The Rothschild banking family went down in history as the owners of the largest private wealth not only in the world but even in history with affiliate properties in London, Naples, Paris, Frankfurt, and Vienna. Currently, the family wealth has been diversified into more economically productive ventures such as financial services, production of wines and soft drinks, energy generation, real estate investments and even mining of minerals (Byford 78). The massive wealth as possessed by the Rothschild family has been a subject of suspicions, speculation and unending doubts about the exact identity of the Rothschild.

The crime of criminal conspiracy is known in criminal law as an inchoate offence. An inchoate offense refers to one of three criminal acts in which the transgression is committed or takes place prior to or in preparation of another criminal act. In addition to criminal conspiracy, the other two common inchoate offences are solicitation and attempt. Regardless of the inchoate offense, it is important to note that each of the three offenses are complete crimes in and of themselves. In other words, a person accused of an inchoate offense can be found guilty of that crime even though ...

Background

There have been numerous conspiracy theories offered in lieu of explanations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963(“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, details about the assassination have been uncertain for the last 40 plus years due to the fact that many of the tapes with information and evidence have been tampered with, and so many legal experts and scholars, and historians have refuted a lot of the information published on the case and deem them unreliable (“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, due to the irregularities and ...

“Et tu, Brute?” Many people recognize this pithy question as Julius Caesar’s last words upon seeing Roman senator Marcus Julius Brutus, with whom he had a relationship akin to that of a father and son, among his murderers on March 15, 44 BC. The phrase roughly translates to, “You too, Brutus?”. However, there is no historical evidence these were Caesar’s last words; more likely; they were popularized by William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in the sixteenth century. Known as the Ides of March, Caesar’s death is one of the most famous political overthrows in all of ...

Gun control in America is one of the most controversial issues and subjects in the current United States. This topic of gun regulation and oversight seems to have been further exacerbated by the fact that the issue has been politicized beyond reasonable proportions. The politicization has led to people digging in on this matter and adopting radical positions as opposed to working together for a rational approach to gun ownership. Nonetheless, a causal glance at the present gun ownerships makes it glaringly evident that the United States need a more gun control laws. This is even more important when ...

Abstract

Shortly after WW2, Japan became a place where the Allies put on trial Japanese military criminals of different standing. Overall, the process looked methodical and well-though-out, with an ad hoc classification developed for determining the guilt of offenders. The post-war years witnessed the execution of generals and the punishment of soldiers following their brutal orders. However, several years later, a complex of factors like the deliberate destruction of evidence or the enormous number of cases halted the prosecution process expediting its termination. As unethical and immoral as it was, the USA had its reasons not to prosecute some of ...

Prager, in his article, delves into the ideas of poverty and how it relates to crime in the economy. He starts off by describing several scenarios of his ideas of what poverty entails by describing his paternal grandparents who were immigrants living in such a small apartment such that none of the children ever had their own rooms. He further explains that most of the American population that are considered poor by societal standards own essential items such as a refrigerator, a stove, a television, and even a fridge. They are, therefore, able to provide for their material things ...

Different Perceptions of the Escape TV Show

“Prison Break,” a TV show that aired on the Fox from 2005-2009, seems to be promoting a message of unyielding love between different types of relationships a person has throughout their lives. There are many shows that carry this theme though, so the TV show must be about something else as well. The show is really promoting the escape of realities such as jail, corrupt laws, governments, and companies that, on their face, seem to have twisted ideologies. The show was so successful at promoting this idea to wide audiences, that it went past the two seasons it was ...

The McCarthy Era was one that was fraught with conflict. The world had changed in the years after the Second World War, and those changes led to one of the most divisive geopolitical paradigms in modern history. In this time period, the world seemed divided into two groups: those who opposed communism, and those who supported it as an idea. In the United States, the debate raged on, fueled by men like J. Edgar Hoover and Sidney Hook. Documents from both these individuals will be discussed and analyzed in this text, focusing on the different ideological stances held by ...

The Ideological Origin of the American Revolution, published originally in 1967 by Harvard Professor of History Bernard Bailyn, is one of the most respected studies of the ideology and world view of the American Revolutionary period.

Introduction

Since the mid XX century, the oil industry occupies a leading position in the global energy sector. A prerequisite for the implementation of large-scale long-term investments in the oil industry under the condition of a favorable outlook for oil demand in the world market is the availability of relevant geological reserves of oil in a particular region and the world at large. OPEC-countries account for over 40% of world oil production. Especially, the Middle East, particularly the Gulf basin, where there are the largest oil fields in the world, is rich for oil reserves (OPEC, 2015). Oil is extracted ...

