[PF:172505] Top Die-Hards In History


1. Adolf Hitler: suffered over 50 murder conspiracies including a porn-mad plan
 
 
 
Leader of the NazisHitler was responsible for the killing of approximately six million Jews (overwhelmingly Ashkenazim)as well as two million ethnic Poles and four million others who were deemed "unworthy of life" (including the disabled and mentally illSoviet POWshomosexualsFreemasonsJehovah's Witnessesamong others) as part of a program of deliberate extermination. It's no surprise then that he appears as number one in our listhaving suffered over fifty intents of murder. The first of them was in 1921 when shots got fired at him after a speech. In Warsaw 1939October 5the Polish army wanted to blow up Hitler's carwhen it crossed the (now called) Square Charles de Gaulle. A human error prevented the bomb from exploding. There was another crazy plan of some American soldiers to throw down a lot of pornographic material on Hitler's mountain to make the puritan Hitler go mad. The colonel the soldiers discussed the plan withsaid that they were maniacs with an insane plan.
 
None of the plans succeeded and it's believed that Hitler finally died after committing suicide along with his wifeEva Braunby gunshot and cyanide poisoning.
 
2. Grigory Rasputin: was poisonedshot four timesand beaten until he finally died from drowning
 
 
Rasputin has been tied in the immortality of history to the ill-fated Romanov family. Some may even say that he was the cause of their destruction. Whatever you may think about him: powerful mystic or drunken fruitcakehe wormed his way into the heart of the imperial family and he just didn't want to go. The legends surrounding the death of Rasputin are perhaps even more mysterious and bizarre than his life. The first attempt on Rasputin's life failedon June 291914after either just receiving a telegram or exiting churchhe was attacked suddenly by Khionia Gusevaa former prostitute. The woman thrust a knife into Rasputin's abdomenand his entrails hung out of what seemed like a mortal wound. Convinced of her successGuseva supposedly screamed"I have killed the antichrist!". After intensive surgeryhoweverRasputin recovered. It was said of his survival that "the soul of this cursed muzhik was sewn on his body".

On December 161916having decided that Rasputin's influence over the Tsaritsa had made him a far-too-dangerous threat to the empirea group of noblesled by Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich and politician Vladimir Purishkevichapparently lured Rasputin to the Yusupovs' Moika Palace basementwhere they served him cakes and red wine laced with a massive amount of cyanide. According to legendRasputin was unaffectedalthough Maklakov had supplied enough poison to kill five men. Determined to finish the jobYusupov became anxious about the possibility that Rasputin might live until the morningleaving the conspirators no time to conceal his body. Yusupov ran upstairs to consult the others and then came back down to shoot Rasputin through the back with a revolver. Rasputin felland the company left the palace for a while. Yusupov went to check up on the body. SuddenlyRasputin opened his eyes and lunged at him. When he grabbed Prince Yusupov he ominously whispered in Yusupov's ear "you bad boy" and attempted to escape. Yusopov and his co-conspirators chased Rasputin out into the yardshooting him two more times and beating him with a rubber club. To ensure he didn't rouse againthe men tied Rasputin in a blanket and dumped his body into the Neva River. His body was found with his right arm outstretchedpresumably to make the sign of the crossindicating that he was still alive when he hit the water and managed to partially free himself. An autopsy established that the cause of death was drowning. His arms were found in an upright positionas if he had tried to claw his way out from under the ice (the Neva Riva freezes between November 25 and December 5and the ice is gone only by mid-April). It was found that he had indeed been poisonedand that the poison alone should have been enough to kill him.
 
3. Fidel Castro: survived 638 assassination attempts and counting
 
 
 
The infamous Cuba's Dictator is probably the hardest man to kill on planetor at least the one of the most number of attempts. Fabian Escalantewho was long tasked with protecting the life of Castroestimated the number of assassination schemes or attempts by the CIA to be 638. Some such attempts allegedly included an exploding cigara fungal-infected scuba-diving suitand a Mafia-style shooting. Some of these plots are depicted in a documentary entitled 638 Ways to Kill Castro. One of these attempts was by his ex-lover Marita Lorenzwhom he met in 1959. She allegedly agreed to aid the CIA and attempted to smuggle a jar of cold cream containing poison pills into his room. When Castro realizedhe reportedly gave her a gun and told her to kill him but her nerve failed. Castro once saidin regards to the numerous attempts on his life he believes have been made"If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic eventI would win the gold medal." One such assassination attempt before the Bay of Pigs invasion involved Johnny Roselli and Al Capone's successor in the Chicago OutfitSalvatore Giancana and his right-hand man Santos Trafficante.

Retired at the age of 83with poor healthit's hardly probable that Fidel will suffer the 639th attempt.
 
4. Hussein of Jordan: survived 12 attempts of assassination and was saved once by a medal in his uniform
 
 
Hussein bin Talal was the King of Jordan from the abdication of his fatherKing Talalin 1952until his deathin 1999. During his lifehe suffered at least 12 attempts of assassinationmostly during the 1950s and 1960s and once wrote 'that sometimes I have felt like the central character in a detective novel'. The first attempt occurred in 1951. He was with his grandfatherthe King Abdullah. A Palestinian extremist opened fire on Abdullah and his grandson on July 20 of that year as the pair walked into the mosque for Friday prayers. Abdullah was killedbut the 15-year-old Hussein pursued the gunman. The assailant turned his weapon on the young princewho was saved when the bullet was deflected by a medal on his uniform given to him by his grandfather. In 1970King Hussein survived an assassination attempt after gunmen opened fire on his motorcade as it was driving near his summer palace. The king was said to be unharmed but it is understood his driver was wounded in the attackwhich took place in the town of Sweileh12 miles (19km) northeast of the capitalAmman. The king jumped out of his car and fired back at the attackers.

