Lincoln Was Himalayan Yogi?

(Conspiracy Nation, 02/15/06) -- You've heard of Yogi Berra and Yogi Bear. Now meet Yogi Lincoln.

A new book on Abraham Lincoln, Soul Journey: From Lincoln To Lindbergh, reportedly claims the Civil War president was a reincarnated Himalayan yogi. Adding to the astonishment is the reported claim that Lincoln later reincarnated as Charles Lindbergh, the aviator.

The book (image left) by Richard Silva is the latest in a series of startling Abe Lincoln books. In 2004, eyebrows were raised upon publication of a book claiming "Honest Abe" was homosexual.

These developments could be a reason why Lincoln's ghost is said to haunt the White House. Old Abe is not "resting in peace" possibly due to distress over wild claims.

Actor Liam Neeson is slated to star as Lincoln in an upcoming film. Steven Spielberg's movie is scheduled for release in 2007. Previously, Conspiracy Nation had reported, tongue-in-cheek, on a movie revealing Union Generals Grant and Sherman to be lovers. This now appears to be not so far-fetched: Who knows what the Spielberg film might depict?

Neeson also starred in the 2004 movie "Kinsey," oddly laudatory of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey. Kinsey, in fact, used aberrant samples of males and females for his studies which greatly tainted his findings. According to one critic, Kinsey's "male sampling was heavy with homosexuals, pedophiles, pederasts, convicts, pimps, and other sexually aggressive males whom he recruited at homosexual bars and bath houses, so these were completely unrepresentative of the average American male."

The fraudulence of Kinsey's research is noteworthy since C.A. Tripp, late author of The Intimate World Of Abraham Lincoln, was a protégé of Alfred Kinsey. It was Tripp's book which had caused such a fuss by claiming to prove Lincoln a homosexual. However analysis by Philip Nobile, who had worked with Tripp on his book, shatters Tripp's credibility. Nobile writes, in part, "in its attempt to be useful for gays today, The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln reaches far beyond the merely dubious. The book is a hoax and a fraud: a historical hoax, because the inaccurate parts are all shaded toward a predetermined conclusion, and a literary fraud, because significant portions of the accurate parts are plagiarized--from me, as it happens."

Also in the news has been critical enthusiasm for the film "Brokeback Mountain," depicting macho cowboys as gay. Singer Willie Nelson has reportedly recently released a song about gay cowboys suggesting all cowboys have a woman inside wanting to get out.

What is going on? Abraham Lincoln propagandized as gay, cowboys painted as queers, even George W. Bush widely rumored to be homosexual -- what's next? Is Homer Simpson gay too?

One writer surmises a conspiracy by "Log Cabin Republicans." They are a homosexual group aligned with the Republican Party. "Their deal," suggests the commentator, "is that Abraham Lincoln was gay and grew up in a log cabin, so they align themselves with his sexuality through endorsing his upbringing."

In the 1970s, a common-sense solution of "whatever occurs between consenting adults" appeared. Since that time, however, things have escalated. A powerful homosexual conspiracy to convert America seems to be underway. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been largely captured, to the overall detriment of much more important Bill of Rights causes. And if you yourself take issue with the ontological onslaught, then you are a "homophobe" -- in other words, secretly gay.
