School for Champions – by Ron Kurtus
American presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were both tragically assassinated during their terms in office. Both men were admired by many but actually hated by those who opposed their political views. Shortly after Kennedy was assassinated on 22 November 1963, a comparison of the circumstances of his death and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln on 14 April 1865 surfaced. That comparison pointed out some amazing coincidences.
Questions you may have include:
- What were the comparisons?
- Is there any significance to them?
- Is this just a coincidence or what?
This lesson will answer those questions.
Comparison of events
The following chart compares the amazing coincidences in the deaths of Lincoln and Kennedy. Some items that are commonly listed in this comparison have been deleted as incorrect, thanks to reader feedback.

*1 Note: It is an urban myth that Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. There is no record of that.
*2 Note: There is no record whether or not Kennedy’s secretary warned him.
*3 Note: Booth actually fled to a farm and was killed in a tobacco barn. It might be a stretch to call it a warehouse. But two years after his death, Booth’s body was temporarily moved to a warehouse. Also, after the assassination, the government closed the Ford Theatre and turned it into a warehouse.
Other interesting facts
Some other interesting facts include:
Lincoln’s dream
Apparently Lincoln had a dream several days before the assassination that he had been killed. He told his wife that he had seen himself in a casket.
A Kennedy uncovers plot
In February 1861, there was a plot called the “Baltimore Plot” to assassinate Lincoln as he passed through the city. A NYPD offiicer, John Kennedy, claimed to have uncovered the plot. In 1951, a movie The Tall Target was made about the plot, staring Dick Powell as Kennedy.
Pet turkey names Jack
Also, Lincoln’s son Tad had a pet turkey named Jack. Tad asked his father not to kill the turkey for Thanksgiving. Although Harry S Truman started the official tradition, Lincoln was the first to “pardon” a Thanksgiving turkey. (Now what would be real interesting is if JFK had a pet named Abe or had pardoned someone by that name. Thus far, I haven’t heard of that.)
Skeptics disagree
Some skeptics say that you could take any two famous people and find a number of similar-type coincidences between them. The only problem with that theory is that there really haven’t been any listings of such comparisons. And certainly none has been as extensive as the Lincoln-Kennedy similarities.
Summary
Facts concerning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are amazingly similar. It is uncertain if such coincidences have any meaning, but they certainly are strange.

“*3 Note: Booth actually fled to a farm and was killed in a tobacco barn. It might be a stretch to call it a warehouse.”
Another so-called ‘government’ lie.
Can’t recall his name, but it was a Union Army captain who was substituted for Booth. The wrong leg was broken.
Booth was a member of a secret society – the Knights of the Golden Circle.
-Skeptics, you say? What the F would it take to convince these people???
I’d be willing to bet that those same skeptics would sing a different tune if the comparisons were people that they know/knew personally.
That’s because the same lineage of rulers had both of them killed
Central Banks
No secret, really.
“Lincoln was shot in the back of the head in the presence of his wife”
“Kennedy was shot in the back of the head in the presence of his wife”
I thought Kennedy’s head was shot from the front? The head went back and to the left.
Forget about them both trying to eliminate central banking?
Leave them Banksters alone lest they come lookin’ for you.
So, Lincoln and Kennedy were killed. Take, for instance, just the Kennedy assassination. It has huge question marks regarding Lyndon Baines Johnson. Traitor and murderer supreme, as to his involvement. Come on people, LBJ? Guilty as the day is long but let’s not upset the flag waving morons by looking into it. They still run the gig today and need to be called on it. George H.W. Bush is a murdering “bushwhacker”, pardon the pun, and needs to be indicted on all of his treasonous acts. No one has the balls to take on the “Bush Family Evil Empire.” It’s unfortunate but it’s the true. Maybe the saw the wake of dead people on their rise to power, same gig with the Clintons. And you know damned well Donald Trump can’t wait to tweet a pecker picture into cyberspace. take him out of the race. A Bush or a Clinton, that’s the choice folks, Donald Trump ain’t got the time to waste destroying the country on the political side of things, he’s got way more important *ss**cking on the world stage in the financial arena to tend to than the day to day Presidential tasks. Yeh, vote for Trump, you dumb*sses.
Whew. Saved my thumbs, Millard. Thanks! 😉 Well said, sir.
Thanks Martist. Yeh, I, sometimes, don’t even want to see how bad we’ve been f$cked, it just pisses me off even more. Henry has talked of the “awakening” happening in America and it continues to grow daily. At the same time though, minds are fooled into the current political and socioeconomic death trap that sucks the soul right out of you. I’ve tried to awaken some but the forces opposed came forth. So be it.
