Robert, I did not say that because Leary said it it was a lie.
I actually did research on this, like I usually do.
As I have noted, I went to three libraries to find as many of Leary's books as he wrote in the interim. I think I found almost all of them. I may have missed like four of 25. I sat at a table and scanned them all. Surely, if it had happened in 1962, Leary would have written about it in the 23 year interim, especailly when he was churning out a book a year.
He did not. Not even in books that chronicled his life as a drug smuggler. So we are to beleive that this striking looking woman one day just appears in his office. She then hints around at why she wants the drug. Then after JFK is dead she hints around some more as to why they really killed him, due to his awakening through her and Leary and his move toward peace. And somehow, Leary did not think this was important??
What a crock.
Now, when he did write about it in Flashbacks, he absolutely insisted that it stay in, even though his editor asked him for evidence. Which he had none. Further, and this is the icing on the cake, in that same book, he said he spent a night with Marilyn Monroe! Again, there was no evidence for this.
The guy wanted to sell books and he knew that these kinds of things, MM and JFK and LSD would do it. And he also understood that in the Reagan years, the tide had turned. This kind of smearing of JFK's legacy was now acceptable--the rightwing had won. So he teamed up with Liddy and did these circus show debates on campuses nationwide.
Which tells you all you need to know about what happened to America. When I was in college, we had people like Kunstler and Jane Fonda on campus. In the Reagan era, it was these two clowns.
That tells you a lot about American history, and how it was now in to urinate on Kennedy's grave. After all Liddy's call numbers on his radio channel were WJFK.
