I think it is true, whether time and place is right or not. It is in keeping with VERY much about Joe, John, and Bobby.
The Illuminati had a "Closing its doors of operation" episode on CBS "60 Minutes" during the Clinton years, claiming it had completed its mission of benevolence and the govt could manage on its own quite well.
JFK, Agnew, and Reagan were the only ones up into Reagan's term that did not and never did belong to that organization.
politicians and others have lots of reasons these days to be in denial about all of this. JFK and Bobby both clearly showed they had something a lot heavier than Marilyn Monroe on their minds in those days.
And clearly there is a reason that Toady Chappaquiddick caved to far more Liberal powers instead of living to make his brothers proud of him. Politically speaking.
