IN'l1ll()J ) IJ (~'111 () N by David Hatcher Childress "Only the small secrets need to be protected. The big ones are kept secret by public incredulity." -Marshall McCluhan It was early in 1983, while visiting a friend in London, that I was given a copy of The Gemstone File. Fascinated by its revelations, I devoured the document in one sitting, unable to put it down. A few years later, while in Australia, I was given another copy of The Gemstone File. "Here, take this, make another photocopy of it, and pass it on," the person told me. I took their copy (of a copy of a copy) and passed it on to someone else. "Pass it on," I repeated, as many had before. And now, after more than 20 years since the author, Bruce Roberts, died on August 1, 1976, his manuscript has become legendary. The Gemstone File is perhaps the world's best known circulated document, one that is mentioned in dozens of books on the Kennedy Assassination and the role of the Mafia in the affairs of the United States and other countries throughout the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. The mysterious Bruce Roberts, as he claimed, was the inventor of the synthetic ruby and was an expert in synthetic jewels of many kinds. This sort of knowlege would seem to lead one into a natural career as a costume jeweler, 7 Inside the Gemstone File Introduction particularly in Los Angeles, where Roberts resided for a time. Few photographs are known of Roberts. One that was discovered by Gemstone researcher Gerald A. Carroll, which appeared in the Los Angeles Times in 1952, is of Roberts fitting actress Carmen Miranda with synthetic jewelry. Hughes Aerospace was located in Los Angeles as well. In the late 40s and through the 50s, Roberts claimed that he was employed by Hughes. He brought the technology for making synthetic rubies-the basis for laser beam research, laser bombs, etc.,-to Hughes Aircraft, where it was stolen because of the optical quality of the rubies. Later he moved to San Francisco and began writing his "Gemstone Letters." These letters, sent with accompanying synthetic rubies, were addressed to important people around the world. Roberts hoped that these people would pay him handsomely for the insider information that he passed on to them. Thus began The Gemstone File, a file of Robert's personal letters of which he had kept copies. These letters ultimately made it to Mae Brussell in Carmel, California. She commissioned the Skeleton Key (a chronological outline of the most important points of the letters) to be written, as the number of handwritten pages that were given to Brussell is said to have been well over a thousand. Parts of the file were released to certain Americans beginning in 1969, and the Skeleton Key began to be widely circulated underground in the mid 70s. The Gemstone File gives a very different tale of the lives of Aristotle Onassis, Joseph Kennedy, Sr., Howard Hughes and other famous figures than the mainstream media and official biographers would have us believe. Where did Roberts get the fantastic information contained in his letters? According to the Skeleton Key, Roberts was married to the daughter of the former French consul in Indochina, and, in fact, the Golden Triangle area was a possible source for one of the ingredients in his synthetic gemstones. In that area, Onassis's involvements in the Golden Triangle dope trade was 8
