These occurrences destroyed his image in the political arena and he later abridged himself from the mainstream of politics.

This incident created an international fuss between the mainstream of media but Kennedy survived the scandal and received an insignificant suspended sentence for only two months.

3. The Iran-Contra Scandal:

Counted among one of the most shameful scandals throughout the political history, the Iran-Contra affair is enough to expose the villainous character of the Ronald Reagan‘s administration. After crushing the U.S. policies on arms embargo, President Reagan and other bigshots of U.S. administration secretly masterminded the sale of arms along with some sophisticated anti-tank missiles to Iran. The entire plan was exposed by a Lebanese newspaper which propelled a massive investigation on this issue. Multiple high profile officials of Reagan’s administration were sentenced to prison and also the popularity of President Reagan was slumped.

Burglars were connected to the 1972 Committee to Re-elect the president, which later revealed that the plan was orchestrated by the president’s staff. This scandal generated a massive distrust of Nixon and he became the first and only American president to resign the office.

1. Assassination of Julius Caesar:

Assassination of this Roman leader still resonates in big ways with the world’s political phenomenon. Caesar’s kingship was declared as dictator perpetuo (dictator in perpetuity) by his senators and finally on the Ides of March, 44 B.C., conspirators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, stabbed Caesar in the Theater of Pompey. Shocked by the murder of their champion, the middle and lower classes of Rome became ferocious which ultimately sparked the Liberator’s Civil War.

Top 10 leaks of WikiLeaks

Ever since the inception of Topyaps, this is the first time when we are skeptical about a list of ten significant points, extracted from 250,000 diplomatic cables. Go through this page to discover the flood of sensational aspects of United State Department cables, exclusively exposed by the radical website, WikiLeaks.

10. Rahul Gandhi’s Remark on Hindu Extremists:

In 2009, US ambassador, Timothy Roemer was introduced to the “Radicalized Hindu Group” by Rahul Gandhi, General Secretary of the Indian National Congress. According to Mr. Gandhi, Hindu extremists can create political encounters as well as religious tensions with the Islamic community in India. This secret discussion was held at the residence of Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, where Hillary Clinton was invited on a dinner. However, Indian National Congress tried its best to make this issue a “closed chapter” but he was severely slammed by the opposition and was described as the supporting element of Pakistan.

9. U.S. Diplomats Making Mockery of World Leaders:

This whistle-blowing revelation of WikiLeaks was enough to disclose the obnoxious faces of American diplomats. Leak of this diplomatic cable, compelled U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton to express regret before international media. According to this leak, Nicolas Sarkozy is considered as “an emperor with no clothes”, Hamid Karzai as “easily swayed” and Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi as buff of late night parties with “hard means”. Diplomats have also made the mockery of the country heads of Iran, Germany, Afghanistan, Libya, Zimbabwe and several prominent political faces across the world.

8. Syria’s Supporting Hand To Hezbollah:

This leak reveals that Hezbollah is significantly supported by Syrian long-range rockets, guided missiles as well as with sophisticated weapons which can lead to a destructive war between Israel and Hezbollah. In May 2008, Lebanese minister of telecommunications, Marwan Hamadeh had informed the U.S. embassy about the communication network through fiber optic system between Hezbollah and Syria.

7. Apache Helicopter Shooting:

Ignored by the mainstream media, this video was released on April 5, 2010, which exhibited the slaying of over a dozen innocent civilians by U.S. Military in Baghdad. This video of U.S. mission in July 2007 was disclosed by an intelligence analyst of United States, Private Bradley Manning. Manning, a 22 year old “War Hero” is presently imprisoned in Kuwait for revealing the gun-sight of Apache Helicopter. He was charged with manhandling the confidential information of American Army. We ask, is it a crime to expose war crime?

6. U.S. Policy To Remove Highly Enriched Uranium from Pakistani Nuclear Reactor:

According to a major revelation of WikiLeaks, the United States was skeptical over the security of Pakistani nuclear material. The U.S. expressed concern that Islamist militants can occupy these materials to support Taliban, which in turn, can create a problematic situation for their operation in Afghanistan. This skepticism, dragged the American experts to remove highly enriched uranium from a Pakistani nuclear reactor but due to domestic opposition, it was never carried.

