ROBERT FRANCIS KENNEDY

my dad heard this morning on a french radio show that there was a double agent that worked for both germans and brits during WW2… spy POPOV !!!

the show went on to say that popov was the original person to inspire the flemming character james bond (JFK as avid fan reader, popped to mind) – popov was asked by one camp to give info on the others artillery and the same was asked of him from brits on germans – who says germans, says italians and japaneses VS brits, americans, frenchs – anyways…

the best part was that hoover back then was contacted by popov who came across info of the high interest of japaneses about american artillery and fire weapon because they wanted to do a air strike on them……. you guest it……. PEARL HARBOR !!!

heres the cherry on top of the cake (no pun intended with my birthday) – hoover kept the info for himself and bashed popov for being a lunatic, anti-american for working both ways and he never alerted roosevelt about the plans that could one day see the light… hoover didnt want to be caught being in contsct with a double-spy so he kept his mouth shut…

hoover was pro-war republican but he feared that if those rumored plans were known, the potus whould deviate the financial aid he received for the fbi department on fighting commies, towards a defensive/preventive war and then hoover would lose the shine and spotlight he was under at that time (g-man).

now i dont know the veracity of the reporter/historian interviewed on that radio show, but im definitly looking into these events and characters because i would love to know if indeed hoover was a traitor, wuss and knew double-spies !!! can you imagine that pearl harbor could have been avoided and its all hoovers fault for not doing his american civic duty and report to potus ??? hell yeah, that story made my day <3

Operation Northwoods was a series of false-flag proposals that originated in 1962 within the United States government, and which the Kennedy administration rejected. The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or other operatives, to commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. One part of Operation Northwoods was to “develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington.”

Operation Northwoods proposals included hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government. It stated:

“The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere.”

Several other proposals were included within Operation Northwoods, including real or simulated actions against various U.S. militaryand civilian targets. The plan was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense. Although part of the U.S. government’s Cuban Project anti-communist initiative, Operation Northwoods was never officially accepted; it was authored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but then rejected by President John F. Kennedy.

None of the Operations Northwoods proposals became operational under kennedy administration because they refused such war-monger ideas.

C. David Heymann, a best-selling biographer whose titillating accounts of famous lives often were criticized as inaccurate or dishonest, including a book on heiress Barbara Hutton that was recalled because of factual disputes, died May 9 2012. He was 67.

Initially a poet and critic, Mr. Heymann wrote books on Ezra Pound and Robert Lowell before turning to popular biography with “Poor Little Rich Girl: The Life and Legend of Barbara Hutton” (1983).

The Hutton book had broad appeal, offering “minute reconstruction” of the life of the Woolworth dime store heiress, who was married seven times and died a nearly penniless recluse in a Beverly Wilshire Hotel suite in 1979. Featured by the Book-of-the-Month Club and excerpted in Vanity Fair, it immediately hit the bestseller list.

But shortly after the volume arrived in bookstores, a Beverly Hills doctor disputed Mr. Heymann’s depiction of him as having prescribed “excessive drugs” to Hutton as early as 1943. The doctor, it turned out, was only 14 in 1943 and did not start treating Hutton until 1969.

That dispute was one of many problems that surfaced about Mr. Heymann’s Hutton research, but it was enough to persuade Random House to recall and destroy nearly 60,000 copies of the 399-page book.

The scandal was far from the end of Mr. Heymann’s career, however. He revised the Hutton book and resold it to another publisher. It became the basis for a 1987 TV miniseries, with Farrah Fawcett as Hutton.

Mr. Heymann, who once told an interviewer that he liked to write in the nude, went on to produce six more biographies. They included the bestsellers “A Woman Named Jackie” (1989), about the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; “Liz: An Intimate Biography of Elizabeth Taylor” (1995); and “Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story” (2009), in which Mr. Heymann alleged that the former first lady and her brother-in-law, Robert F. Kennedy, commenced an affair months after her husband’s assassination. The books on Onassis and Taylor also were adapted for television.

