The Kennedys were the original crime family dynasty in American politics. A friend of mine whose grandfather was a wealthy industrialist told me a story about sometime during WWII, the government became aware of a threat to Fort Knox. They developed a secret mission with the heads of many large industries in the U.S. who owned armored transports to truck parcels of the gold to other secure locations for the duration of the war. The only truck that never reached its destination? Old Joe Kennedy’s.
Interesting story. Though I don’t think it very possible, considering Joe’s ways I find it plausible.
I’ve always believed that burying four of his children, two while he was catatonic and unable to grieve, was his temporal punishment...and then he met his Maker.