5. Apprehension Over Iran’s Nuclear Program:

One of the most juicy revelation of WikiLeaks, in which Arab nations have pleaded the United States to take aggressive steps against the nuclear program conducted by Iran. With a clear conception, King Hamad of Bahrain recommended a senior officer of U.S. Defense to barricade this ongoing program of Iran and stated that “the danger of letting it go on is greater than the danger of stopping it.” In an other revelation from the same cable, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia advocated the United States to “cut off the head of the snake [Iran].”

4. China’s Intrigue To Hack Google:

Eventually, it busted in the conventional media that the project to hack Google in 2009 was conceptualized by the Communist Party of China. The order to intrude this search giant was given by Li Changchun, a significant member of China’s Politburo, who was criticized on Google for genocide in Ireland. In 2006, google.cn entered in the Chinese market to compete Baidu, with its motto “Don’t Be Evil” but this filthy act compelled Google to close its internet services in China.

3.  Sarah Palin’s Yahoo Account Hacked:

So, this hot-shot American politician was using private e-mail accounts to carry government business far away from the public scrutiny. However, a group of sophisticated hackers, known as “Anonymous”, cleared their way and hacked her yahoo account gov.palin@yahoo.com. In zip format, WikiLeaks disclosed the screen shots of her inbox, some family photos, address book and two example emails.

2. Hilary Clinton’s order to spy U.N. Activities:

A confidential directive was passed by Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State, to gather the passwords and other authentication keys of leading officials of the United Nations. American diplomats along with FBI and CIA were instructed by Clinton to conduct an espionage mission on UN activities, that might have alleged relationships with the terrorist organizations of Middle East. Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban-Ki Moon was the peak target of this spy mission.

1. Iraq War Logs:

Disclosing an endless list of civilian killings and bloody encounters, this earthshaking revelation demonstrated the actual face of US mission in Iraq. According to Julian Assange, approximately 109,000 casualties were recorded during 2004 to 2009, in which 66,081 were innocent civilians. Prisoners were treated inhumanly by American and British soldiers. Ironically, these “intimate details” were manifestly ignored by the top officials of US and British defense services.

Born in Texas in 1890, this 34th President of United States was once the supreme commander of the allied forces in Europe during WW II.

9. James Madison (1751 – 1836):

A key figure in the formation of the Bill of Rights, Madison readily recognized that power lead to distrust, stating that “The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.” The main feature of Madison’s time in Congress was his work to restrain the power of the federal government.

8. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917 – 1963):

Popularity and performance are very different things, and most historians would argue that it is too soon to have a good historical perspective through which to analyze Kennedy’s performance as 35th President.  However, events during his administration such as the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the African American Civil Rights Movement and early stages of the Vietnam War are sufficient to justify his position in this list.

7. Woodrow Wilson (1856 – 1924):

Wilson was admired as a writer, a scholar, and an educator more than two decades before he became the 28th president of United States of America. He spent twenty-four years working in the academic world as a professor, then as a college president, before he was elected governor of New Jersey. Wilson’s idealistic internationalism, now referred to as “Wilsonianism”, which calls for the United States to enter the world arena to fight for democracy, has been a contentious position in American foreign policy.

6. Theodore Teddy Roosevelt (1858 – 1919):

Headed in the direction of genius at political leadership, he was the 26th president of America. He brought new excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. His conservationism and willingness to take on big business are examples of why he is considered to be one of the influential presidents in America’s history.

5. Andrew Jackson (1767 – 1845):

Surrounded by myth and image, this 7th president of America is a compact symbol representing the ideology of an entire generation. Jackson exemplified the common man, the farmer politician, military prowess and democracy for his time. Nicknamed as “Old Hickory”, Jackson was famous for winning the Battle of New Orleans against the British and pretty much ending any Indian threat in the South.

4. Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826):

A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit. Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States of America. As a political philosopher Jefferson is the only president to serve two full terms in office without vetoing a single bill of Congress. Jefferson has been consistently ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of U.S. presidents.

3. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882 – 1945):

Crippled by polio, FDR was the 32nd president of the United States of America. Roosevelt launched major legislation and a profusion of executive orders that gave form to the New Deal—a complex, interlocking set of programs designed to produce relief (especially government jobs for the unemployed), recovery (of the economy), and reform (through regulation of Wall Street, banks and transportation).


2. George Washington (1732 – 1799):

The legend in a classic sense, he was the first president of the United States and a major figure in the establishment of the US, during and following the Revolutionary War. He is known as one of the Founding Fathers of the country. As president, Washington established the framework of the national executive branch. He oversaw the work to build a new national capital, and it was named Washington D.C. in his honor.


1. Abraham Lincoln (1809 – 1865):

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. Serving as the 16th president of United States, Lincoln carried out many vital endeavors. His greatest accomplishment, without a doubt, was the initiation of ‘Emancipation Proclamation’. Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of all U.S. Presidents.

Top 10 Politicians in the world

Here is a list of ten famous politicians, who, by their braveness, determination and love for human race, changed the course of history. These steadfast politicians are best known for securing the world peace.

10. Margaret Thatcher (Former Prime Minister of U.K):

One of the things being in politics has taught me is that men are not a reasoned or reasonable sex. This firelady from United Kingdom has a clear conception for whatever she promulgates.  Famous for her stubborn and arrogant style, she is a symbol of a principled approach to personal freedom.

9. Thomas Jefferson (Third President of U.S.):

Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. A respected educator, a powerful politician and a nerd curious to explore his surroundings, Jefferson is the author of Declaration of American Independence. One of the greatest minds in World politics and the founding father of Democratic party, he always emphasized his followers to obtain great ideas.

8. Al Gore (Former Vice President of America):

A hunk with a geek reputation and addict of Information Technology, this distinguished gentleman of politics demonstrated great leadership by instituting a federal program to wire all schools and libraries to the Internet in America. No matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.


7. Martin Luther King Jr. (Civil Rights Activist of America):

Spokesperson of his mind, he is considered as GOD among black people. In his perspective life’s most urgent question is: what are you doing for others? A personality filled with bravery and determination, he was the icon for black people and was passionate to provide them an equivalent status as the white possesses in society. According to his point of view  blacks should not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of the character.



6. Adolf Hitler (Dictator of Germany):

Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle. If you do not fight, life will never be won…wow wow wow, bravo, superb. Despite some people see him as an evil and terrorizing element, he was a man with vision and mission. He was a genius in motivating Germans to achieve their goals, whether it requires devastation.

5. Vladimir Lenin (Russian Revolutionary):

Son of a Russian nobleman, this Russian think tank was inexorable symbol of passionate working. His concept of political correctness and ideological struggle was irresistible. Sometimes – history needs a push.



4. Abraham Lincoln (Former U.S President):

An unifying portrayal of political face, this great man is admired for his statesmanship. His ideas have not only benefited the forthcoming generations till today but would continue to bear an indelible mark on the upcoming generations as well. True believer of democracy, once he quoted – As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.


3. Mikhail Gorbachev (Former President of USSR):

This Nobel Peace Prize winner is a pariah of common people. He is an accumulate figure of change and hope for a stagnant system, motion, creativity and amazing equilibrium. His concept of playing by the rules and revolution of the mind regard him as a hero. His heroic journey of hardship and triumph is enough to define him as a political superstar.

2. George Washington (First President of America):

Well, character of this person could be described by using the traits of honesty, intelligence, perseverance, endurance and strength. Referred as Father of America, he will be always remembered for his salient contribution in fighting for, creating and leading the United States of America in its sputtering days.

1. Sir Winston Churchill (Former British Prime Minister):

What is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terrors, victory, however long and hard the road may be. For without victory, there is no survival. This legendary head of political ring was also a prolific journalist, writer as well as an adventurer.
