2023.06.05 07:05 SilentSpace They assassinated JFK, RFK, and JFK, Jr who was planning to run for US Senator of NY against Hillary Clinton. Will they try to take out RFK, Jr as well?

RE: JFK, Jr's assassination. Friday, July 16, 1999-- 8:39 PM: Kennedy's plane departed. He had checked in with the FAA tower at Martha's Vineyard Airport in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, before take-off. 9:33 PM: The plane, still headed northeast, began descending from its cruising altitude of 5,500 feet. 9:38 PM: The plane while still descending began a slight turn to the right so that it was headed due east, lining itself up with the southern coast of Martha’s Vineyard. John Jr. always did this so he could fly over his late mother’s Red Gate Farm. 9:38 PM and 20 seconds: The plane completed the turn and stopped its descent, leveling off at 2200 feet. But it’s against FAA regulations for a plane to fly below 2,500 feet without first contacting the tower. So in a manner that’s typical of John’s carefulness and following procedures, he brought the plane back up to 2,500 feet. 9:38 PM and 50 seconds: With wings level, the plane was on final approach, with 14 miles to go to the airport. At 200 mph, the plane would land in about 5 minutes. 9:39 PM: John contacted the tower. He said he was 13 miles from the airport and 10 miles from the coast. He reportedly said he was making his final approach. In his final approach message, Kennedy told controllers at the airport that he planned to drop off his wife's sister and then take off again between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. for Hyannis Airport. (This information was provided by Coast Guard Petty Officer Todd Burgun, who said he got it from the FAA.) 9:40 PM and 15 seconds: The plane suddenly dove out of the sky, falling 2,500 feet in 45 seconds, crashing into the water at 200 mph. 10:00 PM: A well-dressed couple with a child who had come to the airport to meet Lauren Bessette grew concerned when the plane did not arrive as expected by 10 PM. 10:05 PM: Adam Budd, an employee at Martha’s Vineyard Airport is approached by the friends of Lauren Bessette, who said she should have arrived at 9:44 PM. ''Actually, Kennedy Jr.'s on board. He's, uh, they wanna know, uh, where he is,'' Budd told an unidentified FAA employee at the Bridgeport Automated Flight Service Station. Budd said: During his conversation with the unidentified FAA employee, Budd asked if the FAA could track an airplane. Budd said he was with airport operations at Martha's Vineyard, then mentioned Kennedy's name and provided two possible aircraft numbers for Kennedy's plane. The employee questioned Budd repeatedly about who he was and where he was calling from. After Budd gave his name, the FAA employee asked if he was, in fact, with airport operations. He ultimately told Budd, ''We don't give this information out to people over the phone.'' 11:00 PM: Senator Edward Kennedy contacted the FAA to let them know the plane was missing. The FAA officials did nothing.
Saturday, July 17, 1999-- 2:15 AM: Carol Radziwill (wife of John's maternal cousin a news reporter), fed up with the FAA, called the Coast Guard and set in motion a multiagency search that began with calls to regional airports.
3:28 AM: An official search and rescue mission is launched by the Coast Guard. (more than 4.5 hours after the plane was supposed to arrive!!!)
6:30 AM: Ted Kennedy woke up John Podesta, Clinton’s Chief of Staff. 7:00 AM: Podesta woke up Clinton. 7:15 AM: Clinton told Podesta to call the Air Force and warn them if they didn’t have a search underway in 15 minutes, they shouldn’t bother to come to work Monday morning because they would all be fired, if they weren’t in jail.

Go pound sand! Environmentalists sue to block desert solar . . . ?

Photo above – Solar panels and wind turbines solving America's energy crisis.
Not shown – Environmental groups say “no”, and insist we get a free lunch somewhere else.​
How solar farms took over the California desert: ‘An oasis has become a dead sea’ California The Guardian
Yikes. Turn off the lights! That energy efficient LED bulb - powered by solar panels - is destroying planet Earth. If you think THAT's bad, just imagine the havoc wrought by your Tesla. Does Musk know about this?
Wasn't solar energy supposed to be clean, cheap and virtually limitless? It's why so many federal agencies are throwing money at it. Subsidies for rooftop solar, electric cars, ten gigawatt 18 wheelers, and even battery powered passenger planes. Who knew that we'd immediately discover that this is yet another environmental disaster. See link above.
I always predicted that wind turbines would fall out of favor. Even before Ted Kennedy successfully blocked a few offshore turbines which might have intruded on his scenic oceanfront views at Hyannis port. Not only are turbines unsightly, but they mince up migrating birds, emit an otherworldly low frequency hum, and fall apart in about 20 years. Dammit - I've got a toaster older than that!
But solar panels? These were supposed to be the last, best, and final option for saving Earth from destruction. The sun is going to shine for another 5 billion years. We use less than a fraction of 1% of the planet's surface to collect solar power today. You could meet the energy needs of billions and billions of people with just a modest expansion of solar power. Tax credits now, instead of Apocalypse Now!
Just NOT in the desert, it turns out. People who live nearby say the desert is an "oasis" (their actual claim), and solar panels are ruining it. I usually think of an oasis as a tropical respite from endless burning sand dunes, but not these guys. And even if the complainers can't actually SEE the offending solar panels from their backyard, they worry about the dust from construction. And what's going to happen to the wildlife there - Snakes. Scorpions. Armadillos? This is all going to end in tears. Non profit environmental groups, suing clean energy groups, suing government agencies. Years and years of litigation. Billions in fines. Superfund solar panel and turbine cleanup sites! Special prosecutors are needed now . . .
As a small-government advocate, I usually get a secret thrill from seeing one government agency suing another. Perhaps one of them will actually be sued to death? This validates all my expectations arising from the phrase “I'm from the government and I'm here to help . . . by spending your tax dollars in absurd ways . . . in court . . .”
Okay. So no solar. No windmills. Growing up my dad heard that atomic energy was going to make electricity so cheap that power companies wouldn't even bother installing meters. How about hydro-electric dams - unlimited water power? Harness the force of gravity – the strongest thing in the universe. So strong it can make black holes. Can we use that?
There's a bunch of scientists who claim they've discovered a new way to get “unlimited” electric power by hanging up sheets of plastic, perforated with VERY tiny holes (one thousandth the width of a human hair). These trick electrons lurking in the breeze into going to work for us. Another lab says we need giant orbiting solar panels, which will then beam their captured energy to earth in microwave transmissions. I didn't link to these press releases in today's column because they are such obvious scams. University and government guys claiming they've found a perpetual motion machine. All we have to do is give them enough money to complete their research. Because we'll believe anything . ..
I certainly bear no ill will toward rattlesnakes, scorpions, and whatever else lurks in the Mohave desert. I don't want to see a murder of crows done in by wind turbines. Endangered whales deserve protection from subsonic tidal generator vibrations that would disorient them so that they beach themselves.
But normal people like you and me - we can't afford to have every special interest group file suit against every other one. There's not enough money on planet earth for this. Let alone in the 2023 US budget. The one being wrapped up now by Biden and McCarthy. The one that has BIG tax breaks in it for solar, wind turbines, battery cars . . . .
We are going to need A LOT more solar panels if government edicts outlawing gas cars actually take effect. The fraction of 1% of land already occupied by solar panels is going to seem puny compared to what we'll need then.
Unless one of those perpetual motion scams I mentioned above pans out.
Full disclosure. This writer has an all-electric apartment. Induction cooktop, because natural gas stoves will be outlawed shortly. Electric hot water, clothes dryer, air fryer, air conditioner, heat pump, refrigerator . . . . you name it. But I don't have an electric car yet. New legislation will require all houses and apartments come with BEV chargers pre-installed. Bet you can't wait!

2023.05.26 13:34 Harry_is_white_hot CIA Director Allen Dulles to President John F. Kennedy: “Sorry, you don’t have a Need To Know about UFOs”. He is forced to resign 15 days later – but did Dulles exact revenge almost two years to the day?

