Ted Kennedy Dead - Taking Many Secrets To Grave With Him.
#1
Last Modified: 8/26/2009 12:40 AM

Sen. Ted Kennedy died shortly before midnight Tuesday at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass.

Kennedy, a liberal Democrat from Massachusetts, had battled brain cancer for more than a year. He was 77.

More thoughts soon. This broke just within the hour. My favorite book on the War against the Kennedys is Matt Smith's Conspiracy - The Plot To Stop The Kennedy's

The Control of the Kennedys [Chapter 7, The Taking Of America 1,2,3....]
Threats & Chappaquiddick

Through the years the most common question of all has been: "If there was a conspiracy in the JFK assassination, why didn't Robert Kennedy find out about it and take some action? And if there was a conspiracy in the RFK assassination why haven't Ted Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy done something about it?" No one except the Kennedys know the answers to these questions for sure. However, there are plenty of clues and some other Power Control Group actions to provide the answers to us.
First of all, thanks to Jackie Kennedy Onassis' butler in Athens, Greece, Christain Cafarakis, we know why Jackie did nothing after her husband's death. In a book published in 1972, Cafarakis tells about an investigation Jackie had conducted by a famous New York City detective agency into the assassination of JFK in 1964 and 1965.[1] It was financed by Aristotle Onassis and resulted in a report in the spring of 1965 telling who the four gunmen were and who was behind them. Jackie planned to give the report to LBJ but was stopped by a threat from the Power Control Group to kill her and her children. Ted, Bobby and other family members knew about the report and the threat.
The second clue is Chappaquiddick. A careful examination of the real evidence in this event shows that Ted Kennedy was framed in the killing of Mary Joe Kopechne and then his life and his children's lives threatened if he ever told the truth about what happened. The facts in the case and the conclusions that can be drawn from them are contained in a book by Boston researcher Robert Cutler.[2]
The third clue is Ted's withdrawal from the presidential race in November 1975. It is a fact that all of his and Robert's children were being protected by the Secret Service for five days in November 1975. A threat had been made against the children's lives unless he officially announced his withdrawal. He made the announcement and has stuck to it ever since. The Secret Service protection ended the day after he made the announcement.
It does not seem likely that Senator Kennedy would withdraw from the race because of a threat from a lone nut or from some obscure group. He remembers the 1965 threat and Chappaquiddick very well. He knows about the Power Control Group and he knows their enormous capability. He knows what they did to his brothers. He has no choice but to hope that somehow, sometime, the Group will be exposed. But he dares not let them believe he would ever have anything to do with it. Publicly he will always have to support the Warren Commission and continue to state that he will not run for president. Privately he is forced to ask his closest friends and his relatives not to get involved with new investigations, and to help protect his children. Some of them know the truth. Others do not, and are puzzled by his behavior. They go along with it under the assumption that he has good and sufficient reasons not to open the can of worms represented by the conspiracies in his brother's deaths.
The Power Control Group faced up to the Ted Kennedy and Kennedy family problem very early. They used the threat against the Kennedy children's lives very effectively between 1963 and 1968 to silence Bobby and the rest of the family and friends who knew the truth. It was necessary to assassinate Bobby in 1968 because with the power of the presidency he could have prevented the Group from harming the children. When Teddy began making moves to run for president in 1969 for the 1972 election, the Group decided to put some real action behind their threats. Killing Teddy in 1969 would have been too much. They selected a new way of eliminating him as a candidate. They framed him with the death of a young girl, and threw sexual overtones in for good measure.
Here is what happened according to Cutler's analysis of the evidence. The Group hired several men and at least one woman to be at Chappaquiddick during the weekend of the yacht race and the planned party on the island. They ambushed Ted and Mary Jo after they left the cottage and knocked Ted out with blows to his head and body. They took the unconscious or semi-conscious Kennedy to Martha's Vineyard and deposited him in his hotel room. Another group took Mary Jo to the bridge in Ted's car, force fed her with a knock out potion of alcoholic beverage, placed her in the back seat, and caused the car to accelerate off the side of the bridge into the water. They broke the windows on one side of the car to insure the entry of water; then they watched the car until they were sure Mary Jo would not escape.
Mary Jo actually regained consciousness and pushed her way to the top of the car (which was actually the bottom of the car -- it had landed on its roof) and died from asphyxiation. The group with Teddy revived him early in the morning and let him know he had a problem. Possibly they told him that Mary Jo had been kidnapped. They told him his children would be killed if he told anyone what had happened and that he would hear from them. On Chappaquiddick, the other group made contact with Markham and Gargan, Ted's cousin and lawyer. They told both men that Mary Jo was at the bottom of the river and that Ted would have to make up a story about it, not revealing the existence of the group. One of the men resembled Ted and his voice sounded something like Ted's. Markham and Gargan were instructed to go the the Vineyard on the morning ferry, tell Ted where Mary Jo was, and come back to the island to wait for a phone call at a pay station near the ferry on the Chappaquiddick side.
The two men did as they were told and Ted found out what had happened to Mary Jo that morning. The three men returned to the pay phone and received their instructions to concoct a story about the "accident" and to report it to the police. The threat against Ted's children was repeated at that time.
Ted, Markham and Gargan went right away to police chief Arena's office on the Vineyard where Ted reported the so-called "accident." Almost at the same time scuba diver John Farror was pulling Mary Jo out of the water, since two boys who had gone fishing earlier that morning had spotted the car and reported it.
