I Only Knew Half of This. O.e

[Asuras]

I've seen this before years ago. Pretty strange.

I...want all of this verified by other sources. I'm sceptical.

I think this link may help you with that quest.

In 1846, Lincoln was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served one two-year term. -Wiki-

In 1946, U.S. Representative James Michael Curley vacated his seat in the strong Democratic 11th Congressional district in Massachusetts—at Joe's urging—to become mayor of Boston. Kennedy ran for the seat, beating his Republican opponent by a large margin.[31] He served as a congressman for six years. -Wiki-

Fuck, look the rest up yourself. It seems legit.

Okay.
That's fucked up.
Mummy. Mummy? You told me the scary aliens weren't real.

Did a google search, and I'm not impressed any more:

Two people achieving their first political success 100 years apart also got elected president 100 years apart. Not HUGELY surprising. Just a coincidence.

Both particularly opposing civil rights isn't exactly true either. They weren't, even. But the situations at those times kind of 'forced' their hands into those directions.

Both wives losing their children is very misleading. Kennedy suffered from a miscarriage. While Lincoln's children died of tuberculosis and the other from typhoid. Lincoln's children didn't survive past their teens, 2 of kennedy's children lived into their adulthood.

Both killed on a Friday: There's already a 1 in 7 chance that they would be killed on a Friday. Add to that that most public events (the most obvious time to assassinate a president) happen in the weekend.

Both shot in the head: Both were shot from behind and while seated. The head was the most obvious target, and lethal shots are pretty much just chest and head shots at such an occasion.

Both secretaries: Lincoln never had a secretary names Kennedy, or such records can't be found at the least.

Both being southerners: Oswald was a southerner, yes. But Booth considered himself a northerner, and wasn't really a southerner anyway if you look at where he lived and his motivations and such.

Both successors were names Johnson: Considering how common that name was in those times...really, not a huge surprise.

Booth and Oswald born 100 years apart: Wrong, Booth was born in 1838, not 1839.

Both assasinators having three known names: Most of those came only after the assassinations. Both were known by these names: John Wilkes and just Lee.

One shooting in a warehouse and caught in a theatre, the other the other way around: Not exactly true. One shot in a play-theatre, and was caught and killed in a tobacco shed days later, the other shot from a textbook warehouse and was caught alive in a movie theatre an hour later.

Monroe, Maryland and Marilyn Monroe: Marilyn died a year before Kennedy's assasination, so that isn't even possible.


In other words, when you look at the actual facts, it just looks like a bunch of odd coincidences and some made-up additions or slight alterations of them.

Pretty sure Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's Theater. In fact, I've been there before.

Eldritch monsters, obviously eldritch monsters.

Squiddles. It is the work of Squiddles. Clearly.

Oh, did you guys ever hear that around 2 years before Lincoln's assassination, his son was saved from certain death by John Wilkes Booth's brother.
