Assassination of John F. Kennedy: Truth or Conspiracy

According to findings of the Select Committee on Assassinations, Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at President John F. Kennedy. While all but one bullet hit the President, the third and final shot fired killed the President. They believe that President Kennedy was struck by two rifle shots fired from behind him from the sixth floor window of the southeast

It was believed in the “Oswald lone shooting” theory that he shot one bullet. From educated background knowledge about rifles, the rifle believed to be used in the assassination might have been accurate enough to get the job done, but at the angle and height it would have been almost impossible to make the shot. That bullet was believed to have traveled from the sixth floor of the book depository on a downward slant. It had to be timed perfectly considering the target was moving at fourteen miles an hour. While this seems like a hard shot to make already, the bullet entered Kennedy's back and then moved upward on an apparent ricochet, out his throat and into John Connelly’s chest, where it created seven wounds all together (“JFK Assassination”). “There is no way that one bullet was shot. In the video Kennedy moves more than once” (Bradford). Many people have doubted the one bullet

A close analysis of the Zapruder film, which shows the entire assassination, proves that the shots came from the grassy knoll. The knoll, at the time of the fatal headshot, was to the right and slightly in front of the limousine. The Zapruder film shows the presidents head snap back and to the left, thus showing that the headshot must have been fired from the grassy knoll. This is backed up with medical evidence. Witness after witness who saw President Kennedy’s head – from doctors, to federal agents, to trained emergency room nurses, to medical technicians who assisted with the autopsy, to highly trained and specialised neurosurgeons – all said they saw a large wound in the rear portion of the skull. This is a signature wound associated with the exit of a bullet.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy is said to be, as from the Warren report, a murder. The Warren report states that a man, Lee Harvey Oswald, fired 3 shots from the 6th floor of the Texas Book State Depository building. One missed the President’s motorcade completely; another hit President Kennedy in the neck, and the last hit him in the head, which was later said after an autopsy, to be the cause of death.

There are many theories that have been introduced to people surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The assassination of the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, occurred on November 22, 1963. Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in the presidential limousine through the streets of Dallas, Texas. The projectile that struck his head shattered the right side of his skull. During an interview with the Detroit Free Press (2013), a former secret service agent named Clint Hill recalled his actions moments after the shooting. He tells the reporter that he covered the presidents head because, "She didn't want anybody to see the condition he

At 10:30am: Kennedy remarks to Jackie "you know, last night would have been a hell of a night to assassinate a president…" that is a reference to their late night motorcade through For Worth in Texas. At 11:50am: Multiple co-workers see Oswald on the first floor of the book depository eating lunch. With the motorcade leaving Love Field to begin the motorcade through Dallas.12:05pm: President Kennedy makes his first of many stops at groups of people waiting to meet him and shake his hand, delaying the motorcade by five minutes. The president 's last minutes are crunching to the impact of the gun shot from Lee. At 12:29pm: The president 's limo turns onto Elm St. The first shot is fired missing the president. A fragment from the bullet or debris from the street hit James Tauge who is watching the motorcade in Dealey Plaza. A man is standing near the Stemmons Freeway sign with an opened umbrella. With the umbrella man it is also a conspiracy theory that deals with JFK. At 12:30pm: The second shot is fired, causing Kennedy to go into Thornburn 's position, He was shot in the throat. This is a common neurological response to spinal damage. The third shot is fired, hitting the president on the back, right side of his head, causing a portion of his head behind his right ear to blow out. Right after the third shot is fired. Oswald quickly gets a Coke from the soda machine in the

But as his convertible passed by the Dallas book depository, he was fatally shot once in the neck and once in the head. A shot also hit Dallas governor John Connoly in the chest. The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital however, John F Kennedy was read his last rites by a catholic priest and was pronounced dead at 1:00 PM. John Connoly was seriously injured but

