Lincoln, Francis Ferdinand, Kennedy
Is there some kind of connection?
Heads of state assassinated. More than these three. (Hoch Dollfuss!)
But there is a chronology thing ... from Lincoln to Kennedy, the time is 100 years, 7 months, 8 days excluding the end date.
Now, the two other spaces up to and from Francis Ferdinand come fairly close to half.
Lincoln to Francis Ferdinand = 49 years, 2 months, 14 days excluding the end date.
Francis Ferdinand to Kennedy = 51 years, 4 months, 25 days excluding the end date.
Now, is there any other then chronological connection? I think so.
Lincoln wanted slavery to end and not to be replaced with Racism (no, not Xenophobia. Racism.) Also not to be replaced with Carpetbaggers, I think, but I could have got that wrong.
Francis Ferdinand wanted Serbs and Muslim Bosniaks to live in peace with each other and with Croats.
Kennedy went after the Deep State. And C. S. Lewis, whose death was overshadowed by the assassination, one hour later, went after fashionable Atheism and Liberal Theology./HGL
