So here we go. In short form, this is what I turned over to Joey.
It’s all so unbelievable.
Is this really my life?
I know...
...Matt poked holes in Ace’s condoms (Blog 2). Only Matt, Rich, Freeman, and I knew that. And we all kept our mouths shut about it all these years. It was so stupid.
...Ace and Kathy had a son nine months later.
...that son, Tony, drove the car that killed John Heinz (Blog 14). Yep, I discovered that when I followed up on Freeman’s coded message hidden in my letterman’s jacket: “name of ace son” (Blog 25).
...Freeman was going to report that the U.S. Senate seat Matt was running for, was open because Heinz was killed by somebody who may only exist because of that same Matt’s drunken irresponsibility. What are the odds, right?
...Freeman was killed, poisoned. Yep, that’s what the coroner told Joey (Blog 26).
...Freeman’s office (dining room table) was searched. Somebody was looking for something (Blog 23).
....they kept looking. That included shoving Joey into a car and threatening him. And the car they drove was owned by Rich’s company. Yep, Chesterfield Enterprises, registered out of Alexandria, Virginia, is Rich’s (Blog 26). (By the way, “Chesterfield?” As in “113 Chesterfield Road.” Come on Rich!”)
... Joey truly knew nothing about what his dad was working on. That was hidden in code (along with a handful of Pearl’s fur) inside my letterman’s jacket (Blog 25).
...Freeman’s death had nothing to with the obvious –- pissed-off coal miners or corrupt cops.
I suspect...
...that Matt figured out what Freeman was about to report.
...so Matt reached out to old friend and crisis management mastermind Rich. Over the years, maybe inspired by the CIA agents using Rich’s global offices for who-knows-what, Rich’s services went darker (Blog 16). By order or implication, one of the dark operations inside of Rich’s company silenced Freeman.
...Matt and Rich figured that with Matt in the senate, they’d have immense power and influence. Directing trillions in tax-funded investments, making the government work for Rich’s clients (his fees would go through the roof), living the good life, etc. –- all of that stuff which I don’t “get” but which drives seemingly normal people to do the worst of things,
·...that Rich and Matt were certain that Matt’s poking-the-condom story would destroy Matt’s chance to become a United States Senator. If I were Matt, I would have stopped there and moved on in life to something else. But not Matt, he wanted that Senate seat. And ironically, Rich turned out be the worst crisis manager ever.
Phew!
Tomorrow: The end
