Op Mock, New Republic: RFK Jr., a "Compulsive Womanizer"

[Benjamin Cole]

This post will likely get moved or maybe I will get banned again. But really, this is too obvious. And JFK and RFK are mentioned too.

Evidently, the The New Republic wants to destroy the Kennedy legacy, to protect the CIA. Op Mock. 

This post is not about partisan politics. It is about the only candidate, and perhaps the only man in America who can open up the JFK Records. 

The Marilyn Monroe canard is re-excreted. 

But TNR did not call RFK Jr. a Nazi.

KENNEDY GENE

RFK Jr. Was a Compulsive Womanizer, and Yes, We Should Care

The presidential candidate might be the political outcast of his family, but he inherited his father’s and uncle’s disregard for women.

 

Europeans can no longer snicker about the American puritanical streak, the old litmus test for our politicians. Bill Clinton had an affair, and while Republicans were convulsed, America, after the initial shock, basically yawned. But then came Donald Trump, who proved the point conclusively. Billy Bush’s hot mic and the election of the pussy-grabber to the presidency exploded the myth. Today, even a guilty verdict in a sexual assault case doesn’t deny a man the leadership of one of the two political parties.

And this year, we have new proof that puritanism is dead. Coverage of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy suggests that problematic behavior with women as an electability issue is apparently a thing of the past for American men running for office. 

No reporter has yet asked the candidate or his campaign about stories of rampant womanizing, behavior that some believed contributed to his troubled wife Mary’s 2012 suicide. “Mary was a fabulous mother and, like all of us, a flawed adult whose problems stemmed from her husband’s conduct and her drinking, caused by specific stimuli, with Bobby—who could anger, frustrate, belittle her into taking a drink—as provocateur,” her divorce lawyer told The Daily Beast 2017.

Feminist writers, such as the terrific political journalists Rebecca Traister and Michelle Goldberg, have written extensively about Bobby Junior but not about his history with women. (Traister mentioned the issue in one sentence in a New York magazine cover article.) Even The New York Times, winner of a well-earned Pulitzer for the #MeToo Harvey Weinstein takedown, produced a story about Kennedy’s current wife, beloved Larry David co-star Cheryl Hines, apparently without asking about the elephant in the room. The Times published a standard-issue political wife article with no mention of the sordid side. “And it seems clear he will need Ms. Hines,” the Times wrote, “who is in the unique position of being more recognizable to some voters than her candidate husband, to help soften his image for those put off by his crusade against vaccines and history of promoting conspiracy theories, such as the false narrative that Bill Gates champions vaccines for financial gain.”

While her husband raves about the United States pushing “the Ukraine” into war, Hines has always stayed on message. “We share the same values. Family first,” she told the New York Post before they got married.

The Post matters here. The Murdoch paper is the chief source on details of the womanizing, and journalists tend to steer away from its reporting unless verified elsewhere. Occasionally, though, it produces actual tough journalism, and it did so shortly after Mary Kennedy died, when a friend of hers gave the tabloid two diaries, dated 2001, kept by Bobby.

The documents—which neither Kennedy nor his lawyer ever denied were his—total 398 pages, each with a “ledger” in the back, on which he listed 37 women by first name only and ranked them with numbers one through 10. Like a kid in high school, Kennedy used the numbers to represent “how far” they had gone toward sexual intercourse. One entry logged three women in a day. 

A source who has seen the diaries said: “What was interesting was that he portrays himself as a victim in all of the encounters with women. He was ogling after women in the environmental movement.”

He blamed the women, calling the sex acts “muggings.” In one entry, he recorded he “narrowly escaped being mugged” by a team of two women. “It was tempting but I prayed and God gave me the strength to say no,” he wrote. In a May 21, 2001, entry, according to the Post, he wrote that he “got mugged on my way home” from Manhattan and included the name of a woman with a 10 next to it.

The diaries served as a kind of confessional for the Catholic scion, heir to the family sex-addiction gene. “My greatest defect,” he wrote, was “my lust demons.” He had decided to “avoid the company of women. You have not the strength to resist their charms.” 

