Caroline Kennedy RevealsSecrets
By Pat Shannan
On Sept. 13,2011 national news correspondent
Diane Sawyer conducted a two-hour inter-
view with Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg,
the daughter of John F. Kennedy and Jackie
Kennedy. Industry rumor has it that Caroline Kennedy
(53) agreed to the release of interview recordings
ofhermother as a trade-off for keeping the mini-series
"The Kennedys",which tarnished the family legacy, from air-
ing on television.
In 1964, Jackie recorded seven historic interviews
with ArthurSchlesinger,Jr.about her life with JFK that
reflected refreshing candor and delightfully entertain-
ing political incorrectness. Jackie died in 1994 and in-
tended for the tapes to remain locked in the Kennedy
library vault until 50 years after her death.
On one of the tapes, the first lady reveals herself as
a conspiracy theorist by saying only four months after
JFK’s murder that she believed her husband’s assassi-
nation was initiated by Vice President Lyndon Johnson
and carried out by his Texas oil cronies. She also felt
that Lee Harvey Oswald was merely part of a much
larger conspiracy.
Jackie was even less fond of Martin Luther King and
abhorred his "hypocritical pose as a man of the cloth”
while at the same time being notorious for his woman-
izing.The widowed first lady had soured on King after
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover told Kennedy that King
tried to arrange a sex party while in town for the“march
on Washington.” (SLANDER CONCOCTED BY LBJ)
Conspicuously left out of the news presentation for
American viewing, but widely reported by the British
press, were the retaliatory sideline love affairs Jackie
carried on after becoming aware of JFK’s unfaithful-
ness, as well as her alleged four-year affair with
brother-in-law Bobby after the president was killed.