Texas Theater where Oswald was arrested says that Oswald was at the theater the exact moment Officer Tippit was killed. “The bullet shells from an automatic pistol found at the Tippit killing scene don't even fit Oswald’s only known handgun which was a revolver” (Groden 23). “The doctors who labored in a futile effort to save Kennedy’s life at the Parkland hospital all had stated that in contemporaneous interviews that the wound in his throat had been and entrance wound. Wade and the FBI had concluded that Oswald was directly behind the president and that he alone had fired a weapon in Dealey plaza.” (Lane 17). So if he was directly behind the president how could he create and exit wound in the front of John F. Kennedy’s throat. Also if the

The shots boom in the Texas School Book Depository! President Kennedy was shot twice, once in the throat and then a few seconds later he was shot in the back of the head. Oswald was the killer, the reason he did it may never be known. Although many people believe that there were multiple assassins, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination.

On Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, John Kennedy hoped to gain support for the upcoming election. Kennedy, who was accompanied by his wife Jaqueline, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson, Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas, Governor John B. Connally, and Mrs. Connally was riding in an open car in a motorcade driving from Love Field airport to the Dallas Trade Mart (“Kennedy”). At 12:30 p.m. CST, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot (“Kennedy”). The fearless John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy seemed to know that death would eventually arrive at his doorstep, as it did. Although one shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, was able to slay the president, questions still remain if he was the one and only shooter. Many unanswered

Another bullet struck Kennedy in the rear portion of his head, causing a massive and fatal wound, and landing him into Mrs. Kennedy’s lap (Nizer, pg.8). Secret Service Agencies began to act, shielding Kennedy and his wife as they sped to Parkland Memorial Hospital; 4 miles away. At the hospital, Kennedy was treated by a team of physicians who examined his body and fatal wounds. But sadly, Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1 p.m.

This was also backed up by the differences between the original diagnosis from the Dallas doctors and the official autopsy of JFK’s body. The Dallas doctors found that Kennedy’s throat wound was an entrance wound which meant that the Warren Commission was wrong about Oswald shooting Kennedy from behind. However, before the official autopsy, Kennedy’s body was left unattended for about twenty minutes, in which there may have been a clumsy attempt to alter JFK’s wounds to fit the Warren Commission’s theory. The official autopsy then diagnosed that the throat wound was an exit wound, fitting continently with the theory that Oswald shot JFK from behind. The Dallas doctors could just have made a mistake, however it is more probable that the Warren Commission’s theory about Oswald was wrong and they tried to cover it up by tampering with Kennedy’s wounds.

This week I would write about one of the greatest conspiracies that the world has seen, and this is the assassination of John F Kennedy. The 35th President of the United States was shot the November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas at 12.30pm . He was fatally shot in his wife's car. The ten-month investigation concluded that the President had been assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald that was founded dead while he was in police custody by Jack Ruby.

In opposition to this, the Washington examination reports demonstrate that the slug left from the neck. Their report affirmed the 'single projectile hypothesis' tended to by the Warren Commission whose conclusion was exceedingly reliant on this hypothesis. This hypothesis was that a shot had entered Kennedy's correct shoulder bone, wounded the strap muscles of the right half of the neck, harming the windpipe and making its passageway through the front of the neck, it had entered Governor Connelly's back, who had been situated before Kennedy, experienced his midsection taking out some piece of his fifth rib and falling his lung. The shot then went into his right wrist and afterward covered itself in his left thigh. In spite of the fact that there is medicinal proof to help this hypothesis, some accept that the shots way and speed couldn't have been conceivable. Indeed Governor Connelly accepted that the slug that injured Kennedy wasn't the same one answerable for his injuries.

After the long months of investigations, the warren commission report didn’t give us any compelling explanations to the sequence of the shooting. It instead showed us three different explanations. In each explanation, One of the three bullets fatally Striking the president in the head, another hit and went through Kennedy before striking Governor Connally Seriously wounding him, and the last shot Oswald fired...well, the Warren commission Report wouldn’t say where the third bullet went or even when Oswald fired it.
