Look back into the history and you will find that any idea or growing trend has been always protested. The act of assassination was always preferred by those who were against to such changes and used it as a tool to change the face of history. However, there are some unsuccessful assassinations but they were sufficient to shook the world. Have a look on this article of Topyaps to find out ten unsuccessful assassination plots throughout the history.
10. Michael Abram (George Harrison):
George Harrison, lead guitarist of The Beatles survived a knife attack on December 30, 1999, when Michael Abram attacked him with a seven-inch kitchen knife. Abram was suffering from mental illness when he plotted to stab Harrison in his home. After infiltrating in Harrison’s home, Michael called him to come downstairs and attacked him for approximately 15 minutes, causing head injuries and puncturing a lung. Meanwhile, Harrison’s wife, Olivia attacked Michael with a Tiffany lamp and phoned police after disabling him.
9. Ramzi Yousef (Benazir Bhutto):
An Electrical Engineer by profession, Ramzi belongs to Al-Qaeda camp with a god gifted skill in bomb making. In 1993, he allegedly took up a contract from “Sipah-e-Sahaba” to assassinate Benazir Bhutto, contemporary Prime Minister of Pakistan. Yousef, along with his companion planted a bomb outside Bhutto’s residence. However, this plot was failed when Pakistani Intelligence nabbed them just before exploding the bomb.
8. Vladimir Arutyunian (George W. Bush):
“I don’t consider myself a terrorist, I’m just a human being.” Arutyunian uttered these words when he was sentenced to life imprisonment, after his unsuccessful attempt to assassinate George W. Bush. President Bush was attacked by a Soviet-made RGD-5 hand grenade when he was attending a rally in Georgia. However, the grenade failed to detonate and landed 61 ft away from the podium. Somehow, Arutyunian manged to escape but later he was captured by Georgian Special Forces.
7. Maxime Brunerie (Jacques Chirac):
Brunerie, a 25 year old crazy Nazi was arrested by cops in Paris on July 14, 2002, when he fired two shots from his .22 caliber rifle on the open military jeep of French President, Jacques Chirac. It was very easy job to gun down the President as he was within range of shooter but due to the lack of experience, Brunerie missed his target and was overpowered by bystanders. Judging his mental condition, he was sentenced to ten years of prison but later he was freed after 7 years in 2009.
6. Fanny Kaplan (Vladimir Lenin):
Born into a Jewish family, Kaplan was a Russian Political Revolutionary and better known for attempting to assassinate Vladimir Lenin. On August 30, 1918, she fired three shots on Lenin, when he was approaching his car after debating in a rally. Despite the severe injuries in shoulder and jaw, Lenin survived. Later, she was nabbed by security personnel and on September 3, 1918, she was shot dead.
5. John Hinckley Jr. (Ronald Reagan):
He watched the movie “Taxi Driver” for at least 15 times, he was apparently motivated from Travis Bickle and finally, he fired six shots on Ronald Reagan with his .22 caliber Rohm RG-14 revolver. Yup, we are talking about John Hinckley Jr, a crazy buff of Jodie Foster who failed to develop any meaningful contact with this pretty actress. After firing on the presidential limousine on March 30, 1981, he was nabbed by the security squad and ironically was found “not guilty by reason of insanity.”
4. Richard Paul Pavlick (JFK):
A retired postal worker from New Hampshire, Pavlick’s ill-will against JFK emerged after the U.S. presidential election of 1960. He conspired to assassinate Kennedy on December 11, 1960, in Florida by blowing up him with dynamite but detained his plot as JFK was accompanied by his wife and children. After four days, he again attempted to kill the president but his dynamite-laden car was captured by the local cops.
3. Mehmet Ali Agca (Pope John Paul II):
Mehmet was a petty criminal with no political preference but sometimes he was accounted as an active member of “Grey Wolves Organization”, an ultra-nationalist party of Turkey. On May 13, 1981, he fired four bullets on Pope John Paul II, critically damaging his intestine and both arms. Later, he was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in Italy. Contrary to the expectation, Pope visited him in the prison and forgave him for this act.
2. Georg Elser (Adolf Hitler):
A carpenter by profession, Elser was a strong opponent of Nazi’s propaganda. He traveled to Munich, constructed the bomb and placed it in a pillar behind the speaker’s podium. According to his expectation, Hitler arrived on the scheduled time but due to the dense circumstances of World War II, he left the room thirteen minutes earlier. The bomb exploded just after the departure of Hitler, killing eight people and injuring sixty three.
