Apparently, a couple of white supremacist from Tennessee were planning on assassinating Obama... alongside 88 more people.

88 being some kind of magical skinhead number, from what I read. Not sure where it come from I knew about 18 (from 1=A and 8=H; Adolph Hitler's initials).


Anyway; they got caught and Hilary's prophetic gifts are yet to be confirmed...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

H is the eighth letter, heil hitler... so 88 is code for that.

Has a brief explanation of the 88 and 14.

"Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states.
Real class, that. Haven't seen such classassins since John Wilkes Booth.
