There are two schools of thought about Chappaquiddick: liberalsgenerally tend to ignore the subject and resent any mention of it, andconservatives believe that Teddy was directly responsible for the deathof Mary Jo Kopechne and lied about it, and the “liberal” media helped tocover up his crime. The facts suggest a third alternative: Chappaquiddickrepresented the political assassination of Edward Kennedy, orchestrated bythe same forces responsible for the deaths of John and Robert Kennedy.

The trial of hapless Timothy McVeigh shared many things in commonwith the “trials” of other scapegoats from the past. Like Bruno RichardHauptmann, James Earl Ray, and Sirhan Sirhan, McVeigh received ineptlegal representation. Stephen Jones presented almost no defense, restingafter only three and a half days and just twenty-five witnesses. Evenestablishment talking head attorney Alan Dershowitz would criticize theincompetent defense McVeigh received.

There is no question that, if John F. Kennedy Jr. had lived, he would havebeen a formidable political candidate. But his premature death prevented usfrom ever knowing if he indeed would have publicly confronted the deathsof his father and uncle, and other related issues.

George W. Bush’s legacy will always be defined by the events of September11, 2001, which provided him with something of a delayed mandate.Without 9/11, there would have been no unconstitutional Patriot Act, noHomeland Security Department, no decade-long occupation of Iraq andAfghanistan, and no open-ended “war on terror.” As such, it is important tolook closely at exactly what really happened on 9/11/2001.

Whether important policy decisions are made at Bohemian Grove or not,it is at the very least disturbing to know that our leaders are gathering togetherto worship a massive owl, dress in robes, and recite occult incantations.
