    THE MOB FELT BETRAYED IN 1963. Chicago godfather Sam Giancana had helped Kennedy win the 1960 election through skulduggery, and Miami mobster Santos Trafficante had aided the CIA in its assassination attempts on Castro. But rather than pledging their loyalty, the Kennedys launched an all-out campaign against organized crime. Attorney General Robert Kennedy first went after Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa and then deported New Orleans syndicate boss Carlos Marcello to Guatemala. Pushed around long enough, and angry at the president for going soft on Castro -- who had shut down its lucrative Cuban casinos -- the mob made someone an offer he couldn't refuse. Oswald was either its hit man or its patsy. Upon his arrest, the mob dispatched Jack Ruby to silence him.…

    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.…

    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. Lee Harvey Oswald worked at the school book depository and was arrested and put…

    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.…

    Plotting and executing a terrorist attack without commands from an organization represents a deadly tradition. In the nineteenth century, Mikhail Bakunin, the infamous Russian anarchist, described theconcept of "propaganda by deed" and advocated that solitary assassins should kill individuals who represented the corrupt social structure. Among other things, acting individually allowed anarchists to avoid being bogged down by the coercive power usually associated with large, hierarchal organizations. Although in the early 1900's lone wolf terrorism fell out of favor with many anarchists, terrorism by single perpetrators accelerated later in the century. Lone wolves killed 7% of United States terrorism victims during 1955-1978, a rate that increased…