Kennedy spent a month in prison in Puerto Rico (after an arrest for trespassing on American military grounds in a protest against Navy bomb exercises). He consoled himself by recording that being locked up prevented further womanizing. “I’m so content here,” he wrote in a July 2001 diary entry quoted in the Post. “I have to say it. There’s no women. I’m happy! Everybody here seems happy. It’s not misogyny. It’s the opposite! I love them too much.” 

His campaign did not reply to a request for comment.

Besides the diary, Mary Kennedy also shared her husband’s phone contacts with the same friend, with the names of 43 women stored under the letter “G,” which his late wife believed stood for Goomah, an Italian idiom for mistress. The women were far-flung. Paris, Miami, Toronto, Aspen, Montreal, Cleveland, and Pensacola.

Junior was a tragic, fatherless 14-year-old pallbearer at his father’s funeral in 1968. He succumbed to a heroin addiction, which he conquered, to graduate into libertine adulthood occupying himself with boating, falconry, playing capture the flag on sweeping lawns, and women. 

Now entering American politics with a storied name at a critical moment, with the nation desperate for responsible leaders, he says whatever the hell comes to mind, from suggesting Covid-19 was ethnically targeted to spare the Chinese and Jews to praising Putin, to promoting medically unsound advice and conspiracy theories about vaccines.

RFK Jr. doesn’t appear to have inherited the political savvy of his father or uncles, but he does carry a common trait with respect to women. Bobby Jr. was the third of Robert F. Kennedy’s children. His father was known as the most straitlaced of the Kennedy men, but even he found time to stray from Ethel, with whom he had 11 children. He burned through lovers, including actresses Kim Novak, Lee Remick, and most famously Marilyn Monroe.

Uncle Jack—JFK—was what psychology might today call a sex addict. White House aides shuttled interns, movie stars, and Washington socialites in the White House front door and out the back in time for the next one. His lovers included East German spy Judith Campbell Exner, Mary Pinchot Meyer (about whom I wrote a book), a plethora of interns, friends of his wife, and, yes, Monroe.

In RFK Jr.’s own generation, cousin Michael Skakel served more than 11 years in state prison after he was convicted of the murder of Martha Moxley in 2002. She was 15 and had been flirting with his older brother the night she was bludgeoned and stabbed to death with a broken golf club. Skakel, freed on an appeal in 2013, used as his alibi that he was peeping in windows and masturbating at the time of the murder. 

Months before his cousin was released, Bobby Jr. wrote an article for The Atlantic proclaiming Skakel’s innocence. Under the headline,  “A Miscarriage of Justice,” he blamed an “inflamed media” and suggested his cousin’s tutor was a more likely suspect.

RFK Jr. never mentions his own womanizing in his 2018 memoir, American Values: Lessons I Learned From My Family. The sad disaster of his first marriage doesn’t get much ink either. 

Mary Richardson was a brunette beauty who bore him four children, then fell apart over his philandering, exacerbated by depression and drinking. They were still married but living apart in May 2012, and he was already dating Cheryl Hines when Mary hanged herself in a barn on her property in Bedford, New York.

RFK Jr. was first on the suicide scene after a housekeeper, despite a court order in the pending divorce case declaring the property hers, not his. This is relevant because he was legally not the owner of the property when he oversaw the police removal of her laptop and phone. Mary’s family hired a private investigator, but they never saw her electronics again nor a suicide note.

Her family also objected to burying her at the Kennedy cemetery in Hyannis Port at the Kennedy compound. They wanted her buried in New York, but Bobby prevailed. A few weeks after the burial, he had her body disinterred and moved to a different corner of the cemetery. He said he wanted her body in a newer part of the graveyard, but like Trump’s burial of Ivana on his golf course, the episode has sparked wild theories.

“It’s another shady Kennedy mystery,” said a source who has seen the diaries. “It could be just as he said; he wanted her to be closer to a nice hill. People in Westchester are still shaking their heads about that.”

Actor Billy Baldwin, a friend of Mary’s, unleashed a Twitter rant at RFK Jr. in April, when he announced his candidacy. “If Bobby were half a man,” Baldwin wrote, “she would still be alive today. It will all come out. His campaign will be over in weeks. If these walls could talk.” 

