I think someones messed up here.
If this was to be true then McCain would also be related to Dick Cheney through Obama.
Obama and Cheney are distant relatives that is a known fact.

Come on jhill, you're not a mod. I've seen you do this twice in the past 15 minutes---unless you have something to contribute, it'd be nice if you didn't post.

---------------------

This is amazing to me! I wonder if this is just coincidence. As in, is it common for people to be closely but indirectly related to great figures of history?

yeah

and according to the bible, im brothers with john mccain AND Barack Obama

...i don't get it -it seems irrelevant, 100%, even if its true....

i wonder how many ladies i "met" in college were my 22nd cousin

Why is anyone surprised by this? Do you people actually think these presidential candidates come out of nowhere? Do you really think their rise to power is by accident? Do you truly believe that "anyone can be president"?

The bankers who run this world and manipulate its events marry into each other's families, and even resort to marrying within the family, all to keep the inner circle small and sacred.

They're all related. Thats how they get their positions of power. Its not a coincidence.

Why add a story, and you can't even comment on said story. It doesn't add anything to ATS. If a mod is not around to tell someone, who will?

it hurts my head.....

its called 6 degree's of information or something like that


there's a theory out there about this ideal with Kevin bacon

you can relate anyone to anyone through 6 degree's of comparison...

using the same ill-fated technique as described in the article provided in the OP

i could prove my relations with anyone in history. "22nd cousin"

they arent even related.

Why people buy into this is beyond me

it goes something like this


John Does father was related to Jane Doe

Edwin Doe was cousins with Jane doe through their second Uncle
Their second uncle, Larry Doe, was the brother-in-law with Fred Doe, who was the grandson of Louis Doe

Louis doe was the great grandson of henry doe who was cousins with the descendent of King Louis XIII




its so stupid






[edit on 8/25/2008 by Andrew E. Wiggin]

Uhhh....I did comment on the story and asked a question. Not quite sure what you're trying to say....

Anyway, I agree with Andrew. Basically, everyone is related in one way or another. Since a large percentage of Americans have European blood, it's no surprise that certain people have links with royalty. I don't see much of a conspiracy here.

What are you talking about, you been here since 2007 and you don't know? If you edit your own post it will say edit by you. Click the edit button in your post, add something and see what happens.

@iceofspades

I was referring to the original poster, not you. But, was quoting you because you made a comment to my post about the OP.

----------------------------

OP:

I still don't believe this story, my personal opinion. It seems as though stories are coming out of the woodwork. I have never seen so much disinformation any other time of the year.

Does this mean that McCain is muslim?

So the guy in Kenya has been abandoned by McCain as well.

Man, this is getting confusing.

I dunno I think this is actually interesting if its true, not suprising though. How reliable is that source?

Maybe thats where all these darn muslim stories come from!!

Someone better probe that Obama marriage too - isnt it illegal to marry family members?

If 22nd cousins constitutes a relation - i think we're all in trouble.

Reply to Jhill:

I see. No offense

How about we try our best to keep this thread on topic? I'm enjoying seeing what others think!

[edit on 8/25/2008 by iceofspades]

not to offend anyone - seriously

but what makes me most angry about stories like this is when someone comes out and says "see, this is proof that all men of power are connected to the four horsemen of the Apocalypse as it appears in the 7th chapter of the ancient Mediterranean sea scrolls"


this kind of "Investigation" isnt proof of anything other than someone actually had enough time to trace lineages to show that through 22 degrees of relation, the two men are related.

22nd cousins doesn't come close to a "Smoky Mountain Wedding"

Does anyone know if McCain tans easily?

rofl rofl. No. But he says watamelon when it's real hot. I'm sorry ats. I try to add, not only in the best of cases.

@Andrew



We would be wouldn't we, no telling how many past relationships would have been family.