CIA Director Allen Dulles to President John F. Kennedy: “Sorry, you don’t have a Need To Know about UFOs”. He is forced to resign 15 days later – but did Dulles exact revenge almost two years to the day?
We know from the declassified calendar of CIA Director Allen Dulles that he visited the Oval Office twice in one day on 28 June 1961, the only time in Dulles’ calendar from late 1959 to January 1962 that this occurs. The files released as part of the Majestic Documents have JFK formally asking Dulles to brief him on the MJ-12 Intelligence Operations and how they relate to psychological warfare – a concept that CIA Counterintelligence Director James Jesus Angleton has been pushing since the early 1950s.1
​
President Kennedy requests information from DCI Dulles regarding MJ-12 Ops
Kennedy wants to know what the CIA knows about UFOs. He already knew a lot about the subject himself, having accompanied the then Secretary of the Navy, James Forrestal to Germany in May 1945 to find out about the “Secret Weapons” that the Nazis were thought to have had. The 8th Air Force encountered many unusual objects during World War 2, the most famous incident being Mission 115 over Schweinfurt, Germany on 14 October 1943. In that incident, a B-17 bomber collided with some silver disk-like objects but miraculously emerged unscathed.2 Kennedy was also informed about the Roswell crash just a few days after it happened by an employee of the Secretary of the newly formed Air Force3. The normal powers of control of the UFO subject that the CIA held over the previous two Presidents were therefore ineffective.
We also now know from Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s recent interview with Russell Brand that JFK had a direct phone line to Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev- the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union4. Kennedy had no doubt discussed the subject of UFOs with Khrushchev, and the response he received most likely contradicted the narrative that Dulles and Angleton were telling him. The Air Force was also a dead end for information; General Curtis LeMay had been the Air Commander on the first Schweinfurt raid in August 1943 and threatened to Court Martial any aircrew in his command who refused to go. LeMay personally led every mission the 305th Bombardment Group flew over Germany to prevent the high abort rates that had been occurring – whilst not lacking courage, he certainly did not want reports of flying “silver discs” entered in official mission debriefs5. The animosity between LeMay and JFK was well known at the time – he wasn’t about to tell him anything he didn’t have to. Imagine President Kennedy’s rage when the following document was received from Dulles in response to the 28 June request6:
​
Dulles's reponse to Kennedy: \"you don't have a need to know\"
In particular, this sentence must have been galling for Kennedy:
“For reasons of security, I cannot divulge pertinent data on some of the more sensitive aspects of MJ-12 activities which have been deemed properly classified under the 1954 Atomic Energy Act of 1954”.
Dulles (and by default, Angleton) are claiming here that they "don't know" if the Soviet radars are also capturing UFOs operating in their airspace, and if they do, whether or not the Soviet military "perceives" them as a U.S. PSYOP (which is what they claim the MJ-12 activities are).
Dulles was asked for his resignation later that day, and Kennedy received it formally on 19 November 1961. Dulles’ replacement was former Atomic Energy Commissioner John McCone.
So why would the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 have prevented Dulles from revealing information about the MJ-12 activities and UFOs? Because the CIA knew that there was an offensive capability of using nuclear weapons against active UFO incursions, and was actively assisting Israel build a atomic bomb to fill the gap before the Dimona nuclear weapons facility could start production. CIA officers David L. Christ and James McCord were given “Q” level clearances to make it happen.
JFK researcher Jefferson Morley recently revealed that James Jesus Angleton was Director of two divisions within the CIA; Counterintelligence and something called the “Israeli Account”7. Initially started by Vice President Richard Nixon during the period President Eisenhower was incapacitated by a mild stroke and continuing under McCones’ watch as AEC Chairman, highly enriched Uranium was stolen over a period of time from the NUMEC facility in Pennsylvania and made its way to West Germany. David L. Christ and later James McCord used a CIA annex in Frankfurt to assemble a gun-type nuclear weapon, similar to the “Little Boy” used in Hiroshima. McCord had to take over the project from Christ, who had foolishly volunteered for a temporary assignment in Cuba, where he was captured in December 1960 and imprisoned there for 3 years. Whilst official CIA reports state that Christ’s cover as a CIA operative was not “blown”, recently declassified JFK Assassination documents suggest otherwise:
· Upon release from prison and his return to the United States, Christ gave misleading statements in his CIA debriefing and resulted in the CIA preventing him from leaving the country8.
· There is a curious file from the House Select Committee on Assassinations that has profiles on David L. Christ, William K. Harvey, and E. Howard Hunt9. Harvey was in charge of the ZRIFLE program that authorized him to assassinate foreign leaders without oversight by ANYONE, including the President. Hunt is well known as one of the “Tramps” arrested in the railway yards behind Dealy Plaza on 22 November 1963 and also arrested as one of the “Plumbers” of Watergate. Why was there a file with only the profiles of these three individuals?
· There is also an HSCA file on David L. Christ that had been flagged as also being of interest to the Watergate investigation10.
It should not come as a surprise that the Cubans may have extracted information on Christ’s Q Clearance, his reasons for requiring access to nuclear weapons designs (when he was employed by the CIA as an Audio Engineer), and his activities involving Israel. This last point is interesting – were the Israelis interested in acquiring nuclear weapons as a deterrent from not only its Arab neighbors but also from hostile UFOs? Douglas Caddy, who was counsel for E. Howard Hunt during the Watergate trial, states that Hunt told him that the Plumbers were looking for Cuban Government reports that would reveal the United States’ core secret – that of the “Alien Presence”11. This would explain why James McCord, who had a stellar CIA career previously, was sent into the Watergate Hotel as one of the Plumbers. Having held a Q Clearance and been involved in the CIA program to deliver a nuclear bomb to the Israelis, he would recognize any reports instantly.
David L. Christ’s CIA career after his return to the U.S. in 1963 remained focused on UFOs, however. In Dulles’ shocking response to President Kennedy, he mentions the following:
​
Dulles referring to the system known as EARPOP
The system that the CIA used to collect ELINT and SIGINT data of Sino-Soviet radar systems was codenamed EARPOP12, and was a joint CIA/NSA effort13. David L. Christ was granted access to the EARPOP Special Access Program compartment in 196414. The frequencies scanned include those referred to by the likes of Bob Fysh, Oke Shannon, and the 1957 incident involving the USAF spy plane:
​
Frequencies examined by EARPOP system
President Kennedy tried a different tack with DCI McCone, not knowing that McCone had facilitated the whole MJ-12 project initially in his role as the AEC Chairman. In his book The Sampson Option, investigate reporter Seymour Hersh relates how the story of the Israeli nuclear weapons program was revealed to the world:
“By December i960, John W. Finney had been a reporter for three years in the Washington bureau of the New York Times, covering nuclear issues and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Finney, hired away from United Press International by bureau chief James A. Reston, was considered a solid addition to the news staff—but he had yet to bust a big one. Finney's story came late that month and was, as Finney recalled, "handed to me on a platter." The messenger was the Times's redoubtable Arthur Krock, then the patriarch of Washington columnists, who approached Finney's desk late one afternoon. Krock was known to young bureau reporters such as Finney for his remoteness and for his daily long lunches with senior government officials at the private Metropolitan Club, a few blocks from the White House. "Mr. Finney," Krock said, "I think if you call John McCone, he'll have a story for you." John A. McCone, a very wealthy Republican businessman from California, was chairman of the AEC, and Finney had established a good rapport with him. Fin ney immediately understood the situation: "They were looking to plant a story. I was the right person and Krock was the intermediary." Finney made the call and was promptly invited to McCone's office. "McCone was mad, sputtering mad," Finney recalled. "He started talking and saying, 'They lied to us.'
Who?
*"The Israelis. They told us it was a textile plant." There was new intelligence, McCone said, revealing that the Israelis had secretly built a nuclear reactor in the Negev with French help; McCone wanted Finney to take the story public. Finney's subsequent article, published December 19 on page one in the Times, told the American people what Art Lundahl and Dino Brugioni had been reporting to the White House for more than two years: that Israel, with the aid of the French, was building a nuclear reactor to produce plutonium. "Israel had made no public announcement about the reactor, nor has she privately informed the United States of her plan," Finney wrote, faithfully reflecting what McCone told him. "There is an ill-concealed feeling of annoyance among officials that the United States has been left in the dark by two of its international friends, France and Israel."*15
In reality, both McCone and Dulles realized that the Cubans would eventually extract David L. Christ’s true identity and what he had been involved with when he was captured earlier that month. They were trying to get ahead of the story in case the Cubans passed the information on to the Soviet Union.
President John F. Kennedy’s persistent pressure on the Israelis for transparency at its Dimona nuclear reactor is well known – he thought that nuclear weapons in the Middle East was a disastrous proposition and did everything in his power to stop them. According to Hersh, one Israeli, who has firsthand knowledge of his government's nuclear weapons program, told him bitterly: "We got the message. We can still remember the smell of Auschwitz and Treblinka. Next time we'll take all of you with us."16 Kennedy had most likely gotten wind of MJ-12 and its operations through other channels, and so his reaction when Dulles refused to elaborate was immediate. The Soviets, however, were concerned that they would be the target of Israel’s nuclear weapons. Their moles within the British spy agencies – known as the Cambridge Five – had informed them of the tunnel constructed by the CIA’s William K. Harvey underneath Berlin, and had probably also informed them of the CIA weapons assembly project underway by McCord in Frankfurt. With aircraft capable of delivering free-fall nuclear weapons based in Germany and Turkey, the Soviets decided to position a few of their own weapons in Cuba, causing the Cuban Missile Crisis.
It was during this period that the atmospheric test ban treaty was abandoned and a series of high-altitude nuclear tests was carried out. One of them, Bluegill Triple Prime, appeared to cause a UFO to either crash or make rapid evasive action maneuvers in milliseconds that were captured in extremely slow-motion film by multiple aircraft17:
​
Imagery from KC-135 aircraft of Bluegill Triple Prime nuclear blast at an altitude of 48 km. Objected blasted out of the nuclear fireball appears to make a series of very high-speed maneuvers to recover flight.
​

These maneuvers would simply not be possible by any craft made by human hands. The conclusive proof of non-human intelligence operating in our atmosphere was relayed to Kennedy by the U.S.Navy, who in turn contacted Khrushchev via the direct line installed at Hyannis Port and thus circumventing the CIA.18
The final attempt by President Kennedy to engage the CIA to work constructively on the UFO subject with other people of this planet was delivered only 10 days before his assassination19:
​
President Kennedy requesting CIA cooperate with USSR on UFO research
Scrawled on the side of this document is the following note:
Response for Colby – Angleton has the MJ directive. 11/12/63
The MJ Directive is, of course, the “Burned Memo” from MJ-1 (Allen Dulles) and it gives the order for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to stop the “Core Secret” from being shared with the Soviets. It was pulled from the furnace of CIA Headquarters when a team of 5 archivists was going through the myriad of safes on Level 2 where James Jesus Angleton kept his darkest secrets20:
​
Directive for \"Wet Works\" - i.e. assassination
References will be placed in the comment sections.
Edit: Just for clarity, the November 12 1963 request to CIA from Kennedy was addressed to the Director of Counterintelligence, Central Intelligence Agency. That person was James Jesus Angleton and is discussed at length here in the "homework" email from Stratfor that was part of the Wikileaks release:

