i have a book that puts much of this articles subjects at the feet of mayer lansky, and without naming him it seems that this exploration lands at a similar less exact location;

In 1940, while Churchill’s Britain and Germany were at war, the “anti-Semitic,” (here) anti-Churchill, anti-war Ambassador to England, Joseph Kennedy Sr., sent a strange telegram to the US State Department. Original-Source historian David Irving explains:

“When Kennedy decides to go back to Florida for a vacation, he takes the plane down to Lisbon, and he boards the USS Manhattan to sail back across the Atlantic, and in a bit of a panic because he knows who he’s dealing with, he’s dealing with Churchill, he sends a telegram to the State Department saying: Please, will you announce that if the USS Manhattan is torpedoed and sunk that the United States will not declare war (with Germany) over this because I have reason to believe that Churchill is planning to torpedo the Manhattan knowing that I’m on board!” (here)

Papa Joe surely knew that the British were intercepting all such messages — so this was probably his way of protecting himself from “the usual suspects” in advance. We should also note that in private conversations between themselves (and later retold to James Forrestal) Kennedy and the former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain blamed the Jews for wanting the world war. Kennedy also hated FDR and the “communists and Jews” around him. He was a friend of the “anti-Semitic” ™ Father Coughlin and later supported Senator Joe McCarthy.

This historical flashback adds critical context to the sad fate which awaited the Patriarch’s progeny — like Joe Kennedy Jr. in 1944 and Kathleen Kennedy in 1948 — and, most notably, President John F Kennedy in 1963 — among others.
