I was soooooo sure that last one was going to be “A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Monroe, Marilyn”.

Both of them concerned with privatized central banking systems as well.

Even though a couple of the lines aren’t true, it’s an interesting collection of facts. I don’t care how popular the name “Johnson” was back then, the odds are still pretty low that both were succeeded by a Johnson.
I hope to God he wasn’t in her a week before, she’d been dead for over a year.