It should not come as a surprise if the Cubans extracted information on Christ’s Q Clearance, his reasons for requiring access to nuclear weapons designs when he was employed by the CIA as an Audio Engineer, and his activities involving Israel. This last point is interesting – were the Israelis wanting to acquire nuclear weapons as a deterrent from not only its Arab neighbors but also from hostile UFOs? Douglas Caddy, who was counsel for E. Howard Hunt during the Watergate trial, states that Hunt told him that the Plumbers were looking for Cuban Government reports that would reveal the United States’ core secret – that of the “Alien Presence”11. This would explain why James McCord, who had a stellar CIA career previously, was sent into the Watergate Hotel as one of the Plumbers. Having held a Q Clearance and been involved in the CIA program to deliver a nuclear bomb to the Israelis, he would recognize any reports instantly.
David L. Christ’s CIA career after his return to the U.S. in 1963 remained focused on UFOs, however. In Dulles’ shocking response to President Kennedy, he mentions the following:

President Kennedy tried a different tact with DCI McCone, not knowing that McCone had facilitated the whole MJ-12 project initially in his role as the AEC Commissioner. In his book The Sampson Option, investigate reporter Seymour Hersh relates the story of how the story of the Israeli nuclear weapons program was revealed to the world:
“By December i960, John W. Finney had been a reporter for three years in the Washington bureau of the New York Times, covering nuclear issues and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Finney, hired away from United Press International by bureau chief James A. Reston, was considered a solid addition to the news staff—but he had yet to bust a big one. Finney's story came late that month and was, as Finney recalled, "handed to me on a platter." The messenger was the Times's redoubtable Arthur Krock, then the patriarch of Washington columnists, who approached Finney's desk late one afternoon. Krock was known to young bureau reporters such as Finney for his remoteness and for his daily long lunches with senior government officials at the private Metropolitan Club, a few blocks from the White House. "Mr. Finney," Krock said, "I think if you call John McCone, he'll have a story for you." John A. McCone, a very wealthy Republican businessman from California, was chairman of the AEC, and Finney had established good rapport with him. Fin ney immediately understood the situation: "They were looking to plant a story. I was the right person and Krock was the intermediary." Finney made the call and was promptly invited to McCone's office. "McCone was mad, sputtering mad," Finney recalled. "He started talking and saying, 'They lied to us.'
Who?
*"The Israelis. They told us it was a textile plant."* There was new intelligence, McCone said, revealing that the Israelis had secretly built a nuclear reactor in the Negev with French help; McCone wanted Finney to take the story public. Finney's subsequent article, published December 19 on page one in the Times, told the American people what Art Lundahl and Dino Brugioni had been reporting to the White House for more than two years: that Israel, with the aid of the French, was building a nuclear reactor to produce plutonium. "Israel had made no public announcement about the reactor, nor has she privately informed the United States of her plan," Finney wrote, faithfully reflecting what McCone told him. "There is an ill-concealed feeling of annoyance among officials that the United States has been left in the dark by two of its international friends, France and Israel."*15
In reality, both McCone and Dulles realized that the Cubans would eventually extract David L. Christ’s true identity and what he had been involved with when he was captured earlier that month. They were trying to get ahead of the story in case the Cubans past the information onto the Soviet Union.
President John F. Kennedy’s persistent pressure on the Israelis for transparency at its Dimona nuclear reactor is well known – he thought that nuclear weapons in the Middle East was a disastrous proposition and did everything in his power to stop them. According to Hersh, one Israeli, who has firsthand knowledge of his government's nuclear weapons program, told him bitterly: "We got the message. We can still remember the smell of Auschwitz and Treblinka. Next time we'll take all of you with us.*"*16 Kennedy had most likely gotten wind of MJ-12 and its operations through other channels, and so his reaction when Dulles refused to elaborate was immediate. The Soviets, however, were concerned that they would be the target of Israel’s nuclear weapons. Their moles within the British spy agencies – known as the Cambridge Five – had informed them of the tunnel constructed by the CIA’s William K. Harvey underneath Berlin, and had probably also informed them of the CIA weapons assembly project underway by McCord in Frankfurt. With aircraft capable of delivering free-fall nuclear weapons based in Germany and Turkey, the Soviets decided to position a few of their own weapons in Cuba, causing the Cuban Missile Crisis.
It was during this period that the atmospheric test ban treaty was abandoned and a series of high-altitude nuclear tests was carried out. One of them, Bluegill Triple Prime, appeared to cause a UFO to either crash or make rapid evasive action maneuvers in milliseconds that were captured in extremely slow-motion film by multiple aircraft17:
​

These maneuvers would simply not be possible by any craft made from human hands. The conclusive proof of non-human intelligence operating in our atmosphere was relayed to Kennedy by the U.S.Navy, who in turn contacted Khrushchev via the direct line installed at Hyannis Port and thus circumventing the CIA.18
The final attempt by President Kennedy to engage the CIA to work constructively on the UFO subject with other people on this planet was delivered only 10 days before his assassination19:

2023.05.26 11:18 Harry_is_white_hot CIA Director Allen Dulles to President John F. Kennedy: “Sorry, you don’t have a Need To Know about UFOs”. He is forced to resign 15 days later – but did he exact deadly revenge for this action almost two years to the day?

CIA Director Allen Dulles to President John F. Kennedy: “Sorry, you don’t have a Need To Know about UFOs”. He is forced to resign 15 days later – but did he exact deadly revenge for this action almost two years to the day?
We know from the declassified calendar of CIA Director Allen Dulles that he visited the Oval Office twice in one day on 28 June 1961, the only time in Dulles’ calendar from late 1959 to January 1962 that this occurs. The files released as part of the Majestic Documents have JFK formally asking Dulles to brief him on the MJ-12 Intelligence Operations and how they relate to psychological warfare – a concept that CIA Counterintelligence Director James Jesus Angleton has been pushing since the early 1950s.1
​
President Kennedy requests UFO information from DCI Dulles
Kennedy wants to know what the CIA knows about UFOs. He already knew a lot about the subject himself, having accompanied the then Secretary of the Navy, James Forrestal to Germany in May 1945 to find out about the “Secret Weapons” that the Nazis were thought to have had. The 8th Air Force encountered many unusual objects during World War 2, the most famous incident being Mission 115 over Schweinfurt, Germany on 14 October 1943. In that incident, a B-17 bomber collided with some silver disk-like objects but miraculously emerged unscathed.2 Kennedy was also informed about the Roswell crash just a few days after it happened by an employee of the Secretary of the newly formed Air Force3. The normal powers of control of the UFO subject that the CIA held over the previous two Presidents were therefore ineffective.
We also now know from Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s recent interview with Russell Brand that JFK had a direct phone line to Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev- the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union4. Kennedy had no doubt discussed the subject of UFOs with Khrushchev, and the response he received most likely contradicted the narrative that Dulles and Angleton were telling him. The Air Force was also a dead end for information; General Curtis LeMay had been the Air Commander on the first Schweinfurt raid in August 1943 and threatened to Court Martial any aircrew in his command who refused to go. LeMay personally led every mission the 305th Bombardment Group flew over Germany to prevent the high abort rates that had been occurring – whilst not lacking courage, he certainly did not want reports of flying “silver discs” entered in official mission debriefs5. The animosity between LeMay and JFK was well known at the time – he wasn’t about to tell him anything he didn’t have to. Imagine President Kennedy’s rage when the following document was received from Dulles in response to the 28 June request6:
​
DCI Dulles refused to give information to President Kennedy
In particular, this sentence must have been galling for Kennedy:
“For reasons of security, I cannot divulge pertinent data on some of the more sensitive aspects of MJ-12 activities which have been deemed properly classified under the 1954 Atomic Energy Act of 1954”.
Dulles (and by default, Angleton) are claiming here that they "don't know" if the Soviet radars are also capturing UFOs operating in their airspace, and if they do, whether or not the Soviet military "perceives" them as a U.S. PSYOP (which is what they claim the MJ-12 activities are). In response, Dulles is asked for his resignation later that day and Kennedy received it formally on 19 November 1961. Dulles’ replacement was former Atomic Energy Commissioner John McCone.
So why would the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 have prevented Dulles from revealing information about the MJ-12 activities and UFOs? Because the CIA knew that there was an offensive capability of using nuclear weapons against active UFO incursions, and was actively assisting Israel to build an atomic bomb as a defensive response to fill the gap before the Dimona nuclear weapons facility could start production. CIA officers David L. Christ and James McCord were given “Q” level clearances to make that happen.
JFK researcher Jefferson Morley recently revealed that James Jesus Angleton was Director of two divisions within CIA; Counterintelligence and something called the “Israeli Account”7. Under McCones’ watch as AEC Commissioner, highly enriched Uranium was stolen over a period of time from the NUMEC facility in Philadelphia and made its way to West Germany. David L. Christ and later James McCord used a CIA annex in Frankfurt to assemble a gun-type nuclear weapon, similar to the “Little Boy” used in Hiroshima. McCord had to take over the project from Christ, who had foolishly volunteered for a temporary assignment in Cuba and was captured in December 1960 and imprisoned there for 3 years. Whilst official CIA reports state that Christ’s cover as a CIA operative was not “blown”, recently declassified JFK Assassination documents suggest otherwise:
  1. Upon release from prison and his return to the United States, Christ gave misleading statements in his CIA debriefing and resulted in the CIA preventing him from leaving the country8.
  2. There is a curious file from the House Select Committee on Assassinations that has profiles on David L. Christ, William K. Harvey, and E. Howard Hunt9. Harvey was in charge of the ZRIFLE program that authorized him to assassinate foreign leaders without oversight by ANYONE, including the President. Hunt is well known as one of the “Tramps” arrested in the railway yards behind Dealy Plaza on 22 November 1963 and also arrested as one of the “Plumbers” of Watergate. Why was there a file with only the profiles of these three individuals?
  3. There is also an HSCA file on David L. Christ that had been flagged as also being of interest to the Watergate investigation10.
It should not come as a surprise if the Cubans extracted information on Christ’s Q Clearance, his reasons for requiring access to nuclear weapons designs when he was employed by the CIA as an Audio Engineer, and his activities involving Israel. This last point is interesting – were the Israelis interested in acquiring nuclear weapons as a deterrent from not only its Arab neighbors, but also from hostile UFOs? Douglas Caddy, who was counsel for E.

