Main conspirators hung were Catholic. Main conspirator (John Surratt) escaped to and was given asylum in Vatican (then “Holy See”), causing end of diplomatic relations (which Pres Reagan, over 100 years later, reinstated in 1984). CT Wilcox TRANSFORMATION OF THE REPUBLIC (if you can find it) book showed primary evidence of (Vatican) Jesuit foreknowledge of the Lincoln assassination (original copies of Western Union telegraph forms from Catholic clergy alerting distant churches of the assassination, days ahead of its occurrence). If you look, you will find that the land at the crossing of the Potomac was Catholic owned, Vatican Jesuit controlled. Vatican. Jesuit. Catholic. The true culprit’s fingerprints are all over this mega event. Coupled with the Founding Fathers’ numerous written and reported comments warning against Vatican, Jesuits, Catholics, all of this should paint a clear picture of what happened and what has been going on ever before and ever since. Interestingly enough, 87 men died on the night of April 23 in search of Booth. The Black Diamond was commissioned to search the Potomac in hopes of catching Booth crossing. Around midnight, the Black Diamond was at anchor with only one light showing (standard for a ship during picket duty) and a ship named The Massachusetts containing approximately 400 slammed into the Diamond on her port side striking the boiler. The explosion put over 100 people into the water and sank the Black Diamond within three minutes. Just goes to show the harried chaos that went on in the search of John Wilkes Booth. // My goodness if that doesn’t sound like a Gigantic Engineered DISTRACTION what could be?!? Another interesting fact: Cherie Booth (wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair) is a distant relative of John Wilkes Booth through her father, Anthony George Booth, who was also an actor.
In “the different times back then” mentioned about when Lincoln supposedly walked the DC street unguarded — in those times, the “us versus Them”, the “Them” was the monarchy and religiousity overseas (particularly Catholica); people had not yet realized the whole country was setup as Babylon to be controlled and demised.
Lincoln was actually an avid wrestler holding somewhat of a nice win/loss ratio.
Surratt’s son being recognized in Europe and sent back to the U.S. reminds me of the infamous New York City political Boss Tweed. He was exposed as a criminal by Thomas Nast’s cartoons and when he was finally going to be put in jail, he escaped to Europe (Spain, I think) and he was recognized by the famous cartoons and sent back to the States where he went to prison!
Wallace Simpson and her husband were originally to be buried at Green Mount Cemetery, but the Queen allowed them to be buried in England. That is an incredible beautiful cemetery.
Look into the “Booth Mummy”
It would have been interesting for you to have said something about Boston Corbett, the man who shot Booth. Corbett was a real weirdo.
I had read many years ago that, following his service, Boston Corbett became a religious zealot of sorts. He self-castrated himself, then became lost to history.
fitting the Catholic Vatican Jesuit underlay of this event, think Boston Corbett might have been Opus Dei? Sent to ‘clean up loose ends’ ?
If you like to read check out Stealing Lincoln’s Body. Gives a great story on what happen after Lincoln was already dead.
Extremely reminiscent of Stealing JFK’s body; murder victims / investigations are investigated first in-state, at state level; the body grab fly away was an escape.
I watched a documentary many years ago that suggested the Booth capture and killing was staged and there was so much pressure to capture him that they dyed someone’s hair and made someone look like Booth. Many years later in the Oklahoma territory on a deathbed, a man confessed to being Booth. They showed photos and it looked like him and sure enough he walked with a limp. It was a fairly convincing documentary.
Yes and the story of Wilkes life in Granbury TX where he took the name John St. Clair and I think was a bartender at a bar near the Opera house…coincidence? also a very good thing to investigate. I think the Story you both collaborated on was the one that the government wanted told, so they made it to look like that is what happened. I like yo see you do historical research on the OK and TX Booth, who I believe was the real Booth who got away.
Well done Gentlemen. Seen and read so much on this, but your video was particularly interesting with it’s chronological on-the-ground view. Very interesting. One can almost hear the spirits.
Important to note, the Fords Theater is a recreation. The building was gutted out to the walls, and floors were added. The building was used a s government document warehouse for years. The interior collapsed at one point. In the 1950s Congress authorized funds to rebuild the interior to the specifications of the original theatre. They rebuilt the Presidents box, the curved balcony’s and the stage. It’s a faithful representation of the theatre as it was on that terrible night in April 1865.
You should have mentioned that Ford’s Theatre was closed and shut down after the assassination. It became a military office. It then was in dire condition and had to be restored after 3 floors collapsed. So there is very little left that is original
If anyone is interested in more books on the Lincoln assassination here’s a few that are definitely recommended..Manhunt by James Swanson..my favorite of them all..Blood on the Moon by Edward Speers..very informative and well researched..American Brutus by Michael W. Kauffman..Killing Lincoln bt Billy O’Reilly is very good..these are a few I recommend! Enjoy!
