Christine Keeler is the biggest scapegoat of the Profumo scandal - not Stephen Ward who committed suicide and now most of the people feel sorry for him. They see him as the only scapegoat of the scandal, and they don't feel any sory for Keeler in spite of her sad and tragic life.ליהhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214183950751723465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-32100375564804137752009-03-10T23:01:00.000-04:002009-03-10T23:01:00.000-04:00You have shared some fascinating information.

For it was. It would barely make the news today, let alone get to court. Lot of lies and smokescreens were put up to cover 'our betters' sex-lives. Not to mention the masonic sex rituals etc., these people are wrapped up in (and still are...). The problem was somebody decided to make the incident public, the usual thing was to smother it up (they own the media, amongst other things). Not quiet sure why this was so. I can but guess.<BR/><BR/>May I point out a few salient points for your readers? I knew Ward, I modelled for Harley Street professors (we were about 400 kids between the ages of 6 and 16) and thus met Ward, who occasionally helped out when the guys were busy. Ward was a genius medical man but was relegated from med-school just before he qualified for, er, being found in the wrong bed...ahem (the head of medical collage wasn't amused, it was his young wife screaming her head off!) He was told he was history in medicine, thus his parents sent him to the USA to study osteopathy, the highest qualification you can get contra being a full doctor. Despite no official qualifications he was so good a doctor the Harley Street guys used to discuss their cases with him, asking him his opinion. I sat there, listening, so know this. He was a very nice man, by the way, you would like him. But he was also a 'jack-the-lad' - in English 'a cheeky bugger' - always joking, doing practical jokes, causing mayhem, laughing his head off at all the red-faced victims! He had raced cars, too, and liked taking calculated risks. He knew Paul Newman via racing, and they apparently often talked of putting together a race-car team in the USA.<BR/><BR/>Ward was never a stretcher-bearer corporal during the war, but seconded to mil-intel. Everybody in Intel during the war operated under a false name and identity, so stop the Nazis kidnapping relatives etc., and forcing Intel people to work for them. So it was with Ward. He was a Captain in rank and, after being seconded to working with Sir Archie Macindoe during the Battle of Britain helping with the burned pilots, worked on a secret program for the USA, called Operation Monarch. Mind control, remote seeing etc. Weird stuff. Ward was good at that sort of thing. Keeler often said 'Ward controlled her'. She wasn't understood. But she was saying it as it was, Ward could work her like a puppet just by looking at her. True. I've got an uncle in Norway who could do that to his wife, usually during a party to her great embaressment! But not everybody is susceptable, and certainly not everybody can do it. But it does work, I've seen it done. Not only seen... Ward used me for that too, but I'm not going to tell you about that! (Other than that I had fun... I think).<BR/><BR/>Ward used to take me to see the BoB pilots at the home they were hidden in, so I KNOW he did what he said he did. All the guys knew him well. The pilots liked visitors, but were used to said visitors running out the door, screaming. The guys were so badly burned you had to look twice to see they were real people, not some weird Hollywood models for a horror-movie. He also helped out at St.Barnardo's with the traumatised kids (many had been beaten and raped etc.) and he was also involved with a group into helping abused women and children. Several of my teachers at school were in this group, it transpired, I met them at Ward's and other places.<BR/><BR/>There was a lot of good things the media never mentioned about Dr. Stephen Ward.<BR/><BR/>As I said: you would like him. Going by your piccie he would like you too, Liz! He'd love putting you under his spell and controlling you (I would too, if there, phew! Don't worry, I'm old now).<BR/><BR/>The Harley Street guys hinted to me Ward was impotant, some viscious VD he got during the war. This might explain why he was into fixing young girls for others; he could only look on. <BR/><BR/>Ward knew many people in the intel-services, I've met a few, not only Brits but from the USA, including the infamous Clay Shaw of JFK fame, David Ferrie too. We even met JFK himself, in '60(?) just before he announced his candidacy (he was a quiet man when himself, not at all ego-tripped, gentle and charming. I must say I liked JFK). Ward was great friends with Averell Harriman, the US senator, I met him.<BR/><BR/>'Once one, always one' as regarding being in Intel, and I suspect Ward was still on the books in case he could be used. He NEVER worked for the Reds, he hated the Reds with (almost) the same passion as Mariella Novotny. But he would kiss up to the Reds if Intel asked him to...and paid him too. I'm sure he ran a spy-team in the early 50's (that got bust, he barely surviving) and the girls he had now were part of the new one. Ward was related to the M.I.5 boss, Roger Hollis and I'm certain he was investigating the moles in Brit-intel. The public were finding out there were a lot of them, all from top families, many had jobs in the Intel services! <BR/><BR/>The girls. Knew all of them.