Who Was Responsible for Jfk's Death?
Who you think was responsible for the assassination of Kennedy?
The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the biggest cases built up on theories and endless misplacements. Kennedy was assassinated on Friday 22nd November 1963, in Dallas, Texas. This mystery has not yet been solved; people have different opinions and blame different people or groups. I think that Kennedy was assassinated by the American intelligence plot. Again everyone has their own opinions, but I will explain during this report why I think this, also I will explain some of the theories. The warren commission- Warren was the judge that handled the case in court. After Kennedy’s death Lyndon B. Johnson was appointed president. He immediately set up a commission to conclude what had happened to J.F.K. Earl Warren was the chief Justice. Two weeks after Kennedy’s death the Warren commission produced a 500 page report with no index, making it difficult for anyone to check the facts. They concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman and also that there was no evidence of a conspiracy. The Warren commission report was published in October 1964. (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKwarrenR.htm)

‘Lone assassin’ theory- Lee Harvey Oswald was originally arrested for the murder of a police officer. Oswald denied both murders, but only two days while being transferred to county jail, he was shot by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner. The evidence proves that Oswald could not have shot all of the shots that they heard on the radio. Oswald could not of fired his bolt-action rifle fast enough to wound both Kennedy and Connally with separate shots. ( that’s where the ‘magic bullet’ theory comes from) (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKSinvestOswald.htm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_gunman_theory) ‘Magic bullet’ theory-
This picture shows the bullet that hit Kennedy and travelled into Connally hitting him in the wrist and thigh. As you can see Connally was sitting right in

    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. Ruby died of lung cancer on January 3, 1967 in a parkland memorial hospital and never admitted to any connections.…

    Here he comes! Heading passed the Texas Book Depository. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Our thirty-fifth president John F. Kennedy was shot, and died instantly. How many shooters were there?

    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.…

    JFK LONE GUNMAN

    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…

    In this paper, I will discuss the controversy of the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald was the single shooter in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK). Against what Mr. O’Reilly and Mr. Dugard have said, I do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the single shooter in the assassination of JFK, because the only three shots fired from his rifle would have been spaced out evenly, instead of bunched up, as witnesses testified.…

    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.…

    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…

    The Warren commission is where it all falls into place. The single document that was released a year after the president’s death that told the whole story, all the facts, all of the conspiracies. and all of the possibilities. This was where later facts were pieced together to create more conspiracies. The harder we look into it and the more we figure things out the more complicated things get. It stated many other things like other gunman that could have been on site and even fired. The commission is the only piece that covers everything in the assassination and even if it covers all the knowns we can't be quite sure if it covers even half of the unknowns in the whole mystery of Lee Harvey Oswald, Vice President Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, the mafia, and the president John Fitzgerald…

    Jfk Conspiracy Theory

    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.…

Kennedy was buried at Arlington Cemetary in Virgina. The conspiracy of John F. Kennedy's death is arguably true if you deep research whether it was planned or if it was even played for by the CIA no one will ever know, to be quite honest with you when the shot was fired it was said to be coming out of a crowd of 200 people and the shot that was fired was a direct hit in the head some may argue that it was the impossible shot fired at such a far distance and so accurate.
