The Infamous Chappaquiddick Incident

Bumping this thread on the anniversary of Chappaquiddick & Apollo 11. (it's been two years!) And bringing another new viewpoint to the thread.. that of conspiracy lady Mae Brussell. Originally broadcast July 28, 1971. Tune into Mae's tape while you're studying this thread for the finest conspiracy experience available on the internet.

After Chappaquiddick, Nixon was still obsessed with Teddy Kennedy's political destiny. This tape transcript illustrates Nixon's godfather persona when he talks so liberally about the ramifications of Ted Kennedy getting shot during the elections. Maybe Chappaquiddick is too deep for most people (Apollo 11 & Mary Jo Kopechne on the same weekend? It really happend!)

But I'm thinking that the car crash on the bridge on Friday night was a Nixon "hit" on Teddy. but he escaped and Teddy had to make up a story about it was 'not a Nixon assassination attempt' but it was an 'embarrassing accident' . In this very bizarre scenario where his credibility is not shattered, Teddy remains a US Senator from Massachusetts for 40 more years.

United States Senator
from Massachusetts
In office
November 7, 1962 – August 25, 2009

Haldeman: You've got one United States Senator [Kennedy] who is a secondary factor in the [1972 presidential] campaign. You give him [Secret Service] coverage through the campaign.
Ehrlichman: Understand, I don't like to give him something, but at the same time--
Haldeman: And then if he gets shot, it's our fault [for not providing Secret Service protection].
Ehrlichman: Sure.
Nixon: You understand what the problem is. If the son of a bitch gets shot they'll say we didn't furnish it. So you just buy his insurance. Then after the election, he doesn't get a Goddamn thing. If he gets shot, it's too damn bad. Do it under the basis, though, that we pick the Secret Service men. Not that son of a bitch [Secret Service Chief James] Rowley. Understand what I'm talking about? Do you have anybody in the Secret Service that you can get to? Do you have anybody that we can rely on?
Ehrlichman: Yeah. Yeah. We've got several.
Nixon: Plant one. Plant two guys on him. This could be very useful. Source nixontapes.org...
