John Kerry's Insider Skeletons

by Victor Thorn

Considering the American mainstream media’s reluctance to link John Kerry to his blood-brother/fraternity brother George Bush at Yale University’s Skull & Bones (except, of course, for a few joking references by Tim Russert on Meet the Press and Rush Limbaugh stonewalling like a catatonic fool on his radio show), it’s not hard to imagine that there are other skeletons lurking in Kerry’s family closet. Specifically, the press has failed to adequately report on the Democratic candidate’s ties to the murky world of intelligence, his Jewish roots, and his family’s past ties to another influential government operative with the last name of Bush.

Before delving into these topics, though, let’s first lay a foundation. According to Jason Hopps of the Reuters News Service, there is a theory among British aristocrats that, “the candidate with the bluest blood in his veins will win the White House.” Harold Brooks-Baker, publisher of the noted lineage tracking service Burke’s Peerage, supports not only this view, but also the fact that, “both candidates have a remarkable number of royal connections, and both are related to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth.” But, he adds, “Kerry has more royal connections.”

To those of you who may wonder about the relevance of this point, consider an intriguing factoid brought out by researcher David Icke, who said that of our country’s 43 presidents, 34 of them have been related to two people: (1) Alfred the Great, former King of England, and (2) the famous French monarch Charlemagne. I suppose this statistic puts to rest the old schoolroom yarn that anyone can grow up to be president. Nope, it takes something more; specifically, the proper type of blood flowing through one’s veins.

In terms of John Kerry, it has been well-established that his mother was part of the super-wealthy Winthrop and Forbes families, and that he married Teresa Heinz, heir to the Heinz ketchup fortune (and widow of Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz, also a former Skull & Bones member).

But here is where the enigma of John Kerry enters the picture. Considering his upper-crust family background, everyone assumed that he was a full-fledged Catholic Boston Brahmin. But it has recently been revealed that Kerry’s father was actually the Jewish native of a small town in the former Austrian empire called Bennisch. Born Fritz Kohn, he married a Jewish musician from Budapest named Ida Lowe. To hide his Jewish roots, Kohn changed his name to Frederick Kerry on March 17, 1902, and the couple sailed to America in 1905.

When reaching our shores, the Kohn/Kerry’s settled in Chicago, all the while taking great pains to conceal their Jewish heritage, even going so far as to adopt Catholicism as their faith. In a relatively short period of time, Kohn/Kerry became a business manager for Sears-Roebuck in their formative years; then, in 1915, they mysteriously migrated to Massachusetts. The tale gets even stranger, though, for six years later – on November 21, 1921 – Fritz Kohn/Frederick Kerry took a gun and blew his brains out in the bathroom of the Copley Plaza Hotel. He was 48 years old, nearly bankrupt, and left behind a Cadillac, $25 in cash, and $200 worth of stocks.

As we saw in part one of this article, John Kerry’s family, at least on his mother’s side, was blessed with fantastic wealth, along with a bloodline that stretched back to the heart of Great Britain’s Royal Family. Considering the blue-blood’s propensity for intermarrying among themselves to concentrate power, it is certainly odd for a woman of such elite prominence to marry the youngest son of two marranos – poor Jewish immigrants who hid their faith and had no money in their backgrounds. 

The biggest question that remains right now is: why would Rosemary Forbes, daughter of the Winthrop and Forbes families, inexplicably marry into a closeted Jewish family that was marred by bankruptcy and suicide? It is a highly improbably scenario, and yet another enigmatic aspect of John Kerry’s past. Even more curious is the fact that although John Kerry said he was unaware of his family’s Jewish heritage, his brother – a Catholic – converted to Judaism over twenty years ago in 1983, then married a Jewish woman (with no objections from his family). Was this simply a random event, or was John Kerry’s brother instead making a concerted return to his Jewish roots? Inquiring minds want to know.

Anyway, due to “marrying up” (as his son would do years later on two different occasions), Richard Kerry attended Harvard and Yale universities (the latter being a breeding ground for CIA agents), then became a U.S. diplomat and “foreign service officer” (i.e. a buzzword for someone who has entered the clandestine world of intelligence). This final point is very important, for now John Kerry and George W. Bush are linked by not only their blood-brother status in Skull & Bones, but also by their fathers being in the spy business. (George Bush Sr. was CIA Director in the mid-1970s under President Gerald Ford (who was a Bilderberg attendee and Warren Commission stooge.))

More importantly, though, Richard Kerry was linked to another person with the last name of Bush – Vannevar Bush – due to his status as legal advisor to James B. Conant. Now hang on tightly, folks, because here is where you’ll see how deeply “inside the system” Kerry and Bush are. 

As I noted, Richard Kerry had direct ties to James B. Conant, a man who extensively shaped events during the first half of the 20th century. Along with being president of Harvard University, James B. Conant also developed poison gases during WWI, became High Ambassador to Germany, was chief scientific advisor to the White House, was one of the vaunted “Wise Men” during the Cold War, and became an administrator on the highly secretive Manhattan Project.