So far they haven’t. Or rather, they have, but no one seems to care. There are a few reasons why the media hasn’t paid much attention to the womanizing. First is the scion’s spew of bizarre positions and wacky statements, so Trumpian it constitutes a form of the Steve Bannon “flood the zone with dooky” strategy. Who cares about his private life when the man is comparing vaccine cards to regulations in Nazi Germany, calling the Covid vaccine “the deadliest vaccine ever made,” blaming “chemicals in water” for gender dysphoria, loving on Putin, and promoting the popular theory that the CIA killed his uncle JFK? 

The second reason for ignoring the alleged womanizing is the blasted, world-weary landscape with respect to candidates and women. In JFK’s time, of course, no journalist in Washington would have reported on a candidate’s sex life, even one as notorious as President Kennedy. That omerta had evaporated by the 1980s, with Gary Hart’s Monkey Business, followed by Bill Clinton’s Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky and the blue dress, and finally, the pussy-grabber’s election and his subsequent conviction in a civil sexual assault case. After the Borgian levels of depravity, the Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein cases revealed—Leon Black facing three rape accusations (which he denies), Jes Staley and Bill Gates humiliated, etc.—half the country is blasé and the other half takes on faith that powerful men rape and eat infants.

Last but probably not least, many journalists distrust the New York Post. But the reporter who acquired the diaries and other material, Isabel Vincent, is a serious investigative journalist who covered the Medellín cartel as South America bureau chief for Canada’s Globe and Mail. She is the author of seven nonfiction books, one on the trafficking of early twentieth-century Jewish women that won the National Jewish Book Award, and another on Hitler and Swiss bankers that won the Yad Vashem Holocaust History Award.

The diaries are old, and so is the man who wrote them: Who knows, it’s possible that Bobby Junior is a reformed man. But any other man at any other time would certainly be asked about this past. And so should he.

Re" RK, Probably sounds likely. Even though that information wouldn't be enough to make me not vote for him, If he wasn't so corporate and lame on the issues. Besides being deluded, or quaaluded at some critical times in his life.    heh heh

Look, the guys had enough problems in his life, that no one with a heart could pile on. But there should be concern among family members for  RK ruining the family legacy. It's obviously so powerful a legacy that even articles like these have never been able to derail it!

To use a baseball analogy. I thought the Kennedy legacy would start RK out at first base with his campaign, but in reality he started out somewhere between second and third and has been continually caught stealing ever since!

Op Mock!!! Total BS! Another forum example of invoking Operation Mockingbird, when the real answer is another  person with a profit motive. Which maybe if  Ben more understood, he wouldn't be picking rice now in Thailand!

 

heh heh a joke.

I'm glad the mods are more quickly shifting these topics to "Political discussions" where they belong. The only reason for Ben to keep posting this in the JFKA forum, is just his monster need for attention which the great majority of people are against, and only turns off new people who would come to the forum. for JFKA information.

Yeah, Kirk, MAGA Ben Cole continues to blame Operation Mockingbird for any negative press RFK. Jr. receives.

Ben found the Op Mock hammer, and now he thinks everything is a nail.

In the Donald Trump era, it's hard to imagine the public getting seriously worked up about any politician's sex life.

Private citizens like Hunter Biden are another matter.

Curiously, Ben has been dead silent about Marjorie Taylor Greene recently showing Hunter Biden d*ck pics on the floor of the House.

In other news, I've never heard MAGA Ben whine about the fact that Don Trump, Jr.'s home-busting girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle was fired by Fox for sexually harassing her assistant.  (Just another in a long list of Trump family sexual peccadilloes.)

The real kicker is that the MAGAs are crowing about Trump endorsing the new QAnon flick, Sound of Freedom, without realizing that Trump is a convicted sexual predator and old friend of teen sex traffickers Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

Compared to Trump, RFK, Jr. is practically a Puritan.

Funny, how someone who claims to be "Orthodox" will defend Hunter Biden's pictures of him having sex with a prostitute, and will slander a movie about stoping the sextrafficing of children as QAnon while bearing false witness against the former POTUS and attempting to link someone who said they don't support MAGA as being mAgA. The kicker and best part is; all while claiming be a moral authority LOL!! 

