(286) Gaddafis "nearly 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 also parallels; North Americans, blondes, actresses, singers, beauties, superstars... The goalposts quite shifted as I later heard, from a "spiritual source", that it was a kind of "thematic or archetypal life". He also said of the success of musician Julian Lennon that this was due to an "overshadowing" by his assassinated father, John.

Ah, well then... 

Around that same time the same "spiritual source" opined that Mussolini had reincarnated as Colonel Gaddafi. I scrutinised their faces and saw that there are indeed similar lineaments.
But, without being ´armed´ with that supposition, these similarities might never occur to you. Also, of course, both autocrats who, in effect, ran their own fiefdoms and were then killed by their own people.

Around lunchtime on March 11th 2017 I was reading this piece of Jonathan Freedland´s in The Guardianhttps://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 when Gaddafi appeared. So I Googled Gaddafi and discovered from Wikipedia that he was (probably) born in 1942. 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.
