For those of you who remember, the "Gemstone File" was featured on this board three or four years ago. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. If not, then who ever put it together sure as hell knows his history. It is an interesting read regardless. Oh, and Robert Maheu is mentioned in parts one and two. Later,

The Skeleton Key to the Gemstone File (SK) was an underground cultural phenomenon of the early 1970s. The document, by a then-unnamed author, purported to explain the relationship between the US government, the Mafia, Howard Hughes, and Aristotle Onassis, while providing believable scenarios of who killed John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Page 1 of a hand-typed 1976 version of the underground cultural phenemenon, "A Skeleton Key to the Gemstone File."
The SK was photocopied thousands of times and spread around the world hand-to-hand before the digital age. A few times it was rewritten and small changes were made. Some people would strike the “F” word and replace it with a softer term. Some would add or delete actual information that changed the story a little.
In 2008 I learned who the author had been. Stephanie Caruana had been working with radio talk show host Mae Brussell in Monterey on a story about Howard Hughes and Onassis. She read hundreds of pages of notes from Bruce Roberts—the source of the SK’s information, and she eventually went to San Francisco to meet him. Caruana compiled the SK from Roberts’ notes and began distributing them with his approval at rallies and other events.
If the bulk of revelations in the SK are false, the author went to a lot of work and did a great job concocting a story for which she received no credit for 30 years. If true, the history may explain much about our current situation.
The author of SK is working on a new book, and I am helping her. She intends to recreate the original words and spirit of the first “Skeleton Key to the Gemstone File” and include photos. For now, here is a faithful copy of the version I received in 1976 from a high school history teacher in Anaheim, California. I will be setting up a separate blog and wiki devoted solely to “The Gemstone File” as thousands of people have read it and may have some information to add or questions to ask.
The nature of this information is such that most people have one of two reactions: they either read the entire 22 pages at a single sitting or drop it like a hot potato after two. A surprising amount of the information has been verified as accurate, which lends credence to other aspects of the file. Still, I don’t recommend blind acceptance of its message, just an open mind.