1. The Gunpowder Plot (King James I of England):
In 1605, a group of English Catholics protested to make Princess Elizabeth as the Catholic head of state and attempted to blow up the House of Lords. But, during a search operation this plot was revealed and 36 barrels of gunpowder was discovered by authorities. Conspirators team was headed by Robert Catesby who was later shot dead and other members were hanged.

As a American, We would ask ourself, why do people around the world don’t like our attitude and behavior and what can we do to change it. After all that is the image of a American…
The most america haters are ungrateful, Look like American Jewish hypocrytical idiots, esspecially france, england, german and canada. The rest of them have a right to hate america, but yeah, rant. The American Foreign Ministry, a conference was held. Two dozen or so American and non-
American experts tried to find out the answer to the question: Why does the world hate America? The experts were worried as to why hatred for America was increasing throughout the world day by day and conditions had deteriorated to such an extent that even America’s own allies had started to censure and criticize it.
In their opinion America was the world’s benefactor and has saved it from a frightening destruction many a times. For example.
* During the Second World War, America had delivered the world from a tyrant like Hitler.
* effectively put a stop to Japan’s war madness.
* stood like a wall against the storm of Communism for forty years.
* sanctioned loans and gave aid worth tens of billions of dollars to poor countries.
* in order to bring the nations of the world closer together, pays
one-fourth of the UN’s yearly budget out of its own pocket. Not only that but has provided permanent headquarters to the UN on its own land, which can be visited any time by America’s friends and enemies alike
* made the eternal foes in the Middle East sit on a table across each other.
* saved a weak country like Kuwait from its powerful enemy, Iraq.
* and now it is leading the war in its fight against terrorism.
Inspite of all these attributes it is the target of world hatred and
criticism. Not a single meeting, gathering, shanty hotel, way side restaurant, five-star hotel, home or office, conference or seminar is empty of American criticism and condemnation.
If a leaf moves even in the farthest corner of the world, people
start chanting slogans of ” Death to America “; ” Death to U.K ” ” Death to NATO ” ” Death to Saudi Arab” & ” Death to Israel “.satisfy their lust for revenge by burning its flat. Why is it so after all? These were the questions bedevilling the experts of the conference held behind closed doors. It is clear that the masterminds must have come up with some solutions, some suggestions and proposals which cannot be made public at present. It is possible that they might have an impact upon the future American foreign policy. But it is not the right of the American people only to find out why American people only to find out why America is hated by the world, we have a right too to find out the causes of this increasing hatred and try to tell
the American is reason for the world’s animosity against them.
There may or may not be any other cause for the world’s hatred but it is certain that one major reason was America’s use of the atom bomb on the innocent civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—a crime of horrifying magnitude against humanity itself. America dropped the atom bomb in order to, it said, rid the world of Japan’s “war madness”. So numerous are the crimes America has committed that any same person would find it hard not to hate, (though hate is a mild world here America.
America is proud that it saved the world form as cruel a dictator as Hitler. But what about the millions of civilians who died from
hunger and disease as a result of US-instigated mass starvation of Germans during 1945-1950, under the Morgenthan Plan? America is proud to have formed the UNO for the benefit of world nations. But even a cursory glance at the UN’s history is enough to reveal that it has always given preference and priority to America interests only. The UN is the major cause and means of America’s supremacy over the world.
America boasts that it made the sworn enemies in the Middle East sit across each other at a negotiating table. But the fact is that it enacted the farce of the Israel-Palestinian negotiations just in order to put the brakes on the increasing opposition and hatred for the Jews to be found in the Middle East, specially in Palestine.
Otherwise it has always, overtly and covertly, supported its pet,
Israel. The US (at the urging of American Jews and actin through the United Nations at a time when most Arab states were not het members)
created Israel in 1947 against the wishes of the people of the
Middle East. America basically stole the land from the Palestinian and gave it to the Jews. Currently it give the Jews three billion dollars per year—for all the police and military hardware—the tanks, the attack helicopters, the missiles, the grenades they need to hold out that stolen territory and to steal, or “annex” even more. It considers the usurpers, the Jews innocent and harmless, whereas the Mujahideen fighting for the freedom of Palestine are “terrorists” The Terrorists Idea is a Big LIE’S. ( There are 500 Terrorists Org in The World ).
What America has done and is going to do in Iraq is hidden from no ( 20 Trillion dallor’s STOLE by U.S.A. & ISRAEL )
one. During day and night bombing in 1991,& after, it killed more than 20,000,000, Two million civilians. of Iraqi conscripts were slaughtered on the “Highway of Death” during their attempted retreat form Kuwait in the same year. The two million Iraqi civilians, two-thirds of them children, have died in the last ten years as a result of the effects of the hundreds of tons of cancer-causing depleted uranium left_inner over from the million or so exploded rounds of DU ammunition used in attacks by America warplanes in the 1991.
