CIA, mafia, and castro no one really knows who it was. one simple assassination case became this one big snowball that just couldn't stop.…
Many conspiracies surround the death of President John F. Kennedy. What the Warren Commission and other American Intelligence resources tell us is simple. The President was killed by a deeply motivated, and angry Lee Harvey Oswald who acted alone in carrying out this murder. He fired three shots from the School Book depository in Dallas Texas, one bullet missing the car completely, another passing through the President and into Governor Connolly, and a third delivering the fatal headshot to the President. But what really happened on that day in Dallas? Numerous investigations and new technology and evidence reveal a strong possibility for more than one shooter to have been present and active during the attempt on John F. Kennedy’s life.…
It is a well-known fact that President John F Kennedy was shot dead, assassinated in Dealey Plaza on the 22nd of November, 1963. What is still debated today however, is who killed Kennedy, and how many people were involved. One of the main contributing factors to this debate is the amount of potential forensic evidence destroyed, the question of how reliable some of the evidence is (, mainly eye-witness accounts), and the evidence that is yet to be released to the public (, why is it locked up, what light can it shed on the event?). Due to many problems surrounding the very evidence that historians, politicians and common people alike draw their opinions from, there can be no definitive conclusion as to whether JFK was killed by a lone gunman, or even who is ultimately responsible for his death. The evidence recovered on the assassination of JFK largely supports the theory of a lone gunman, the identity of this gunman however, is still hotly debated, but a significant portion of all evidence released to the public points to the lone gunman theory. The way this evidence supports the lone gunman theory is varied. Several eye witnesses claim…
I believe the government plotted the JFK assassination. Why would they do this? I do not know. I do know that the evidence proves the government did it. The special ops being shipped to the South Pole, the shot from the grassy knoll, and the change in the parade route is some of the evidence presented to the public, causing the reasons for conspiracy theories. The government used Lee Harvey Oswald as a scapegoat and for the United States public to blame it on.…
There are many conspiracy theories and there are two main one that are most familiar. The first one is the grassy knoll and second the magic bullet theory. The grassy knoll is by railroad tracks. Two FBI agents saw smoke and heard the shot that came from the left. The rail road workers heard two shots from those two shots they said they saw a puff of smoke. Some people lounging at the grassy knoll also said they saw it from the grassy knoll area (Stewart 158).The warren commission ignored Holland's testimony and never addressed the fact that five rail road workers saw claimed to have seen the smoke even with the two FBI agents. Also the two FBI agents claimed to have not fired the gun at any time on the grassy knoll (Stewart 159).The reason from the first shot that supposedly came from Oswald the second one had to of come from the back because the presidents head shot back…
The first person who I think is responsible without a doubt is obviously Lee Harvey Oswald. But I don't believe Oswald fired all the shots, or the fatal shot to JFK's head. From watching the video, it pretty much made it obvious how almost impossible it would be for one man who is no way a world record shot by any means to fire a rifle three times in the amount of seconds Oswald did and be as accurate as he did. I believed he fired the shot that hit the ground and the shot that hit JFK in the back. I believe Oswald's main purpose was to be a scapegoat for the real assassin.…
George Thomson, a pool builder from California, published a book about his own theories in 1964. Thomson believes that 22 shots were fired, and five people were killed in the Dealey Plaza that day. Thomson also came up with the "Kennedy Lives Theory". He claims that Officer J.D. Tippit, who looks very identical to the president, was riding in the limousine, impersonating JFK. Tippit was reported killed the same day Kennedy was assassinated, because he was supposedly shot by Lee Harvey Oswald when the officer tried to stop him. Thomson believes that Kennedy escaped because he was supposedly seen at a private party for author, Truman Capote, one year after the assassination. This would match up to the reasoning behind the illegal transportation of the body and the "missing" x-rays. Another contribution to this theory was the sketchy autopsy that was done on JFK's body. The Zapruder films shows a big hole blown on the right side of the head, but neither of the two autopsies noticed the hole. It was also reported that officer Tippit was shot in the head. There is no explanation as to why Kennedy would stay in hiding though.…
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 at Dallas TX. The police thought that Lee Harvey Oswald, but many people speculate that he was part of a bigger conspiracy or that he wasn’t even the killer. The government released an investigation team called the Warren Commission. What leads a lot of these theories is that the Warren Commission ignored important information. On the day of the shooting, as the motorcade came down the street, three shots coming from the sixth floor at the Texas School Book Depository ( where Oswald worked) in less than 10 seconds. This is when Kennedy died. Within 15 minutes of the crime, there was a description of Oswald given to the police and…
