Marilyn Monroe conspiracy theory by Stacy La Cour





    Marilyn Monroe was an astonishing woman, who had beautiful blond hair and pale skin, with an ‘angelic’ nature. She was a strong graceful woman who redefined beauty. She was known as a ‘sex’ symbol. Women idolized Monroe for having such a feminine and seductive nature. Monroe used this to grasp her horrid past and flip the cards to what she seeked in her future. Monroe became a hit, she was known, and very proud of it, but something was still not settling right for Monroe. One thing Monroe seeked more than anything was the attention of Mr. President, which she very well received. “Happy birthday Mr. President”, was Monroe's biggest secret. Following this seductive presentation, August 5,1962, came around and tragedy struck. The beloved woman was found dead, helpless, and naked. There have been many theories about what truly happened to Marilyn following that evening:

  1. She overdosed on sleeping pills due to her lack of sleep and outgoing lifestyle
  2. President Kennedy murdered Monroe to cover their affair
  3. Kennedy’s wife killed Monroe to protect their marriage

All are very reasonable theories, the only thing left to do is separate the truth from theoretical assumptions.




Character Analysis:



     “Who was Marilyn, Siri?” “A goddess”. Picture an angel-minus the wings. Delicate, flawless, and stunning-- the world wide known sex symbol. Her talent and alluring physique is what drew the people in, what caught their attention, and left them seeking for more. Marilyn would walk in a designated area with her unembellished skin, beach blonde hair-- minus the mess, and curves that would leave the whole room in awe. Monroe was the epitome of beauty-- the opening of a door to what we call ‘sexy’ for women in the twenty-first century. Monroe was the reflection of a new era, if not the basis.
     Over time Monroe became a worldwide sensation, she was the ‘it girl’--the girl every girl who ever walked the face of the earth dreamed to be. The girl every man desired. She became the definition of perfection-to its finest. There were no bumps, blemishes, prickly hairs, or any signs of aging upon Monroe’s face--an angelic figure. Monroe carried herself so strategically well it seemed nearly impossible (electronically programmed) for a woman to never appear to have a bad side. Although that wasn't entirely true, Monroe was stunningly perfect in every way imaginable on the outside. However, all that glamour still couldn't prevent those internal corrupt demons from seeping up and grasping ahold of Marilyn every so often. When discussing demons, it is not symbolizing the devil’s followers, but it is referring to Marilyn’s past. The past Monroe so challengingly tried to escape and turn her back on.
Although there have been reports discussing how eagerly Monroe’s personnel (Johnny Hyde) confessed and pleaded to her to keep her past hidden, “Marilyn was told not to speak of her institutionalized mother because it would cast her in a bad light. Instead, if asked about her mother, she was supposed to say she was dead.”, it did not take much longer for it to become unveiled, (Pack, M J page 2). Monroe struggled as a child, even as an adult, and exceeding all the way to her death. Monroe’s childhood is what consumed most of her life away, although the promising actress seemed to have no brittle bone in her body she was secretly being eaten alive by the demons inside her.      
     Growing up in a broken household with her mentally ill mother, Gladys Pearl Baker, was the downfall to Marilyn's childhood. Miss Baker, the mother of miss Monroe, lived such a ratchet lifestyle it continued to crumble, much like an old tombstone. Baker, being a single careless woman, would have continuous sexual affairs with a reckless amount of men, who would then find their interest in her daughter--Monroe. These men would take advantage of the situations thrown at hand and sexually assault and abuse Monroe, this is what led to so much of Monroe's emotional and psychological issues. Monroe became frank with these attacks, consistently feeling uneasy, afraid of what tomorrow would bring, numbing the pain with the only pain killer she knew of--liquor, her mother’s best advocate. This addiction for alcohol never perceived Marilyn and continued up until adulthood-till her very last breath.
Although Marilyn’s childhood was tragic, she still seemed to be soaring above all odds. Her nature as delicate as a dove, however, as rambunctious as a bird freeing from its cage-- free at last. She always had a thing for old, rich, white men-none under their 30’s: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Yves Montand, Sam Giancana, Arthur Miller, and Robert Mitchum were all part of Monroe’s dirty little secret. Some may say she was a gold digger; but she was nothing other than a hurt, abandoned child, looking for an asset to her success. She was an empowering woman, looking for the stage light wherever she may ponder. As often as we’d like to think she was unbelievably happy, we will never truly know the true pain lying beneath that angelic mask of the one and only, Marilyn Monroe.



