Eminyakeni engu-XNUMX edlule, u-Bobby Kennedy wayesezowina umongameli weDemocratic Alliance e-Indiana. Wayezolahlekelwa maduze e-Oregon futhi emasontweni ambalwa aphumelele eCalifornia, athole i-White House, futhi abulawe ngalobo busuku. I ifilimu I-RFK Kumele Ife kanye nencwadi Ubani owabulala uBobby? shiya ukungabaza okuncane ukuthi i-CIA yambulala. Futhi-ke akungabazeki ukuthi abaningi bebelokhu besola kakhulu, okube nomthelela omubi kwezepolitiki zase-US noma ngabe kuyiqiniso noma cha. Kodwa umthelela omkhulu wokubulawa kuka-RFK uhlukile embuzweni wokuthi ubani owambulala.
Ngenkathi ngizalwa ngoZibandlela (December) ka-1969, uRichard Nixon wayengumongameli, impi nokucwasa kwakudlondlobala, ukuboshwa kwabantu abaningi kanye nempi yezidakamizwa yayiqala ukuncipha ngokulingana kunokuba ilingane, iVietnam neLaos kanye neCambodia. zazizobhujiswa, inhlangano yabasebenzi yayisanda kuqala ukushwabana, amaphoyisa ayehlukunyezwa amasosha, amahlazo aseWatergate ayeseseduze. Umthetho nokuhleleka kwakuyisizathu esidumile, kuyilapho imikhankaso yabantu yokulwela ukuthula, intando yeningi, amalungelo abesifazane, imvelo, kanye namakhulu ezinye izinjongo ezinhle zase zizokhubeka, zingabonakali ngamandla afanayo kusukela ngalolo suku kuze kube manje.
Kulula kakhulu ukwenza kube lula kakhulu bese udiliza ukwenza lula ngokweqile. I-United States nezwe kwakungelona ipharadesi ngaphambi kokubulawa kwababili bakaKennedy, uMartin Luther King, noMalcolm X. Akukona konke okuye kwaba kubi kakhulu kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Ezinye izinto sezingcono kakhulu. Kodwa ezinye izitayela ezibaluleke kakhulu zashintsha zaba zimbi kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi. Ingcebo yaqala ukugxila ngendlela engakaze ibonwe. Ibutho lezempi laqala ukujwayeleka ngendlela engakaze ibonwe ngaphambili. Umkhuba, owaqhubeka ngisho no-Nixon njengomongameli, wezinhlangano ezithuthukayo zabantu abaningi ezithonya umthetho ngendawo ezungezile, ubumpofu, njll., zaqala ukuthathelwa indawo umthetho we-oligarchy. Imboni yamajele yadlondlobala. Amalungelo abasebenzi nawomphakathi antengantenga. Futhi isithembiso Somkhankaso Wabantu Abampofu sashiywa uhlelo lwezokuxhumana olwathi ngenxa yezizathu zamasiko nesakhiwo lwajwayela izwe elisha nelingenabuntu.
UBobby Kennedy wayengenabo onogada abahlomile ngoba wayephila esikhathini sangaphambi kokubulawa kukaBobby Kennedy, inkathi lapho osopolitiki babehlangana khona nabantu emigwaqweni babaxhawula, kanti nemithombo yezindaba yayihlanganisa amazwi abantu abampofu nabamele ukuthula nobulungisa. - hhayi ngendlela ethile ephusile, kodwa ngendlela engabonakali kwabezindaba zezinkampani zase-United States namuhla. Namuhla, uBobby Kennedy ubengeke adutshulwe ngumuntu ohlose ukumkhipha emandleni. Namuhla, imithetho yokuqala izokhohliswa noma amavoti “abalwe” ngokuhlukile, noma ividiyo ephazamisayo yezinsuku zokuzingela i-McCarthyite Commie yeRFK izosakazwa izikhathi ezingu-479,983,786 kumabonakude, noma ihlazo locansi lizoba yizindaba zosuku amasonto amathathu aqondile. Namuhla izinto zisingathwa ngezinye izindlela ngaphandle kokudubula omengameli nabazoba ngomengameli maduze, nakuba into enjalo isengenzeka. Kodwa uma kwenzeka, akukho nelilodwa izwi lokungabaza ngendaba esemthethweni yokubulawa, noma ngabe ikude kangakanani leyo ndaba esemthethweni, ebingavunyelwa emoyeni.
Kulula kakhulu ukucabanga ukuthi uBobby Kennedy wayengeke, njengomongameli, abe yikho konke ayebonakala eyikho. Wayengathembekile ngokuphelele nangokuphelele. Phela wayethi ukholwa yiKhomishini kaWarren ngasese futhi ecabanga ukuthi umfowabo ubulawe itulo elinamandla. Umlando wakhe kwezombangazwe wawungewona owezingelosi. Kodwa yisikhathi esedlule sika-Bobby Kennedy kanye nesithembiso sakhe esimenza abonakale kuze kube namuhla njengomuntu ofanelekayo wokuba umongameli wase-US, okungafani nomuntu ofanelekile. Kwakungeke kwenzeke ukuthi axoshwe njengongahlonishwa. Uke waba ngu-Attorney General kanye noSenator. Umfowabo wayekade engumongameli futhi wabulawa. Kodwa nokho uBobby wayeselethwe kancane kancane ukuba aqonde, akhathalele, futhi empeleni asebenzele amalungelo abampofu, abamnyama, amaLatinos, abasebenzi basemapulazini, kanye nokuthula. Kulezi zinsuku, akekho uSenator wase-US ongabanjwa eduze noCesar Chavez noma akhankasele isithembiso sokuqeda impi, futhi akekho umuntu ozongenela ukhetho noma osho izinto ezinjalo ezizovunyelwa ezingxoxweni noma kumabonakude.
