Son Mi Yi English 102 Professor Broderick Sacco and Vanzetti: Medeiros and the Morelli Gang Theory Nicola Sacco, a skilled shoemaker with a growing family,and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a lonely fish peddler, were arrested for their assumed involvement in an unsuccessful heist in Bridgewater, and the robbery and murder of Fredrick A. Parmenter and Alexander Berardelli in South Braintree, Massachusetts. After trying to prove their innocence for seven long yearsSacco and Vanzetti were executed on August 23, 1927, more because they were immigrant Italian anarchist activists than for the murders and robbery of Slater and Morrill Shoe Company payroll money. They were executed despite growing suspicions by the New BedfordPolice and others had about the Morelli gang’s involvement in the South Braintree and Bridgewater affairs. Unfortunately the theory New Bedford Police had was never fully scrutinized and was disregarded by Chief of Police Michael E Stewart, and later by Judge Webster Thayer, because of their political prejudice towards immigrants and anarchists. According to the speech Italian Anarchist Professed Innocence Until Death by Susan Tejada, by the time Sacco and Vanzetti joined the 750,000 Southern and Eastern European immigrants who came to the United States in 1908, there was already a strong criticism and reaction to theirpresence in America.
He charged that there were 205 communist spies in the state department who were selling out the United States. McCarthy warned that there were communist traitors in American government and society that were threatening to destroy the United States. He declared: "When a great democracy is destroyed, it will not be because of enemies from without, but rather because of enemies from within." McCarthy called for a "moral uprising" of Americans to drive these dangerous communists out of government and society. He also declared that the United States had lost ground in the world not as a result of foreign aggression, but “because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this nation.” The corporate-controlled news media also shared the blame for McCarthy's ability to disseminate "great lies."
1、Austrian army officer Alfred Redl takes the cake. Before and during World War 1, Redl worked as a spy for the Russian military and sold secrets about the Austrian army. Redl leaked the Austrian invasion plan for Serbia, which Russia in turn sold to Serbia. He continued to double cross his countrymen by supplying the wrong information about Russia’s military strength and exposing Austrian agents to the enemy. The results were catastrophic for the Austrian army: his actions contributed to the deaths of half a million Austrians.

Following the assassination of his adopting father, Suetonius notes in The Lives of the Caesars that Octavian returned to Rome following military training in Spain and demanded Caesar’s will be ratified claiming his economical and political inheritance. Caesar’s will caused much tension between the new heir and his right-hand-man, Marc Antony. Antony was seen as a threat to the senate as he had spoken out against two of the senatorial murderers. Octavian was given consular powers hoping to contain Antony and fix many of Rome’s problems.
