Very interesting article on how the assasinations of world leaders throughout time have changed and influenced history.

Look, everybody knows that JFK ain't dead. He's living with Elvis and Anna Nichole.

I didn't do it.

The first world leader I have a vivid memory of being assassinated was Yitzak Rabin. I was 15 or 16 at the time, and that's when I began to realize the extent of the fundamental problems affected that area of the world.

You don't even know how to spell knoll Fotno, you couldn't have done it.

I watched a docu about John Wilks Booth and Abe Lincoln the other night and didn't realize that the mission also included the Sec of State and the Sec of Defense. The Sec of State should have died from the stabbing he received in his bed not long after Lincoln was shot. The third guy chickened out on the Sec of Defense.

'Twas said that Lincoln was sympathetic to the south and the south would have had a much easier time of reconstruction had the assassination not taken place.

We now sit and wonder how regimes and men could be so cruel as to assassinate someone like Bhutto but our track record is not much better.
Our CIA, using our military, assassinated the entire newly elected democratic cabinet and president of Guatemala in 1954. This at the behest of United Fruit Company, a plantation banana growing corporation whose corporate BOD just happened to include the United States Sec of Def & Sec of State, the Dulles Brothers.

United Fruit is now Chiquia Banana Corp and still a dirty player in world affairs with its own mercenary force to keep its slave labor and banana republic govts in line.

wikipedia scratches the surface of the Banana Republic War but a personal friend of mine was an Army Ranger on this black op. He was wounded quite severely but received no purple heart for this mission as it officially didn't happen.

Hawk, you only touch the surface. I have a feeling that all of the assasinations of world leaders have had a much broader story than the facts have come to reveal. All the things we don't know.......

Quite true QM, but you know as soon as we start discussing this subject, we almost immediately get attacked as being conspiracy theorists.

Well, I've been called worse so it doesn't bother me. After much heady reading and research, there's not much doubt in my mind who/what attempts to orchestrate world affairs. When it gets down to the nut cutting, it's always been about money even though it may be disguised as a something else, like religion or ideology. Someone smarter than me said follow the money and who makes it off both sides of war and conflict? The global bankers, the money men, the money changes; you know those guys Jesus ran out of the temple.

Makes you wonder just how many 'lesser known' leaders around the world are assassinated each year, yet get no coverage on the news.
