    Default Curious Case of Criminal Last Names

    In 1978 I was looking through a book called New Dictionary of American Family Names by Elsdon C. Smith :{ it is availabe in most public libraries} I happened to glance at an open newspaper at a story about serial killers.I began looking up the last name meanings of murderers.I discovered that there is a statistical probability that murderers have one of four types of location last names.
    {1} Dweller or near in a swamp,moor,wasteland,marsh or muddy place.
    {2} Dweller in a forest ,grove of trees,or clearing in a wood.
    {3} Dweller in a deep valley or hollow.
    {4} Dweller on barren or uncultivated land.
    Examples:
    Richard Speck>Speck:On who came from Speke {brushwood} in Lancashire.
    Kissinger {German} One who came from Kissing{swamp} in Germany.
    Cheney {French} One who came from Chaney{oak grove} in France.
    Bush :Dweller on barren ground {brushy/land where bushes/weeds grow}

    George Bush,Henrey Kissenger & Dick Cheney are considered "criminals guilty of war crimes".

    In the best selling nonfiction book The Devil in the White City the writer tells the true tale of one of America's first serial killers ,Herman Mudget,who built a "hotel" near the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair.This "hotel" had a gas chamber,disecting table,and crematorium..where the women Mudget lured to his establishment met their deaths.

    Mudget:{English} Dweller in or near a swamp....

    Curmudgeon: a bad tempered ,cantankerous,difficult man....this word is related to Mudget IMO.

    Lake:{English} Dweller at a dried up water course in the moors,
    Leonard Lake video taped his murders in California .

    On page 276 of New Dictionary of American Family Names it says "Kissinger,Kissing {Ger}One who came from Kissing{swamp} in Germany.

    Your link says nothing about what Kissing means..It only gives info about a municipality in Bavaria which in the distant past had a hill that was swept away by the flooding of the river Lech. Not exactly a high & dry place by the looks of it....Have you ever been to Bavaria?

    I don't believe Oswald was one of the shooters of Kennedy. He was a patsy, just like he said, and he was shot before he could get a chance to spill what beans he had. Much new information has come out about Oswald by the way in Ed Haslam's book Dr. Mary's Monkey as well as in Judyth
    Vary Baker's book Me and Lee

    Oswald did not kill Kennedy -- and more than that, he did not WANT to kill Kennedy...! He was set up, and he knew he was set up, but didn't have a clue on how to extricate himself. The best he felt he could do was to NOT shoot at Kennedy, and I believe that that is exactly what he did, was he did not even shoot at him (if he shot at all).

    Another interesting thing came up -- I wish I could remember who said it -- maybe someone here will remember -- Oh! I think I remember now that it was Ed Dames the remote viewer who said it -- that Kennedy was actually shot from a device that had been installed in the dashboard of the car he was in. It was set pointing right at his head and I don't think Dames said who did it, but I imagine it was either the driver or Connally (who was in the passenger right seat) who must have had some button to push or something of the like to activate it. This also explains WHY the car itself was immediately DESTROYED -- they destroyed the evidence!

    Sorry for going off-topic. Just upsets me when I hear his name in a list of assassins (even though you posted that you knew he was a patsy).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec
    The Aztecs/Mexicas migrated from the north & eventually settled on a small SWAMPY island in Lake Texcoco in 1325...this island was their base for over 100 years until 1428 when they became the dominant power in central Mexico.
    I read a book that I can no longer locate that said the Aztecs subsisted by eating ,fish,reptiles & pond scum while living on the island.

    The Aztecs instituted the idea of continual,ongoing warfare & human sacrifice on a grand scale to keep the Sun moving across the sky.

    Just read that wikipedia article about Lake. What's the deal with men wanting their wives to appear in porno films? seriously, I knew a guy who got mad- real mad at his wife for not having oral sex with another man for $ 20.00. I ask him why he did that and his reply was "that's 20 dollars we could have had". I tell you there is a lot of messed up people that you DON'T read about in the newspapers running around. Anyone who would "pimp"out their wife is in need of some serious mental help....