Although some critics gave Mr. Heymann points for assiduous research and engrossing subject matter, others found major flaws, including his reliance on single sources giving accounts of important events they did not witness and on sources who could not be questioned because they were dead.

Controversy also surrounded his first two biographies. Critic Hugh Kenner charged that quotes in “Ezra Pound: The Last Rower” (1976) were lifted from an obscure Italian journal, and not obtained by Mr. Heymann, who said he had interviewed Pound before he died in 1972. Reviewers said serious errors were rife in “American Aristocracy: The Lives and Times of James Russell, Amy, and Robert Lowell” (1980).

“Obviously, I couldn’t continue to write literary biography and support a family,” he told the Hartford Courant in 1989. “I don’t mean to suggest I write just for money, but a person does have to make a living.”

As a teenager who would be lobotomized just a few years later, Rosemary Kennedy chronicled a life of tea dances, dress fittings and trips to Europe in diaries that her mother ordered tossed out with the trash.

But Rose Kennedy’s secretary didn’t listen. She hung on to the aging leather-bound journals and included them in a new book about her decade with the Kennedy clan.

Rosemary, has been living in obscurity in a Wisconsin convent school since the 1941 lobotomy. Her three meticulous diaries were written between 1936 and 1938, when she was 18 to 20 years old.

The diaries reveal no great secrets, but they do show that the third child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy led a full life.

“Walked with Peggy. Also went to horse races with her, and bet and won a dollar and a half. Went to the English Movie at five. Had dinner at 8:45” Rosemary wrote.

Kennedy family secretary Barbara Gibson doesn’t date many of the diary entries in the book she co-wrote with Ted Schwarz.

Gibson said she came upon the diaries about 18 years ago as she and Rose Kennedy sorted through an attic at the family’s Hyannis Port estate.

“Rose was throwing things out… . We came upon these diaries,” Gibson said in a telephone interview from her Florida real estate office. She said: “They’re Rosemary’s diaries” to which Rose replied “I don’t want them. Throw them in the trash.”

Gibson: “Wouldn’t you want the John F. Kennedy Library to have these?’ ” Rose: “No, they don’t need them.”

Gibson said she contacted the library on her own. Someone came from Boston to pick up the diaries, only to return them a few weeks later, saying they should remain with the family, she said.

Gibson said she then contacted Patricia Lawford, Rosemary’s younger sister, who told her, “Do whatever mother wants.”

Gobson threw them in the trash and then thought: “No, I’m not going to throw them out, that’s ridiculous”

William Johnson, an archivist at the Kennedy library, said he doesn’t remember Gibson offering them.

“We would have taken them any time, any place,” he said.

Kennedy family spokeswoman Melody Miller said the family has no comment on the book or the diaries, which Birch Lane Press publicist Matthew Snyder said were authenticated by a variety of sources.

Gibson was Rose Kennedy’s personal secretary from 1968 to 1978. Her book is called, “Rose Kennedy and Her Family.”

Gibson said she left the family’s employment on good terms in 1978 when it became clear that Rose Kennedy, by the age of 104, needed a nurse more than a secretary.

Rosemary, who was born in 1918, learned to read and write with the help of special tutors. Her father authorized a specialist to perform a lobotomy in the hope of calming mood swings the family found difficult to handle.

“You can see by her writing she was strictly controlled,” Gibson said. “They had this thing about her being retarded and they wouldn’t leave her alone.”

In her book, Gibson questions the severity of Rosemary’s retardation before the lobotomy.

“Rosemary talks about going to Europe, people she met, things she did, going to New York, to concerts, operas, tea dances at the Plaza, getting her hair done” Gibson said.

One diary entry covers a trip to the White House.

“Went to luncheon in the ballroom in the White House. James Roosevelt took us in to see his father, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He said: “It’s about time you came. How can I put my arm around all of you? Which is the oldest? You are all so big”.
