Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head. Now it gets really weird. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters. Now hang on to your seat. Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.' Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford.' Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. And here's the kicker... A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. Creepy huh? Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading	techie (7177)

367926	2005-06-30 11:01:00	Well, I enjoyed the truth. Thanks Yankee. My problem was finding that snopes site a bit addictive. Just kept clicking on a few more urban legends ......and a few more ....and then I looked at the clock! A truly great time-waster for when you've time to waste.	Laura (43)
367927	2005-06-30 16:47:00	The only reasons that urban myths exist is that there are so many suckers who fall for them. And what's worse, they email it to every friggin' address in their address books, the idiots! I've seen that stoopid email two or three times.	vinref (6194)
367928	2005-07-01 04:37:00	Let's put the Yank perspective into this now: Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846 . John F . Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946 . . . . OK . . . no biggie here . . . . Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860 . John F . Kennedy was elected President in 1960 . . . . this is OK too . . . . . Both were particularly concerned with civil rights . Both wives lost their children while living in the White House . Lincoln was forced to appreciate the "SOUTHERN WAY" of carpet-bagging Northerners who made a killing off the slave-made goods, he wasn't "concerned", he had been told to get out of the way . Lincoln was not well-liked in the Washington circles either . . . he was overly tall, thin and not at all photogenic . . he was an "ugly duckling" of a president to hear historians tell it . He was not a rich man, and had no family "wealth" like the very monied founding fathers . . . who just happened to be slavers too! Lincoln was also not a Mason . . . . Kennedy was just a Liberal who would yell FIRE in a theater to see how much money he could make for himself and his nuveau-riche family . . . the children part is true and sad however . . . . Both Presidents were shot on a Friday . Both Presidents were shot in the head . . . . some of the best assassins get a clean head shot . . this is two more cases . . . . and mostly, they use small caliber handguns to get in close too . . . Now it gets really weird . Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy . Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln . just a coin-ki-dink . . . . Both were assassinated by Southerners . Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson . Lincoln was shot by the newly formed CIA as a warning to Northern "sell-outs" who were rocking the boat of the slave trade in the south . John Wilkes Booth was a soured egomaniac that the FBI set up to kill Lincoln, that's all . Lincoln's own cabinet knew they had to get rid of him for the sanctity of the Union . . . . . . Kennedy was assassinated by the FBI because he had generated too many enemies in the mafia (his brother was assassinated too, as a further warning while Sirhan Sirhan had been "steered" to believe that he was actually self-motivated . . . he just knew he was doing the right thing) As Attorney General, Robert Kennedy was avidly pursuing and indicting the mob and keeping them from getting to their gold offshore in Cuba . . . remember when the casinos in Havana were nationalized by Castro? Fidel was SUPPOSED to return the gold, and as a CIA plant and operative who went native in Cuba, got a big head (and then there's the "missles of August" thing too . . for another time) . That was the reason for the Bay of Pigs invasion . . . and the CIA/mafia moles told Castro they were coming . . . warring security forces had different views on what to do about all the gold boullion there in Cuba, and how to keep it out of the Mafia's hands and get it back to Fort Knox, and also keep the Russians from getting their paws on it . About this same time, the US went on the Federal Reserve System, not having their paper money backed by gold (which is offshore) since that time . Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808 . Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908 . . . . another "mind-blowing" wierd-o thing, that's all . . . . John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839 . Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939 . Lee Harvey Oswald was a burned out operative for the CIA who was turned out into the cold and was a useful tool for the blame that was not on his shoulders alone . . . there was Jack Ruby (mafia again) who HAD to wipe out Oswald as he had received the "Mano-negro" from the mob . He had no choice . Oswald's shot (only one!) went wild, hitting a curb that the CIA had removed (why?) as it was the only evidence that Oswald's armor piercing bullet never even got close to Kennedy . But the hit was on . . . ask yourself who or what next-in-power person was not in the open car with JFK? They knew Kennedy was gonna get whacked and stayed far enough away so they wouldn't get hit in the crossfire . Both assassins were known by their three names . Both names are composed of fifteen letters . Now hang on to your seat . Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford . ' Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford . ' Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse . Booth had been promised a fast horse to get away on . . . . it never was there in the warehouse where it was suspposed to be . Previously US Army doctors who had seen Booth for a minor gunshot wound had remarked that he was exceptionally bow-legged and had such severe damage to his knees that he could only at best slowly amble . He wore specially tailored pantaloons that concealed his bow-leggedness as a matter of history; they are on display at the Smithsonian Museaum in Washington DC . He was left to hide as his only option . . . the building had no rear or side doors . . . and they knew he couldn't run, especially after the fall from the balcony in the theater . . . . . the Army was waiting in hiding outside and once he went inside, his fate was sealed . Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater . JFK's assassins were the ones who had a good cross shot of him . . . the "official" report had one bullet entering Kennedy, exiting at a downward angle, turn around and return from above and strike Connaly . Oswald wasn't a trick shot either . . he was left handed, firing a right-handed Russian bolt action antique that had a peep site that could not be corrected for downward windage . . . at best, he could make a lot of noise and draw attention to himself allowing the true killers to shoot JFK . His ammo was Czechoslovakian Cordite/acid primer high pressure armor piercing 7 . 62 mm NATO surplus that made a lot of noise and extreme velocities . A good noise-maker to draw attention away from the true shooters . Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials . . . . sure 'tis funny . . right? dead men can't tell what happened and who set them up for the fall . Again, Oswald was killed live on national tv, (how convenient so all the world would see Ruby do it?), and Oswald never got to say a single word about how he had been framed by his buddies . . . . the CIA! Did you ever notice that the whole procession of the cops/Oswald and detectives left the front of Oswalt open for a frontal attack? Did you ever see the "assassination"? Ruby just walked into the group . . at leisure and pulled the gun and shot Oswald . Did you ever see the eyes of Oswald? He looked directly at Jack Ruby in recognition . . . he knew who he was . And here's the kicker . . . A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe . . actually I think that last line shoud read: "A week before Kennedy was shot, he was IN Marilyn Monroe" . I digress a moment here: Why are most of the Kennedy problems either directly caused by or from zippers in pants or cars that don't float? Kennedy spent a lot of time with MM . . he and she had a lot of pillow talk and she learned a lot of the going-on in the shady side of the White House . . that's why she too was killed (undissolved pills still lodged in the throat and brachae . . not the place for a pill to be . . it would cause vomiting and severe convulsions as the lungs would try to expell them) . . . not the way to kill oneself . . by vomiting to death . The pills that were in her stomach were also not dissolved either . . she also had a diary and was gonna blow the whistle on the FBI and the CIA . . she had to go . The diary was never seen again, although the maid said MM was making entries into it just before she (the maid) left for the night . MM had been smothered . Creepy huh? Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading . . . and I add . . . if they like a good fairy tale .	SurferJoe46 (51)
367929	2005-08-07 02:57:00	This won't die here in the US either..here's the latest blurb on the MM suicide. (www.nbc4.tv) :groan:	SurferJoe46 (51)
367930	2005-08-08 00:07:00	And why would anybody care about this? They are both dead, I assume nobody in this forum including yourself, personally knew these people. A yank killing another yank, no way, its unheard of!! You seppos have and still are killing each other at an increasing rate. Do you really think anybody outside the US cares about this? Provided you's keep it in your own backyard (which I know yous are unable to do) then we are quite happy. Veale	Veale (536)
367931	2005-08-08 00:30:00	Pardon me all to hell Veale......I thought this thread came from one of you...damn it...My bad!	SurferJoe46 (51)
