Death of Ethel Kennedy

[Douglas Caddy]

Robert Howard wrote on Facebook today:

I feel immense sadness upon hearing of the death of Ethel Kennedy this morning. I cannot think of another human being whom I admired more than her. She received the Eucharist daily and was very active in standing up for social justice and human rights. She also suffered through experiencing death and sorrow of losing family members. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and let the perpetual light of God shine upon her.

[James DiEugenio]

She is the last of that generation I think, is she not?

Ted, Bobby, Jackie, Jack, Jean, Eunice, Sargent Shriver,etc .

Its a milestone then if I am right.

A pretty decent obituary I think.

[Robert Morrow]

I went to a JFK assassination conference in November, 2022 in Dallas (JFK Historical, David Denton's) with a man who had gone on a cruise ship with the HAIRDRESSER OF ETHEL KENNEDY. One time this hairdresser asked Ethel Kennedy, circa 2010, who do think killed JFK and Ethel Kennedy's answer was "We all thought it was Lyndon Johnson."

My source, who interviewed Ethel's hairdresser on a cruise in January, 2015 wants to remain private for now.

Which, of course, is no surprise to me because Jackie Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Kenny O'Donnell and Evelyn Lincoln all immediately thought the same thing.

Blog post: Robert Morrow Political Research Blog: Ethel Kennedy, age 82, circa 2010 on WHO murdered JFK: "We all thought it was Lyndon Johnson."

[In November, 2022 I - Robert Morrow - interviewed a man (who lives in California), who had a very successful business career, and who met the longtime hairdresser of Ethel Kennedy on a cruise in January, 2015. This female hairdresser told him that Ethel Kennedy told her, circa 2010, when asked who killed JFK, "We all thought it was Lyndon Johnson."

This man prefers to be anonymous for now, but I have him on videotape and will release that video if and when he gives permission. This information from Ethel Kennedy is "hearsay" but hearsay is perfectly acceptable in the search for historical truth. It completely jibes with what Jackie Kennedy and Evelyn Lincoln, JFK's secretary of 12 years, thought about the JFK assassination in real time on 11-22-63: that Lyndon Johnson had just murdered JFK. Robert Kennedy obviously thought the exact same thing.] 

Ethel Kennedy told her hairdresser “We all thought it was Lyndon Johnson” who murdered John Kennedy. In January, 2015 Ethel’s hairdresser told this to _______ while they were on the Ruby Princess cruised in January, 2015. ______ told the Ethel Kennedy hairdresser anecdote to Robert Morrow in November, 2022 at the JFK Historical Conference in Dallas.

 Rob,

Just got David Denton's email about November.  I hope the visit with your Mom is going well!

I did some investigation and the meeting with the hairdresser (HD) was on the Ruby Princess, that sailed on January 24, 2015.  It was a week cruise and the dinner with her was the second or third night in.  It was a singles cruise with "Vacationstogo" and we had a large 100 or so group of singles.  I was with a couple people I already knew.  The group had multiple tables, and we were encouraged to mix it up each night.  I was in Dallas November of 2014 and was telling folks about my interest in the assassination.  Some lady said something the effect, "you should have sat with us last night, we were with a lady that has been doing Ethel Kennedy's hair for years".  I asked her to point her out for the next night's dinner, and sure enough, she did and I sat next to the hair dresser.

 I gained her confidence early on, but she was quite talkative as she was quite annoyed at Ethel's recent behavior of not having her payment, and, bringing unannounced people with her to do their hair.  She distinctly said she was owed "over $800" at that point, and told her the "accountant" would send her a check.  She had been doing the hair for Ethel for 15 years.

 We got into a discussion about how the very wealthy live in a different world than us, and does not realize that "$800 plus bucks" can mean a lot to us working folks. 

 TIME OUT!  Just noticed I'm running late, and this is to be continued.............

Best to your Mom,

 _______, I was worried about you medically because I had not heard from you. Yes, I would like to know about when the hairdresser told you this. Even better, I wonder what the hairdresser's name is. I know Ethel Kennedy is alive. Caroline Kennedy is awful on the JFK assassination and will not discuss a "conspiracy" at all. Robert Kennedy, Jr. has not figured out "LBJ Did It." I wish I could talk with the hairdresser or know her name. Maybe you could describe her physical appearance and ethnicity.

 I am going home to Alabama for a week June 18-25 to see my elderly mother. My cell phone 512-496-1293 is a number I can be reached anywhere.

Rob,

Sorry for the delay.  I got interested in pinning the cruise down, which will pin down the week and year.  It was a singles cruise out of Southern Florida, most likely, Ft. Lauderdale.  I have been on 40 cruises. By the way, Ethel Kennedy is still alive, and is 95. I have a busy weekend.  But, will pin down these dates, and be back in touch.

     This is Robert Morrow of Austin, TX. I met you at the JFK assassination conference last November in Dallas. Is everything okay with you medically? I tried to contact you several times at XXX-XXX-XXXX. My home landline number is 512-306-1510 and my cell phone number is 512-496-1293.

     I would like to talk with you about what Ethel Kennedy's hairdresser told you about Ethel's view on the JFK assassination - "We all thought it was Lyndon Johnson." I think this is extremely historically important because Jackie Kennedy and Evelyn Lincoln thought the same in real time and I am sure Robert Kennedy did as well.

     Please give me a call at your convenience to 512-306-1510 - it is CST time zone and my home in Austin, TX.

We all thought?  RFK initially suspected the CIA, your people did it to Mc Cone.  And in turn the Cubans if I remember correctly.

Robert Kennedy, who along with JFK, was attempting to completely destroy Lyndon Johnson to get him to resign the presidency, immediately thought Lyndon Johnson murdered JFK. And LBJ was very concerned that Robert Kennedy would take steps to keep him out of the White House.

Yes, RFK had a list of other suspects too, just like Evelyn Lincoln had a list of top suspects with Lyndon Johnson at the top of the list.

Evelyn Lincoln, JFK’s personal secretary of 12 years, on 11-22-63 listed LYNDON JOHNSON as her top suspect in the JFK assassination – listed in real time on the Air Force One plane ride back from Dallas

Web link:

 Evelyn Lincoln’s top suspects in the JFK assassination were, in real time, as she wrote them on the back of an envelope on the plane ride from Dallas, mere hours after the JFK assassination. 

1) LYNDON JOHNSON

2) KKK

3) Dixiecrats

4) Jimmy Hoffa

5) Richard Nixon

6) Diem

7) Rightist

8] CIA in Cuban fiasco

9) Dictators

10) Communists

11) John Birch Society

Arthur Schlesinger on Robert Kennedy being convinced at one point that Lyndon Johnson had murdered John Kennedy

 "We tried to perpetuate the myth by convincing ourselves that we were good and that LBJ was evil. I remember one time Bobby telling me he was convinced that Lyndon was behind his brother's death. 'Come on Bob. Get real.' I said. His other theory had it that Richard Nixon and Howard Hughes were somehow involved. He hated them both. 'Nixon's a true slimebucket,' he said. 'And I should have investigated Hughes years ago.'"

The forgotten Kennedy.

Joan Kennedy tried to stop her wedding to Ted Kennedy but her father insisted that she go through with it. Later as Joan was watching her own wedding video, she overheard JFK telling Ted Kennedy, paraphrasing, don't worry about getting married to Joan, you can still screw other women. And boy did Ted Kennedy take that advice to heart to the deep misfortune of Joan.

As in many marriages, Ted Kennedy's rampaging adultery fueled the alcoholism of Joan Kennedy, which really kicked into high gear after Chappaquiddick in summer, 1969.
