FBI file links Kennedy to Monroe's death
The Sydney Morning Herald ^ | 3/17/2007

Posted on 03/16/2007 7:36:53 AM PDT by Mike Bates

For four decades there have been rumours that Marilyn Monroe's death was not a simple suicide. Now a Los Angeles-based Australian writer and director, Philippe Mora, has uncovered an FBI document that throws up a chilling new scenario.

BOBBY KENNEDY'S affair with the screen idol Marilyn Monroe has been documented, but a secret FBI file suggests the late US attorney-general was aware of - and perhaps even a participant in - a plan "to induce" her suicide.

The detailed three-page report implicates the Hollywood actor Peter Lawford, Monroe's psychiatrist, staff and her publicist in the plot.

The allegations suggest the 36-year-old actress, who had a history of staging attention-seeking suicide attempts, was deliberately given the means to fake another suicide on August 4, 1962. But this time, it is suggested, she was allowed to die as she sought help.

The document, hidden among thousands of pages released under freedom-of-information laws last October, was received by the FBI on October 19, 1964 - two years after her death - and titled simply "ROBERT F KENNEDY".

It was compiled by an unnamed former special agent working for the then Democrat governor of California, Pat Brown, and forwarded to Washington by Curtis Lynum, then head of the San Francisco FBI. Despite a disclaimer that it could not be sourced or authenticated, it was considered important enough to immediately circulate to the FBI's five most senior officers, including director J. Edgar Hoover's right-hand man, Clyde Tolson.

The report was in effect buried for decades as a classified document, and even the released version contains censored sections. Never before mentioned despite thousands of articles, books and documentaries about her death, it details aspects of Kennedy's on-and-off affair with the movie star, including sex parties and a lesbian dalliance. . .

Didn't Khalid Sheikh Mohammad confess to killing Kennedy along with all of his other confessions?

The Clintons went to the Kennedy school of "problem management."

If he did, Rosie didn't mention it. Odd.

That may be why RFK didn't fire Hoover.

Probably had a 'Mexican Stand-off' with RFK holding evidence of Hoover's homosexuality and Hoover having the dope on MM's death.

Unless this guy's evidence is VERY good, this is a totally classless thing to do, spreading rumors about the dead and all.

Should we now also suspect that Howard K Stern is RFK or Lawfords spawn with some woman other than Marilyn?

Why go to all that trouble? All Bobby had to do was set her up with a date with brother Ted.

"...Despite a disclaimer that it could not be sourced or authenticated..."

Well there are those that admit that JFK had an affair with Monroe but deny that RFK did. This recorded rumor does not shed much light on the RFK affair.

But the fact that the Prez had an affair with this little actress is quite the scandal.

The Kennedy family needs to make freinds with Sandy Berger.

I've never thought that RFK had the affair with her. It was JFK. And I don't believe that either one of them would have been involved with murder. They had plenty of faults, but I don't think this would have been one of them.
