When Karma Strikes......
Barely six months after the murder of his brother President John Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy, a longtime Massachusetts politician, was badly injured in a plane crash. He was saved from a grisly death when Senator Birch Bayh pulled him from the wreckage.
Sadly, some years later, Kennedy was not able to duplicate the courage of Mr. Bayh and save his female 'companion' after his drunken car crash on a private road on a private Cape Cod island, after leaving a private party.
He abandoned the lady in a submerged vehicle where she drowned after he got out without a scratch, walked home, and fell asleep - sans the human decency to call the police.
He was lightly slapped on the wrist for his crime, and never served even 5 minutes in jail. (It has been told to me by reliable sources, that on Cape Cod, for many years, the police were told to never arrest a Kennedy, no matter what they do. The cops were told to simply and quietly drive them home - regardless of their transgressions.)
There are those who claim that Teddy's evil deed did bring punishment, if not on him, then on his family. They claim that his act, which they term cowardly and heartless, resulted in a deepening of a curse that has plagued the Kennedy clan for generations.
Karma's assault on the K clan appears to have started with Teddy Kennedy's father, old Joe Kennedy. He was a criminal during the days of prohibition, and built a vast fortune in the illegal manufacture and distribution of whiskey and beer. Many people were prosecuted and sent to jail for decades for similar crimes, but old Joe Kennedy was not one of them.
Among the actions which people question is the harsh, horrendous punishment Old Joseph forced on his daughter Rosemary. He directed a team of 'doctors' to bang an icepick through her eye-socket and into her brain. This discredited procedure was termed a 'lobotomy' which for a time was thought to be beneficial to some patients. It appears as though Rosemary's problem was chiefly that she liked boys too much - although the clan never minded when the Kennedy boys liked girls too much.
It is said, and apparently from reliable sources, that the Kennedy brothers, John who became President, and brother Bobby, used to share 'girls' in the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue in the district of Columbia. It is said that Marilyn Monroe was among the group of 'fillies' with whom the Brothers Kennedy philandered.
After her gruesome ice-pick lobotomy, young Rosemary Kennedy became a vegetable and existed in a marginal state of awareness for decades in an asylum.
For these and various other reasons, Karma may have taken a dislike to the K clan. Over the last 80 years or so the family has been engulfed in a number of murders, strange deaths, lawsuits, fatal plane crashes and much, much more. It's called Karma's 'Kennedy Curse' and the story continues......
you could look it up.
Here's a brief glance at some of Karma's work on the Kennedy family, some time ago, highly regarded as American Political Royalty...
The pride of the family, young Joe Jr. died on August 12, 1944 during the second world war. The plane he was piloting as a member of the United States Armed Forces exploded in mid flight. The cause of the blast is unknown and was termed accidental.
Four years later, Kathleen Kennedy perished in a plane crash in France.
In 1943 Lt. John Kennedy was in command of a PT boat which was destroyed in a collision with an enemy ship. Kennedy showed courage after the crash and helped saved the lives of his crewmen. He was left with injuries which caused him pain for the remainder of his life.
On August 9, 1963, the 20th anniversary of the sinking of his P T boat, John, who rose to become President of the U.S., lost his infant son Patrick at the age of two days. The boy succumbed to a respiratory illness.
A few months later, in November, John was ambushed and killed by rifle fire as he rode in an open Limmo through the streets of Dallas. His alleged killer, L. H. Oswald was ambushed and killed two days later by a strip club owner in the basement of the Dallas P.D.
In 1968 Bobby Kennedy was trying to become the second member of the clan to be elected President. He was shot on the very night that he won the Democratic Primary on the Left Coast in California. He died the next morning.
About 16 years later, one of Bobby's kids, 28 year old David Kennedy was vacationing in South Florida, when he died of a drug overdose in a rented hotel room in Palm Beach.
Another of Bobby's kids, Michael Kennedy died just after Christmas in 1997 in a skiing accident in Aspen Colorado on the Left Coast.
In July of 1999 John Kennedy Junior accidentally killed himself and two other people when he tried to fly a plane from New Jersey to one of the Cape Cod islands in bad weather.
There are dozens more examples, including a number of murders, of Karma's Kennedy Curse. There are enough to fill a book.
In fact, there are several that already have been written, including a pretty good one by the James Patterson book-making factory. Patterson's writing crew squeezed out 432 pages on demand from their chief, and the result was published in 2020. It's called 'The Kennedy Curse'.
Keep reading and keep watching....with the K Clan, there's always more to come.