2022.12.18 04:09 badinplaid19 There are a lot of bad spots on 28, but this stretch from Centerville to Hyannis is atrocious

Look through a list of the 50 intersections on Cape with the most accidents and you'll see just about every intersection between the intersection of 28 and Old Stage Road (Centerville) east to to 28 and Bearses Way in Hyannis is there. Why in the actual fuck hasn't the Town of Barnstable or the Commonwealth done anything about it? People treat the two lane stretches like drag strips trying to get one or two cars ahead. Meanwhile there's tons of cars turning in and out of all of the poorly planned strip malls along the way, and the speed limit is 40 mph. Can't someone do something to calm traffic through there? Lower speed limits? Narrower roadway? Better pedestrian/ cyclist infrastructure? How many more accidents and pedestrian deaths is it going to take to get some action on this?
The latest crash from today...

2022.09.30 06:21 BringOnYourStorm [EVENT] US General Election of 1960

Election night had at long last arrived. It had been a turbulent campaign season, and a rough one for Richard Nixon, who weathered humiliation dealt out by his own President and a series of defeats on the Civil Rights front-- worst of them all being the endorsement of Martin Luther King going to John Kennedy. Thus, the mood in Los Angeles at the Nixon campaign headquarters was anxious: from the candidate down, they realized that their campaign had been a train of mishaps, up to and including the candidate spending the waning hours of the election campaign in Alaska, of all states, with its 3 electoral votes. Lodge wasn't exactly a masterstroke of a VP pick, either, having campaigned lazily and put his foot in his mouth a few times too many.
"The pledge to visit all 50 states is well and good," one campaign staffer mumbled while he clutched a glass of wine. He took a drink and sighed. "Why the fuck we went to Alaska so close to tonight, though..."
Polls began closing on the east coast. On CBS news, Walter Cronkite called Connecticut for Kennedy. There were some groans, but someone called out jauntily, "It's in Kennedy's back yard, what did you expect?"
The candidate sat, jacket unbuttoned, staring rapt at the television.
---
On the opposite coast, on Cape Cod, the Kennedy clan gathered with their nearest friends and advisors. Jack sat in the center of the room, unwittingly wearing a look almost identical to Richard Nixon's, his hand caressing his chin as CBS tallied more results. Bobby stalked back and forth, never far from the telephone. He looked up at the television but made no comment. Rose, the Kennedy matriarch, gave her eldest son's shoulder a supportive squeeze as Charles Carroll announced South Carolina for Kennedy.
Joe, the boisterous patriarch, grinned. "You'll have every state in the south, mark my words. They haven't voted for a Republican for 100 years."
As if in response, Carroll finished his summation and returned the microphone to Cronkite, who read a Telex from Los Angeles. "His aides say he remains confident of victory based on these early returns."
Bobby shot the television an acidic look until, in short order, their own man-- Pierre Salinger's-- response was read, expressing excitement over the Connecticut returns. He picked up the telephone, undoubtedly calling Salinger again, and delivered some hushed message about South Carolina. Jack didn't pay very close attention, his eyes were riveted to the screen before him.
---
For the rest of the night the results trickled in and it became evident that it was an incredibly close race. California remained in the air trending heavily for Kennedy, a persistent irritant for Vice President Nixon and 32 electoral votes that were going nowhere or into the wrong column for him. Illinois was extremely close, New Jersey was too close to call. New York, thankfully, fell into the Kennedy column quickly. Florida, for an agonizing long time, wasn't called-- then it went to Nixon.
With Kennedy ahead in California and carrying much of the south, Midwest, and mid-Atlantic, Nixon picked up the telephone. At 3 o'clock in the morning on November 9, 1960, Nixon conceded the election to John F. Kennedy. He took to the stage in Los Angeles and delivered a speech to the same effect to his dejected supporters, grinning through raucous chants of "We want Nixon!" He expressed appreciation for the United States' long tradition of rallying behind their elected leader, and pledged his full support to the President-Elect.
In Hyannis, at the Hyannis Port Armory, the new President-Elect arrived before the cameras with his wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, and his brother-- among other assorted family members-- and delivered a short victory speech. At the end he declared, "To all Americans I say, the next four years are going to be difficult and challenging years for us all. The election may have been a close one, but I think that there is general agreement from all of our citizens that a supreme national effort will be needed in the years ahead to move this country safely through the 1960s. I ask your help in this effort, and I can assure you that every degree of mind and spirit that I possess will be devoted to the long-range interests of the United States and to the cause of freedom around the world."

The morning of November 9, the White House was rattled. President Eisenhower had dispatched a telegram to Massachusetts congratulating the President-Elect, and another to Los Angeles consoling his Vice President. Few people had expected Kennedy to actually beat Nixon, and when it was Clark Clifford calling about beginning the transition the reality began to set in. President Eisenhower designated his Chief of Staff, Wilton Persons, to lead his end of the transition and they resumed, feverishly, the work of preparing the White House for the change.
Clifford already wanted to meet with Persons, and Eisenhower directed his Chief of Staff to extend an offer to meet directly with the President-Elect. The telegram was duly sent to Hyannis, and an affirmative reply arrived by midday.
By the end of December, Kennedy and Eisenhower had held five in-person meetings and teams had been established to begin transitioning the executive agencies to Kennedy's chosen successors for their present heads. DCI Allen Dulles had met with Kennedy and began briefing him on matters of intelligence.
Ike and JFK began the transition with dim opinions of each other, but over the course of the month of November they warmed to each other considerably. Eisenhower still thought of Kennedy as a "kid", but the energy his team brought to the White House was hard to ignore. At the end of the month Eisenhower extended an offer to Kennedy to join him for Cabinet meetings to have a say in decision-making, but Kennedy politely declined-- he did not believe he would be able to render good opinions without full access to information and control over executive agencies.

Congress
The US Congress, at the conclusion of the 1960 election, elected a new House and one-third of the Senate per Constitutional rules. The House of Representatives would consist of 262 Democrats, 175 Republicans, and 1 Independent. The Senate, much less changed, would see 64 Democrats and 36 Republicans, with the impending retirement of numerous Democratic Senators, including the House Majority Leader-turned-Vice President-Elect, inferring numerous special elections to come in Texas, Massachusetts, and beyond.
---
The Kennedy Administration So Far
As the Kennedy transition team went to work, the President-Elect held a press conference wherein he announced several selections for executive office. Alongside requesting Mr. Allen Dulles to remain on as the Director of Central Intelligence and J. Edgar Hoover as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he had confirmed that Mr. Pierre Salinger would become the White House Press Secretary.
Additionally, the President-Elect confirmed Mr. Theodore Sorensen and Mr. Kenneth O'Donnell as White House Special Counsel and Special Assistant to the President respectively.
---
On a Personal Note
On 25 November, 1960, the President-Elect and his wife celebrated the birth of their eldest son, John F. Kennedy, Jr., an occasion upon which he received numerous telegrams of congratulation, not least of which coming from the President himself, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

2022.07.04 05:22 Intrepid_Wanderer #SayTheirNames: Laura Hope Smith

In 2007, 22-year-old Laura Hope Smith had a legal abortion at the deceptively named Women's Health Center. The abortionist was Rapin Osathanondh, who failed to monitor Laura after her abortion. Additionally, neither the abortionist or his assistant had CPR certifications and they did not call 911 after attempts to revive Laura failed.
An investigation was started to find out what happened to Laura. Osathanondh falsified CPR certification cards, bought new equipment and changed the configuration of his Hyannis office to make it appear that a defibrillator and oxygen were easily accessible. This did not fool the Medical Board.
He was sentenced to a 2 1/2-year jail term with six months to serve. However, the plea agreement allowed him out on parole after three months. In addition to the jail time, Osathanondh's sentence included nine months of home confinement (during which he must be electronically monitored and cannot leave his house except in emergencies or pre-approved medical appointments.) He also can’t practice medicine, teach anything having to do with medical science or contact the Smith family.
The sentence also banned him from commenting on the case on any social media, with Facebook specifically mentioned.
Laura’s parents won $2 million from the lawsuit, but none of the money could bring back their daughter.

2022.06.28 00:16 agnosiabeforecoffee Dr. Margaret Kilcoyne vanished from her home in Nantucket in 1980, was it suicide, murder, or kidnapping?

