Another Key Witness Conveniently Silenced: Mary Pinchot Meyer

Another new book you have to read is Peter Janney’s Mary’s Mosaic, which is a great study of the Mary Pinchot Meyer case and what it all meant from a historical standpoint. As the book shows, her murder was an assassination so professional that one CIA insider said it “had all the markings of an in-house rubout.”⁴²⁷

Mary was an extremely intelligent, very attractive woman who—as fate would have it—was having a serious romantic affair with President Kennedy. As opposed to his many sexual “liaisons” with other women, this was apparently one of JFK’s most serious relationships. And most of the people in Washington circles knew it.

After JFK’s murder, Mary was one of the people who—like Dorothy Kilgallen—was sure that it was a conspiracy and was determined to prove it. She told friends she knew people at the CIA and that Agency people were involved:

Meyer claimed to my friend that she positively knew that Agency-affiliated Cuban exiles and the Mafia were responsible for killing John Kennedy.⁴²⁸

Then one day, she was out for her regular morning run and was murdered; two shots from a .38 at point blank range.

Police jumped all over the case, and against proper procedure, immediately said it was solved: random murder, possible sex crime. They came up with a great story that a middle-class black man who was found near the crime scene with his zipper undone was being held for the crime. That’s exactly the type of thing that makes most people jump to conclusions, isn’t it? Well, it almost worked.

Except that—in this particular case—the middle-class black man with the zipper undone actually managed to get a decent lawyer to come to his defense, and she totally demolished the case against him, right in open court for all to see. They found him not guilty, which left the case still unsolved.

Then other evidence started to materialize, a whole lot of “funny business” seeping into the light of day.

Janney even uncovered direct evidence about the CIA’s internal decision to ‘terminate’ Mary Meyer. Former killers who had been in the ‘cleaning business’ for the CIA have openly talked about it and revealed that it was done exactly how it looks like it was done; that they ‘Had one of our cleaning men nail her down by the towpath while she was out for her daily jog.’

‘She was eliminated because she knew too much.’⁴²⁹

They even figured out the assassin’s operational code name, which was William L. Mitchell.

There’s tons more on her case; way too much to go into here. But there’s ample evidence that she was killed as a “national security assassination” to prevent her from divulging “highly sensitive information,” like the truth.
