The President Meets the King...

[ddeclue]

Elvis' Birthday was the 8th

Nixon's was 9th of January.

Coincidentally they once met at the White House on Dec 21, 1970

There was a hilarious movie made about it in 1997:

1. Elvis asked Nixon to kick the Beatles out of the country

NOT cool.

2. Which was kind of ridiculous since the Beatles had broken up by then anyways...

both Nixon and Elvis were living in a bubble by that point and had no real clue about the world.

3. But Nixon DID try to get John Lennon booted out of the country.

He had the FBI tail him for quite a while, and then tried to get him deported because of a weed possession charge from the 1960's.

4. Yeah but not because Elvis asked him to...

Nixon hated and feared John Lennon as much as he did John Kerry over their opposition to the Vietnam War. He really was a paranoid personality and didn't understand people from the post WWII generation - he did see both Lennon and Kerry as serious threats to his power because he realized that they had a great deal of eloquence and charisma though.

Nixon was after Lennon, he was after Kerry, he was after a lot of people he disliked, distrusted, hated and/or feared. Remember the enemies list?

5. Nixon was a tool of the Bush Crime Family since 1946

Would you expect any less of them? And yeah, I think they're the ones that had John killed too. Too many similarities between that hit and the attempt on Reagan just a few months later.

6. I don't blame them for Lennon's death.

or the attempt on Reagan.

Sometimes a nut job is just a nut job.

7. But the Hinkley nut job was connected to Poppy

And the Chapman nut job was connected to Hinkley, as both served as "missionaries" in World Vision an alleged religious organization which is actually a front for the CIA.

Seriously.