<BR/>Vickie Barrett was a genuine pro, in the game for some quick money after a divorce. She lived in Welwyn Garden City in a nice house (I was there) and deliberately wore heavy makeup and a wig to hide her identity, as part of an escape plan ("The shit will hit the fan sometime, and the people we are involved with aren't nice, they are the type to kill us. So I'm ready for it"). I was suprised she was hauled into court, they must have grabbed her at work.<BR/><BR/>Ronna (aka Ronni) Ricardo was an Irish girl raped and abused as a child and ran away from home and was also a pro, but not willingly, and was saving her money to eventually get herself a life. Several men had dumped her on the way, the last an American who held the key to the atomic bomb. She wondered where her new husband was, ringing the base to ask, to be told he had been sent home and he was already married! The USAAF paid her off and told her to keep quiet. She had a beautiful little baby-girl by him, and both Ronna and I loved stripping naked, cuddling-up and breast-feeding her. Aahh... heady times...<BR/><BR/>Mariella.... we were engaged to be married, y'know. Long story not for here. Raped by the Reds when at school in Austria, who then used her as a callgirl, mother found a way to get her out, no money left so she put on the red-light and supported her sick daughter best she could. Despite speaking 7 languages Marie couldn't get a job in England. So she told her now-ragged mum she was taking over, eventually buying the rights to a retiring slag's customers and began wielding her famous whip. Had a hard time not bursting out in laughter at the sad antics of her customers! Lovely lady, love at first sight for both of us. 'The other' didn't bother me, that was work, wasn't the real Mariella. I was about 15, she 19 (big and brawny for my age). We began planning our future but the Reds captured her father, a top man in the Eastern-bloc resistance. I'll leave the rest out. She worked out what to do and left for the USA to do it. Told me not to wait, never saw her again. Tough as her father, that lass.<BR/><BR/>Keeler: ordinary girl with enormous plain charm and sex-appeal. Even I got hot! But Ward had to prime her under hypnosis to do what he needed her for. Had a complex about her hairy arms! Met her auntie and husband, as well as one of her brothers. Nice people, it was the weak mother who ruined the family what with all her brain-dead boyfriends etc. Chris was a demon cook and drove a car and swam like a seal, the nude swim at Clivedon was normal stuff for her, she always swam naked in icy water and could dive and hold her breath for ages! Look at her pics, she's got no boobs to talk of, but a huge breastcage with big lungs underneath! She really needed a solid man to love her. Never found one, the 2 she married stole all her money. Too soft-hearted, that lass. Brilliant dancer too, pro-standard.<BR/><BR/>Mandy: the giggling bombshell! Strong as a horse, brawny, muscular, rode horses all her life, loved sports. Good education, intelligent (TOO intelligent at times). Spoke French and was learning Hebrew. She didn't need priming. Needed the money. Not happy she wasn't making headway in her career as Britain's top musical star. Found out she wasn't the only one and many of the others were better than her. Became London's top stripper instead, danced to classical music, she'd trained ballet as a kid. Her fighter-pilot father (known to 2 of my teachers at school, who flew Typhoons with him) was killed in the war and her mother remarried a paedophile/ policeman who raped Mandy from an early age. When she was old enough to realise what he was doing she bit her teeth together and left home at fifteen. Mandy hated the Rice Davies bit, but realised it sounded good in showbiz, she always called herself Mandy Davies privately, after her real father.<BR/><BR/>Neither of these 2 girls were hookers. Hookers made a thousand bucks a week, not fifty. Ward helped them with living accomodation etc., he NEVER made any money out of them. Ward NEVER ran a brothal from his homes. The frisky girls who are possibly behind those rumours were the 14-18 year old ladies-in-waiting from Buckingham Palace, the girls who looked after Charles (in more ways than one, ahem) and Anne. They used to kick-back at Ward's on days off. Those girls were frisky! One was Camilla, by the way, don't believe the blurb you've been fed by the media (and the Royal's) both Cammy and Charles played together from childhood. Cams and I were the same age and liked each other. She was ok back then, as a 14 year old (the tampon came later). One 2 occasions they smuggled me up into Anne's quarters (the Royal's were away and the cats would play. The security guys were then lax as they wanted some R an' R too!) Wasn't impressed, a hotel lobby looked more like a home. Big bed though, queen-sized. Only cold water to bathe and wash in. The only thing in Anne's bedside table were a pile of condoms and a couple of hairclips. No clothes, they took those away making her walk around naked, all so she couldn't run away. The doors were all locked anyway, how could she get out! No TV, no radio, no books, all were forbidden for Anne. <BR/><BR/>Charles lived on the floor above. He had all the luxuries, including hot water.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it does make you wonder....