John & Bobby Kennedy. Malcolm X, Dr Martin Luther King, Fred Hampton, to name just a few. Does anyone have any theories on this?

They were all trying to help america realize the full meaning of her creed. This is unacceptable to the forces of reaction.

The 60's were troubled times and we didn't have the security in place that we do now, or the technology. There was a lot of resistance to change concerning racial equality and other issues of the time such as Vietnam...fueled the fires so to speak.

Tension of fear, Cuba conflict, US in war with Vietnam, new changes within US, gang wars, colored people got more voice and rights. changes that everyone was afraid of, no one knew what's next to happen, what to expect. Kind of a hysteria at the end of the world. every one was scared for new depression crisis.

The cold war was going on. THEY tried to keep the citizens of the U.S.A. happy and stupid. But these people talked and acted upon problems that had to be confronted. So THEY took actions to shut them up.
Of course we don't know who THEY are.
But I guess THEY brought W junior into office, twice. And who knows, with so much hate, anger and stupidity going round (again) THEY will start killing again (not just overseas).....
