CEO Advisory

Biggest traitors in worlds history

Aldrich Hazen Ames

A former Central Intelligence Agency counter-intelligence officer and analyst, who, in 1994, was convicted of spying for the Soviet Union. The information Ames provided led to the compromise of at least 100 U.S. intelligence operations and to the execution of at least 10 U.S. sources. He ultimately gave the Soviet government the names of every American agent working in their country, the Soviets paid Ames approximately $4.6 million for his services.

Augusto Pinochet Ugarte

In 1970, a Socialist, Salvador Allende, was elected President of Chile. The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency secretly spent millions of dollars funding Chilean opposition groups, to “create pressures, exploit weaknesses” for Allende. CIA spent at least $11 million more to plan and fund a coup that would put Pinochet in power.

On 11 September 1973, the coup toppled Chile’s government, and Allende was either killed or committed suicide. Pinochet promptly appointed himself President, suspended the Constitution, closed Parliament, banned opposition political activists, illegalized trade unions, and initiated media censorship.

During this time, the head of Chile’s secret police was on the CIA payroll. The U.S. was one of the first nations to recognize Pinochet’s presidency as “legitimate”, and restored foreign aid that had been stopped while Allende was President. In short, Pinochet was America’s man in Chile.

Marcus Junius Brutus

Roman senator and praetor who helps plan and carry out Caesar’s assassination. First, Brutus sided with Pompey the Great against Caesar when the Roman Civil War started in 49 B.C. After Caesar defeated Pompey at Pharsalus, Greece, in 48 B.C., he pardoned Brutus and appointed him governor of Cisalpine Gaul in 46 B.C. and a praetor of Rome in 44 B.C. But Brutus turned against Caesar a second time, helping to lead the conspiracy that led to Caesar’s assassination in 44 B.C.

Guy Fawkes

After Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, English Catholics who had been persecuted under her rule had hoped that her successor, James I, would be more tolerant of their religion. Unfortunately, James did not turn out to be more tolerant than Elizabeth.

A small group took shape, under the leadership of Robert Catesby. Catesby felt that violent action was warranted. Indeed, the thing to do was to blow up the Houses of Parliament. In doing so, they would kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for the Catholics.

To carry out their plan, the conspirators got hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder – and stored them in a cellar, just under the House of Lords. But as the group worked on the plot, it became clear that innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack, One of the group members sent an anonymous letter warning his friend, Lord Monteagle, to stay away from the Parliament on November 5th.

The warning letter reached the King, and the King’s forces made plans to stop the conspirators.

Guy Fawkes, who was in the cellar of the parliament with the 36 barrels of gunpowder when the authorities stormed it in the early hours of November 5th, was caught, tortured and executed.
