President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated on Friday, November 22nd 1963 at 12:30 p.m in the Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. John Kennedy had many people with reason to kill him and in the leading six months to his death he received over 400 threats, a few of which were serious enough to change his security routine. Ultimately president Kennedy was shot in the head and throat with three bullets in his open topped car by Lee Harvey Oswald but the question that still remains today is who hired Oswald to kill JFK. The Mafia John Fitzgerald Kennedy murder may have been organized by the new Orleans mafia boss Carlos Marcello. The motive would be that despite the mafia’s major role in Kennedy getting elected, the president had Marcello deported just after he entered into office.
He is said to have inherited tens of millions of dollars that he used to help finance the group. Al-Qaida also maintains moneymaking front businesses, solicits donations from like-minded supporters, and illicitly siphons funds from donations to Muslim charitable organizations.

Osama Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011, in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad, north of the capital Islamabad, during a raid by U.S. Navy Seals. Since his death, Egyptian-born Saif al-Adel, who has long played a prominent role in the group, has temporarily become the acting leader of Al-Qaida.
The federal government has awarded grants to police departments in excess of $34 billion dollars since 2011 to purchase military equipment. The author believes that this military appearance of the police is pushing the citizens away from being able to trust in the police to protect them during events such as the one in Ferguson, Missouri. While I can see the author’s point of view on this, I can’t help but to disagree. I believe that it shouldn’t matter how the police are dressed or what kind of weapons they are carrying. Obeying the law all boils down to one thing.

The Involvement of Lee Harvey Oswald in the JFK Assassination John Fitzgerald “Jack” Kennedy was known to some Americans as one of the greatest president by far to serve office with that much attention you are bound to have some enemies throughout the world. On 26 November, 1963 Kennedy was assassinated while riding in his presidential Limousine in Dallas, Texas (Carter).

The Warren commission Report, an 889 page final report of the president’s assassination, reported that Lee Harvey Oswald was the one and only gunman. (“Warren”).
In this chapter the emphasis was particularly on the board of Trustees who would not hire any instructor that is likely to have lefty views. Parenti suggest the members sitting on the board of Trustees often are part of the establishment; they work for the biggest corporations that have their stakes in the policy orientation of the government. This phenomenon is still going on to this day where we witnessing attempt to rewrite history by the school apparatus in Texas. Lately the same State offered the United States a President that, some suggested, went to a major war (Iraq war) on false premise and gave lot of business opportunities to defense contractors companies, and Oil

South Asia after Osama bin Laden The US Navy Seals killed the most wanted terrorist in the world-Osama bin Laden in an independent operation in Abbottabad Pakistan on May 2 2011. His body was subsequently laid to rest in the waters of the Indian Ocean. By doing this, the US claims to have cut the head of Al-Qaeda and also avenge the deaths of 9/11. However the complete fallouts of this event are yet to unfold. And this is not because one person named Osama bin Laden who was accused of masterminding one of the dreadest acts of terrorism in history has been killed, but it is more because of the ideology which he personified and the stature he had acquired by using the Jehadi ideology to recreate the perception of the ‘clash of civilization’
The book 1984 by George Orwell is one of the most powerful warnings ever issued against the dangers of a totalitarian society. It illustrates the worst human society imaginable, in an effort to convince readers to avoid any path that might lead toward such societal degradation. In his book, Orwell talked about the invasion of government into our lives, the effect that it would be on our freedom and the repercussions in everyday life.

Now it is being said the Fourth Amendment’s promise of protection from government invasion of privacy is in danger of being replaced by the futuristic surveillance state Orwell described (Liptak, 2011).” By the same token, does 1984 present a startling and haunting vision of the world today?
