I knew his mother, the former Ethel Skakel, (sp) was very wealthy, didn't know the source of the wealth. RFK jr paternal grandfather's fortune was also very suspect. Seemed to know exactly when to divest his holdings in the stock market.

Yes, I thought it was very interesting that the Skakel family wealth came from coal and carbon. It almost seems like that was deliberately hidden (?). Yes, on paternal grandfather's wealth too--was given the heads up about the stock market crash because he was in insider. Fwiw, years ago, I came across a fascinating audio by Dick Eastman on the rense radio show, where he did a deep dive into Bernard Baruch (yesterday's Soros/Rothschild front man) and Baruch's connection to so many key events in our history, including the stock market crash. Unfortunately, last time I looked for the audio, it looks like it was dead. But it was honestly one of the best history lessons. And all of that goes back to the paternal grandfather--yes, he was connected to the insiders, though he might have turned on them at some point related to the war.
