Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Devil Exists: The Horrifying and Heartbreaking Tale of Rosemary Kennedy [Warden]When I was a younger man, I would have confidently told you that Satan is simply a necessary personification of the concept of evil, used in the Bible to make a somewhat nebulous idea more concrete in order to help readers better grasp the importance of God's law and love. I viewed evil as the absence of God, something passive rather than an engaging force that wills its twisted desire upon humanity. I don't believe that anymore. I believe that Satan is real and that he actively works toward the destruction of men's souls. There are many reasons that I believe this, one among them the tale of Rosemary Kennedy. It's a story long hidden from the American people. Even now, most don't know the awful details of what the Kennedy family did to their own flesh and blood. I'm going to tell that story because it's one that every American should know. Before continuing, I will give you this above-the-fold warning, her story will leave you angry, sickened, and filled with grief.Rosemary Kennedy was the third child of Joe and Rose Kennedy. She was born in 1918. Rose's delivery doctor was late in arriving to the birth, so the nurse instructed Rose to keep her legs pushed together until he arrived. It has been speculated that this act deprived the newborn of oxygen, leading to her mental disabilities after birth. The Kennedy's have long described Rosemary as "mentally retarded," however there is evidence that she may have simply been learning disabled or, perhaps, slightly below average IQ. Rosemary twice failed kindergarten and was given an IQ test that put her IQ between 65-70. By 13 years old, she was shipped of to a private school to be educated by nuns. By 15, she was reading at a 4th grade level. No one outside immediate family suspected that there was anything at all wrong with her. Rosemary loved shopping, tea parties, social functions and dances. By accounts, her brothers adored her. She was a beautiful and vivacious young woman, as evidenced by the picture below.![]() The operation left the beautiful young woman you saw in the picture above palsied, incontinent, unable to speak and with the IQ of a 2 year old child. Joe Kennedy then hid his crime by shipping Rosemary off to a mental institution, where she was not allowed to leave the grounds as other patients were. At some time during her stay, she was sexually abused. Joe then sent her to St. Coletta School for Exceptional Children to be cared for by nuns. For 20 years, no one from her family visited and none apparently cared enough to press the family patriarch for details about what had happened to her. Shortly after Joe Kennedy's death, Rosemary's mother, Rose Kennedy, decided to reunite with her. Here is a description from the Daily Mail about what happened next. Rose decided to visit and Rosie waited for her arrival with two nuns at the airport in Milwaukee. When Rosie sighted her mother deboarding the plane, she ran to her. Rose opened her arms to greet her daughter and Rosie raised her arms and beat her mother on the chest shrieking. 'Rosemary knew her mother had not been with her when she needed her most.' She was very angry.Other Kennedy members began to visit Rosemary somewhat regularly, including brother Ted and sisters Jean, Pat and Eunice. Bobby and Jack never did. Eunice eventually went on to form the Special Olympics, a noble cause and yet another in countless examples of God turning acts of evil into works of good. Yet even today, the Special Olympics website whitewashes the true story of Rosemary, stating only that one of the Kennedy's own suffered from mental retardation. Left unsaid is that Rosemary was a perfectly healthy, full functional young woman until her father decided that wealth and power were more important than his little girl.

Yes, but Donald Trump is a Nazi.
Joe Kennedy Sr. did a LOT of things that are particularly repulsive and unpleasant. When the country was struggling after the 1929 Stock Market crash, Joe (and a lot of other very wealthy people) continued to short stocks, making money on the decline. With the market being as it was in those days, there is a strong belief now that that really drove the market down and the country into a deeper recession. Joe, of course, was Ambassador to the United Kingdom in the run up and during the beginning of WWII. He was so anti-British and had some open sympathies to......Germany (Nazis?), that the British government actually requested that Franklin Roosevelt remove him as Ambassador. And he did. He once came home from a tennis match with a much younger woman, while Rose was having lunch with Lyndon Johnson (at that time, Senate Majority Leader) and another prominent Democrat. Joe very noisily went upstairs and had sex with this younger woman. Of all the Kennedy sons, Robert was actually most like his father. Very smart, very ruthless, very unprincipled. It's no wonder a lot of them turned out like they did. Posted by: Bossy Conservative....unfrozen caveman moron at November 17, 2016 08:37 PM (S6Pax) 23

I knew they had Rosemary lobotomized which was bad enough. What I didn't know was that she was just slow and living a fairly normal life (albeit in a convent). It seems her biggest sin was she might embarrass Joe publicly or worse she knew a secret about Joe and had to be silenced.

John F and Bobby both assassinated; Jackie loses JFK Jr to an arrogance induced plane crash. Teddy is allowed to live with his own sin, and judging by the way he looked premortem, that was punishment enough. There is a shit ton more addiction, death and misconduct by the other offspring, this is just my short list.

