The following is mostly from "Pandora's Box", by Alex Christopher, which includes information about "hidden" United States history and elite families. According to records found by Christopher, I shall continue with Abraham Lincoln, his family, and connections into modern US history. In a nutshell (there is much, much, more to this), Lincoln's true father was a Springs, originally Springstein (then where's the Boss?), which is a branch of the Rothschilds ('nuff said). Lincoln, in turn, had his own natural children by a Habsburg daughter farmed out in the US (future controlled opposition between these two related factions), and his descendants by her include Howard Hughes (who like Lincoln also has many illegitimate descendants all across the country), and the astrologer and author Linda Goodman (my stars!). His official wife Mary Todd belonged to the Illuminati Collins family of witches, and Lincoln himself was a Rosicrucian on the Council of Three (Order of the Lily), with Paschel Beverly Randolph and General Ethan Allen Hitchcock. The niece of a nephew by marriage to one of Lincoln's natural daughters married James Baker, Secretary of State and White House Chief of Staff to President Bush Sr., and afterwards as a UN envoy to Western Sahara and an Enron consultant. A cousin of Lincoln, Leroy Springs, had great-granddaughter Crandall Close Bowles, one of the top women executives in the United States, and thus the world (Chairman of Springs Industries, Inc., Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of Springs Global, Chairman Emeritus of the Springs (private investment) Company, Director of the Carolina Federal Reserve Bank, Director of JP Morgan Chase, Member of the Committee of 200, Hillary financial supporter, among many other "real player" positions and connections). She is married to Erskine Bowles, former White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton, thus we have both Republican and Democratic Chiefs of Staff from the same Elite 1% family, two sides of the same coin, and more controlled opposition, even today? He also served as Democratic co-chair of President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Erskine and Crandall Bowles are now fundraising for Joe Biden this year, so this brings us right up to date, as this family have been and are making US history, especially if the Washington and Lincoln connections are true. By the way, and this is a fact, George Washington, besides having a de Vere descent, is the 2nd cousin, 7 times removed of Queen Elizabeth II, and the 4th cousin, 7 times removed of Queen Elizabeth I. If the latter really had Edward de Vere and Francis Bacon as children, then they are kin to Washington also, with their Shakespeare, Freemason, Rosicrucian, John Dee, King James Bible, Virginia Company, "New Atlantis", etc. relationships. It really doesn't get any better (or bitter) than this!