He died of cancer in 1999 at the age of 63.
 
5. Zog of Albania: suffered 55 killing attempts and once survived after shooting his potential assassins
 
 
 
Zog ISkanderbeg III was the king of the Albanians from 1928 to 1939. During his reignhe is reputed to have survived over 55 assassination attempts. One of these occurred in 1931 while Zog was visiting a Vienna opera house for a performance of Pagliacci. The attackers struck whilst Zog was getting into his carand he survived by firing back with a pistol that he always carried with him.
 
6. Yasser Arafat: escaped from several bombing attacks and a plane crash
 
 
Mohammed Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa Al-Husseinimore commonly known as Yasser Arafat was a Palestinian leader. During his life survived several assassination attempts. In 1985 he narrowly survived an Israeli assassination attempt when Israeli Air Force F-15s bombed his headquarters there as part of Operation Wooden Legleaving 73 people dead. Arafat had gone out jogging that morning. He also survived a car write-off and a plane crash in a sandstorm in the Libyan desert on April 71992. Two pilots and an engineer were killedArafat was bruised and shaken. He died November 112004at age 75 in a hospital in Paris.

The cause of death was never announcedand remains a mystery. Conspiratorial suggestions that Israel was somehow involved were quickly rejected by Palestinian authorities. Rumors have circulated for decades that Arafat was gayand much of the speculation about his deathand the associated secrecy of the circumstanceshave led to suggestions that he may have died of Aids.
 
7. Alexander II of Russia: after several attemptsgot killed with a plan that included 3 backup bombers
 
 
 
Also known as Alexander the Liberatorhe was the Emperoror Czarof the Russian Empire from 3 March 1855 until his assassination in 1881. In 1866there was an attempt on the tsar's life in St. Petersburg by Dmitry Karakozov. To commemorate his narrow escape from death (which he himself referred to only as "the event of 4 April 1866")a number of churches and chapels were built in many Russian cities. Thirteen years lateron the morning of 20 April 1879Alexander II was briskly walking towards the Square of the Guards Staff and faced Alexander Solovieva 33-year-old former student. Having seen a menacing revolver in his handsthe Tsar fled. Soloviev fired five times but missedand was sentenced to death and hanged on 28 May. In December 1879the Narodnaya Volyaa radical revolutionary group which hoped to ignite a social revolutionorganized an explosion on the railway from Livadia to Moscowbut they missed the tsar's train. On the evening of 5 February 1880 Stephan Khalturinalso from Narodnaya Volyaset off a charge under the dining room of the Winter Palace. Eleven people were killed and 30 wounded but the tsar was unharmed because he was late for dinner.

FinallyOn 13 March 1881Alexander felt victim to an assassination plot. As he was known to do every Sunday for many yearsthe tsar went to the Manezh to review the Life Guards. He traveled both to and from the Manezh in a closed carriage accompanied by six Cossacks with a seventh sitting on the coachman's left. The tsar's carriage was followed by two sleighs carryingamong othersthe chief of police and the chief of the tsar's guards. The street was flanked by narrow sidewalks for the public. Another member of the Narodnaya Volya movementNikolai Rysakovwas carrying a small white package wrapped in a handkerchief. "After a moment's hesitation I threw the bomb. I sent it under the horses' hooves in the supposition that it would blow up under the carriage...The explosion knocked me into the fence."

The explosionwhile killing one of the Cossacks and seriously wounding the driver and people on the sidewalkhad only damaged the bulletproof carriagea gift from Napoleon III of France. The tsar emerged shaken but unhurt. Rysakov was captured almost immediately. Police Chief Dvorzhitsky heard Rysakov shout out to someone else in the gathering crowd. The surrounding guards and the Cossacks urged the tsar to leave the area at once rather than being shown at the site of the explosion. A second young member of the Narodnaya VolyaIgnacy Hryniewieckistanding by the canal fenceraised both arms and threw another bomb at the tsar's feet. Later it was learned there was a third bomber in the crowd that would have been used if the other two bombers failed.
 
8. Gabriel Garcia Moreno: had his hand cut off with a machetewas shot 5 times but still managed to shout "God does not die"
 
 
Gabriel García Moreno (1821-1875) was the President of Ecuador in 1861. He was reelected three times. In 1875when he got elected for the third timeit was considered to be his death warrant. He wrote immediately to Pope Pius IX asking for his blessing before inauguration day on August 30and told him that he knew about conspiracies to assassinate him.

García Moreno's prediction was correcton August 61875President Moreno went to the Cathedral in Quito to adore the Blessed Sacrament as he did often. Leaving the Cathedralhis assassins sprang into action. Faustino Rayothe leader of the bandsuddenly attacked the President with a machete while his comrades opened fire with revolvers. But he didn't die right away. Fallen from the porch and lying stretched out on the groundhis head bleedinghis left arm severed and right hand cut off by blows of a machetethe illustrious victim recognized his assailants. Some accounts say he gasped his last wordsothers that he was able to cry them out defiantly. All agree on the words themselves:"Dios no muere!" "God does not die!" Still conscioushe was brought back into the Cathedral and was laid before the altar of Our Lady of Sorrows. There he received the Last Rites and finally expired. Pope Pius IXdeclared that Gabriel Garcia Moreno "died a victim of the Faith and Christian Charity for his beloved country."
