Brief Summary Of Lee Harvey Oswald's Assassination Of The CIA

Kennedy was assassinated, his successor Lyndon Johnson established a commission to investigate Kennedy’s death which came to be known as the Warren Commission. The Warren Commission conducted a thorough and professional investigation into the responsibility of Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination, and after a nearly yearlong investigation, the commission concluded that alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating JFK, and that there was no conspiracy involved. Because the commission had excused the possibility of a conspiracy, the Select Committee on Assassinations felt they had failed to adequately investigate the possibility of a conspiracy. However, it is unfair to blame the commission in their decision to ignore the idea of a conspiracy seeing as they did not receive all relevant information that was in the possession of other agencies and departments of the Government. Despite the commission's evidence based conclusion, the report proved controversial and failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the

     The activities of the CIA are largely undisclosed. It undoubtedly makes use of the surveillance Sattelites of theNational Recconasonsse Office (NRO) and the signal interception capabilities of the NSA, including the Echelon system, and the surveillance aircraft of the various branches of the US armed forces. At one stage, the CIA even operated its own fleet of U-2 surveillance aircraft. The agency also employs a group of officers with paramilitary skills in its Special Division. Micheal Spaan, a CIA officer killed in November 2001 during the U.S. Invasion of Afghanistan, was one such individual. In its earliest years the CIA attempted to rollback Communism in Eastern Europe by supporting local anti-communist groups; none of these attempts met with much success. It was more successful in its efforts to limit Communist influence in France and Italy, though many believe there was never much of a Communist threat in these nations.

The day November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, would soon become known as a tragic day in US history. John F Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, had been drumming up support for the upcoming election. Tragically, he was brutally gunned down by Lee Harvey Oswald. At first glance, this assassination seems like a simple murder. A communist defector simply was angry with JFK and decided to kill him. Many people have failed to notice, however, that the CIA not only had motive to kill JFK, but they also attempted to cover up many details about Lee Harvey Oswald, and JFK in general. If the general populus continues to believe what the CIA wants them to, we will never understand who

Widely regarded as one of the most beloved presidents, John F. Kennedy is still remembered to this day. President Kennedy was involved in one of the most controversial topics in the history of the United States. Although a few presidents prior to JFK were unfortunately assassinated, JFK’s assassination is the one most discussed. Although many Americans know that Lee Harvey Oswald was the man that shot President Kennedy, no one knows what motivated him to do so. The FBI concluded that he committed the crime on his own will without ties to any groups. However, not everyone believes what the FBI tells them. One of the more popular theories regarding the President’s assassination is that CIA had plotted to kill him. In an online article, “The CIA and the JFK Assassination” written by the Mary Ferrell Foundation, the author of the article discusses the theory of the CIA killing the President and how the evidence supports the theory. This conspiracy theory garners a specific audience as the text targets those who are in fear of national security, have beliefs in Christianity, distrust the U.S. government, interested in socially significant events, and value knowing the truth.

However Castro found out about the plot, apparently through one of the Mafia bosses who was a Cuban sympathizer, Carlos Trafficante, and redirected it back at Kennedy. Another one of the mafia bosses also wanted to get back at Kennedy. Kennedy had won the presidential election with the mafia's help, and still his brother Robert, Attorney General at the time, was publicly prosecuting these same bosses as an effort to put down organized crime. It is believed that Trafficante redirected the Cuban exiles to accompany Oswald in Dallas. The third is the amount of government cover-ups that arose from the assassination. One year earlier Kennedy had made a secret pack with Russia that he would not interfere with the Cuban government. But Kennedy broke this pack by plotting to assassinate Castro. It was believed that if Castro was assassinated then Russia would have retaliated with nuclear weapons. Therefore Kennedy had to be eliminated so that this would not have happened. His death virtually eliminated the threat of Soviet retaliation against the U.S. for his plot to remove Castro using Mafia resources. The murder of Oswald by Jack Ruby plays into this theory that the government was somehow involved. Why would Jack Ruby kill Oswald? I believe that Ruby killed Oswald so that he would not leak to the public that the assassination was a conspiracy. How would the American people take it? Our president was killed by our own

The CIA’s involvement in the killing of JFK is one of the popular theories put forward by conspiracy theorists. President Kennedy was said to have told an official in his administration, “I want to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds” (McGovern, 2013, para. 3). Many of the individuals who disliked Kennedy believed he was the reason for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. They also believed that he would reduce the size of the military industrial complex and that he was not going after communism hard enough. The CIA was involved

The CIA played a large role in John F Kennedy’s death because of the CIA’s motive to kill him, the CIA coverups in the investigation following his death, and promising unfollowed leads that the investigators have ignored.