Meanwhile, PT 109 was a cluster fuck of the first water. The only PT boat in naval history to be run down by a ship. It's kinda like a wasp getting run down by a caterpillar. Apparently the Navy was going to court martial Kennedy for dereliction of duty (how could a SHIP bear down on a boat with its engines cut (IIRC) without being seen or heard?), but Joe managed to head it off.

Joan Kennedy, Ted's first wife, lived down the street from me in Boston after leaving Ted. Whatever her politics, and I really don't even know what they are, she was supposedly a very nice and beautiful woman.
She was left an alcoholic who has been living the last decade under the guardianship of her kids. I'm convinced being married to Ted and all that went with it including Chappaquiddick, drove her around the bend. Anyone who wasn't blinded by the Kennedy myth knew they were evil people.

Arthur Schlesinger, the Harvard prof and Kennedy brownnoser, wrote a hagiography of Robert Kennedy which was something like 700 pages long and about 1 line was devoted to Rosemary - she had "fallen behind and was sent to live with the nuns."
I grew up not far from St. Coletta's at all and I didn't know until my early 20's that she was there. Nobody knew. I had a neighborhood friend who had a severely mentally handicapped brother who lived there. She and her family didn't even know - and they visited the place all the time.

"As Rosemary grew older, she became increasingly hostile to the idea that she couldn't to things that the other children could. She began to rebel, sneaking out at night from the convent they'd sent her to and occasionally meeting up with men.
Joe Kennedy was worried that she might cause the family embarrassment and hurt their political prospects. When Rosemary was 23 years old, Joe decided to put an end to his worries by having Rosemary lobotomized." I'm thinking a big part is what I bolded. A pregnancy could be aborted or hidden. I'm familiar w/ the story, just not the gruesome details as to how the lobotomy was done. I think it had a lot to do w/ the fact Old Joe couldn't control her temper, and dammit she was his daughter and she was trouble and embarrassing. He controlled it all right, what a f*cking azzhole.

@91: Agree. The whole bootlegging claim came about in the early 1970s. Joe had connections, and was ready to import Scotch the instant prohibition ended, and made a lot of money doing it. But there's no evidence that he did any bootlegging. And if you read about him in detail, bootlegging would not have been something he would do.
As for stock manipulation, what he did was legal. When the SEC was created, he was the first chair, and promptly made illegal some of the things he had done. He was very good at making money. Legally. He was also a very loving father who wrote at least weekly letters to all of his kids, including Rosemary. I think if he had known what would happen, he would not have authorized the lobotomy. It was a different time, and standards were different from now. Sweden's government ordered lobotomies well into the 1970s. Posted by: Gordon at November 17, 2016 09:08 PM (SqaAl) 152

He was very good at making money. Legally. He was also a very loving father who wrote at least weekly letters to all of his kids, including Rosemary. I think if he had known what would happen, he would not have authorized the lobotomy. It was a different time, and standards were different from now. Sweden's government ordered lobotomies well into the 1970s. Posted by: Gordon at November 17, 2016 09:08 PM (SqaAl) ======= Sorry, but this POS is now beyond judging on this rock.

Posted by: sandy at November 17, 2016 08:54 PM (s587h) I once thought that too. I took a journalism course in college taught by George Reedy, who was (briefly) LBJ's press secretary. Reedy was a old fashioned blue collar Dem. I liked him. He had all kinds of interesting stories - like being called into LBJ's bathroom, where he had to sit on the side of the tub while LBJ was taking a dump. He struck me as an honest guy who had been pretty disillusioned by Washington. I read the aforementioned Schlesinger biography of RFK and asked Reedy about it. Reedy said, "Bobby Kennedy was the most ruthless SOB I ever met." He advised me to take anything Schlesinger said about the Kennedys with a bushel basket of salt, since he said AS was blindly loyal to them.

I have no illusions about the Kennedys. Any of them. But there is no evidence Joe was a bootlegger. He made a lot of money, but he did it legally, and without government subsidy.
None of his descendants have prospered on their own as far as I know.

I have no illusions about any of them. But Joe was not a bootlegger. That charge originated in the 1970s and there is no evidence to support it. There is no evidence that he broke laws getting rich. He was a very, very sharp businessman, and had a habit of being in the right places at the right times. That is not unusual among self-made wealthy people. And Flyboy, buzz off. I didn't interrogate him. He had no reason to lie to me. Look up a book by John Quinones called Dreamland. Read it. Learn something. Posted by: Gordon at November 17, 2016 09:34 PM (SqaAl) 275

Many older boomers, even conservative ones, have a huge blind spot about the Kennedys. My BIL, who is also Irish Catholic and from a big family, hated Teddy but persists in thinking JFK and Bobby were great and gets angry if you challenge that. I think for that generation the Kennedy assassinations were such a shock at such a young age - and for Catholics the election of a Catholic president was such a huge thing - that they really can't consider the Kennedys bad guys, no matter what comes out about that wretched family. They can dislike Teddy and the younger wastrels, but JFK and RFK are somehow kept on the pedestal.
I think Peggy Noonan was correct when she wrote that the country as a whole will be unable to judge the Kennedys until the last boomer is dead and nobody remembers the Camelot bullshit mystique.

