    About this audiobook

    In A Lie Too Big to Fail, longtime Kennedy researcher (of both JFK and RFK) Lisa Pease lays out, in meticulous detail, how witnesses with evidence of conspiracy were silenced by the Los Angeles Police Department; how evidence was deliberately altered and, in some instances, destroyed; and how the justice system and the media failed to present the truth of the case to the public. Pease reveals how the trial was essentially a sham, and how the prosecution did not dare to follow where the evidence led.

    A Lie Too Big to Fail asserts the idea that a government can never investigate itself in a crime of this magnitude. Was the convicted Sirhan Sirhan a willing participant? Or was he a mind-controlled assassin? It has fallen to independent researchers like Pease to lay out the evidence in a clear and concise manner, allowing listeners to form their theories about this event. Pease places the history of this event in the context of the era and provides shocking overlaps between other high-profile murders and attempted murders of the time. Lisa Pease goes further than anyone else in proving who likely planned the assassination, who the assassination team members were, and why Kennedy was deemed such a threat that he had to be taken out before he became President of the United States.

      The content is 5 stars
      The narration is 5 stars
      The audio is perfect until a major glitch in the final chapter. Right as the author is about to wrap up the entire plot to kill RFK and summarize the body of evidence, the entire final chapter is inter-cut with the audio from another book. This is especially significant since the final chapter also references Kamala Harris' unwillingness to reopen the case in California, given that she is currently the Vice Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. I will now go research her role in maintaining the modern cover-up, but the corrupted audio in the final chapter was a horrible way to end the book, I hope another audiobook is produced with a fixed final chapter.

      The good news is that Lisa Pease has presented an incredible body of evidence ranging from forensic, to eyewitness testimony, to declassified documents, to make the case that Sirhan Sirhan was a patsy who fired NO shots at Kennedy that night. I was only familiar with the claim that Sirhan may have been hypnotized, and had no idea about the extensive forensic contradictions with the official story.

      Despite the audio problems in the final chapter, I highly recommend this book.
      I took up an interest in the RFK assassination primarily because of a Derren Brown documentary in which he attempted to recreate the hypnotic conditioning attributed to Sirhan by making a patsy "assassinate" Stephen Fry. That documentary is available on YouTube and is also referenced in this book.

      Although way too long, this book provides a good basis for understanding many failings of the US government and its propaganda networks (news networks, authors, journalists, etc). HOWEVER; the whitewashing of the Kennedy’s in a book self-promoting its historical importance is ABSURD. Read the family history- antisemitism, pro-Hitler, insider trading, ties to organized crime, lobotomy of a difficult child, political corruption, womanizing, etc. The Kennedy’s support of any war (WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam) was SOLELY based on business and political considerations.
