Personal Narrative: President Bill Clinton Scandal

I forsake you and your cruel intentions as a traitor to the crown. Your actions correlate with treason and must be held accountable in a court of law. Moreover, You must reveal your wrongdoing and take responsibility for your bloodthirsty ambition. As vile as your heart’s aspiration is, betraying your own people is an unacceptable method to achieve success. How could you slaughter the very man who dines in your castle and promotes you? Wisdom often tends to distinguish men with hopeful determination from fools with fallacious ambition. Shall I declare you a fool? Nevertheless, Macbeth, admit your exploits to the people and accept your punishment. Destiny is never guaranteed, and fate cannot justify senseless actions.

After Macbeth's death, I Malcolm was named King of Scotland. Macbeth left a huge hole and led a terrible reign. Now I as king, have a job to my people to restore Scotland and build it back up to how it was and erase Macbeth's mistakes. Macbeth was no King, he was so obsessed with power he became a Tyrant. In doing so he caused panic and horror to my people of . After Macbeth's death I now must restore what was once was my home and is my kingdom to rule. I know as king i have a lot of work to do to restore my home and regain my peoples trust but in deed Scotland will flourish once again.

I am Malcolm, the older son of King Duncan of Scotland. My father nominated me to be the next ruler of the kingdom which brought horrific jealousy and a desire to kill the King to Macbeth, the captain of Duncan's army.

Many people, myself included look up to individuals in an authoritative role such as; senators, governors, and presidents. We view them as being honest and sincere. They have to be right? They do want to run the country after all. Often our thoughts are “they would never lie to us or hide things from us”, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. One of the biggest political scandals to hit the United States of America was the Watergate scandal involving our very own President Richard Nixon. This scandal caused a lot of American’s to lose trust and hope in the presidency. The scandal received its name from the Watergate apartment and office complex that was located in Washington D.C., where a burglary took place on June 17, 1972 and five men were arrested. It then came to surface that the men’s intentions were to sabotage the opposite political party, when president Nixon was notified of this he order the Central Intelligence Agency to call the FBI to stop with any further investigation, that national security was at stake. President Nixon knew that it would come back to the White House and didn’t want to risk anything, even though he was never involved with the

Espionage, the use of spying to obtain secret information regarding the intentions and capabilities of other persons, groups, organizations, or states is largely seen as a modern twentieth-century phenomenon (Burds, 2012). In reality, it is one of the oldest political and military acts, appearing in historical and literary accounts since the beginning of recorded history. A vital tool of statecraft, espionage shapes foreign policy and changes how wars proceed. Unbeknownst to many Americans, subterfuge and secrecy would play an important role in the Revolutionary War. George Washington, commander of the Continental Army, was well aware that he needed reliable intelligence to triumph over British forces which outmatched and often outnumbered his own. To achieve this, Washington would establish numerous spy networks over the course of the war, the most successful being the Culper Spy Ring.

The ethical laws of Macbeth’s world are slim but present, loosely drawn by heritage and relations to past kings. This exclusionary policy ensures that the future leaders of Scotland are dependent on family ties or patronage brought forth from leaders past to propel

Legislative enactment of 1980, granted executive branch power to limit its notification channel to the minimum of eight members of congress—Gang of Eight. Erwin stated that limiting notification to the Gang of Eight should occur only in situations involving covert actions of such extraordinary sensitivity or risk to life that knowledge of such activity should be restricted to as few individuals as possible. The intention would ensure strong oversight while share President’s burden on difficult decision concerning significant activities. (Erwin 2013, 2).The issues I see in congressional oversight of the strategic covert action program is how and it what degree intelligence committee should know about covert actions. The congress’ concern is

Everyday citizens often live unaware of their government’s inner workings. The knowing of political espionage is often too heavy of a subject to be inducted in conversation. True, prima facie, modest twists and turns of information may not be considered substantial, but this inconsideration leaves much to be uncontrolled. It is easy for political leaders to become power crazed, to not realize the massive implications that come of their actions. Only after all is said and done do the people actually realize their government is an opaque mask of deception. The Watergate Scandal substantially impacted Americans’ trust in their government.

