| The Profit's Curse You remember this, right? At the Battle of Tippecanoe, according to legend, the great Shawnee Chief Tecumseh, one of the first chiefs to work toward uniting all the tribes in peace, was killed by General William H. Harrison's troops. So, Tecumseh's brother, The Prophet, brought General William Henry Harrison a message… a prophecy that history justifiably labeled, 'Tecumseh's Curse': The curse went thus: “Harrison will not win this year to be the Great Chief. But he may win next year. If he does...He will not finish his term. He will die in his office.' 'No president has ever died in office,' declared a visitor. 'But Harrison will die I tell you. And when he dies you will remember my brother Tecumseh's death. You think that I have lost my powers. I, who caused the sun to darken and Red Men to give up firewater. But I tell you Harrison will die. And after him, every Great Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let everyone remember the death of our people.'" So, what exactly happened to Harrison, and how did The Prophet’s Curse play out? Let’s see - After Harrison was elected in 1840, he caught a cold on inauguration day and died of pneumonia one month later. Lincoln - Elected in 1860, assasinated. Garfield - Elected 1880, assasinated before his first year was out. McKinley - Elected 1900 - assassinated also in the first year. Harding - Elected 1920 - died of pneumonia. FDR - Elected to first term in 1932, and to his third (when it was still legal) in 1940 - died in office, stroke (medical records missing). JFK - Elected 1960 - assassinated. Why haven't I heard anyone mention this lately? Did everyone think it ended with Reagan? Or is everyone paranoid that they'll get a visit from Weak & Stupid's SS boys like Pensacola seamstress Margaret Richard did when she sent her angry email to Florida legislator Rep. Allen Trovillion about his offensive anti-gay remarks.... and she cc'd Smirk and younger Brother Jeb! YOU GO MARGARET! Personally, I don't think it ended with Ronnie. And being of Native American decent, Cherokee and Choctaw, (ok, so my ancestors got busy on their way west from Scotland and Ireland), I tend to believe these things and take them very seriously - I suppose the Celtic blood doesn't hurt either. Yeah I know, he dodged Hinckley’s bullet, and yes, he's still alive. Physically. But mentally? Now, please understand, I am not bashing an Alzheimer's victim. I have lived with it first hand. My father died from it last year. And as anyone who has ever been witness to it's devastation will tell you - they are not the same person they once were. They die mentally. It is literally the death of mental function, which finally leads to physical death. It is a horror. You cannot even say goodbye to them. The person who loved you and remembered you is already gone. (Daddy, I miss you, but I am very glad you aren’t here to see what they’re doing to the country you loved and fought to protect.) Ronald Reagan did die in office – just not physically. Remember how it got to the point he wasn’t making any sense and they rarely let him speak in public? So if the curse is still in full swing, and what on Earth has the United States government done to make the Native American people, and the spirit of the Prophet for that matter, want to lift it? The real question beyond “is Smirk actually alive?” Is this: Considering that Bush The Younger wasn’t elected, yet is our current Great Chief, who does the curse claim jurisdiction over? Al Gore, although elected by The People, was not “chosen to be Great Chief”, that was done by The Hive of Five, who chose Twig. But is Twig really in charge? Is Cheney the clandestine Great Chief? I suppose time will tell…. Unless a further requirement of the Great Chief is to be human, which the curse is not specific on, it only says "every Great Chief chosen", it doesn't even specify male or female. Either way, if humanity is a requirement, I suppose Weak & Stupid and Uncle Dick are safe. |
