faeden....many of the comparisons are valid but not all.....but they are just as you say...coincidences.

Maybe it's Lincoln reincarnated? Who knows, but fascinating any way.

How many of them are valid and how many are not?

Also there is a line when a coincidence(s) becomes something else. I guess we all have differing ideas as to where that line is?

Hi Faeden. I actually remember a teacher bringing some of these up when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade... not sure why. But, anyway, I really do think they are just coincidences.

If you think there is more to it, why do you think that? Why do you think they are not coincidences? What are the implications?

Hi Fools Crow

I believe in coincidences. But there comes a point when there are so many that it passes the bounds of just a sheer coincidence. If all of them things are true, then there is something more meaningful to them, that is for sure. What that something is, I have no idea, but there would be a purposeful connection to them both. Its why I asked how many of them were not valid, because I can take the coincidence thing quite far, and over look it as nothing more than just a strange coincidence, but there comes a point when the laws of averages start to fall apart and eventually are blown apart.

Its like for instance, someone losing their husband to a mysterious disease, and it being accepted as a natural cause of death, then the same person remarries again and loses another husband under a strange mysterious disease, then thinking ‘OK she is just really unlucky’ then marries again and loses another husband to a mysterious disease….. How long does it take someone to start thinking hmmmm, something’s a miss here?

I know each one of them coincidences in the original thread are not as big as a husband dieing of a mysterious disease, but all of them together start crossing over into the realms of something other than just a strange coincidence, well to me they do.

As I said, some people are obviously more willing to draw the line from just mere coincidence to something more connected much further along the road than another person is.

the not historically accurate

Booth was born in 1838....Oswald in 1939.

Booth was never in custody....he was mortally wounded being captured by the 16 NY Cavalry....and he was in a barn not a warehouse.

Vietnam had begun before Kennedys election (for the US in 1955 officially in 1959)....the Civil War had been brewing for a long time....Lincoln himself predicted it in 1838....it was Lincolns own action that finally set it off.

Lincolns Gettysburg Address was given to Dedicate a National Cemetery for a battle which occurred in July......Kennedy was assinated approximately has little connection.

If memory serves there was also a great national convulsion when FDR died in 1945....and to a lesser extent for Garfield and McKinley died.....so when the news gets out communications will no doubt be overloaded.

Other children lived, played in the office, around the white house and also rode horses around the grounds....but then horses lived on the grounds until the early 1900s.

The fact presidents children die is proof they are humans like everyone else.

The White House has been redone a few times since it was constructed after the original was burned in the War of 1812.

Lincoln knew he was hated....there had been other known plots against him....and Kenedy also knew he had enemies.....and riding in an open limo knew he was a good target....no matter where the secret service was standing.

wether the succeding presidents dark or wether Kennedys funeral was patterend after Lincolns are not even a coincidence...and besides my last name has 7 letter.

the remainder are coincidences.