Short Summary:
50-year-old physician and researcher Margaret “Peg” Kilcoyne makes a significant research breakthrough. She then exhibits behavior that concerns her brother and friends. On January 26, 1980, she goes missing from her vacation home in Nantucket, MA and has never been seen again.
Early Life
Margaret “Peg” Mary Kilcoyne was born August 26, 19303 in Worcester, MassachusettsA. She had three brothers, Leo, Thomas, and JohnB. Thomas died in 19461. In 1951 she graduated from Boston Children's Hospital School of Nursing and initially worked as a registered nurse1. She later obtained a bachelor's degree from Boston University and in 1964 was the first woman to graduate with a medical degree from the University of Vermont. 1,2,3,4
Note: Most sources refer to her as Margaret instead of Peg, so I’ve continued that to limit confusion.
About Margaret
At the time of her disappearance, Margaret was 5’9"C and approx 140lbs. She had red/auburn hair and blue eyes3,4. Margaret never married and had no children. She is reported to have casually dated, but no serious relationships are reported1. No pets are mentioned in the source materials.
Her brother, Leo, was a vice-president with IBM in Toronto, Canada8. Her mother and oldest brother, John still lived in Worcester. Her third brother Thomas died in 1946, after drowning in a presumed accident in the pool at his university.1 Margaret was very close to Leo, to the point her friends did not know she had a second living brother1.
Margaret was raised Catholic and was known to be very religious. Margaret was described as “ebullient”2 and as “a very loud and positive-thinking person”1 who often communicated in hyperbole2, was very opinionated, did not believe in feminism, and “tended to dominate most social situations”1,7-16.
Few photos of Margaret are available, as she was notorious for disliking having her picture taken. Missing person photos were forced to use her passport photo, as it was the most recent photo of her available. 1,3
In 1980 Margaret was working as a medical researcher at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. She was researching causes of hypertension (high blood pressure).1,2,3
About Nantucket6
Nantucket is an island off Cape Cod in Massachusetts, USA. It has a small year-round population with a large number of summevacation homes that sit vacant during the winter. In 1980 Nantucket had approximately 6000 year-round residents (which increased to 30,000 during the summer).1 The Tom Nevers neighborhood is on the south end of the island. It has dense areas of shrubbery/scrub brush that can be difficult to search even in the winter. In 1980 Nantucket was accessible by ferry, small plane, and private boat.1,6
Margaret purchased property on Nantucket in August 1970, in the Tom Nevers neighborhood, later building a 1400 sq ft house3. She visited the island consistently and was known to the airport staff, ferry staff, and year-round residents. However, she had few close friends on the island. She frequently took long walks and enjoyed working on her house.
Margaret’s Professional Life
Margaret did not work as a physician treating patients. Instead, she focused on a niche (at the time) area of medicine, adolescent hypertension1,2,3. Chronic hypertension leads to organ damage over time, and there was a big push to find effective treatments for hypertension. In 1979 she partnered with neurologist Dr. Earle Zimmerman and they received a grant from the NIH to study angiotensin II. Margaret has at least 50+ academic journal articles credited to her on topics of cardiology, heart failure, and hypertension.
January 1980
Early January - Margaret and her research partner, Dr. Zimmerman, successfully identify Angiotensin II in the brain of a rat. A notable finding that confirmed earlier research done in Iowa. There are plans to present the research at a conference in New Orleans in May, 1980.2
Mid January - Margaret makes comments to Leo and co-workers about her stature having risen among her colleagues, and that she expects they will win the Nobel Prize for their angiotensin II discovery.1,2
January 21st - Margaret speaks to Leo on the phone. The conversation lasts for 90 minutes, and Leo described it as “rambling”. Margaret tells Leo “I’m now in the position to win the Nobel Prize” and “I’m in a position of nationwide power.”
She also tells Leo that she was concerned about office politics, and is worried some of her colleagues may expect her to make a “play for power. She was concerned she would be taken off research work and felt that she was being given a “spiritual test.”1,2, 14 She tells Leo she has been receiving messages from his deceased wife, Julie and that his children are in “spiritual danger”1. She also expresses concern that she was being spied on at work, after receiving a call where no one was on the other end of the line1,2,14. She also said that she could tell colleagues respected her more now because of how they tilted their head1,2 She tells Leo about her plan to open a lab on Nantucket, “away from the office politics.”1,14
Margaret recorded her side of this conversation, and the recording was found in her house on Nantucket. Margaret’s behavior on the phone worries Leo enough that he makes arrangements to leave Canada and meet Margaret on Nantucket.1,2 Leo told the police he was worried enough he planned on talking to Margaret about getting mental health care.1
January 23rd - Morning - Margaret heads to Massachusett, leaving from her office at the hospital. The drive from Manhattan to Hyannis (airport and ferry terminal for Nantucket) is approximately 4-5 hours depending on traffic. She sees Dr. Zimmerman before she leaves, telling him that she thinks they are going to win the Nobel Prize. Dr. Zimmerman tells her that he isn’t sure they’ve made quite that big of a breakthrough.1,2
January 23rd - Afternoon - An Avon executiveD leaving work encounters Margaret in the parking lot of her Connecticut office building. Margaret appeared flustered and told the Avon exec that she was trying to get to Nantucket and got lost. The Avon exec agreed to help and had Margaret follow her to a hotel on Route 95. Margaret insisted the Avon exec dine with her. During dinner, Margaret dominated the conversation which covered multiple topics. She ordered a $70 bottle of wine and then gave it away1,2 (Equivalent to $250 in 2022 dollars). When Margaret learned the waitress had studied psychology, Margaret offered her a job at a research lab she planned on establishing on Nantucket1,2
January 23rd/24th - Overnight - Margaret had gone straight to dinner upon arriving at the hotel. By the time they finished dinner around 1 am the hotel had no available rooms. The Avon exec offered to let Margaret stay at her home for the night. Margaret followed her home and they both went to sleep around 0130. At 0530 the Avon exec woke up to find Margaret already gone, meaning she’d received less than 4 hours of sleep. Margaret called the Avon exec later the morning of the 24th and explained that she’d only been sleeping 1-2 hours a night and had decided to get an early start.1,2,3,4
January 24th - Afternoon - A friend of Margaret’s, Don Smith, notices she is home when he is driving home from work. He stops to say hello. During their 3-hour conversation, she tells him “I have wonderful news from God”1 and that she is planning on making God her number 1 priority, and Don her number 2 priorityD. She made comments about jumping off the Empire State Building if God asked her to.
Smith later tells police that Margaret did not sound depressed, but he had a hard time following Margaret’s conversation. He also told them he was worried about Margaret but felt relieved when he found out Leo was meeting her on Nantucket. Specifically saying “Leo was a very busy man….and I figured he wouldn’t be coming down unless he knew she needed help.”1
January 25th - Morning - Margaret goes shopping at the A&P grocery on Nantucket. She buys everything in sets of three. She tells the A&P staff that she is going to be holding a party/press release on Nantucket sometime between Feb 4th and 6th, and needs to stock three houses for all the guests8. She spends $650 at the A&P on groceries (equivalent to $2,300 in 2022 dollars). Separately she spends $250 on alcohol4. (equivalent to $890 in 2022 dollars). The A&P staff tell police that Margaret’s purchases were “sensible”.1,2
January 25th - Late Morning - Margaret calls 2 cabs to take her groceries home1,4. While in the cab she tells the cab driver about her press release and that she was going to establish “a major research lab” on Nantucket.1,2
January 25th - Unk time - Leo arrives on Nantucket from Canada1,2
January 25th - Evening - Margaret eats dinner at home with Leo and two friends, Nantucket residents Richard and Grace Coffin. According to Leo, during dinner, he had to “beg” Margaret to be quiet, as she was talking so much that no one else could join the conversation1,2. The friends leave around 10:30 pm1. Margaret goes to bed soon after, asking Leo to wake her for church at 6amF. This was the last time she was ever seen.1,2
Disappearance
January 26th - 6am - At 0600 Leo hears Margaret’s alarm go off. He did not check on her then, as he felt it would be good for her to sleep in. Around 0645am Leo goes to check on Margaret. Her bedroom is empty. Her coat is in the closet, but her passport and wallet are missing. Her bicycle and island car are still at the house (her mainland car was later found parked near the airport to Nantucket7,9). Leo calls several friends to make sure no one else had picked up Margaret to take her to mass.1,2
January 26th - 0715 am - Leo calls the police and reports Margaret missing. A search starts “within an hour”1
Note: The temperature the morning Margaret disappeared was below freezing, and it had been all week. A small plane assisting with the search crashed after it became too cold for the plane to properly operate.
Investigation
January 26th - This was the first day of work for Nantucket’s new police chief, Paul Hunter. He was relocating from Maine and had concerns about being accepted by the locals, who could be unwelcoming to off-islanders. He arrived several hours after Margaret had been reported missing. The department's second in command, Captain George Rezendes, was leading the search.
When Chief Hunter arrived on Nantucket around 1 pm 50 people were involved in the search for Margaret, including the island’s police officers, firefighters, and other volunteers. The Coast Guard had sent a helicopter to help search. A junior police officer briefed Chief Hunter when he arrived, telling him “a woman was apparently suffering some nervous problems and perhaps had snapped during the night.” Chief Hunter decided against taking over the investigation, as it sounded like everything was under control and he did not want to step on toes1,2
January 27th - George Rezendes meets with Paul Hunter, filling him in on the status of the search. Both the new chief and his second in command agree Margaret had likely walked into the ocean and died. Per Rezendes there was no sign of a struggle at the Kilcoyne home, she had not been seen on any of the ferries leaving the island, nor was her name listed as a passenger on any of the flights out. Chief Hunter continued to let Rezendes run the investigation.
When searching the Kilcoyne home Rezendes found the recording Margaret made of her conversation with Leo on January 21st. The police had the 1(one) psychologist on all of Nantucket listen to the tape. He advised them the tape was “rambling” and ‘could be a form of a suicide note’1
January 28th - The official search is called off, however, volunteers continue to search and Rezendes checks the beach for Margaret’s body every morning that week.1
January 29th - Two people report seeing a woman matching Margaret’s description near an elementary school on Cape Cod. They tell police she asked for directions to the Hyannis airport so she could fly to Nantucket. The car she was driving had Maryland license plates.10
Feb 3rd - Morning - 4 tourists walking their dogs call the police, reporting they found Margaret's wallet, passport, sandals, and checkbook “stacked” in a frozen swamp1,4. The swamp is approximately 1-2 miles from Margaret's house1,8. Paul Hunter takes over the investigation after these items are found. The fire chief at the time insisted the area had been previously searched without anything being found3. However, Chief Hunter and at least one local dismissed this, pointing out that the area had tall grass and the people searching that area were local volunteers with no training.2,8