Uma umuntu osekhulile osakhumbula izingxenye ezithile zeminyaka yawo-1960 wayezongenela ukhetho lokuba ngumongameli wase-US kwelinye lamaqembu amabili amakhulu namuhla, angamphikisa ama-primaries, aqhube umgqugquzeli wezempi, bese asole ukulahlekelwa kwakhe . . . yilinde . . . I-Russia, ithuthukisa iMpi Yomshoshaphansi entsha. Uma izimpiko zovemvane zingashintsha umbuso wesikhathi esizayo, khona-ke ngokuqinisekile umhlangano weDemokhrasi ka-1968 owawuwumkhosi wokuthula, ubulungisa, nozwelo, esikhundleni sesiyaluyalu samaphoyisa esenzeka ngempela, ngabe usinikeze umhlaba ongenazo izinhlobo zomongameli. amakhandidethi abebusa ukuphila kwami konke.
Yebo kunenkinga yezombangazwe kanye neyomlando ekunikezeni amandla amakhulu kumuntu oyedwa. Kodwa inkinga yezombangazwe inciphisa eyomlando. I-United States empeleni, futhi okubi kakhulu, inikeze amandla obukhosi komongameli, futhi leyo nqubo yayiqhubeka ngesikhathi uNixon ethatha isihlalo sobukhosi. Ukube u-RFK wayengumongameli, wayezobhekana nobutha bophiko olufanele, i-CIA, i-mafia, njll., noma ngabe ukholelwa ukuthi amandla anjalo angabulala noma ubani. Kodwa ingxenye yomqondo weziqu zakhe eziyingqayizivele ihlanganisa nombono wokuthi ngabe ukuphenye kahle ukubulawa komfowabo noMartin Luther King, kanye nezinye izenzo zobugebengu, ukuthi ngabe wayiqeda noma wayiqeda i-CIA, njengoba wayekade enekhala eliqinile. U-Attorney General ubengeke anqamule izivumelwano kulandela imizamo yokuketula umbuso ngendlela kaFranklin Roosevelt, kodwa ubezosungula ngokuphephile uhlobo oluthile lukahulumeni omele obala, nokuthi ubushoshovu bokubugcina buzoqhubeka futhi buchume.
Ngidweba isimo esihle kakhulu esingaba khona, kunjalo, kodwa noma iluphi uphenyo olunzulu lokubulala okukodwa noma okubili kuka-Kennedy bekungasiza ukubuyisela ukuzethemba nokubamba iqhaza kuhulumeni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bathole ini. Inkulumo ethi "ithiyori yozungu" kungenzeka ukuthi ayizange ibambe iqhaza njengendlela yokulahla yonke imibono engamukelekile, kusukela kokungajwayelekile kakhulu kuya kweyingenzeka kakhulu. Umthelela wemfihlo esobala yokuthi ngubani owabulala abakwaKennedy ube mubi kakhulu kunobufakazi noma ngokumelene namatulo okubulala. UMengameli u-Obama wayengeyena umongameli wokuqala waseMelika ukuphawula ephindelela, ngokusho kwemithombo ethembekile, ukuthi wayezoyeka imigomo ehloniphekile yomphakathi ukuze angaqedi omunye uKennedy. Ngesikhathi ngisebenzela uDennis Kucinich njengomongameli ngezwa kubantu abaningi ababekholelwa ukuthi uma eke waba phambili okhethweni uzobulawa. Ngakho-ke, umthelela wokubulawa kuka-RFK ngokusobala uye wandiswa ukuqonda okusabalele kokuthi kungani abulawa.
Ezinye izinguquko emlandweni zingafakwa ohlwini ngezigidi, kunjalo. Kuthiwani uma uGeorge W. Bush ebekwe icala futhi wasuswa esikhundleni ngenxa yamacala akhe amakhulu, kuhlanganise nezimpi? Ingabe zona lezi zimpi zaziyoqhubeka? Ingabe izigebengu eziphezulu zingaba kumabonakude ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi ziqokwe ezikhundleni zekhabhinethi? Kuthiwani uma ukuvinjelwa komongameli bobugebengu okubekwa icala bekungasuswa namuhla? Kuthiwani uma inhlangano ethandwayo ibingasukuma ihlehlise izakhiwo zamandla ombuso futhi ibeke amandla okubusa ngaphansi kokulawulwa umphakathi? Kuthiwani uma umkhankaso omusha wabampofu ungaphumelela? Kuthiwani uma inhlangano yokuthula eyandayo emhlabeni wonke ibingathola amandla okumisa impi? Konke okusho ukuthi: akukephuzi kakhulu ukuthatha izikhombisi-ndlela ezingcono kunalezo ezilele ngaphambili. Ukuqonda ukubaluleka kokwenza lokho, nokho, kungase kusizwa ukuqonda kangcono ukuthi yini esekwephuze kakhulu, lokho okwadluliswa, okwaku - cishe ngokuqinisekile - kwebiwe kithi yidlanzana lababulali be-CIA ababezibona belungile ababecabanga ukuthi ukuthi babazi kangcono.