One widely excepted theory was that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK and injured Governor John Connally. In this theory Oswald was set up in a window and shot three bullets which hit JFK in the head and in the neck, and one struck the Governor. There is also another spin of of this theory called “The Grassy Knoll”. This theory says that Oswald wasn’t working alone, but he had help from CIA assassins that were disguised as homeless men by the grassy knoll on the north side of Elm Street. There are also some theories saying that Oswald wasn’t just a loner, but that he was paid to do this task, but by who? Well there are multiple such as; the CIA, the Mafia, the KGB aka the Russian mob.…
There is so much evidence that shows Lee Harvey Oswald was not the lone shooter that day. The main conspiracies, or secret plans that can change people's minds about the assassination that changed American history. This theory is one of the three bullets Oswald shot in 8.3 seconds, proven the best gunmen could not get off three shots with the rifle, classified as the Carcano M91/38 Bolt Action in this time. One of the three bullets is named “Magic Bullet” that has supposedly changed its direction twice. Entering JFk’s back to come out of the throat then also exiting the throat onto hitting connally to his right armpit. Not only does a bullet take two turns after a shot it had too little too damage to of had these…
After November 22, 1963, the date of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy assassination, a multitude of conspiracies rose up. There were a lot of conspiracies including Oswald acting alone and that Lyndon B. Johnson plan to killed J.F.K. With all of the conspiracies there are, none of them have been one hundred percent proven yet. People have all kinds of opinions on these conspiracies. Even though many people think J.F.K. was assassinated by Oswald acting alone, there is plenty of evidence showing there are other conspiracies possible.…
The number one theory is that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman. Lee Oswald was on the sixth floor of the former Texas School Book Depository where he worked at the time. President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade was passing by the former Texas School Book Depository, when three shots were fired from the Depository and President John F. Kennedy was killed. Despite forensic, ballistic, and circumstantial evidence, the lone gunman theory has been rejected by much of the U.S. public over the years. A snipers nest was found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, along with three spent bullet shells. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Oswald fired the shots which killed Kennedy, but differed from previous investigations in concluding that "scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy. Therefore, Oswald was at least one of the shooters; he may have been the only shooter but that determination may never be made.…
Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939 in New Orleans. He grew up as a orphan, and as a kid he was always know as a trouble maker throughout school, and after trying to skip all of 8th grade, was sent to a detention hall. (Auto biography) Shortly after becoming 18, he joined the marines. He was classified as a marksman, but was shortly kicked out after being court marshaled twice for owning illegal weapons and displaying violent behavior (biography.com). He then took a likening to socialist literature, and later defected to Russia. He was under constant watch from KGB while there. While in Russia, he met Maria Rusakoves, whom he later married. After they gave birth to their firstborn,…
He has a violent past, with being mentally disturbed as a child and threatening to kill his mother (Posner). He worked at the Texas School Book Depository, so it is plausible that he could be the assassin. When Oswald was arrested at the movie theater, he clearly stated “This is it, it’s all over now.” (Brussell). This makes him sound guilty, not to mention he was carrying a rifle “because he felt like it”. However, this claim is refuted due to paraffin tests on Oswald’s cheek and hands that prove he did not fire a rifle the day of the assassination. Fidel Castro, who trained his men to shoot from telescopic sights, concluded that Oswald could not have shot JFK without help, because he conducted an experiment and his men could not do it alone (Goldberg). In order for there to even be a possibility of Lee Harvey Oswald being the assassin, over 12 witnesses and experts need to have been mistaken (Bojczuk). It is highly unlikely that all of those witnesses were unaccountable, therefore supporting Oswald’s innocence.…
With the incredible amount of conjecture in the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, the mystery of what actually occurred still lies shrouded in mystery and hangs heavily over our heads today. From one theory to another, there is simply no telling what the real honest motive in killing the enigmatic President truly was. Among some of the various and fantastic theories, are those involving: the Chicago mafia, Lee Harvey Oswald attempting the murder by himself, and best of all both sides of our own the U.S. government. Alas, after numerous investigations, there is no hard tangible proof, for any one of these theories to put the mystery to rest.…
