Even though he continued a continuous CIA effort to eliminate Castro, it wasn't enough to satisfy the exiles who were ready to try another invasion. They grew even angrier after federal authorities shut down many of their training camps and confiscated weaponry in the spring of 1963. o In October, just seven weeks before JFK's killing, one anti-Castro militant warned,...

...Introduction The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States of America has generally seemed very cut and dry. One man acted alone, and shot him while Kennedy was in a motor brigade. However, things aren’t always as they seem. Many Americans have speculated that not everything the so called “Official Report” tells us adds up entirely. Many have have pointed to the unusual amount of turns and windows along the route. However, there may be something even more suspicious than turns and windows going on. The Official Report On Friday, November 22, 1963 president John F. Kennedy was publicly assassinated on a motorcade through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was struck with two bullets. One of which was a fatal headshot. Governor of Texas, John B. Connally JR who was in the car with Kennedy was also shot, however, he survived. The Official Report, or The Warren Commission, claims three bullets were shot. This horrifying act was caught on tape by Abraham Zapruder. This film was dubbed, the Zapruder film. This allowed for frame-by-frame analysis. The shooting occurred from the sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository. Right along the path of JFK’s motorcade. The official ruling of the Warren Commission was that a man named Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone with no real motive....

...November 22, 1963. The assassination has been questioned to this day about whether or not the assassination was unjust or justified. The assassination of JFK was justified because he caused the Cuban Missile Crisis and The Bay of Pigs invasion; however, others believe differently about his actions. Kennedy’s assassination was justified because of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States provoked the Soviet Union into what could have been nuclear war. Before JFK placed the nuclear missiles in Turkey, Nikita Khrushchev, a Soviet Premier, placed missiles in...

...World War I and II, gangsters and criminals, and lots and lots of inventions. More events happened in the 1900’s than in the 17 and 1800’s. Some people say it is more interesting and they’d rather learn about the 1900’s. Also these things happened more recently and these things can happen again in a heartbeat. This is why students need to learn about the 1900’s more in school. In the 1900’s a lot of events happened. Learning about the 17 and 1800’s is mostly about the Civil War. Learning about the 1900’s would be about wars like WWI and WWII. Famous criminals like Bonnie and Clyde and Al Capone, who also came through Chicago, Illinois. All of the inventions from entertainment, to cleaning supplies, and to transportation. And some famous...

...means necessary” (History.com). He attack the nonviolence principles of the south (shawki). These attacks lead him to be a very influential leader of the Nation of Islam and the racial movement in general (history.com). Then, after JFK’s assassination, Malcolm X announced that “the chickens coming to roost,” which lead to his suspension from his group, The Black Muslims. After a while of the suspension, he left the Black Muslims and went to Mecca where he found out that Orthodox Muslims preached the same equality he always wanted and strived for (History.com). Then, after awhile in Mecca, he went back to America to meet his fate. Malcolm X is nows only days away from his assassination and he knew that it was going to happen at the rally he’s going to, but he had a plan (History.com). Malcolm X had written an autobiography in preparation for his death. He wrote this book in order to be more impactful in death than he was in life. Then, at his rally in New York, New York, he was assassinated by his own group, The Black Muslims, on February 21, 1965. His death did popularize his book and keep his ideas going long after his death (History.com). Malcolm X lead a influential and a leadership filled life and because of that he was one of the main reasons that America is where it is in terms of equality for all races. He helped with segregation laws and getting equal rights for all races, but mainly African Americans everywhere (Shawki). Finally, He used his power and violence to get...

Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a larger conspiracy that killed kennedy. There are three reasons, one is that oswald shot him with the help of a conspiracy. Oswald was eating his lunch on the second floor, but the gunshot came from the seventh floor. We believe that he was part of the CIA, which means he shot JFK and was trained to run fast. This could explain why he was eating his lunch on the second floor after he shot kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald was working with the CIA and a larger conspiracy to conclude the change of route. Kennedy’s first route was going to start...