Detroit's "Purple Gang" running booze from Canada during Prohibition.

If you're up for a little deeper dive into evil, read this. Eugenics has always been a dream of the left. Never forget that when they try to talk about things like overpopulation or abortion or global warming. It always gets back to one thing, getting rid of undesirables, the ones they claim to be undesirables. And they will never stop. http://tinyurl.com/nhbc5t8 Posted by: JackStraw at November 17, 2016 09:49 PM (/tuJf) 356

AE had an Intervention show I DVR'd yesterday on some drug that's pretty rampant. I've been hearing the occasional story about out of control drug usage but there hasn't been any great reporting on the problem because the first black presidency is all unicorn skittles and sunshine.
Vice had a show on where they talked about 'juice' (iirc) - pop and some prescription drugs which was running wild in the black community. There's your hope and change for you. And lastly, Black Friday is stupid. I'm only saying that now, because I've decided I'm going to get an Amazon Kindle, however, Black Friday, which is relatively new to Canada, is catching on and Amazon has sales.

There has never been any evidence that Joe Kennedy Sr. was a bootlegger. He made money in banking, manufacturing, at one point he was running two movie studios (and banging Gloria Swanson) and always paid himself well. When prohibition ended (which wasn't a surprise, it had been coming for years) he was ready and controlled the import market for Scotch whiskey. He bought Chicago's Merchandise Mart on the cheap and made a pile running it for decades. He was a very, very good businessman. He did not need to put his family at risk by bootlegging and if you learn more about him, you would find that it would be out of character for him to take such a risk.
None of this means he was an angel. He just wasn't a bootlegger. Posted by: Gordon at November 17, 2016 10:03 PM (SqaAl) 418

So the whole bootlegging thing is...folklore?
------------------------------ The whole bootlegging thing seems to have no evidence in its favor except a handful of statements by New York or Chicago mobsters, their families, and their lawyers. Joe almost certainly supplied liquor to bootleggers in the Caribbean (where it was legal) and from whence it was then smuggled into the United States. The evidence or lack thereof for bootlegging is not validated or invalidated in any way based upon evidence or testimony as to whether Gordon or anyone else is a troll.

One story about Old Joe that's actually pretty funny is how he got the Ambassador job. He'd had a longtime ambition to be the first Irish-American Ambassador to Great Britain, and he put a lot of pressure on FDR to get the position in the mid-30s when the office came up vacant. FDR actually didn't want to give Joe the position, because he knew that Joe was a prick who would make an ass of himself, and by extension make an ass out of FDR. But FDR had to at least pay lip service to the idea, for political reasons. But if he could piss of Joe enough to drop it........ So he called Joe to the Oval Office for an interview with just Joe, FDR and James Roosevelt, FDR's son. After about 30 minutes or so FDR commanded Joe to stand up, and then told him to drop his pants. Joe was understandably confused, but he complied with his President's command. FDR immediately started braying wildly, pointing at Joe and calling out "See, Jimmy? I told you it was true! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" At this point, Joe was pissed. But he was astute enough not to lose his temper, and he asked what FDR was talking about. FDR replied that they had a mutual friend who had gone boating with Joe many years before along with their extended families, and he'd seen Joe in his bathing suit. The friend claimed that Joe was the most bow-legged man he'd ever seen in his life. And that was a problem, because when the Ambassador to Great Britain formally presents his credentials to the King, he does so in period costume: wig, breeches and tights. "And if I let you show yourself in public with those bow legs wearing tights, I'll be the laughing stock of the Western World." Joe is REALLY pissed now. But he keeps it under control, and he turns it back on FDR. "Tell you what. If I can convince the Brits to allow me to go through the ceremony in the modern ambassador's costume of top hat, tails and striped pants, will you let me be your ambassador?" FDR thought briefly about it, and figured that Joe couldn't pull it off, so he agreed. About a week later, the State Department received a cable from the Foreign Office saying that if he desired, the incoming Ambassador could present himself to the King in.......top hat, tails and striped pants. No one really knows how Joe pulled it off, but it's funny how history is made. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at November 17, 2016 10:10 PM (LuZz8) 437