While developing the atomic bomb, Conant witnessed the first ever nuclear test at Trinity, New Mexico in June 1945. Conant was so impacted and freaked-out by this vision that he actually thought the world was coming to an end. This experience, though, didn’t prevent him from being the person who advised Harry Truman to nuke the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki without warning. This is heavy-duty involvement, and as Conant’s legal advisor, Richard Kerry was intimately involved in the process.

But that’s not all. James B. Conant also had intimate ties to a man named Vannevar Bush, who was appointed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt as Director of the NDRC (National Defense Research Council). While serving in this capacity, Bush selected Conant as his # 2 man. Bush also made Conant supervisor of the S-1 section of his Advisory Committee on Uranium. In addition, Conant was the number two overseer (under Vannevar Bush) in the building of our nation’s first fission bomb.

But the Conant-Bush connection goes even further, for both belonged to FDR’s “Top Policy Group,” were among the Four Horsemen of the NDRC, and both of their names appeared on the infamous and highly-secretive Majestic-12 UFO list. In fact, Vannevar Bush was purported to be the head of MJ-12, along with being chairman of the Office of Scientific R&D, which controlled the Manhattan Project. In other words, these were men who knew how to keep secrets.

But hold on, there’s even more, for Bush and Conant were also members of the Century Group, a military New World Order-style entity which was a predecessor of the neo-con PNAC (Project for a New American Century featuring Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and Dick Cheney). According to the lovesphere.org website, the Century Group was formed to “shape public opinion toward war,” and met weekly at a swanky Manhattan lounge. Other participants included high-ranking members of the Council of Foreign Relations, along with Time-Life publisher and Skull & Bonesman Henry Luce, mega-banker James Warburg, Dean Acheson (secretary of state between 1949 and 1953 and principal architect of America's foreign policy at the start of the Cold War), and CIA Director Allen Dulles. These men were the crème-de-la-crème of America’s control pyramid.

The following is a quote from lovesphere.org which reflects Conant’s attitude toward war: “Conant thought that in the past world war America had embarked up on a purely moral crusade that left many wondering what they had gained from all the killing and dying. Further, the U.S. must assure its own safety by taking over the world. To Bush, he expressed views on the U.S. armed to the teeth, belligerent, and running the world .” Conant also promoted an “expansionist” U.S. policy to impose a New World Order policed by an international assembly.

Take a second and ask yourself: doesn’t the above scenario sound EXACTLY like what’s going on in America and our world today? What could better summarize events currently taking place in our neo-con White House? And John Kerry’s father Richard, via his association with James B. Conant, was at the center of it. Plus, even though there are no direct familial ties between Vannevar Bush and George W. Bush, remember the earlier quotes in part one of this article about specific bloodlines linking America’s power elite to England’s Royal Crown. Vannevar Bush & George Bush’s grandfather, Prescott, may not be first cousins, but both hail from New England (as does the Kerry family), and both were major players during WWII – Prescott Bush in the scientific realm, and Prescott as the Nazi Party’s primary banker and money launderer during his stint at Union Banking with the Brown Brothers Harriman.

With this in mind, why is our media trying to bill this fall’s election as being between two candidates who are more markedly different than any in recent memory? But as we can see, both are ultra-wealthy Skull & Bonesmen whose family members have long-been the movers & shakers of America’s shadow government. Likewise, what differentiates them from their forefathers? Nothing. Both are Globalist proponents of a U.N.-backed War Machine, and whether Bush wins or Kerry wins, the status quo establishment will still reign supreme, for our Secret Society Election of 2004 is nothing more than a Hegelian exercise where each participant has been selected and manipulated to insure that the status quo is preserved. Predetermined “conflicts” are then created, but these are nothing more than diversions to let the everyday voter think that they still have some say-so in the mechanics of our country. Regrettably, we don’t, and these two heads of the same serpent – George Bush and John Kerry – are the latest insiders to further the Controller’s goals, just like their predecessors did. 

The Dark Family History of John F. Kerry

Kerry's family background is interesting. Aside from his mother being blue blood, Brahmin Massachusetts Winthrop/Forbes lineage and Kerry marrying into the Heinz fortune, his grandfather was a Jew (Fritz Kohn) who married Ida Lowe and became Frederick Kerry, hiding his Jewish heritage. After coming form Ellis Island in l905, in 5 short years he established himself in Chicage business and moved to Brookline, Massachusetts, the home of the Kennedy clan who Kerry is busy aping (JFK). He strangely committed suicide, supposedly broke, at an early age, and yet his wife and family continued to prosper...Kerry says through inheritance. 

Ostensibly, his grandfather or grandmother did not come from any money lineage, so I wonder what inheritance he's talking about. 

Kerry''s father was a "foreign service officer," who also went to Yale (and Harvard) and married into the blueblood family. He was a lawyer but is mostly listed as a "foreign officer" and government employee. I wondered how a lowly government worker could be so connected. Then I discovered that he had been legal adviser to James B. Conant. 

Conant's fame is legendary. He was on the Manhattan Project, chief scientific advisor to the White House, ambassador to Germany, and part of the Century Group that advocated a militaristic New World Order philosophy for the U.S. (Think PNAC, although I haven't gotten direct connections.) 