Guess you really aren't conservative!! ; )

Get a clue, Mathew.

You completely missed the point I was making about the MAGA/Ben Cole double standard here regarding media coverage of sexual peccadilloes.

Ben is morally indignant about press coverage of candidate RFK, Jr.'s sexual history, but said nothing about a MAGA Congresswoman showing d*ck pics of a private U.S. citizen (Hunter Biden) on the House floor, or the fact that Don Trump, Jr.'s home-wrecking girlfriend was fired by Fox News for sexually harassing her assistant.

As for Operation Mockingbird, where were they before the 2016 election, when the public really needed to know about P*ssy Grabber Trump's sexual assault history and his extra-marital flings with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal?

Finally, my point about the film, Sound of Freedom, is that teen sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell's old buddy, Donald Trump, is the last guy on the planet who should be preaching about the evils of teen sex trafficking.

Trump is a guy who used to walk unannounced into the girls' dressing rooms at his teen sex pageants-- and he has also been accused of having sex with underage girls.  He has also made frequent sexual comments about his own daughter, Ivanka.

In other words, my (above) comments weren't about sexual mores per se.  They were about MAGA hypocrisy.

You need apologize to Ben, go to confession and sin no more like it says you are supposed to. Mr Niederhut

Apologize for what, Mathew?  Telling the truth?

What "sin" are you referring to?  Do tell.

Meanwhile, my spiritual advice for you (and other MAGAs) is to focus on your own sins.

If you are interested, I can list some rather glaring examples of GOP hypocrisy about sexual peccadilloes.

Friends:

This post examines what sure looks like part of a pattern of virulent (to put it mildly) anti-RFK Jr. articles appearing in the media. 

This is not about partisan politics. In fact, the TNR does not even mention policy or politics---RFK Jr.'s stance on any issue is simply unaddressed.

Perhaps my suspicions are off base. This string of articles reflects something else, not a semi-coordinated jihad against RFK Jr. 

Although I should not need to say it again, but I will say it again: I am not a D- or R-Party or Trump supporter. 

I am an RFK Jr. supporter, largely on the single issue that he may be the only person in America who can open up the JFK Records. 

That issue, I would think, would loom large for the EF-JFKA community and trump partisan politics. 

What other candidates, with reasonable prospects or even longish odds of becoming president, are you sure will open up the JFK Records?

When this silly thread was placed in the "Political discussions" forum. It  actually spawned another Ben "How to find political discussions "thread", Roger then injected himself into the discussion and defended this thread here, while never even reading it.

i pointed this out, yesterday and unembarrassed,Roger actually posted the completely irrelevant post below, this morning. Sandy then wisely shut the thread down just 2 minutes before I responded. Here is my response below. And Ben and Roger probably still haven't been able to find their their way to this thread!

Roger:

Following the RFK campaign as he tries to revive the point of JFK's peace speech and reopen the JFKA is not about opposition to Joe Biden, Sandy. In other words to do so is not merely "political",  though of course politics has to be involved.  It's about the purpose of this forum.

Whether or not Junior makes it to the White House is not the point.  The interest in the JFKA that Junior has stirred up is obvious.  For one thing, people are actually discovering the peace speech and maybe even starting to connect the dots. 

Few things are more important to this forum than that.

 

 

Oh come Roger , You were too lazy to even take the time to find out what this thread is about. This not remotely connected to JFK's speech. By that scrimpy criterion, the RK spamming would go on like it did a month ago on this forum.

  This thread is like a Ron de Santis journal burning Ben Cole diatribe against freelance writers who don't agree with him,  and painting all their actions as Operation Mockingbird and you were too lazy to even come here and see what was going on, and now you're just continuing your months long filibuster to the mods for front billing, because you want attention but are not prepared to give the commensurate substance. But if you are,come here to the  "Political discussions". It's that simple!

 

How To Find "Political Discussions"?

 

That's not to mention that this is a silly needless thread that could have been done with a simple PM to the mods, but that wouldn't suck enough attention!.