The various things the congress must insure are being handled properly are the quality of analysis, the legality of actions, operations and making sure the needs of policymakers are met. The first method is the use of the executive branch to monitor covert action and espionage. The head of the executive branch is The President himself. The President also has the power to appoint a commission to assess intelligence topics. One of the Presidents go to is the “Gang of Eight” (made up of the Senate and House Majority and Minority Leaders, and the Chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees). The use of the “Gang of Eight” allows the president to notify only them instead of the entire congressional committee. The President also has a committee known as the President’s Intelligence advisory Board. They are used to initiate analysis activities and investigations the President deems

The report additionally concludes that the “Minister,” or President in the United States’ case, should be, “legally responsible,” for security and intelligence policies in these cases (Born and Leigh 2005). The United States’ system represents this framework in today’s practice as the National Security Act of 1947 and its amendments legislate the authority of the President to approve covert action. Referring once again to the earlier consensus that covet actions belong to the President, the legal responsibility of the executive is

After Macbeth died, I, Malcom, became king and had to deal with the collateral damage that was caused by Macbeth's greed and want for power. The losses of Duncan and Banquo were devastating. We shall find these three witches and punish them for what they have caused to happen to all. I, Malcom, vow to be a trust worthy king and have no foul play towards my people and friends. I shall make an effort to comfort and console the families of the ones whose lives were stolen from the world. I also move to outlaw all witches that do ill fate and foul play towards people. These events will be strongly fought against in my rule.

From the beginning of my campaign, there have been many misconstructions about the way my platform is built. It’s hard to run a liberal campaign in a city where the word liberal is closely related to the idea of someone coming to take your guns away. However, my platform is not just progressive. It’s moderate. My plan is to work with my republican counterparts, how it should be, to achieve a future that’s agreeable with the average United States citizen. This campaign is about making the world a better place to live in for all of our people – not for just some of them.

The hierarchy in Scotland is falling apart due to divisions in loyalty. Macduff does not support Macbeth, as proven when he relinquishes his title in Scotland to join Malcolm and bring back an army to overthrow Macbeth. In Scene 1, Banquo vocalizes his fear that “[Macbeth] play’dst most foully” to acquire the title of King of Scotland (III, i, 3). The ties that once were strong between the noblemen have now been severed. Such dissension in the nobility of Scotland can only end with the country being disunited.

After arriving home from battle and being awarded new titles and praise, Macbeth is hesitant to break trust easily. As Lady Macbeth attempts to convince him to carry out the murder, Macbeth explains, “He hath honored me of late, and I have bought/Golden opinions from all sorts of people,/Which would be worn now in their newest gloss,/Not cast aside so soon”(I. vii. 35-38). Macbeth believes he should stay loyal to the king, King Duncan, since he has been recently given new titles and estates. However, Lady Macbeth’s coercion convinces him to disregard his loyalty, and leads to his eventual self destruction. Macduff, who is throughout the play intensely loyal to his country of Scotland, begs Malcolm to return and rule, rather than Macbeth. Hearing Malcolm’s injurious remarks about himself, Macduff despairs and cries, “Fare thee well. /These evils thou repeat’st upon thyself/Hath banished me from Scotland.‒O my breast, /Thy hope ends here!”(IV. iii. 129-132). Macduff is upset that Scotland will remain in the hold of the tyrant Macbeth, without a virtuous leader to save the situation. Macduff is clearly seeking his country’ salvation, without asking for anything for himself. After the battle at Dunsinane is fought and Macbeth is slain, Malcolm finally receives his honor as the rightful heir to the throne of Scotland. During the aftermath of the bloody and bitter battle, Malcolm proclaims, “We shall not spend a large expanse of time/Before we reckon with your several loves/And make us even with you. My thanes and/kinsmen, /Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland/In such an honor named” (V. viii. 72-76). Malcolm has finally returned and proved his loyalty to his country by leading the battle against Macbeth, and he is rewarding those who have also been consistently loyal. Their loyalty has a palpable reward that they may benefit from. Loyalty is a constant type of

Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff! Beware the Than of Fife!…Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Be bloody, bold and resolute. Laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth…Be lion-mettled, proud and take no care who chafes, who frets or where conspirers are. Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him.
