Ted Kennedy Dead - Taking Many Secrets To Grave With Him.

[Myra Bronstein]

Peter (etc.) The Matt Smith book to which you referred is called "Conspiracy: The Plot to Destroy the Kennedys". (ya I googled it, another book to get ).

I also read a thread on the other forum earlier and Kathy Collins had posted a theory re Chappaquiddick. This theory interested me as:
1. I came up with the same theory -that Ted and another woman went out and did not realize May Jo was even in the back seat AND

2. Years later I met a private detective who told me that he knew the truth behind Chappaquddick. I told him I had a thoery. He asked me my theory and I told him. He responded that this is exactly what had occurred. Of course that theory was only one of two theories. The other was fowl play. It's very sad that so little serious research has gone into this effort to destroy Ted Kennedy. Bob Cutler- self published manuscript and author Richard E. Sprague (The Taking Of America) are the only authors I was aware of to question the story Ted so badly told on tv shortly after the incident. And now Smith- Peter is his version based on that of Cutler and Sprague?

Smith did his own research. It is very good. Covers all but John Jr. very well and pieces them together into a vendetta against the Kennedy family. He was the only researcher to get Wayne January [Red Bird Airport, Oak Cliff] to tell his full story about planes/flights just before and on 11/22/63. I recommend it most highly. He wrote an earlier version with greated depth, but not some of the newer research. The three versions vary only slightly. I think Smith has the advantage of standing on the shoulders of others and very hard work on his own part.

Thanks for bringing up "Conspiracy: The Plot to Destroy the Kennedys" Dawn. I agree with you Peter; it's a good book. One of the few big picture books. Ok, that came out funny--I'm trying to say that it connects dots. I completely agree with Smith's take on Chappaquiddick. The Nixon tape "bear trap" quote pretty much clinches it for me, along with the context of the Chappaquiddick incident. John and Bobby had been terminated with extreme prejudice. No reason to believe the "power control group" would contribute to Teddy's presidential campaign.

Here's the other thing about Teddy that is hardly ever mentioned and should be mentioned to give more context to Chappaquiddick. He was almost killed in a plane crash in 1964:

Whenever I mention the plane crash to someone they're surprised. Almost no one, outside extremely interested types like us, knows about it. Maybe it will be mentioned in his obits and more people will become aware... Yeah, right. More likely his death will be a chance to reinforce propaganda.

I can't recall for sure. Did Smith talk about the plane crash in "Conspiracy: The Plot to Destroy the Kennedys"? Surely he did...