After the items are found the police re-start the official search, focusing on the swamp.
Feb 3rd - Afternoon - A size 16 long-sleeve brown blouse is found under some shrubs 150 yards away from the location of the wallet and other belongings. The blouse was reported to have been ‘inside out’ and ‘rolled up’. Investigators believe someone placed the blouse there, due to its location under the shrubs. 1,4 The blouse was shown to Margaret’s friend from dinner on the 25th. He said he didn’t think he’d seen her wear that particular blouse and that it also looked to be too big for her.1 They end the search when it gets dark.
Feb 4th - A volunteer pilot and police officer searching from the air have a close call after the plane’s engine shuts down due to the cold weather and they are forced to make an emergency landing.1 The search of the swamp is ended that night, after Chief Hunter felt that they had covered all possible ground.1
Feb 5th - Chief Hunter listens to the recording of Margaret’s January 21st conversation with Leo. He felt she spoke “rationally” and “precisely”, although she dominated the conversation and Leo barely spoke the entire 90 minutes.1 She does not pause for more than 8 seconds at a time during the entire conversation.3
Late Jan/Early Feb Reporters contact Columbia-Presbyterian for a statement. Chief Hunter feels the hospital’s response is “unusual”, and that they “downplayed” the significance of Margaret’s angiotensin II discovery1. This leads to police speculation the hospital had something to do with her disappearance1. Chief Hunter and Rezendes feel it is justified to search Margaret’s apartment in New York and speak with her co-workers.1
Feb 7th - A woman in Quincy, MA calls Nantucket police reporting that her new tenant is acting suspicious and she thinks the woman might be Margaret. Due to a storm preventing travel, the police ask Margaret’s brother John to drive to Quincy to see if the woman is Margaret. The woman would not allow police in her apartment, but John says that from the brief glimpse he got the woman was too short to be Margaret and her voice did not sound familiar.1
Feb 8th or 9th - Nantucket Officer Rezendes and town prosecutor Robert Mooney meet Leo at Margaret’s apartment in NYC. They find blouses that are the same size, brand, and style as the one found under the bush, but otherwise, there is nothing remarkable. Margaret’s co-workers tell the police that announcing a scientific discovery at a press conference on Nantucket would be unheard of. They explain that new discoveries are presented at conferences, and Margaret was well aware of the procedure. They also felt it would be unheard of for Margaret to deviate from accepted procedure so significantly.1,10
Feb 11th - An FBI agent calls Chief Hunter, explaining his daughter is an Avon executive who believes she met Margaret a couple of weeks prior. Chief Hunter makes arrangements for Rezendes and Mooney to travel to interview the woman, however, the police department does not have the money in the budget for a second trip.1
Note: The District Attorney’s office paid for the trip to New York. Chief Hunter contacted Leo asking if he would be willing to pay for officers to travel to Connecticut to interview the Avon exec. Leo refused, saying he was convinced his sister was dead and he had already spent money to fly to New York to let the police into Margaret’s apartment.1
Feb 11th/12th - Chief Hunter receives emergency travel funds from the city of Nantucket to pay for travel to CT to interview the Avon exec. Officer Rezendes and Prosecutor Mooney make the trip. She describes her dinner with Margaret, and through this interview, the police learn two new things. The first was that Margaret told the Avon exec she had a home and car in Boston. The second was that Margaret had collected the phone number of the Avon exec, the exec’s sister, and the waitress, promising them all jobs at her new lab. Margaret’s friends and family all deny any knowledge of a 3rd home and car in Boston.1,8
Sometime later Chief Hunter learns that Leo had found these phone numbers and had called the waitress, which he had never disclosed to the Nantucket police.1
Feb 12th - Chief Hunter receives a second phone call from the Quincy woman, who reiterates her belief the mystery tenant is Margaret. Chief Hunter gets approval to send Rezendes and Mooney to MA to follow up. Rezendes and Mooney show neighbors a picture of Margaret and "fifteen"12-14 of them identify Margaret as the mystery tenant. Rezendes calls Hunter to tell him that they have found Margaret. However, the Quincy police were able to get more information and determined that the mystery tenant was an entirely different woman with red hair.1
Unfortunately for Chief Hunter, he had called the 5 pm News as soon as he spoke with Rezendes, announcing live-on-air that they had found Margaret Kilcoyne. The additional information from the Quincy police came immediately after that, and Chief Hunter was forced to issue a retraction during the same live broadcast.1
Feb 14th/21st - In two separate articles the local newspaper reports that the only car registered to Margaret Kilcoyne in Massachusets is her car on Nantucket Island, and police have been unable to verify that she owns an apartment in Boston9,10
Feb/March - Chief Hunter is criticized for missteps with the news media and for the amount of money spent on the investigation ($10,000 or approximately $35,500 in 2022). Hunter starts using reporters to track down leads on the “mainland”.1,15
March 6th - Chief Hunter tells the local newspaper that he now believes Margaret is alive and is likely in a mental health facility on the mainland. He states that he is planning on “pressuring” the local District Attorney to open a grand jury or inquest11 Hunter indicates that he has changed his mind after police spoke with two anonymous friends of the Kilcoyne family who both stated Margaret sounds perfectly normal on the March 21st recording, and that she always spoke in a fast and grandiose manner. In the same article Rezendes states that he thinks Margaret is dead. 1,11
March 12th - The local news reports that a local pond was dredged and two cadaver dogs were brought in, without results.1,12 However, this is contradicted by a 2016 report3 which says documents in the police file say cadaver dogs “hit” on a wall in Margaret’s bedroom. A later investigation with luminol showed fluorescence along that wall, the floor, the bathtub, and in the sinks.3
In the March 12th article Chief Hunter complains that Leo never calls the department to inquire about the investigation, and usually does not return the department’s calls. He suggests he cares more about Margaret than Leo does. 12
March 20th - Local news reports that Leo’s lawyer has been in contact with the police, reiterating Leo’s belief that Margaret died by suicide and that the police department is making a spectacle of her death. Leo agrees to provide dental records and phone records but declines to return to Nantucket to be interviewed by police.13
Spring/Summer 1980 - The reporters working with Chief Hunter track flights from Jan 24th, obtain phone records, and call 40+ mental health facilities in an attempt to find Margaret. A reporter also hires a psychic, who says Margaret was murdered and buried on the island, which causes a mild panic among island residents. A helicopter search is performed again.1,15
May 1980 - Dr. Zimmerman presents the research findings at the conference in New Orleans. Margaret does not appear. The research is deemed good, but not anywhere near Nobel Prize worthy.1
Later Developments
June 1980 - Leo files a petition to be granted control of Margaret’s estate, stating that she has bills and other obligations that need to be paid. There is no Boston apartment or car listed in the petition. The court grants the petition.3,16
December 1980 - Nantucket police receive two reports of a hitchhiker in Maine who resembles Margaret and was asking to get to Canada. They were unable to follow up on the reports.17
Summer 1981 - Leo sells Margaret's house to himself, paying fair market value for it.
January 1989 - Leo files a petition to have Margaret declared legally dead. The court grants the petition. Margaret’s estate is worth approximately $200,000 ($710,000 in 2022). The police department still has Margaret’s personal effects that were found in the swamp.3,5,17
June 1992 - Leo is killed in a car crash in Massachusetts.5
1993 - Ownership of Margaret’s house is transferred to Leo’s children after his death.
Unk Date - Per a 2016 report it was discovered a “light aircraft” had left Nantucket early the morning of the 26, and the police had been unable to identify the owner, pilot, or occupants. This contradicts the 1980 reports which state all aircraft were accounted for, either by police or reporters.1,3
Theories
There are three main theories about what happened to Margaret, all dating from within a month of her disappearance; Suicide, murder, and being secreted away for mental health treatment.1,2,3
A fourth theory, that she had deliberately disappeared to prevent her research from being stolen has been largely debunked. It was discovered Margaret had left all her papers in Nantucket and then did not appear at the May medical conference where her research was presented10
In the hours immediately after her disappearance, Nantucket police theorized that she had died by suicide after walking into the ocean, or had died of exposure. From early on, Leo agreed with the theory that Margaret died by suicide.1,2 An April 1980 profile on Margaret2 also theorized she died of suicide after experiencing mania, which had gone unrecognized and undiagnosed due to her outgoing and boisterous personality. About a year before Margaret's disappearance a Nantucket man had disappeared, his body washing up ~3 months later. It was determined he died of suicide by walking into the ocean1,3
When interviewed in 20163 several people who were involved in the investigation told the press they felt Margaret had left the island for mental health treatment, either under her own free will or after being forced by Leo. Rezendes admitted he had regularly checked the death certificates in Worcester, where her mother and brother lived.
By 2016 Margaret’s research partner, Dr. Zimmerman had come to believe that she was showing very early signs of dementia, which can present with mania-like behavior years before the onset of memory loss.3
Rosie Ruley, a Nantucket resident has been researching the case for a book. She is suspicious of Leo and how quickly he accepted Margaret died of suicide. Other people have expressed suspicion of Leo due to how quickly he left the island after Margaret disappeared and his phone call with the waitress that he never disclosed to the police.3
My personal theory I personally lean towards suicide/self-inflicted death. I think the case laid out in the April 1980 profile does a good job of explaining why someone who is not depressed may still end up dying by suicide. I think there is a plausible but remote chance that Margaret was taken off island for mental health treatment. There were very few women cardiologists in the 1980s. I think it is possible Margaret/Leo felt that disappearing would be less damaging to her reputation than having it become public knowledge she was in a psychiatric facility. I don't think Leo expected there to be so much media coverage of Margaret's disappearance. I think there is a 0% chance Leo murdered her. I don't find the luminol reports reported in 2016 very credible.
Current Status
As of June 2022 Margaret is still missing. At the time of this write-up there is no listing for Margaret Kilcoyne in NAMUS. Per a 2016 article, the original case file was destroyed/lost sometime in the 1980s, although incomplete copies still exist.3 However, a 1989 article from the local Nantucket paper indicated that Margaret's personal effects (passport, sandals, shirt, etc) were still in the possession of the Nantucket police. It is unclear when the case file was lost/destroyed.
It is unclear if Margaret was never entered into NAMUS or if she was entered and then removed at some point. Because of this, there is no available list of rule-outs.
   