I suspect that Kerry's father was an intelligence agent, certainly with top intelligence clearance. Not much is written about him and the way he is written about seems downplayed, given his connection to Conant. Nothing on that. 

Kerry went to Yale, like his father, certainly was Skull and Bones (a breeding hotbed for future CIA operatives), went into the Navy and became an anti-war advocate that sort of took over a grassroots group as do many insiders trying to play both sides of the field... 

Interestingly, Kerry spent a lot of time abroad when he was younger because of his father's foreign service, met and made friends with General Pershing's son who became Yale, Skull and Bones. (He died in Viet Nam.) Interestingly, General Pershing was part of the Conant Century Group. Kerry's father was also U.S. attorney for Berlin. 

Of course, both Bush and Kerry are Skull and Bones. To understand the presidential face off, it is necessary to understand the philosophy and historical landscape of this secret society that is rooted in Germany and a Hegelian philosophy of creating and controlling both sides of conflict to engineer a predetermined outcome. New World Order. 

I offer you this info that is not commonly known. I also highly recommend any books by Antony C. Sutton on Skull and Bones, the federal reserve, why American funded the German war machine in World War II. It provides incredibly important material to understand what is going on today. 

KERRY'S GRANDFATHER -- FREDERICK KERRY 

The immigration records showed that Frederick Kerry arrived in the United States in 1905, and the naturalization records showed that he was born in the town formerly known as Bennisch, in the Austrian empire, which today is Horni Benesov in the Czech Republic. 

FELIX GUNDACKER, director of the Institute for Historical Family Research in Vienna, was hired by the Globe to examine the Austrian records, which he translated from the original German. He found that birth records for Bennisch include a notation for a person named Fritz Kohn. 

The birth record says: "In the year 1873, on May 10th, was born Fritz Kohn, a legal son of Benedikt Kohn, master brewer in Bennisch, House 224, and his wife, Mathilde, daughter of Jakob Frankel, royal dealer in Oberlogau in Prussia." The record has a notation that Fritz Kohn changed his name to Frederick Kerry on March 17, 1902. That record does not mention a baptism. But the family says Frederick Kerry was a Catholic, and he is buried at a Catholic cemetery in Brookline. 

Frederick Kerry's 1921 death certificate in Boston lists his parents as Benedict Kerry of Austria and Mitaldia Franckel of Austria, the same parents as listed in Fritz Kohn's birth record, although the father is called Kohn in Austria.

The story of Richard Kerry''s rise is one of overcoming obstacles. Born in 1915 in Brookline, Massachusetts -- the same Boston suburb where John F. Kennedy was born two years later -- Richard Kerry was a handsome, erudite boy, always fighting against the odds. His father, Fredrick A. Kerry, was actually a Czech Jew named Fritz Kohn who had fled the aggressive Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1905, brutalized by anti-Semitism. Three years before his arrival in America he married Ida Lowe, a beautiful Jewish musician from Budapest. According to the Boston Globe, the young couple simply studied a map of Europe, found County Kerry in Ireland, and chose it as their last name. Baptized as Catholics, they moved to Chicago with their young son Eric, where Fredrick (or Fred as he was called)earned a living as a business manager. Eventually they moved to Brookline, known as the "town of millionaires" in the early 1900s, had two additional children, Richard and Mildred, and earned a reputation as good neighbors. The local newspaper deemed Fredrick"a prominent man in the shoe business"; his shop was located at 487 Boylston Street in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. He seldom missed attending Catholic church services on Sunday. (He kept it secret that he was of Jewish descent.) With a two-story, Arts and Crafts-style house in Brookline -- designed by John C. Spofford -- located at 10 Downing Road, a black Cadillac parked in front and three healthy children running happily about, it seemed, to the outside world, that the Kerry family exemplified the American dream.That notion was brutally dispelled on November 23, 1921, when a depressed Fred Kerry, wandered into the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, walked into the men's room, and shot himself in the head.

JOHN KERRY'S FATHER -- RICHARD J. KERRY 

The elder Kerry was born in Brookline. He graduated from Yale University and Harvard Law School. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps, where he served as a pilot until he had to retire because of tuberculosis. 

He began his law career in 1945 and eventually became an assistant district attorney for the southeastern district of Massachusetts. In 1949, Kerry moved to Washington, D.C., to work in the office of the General Counsel for the Navy Department. He joined the State Department two years later, where he served in the Bureau of United Nations Affairs and the Office of Legal Advisor. 

He was a legal advisor to the U.S. High Commissioner of Germany, James B. Conant, as well as U.S. Attorney for Berlin. 

He joined the Foreign Service in 1956 and was assigned as executive assistant to Sen. Walter F. George, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He taught at the NATO Defense College in Paris in 1958 before being named Chief of the Political Section of the American Embassy there. 

When he returned to the United States, he moved to Groton and resumed his legal career. In 1990, he published "The Star-Spangled Mirror," an analysis of American political culture and foreign policy that reflected his experiences abroad.