On November 22, 1963 United States President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas Texas. In September 1964 the Warren Commission, appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, presented an official report documenting the details of the assassination. This report concluded that Kennedy was killed by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald, and that Oswald acted alone. Ever since then there has been speculation concerning the validity of the Warren Commission. For over fifty years conspiracy theorists have been uncovering the “truth” behind Kennedy’s assassination. These theories, however, are largely unfounded, and supported by no hard evidence. In contrast, the meticulously detailed Warren Report, available in the National Archives, provides countless pieces of closely analyzed evidence, all corroborating the same, controversial claim. Regardless of popular American disbelief, the fact remains that Lee Harvey Oswald is alone responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy, as described by the Warren Commission.

For nearly five decades, historians have debated over whether or not the John F. Kennedy assassination was from a lone gunman or as part of a bigger conspiracy cover-up. On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot as he paraded through Dallas, Texas. That same afternoon, Dallas police had arrested their suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, an itinerant ex-U.S. marine and self-described Marxist-Leninist, previously lived in the Soviet Union prior to his move back to the United States. However, within days of his arrest, Oswald was dead. Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby on national television in the basement of a Dallas police station. Historians, through the years, have stated that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and for himself, while others have maintained that Kennedy was killed as part of a wider cover-up. The Warren Commission Report was established by Lyndon Johnson, Kennedy’s successor, to further investigate Kennedy’s assassination. After nearly a yearlong investigation, the commission, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded that alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating America’s 35th President, and that there was no conspiracy, either domestic or international, involved. Despite its seemingly firm conclusions, the report proved controversial and failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the event. Historians have held dramatically different views about the

A renowned writer named Matthew Smith writes in his book JFK: The Second Plot that Lee Harvey Oswald was serving in Marines when he was recruited as a CIA agent. A former CIA man, Wilcott claimed that Oswald had been recruited from the military for the express purpose of becoming a double agent assignment. Oswald was under very little freedom under the soviets and soviets were quite suspicious of him, so CIA decided to bring Oswald back home for good.

Oswald claimed that he was on the first (i.e. ground) floor of the TSBD during the shooting. The official investigators, however, claimed that he was on the sixth floor. There is some evidence for both locations:

No one could find out why Lee H. Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy. Based on some interview his families and friends went through, they all said that Lee praised President John F. Kennedy. Michael Paine, one of Lee’s friends, who took Lee to a meeting of the American Civil Liberties Union, says Oswald “thought President Kennedy was doing quite a good job in civil rights, which was high praise coming from Lee.“ A Warren Commissioners, Senator Richard Russell say “he was a general misanthropic fellow … he had a desire to get his name in history and all.” As I surf through the web, I realize there was no evidence that said that Lee wanted such thing. He even denied that he was part

Instead of looking at every single piece of evidence, conspiracy theorists choose only what they need to back up their false claims. Ironically, the people who claim that the Warren Commission distorted the autopsy reports, the Zapruder film, and other evidence are the same people who distort their evidence and twist the truth to make it fit to their own theories. But conspiracy theories are never going to cease to exist; they are obsessive fanaticisms. Furthermore, the assassination occurred 50 years ago and, still, not one word has been said or has been leaked that any mobs were involved or that the CIA was involved in Kennedy’s assassination. By now, if someone else helped Oswald, we would

There have been many papers, books, and articles written on Lee Harvey Oswald’s motives for killing President John F. Kennedy. No one knows for sure exactly what motivated him in this horrendous act, but there has been some speculation that a fatherless upbringing or his mental health led the way in making him the most famous assassin of the twentieth century.