<BR/><BR/>Mum and Dad lived the other side of the Palace. Not interested, you see. Those lovely family shots were merely photoshoots, life for the kids wasn't like that.<BR/><BR/>I was at Ward's one day (sometimes he would look after me if the professors were suddenly busy and wanted me to stay in town in case there was time to do some teaching later on) and chatting to Mariella Novotny, when Bear Ivanov walked in (nice man, he and Ward were genuine friends - "Yes, I AM KGB, we all are, even the cleaning-lady at the embassy!" - but he wasn't hard-headed enough to be a real spy). Ivanov stopped dead on seeing Marie, and went white in the face. "Ah," I thought, "they've met before..." Then he turned and ran out, saying over his shoulder he'd be back another time, Stephen! Mariella was halfway out the kitchen with a huge kitchen-knife in her hands, ready to cut his throat with!! No, Mariella didn't like Russians.....<BR/><BR/>You got one thing right, that Ward was living in Wimpole STREET when the scandal went down. Whe we first met he was living in a tiny bedsit in Orme Court, then he moved to Wimpole MEWS (with the 2-way mirror, which was made in the good ol' US of A and plugged in to the mains. A relic from the war, Peter Rachman researched, that the Yanks had forgotten to take back home) then, in late '61 he moved around the corner to a bigger apartment in Wimpole Street. He took the mirror with him.<BR/><BR/>So, hopefully, you're beginning to see there was a lot more behind the melicious things Ward was accused of. Some of it was true, yes, but a lot of it was distorted and abused. In my eyes Ward was a good guy who deserved a medal, not a bottle of pills poured down his throat. Ward was rich, he'd amassed one million pounds during the time I knew him, kept in a bankbox, not the bank as such (to avoid paying taxes). Why kill himself. He was only looking at a year or two in jail on the charges he was found guilty of. How do I know of the money? He and Peter Rachman had a bet on as to who would earn a million first, and Rachman won that bet - just - early in '62, an angry Ward handing over the money as I looked on.<BR/><BR/>The question is: how did Ward earn that money? It's a long story, but I think he was selling porn-photos of the Royals to the Reds, the USA, the Israeli's, as part of his scheming to find those spies. No proof, just a hunch. That and the double ceiling in 'the orgie room' (not when I was there, unfortunately) with the 4-5 cameras inbetween, all pointed at the bed. I helped him change the film once. Ward hated the Reds... and the Royals too... He only had a soft spot for Anne, who he knew well. The rest were crap.<BR/><BR/>Why did Ward get cruxified? I suspect he got too close to something he stumbled on in his quest to unearth those Red spies.<BR/><BR/>Ronna Ricardo, who I was close to for several years (she was lesbian but liked a cuddle now and again) told me a few things about ritual masonic abuse of children, involving many top people. She was involved in supplying young girls to 'the man in the mask' but drew the line at supplying girls under 15-16, he preferred 12 and under. Others found those girls for him. She was involved with Ward in trying to get a camera in to take photos of the abuses, but 'the masks' security was too good and the cameras too bulky. She knew of one 10 year-old girl who disappeared after being taken to hospital by the police. Just vanished. There were rumours of an orphanage in Ireland (Ronna had contacts in the IRA) where men she named for me filmed children being abused by people specially chosen for blackmail - as they were being slowly strangled to death by Anthony Blunt. Snuff-movies. We're talking politicians, businessmen, bankers type of people?<BR/><BR/>So believe all this stuff you see on the TV, the orphanages, the kidnappings etc. There is still an extensive worldwide network into supplying kids for these people.<BR/><BR/>My own theory here is that all this was part of a possible coups for the Crown of England. The Stuarts/Stewarts are the obvious choice, they are the ones who lost the Crown to the current Royals. I have a reason to say this; via 'a reliable source' I've learned there have been 4 possible attempts to take the Crown the last 100 years, one was foiled by WW11 and the same person involved tried again after the war. Did Stephen Ward stumble upon this?<BR/><BR/>THAT would have killed him, pronto. But as 'they' couldn't know who else was involved or what they knew they did it that very public and messy way to let those people know to shut up, or die.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I think Ward got too close....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-63280335565091709912008-04-04T08:51:00.000-04:002008-04-04T08:51:00.000-04:00Thanks Eliza.

We tend to think of the 1950's in America as being so straight-laced, but there was so much going on under the surface with the red scare, and the birth of rock & roll.<BR/><BR/>I was also struck by the difference between the press in America keeping silent about all of Kennedy's affairs during the 1950's and 1960's and then the Profumo Affair in Britain.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468836798747722663.post-27473649722306492982008-03-24T17:57:00.000-04:002008-03-24T17:57:00.000-04:00I have not visited for a while but what quality po...I have not visited for a while but what quality posts I have caught up with yesterday....
