Tom Grant And Conspiracy Theories
The first time Tom Grant had met with Courtney in person, the first words out of her mouth were “you leak this to the press, i’ll sue the f*** out of you.” Tom later mentioned in an interview that every time he was with her she was either on drugs or doing drugs. On-lookers started questioning his loyalty to Courtney and the fact that since he was working for her, why wasn’t he on her side? Was he creating a conspiracy theory to gain publicity, or maybe even fame? Tom Grant mentioned in another interview that “the word conspiracy is actually a legal term. It simply means two or more people plotting or planning to commit a crime… When somebody refers to me as a conspiracy theorist, I take it as an insult because I know what they mean by it.

    Do you remember the Berenstain Bears being the Berenstein Bears? Or think that the United States really wasn’t the first country to step on the moon? The previous questions connect to a few out of thousands of conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories are the belief that a person or organization secretly influenced or caused an event. For example, some people believe that 9/11 terrorist attacks were actually planned and carried out by the government, who would blame ISIS and give the government a reason to kill Osama Bin Laden.

    I. Introduction The events surrounding the “Burr Conspiracy” were among the first tests of the effectiveness of the United States democracy. II. Aaron Burr Aaron Burr was born in Newark New Jersey on February 6, 1756, and Burr was educated at what is now Princeton University. Burr joined the Continental Army in 1775, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Burr was appointed attorney general of New York in 1789 and served as a United States senator from 1791 to 1797 (Onager CD-ROM). In the Election of 1800, Aaron Burr was the running mate of Republican candidate Thomas Jefferson. Although Burr was running for vice-president, he received as many votes as Jefferson did, and the House of Representatives chose Jefferson as president. After Burr’s term as vice-president was over and he lost the race for the governorship of New York, Burr fought Alexander Hamilton in a duel in Weekawhen, New Jersey, on July 11,1804. Aaron Burr killed his political rival, Alexander Hamilton, and his credibility as a politician in that duel. Shortly after the duel, Aaron Burr became involved in a plot known as the Burr Conspiracy. After the scheme was discovered by Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr was arrested for treason. Burr was acquitted after a six-month trial on September 1, 1807. III. Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton was born as an illegitimate child on the Island of Nevis on January 11, 1757. Alexander Hamilton was educated at what is now Columbia University.

    September 11, 2001 holds a special place in almost every American’s heart, as well as those of families in other countries who lost a loved one that day. Not only is Sept. 11th the bloodiest terrorist attack in the history of the nation, several groups of people within our own country and abroad believe that knowledge of this attack was held prior to the actual event. What has been reported and believed was that two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, and one airplane into the Pentagon. Different conspiracy theories have developed on the internet, and several websites claim to have legitimate cases regarding the validity of the “true” story. These claims are nothing less than a slap in the face of some thousands of Americans who risked their lives to remove others from harms way.
