Ted Kennedy Death Threats?
Big Deal!
Do you know what burns my bacon? People who are honestly shocked that Ted Kennedy was allegedly involved with sex parties and had death threats against him.
That’s right today the FBI released 2,352 dirty little secret pages involving Massachusetts’ favorite U.S. Democratic senator, reported The Daily Beast 
Daily Beast article. The highlights are:
Death Threats Galore
This guy had more death threats than BP has oil. Let’s see, we have the Ku Klux Klan and the National Socialist White People’s Party threatening Kennedy’s life. Pretty sure those two groups have something in common, but I’m having a hard time putting a finger on it.
He also received death threats when he was running for president, but that’s not what’s really interesting. It turns out his brother’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, promised a fellow prison inmate in 1977 $1 millions and a car if he killed Ted Kennedy. Apparently, the inmate turned down the offer. Sirhan, of course, killed Robert Kennedy in 1968.
But the dark assassination cloud over the Kennedy family started when JFK was killed in Dallas, Texas, in Nov. 22, 1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mafia Plot
It’s not what you think. This must be a bit different for the mob who usually just whack a guy off. But they wanted to screw Kennedy over anyway.
Actually it turns out to be bogus, but there was a rumor that the mob wanted to do a little character assassination against Ted and Robert Kennedy with the help of Old Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe. While it turned out it was false, one has to wonder what it could have been? If Marilyn was involved, it would have to be some type of kinky sex, which leads us to …
Sex Parties!
That’s right, the good stuff. Apparently, the FBI has a July 12, 1965, memo that mentions that the ex-wife of a former Spain ambassador had a lot of information about sex parties that have such guests as: “Robert F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy, Sammy Davis, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe.”
Three Kennedy brothers at even one sex party? Eeww.
So, we have death threats, the mob, and sex parties. Who is really surprised? After all, we are talking about the Kennedys and this shouldn’t be a shocker to anyone.
In fact, it would have been more surprising if the only thing that the FBI had on Ted Kennedy was that he was sober as a preacher and was faithful to his wife as the day was long.