Whether by force of stereotypical perception or the prevalence of such interpretation I the political discourse, people have always perceived racism through the prism of economic and legal mistreatment of black people. However, people can maltreat their own fellow countrymen with skin color other than white by disposing of hazardous toxic waste in immediate proximity to their area of residence. It is disturbing how Americans exploit their own endangering their physical wellbeing. Since coming to surface in the 1980s, the notion of environmental racism has not lost its relevance for what is now 3.5 decades. While some US locations ...

Pseudo-History

Pseudo-history can be defined as an alternative take on historical facts and accounts based on speculation, and not on primary sources. Pseudo-history relies on facts that cannot be adequately explained by neither historians nor scientists. Pseudo-science is usually used to bolster pseudo-history. Pseudo-history makes sensationalist claims that cannot be backed by conclusive evidence (“How Thinking Goes Wrong: Common Fallacies in Pseudo-Science and conspiracy thinking,” n.d). There is usually a lot of distaste in accepting logical explanations. Unlike history, pseudo-history seeks to explain everything for how it is today. Pseudo-historians pride themselves in being revolutionary thinkers who see the world ...

Several locals claimed that there were horrific thunderstorms that summer, and when they were out in the location of the crash, they found metal debris strewn across a wide area approximately three-quarters of a mile long. One of the men, Mack Brazel, took some of metal pieces back to his house and he and the neighbors examined the material. Brazel and his neighbors, the Proctors speculated that the metal could be from a crashed spacecraft. That summer over New Mexico there had been quite a ...

[Economics] As everyone knows, oil is considered to be a raw material. Though there are some unknown oil stocks, oil as well as other minerals is an exhaustive type of resource. Moreover, no matter what scientists say, or give any predictions, in the nearest future we will run out of this mineral. That is one of the reasons why we can observe the price gradually raising now. But to be honest, by 2020 this factor will not influence significantly the price of oil. The explanation to this is because the vast majority of world’s oil stocks have already ...

Corporate Social Responsibilities and Ethics

The concept of (CSRs) means that companies, organizations and/or societies have both societal and ethical responsibilities stretching beyond their existing economic responsibilities (Tuan, 2012). It requires these organizations to elaborate how they understand their responsibilities in efforts to including other stakeholders like customers, employees, local communities, customers, state governments, suppliers, international organizations among others. CSR stresses the need for organizations to behave like good corporate members of the society or citizens, by not only complying with laws and policies but also conducting their activities in ways protect the environment and other resources.

Organized crime has often been branded as one of the most difficult types of crimes to deal with, and rightly so, given its nature. The extreme preparedness and structuring that goes into executing each criminal activity, as well as the number of people involved in an organized crime makes it difficult for the investigating authorities to apprehend the criminals involved therein. According to Blacks Law dictionary, the most distinct feature of organized crime is the fact that it is extremely planned and systematic. It is never sudden as it involves many people acting in concert with the common intention ...

I am a 9/11 truther. I believe that the so-called terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon on September 11th, 2001 were secretly ordered and carried out by the United States government as part of a false flag operation to stir up popular outrage against their enemies abroad so that the evil George W Bush could work his will upon the world. Recently, I took an introductory Political Science class. The swarmy professor who teaches the course mocked me in the middle of class for mentioning my truther beliefs and I have resolved to get back ...

Abstract

The instances of organized crime are constantly on the rise. While various theories exist to explain the incidence of organized crime the rational choice theory and the conflict theory best explain the occurrence of organized criminal behavior. It must also be noted that the quality of a social institution defined its ability and adeptness at dealing with instances of organized crime. In some societies, the social institution further propagates inequalities that lay the foundation for the growth of organized crime. This is best explained by the conflict theory that states that the nature of a social institution is such ...

Introduction

While this crime has happened decades ago, it still haunts the minds of investigators, experts, and historians. The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the mysteries that has remained unraveled until these days. Myriads of conspiracy theories linking together the CIA, FBI, KGB, Cuba, and Lyndon B. Johnson, were the result of, as experts admitted, an ambiguous and negligent official report. The assassination of JFK was particularly sudden and shocking for the American people, which required a close and meticulous examination. On November, 1963 President of the U.S. Lyndon B. Johnson has created a special commission for ...

The Sandy Hooks debacle sent shock waves throughout the American education system and by extension, compelled other forward thinking nations to review their respective educational systems. In unison, the community around the Sandy Hooks Elementary School, the nation and the international community at large rallied behind the victims of the tragic events. However, one academician in particular shocked the world, the nation and more so, the victims of the fatal shootings (Jaschik, 2015).

