John F Kennedy Conspiracy Theories
It was all over in a few seconds, but the assassination of John F Kennedy on 22 November 1963 has generated five decades of conspiracy theories. At Dallas Texas the president was shot in motorcade. There are many conspiracy theories on how and who shot the president. There are many conspiracy cover-ups and what Oswald and Ruby were doing. 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 …show more content…
The third shot wounded Governor John Connally. Who was sitting in the front seat of the motorcade with John F. Kennedy. Oswald did so much damage with just three bullets. It posed that both men were hit by a single bullet. Which extended to JFKs upper back and exited through his throat and then struck Governor John Connally´s ribs breaking them then shattering his wrist then finally resting in his thigh. Skeptics say that the trajectory was fanciful and renamed it as the magic bullet theory. It's just one reason why conspiracy theorists think more than one shooter was involved(who killed

    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.…

    At 12:30pm, on the 22nd of November, 1963, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is shot once through the throat, before being mortally wounded by a second shot, this time to the head. At 12:35pm, the Presidents open limousine arrives at Parkland Memorial Hospital, approximately six kilometres from the site of the shooting (Dealey Plaza, Dallas Texas). At 1pm, President John F Kennedy is officially pronounced dead, and finally, at 1:20pm Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson is notified of JFK’s death. At 2:38pm, two hours and eight minutes after Kennedy’s assassination, Lyndon Baines Johnson is sworn in as the 36th president of the United States of America. Evidence gathered (and available to the public) concerning the assassination of President John F Kennedy overwhelmingly supports the theory of a lone gunman.…

    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.…

    On November 22, 1963, president John F. Kennedy was in Dallas, Texas for a speech at the Dealey Plaza. On his way there, in an open convertible, instead of going down Dallas’ Main St., which they planned to, they decided to go down Elm St. where there were more buildings and a better crowd view. On going down Elm St. now, there were three shots. Two of the shots hit the president, one in the neck and one in the head, and the third shot hit the governor. Ninety seconds after the shots, officers rushed into the Texas School Book Depository to find a man named Lee Harvey Oswald eating his lunch very calmly on the second floor and a sniper rifle on the sixth floor.

    Other than the shots that came from the back, there is evidence of shots from the front. A doctor that worked on Kennedy had stated that a shot hit Kennedy in the throat from his front side (“What is the Case for a Conspiracy in the Assassination?”). There were about 40 witnesses that thought they detected a shot from the grassy knoll, which was in front of Kennedy’s car. In the late 1970s the HSCA (House Select Committee on Assassinations) admitted there was a possibility that a shot came from the grassy knoll. There were also films of the assassination that came out. These films showed that Kennedy’s head went backwards instead of forwards as a result of the shot (“What is the Case for a Conspiracy in the…

    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.…

    The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most debated topics in American History. JFK was one of the best presidents that the United States has had. Unlike other assassinations, the JFK assassination is one that filled the conspiracy theories. There are a lot of different conspiracies out there that are thought to be true. Some have to do with the government and some with the mafia and Cuban President Fidel Castro. I think that the idea of a lone assassination, including just Lee Harvey Oswald, is too simple. I think it had to have been a conspiracy. I think there is simply no way that Lee Harvey Oswald did all of that by himself. There is a lot of conspiracy theories that are clearly not true but there is also a couple that make a lot of sense and could easily be true. So I am on the conspiracy side.…

    On this day America was shook as Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly sat on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book depository with a Mannlicher Carcano rifle and shot president Kennedy twice. Once in the head and once in the neck as he was riding in the back of a topless limo with his wife Jackie. There are many theories behind this assassination because of the many weird coincidences that day. Most of these coincidences are questionable, such as the Dealey Plaza itself.