American/British 6-week terrorist campaign against Iraq and from the subsequent US/British-imposed economic blockade (not to mention those killed by the bombing raids which occur every week). In spite of the strong opposition in the UN’s General Assembly, America insists on going ahead with its plans to attack Iraq.
Who can forget the recent American naked terrorism carried out in Afghanistan? In the presence of the America commandoes, thousands of Taliban, herded into containers died of asphyxiation. Carpet-bombing
was carried out in Qila Jangi, mercilessly killing thousands of
innocent civilians. The AC-130 gunship, one of the most lethal
America warplanes was deployed in Afghanistan warplanes was deployed
in Afghanistan in mid-October. The AC-130 circles a target and
saturates it with automatic fire from three computer-controlled
guns, including cannon and heavy machine guns capable of firing 1,800 rounds a minute. The plane’s guns can cover an area the size of eight football fields with a round in each square yard….and has banks of electronic sensors on board capable of detecting ground targets normally elusive from the air.
Daisy cutter bombs were dropped on the Taliban frontlines. The daisy cutter is a fuel-air bomb which works thus: there are two
detonations; the first spreads a fine mist of fuel into the air,
turning the area (about the size of a football field) into an
explosive mix of vast proportion; then a second detonation ignites the mixture, causing an awesome explosion. The explosion is about the most powerful “conventional” explosion the world knows to-day.
Such diabolic devices were used against human beings—innocent women, children and the aged, and the Taliban. The bombing in Tora Bora left_inner nothing, no living creatures alive.
In human, barbaric treatment was and is being meted out to prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. No case has been registered against them; legal access is denied to them and they are being treated worses than caged animals.
What conclusions can be drawn from all this? By calling Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Eriteria and North Korea the “axis of evil” can America hope to receive the sympathies of the people?
America give loans to poor nations and locks their freedom as
collateral in iron safety boxes of the Pentagon. The IMF and World Bank are but American instruments who give alms to poor countries in the name of interest—based loans and in return extract the very souls of the people from their near-dead bodies. They can neither be considered alive or dead by the time these two organizations are done with them. The IMF, World Bank and multi-national American companies are blood-sucking leeches who suck the economy of the third-world countries and do not let them go until they have drained every single drop of blood out of them. The TWO looks after the
American interests and its job is to make laws which can destroy the industries of third world countries and turn them into markets for US goods.
For those seeking the answer to the question why are the American hated by the world so much, the word of the recently-turned Muslim, Yvonne Ridley can be an eye-opener. She says: People like Bush and Tony Blair are just so-called Christians. They have no respect for Christianity in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn’t have made this world such a target of barbaric tyranny. Ariel Sharon’s army was shelling the Church of Nativity, the holiest shrive in Christendom, and the Christian world kept quiet. Not one lousy bishop or
archbishop-not one of them—stood up. Now George Bush is facing internal problems. His economy is under great stress. In order to distract the people’s attention form internal crisis, he now attacks Afghanistan, now Iraq.”
The United States thus shows itself to be depraved and barbaric. Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler the German nation rank also in toe barbarity (from which it emerged after 1945). One of the defining characteristics of the German Nazis was their willingness to use violence to achieve their ends—–not just their willingness to use violence but their willingness to use unlimited violence. As for them, for those who now control the American military juggernaut, there is no limit to the degree of death and destruction they are willing to use to achieve their ends. Are these the sort of “leaders” that the American people really want? Don’t they
realize that they can only reap a harvest of hatred by using atom bombs, cruise missiles, daisy cutter bombs, B-52s, AC 130s, chemical weapons and economic sanctions against poor countries?
With the American policies what they are there can be no stopping the lava boiling under the surface from erupting. Contempt and
hatred shall go on increasing, hearts burn with revenge. Uneasiness, restlessness and mutiny shall raise their heads and the waves of a evolution will become higher and higher. The American leadership should fear the day when the United States will become a thing of the past and American disdain, pride and arrogance a long-forgotten story.
Why the world still hates America and why American’s hate Lawyers ,” IF YOU WANT PEACE KILL ALL THE LAWYERS. ” Plus and ” KILL ALL JEWISH LOBBY OF THE WORLD. ” Plus also ” KILL ALL AMERICAN FOOLISH POLITICTION ” Thanks.