Ted called together a small coterie of friends and advisors including family lawyer Burke Marshall, Robert MacNamara, Ted Sorenson, and others. They met on Squaw Island near the Kennedy compound at Hyannisport for three days. At the end of that time they had manufactured the story which Ted told on TV, and later at the inquest. Bob Cutler calls the story, "the shroud." Even the most cursory examination of the story shows it was full of holes and an impossible explanation of what happened. Ted's claim that he made the wrong turn down the dirt road toward the bridge by mistake is an obvious lie. His claim that he swam the channel back to Martha's Vineyard is not believable. His description of how he got out of the car under water and then dove down to try to rescue Mary Jo is impossible. Markham and Gargan's claims that they kept diving after Mary Jo are also unbelievable.
The evidence for the Cutler scenario is substantial. It begins with the marks on the bridge and the position of the car in the water. The marks show that the car was standing still on the bridge and then accelerated off the edge, moving at a much higher speed than Kennedy claimed. The distance the car travelled in the air also confirms this. The damage to the car on two sides and on top plus the damage to the windshield and the rear view mirror stanchion [3] prove that some of the damage had to have been inflicted before the car left the bridge.
The blood on the back and on the sleeves of Mary Jo's blouse proves that a wound was inflicted before she left the bridge.[4] The alcohol in her bloodstream proves she was drugged, since all witnesses testified she never drank and did not drink that night. The fact that she was in the back seat when her body was recovered indicates that is where she was when the car hit the water. There was no way she could have dived downward against the inrushing water and moved from the front to the back seat underneath the upside-down seat back.
The wounds on the back of Ted Kennedy's skull, those just above his ear and the large bump on the top indicate he was knocked out. His actions at the hotel the next morning show he was not aware of Mary Jo's death until Markham and Gargan arrived. The trip to the pay phone on Chappaquiddick can only be explained by his receiving a call there, not making one. There were plenty of pay phones in or near Ted's hotel if he needed to make a private call. The tides in the channel and the direction in which Ted claimed he swam do not match. In addition it would have been a superhuman feat to have made it across the channel (as proven by several professionals who subsequently tried it).
Deputy Sheriff Christopher Look's testimony, coupled with the testimony of Ray LaRosa and two Lyons girls, proves that there were two people in Ted's car with Mary Jo at 12:45 PM. The three party members walking along the road south toward the cottage confirmed the time that Mr. Look drove by. He stopped to ask if they needed a ride. Look says that just prior to that he encountered Ted's car parked facing north at the juncture of the main road and the dirt road. It was on a short extension of the north-south section of the road junction to the north of the "T". He says he saw a man driving, a woman in the seat beside him, and what he thought was another woman lying on the back seat. He remembered a portion of the license plate which matched Ted's car, as did the description of the car. Markham, Gargan and Ted's driver's testimony show that someone they talked to in the pitch black night sounded like Ted and was about his height and build.
None of the above evidence was ever explained by Ted or by anyone else at the inquest or at the hearing on the case demanded by district attorney Edward Dinis. No autopsy was ever allowed on Mary Jo's body (her family objected), and Ted made it possible to fly her body home for burial rather quickly. Kennedy haters have seized upon Chappaquiddick to enlarge the sexual image now being promoted of both Ted and Jack Kennedy. Books like "Teddy Bare" take full advantage of the situation.
Just which operatives in the Power Control Group at the high levels or the lower levels were on Chappaquiddick Island? No definite evidence has surfaced as yet, except for an indication that there was at least one woman and at least three men, one of whom resembled Ted Kennedy and who sounded like him in the darkness. However, two pieces of testimony in the Watergate hearings provide significant clues as to which of the known JFK case conspirators may have been there.
E. Howard Hunt told of a strange trip to Hyannisport to see a local citizen there about the Chappaquiddick incident. Hunt's cover story on this trip was that he was digging up dirt on Ted Kennedy for use in the 1972 campaign. The story does not make much sense if one questions why Hunt would have to wear a disguise, including his famous red wig, and to use a voice-alteration device to make himself sound like someone else. If, on the other hand, Hunt's purpose was to return to the scene of his crime just to make sure that no one who might have seen his group at the bridge or elsewhere would talk, then the disguise and the voice box make sense.
The other important testimony came from Tony Ulasewicz who said he was ordered by the Plumbers to fly immediately to Chappaquiddick and dig up dirt on Ted. The only problem Tony has is that, according to his testimony, he arrived early on the morning of the "accident", before the whole incident had been made public. Ulasewicz is the right height and weight to resemble Kennedy and with a CIA voice-alteration device he presumably could be made to sound like him. There is a distinct possibility that Hunt and Tony were there when it happened.
The threats by the Power Control Group, the frame-up at Chappaquiddick, and the murders of Jack and Bobby Kennedy cannot have failed to take their toll on all of the Kennedys. Rose, Ted, Jackie, Ethel and the other close family members must be very tired of it all by now. They can certainly not be blamed for hoping it will all go away. Investigations like those proposed by Henry Gonzalez and Thomas Downing only raised the spectre of the powerful Control Group taking revenge by kidnapping some of the seventeen children.
It was no wonder that a close Kennedy friend and ally in California, Representative Burton, said that he would oppose the Downing and Gonzalez resolutions unless Ted Kennedy put his stamp of approval on them. While the sympathies of every decent American go out to them, the future of our country and the freedom of the people to control their own destiny through the election process mean more than the lives of all the Kennedys put together. If John Kennedy were alive today he would probably make the same statement.
John Dean summed it up when he said to Richard Nixon as recorded on the White House tapes in 1973: "If Teddy knew the bear trap he was walking into at Chappaquiddick. . . ."[5]

