(286) Gaddaffis "reborn"
In the mid 1980s the idea circulated that Madonna was Marilyn Monroe reborn. She denied having any confidence in it. Madonna was born in 1958 whilst Monroe died in 1962. Yet there are parallels; American, blonde, actress, singer, beauty, superstar...
The goalposts quite shifted as I later heard that it was a kind of "thematic or archetypal life".
Ah well then.
Around that same time I heard, apparently stemming from a "spiritual source", that Mussolini had become Colonel Gaddaffi. I scrutinised their faces and saw that there are similar lineaments. But, without being ´armed´ with the supposition, these similarities might never occur to you. Also, of course, two autocrats who, in effect, ran their own fiefdoms and were then both killed by their own people.
Around lunchtime on March 11th 2017 I was reading this piece of Jonathan Freedland´s in The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/mar/11/1930s-humanity-darkest-bloodiest-hour-paying-attention-second-world-war
The photo of Mussolini prompted me to mention this suggested progression of identity to my wife and she said that she had heard it from me years before and had dissed it because their lives overlapped. I did not recall her saying so, I knew Mussolini was hanged at the end of World War Two but was uncertain of when the other guy appeared.
So I Googled Gaddaffi and discovered from Wikipedia that he was (probably) born in 1942. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muammar_Gaddafi I originally entered something re "Death of Colonel Gaddaffi". My second search was just his name.
A few moments later, at about 14:14, I saw I had two new e mails, the first having been sent at 11:25.
It read -
Although I had lost count of the silly e mails I had received asking for my help to transfer and thus gain millions of $, most had gone straight into my Spam folder and not my legitimate Inbox.
And this was the first specifying a recognisable individual. Indeed, one with her own Wikipedia Entry -

I had already been thinking of President Carter´s reaction to the 1986 US bombing of Libya which had led to the reported death of Gaddafi´s daughter. Carter appeared on TV to say

"If somebody were to kill one of my children there is nothing I would not be prepared to do to get even."
Those words from an ex-President, subsequent Nobel Peace Prize laureate and devout Christian. Over a decade later I read that in fact Gaddafi´s daughter had not been killed and the story was just an attempt to smear US integrity. And it was only in response to this patently bogus e mail purporting to be from her that I was led to other pieces on Ayesha Gaddafi and thereby learned for the first time that the story was in fact true.
And also false! For it was her adopted sister who had been killed by those US bombs.
A couple of days later I was to receive two more e mails from a Aisha Gaddafi or Aisha al-Qadaffi. And then on March 17th 2017 one from a Ayesha Gaddafi. Each requested my assistance in transference of large sums of money.
And two more e mails from her arrived on May 25th 2017. And several more in early June 2017 and later.
