#029: Sirhan Sirhan - The Manchurian Candidate
In this episode, we examine the theory that Sirhan Sirhan, the convicted assassin of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, may have been a real-life Manchurian Candidate. We explore the CIA’s documented behavioral control programs, including Project ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA, alongside Sirhan’s unusual susceptibility to hypnosis, claimed memory loss, repetitive writings, and the controversial theory that hypnotist William Joseph Bryan may have played a role. We also examine RFK’s autopsy findings, disputed ballistic and acoustic evidence, the mysterious woman in the polka-dot dress, and the possibility of a second shooter. The episode separates documented history from speculation while asking a central question, where does the evidence end, and where does the Manchurian Candidate theory begin?
