This page "explains" it all. I thought of this upon hearing on the news of a recent plan to assassinate *.

5. Having had my father die of Alzheimer's,
I think a case could be made for Reagan being subject to the curse as well. The trauma of the assassination attempt triggered it, just as the trauma of an operation triggered my father's Alzheimers. By the time RR left office, he was well in the grip of the disease.

13. cold blood transfusion
It has also been asserted that a cold blood transfusion that Reagan received during the operation to save his life after the shooting may have triggered the Alzheimer's onset...

6. I especially thoought this sentence was accurate.
"The drawback of these placements for Bush is the possibility that he can be a hollow man with no personal center, identified only with the forces of his family, environment, and the collective currents that are moving through him."

7. Does Tecumseh's curse apply to a zombie Stepford puppet?
If the curse is still active, it would probably apply to the puppetmeisters, Cheney, Rove, et al. If brain death counts, I guess Raygun and Shrubler are keeping it going.

Tenet's Resignation SubstantiatesÊ
Allegations Of Assassination Plot
Ê
4th June 2004

by Simon Aronowitz

George Tenet's resignation surprised many in the USA yesterday. According to the Guardian newspaper, even Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice were only informed yesterday morning in a meeting with President Bush. Readers of a little known website, however, knew last Tuesday 25th May that George Tenet's resignation was imminent.

The story publicly available at ThoughtCrimeNews.com advised readers that the resignation of Tenet, as well as those of Colin Powell and Richard Armitage, were inevitable. It further alleged, according to information provided, that the Bush Administration trio were to resign because their involvement in a plot to assassinate President Bush, and perhaps others, had been uncovered. Edited:

Not sure what the end result was to this rather bizarre story - it doesn't appear to have been followed through to any conclusion - and was possibly wishful thinking !

9. There is no such thing as karma, or "curses".
There is only coincidence, synchronicity, and the human mind's pattern-recognition abilities making something out of nothing.

10. No. It's nonsense.
You listed Reagan in the list of presidential deaths even though he didn't die in office in order to make it look good. This alone shows the foolishness of this idea.

11. And this too
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42142

"A Tunisian astrologer who reportedly predicted the deaths of Princess Diana, Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Yasser Arafat says President Bush will be killed by an assassin's bullet in 2005."

18. FDR
FDR had all of thge classic signs of an impending massive stroke during 1944. His illness was covered over by his handlers so as not to cast doubt on his abilities during the 1944 presidential election. Harry Wallace was remnoved as VP because the party leaders knew of FDR's mortality.
