Watergate Scandal: Downfall of Richard Nixon

Image
Hello folks, in today's episode of "How greed makes a man blind", which is also based on a President's desperate attempts of winning an election. Hereby I present to you,  The Watergate Scandal . What is Watergate Scandal? Watergate scandal is a series of interconnected scandals, mainly carried out to lower the chances of the Democratic Party in the upcoming elections of  1972  by the ruling  President Richard Nixon . Well, of course, the democrats were the targets in these scandals, because President Nixon, who was a Republican party member, wanted to secure the Presidency for the second time as well. When it started? It is hard to say since when this dirty work had been going on by Nixon's administration. Richard Nixon won the Presidential election in  1968  & became the  37th  president of the USA. Theories started emerging when on  17th June 1972 , five burglars broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate complex in D.C. At

Hello folks, I am back with another unsolved crime mystery. Today's topic is a bit dark as it involves the mixture of family drama and a cold-blooded murder mystery. Just to be clear, this is not something about a serial killer. However, if you like to read stuff about serial killer then you can visit my piece of work on Jack The Ripper here , which is the most notorious killer of all time. Today's topic is something we call " Rage Killings ". So I would suggest to people who don't like this kind of stuff, should stop reading right away because this topic involves brutality. Family Background Andrew Borden was a wealthy and influential property developer from Fall's River , Massachusetts born in 1822. Andrew was married to Sarah Morse , born in 1823, and had two children, Emma Borden , and Lizzie Borden . Emma was born in 1851 and Lizzie was born in 1860. Both of the sisters had religious fostering as children. Both were deeply involved in churc

Hello folks, you might have heard of some weird, scary and mysterious places. Today's blog is dedicated to one such place. So let's get started. Remember in my last blog what I said about the mountains? That every mountain has its own story of existence. Mountains carry creepy and scary stories along with their existence. Mountain ranges, remote location and one hell of a creepy history, what more a mystery-seeker would want? City of Dead Dargavs , a village in Russia , is one of the creepiest and mysterious places in Russia. The village is also known as the City of Dead . There is a necropolis that dates back to the medieval ages, just outside the village of Dargavs in Prigordony District. Dargavs is surrounded by five mountain ridges of the Caucasus mountains. Such geography makes it a remote and hard-to-explore destination. The valley, where Dargavs is located, is 17 km long. © Image Courtesy A necropolis is a huge burial place or cemetery. The wo

Hello folks, once again I am here with an interesting topic. However, today's topic is a bit different from my previous ones. Today I am going to talk about spiritual and religious stuff which is totally different from the other ones. As we all know, India has various and distinct cultures that differ from place to place. Indian religions, music, rituals, food, and languages differ from region to region. Above that, India has diversity in landforms too. We have peaceful and beautiful valleys, lush and green forests, spectacular and sacred mountains, fertile lands and a lot more.  A special thing about the mountains is that every mountain has a story related to it, which describes its existence and controls the vibe around it. Being around the mountains is a humbling experience that embraces our very own existence. The high peaks of the mountains remind us of our tiny significance in the world. They urge us to respect the earth we stand and live on. Maybe that is w

Hello folks, you might be aware that modern terrorism is one of the biggest threats for humanity. There are lots of incidents in the history of mankind, that represent the cruelty, the dark, damaged mindsets and self-centered thinking behind the terrorism. Terrorism or what they call it as a "Jihad" is nothing but a selfish act of war which exists because there are some people out there who want to avenge something, to show their hatred towards the Governments, to fulfill their agenda in the name of religion. About 9/11 As you all know, the 9/11 attacks are one of the most breath-taking terrorist attacks in the history of mankind. People are very well aware of the attacks and their effects on the people of the United States of America and across the world. On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked by 19 militants who were associated with Al-Qaeda. Two planes were crashed into the twin towers. One plane hit the Pentagon and the last one got crashed in a fiel

Hello folks, as we all know, the 19th and 20th centuries were all about industrial and technological revolution. It was also an era of many mysteries that are still unsolved. Mysteries of spies, nations, politics, civil wars and crimes that were brutal and unable to solve due to lack of technological advancements. In the history of mankind, many serial killers almost shook the world. But no one could this beat one. The killer shook London in late 1888, killing five women. Before we discuss the killer, let's discuss London first in 1888. Situation in Whitechapel In the late 19th century, London experienced an inrush of Irish, Jewish and Russian refugees. These people chose to live in the East End of London. London was the richest city at that time. But the people of East London were not rich enough especially the Whitechapel district. In fact, the basic living standards worsened and an economically backward class developed as East London was being overcrowded by refu