...How Jim Morrison’s Poetry Lead A Movement The United States of America found itself in a peculiar situation near the closing of 1959 and the beginning of 1960. There was a tremendous split between two very different generations. The older generation was a collection of people that witnessed the terrible acts of communism and the reign of Hitler, they fought bravely to expel Nazi Germany from the world and witnessed an attack on their own nation. They were a nation of go-getters that believed in the American Dream and worked to fulfill it. The children of this noble and brave generation found themselves questioning the world they lived in and the powers that held control over them. This new, counter-culture generation was later coined the Hippie Generation. Through the Celebration of the Lizard, Jim Morrison reinvents the idea of freedom, excess, and the search for individual identity at a time where the counter-culture movement was gaining massive popularity. This new culture, created out of America’s individuality, later went on to become the biggest and most widespread movement that preached the importance of the individual and expelled any belief in capitalism. “The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom..” was a quote taken from William Blake, an English poet, that Jim Morrison held close to him. This quote is more than a line from a poem but a motto for a generation that strayed away from contemporary thought and forged a path that was their own in each and every way...

...The evidence for that is simple, most conspiracies are not true! They are simply a product of one's imagination! People come up with conspiracies all the time, mostly because they cannot get over what actually happened. You see this alot with famous figures, one example of this would be the conspiracy that Elvis Presley is still alive. “One issue with this evidence is that Elvis isn't buried in a tomb at all; he hasn't been since October 1977, when his body was moved to Graceland due to security concerns. OR WAS IT? Conspirators point to the discrepancy between the spelling of his middle name ("Aron" vs. "Aaron") between the King's birth certificate and gravestone. Reasons given for this include that the birth certificate was misspelled ... or that Elvis himself added the extra "a" later in life for personal reasons.”(Eddy, Cheryl). This quote is from an article that gives evidence to the claim, that Elvis is still breathing. All of these reasonings do not have solid evidence to them, that is because most of the time, their is not. It is just beliefs and ideas blended up in somebody's mind who does not want the king to be dead. “National Enquirer reportedly paid one of Elvis’ cousins $18,000 to smuggle a camera into the funeral home in order to take photos of Elvis’ dead body. The National Enquirer went on to publish these photos and this issue of their magazine became the top selling issue ever. However some people began to point out that some features of the body in the pictures...

...which is about “Money, Banking, and Financial Institutions.” There a lot of reasons I find this topic most interesting but I’m only going to focus on two. The first, is that I have plans to get my bachelor’s degree in finance and pursue a career in the finance. Secondly, I feel that our financial institutions are flawed and need major overhaul or to be completely dissolved. Over the years in my professional career, I’ve seen a shift of the executives that hold high positions in companies go from people with degrees in Marketing and Business Management to people with degrees in Finance. The reason for this shift is obvious; companies want executives who can understand the numbers and make the company profitable. Whereas the former executives just knew how to market the company, but not necessarily manipulate and drive the numbers. I have over 10 years of sales experience. I expect that coupling my experience with a degree in Finance could propel my career to new heights. I would be considered someone who understands what is needed to drive sales and someone who understands the numbers that move the bottom line. I am interested in familiarizing myself with all the different aspects of the financial world. I would like to understand how other countries deal with matters financially. Thus, I eagerly travel abroad so I could be able to relate the financial aspects of other countries to our own. Another reason why I am interested in finance is because I want to learn more about the...

...president and the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize.[4] Events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race—by initiating Project Apollo (which would culminate in the moon landing), the building of the Berlin Wall, the African-American Civil Rights Movement, and increased U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested that afternoon and charged with the crime that night. Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald two days later, before a trial could take place. The FBI and the Warren Commission officially concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin. The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) agreed with the conclusion that Oswald fired the shots which killed the president, but also concluded that Kennedy was probably assassinated as the result of a conspiracy.[5] Since the 1960s,...

Generally, those journalists do a competent job of reporting on the prospect’s record. In the case of Governor George W. Bush, Texas reporters had written numerous stories about his failed businesses in the oil patch, the dubious land grab and questionable funding behind a new stadium for Bush’s baseball team, the Texas Rangers, and his various political contradictions and hypocrisies while serving in Austin. I was one of those Texas journalists. I spent about a decade...

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
