The JFK Assassination
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is a mystery. We really do not know much about what happened on November 22, 1963 but we do know that someone shot one of our country's beloved presidents. The only question is who did it. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the murder of John F. Kennedy but we do not know for sure that he was the one who committed the crime. If Oswald did kill Kennedy, was he alone or was he working with a group? I personally believe that Oswald was part of a conspiracy. I read an article called The JFK assassination. The article states that “He worked in the Texas School Book Depository at the time of the assassination.” This proves that he could have been the killer because he worked at the building where they believe the shots came from. The article …show more content…
Some people think the shots came from behind them on a grassy knoll in fact, one reported that he saw two men, one a railroad worker and another wearing a uniform, behind the grassy knoll. Smoke was coming from their direction. He saw one of the men take a gun apart and place in a tool box. The FBI offered him money to keep quiet about this. This seems pretty strange to me, I think that Oswald didn’t kill Kennedy but someone on the grassy knoll did. This also makes me think that the FBI was in on the assassination plans and helped a conspiracy get away with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I also don’t think Oswald killed Kennedy because he was seen eating lunch on the second floor minutes before the assassination and was found in the same place right after the assassination. Like I said in the beginning, there is still a lot of things we don’t know about the assassination of John F. Kennedy and some of the events that took place on November 22, 1963 cannot be explained but I believe that Oswald was part of a

    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.…

    What really happened on the 22nd of November in the year 1963? This question has lingered throughout minds of American citizens for the past 50 years. Who killed the beloved John Frederick Kennedy? What would be one’s intentions behind this atrocious action?

    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…

    It is bizarre conspiracy but one that provides some interesting statements. The president earlier said that he wanted to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds” (Bond). This statement alone made by JFK could have made CIA agents furious with Kennedy and have the motive to kill him. There might have been CIA agents undercover at the parade in Dallas where the president was. Some theories said that Oswald worked for CIA and did not do it all by himself.…

    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.…

    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.…