In terrorism cases, it appears that complicity and vicarious liability are in fact less difficult for prosecutors to establish in terrorism cases. In the case of federal law, there is a certain procedure by which prosecutors determine both complicity and vicarious liability with respect to terrorism cases. There is a certain ease with the charge of complicity given the nature of the law. In the context of conspiracy, each person involved in the crime – no matter how big or small his or her attachment, may be associated and thereby deemed complicit and subject to federal indictment (Dempsi 2006). There ...

Price fixing is one of the main issues that the US anti-trust law has historically frowned upon as being anticompetitive and against the interest of consumers hence illegal. The US v Apple (2015) is a case in point in which the US Circuit Court of Appeal seemed to have extended this longstanding prohibition against the practice. Price fixing generally refers to an antitrade practice in which to or more undertakings conspire to raise or lower prices of products with the intention of driving out competitors who cannot operate under the set prices and later review the prices after other ...

Ancient Egyptian legal system is considered one of the oldest known in the human civilization. Although were few Ancient Egyptian sources of law remained preserved until this day, we can still recreate a general picture of legal norms and traditions that governed the society of Ancient Egypt based on historical records. The view that Ancient Egypt`s law served the despotic state regime of pharaohs who were the sole legislators with the power to create oppressive and unfair legal norms for its subjects is largely erroneous. The laws and legal customs of Ancient Egypt were based on the notions of ...

Every year in the late November, the American press remembers the murder of John F. Kennedy, mentioning thus about Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, the Mafia, Castro, the Warren Commission.

QUESTION ONE:

Domestic terrorism includes individuals or groups who are based and run wholly within the US or its dominion states without foreign administration, and whose acts are directed only at the people or government of United States. US public will never support domestic terrorism because no one can allow any group to ruin their lives. However, as far as to alienate them is concerned then it is not under the control of the individuals to seek the terrorists and hunt them. Not all anti-government groups are necessarily racist: for example, some members of the militia movement in the 1990s attempted ...

Planned obsolescence, a manufacturing technique used in a large number of fields and industries, is the creation of devices and other goods with the intent that they will stop being usable after a given period of time. While planned obsolescence can be beneficial to a company by increasing profitability and sales, the practice has obvious detrimental effects to consumers and to the environment, raising the question of its ethical merit. Though planned obsolescence is not illegal, many people debate whether it is moral. In light of the social and environmental costs of planned obsolescence, it should be found that it is neither an ...

The assassination of Luther King is one of the conspiracy theories that has sparked a lot of controversy. Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights leader was killed on April 1968 using a sniper bullet. King was killed while on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel located in Memphis. The conspiracy theory regarding the death of Martin Luther King Jr. does not have sufficient evidence that would make it possible to peg the death of King on particular individuals. This is because some of the evidence to assert the claims do not have sufficient backing as they are different from the actual ...

The United States government has been faced with undeniable allegations of spying on its citizens in the recent past. The fear of terrorism has prompted our overenthusiastic government to employ tactics that continue to contradict with human rights globally, as well as the fourth amendment. However, the most alarming fact of this surveillance activity is that the spying efforts are not only directed towards suspected criminals and terrorists, but also everyone else. With every step that the government takes to generate more information regarding innocent citizens, so does our faith in it continue to diminish. This paper will examine ...

The concept of critical thinking entails a way of finding out whether the information received is true or false. There are six principles that govern the process of critical thinking. The first principle dictates that for an extraordinary claim to be made it must be supported by extraordinary evidence. The level of extraordinariness of a claim is determined by how much a claim goes against what we already believe. The more a claim is unexpected, the more one needs in terms of supporting evidence so that a claim can be believed. This theory is important in critical thinking because it pushes one beyond ...

Conspiracy theories and rumors are the creation of people who have extraordinary minds to exaggerate ideas and event happenings in a non-desirable or negative way.

Why was there an absence of major slave rebellion in America?

Slavery in America was a legal institution that existed in the 18th and 19th century. It is great that in the 21st century, humanity can squarely face 19th century slavery. Nonetheless, it is also upon everybody to acknowledge the contemporary versions of slavery in the world beginning from our homestead. The current form of slavery is not as defined as it was in the olden days. During those days slaves were characterized by a number of cultures. The slave culture embodied elements of African and Christian cultures or values. Slavery also largely dependent on the systematic dehumanization and the dehumanization process ...
