Not to belabor a point, but concerning Carnahan, JFK, Jr., and
Wellstone, what are the odds? What are the odds that these three important Democrats all die in a plane crash within a few years?

Look, I have been reading The Assassination of Julius Ceasar by Michael Parenti. It was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Parenti details plot after plot and assassination after assassination by the wealthy in the Roman Empire against the politicians who stood for the masses. Has human nature improved that much over two thousand years?

Think about it folks: JFK, MLK, Malcolm, RFK, Wallace (who benighted as he was, had a populist appeal), Carnahan, JFK,Jr., Wellstone. All these people were in strategic positions and they represented, for the most part, the common people. All dead. All gone.

What are the odds?

1. Don't Forget
Jimi, Jim and Janice, plus the near miss of Bob Dylan.

2. Don't forget Ted K's plane crash
He didn't die but it's pretty much a miracle that he didn't!

4. Plus, Ted K. was supposed to be on the plane with Wellstone!
I don't have a link anymore, but remember reading about it after it happened.

9. You're right! Here I found this link
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 01:01 PM by Carni

Damned pop ups! here's the correct link:

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:AvaYWmmd7TkJ:www-cgi.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0210/25/bn.04.html+kennedy+was+supposed+to+be+on+wellstone+flight&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN CORRESPONDENT:
"I know originally there was some question about Senator Ted Kennedy, because he had been campaigning with Paul Wellstone. He was not on this plane with the senator, but the two had been campaigning together. We're told by Kennedy's staff that he's on a commercial flight back to Washington. But we know that Senator Kennedy must be devastated because of the own -- tragedies in his own family, but of course because he was close to Senator Wellstone himself."

3. Not a coincidence. They were all assainated by the Imperial Family
or their Operatives.

Now that Caeser has revealed himself, the past is much more clear.

5. The sad truth..
Rich people are often "to busy" or too bugged by thr "commotion" that their presence creates to travel by commercial planes..

Small planes crash...A LOT..(They always have)

Being rich/famous/important is no protection from small plane crashes..

11. In the case of the Kennedy's though
I find it VERY difficult to believe in a random pattern of accidents and coincidences...regarding the rest, I hear what you are saying, their odds definitely go up when traveling extensively in small planes.

12. Agreed, however, can you explain why the majority of rich people
who end up dying in small plane crashes are Democrats? pukes fly on small planes too, but their planes don't crash as frequently as Dems.

7. the odds are much greater
for people who fly small planes almost daily.

The odds are even greater for an inexperienced pilot like JFK Jr. flying under adverse conditions.

8. I read a shocking essay after JFK Jr died.
The writer expressed his sincere grief & disappointment. It was clear he would have loved to see him President. He quoted JFK Jr as saying that his (hypothetical) campaign theme would be Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom". A touching essay by a writer who seemed to regret the loss of a Prince.

Who wrote it? Charles Krauthammer.

It's very evident that JFK Jr was a dangerous man.

10. JFK Jr. was not (yet) a politico
and his magazine was hardly far-left.

Wellstone and Carnahan's crashes were a tad bit fishy, but I've never heard of any credible evidence of foul play so I accept the cover story.

But I do believe that the right and/or the MIC were all over the murders of JFK, RFK and MLK (and others...) But again, without rock-solid proof, there is little we can do about it...

13. I don't think they were coincidental!
How about the assassination attempt on President Reagan? I think some are more closely tied together involving the same players.