Notes:
A - I’ve been unable to find her exact date of birth. Sources alternate between saying she was 49 and 50 at the time of her disappearance.
B - Little is available about her early life. Leo was the family spokesperson and next of kin and is the only family member mentioned in most articles about her.
C - The Charley Project lists her height as 5’0”. The profile by Gary Holmes lists her height as 5’9”. Various other sources list her as 5'8", 5'10", and as being "tall". I believe the 5’9” height is the most correct height.
D - The name of the Avon executive has never been publicly released.
E - None of the available sources indicate that Margaret and Don were anything more than platonic friends.
F - I’m not sure why she was attending church on a Saturday. Catholic churches sometimes have Saturday mass in the evening, but not usually in the morning. It is possible she attended a church with a different denomination while on the Island.
G - Gary Holmes was also a writer for the local Nantucket paper.
H - It appears the website for source 3 was updated after I posted this write-up. I've added a link to the Wayback machine archive of the page.

HYANNIS – The Barnstable Police Department has recently received another report of patrons at a local bar feeling the effects of possible “date rape drugs”. Although there have been no assaults reported at this time, members of the Barnstable Police Department have been actively investigating these incidents. As a result of the ongoing investigation, information has been developed that the method of ingestion of these drugs may not just be drinks, it is possible that the substance is being delivered via altered “vape” cartridges. Based on this new information the Department is urging individuals that are gathering in social settings to not only keep a close watch on their beverages, but to also avoid sharing or using “vape” cartridges from unknown people. If you have any information regarding individuals or establishments selling or distributing altered “vape” cartridges please contact Detective Andrew Johnson at [email protected], Detective Spencer Jackson at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), or the Barnstable Police Detective Unit at 508-778-3820.

2022.01.31 23:27 GhostOfBearBryant Death At Dike Bridge - In 1969 Senator Ted Kennedy testified that he left a woman to drown while he went to a hotel and went to sleep, then he changed his story several times and got caught in numerous lies. What really happened that night?

