Kou Voravong
The political crisis caused by his assassination, barely two months after the Geneva Agreements which prepared to restore peace in Indochina, contributed to bring down the current neutralist government (pro-French) which was replaced by a progressive one (pro-American) in extremely tense atmosphere of the Cold War between Russia and the United States. From 1955 indeed, the political history of this small landlocked country fell trapped inexorably in the ideological confrontation between the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union, annihilating any hope of national unification.
Eldon Hoke
After the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain on April 5, 1994, Hoke began making the claim that Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, had offered to pay Hoke to kill Cobain. Hoke promoted his story in such media outlets as TV's "Jerry Springer Show", "The National Enquirer" weekly tabloid, and in Nick Broomfield's documentary film, "Kurt & Courtney". El Duce claimed in the film that he knew who killed Cobain (giving the name "Allen"), but said he would "let the FBI catch him".
