A 7th grader made national news this week when her genealogy report revealed that 42 of the 43 U.S. presidents are descendants of King John Lackland of England. (Our 8th President Martin Van Buren is the only one not related.)

BridgeAnne d'Avignon was supposed to trace her own genealogy for the assignment, but doing so sparked her interest and she ended up spending months researching 500,000 names before coming to this amazing discovery. I actually went to the same school she attends and did that same project -- it's still in my closet somewhere -- so now I'm thinking I should have put more effort into it... But what do you guys think? Are her findings believable?

NYDAILYNEWS.COM reports:
A young California girl made the ultimate presidential family tree and found that all of the U.S. commander-in-chiefs except for one share an ancestor - King John of England.

And his college records.

I once saw a NOVA program where they followed the DNA of one man and traced it back generations and generations to the one small tribe in Africa. So in actual fact we are all related at some point along the way.

(added today)..because RH negative blood is related to reptilians ( now, you have to ask, if roswell and the rest of the UFO crashes never happened, how do they know its linked to reptilians/gray aliens ) ..you can read my other posts saying why ..was us the usa really created, to bring about all those bible prophecies..that the 4 horsemen in the bible apply to all americans...( or just RH negative blood types ) maybe this is why i'm getting so many hidden objects..i guess now, i need to check all the dead presidents blood types, before eisenhower..and maybe bush jr. is an RH negative blood type..if people did evolve ( china ) pyramids ,hundreds of them with mummies..all 7 foot tall ,red headed white guys..when then did the chinese, with slanted eyes, small, brown skin..evolve ? not in the timeline they claim...now ,thats funny

The reason science hasn't found the link between the monkey and the intelligent being is because we are the link. It's the intelligent being they haven't found.

They haven't found the missing link yet because it is an alien. What the hell is a pyramid doing on an American dollar bill? I hope I don't fall into the can of worms. Too late, we're all already in it, owned & controlled by the elite. Perhaps the only way to stop this is revolution. It sickens me that those with all the money & control are the WORST type of humans to have inherited it. As a human race, we're probably screwed.

When you hire an attorney or one gets appointed for you by the court, you are in fact admitting to the court that you are incompetent to represent yourself , and mentally unstable to the point that you must become a ward of the court (of the state), giving up all of your rights. Attorney’s, like police, are there to ensure that code is followed, and to object to anything the court does that might entitle his client to sue the court (the state). A monetary value must always accompany any judgement, and the attorney ensures compliance with legal procedure. He does not represent you, but instead represents the court. A BAR’d attorney has taken an oath to uphold the legal requirements of the judicial system. What you must understand is that the BAR stands for “BRITISH ACCREDITED REGISTRY”. This association is housed in London England, or more properly, the small area in London that is not part of England, but rather like Washington D.C. in the fact that it is its own country – a corporate “state” controlling our own.

Even the family court is linked to some evil, biased secret court from way back. It's horrible. Stop the world I wanna get off!

reply
caninev69 to sean 2012/08/10 23:27:48

Yeah, & you'll probably find it's privately owned too. It's interesting that a person's name is written in capital letters on court documents, as they are referred to as the 'corporation' of John Smith, not as the individual. Apparently, it goes back to the old nautical laws, where, when a birth certificate is generated, the parents are surrendering their child to the state as 'flotsam & jetsum'! The state then borrows $1M against the newborns earning potential. I haven't been able to verify this fact yet though, but if it's true it just goes to show the the utter disdain that governments feel about the public.

Somewhere in my files I have a text version of a book that says the war was put up. A former associate whom I've mentioned in this thread, had a biography of Washington written shortly after his death. The appendix contained a letter from the former governor of Massachusetts assuring "his majesty" that he still reigned supreme over his kingdom, British Israel. I have always taken that as telling the king, "Never mind surface appearance. We're still in charge here."

I'm a Hopeful Agnostic. By that I mean I hope there is a just God presiding over the universe. If there is, they will pay and no amount of "Praise Jesus," "Allah Be Praised," "Hail Mary," of wailing at a wall in Jerusalem will lift one iota of the punishment they've earned from them. Although they will receive just punishment, I believe they and every creature cognizant of its own existence will eventually be in Paradise, whatever that is. Nothing we can do in this short lifetime could deserve eternity in Hell.

Geneology is not a matter or coincidence, but one of causality. Kings use their power to take care of their children, in the hopes that the ones who don't get the throne submit to the ones who do, giving the children of demoted station a competitive edge over others of the station they enter, this means royal blood will trickle down to the higher nobility, who take care of their children in a similar matter, thus trickling down to the lower nobility, and even the peasantry(While the heirs practiced extreme endogamy, those further from the front-running would marry beneath their station without qualms). King John lived long enough ago, that for anyone of English decent, not being descended from him is a lower probability than being his descendant.

I am descended from him also, as is a huge percentage of the Western World,

Did she prove that Van Buren was *not* related? I dont think that is possible, but she couldn't prove he is either. We can't say that he's not related, only that she could not trace him back to Lackland.
