin Roosevelt amachitira, komabe akanakhazikitsidwa mwachindunji mtundu wina wa boma loyimira bwino, komanso kuti ntchitoyi idzapitirirabe.
Ine ndikujambula zochitika zenizeni, ndithudi, koma kufufuza kwakukulu kwa kupha mmodzi kapena awiri ku Kennedy ndithudi kwathandizira kubwezeretsa chidaliro ndi kutenga mbali mu boma, mosasamala kanthu zomwe iwo apeza. Mawu akuti "chiwembu cha chiwembu" sangakhale atagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati njira yotsutsira malingaliro onse osavomerezeka, kuchokera kumwambamwamba kwambiri mpaka moyenera kwambiri. Zotsatira za chinsinsi chobisika cha yemwe anapha Kennedys chakhala choipitsitsa kusiyana ndi umboni wotsutsa kapena kupha ziwembu. Purezidenti Obama sanali wotsogolera woyamba wa US kuyankha mobwerezabwereza, malinga ndi zomwe zanenedwa kuti ndizovomerezeka, kuti adzalandira ndondomeko zabwino za boma kuti asawononge Kennedy wina. Pamene ndimagwira ntchito ya Pulezidenti Dennis Kucinich, ndithudi ndinamva kuchokera kwa anthu ambiri omwe amakhulupirira kuti ngati apitilizabe kuchitapo kanthu akaphedwa. Choncho, zotsatira za kuphedwa kwa RFK zakhala zovuta kwambiri chifukwa cha kufalikira kwapadera kwa chifukwa chake anaphedwa.
Zina zowonetsa m'mbiri zingathe kulembedwa ndi mamiliyoni, ndithudi. Bwanji ngati George W. Bush atapachikidwa ndikuchotsedwa ntchito chifukwa cha zolakwa zake zazikulu, kuphatikizapo nkhondo? Kodi nkhondo zomwezo zikanathabe kuyenda? Kodi olakwa apamwamba angakhale pa TV nthawi zonse ndikusankhidwa pa maudindo a kabati? Bwanji ngati kuletsedwa kwa apolisi ophwanya malamulo akuchotsedwa lero? Nanga bwanji ngati gulu lodziwika bwino liyenera kudzuka kuti liwononge mphamvu za mfumu ndi malo olamulira pomalamulira? Nanga bwanji ngati Pulogalamu ya Anthu Osaukayo ikanatha? Bwanji ngati mgwirizano wadziko lonse wamtendere ukanatha kupeza mphamvu zothetsa nkhondo? Zonsezi ndizoti: sikuchedwa kwambiri kutenga njira zabwino kuposa zomwe zakhala zikufa kale. Kumvetsetsa kufunikira kochita, komabe, kungathandizidwe ndi kumvetsetsa bwino zomwe ziri mochedwa kwambiri, zomwe zidapitsidwira, zomwe - zedi-zabedwa kuchokera kwa ife ndi anthu ochepa omwe amadzilungamitsa CIA wakupha kuti amadziwa bwino.