Conspiracy Theories:

     The most flaunted conspiracy theory is known as the one by which Marilyn Monroe was murdered by the Kennedys. The reason this conspiracy theory was passed along so widely, was due to Marilyn having an affair with both Robert Kennedy and John F Kennedy. This is the conspiracy theory that was most believed on my poll--even without knowledge of the situation. Although the Kennedy’s affair with Marilyn was never exploited publicly. It still does not undermine the fact it occurred. During the occurrence Marilyn was given top secret information about the Kennedys and other conspiring groups. Leaving people to believe that the Kennedys had put themselves at risk with these discussions and would surpass whatever they must to keep Marilyn shut. Peter Lawford, the brother in law of the Kennedys had stated in some public event years down the line that the Kennedys had done something crazy but that Mr. Lawford himself was even crazier for allowing it to happen--discussing the night of Monroe's death. Although, this can raise much epidemic, this statement was proven reluctant and never gave anyone any evidence as to if the Kennedy’s truly had ties to Marilyn Monroe's death. An additional epidemic having to deal with the Kennedys was that they had given Monroe a lethal injection. However, this claim is false due to the fact that after the autopsy; there were no marks or any signs of an entry way or struggle for a needle to have passed through. The only true tie to Marilyn that we can prove the Kennedys had been to their affairs--death was not a possibility for the Kennedys, at least not a valid one.

     The second conspiracy theory was that Marilyn Monroe was murdered by the CIA. This epidemic rose into play after statements about the Kennedys secreting national secrets to miss Monroe. It was contemplated that Marilyn Monroe was murdered due to her knowledge of these secrecies and that she became a threat to national security. Therefore, it was told that the CIA showed up to Marilyn's home, forcing her handyman and house maid out and moments later the poor actress was found dead laying on her backside. Although, this sounds like a straight tragedy, it is falsified information. The reason this statement is false is due to its lack of evidence and invalid witness testimonies. Due to the untold, later told, and changing stories these so called ‘witnesses’ stated their testimonies were proven unreliable and insufficient.  In addition to this the victim could have not been found dead on her back due to the circulation of the blood flow, which was not to her backside but to the side of her face; meaning she died face down on her stomach. Also much like the Kennedys, the CIA was told to have given Marilyn a lethal injection which as stated previously was proven false due to no needle wounds or entries. This conspiracy theory was ruled out due to its lack of evidence and possibilities.

      The third conspiracy theory is that Marilyn Monroe committed suicide which is the least believed theory. Although this is the less believed theory it is the theory that shows significant evidence. Marilyn Monroe had mental illness in her family history and was actually going through signs of mental illness herself. The beloved actress would talk about herself in third person and was being watched over by a psych due to her drug and alcohol abuse, as well as a multitude of suicide attempts leading to her death. The poor actress’s life was crumbling down right before her, her career was failing due to her drug and alcohol addictions and never being capable of rehearsal. Marilyn was also shut down by the Kennedys after their multiple affairs. Nothing was seeming to go along with Marilyn’s plan, other than her death. After research and analyzation of the scenarios there was really no way for Marilyn to be murdered, leaving only one option--suicide. The day before Marilyn's death she went to her pharmacy to get an additional dosage of the pills she was diagnosed--the ones that KILLED HER. Marilyn took the exact dosage to cause severe damage--death, twenty-four capsules. Marilyn also had locked her door the night of her death--had never done before, meaning she had something to hide and something she didn't want anyone to stop her from doing. This was the least believed because the death of a beloved actress is never something a person chooses to come forth. However, the suicide is a reasonable explanation as to what truly happened to Marilyn Monroe--evidence leads to this.


Conclusion:
Overall, based on the evidence gathered it is factually correct to believe Marilyn Monroe committed suicide. Due to the Myth Busters educational video on the capsule, pill, and stomach fluid in Monroe’s system. It is also accurately corrected that Monroe could have taken the twenty-four pills, with an effect of fatigue in as little as fifteen minutes and lastly death—within twenty minutes of consuming them. Marilyn had presented signs of suicide and a mass of suicide attempts that lead people to conclude that death was her preference.  Although Marilyn did have sexual encounters with both the Kennedys, it is not a safe conclusion to believe either of the Kennedy’s had those capabilities—their nature and presentation were too much to risk it all. The Kennedy’s were also not placed at the crime scene till years down the road, giving no truthful testimonies or factual evidence to rely on. The only ‘evidence’ was referring to a lethal injection which was ruled out due to faulty clause and no evidence at the crime scene, nor biopsy. The CIA was also accused to have murdered Monroe with the same lethal injection the Kennedys did. For this same reason is why the CIA was ruled out due to flawed statements and evidence.
