Just got emailed this one today, thought you all might like it

American President Conspiracy Theory

Look what happens when a President gets elected in a year with a "0" at the end. Also, notice it goes in increments of 20 years.

1840: William Henry Harrison (died in office)
1860: Abraham Lincoln (assassinated)
1880: James A. Garfield (assassinated)
1900: William McKinley (assassinated)
1920: Warren G. Harding (died in office)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (died in office)
1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated)
1980: Ronald Reagan (survived assassination attempt)
2000: George W. Bush ????????????

And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in the courts to
be the one elected in 2000.

You might also be interested in this.

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. 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 theatre named 'Ford'.
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford'.

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?

By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record. Of primary importance is the fact that evidence is always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information.

Just a bit of math here. Every president elected in a year ending with 0, is elected at 20 year intervals, since, well, elections are held every 4 years. Kinda necessary that each is 20 years apart - math being what it is and all.

As for the rest, would have to look that info up, but there are bound to be coincidences, especially if you look for them. But not terribly interested in doing so. Besides, a 100 year conspiracy? Wouldn't that require some foreknowledge that Kennedy (a guy not even born yet) would be elected pres? Additionally, wouldn't that require considerable research into finding people with the right names, dates, etc, and the wherewithall to direct these peoples lives in the proper fashion to ensure their compliance with the 'Plan'? I think not, that's too much to ask anyone to believe reasonably. Not creepy, just coincedence.

One could only hope... The world would be a safer place without him.
Though I'd settle for him not winning the coming election.
