History Mystery ... Thx Marge R!

History Mystery

 

If you have seen it before? it's worth seeing it again A wonderful piece of conspiracy thinking!         An updated version of the original 'History Mystery' History Mystery   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 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.    WHO FIGURED THIS OUT?    INCREDIBLE!!   1) Fold a NEW $20 bill in half... 2) Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below 3) Fold the other end, exactly as before 4) Now, simply turn it over... What a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 bills!!! COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE As if that wasn't enough... Here is what you've seen... Firstly The Pentagon on fire... Then The Twin Towers. ...And now .. look at this! TRIPLE COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20 BILL Disaster (Pentagon) Disaster ( Twin Towers ) Disaster (Osama)??? It gets even better 9 + 11 = $20! Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause: Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading!

OK, so I broke into your house, so what? ... Thx Marge R!

I received this from an acquaintance in OH and don't know who really who wrote this, but interesting analogy 

Ok, I broke into your house - so what? A lady wrote and sent the following letter to the Editor of her local newspaper. She should be asked to moderate the discussion on the question of Immigration. How would the networks react? She is more rational than all the "talking heads" on network TV and probably more than half of our Congress.     Her point: Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.  Let's say I break into your house.   Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, 'No! I like it here. It's better than my house. I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house). According to the protesters: You are Required to let me stay in your house You are Required to feed me You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan You are Required to Educate my kids You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family My husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest. (except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house And what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.  Oh yeah, and I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so that you can communicate with me. Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! America is populated and governed by idiots.   If you agree, pass it on (in English). If not blow it off.........  along with your future Social Security funds and a lot of the former benefits of being an American Citizen

Freedom the Eagle and Jeff ... Thx Arex T and Ron W!

A nice human interaction with a magnificent bird.  Alex

 

          A Story about a Eagle named Freedom and a Spiritual Friend Jeff

 

This is the kind of story you need when  it seems like the world is spiraling out of control. Not many people get a picture of this proud bird snuggled up next to them!  Freedom and Jeff  Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer.   She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings.   Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,  it was broken in 4 places.  She's my baby.   When Freedom came in, she could not stand and both wings were broken.  She was emaciated and covered in lice..   We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office.  From then on, I was always around her.   We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in.  I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight;  and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes.  We also had to tube feed her for weeks.   This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand.  It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't stand in a week.   You know you don't want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon.. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear.   I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day. We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her.   I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington.   We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV.  Miracle Pets even did a show about us.   In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.  I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo.  Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot of work.   When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.   Fast forward to November 2000. The day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant.   Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back  Monday for the results. I went in Monday,  and I was told that all the cancer was gone.  So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill.   I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew.  She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long.   That was a magic moment.. We have been soul mates ever since we came in. This is a very special bird.  On a side note:  I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them   I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that.   I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom!! Hope you enjoyed this! A SMALL REQUEST.... 93% won't forward, but I'm Sure You Will.   A small request.....Just one line: All you are asked to do is keep this circulating..  Even if it's only to one more person. just someone who enjoys a GREAT STORY.   Those who would disrespect our flag have never been handed a folded one.   “TOLERANCE IS THE LAST VIRTUE OF A DYING SOCIETY” ARISTOTLE
