Sean Cinnéide

Sean Cinnéide (born John Fitzgerald Kennedy) (May 29, 1917 - May 3, 2002) was an American judge, jurist, and veteran who served as the Chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Tribunal from 1973 to 1980. Born to the bourgeois Kennedy family of Massachusetts, the young Kennedy grew up in capitalist wealth, attending boarding schools. On the onset of the revolution, Sean was abandoned by his family in their desperate attempt to escape justice. Sean joined the Massachusetts Red Guards and served as a courier for them, before being given permission to enlist in the WFRA and attend West Point as an officer candidate.

He would later see service as an artilleryman in both the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad. After being wounded, he was sent to Moscow for medical treatment and recuperation. Suffering from his injuries, he briefly attended the M.V. Frunze Academy and later was assigned to the JAG Corps to serve as a legal adjutant and enforcer of military discipline. This would give him a pathway to becoming Chairman of the Military Collegium, and then successively a place as a Tribune on the SRT once he retired from the armed forces in January 1968.

He died in his home in DeLeon-Debs at age 84.

Early life (1917 - 1933)
Sean Cinnéide was born on May 29, 1917, at 83 Beals Street in the Boston suburb of Brookline, Massachusetts to Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., noted businessman and politician (later major supporter of MacArthur's attempted putsch and subsequent regime in Cuba), and Rose Kennedy (née Fitzgerald), a philanthropist and pre-Revolution socialite. His paternal grandfather, John F. Fitzgerald, was a U.S. Congressman and former Mayor of Boston. He had one elder brother: infamous Nazi war criminal Joseph Jr., as well as seven younger siblings.

Sean was sent away to Choate, a prestigious bourgeoisie boarding school in September 1931, isolating him from his family. During the final two years of the Old Republic, Sean began to harbor intense resentment for his father, as well as his older brother, whom had been quite the model student at Choate. Founding The Muckers Club, the young Cinnéide formed the first seedlings of class betrayal among the bourgeoisie students of his school.

Second American Revolution (1933 - 1934)
When Douglas MacArthur murdered the President-Elect and launched a putsch to seize power, Cinnéide launched his own revolt against the oppressive nature of the school system, leading his Muckers Club in a direct assault on the headmaster's office, overthrowing the yoke of student oppression at his boarding school. Immediately afterwards, Sean left Choate, to seek his parents and confront them for their neglect.

Upon returning to their Massachusetts estate, the young Sean was shocked to find that his family had abandoned him, believing him to have been lost to the Reds in the wave of revolutionary fervor. Angered and bitterly not surprised at the greed of his family, Sean discarded his Americanized name, and adopted the Gaelic version of it, Sean Cinnéide, which became his nom de guerre, and later, full legal name.

Immediately following his father's flight from Massachusetts, and subsequent abandonment of Sean, the young man enlisted in the Massachusetts Red Guard. Due to him being too young to serve as a soldier (being only 16 at the time), Cinnéide was assigned courier roles, running messages and helping in coordinating the response to White insurrection in New England.

Acting Career (1936 - 2002)
Cinnéide's life in the spotlight was not by accident, but by choice. When the WFRA partnered with new revolutionary cooperatives to show the demoralized White insurrectionists that they had no choice but to stand down, Cinnéide and several other young men at West Point of upper-class background were pulled into the limelight. Appearing on the cover of the first issue of 1936's Libertine, the young virile Cinnéide scandalized both the White holdouts, and MacArthurite government in Cuba.

Cinnéide's first appearance in cinema came following his injury in the Battle of Moscow. In the 1942 film "Why We Fight", Cinnéide was interviewed in hospital by the darling young Norma Jean Mortensen, giving a passionate speech as to why the revolutionary fight must never end, and that fascism, and liberal capitalism, must be put on the ropes and beaten into submission-- so that freedom can be enjoyed by every man, no matter what their colour or background.

Cinnéide was a regular guest star on Star Trek appearing along side his wife in numerous episodes...

Cinnéide played the role of Colonel David Starling in the 1971-83 television series M*A*S*H, being brought into the cast in Season 4, after the departure of the character playing Col. Jessup Blake.

Cinnéide married Norma Jean Mortensen on 9 July 1953, and they had three children, Norman Thomas Cinnéide, Sean Mortensen, and Emma Cinnéide.

He died on 3 May 2002 in DeLeon-Debs, surrounded by his children, wife, and sister. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, an honor afforded to many who had a great impact on America.
