Julius And Ethel Rosenberg Count Of Conspiracy
In 1951 Julius Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted and in 1953, executed on the count of conspiracy to commit espionage. Julius Rosenberg was born in New York to Polish immigrant parents. In 1940 he joined and became the leader of the Young Communist League, where he met Ethel Rosenberg. Julius and Ethel became full members in the American Communist Party but by 1943, the couple dropped out of the Communist Party, supposedly to pursue Julius’ espionage activities. Early in 1945, Julius was fired from his job during the Red Scare in the United States because of the knowledge of his participation in the Communist Party. In 1946 he created the G & R Engineering Company with David Greenglass, Bernard Greenglass, and Isadore Goldstein.

    THE MOB FELT BETRAYED IN 1963. Chicago godfather Sam Giancana had helped Kennedy win the 1960 election through skulduggery, and Miami mobster Santos Trafficante had aided the CIA in its assassination attempts on Castro. But rather than pledging their loyalty, the Kennedys launched an all-out campaign against organized crime. Attorney General Robert Kennedy first went after Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa and then deported New Orleans syndicate boss Carlos Marcello to Guatemala. Pushed around long enough, and angry at the president for going soft on Castro -- who had shut down its lucrative Cuban casinos -- the mob made someone an offer he couldn't refuse. Oswald was either its hit man or its patsy. Upon his arrest, the mob dispatched Jack Ruby to silence him.…

    His brother Robert Kennedy, who served as Attorney General during the Kennedy administration broke down on organized crime. One theory declares that the Mob was ireful with attempts by Robert. The mafia had no real interest in John F. Kennedy. Maybe his brother Robert, but not the President.Alliance between the Soviet Union and US were extremely low at the time of Kennedy's death, with both sides not able to trust each other. One popular theory is that Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Premier, instructed the attack on Kennedy because he was abashed at having to give up following the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 gave very good reasons not to like Kennedy to the Soviet security agency KGB. A version of the theory also suggests…

In the Case of Lee Harvey Oswald, I will prove that Mr. Oswald is innocent without a shadow of a doubt, due to the conspicuous yet controversial facts and evidences that substantially stands out. Who in the right mind would think that Mr. Oswald is guilty, when he is just a regular citizen whose life seemed like a collection of clichés from a movie, even though he was a latchkey child, he was able to be independent and stand on his own .…

    A). One of the main fears arising in the country was the fear of communists within the country itself and many people knew that it could have very bad consequences if communism infiltrated the sanctuary of democracy (Doc. B). In order to keep the crowds’ fears under control, Eisenhower (along with Truman’s previous actions) helped to create the Loyalty Review Board. This helped the government to sort out the bad weeds within its very own structure. The next organization created helped find communists, too. This committee was known as the HUAC, which was lead by future president Richard Nixon. He helped to capture many communists and his most famous was his take-down of Alger Hiss. Another important event that took place was the arrest and eventual execution of the Rosenbergs, who were secretly passing information to the Soviets about the atomic bomb. The final event that helped ease the fears of…

    Joseph McCarthy was a junior senator from Wisconsin who gave a speech in West Virginia in February 1950 in which he made the threat of communism clear to the people, “Today, only six years later, there are 800 million people under the absolute domination of Soviet Russia - an increase of over 400 percent. On our side the figure has shrunk to around 500 million. In other words, in less than six years the odds have changed from 9 to 1 in our favor to 8 to 5 against us” (Document G).

    The Hiss and Rosenberg trials were very politically convenient for the federal government. The trials were politically convenient because the federal government finally provided proof that there was something to fear and that “communist infiltration” and “espionage” was real. During the time there was a "culture war" going on in America because of the current “Cold War”. Throughout the “culture war” fear of treason, terror, and espionage threats was one of the ways that the government supported “anti-communist” feelings. Anti-communism became evident throughout the nation with the Hiss and Rosenberg trials, the main causes of the hysteria. This hysteria in history can be compared to the hysteria happening today known as “anti-terrorism”.…

    Did Adolph Hitler really commit suicide on April 30, 1945? Hitler is believed to have poisoned and shot himself along with his newlywed wife, Eva Braun, on April 30, 1945 while in an underground bunker in Berlin. Then, Hitler and his wife’s body were burned outside the bunker. However, many questioned whether this really happened so they have conspiracies on Hitler’s death. Three main conspiracies that really challenge Hitler’s suicide are that the skull found in the bunker did not belong to him, no shots were heard by bystanders in the bunker, and he had an imposter kill himself. So Hitler’s death may have been a hoax due to the evidence from several sources, showing that Hitler may have never committed suicide in that bunker and he had escaped from Germany.…