#438: Actually, I remember several years ago some "scientists" were claiming they'd identified a "conservatism" gene. They said if your child had that gene, he was likely to grow up as the kind of person who'd listen to Rush Limbaugh and support our troops go to church and do other "awful" stuff like that.
I'm convinced it was all a hoax, to be honest. Follow the money. Which side of the political spectrum has women who can be more easily convinced to have an abortion? The liberal side, of course. How can you get more of these women to open up to the idea of shelling out money (or letting the government shell out money for them) to have abortions? Why, by telling them they're at increased risk of giving birth to a racist sexist homophobic bigot, of course! Posted by: The Deplorable Prothonotary Warbler at November 17, 2016 10:31 PM (0OG8D) 450
Continued from #449: See, a conservative pro-life woman is far less likely to consider having an abortion. And if you were to tell her she's at risk of giving birth to a bi-curious transnational vegan... guess what? That won't move the meter a single notch in the direction of aborting. Well... maybe one notch. But you're starting so far away from "do it; do it right now" that the person you're trying to con is much more likely to say, "Well, if you're right, I won't agree with much of what my kid does later, but I love him anyway and he deserves a chance at life".
So, those junk-scientists went the other way. To those potential consumers more open to aborting, who are also more open to dehumanizing their political opponents and refusing to give birth to one. Posted by: The Deplorable Prothonotary Warbler at November 17, 2016 10:43 PM (0OG8D) 451

I recently spent 30 minutes in the bookstore browsing a book about her and her life. From what I understand there was enough evidence proving that lobotomies were more destructive than helpful. Old Joe must've been very desperate. There are excerpts of letters she wrote while under the care of the nuns, and yes, they are childlike. . . but she was a human being with feelings.
I did not know she had been sexually abused. That's further sickening. Posted by: Hillary's Deplorable SteinMart Suit at November 17, 2016 11:03 PM (26e2V) 453

Posted by: Warai-otoko at November 17, 2016 09:28 PM (sK2fh) Still going on in 1996, in a slightly different form. I arrived at the hospital with my son already in the birth canal at 3 a.m. (I inherited my mother's extremely fast labor gene. There is one, believe it or not, and it's scary.) They shot me up to stop the contractions because he was breech. My obstetrician slept in for 2 more hours while my husband and I waited in the ER. My son was born with a mild case of Cerebral Palsy. Do I believe the doctor and the hospital were negligent? Yes. Did they cover up his condition for the first few hours after birth while we, as first time parents, remained blissfully ignorant. Yes. Are they rated a top 50 hospital in the U.S.? They sure are but lawyers rule. Never doubt it. Posted by: BarcelonaCarmen at November 17, 2016 11:23 PM (RHjCR) 455
As far as I am concerned, every one of Joe Kennedy's kids that died early was simply justice for what they did to Rosemary.
JFK, yeah, he got us authorization for the green berets (worn anyway unofficially beforehand), he got the Navy standing up the SEALs in addition to the UDT teams that already existed, he got the USAF into the SOF business, and got away from massive nuclear retaliation as the DOD's one answer. He was smart enough to listen to Maxwell Taylor (WWII commander of the 101st, also a total asshole even before he made four stars) on that. RFK? Fuck that guy. Probably also had Marilyn Monroe murdered. Teddy? Wish he died sooner and more painfully. The sooner that entire pestilential bloodline dies out, the better we are. I was actually happy when JFK Jr. dumped his plane and killed himself. Posted by: Colonel Kurtz at November 18, 2016 12:08 AM (jmnpZ) 456

90% of those who test for it. We never tested with our son. I miscarried one child that we then had tested and he had DS. I mourn for him just like I mourn for the first that I miscarried.

Joe Kennedy was so embarrassed and angry about Rosemary that his MISTRESS was shocked and broke off the relationship. You know how horrible he must have been for an amoral woman to be shocked and back away?
Posted by: daisy at November 18, 2016 10:09 AM (jzb58) 464
The story is bullshit. One of the networks had a long piece on her during the late-1980s--early 90s. Their primary guest was a male classmate of Rosemary from high school. He said she was perfectly normal. He had studied with her in her home and he said the Kennedy brothers were always hostile to him--occasionally cornering him to ask what he was doing with their sister. The big thing was that he had notes and letters she had written to him. She had an advanced vocabulary given that she was a voracious reader. Her last note detailed that she had decided to become a voluptuary--someone that devotes their life to pleasure and beauty. Hardly a word low-IQ people use. She wanted him to have sexual intercourse with her, but with the understanding that she would never be exclusive to him. Shortly thereafter, Rosemary told all of this to Joe and that's when Joe decided she had to be dealt with before she created a scandal that jeopardized her brothers political chances. That friend said that all the records showing that she was retarded were faked. It was a cover for having her lobotomized. He had gone on to become a lawyer and a businessman and said he was perfectly capable of assessing her normal-to-above average intelligence. I believe him. She was lobotomized because she showed a high sex drive and an unwillingness to marry.

The idea of a two-year old essentially waiting 20 years for mommy to come to get her is horrible to contemplate. The Kennedys were especially evil.
