John Kerry's name was almost John Kohn. His family were Jews from the Austro-Hungarian empire who converted to Catholicism and changed their name from Kohn to Kerry before emigrating to America in 1904.

Almost any family moving tot he US changed their name to escape prejudice. I know that my family's name was changed on the way over. It's not some sort of sinister plot to take over the world.

(In response to previous retort since deleted regarding the above shrub link and if people really believe said BS)

Only Americans ;P

We live in a fear based society where appeals to fear seem very persuassive. So let us not cloud the delussions with facts. We may not be prepaired to accept the Truth.

Here's some more trivia for you weirdos:

George Bush and John Kerry are ninth cousins, twice removed, with seven other common ancestors.

They are also both members of Yale's secret society "Skull and Bones".

I deleted it because once I actually looked at the site, it was obviously satire. You can never tell with Bush though.

I got a printout of this at some Bon Jovi Concert that supposedly had Kerry speaking (though, thanks to lack of organization on the party's part, about 1/3rd of the people there were able to see him start four hours after scheduled. I was not one of the "lucky ones."), claiming that he and his wives are actually fronting for The Illuminati. Now that I've gone to the site, I've seen that it's from the lovely folks at Landover Baptist, but the old guy handing out flyers seemed to seriously believe that.

Of course, we all know that it's almost impossible to be Catholic in the Illuminati, since Il Papa's spies are too good to allow that, and they've stepped up the war effort recently. Also, was Bavaria part of The Empire in 1904?
