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. . .

Just like his father, Joe with wife Rose and actress Gloria Swanson
Being "corrupt" in the usual sense and not hesitating to kill are different pathological characteristics.
I would agree that some individuals in politics fit both categories, most prominently the Clintons.
Naw. Cobain died from a 5.56mm round to the head. KSM would have beheaded him or used a 9mm.
Surveilance on Giancana was lifted for a short while. Just long enough for him to get whacked.
It's generally believed that Hoover had something nasty on every president from FDR through Nixon. It's a safe bet that he had the goods on JFK, even before the Monroe "suicide".
That part is fairly obvious, but just who did the whacking? Seeing that the FBI was doing the surveilance, I doubt that the Mob was in any position to ask them to go take a break for a few minutes..............
and to think Henry Lee Lucas was captured in Henrietta Tx.
While Lucas was a liar he was a serial evil killer
I seem to recall that the watchers were Chicago PD and they were called via radio to check out another incident. Would have to check the details but don't have the book here.
Hasn't there been a rumor to this effect for years? I think it surfaced within a year or two of her death.
"Not Paladin!" [alleged deviancy of Richard Boone and Peter Lawford]
Frankly, I always thought there was something a little funny about Paladin's skin-tight black outfit, hat, holster, and boots, with silver concho and chesspiece accents. The Gucci label was not apparent, tho.
;^)
Yes, I've heard and read plenty of strange things about Monroe's death, but nothing that convinced me that RFK took an active part in it. Anything's possible, though, I know.
book
Not only being rammed but being in a high performance boat rammed by surprise. They either had a party going on with some native women or, were laying out on the deck sound asleep.

Got that right! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
Actually, it was wifey who was trying to out do Rose in amount of children she had.
You mean those rumors about him and Hey Boy were true? Aargh!
Next thing, you're gonna tell me about why Hoss and Hop Sing were always hangin' around together.
John Wayne and Lou Costello. It goes on and on.
And what goods they were: Inga Arvad, Pamela Turnure, Judith Campbell Exner, Angie Dickinson, Gene Tierney, Ellen Rometsch, etc., etc. etc.
