Jfk Magic Bullet Theory
We all know and it is sad to say that John F Kennedy, America’s 36th president, was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. It was so sudden and people didn't know how this could happen. As a result of this, many theories about the infamous assassination of John F. Kennedy have come about throughout the years.Whether he was killed by two people, one person, or even the government. There is so much speculation on this topic. I myself agree with one of the theories. The theory is that the CIA did it. In my opinion, the theory that I have chosen gives great evidence as to why it is true. To further explain this theory as truth I will give a description of other theories that in my opinion does not make sense. This will give the …show more content…

This theory is hard to believe. It was introduced and provided by Warren Commission.It explains how one bullet travels through both JFK and at the time Texas governor John Connally.The theory states that in this shooting the bullet went down into Kennedy’s back,then it exited through his throat, and afterward the bullet flew into Connally’s right armpit leaving and shattering his rib.After the bullet shatters his rib it travels and stops to the thigh. This whole theory is impossible in so many ways. To start off the footage of the assassination reveals the magic bullet theory as untrue. According to www.mcadams.posc.mu.edu Connally appeared to be unhurt in Zapruder frame 230, but John F.Kennedy was reacting to being hit at that point, so the claim that both men were hit by the same bullet at the time is illogical, if the bullet did go through both me when could it have happened, not to mention that Kennedy would have to be hit at the same time, and again. Also, the so-called bullet is pristine, meaning that the bullet is unscathed or undamaged. How could a bullet go through all this yet look like new? The third theory that is more logical than the others but, in my opinion, wrong, the “Lyndon Johnson did it” theory. The theory is simple. Johnson set up the president , so he can be president.I feel that this could be a possible reason for killing JFK if Johnson really urged to be the president or alleged the motive of Kennedy planning to dump Johnson from the election, leaving him exposed to corruption probes,but it is too many things involved within it. According to guardian.com Johnson supposedly used the CIA, the White House, Cuban exile community, and the mob to assassinate

    The mafia had a large part in the assassination. Two days after JFK was killed Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. He was killed while in police custody by Jack Ruby. He was sent by the mob to “silence” him. The FBI investigated and found no evidence connecting him to the mob other than a few calls.

    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.…

    John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the thirtieth President of the United States was assassinated on November 22, 1963. He was shot as his motorcade drove through Dallas, Texas, by Lee Harvey Oswald.

    There are so many theories on the JFK assassination but the ones that are the most common and the most logical are that the CIA set up Lee Harvey Oswald, the Mob set him up, or that he work as an independent. There are only solid and reasonable and facts behind those three hypothesis. Those are only the three major ones but there have been many different conspiracies and after public opinion polls consistently show that the people believe there was a conspiracy of some sort and they have a great reason to. Even though there are so many different conspiracies that researchers believe that up to 42 groups, 84 assassinators, and 214 people were viewed as possibilities in the assassination of Kennedy. Even strong beliefs that Oswald wasn't…

    Many of the Warren Commission supporters claim they can find no motive for why a conspiracy would have taken place, but in disagreement, the Warren Commission has never presented an actual motive for either killer. In fact, there are many reasons why powerful groups would have wanted to kill President Kennedy as mentioned throughout this report. More information that pertains to the assassination of JFK, which has been secured by the government and unavailable to the public, will someday be available for one to possibly research thoroughly. In fact that time will be in 2030 and the United States government is required to release all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination (Murphy, 2001.). If the entire government, spearheaded by the CIA killed Kennedy, then they would not ever acknowledge it. Many other popular theories present good logical reasoning for why a good government cover-up would be in order.…

    I started my researching who killed JFK and looking at an overall list of what the conspiracy theories where, then took the most widely regarded ones and dug a little deeper into them, looking into some of the reasoning behind their stances. After my research, I came to he conclusion the mafia were behind the assassination because that seemed like the most put together theory. It seemed likely that through his previous connection with the mafia, their influence in his election, their ties to dealings in Cuba before the Bay of Pigs, and the fact Robert wouldn’t let up on organize crime could all lead to something like an assassination. I believe I regarded this information critically, establishing my opinion on who killed JFK, but also having the reason to doubt that it is not a known fact who killed Kennedy and other theories may also have compelling evidence that I have to be open to hearing. Notably, I had never heard the theory that Kennedy arranged is own death before, but listening to Amanda talk about it in class you could sort of make understand and it made…

    Thoughts surrounding the JFK assassination are interesting and controversial. Conventional wisdom dictates that a single shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot and killed President Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. However, there is evidence to support that there were multiple shooters and Lee Harvey Oswald was not in the position to shoot the bullets everyone said he did, and many people truly believe that to be so. It is simple to dismiss such conspiracy theory as imaginative fiction, but many people have done research to prove that the single shooter did not kill President Kennedy alone. I believe that someone with more power than Oswald carried out this assassination and framed Oswald, and will use research to support this claim.…

    On November 22, 1963, a tragic event occurred in America that shook the nation. The president at the time, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. What not many people know is that his assumed assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was actually assassinated two days later. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot while being transferred to the county jail, by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner. Oswald was supposedly assassinated because Jack Ruby was so moved by the death of John F. Kennedy that he wanted revenge. The assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald was unjust because there is little to no evidence that he murdered JFK, and there was never a full trial determining whether the assassin was Oswald or not; however, others believe that Oswald was the assassin of JFK, so…