Deputy Sheriff Christopher Look only registers half the license plate before the black 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 skids off, leaving behind a cloud of dust. Inside is a man and a woman and they’re now barreling a narrow dirt road in the dark of night. After less than a minute they come up on a bridge. But the car is going way too fast.
An hour later, the driver senator Ted Kennedy is back at his hotel room, sound asleep. And the woman, Mary Jo Kopechne is still in the car at the bottom of Poucha Pond.
the video that covers the case is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaouXuAUNCI
THE CHAPPAQUIDDICK INCIDENT
On July 18, 1969 a group of political aids called the boiler room girls were attending a reunion party on Chappaquiddick Island, Marthas Vineyard, Massachusetts.
It had only only been a year since the assassination of Bobby Kennedy during his presidential run and after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 The future of the Kennedys political ambitions had fallen on the youngest brother Edward or ”Ted” Kennedy. The boiler room girls had been political advisors to Bobby Kennedy during his campaign but had now transfered their allegiances to Ted.
On the day in question Kennedy, along with his cousin Joseph Gargan and friends Paul Markham and John Crimmins who was Teds driver, had traveled to Edgartown on Marthas Vineyard to take part in the Edgartown Yacht Club regatta taking place on the 18-19 July. Later in the evening they were hosting a cookout on Chappaquiddick Island, a 500 foot ferry ride across from Edgartown.
After taking the black Oldsmobile Delmont on the ferry across to Chappaquiddick, Crimmins drove Kennedy down Dike Road and across Dike Bridge to Tom’s Neck Point were the senator had a quick swim, then they drove to Lawrence Cottage, a secluded house Gargan had rented to host the cookout and reunion party. There Kennedy changed clothes while Crimmins made him a rum and coca cola. Then the two traveled back across to Edgartown to compete in the Regatta.
Afterwards he made a stop at his hotel, the Shiretown Inn in Edgartown to change clothes before once again going to Chappaquiddick to attend the cookout.
THE OFFICIAL STORY
At 8:30 pm on the evening of July 18 the six boiler room girls arrived at Lawrence Cottage after leaving their hotel, the Katama Shores Inn in Edgartown. There they joined Kennedy, Gargan, Markham and Crimmins as well as Charles Tretter and Raymond LaRosa for a night of partying. They had hor d'oeuvres at 9:00 pm and Kennedy had another rum and coke and one third of a beer. Then they all sat down for a late dinner.
At 11:15 pm one of the Boiler Room Girls, Mary Jo Kopechne complained to Kennedy that she was not feeling well asked if he would drive her back to her hotel in Edgartown. Kennedy also wanting to leave but seeing Crimmins and the others still having dinner decided to drive her himself. They got in Kennedys black Oldsmobile and set off towards the ferry landing. Along the way Kennedy got confused and instead of following Chappaquiddick Road that veered to the left he took a hard right on to Dike Road. All of a sudden Dike bridge appeared in front of them, Kennedy slammed on the breaks and left a 33 foot skid mark on the ground. But it was too late and the car plunged into the water off the right side of the bridge and landed upside down at the bottom of Poucha Pond. Kennedy managed to get out but when he came up to the surface Mary Jo was nowhere to be found. Kennedy tried to dive down and rescue her but the current was too strong and he soon gave up laying exhausted on the grass beside Poucha Pond.
After recovering he walked back to Lawrence Cottage and summoned Gargan and Markham. The three men got in Markhams rented White Valiant and drove down to the ferry landing. But it was past midnight and the last ferry ride off the island had left. All of a sudden Kennedy jumped into the water and swam the 500 feet across to Edgartown. He then walked back to his hotel, got into bed and went to sleep.
This was Kennedys first statement about what happened that night.
THE NEXT DAY
At 8:20 am the next morning a teacher and his student who were going fishing at Tom’s Neck Point spotted a submerged car resting on its roof in Poucha Pond, they quickly ran to nearest cottage and notified police. Edgartown Police chief Dominic James Arena was first on the scene. He tried to dive down and get Mary Jo out of the car but because of the strong current he wasn’t able to. Instead divers were called and John Farrar, captain of the Edgartown fire rescue unit arrived at 8:45 am. He was equipped with scuba gear and entered the water. He discovered Mary Jos body in the backseat of the car. Captain Farrar removed her from the vehicle while Police chief Arena went back to Edgartown after finding out that the car was registered to Senator Ted Kennedy.
Shortly before 10 am Kennedy and Markham walked into the Edgartown town hall where Police Chief Arena was stationed. Kennedy was told that his car had been found and immediately said that he had been the driver and requested a room where he could write a statement describing what happened. He then gave the statement to Police Chief Arena and instructed him not to share it until his lawyers had time to look it over.
Then he left along with Markham and immediately departed to his family home in Hyannis Port.
The media soon swarmed the the little town on Marthas Vineyard demanding answers. Kennedy wasn’t speaking to the press but Police chief Arena decided to release the statement to quell the crowd of reporters gathered outside Edgartown town hall. But instead of an explanation it raised more questions about Kennedys actions that night.
On July 22 Kennedy attended Mary Jos funeral. He had not been seen in public for four days and he was asked when he would make a statement and answered that he would do so at the appropriate time. During the funeral Kennedy was wearing a neck brace, something he had not been wearing before, and would not wear again.
THE OFFICIAL STORY EXPANDS
On July 25 Kennedys lawyers had negotiated a deal with district attorney Edmund Dinis and he plead guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after knowingly causing an injury, the least serious charge under the circumstances. The guilty plea meant Kennedy didn’t have to testify to what happened on the night of July 18. His statement was taken as fact. He was given a two month suspended sentence and one years probation since he had no prior criminal record, meaning he was free to go. But Kennedy did have criminal record. During his college years he was cited for reckless driving, racing to avoid pursuit, and driving without a license after racing away trying to escape police during a traffic stop.
The same day he plead guilty Kennedy, in an attempt to save his public image and political career, gave a speech on national television. The speech added a whole new part to Kennedys story, a part not mentioned in his original statement. He had now along with Gargan and Markham undertaken a second rescue attempt after walking back to Lawrence cottage. But the speech did not answer the most critical questions, why didn’t he reported the accident? (you can see part of the speech at 8:35 in the video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaouXuAUNCI)
The seemingly conflicting statement and the pressure from the media and the public prompted district attorney Dinis hold an inquiry to decide if Kennedy should be persecuted further.
THE OFFICIAL STORY CRUMBLES
Six months after the accident, and after multiple attempts by Kennedys attorneys to delay and stop it, an inquest was held and for the first time Kennedy was questioned about what happened on the night of July 18.
His official story was now that after leaving Lawrence cottage at 11:15 pm a time he had gotten after looking at Crimmins watch since he wasn’t wearing one himself he made a wrong turn on to Dike Road. He couldn’t explain why he didn’t follow the paved Chappaquiddick Road that veered to the left or why he didn’t recognize the change from paved road to dirt road. Because it was dark and there were no streetlight he didn’t see dike bridge until it was too late and crashed off the side of the bridge. He claimed to be unfamiliar with the road despite traveling down it and over the bridge earlier the same day.
He testified that he was going 20 mph but calculations using a fall formula based on the length of the skitmarks left behind, the speed had been closer to 35 mph. After getting out of the car, something he had no memory of doing, he made several unsuccessful attempts to dive down to the car and then walked back to Lawrence cottage to get help.
On his way he passed 7 houses which he claim not to have seen even though the lights were on in a few of them, so he didn’t call for help. He also passed the islands fire station, once again he didn’t call for help because he claim not to have seen it. Then he arrived back at Lawrence cottage where he summoned Gargan and Markham and told them what happened and demanded that they go back and try to rescue Mary Jo.
At 0:20 am They got into Markhams rented white Valiant and drove back to the scene of the accident. Kennedy got the time from looking at the clock mounted on the dashboard of the car. But this car didn’t have a clock installed on the dashboard.
After repeatedly diving into the water for what Kennedy estimated was 45 minutes the three men gave up and drove to the ferry landing. But the last ferry left at midnight and the time was now 1:30 am. After asking Markham and Gargan not to say anything to the other boiler room girls about the accident since he thought that they might risk death trying to save their friend if they found out, Kennedy dove into the water and swam the 500 feet across to Edgartown.
He then walked back to his hotel and changed his clothes and after trying to go to sleep he walked down to the hotel manager and complained to about a loud party at 2:25 am.
At 8:40 The next morning, Kennedy seemed cheerful and in good spirits talking to a couple, Mr and Mrs Richards outside his hotel room when Gargan and Markham approached him, they were noticeably stressed and agitated. Meaning they had heard about a car being found in Poucha Pond and somehow knew it was Kennedys car 5 minutes before the diver arrived at the crime scene and 15 minutes before the car was dragged out of the water and identified.
After pulling Kennedy into his room, the three men emerged 3 minutes later. Kennedy now mirrored the feelings of the other two and they left without saying goodbye. The three men then took the ferry over to Chappaquiddick Island shortly after 9 am but stayed at the ferry landing where Kennedy used a payphone to make several phone calls to his family lawyer Burt Marshall and his political strategist Dun Gifford.
Dun Gifford being on Marthas Vineyard with his private plane and pilot flew over Chappaquiddick at 9:20 am and when he flew over Dike bridge exclaimed to his pilot. ”There goes the Kennedy presidency”. He then allegedly called Kennedy back on the payphone.
At 9:30 the three men took the ferry back to Edgartown without ever leaving the ferry landing. The ferry operator asked them if they had heard about the accident on the island and the three men said they just heard about it. Markham and Kennedy then went to the Edgartown town hall where chief of police Arena was stationed. Meanwhile Gargan went to the Katama Shores Inn to inform the rest of the Boiler Room girls what had happened to their friend Mary Jo.
During the inquest, serious doubts about Kennedys timeline was raised after Sheriff Deputy Christopher Look, who was stationed on Chappaquiddick Island, testified. His shift ended at 0:30 am and was driving down Chappaquiddick Road when he saw a black Oldsmobile parked on the side of the road. He read part of the license plate as L7 with the last number also being a 7. Look, thinking someone might need assistance stopped his police car and got out. As he was approaching he observed a man in the drivers seat and a woman in the passenger seat, but as he got closer the car suddenly sped off and drove down Dike road. The time was approximately 0:40 am. But by this time Kennedys car with the license plate L78 207 was already at the bottom of Poucha Pond according to his testimony.
Since Kennedy was first to testify during the inquest he never had to answer to any of the inconsistencies in his story. Why he walked passed all the houses and the fire station? How did he see the time on a clock that didn’t exist? Why didn’t he call for help? If He had planned on going back to Edgartown, why didn’t he tell anyone at the party before leaving? If Mary Jo had planned to go back to her hotel, why did she leave her purse and her hotel room key behind? Why his time of leaving the cottage at 11:15 didn’t match Deputy Sheriff Looks observations? How did they have time to make a second rescue attempt if Deputy Sheriff Look was correct?
If the crash happened at around 0:50 am, 5 minutes after Look observed the car, and he tried to rescue Mary Jo for 10-15 minutes, then he rested in the grass for a while and then walked back 1/2 mile to Lawrence cottage the time would have been around 1:45 am. Not enough time to make a second rescue attempt that lasted 45 minutes since he was back at his hotel in Edgartown and talking to the hotel manager by 2:25 am.
Kennedy needed the crash to be before midnight for two reasons. first because otherwise the timeline wouldn't allow for a second rescue attempt and secondly because if he left the cottage after midnight when there was no longer any ferry operating, it would have been obvious that he was cheating on his wife.
Another troublesome detail was the positioning of Mary Jos body. It had been found with her head pressed up against the floor in front of the backseat by Captain Farrar. He testified that this is were an air pocket was likely to have formed and based on the position of her body he theorized that she had not drowned but instead suffocated when there was no air left in the pocket. He explained that if this was the case she could have been alive for hours before suffocating and if he had gotten the call right away he would have had time to save her.
But because no autopsy was performed on Mary Jos we will never know exactly what killed her.
THE TRUE STORY (in my opinion)
Kennedy and Mary Jo were both intoxicated and planning to have sex, she left her purse and hotel room key behind because they were on going back to the cottage afterwards. They left Lawrence Cottage around 0:30 am and drove down the road and parked. All of a sudden a police car pulled up behind them. Kennedy being both married and a US Senator didn’t want to be caught drunk driving or cheating on his wife so he decided to speed off, as he had done in college.
He drove down Dike Road at 35 mph and came up too fast on Dike bridge. He tried to break but it was too late and the car plunged into the water. He got out of the car and dove down a couple of times to try to rescue Mary Jo. Then he decided to walk back to Lawrence Cottage. Because he was still drunk he passed the houses and the fire station without sounding the alarm as he knew he would be going to prison.
He quietly summoned Gargan and Markham and probably told them what happened but Kennedy assumed the car wouldn't be found at the bottom of Poucha Pond.
They then drove down to the ferry landing because the other boiler room girls would be questioning where Mary Jo was if he returned alone. Since no ferry was coming Kennedy decided to swim across. Then he then walked back to his hotel. After changing his clothes he walked down to the hotel manager at 2:25 am and claimed he had been awakened by a noisy party in order to establish an alibi for the night in case the car was found sometime in the future.
The next morning he was talking to Mr and Mrs Richards. He was described as cheerful, thinking he had gotten away with it when Gargan and Markham showed up to inform him that the car had already been found. Because of his political career, he made up the story about the second rescue to make it look like he made every attempt to save this poor girl.
Which he didn’t since he didn’t contact the police.
BERNIE FLYNNS THEORY
A popular theory of what happened proposed by Detective for the district attorneys office Bernie Flynn has Kennedy drunk driving and intending to have sex with Mary Jo, but after they drove away from Deputy Sheriff Look Kennedy, according to this theory, got out of the car because he didn’t want to get caught and Mary Jo then drove off alone. Kennedy then went back to his hotel and Mary Jo drove the car off the bridge by herself.
The circumstances that support this theory is the fact that Kennedy seemed unbothered the next day until he talked to Markham and Gargan, the fact that Mary Jo didn’t seem to have any visible injuries which was more consistent with sitting in the drivers seat and the fact that Kennedy didn’t remember how he got out of the car. However, an autopsy was never performed, so it's impossible to know the extent of Mary Jos injuries. Kennedy not remembering could be a sign of trauma or he could be lying since the is ashamed of the way he left Mary Jo behind. Him being unbothered could be him relieved that he got away with it, or simply being the type of person that did not care at all about this woman.
This theory doesn’t explain why Kennedy didn’t just walk back to the cottage and resumed the party after he got out of the car but instead chose to walk all the way to the ferry landing and then swam across to Edgartown. Kennedy’s statement to the police the day after also mentions the car being upside down in Poucha Pond, something he could not know unless he had been at the scene.
For the people who believe in this theory you have to explain one thing. Would the lawyer he called before making the statement advice him to A) Say he was driving and didn’t report the accident and open himself up to prosecution or B) say he wasn’t involved in the accident. Anybody that answers A should never be a lawyer.
