This information shocked me when I first heard about the familial connections between celebrities and politicians. You probably knew that there were many children of celebrities that grew up to become famous, (nepotism in those causes was obvious), but did you know that many US presidents were related to each other and to various celebrities? So many elite actors are distantly related to royalty, especially to the lineage of Queen Elizabeth.
I used to think actors were “discovered” by chance but now it seems more likely that they were chosen from among a group of elites. What are the chances that all of these elite people became randomly famous but they are coincidentally related?
I think a sign of intelligence is: open-mindedness, the ability to think for yourself, the ability to question authority/mainstream mindset and the courage to share your perceptions, risking ridicule or disdain. I know the information in the video clip below seems fantastical and bizarre but please resist the urge to automatically deny it’s plausibility. I think the video clip is fascinating and validating, (I came up with similar observations) during my research.
“Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society, founded in 1845, said Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six US presidents his cousins: both Bushes, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman and James Madison. The society, a non-profit organisation, found he is also related to Churchill.”

“The first black American president, Barack Obama, became president probably because it is his birth right. Obama descended from England’s King Edward I, as well as other presidents like George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Benjamin Harrison, Grover Cleveland, James Madison, and William Henry Harrison. Being a politician is really in their blood.”
The YouTube channel, “A Call to an Uprising” is very intense and comes from a Christian perspective, I don’t agree with all of the theories there and to be honest it’s depressing to watch at times but I think this video clip below is very informative.

I think celebrities, (actors and musicians especially) are the mouthpieces of political propaganda. They’re the “influencers” that lead the public to think and believe in political agendas. The entire list of connections between famous elites is probably even more entwined than the superficial list that I found in my brief online search.
Is this a case of the sins of the father bring passed on to the child?

Maybe? It would explain why so many look like each other. Aristocratic inbreeding?

Some. are for sure very distantly related to other people. Even in England many of the actors and actresses have long lineages of family in the business. I guess it gave them a foot in the door. I am sure it is the same in the US. The dad is a famous actor, therefore the son or daughter will have a leg up on anyone else going for the part.

Yes it’s like that in the US too, families in the entertainment industry, but it amazed me how many politicians/celebrities have been distantly related to royalty or previous presidents. Obama for instance is related to several past presidents, it seems very intentional. I don’t think “average” people are allowed into the circle, it looks like it’s by invitation only. I used to think that luck and talent were the key factors by now I don’t think that’s the case.
