I doubt Marilyn Monroe was anything but a confused, star-struck drug addict with some gifts and talents that the Kennedy boys enjoyed. But it is possible that she was so obsessed with them that she would have threatened to tell something about what she knew and it caught the attention of the people and the media. There was a general lack of knowledge about the nature of JFK’s drug use and sexual shenanigans, even after his death. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was handled and agreed upon, or requested by the Kennedy clan. They still value his image even though Old Joe has been exposed in Arts & Entertainment. Maybe Maria Shriver and Arnold will make a run for the presidency. However, it is important to note that Mary Jo Kopechne figures into the issue in a major way. She maybe she intended to leak much more about the Kennedy clan.
“Smathers also betrayed JFK for Marilyn Monroe. According to Sarah Churchill’s recently published book The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe (2004), it was Smathers who first leaked the story to the press about the affair. The story first appeared in an article by Dorothy Kilgallen the day before Monroe’s death (Kilgallen herself would die in similar circumstances to Monroe on November 8, 1965).
Why should Smathers do this? One possibility is that Smathers was trying to link JFK to Monroe’s death. According to Victim: The Secret Tapes of Marilyn Monroe (2003) by Matthew Smith, the CIA was involved in a plot to implicate the Kennedys in Monroe’s death as punishment for the Bay of Pigs disaster.
If Smathers was involved in some conspiracy to kill JFK, one would expect that people close to him like Grant Stockdale {mafia-recruited vending machine owner who was in a position to expose a lot after JFK’s death and who was eliminated } to find out. that. One person who may have discovered what was going on was his secretary, Mary Jo Kopechne, and his roommate, Nancy Carole Tyler, who was Bobby Baker’s secretary. According to Penn Jones, it was Kopechne and Tyler who leaked the story that JFK replaced LBJ with Smathers as Vice President. {I have no doubts about LBJ’s involvement in the assassination of JFK.}
Nancy Carole Tyler died in a plane crash near Ocean City, Maryland on May 10, 1965.
Kopechne became Robert Kennedy’s secretary. She was to die in Edward Kennedy’s car on July 18, 1969.”(1)