A rope attached to the stick which held the Oldsmobile throttle wide open caught the drivers rear view mirror and tore it loose so that it was hanging by the rear bolt. There was no other mark on the left side of the car.

A sliver of glass from two broken windows no doubt caused this bleeding since Mary Jo was already face down and unconscious in the rear seat. Since there was no autopsy this clean cut went unnoticed by the embalmers.

- We've lost one of the more 'progressive' [in relative American terms] Senators - and much needed for the Health Care debate and sometimes call the intelligence community to task.

- He certainly knew many details of the deaths of his brothers - though he chose not to discuss it ever. I wonder if in his will there are any provisions for this information to be released?

- The continuing war against the Kennedys will now turn to the younger survivors, sadly.

- Maybe this will bring up a review of the 'Official Version' of Chappaquiddick. Any study of which shows he was cleverly framed by Nixon and Intelligence goons. Yes, even though framed, he handled it badly.

- I'm a bit saddened by the event, but given his brain tumor it was only a matter of time. I lost much of my respect for him over the years for refusing to have the murders by conspiracy of his brother's investigated - publicly or privately. He was made aware of the investigation Jackie had done, but never commented - only mumbled that he believed the FALSE official versions of both deaths. He knew they were false 100%. Chappaquiddick was to keep him silent and make a run for President impossible, but there are times to speak the Truth, no matter what the personal costs - and with his great wealth he could have done much by funding silently those of us who worked on his brothers' deaths. The one letter I got from him regarding the JFK Assassination was pro forma, cold and of not help.

- The passing of a generation. That of the Kennedys and of mine.

Peter, thank you for posting the Chappaquiddick portion from The taking of America. (The entire book is online btw). Over the next few days there will be a lot of talk about that murder and Ted's complicity, when in fact it was to force his silence about JFK and RFK. How can you have lost respect when you know what these pricks were capable of? Yes, he took a lot of secrets to his grave, including the truth about the murder of his nephew. Ted Kennedy had to bear far more than one human should ever endure, suffer in silence with only booze as solace, until he ultimately overcame that burdon as well. He died a true hero, imho. We have lost a real voice for the people.

Peter, in your view did the ChapaQ. events involve proto-plumber Tony U. working with the CIA knowlingly or the CIA doing something else that the Nixon proto-plumbers were unaware of --similar to the 2/5 CIA/plumbers compartmentalized operation that many researchers feel happened at the Watergate?

Also I am curious as to whether you read that book on ChapaQ by that journalist who was later used as a source for Peter Janney in his new book on Mary Pinchot Meyer. Has anyone read this book? How much overlap is there between that writers interpretation and that of Mattew Smith summarized above?

I wonder why Ted Kennedy enthusiastically backed both Kerry and Obama in their presidential runs. Seems like he had to know they were part of the machine. In fact Ted, Caroline, and Ted Sorensen all back Obama. Could they really not know? I wonder if they know now.

Quote:Watergate has never been a primary area of research, but I've also not ignored it. It seems to me there were two groups working on it - not letting the other know the other they were 'there' doing things. [wheels within wheels]. Nixon it seems tried to 'get' Ted, but others may have beat him to it and then tried to blame it on him....or some other iteration.

Quote:No, not yet. Smith's books go a long way to convince me that the official version of ChapaQ had as much veracity as Dallas or L.A......and were all done [in part] by the same 'power structure'....

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:
http://www.wishtv.com/dpp/news/politics/...h_20090826

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...
