The JFK assassination took place on November 23, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. There are many conspiracy theories about this event. People say that it was the KGB, the CIA, or even that Lyndon B. Johnson was behind it. The KGB would not have because it was the height of the Cold War and could have started a nuclear war. The CIA are trusted and supposed to protect us and would have known about this would think and LBJ was just easy to blame because he was the vice president. However it was in fact Lee Harvey Oswald that carried this out himself and there is evidence that backs this.
The Soviet KGB would not have even wanted to attempt the assassination of Kennedy. The KGB was the Soviet Union’s primary security agency from 1954 until its collapse in

Kennedy the thirty-fifth president of the United States of America. Oswald had a job in the Texas school book depository building in Dallas, he had a clear view from the sixth story of the motorcade Kennedy was riding in. Oswald also had the military training from the Marine Corps and could have easily taken those three shots at a moving target and get a headshot in eight and a half seconds. In the military you are taught how to shoot fast and accurately under a lot of pressure and stress. The KGB would not have wanted to do this because it was at the height of the Cold War and would have started a nuclear war and neither the Soviet Union of the United States wanted this to happen. The CIA would not have done it either because they are a trusted institution in our government and are supposed to protect our nation and its people. They would have known if anyone else was involved like the KGB or any other secret or foreign agency. Lyndon B. Johnson would not have wanted to do this at all either. He was just really easy to blame because he was next in line for the presidency because he was the vice president. This is the proof that proves that it was Lee Harvey Oswald himself that carried this assassination that changed history forever out on his
There are tons of conspiracies of the JFK assassination we need to find out what really happened. Who really killed him and had something to do with it we don't know many people could have had something to do with the assassination and setting it up either Oswald killed Kennedy, with or without associate's, or he was set up in advance to take the blame. Was it the umbrella man, was it the mob, was it the government, or was it Lee Harvey Oswald himself? We don’t know, there are so many theories about what really happened.
Kennedy. Oswald's real only clear motive for killing Kennedy was that his beliefs did not fit the
There is a plethora of conspiracy theories regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. They range from the incumbent of the former Soviet Union to organized crime.
Also, the remains of Kennedy were disturbed on multiple occasions. When his body was being transported from the hospital to the autopsy place, something was off. During the autopsy, they found that his brain was missing. I think the CIA and Oswald did something we don’t know about. Very suspicious, isn’t it? The
John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, the event created suspicion and fear across the country. JFK was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963 and the event led to many suspicious conspiracy theories. Many people were investigated and went to trial, but none of which had prominent evidence against them. It is possible that Oswald was working with or for someone, but there is no evidence to prove so. Lee Harvey Oswald had felt an indifference towards the economic and governmental ideals of the US.
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 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 truly was responsible for his death. 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.
Lastly, even though JFK's death was tragic the puzzle left behind, it is one filled with twists and turns. The 1st theory shows how the assassination could have been revenge for Fidel Castro. The 2nd theory gives evidence that could suggest that Oswald could have been part of a much larger conspiracy. The assassination of John F. Kennedy was a tragedy that set the nation in a period of grief and shocked the world. These are just two theories how many could there be? Maybe the world will never know the truth about this
For my final essay, I have decided to write about the assassination of John F. Kennedy because I find this event one of the most engaging events in U.S. History. There are multiple conspiracies about the assassination of JFK. One of the conspiracies say that the CIA played a role in his death. After three years of his presidency, he was assassinated before he could even reach his 1000th day as president of the United States.
Who killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America? We, the people, may never know the actual truth, but I am here to tell you what I believe happened on November 22nd, 1963. Many people believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted solely in the assassination of JFK, but I have to believe that there were more people than him involved into the assassination plan and it is much more deeply planned than a solo mission. Although I can’t pinpoint exactly who else was involved, there are quite a few things to support my belief that this assassination was not carried out single handedly such as the umbrella man, the “Grassy Knoll”, the Mob, Castro’s planned revenge,and the CIA. These theories make me believe in general that Oswald did not act alone, and it may be much deeper than any United States citizen had expected.
The shot seen across the country. The assassination of JFK still stands today as one of the most shocking events in American history. Its had a larger impact because of the fact that it was on national television and because of its graphic nature. Since we will never know the true motive of Lee Harvey Oswald, the only thing that we could do is make our own assumptions. That is what we’ve done, which have only made things more difficult for us to grasp and have created more conspiracy theories. I will get into the immediate effects that his actions caused such as the Warren Commission and what the report said and did. Mystery still surrounds this whole event because he was killed before he could even go on trial for his murders. That’s also what ties in Jack Ruby to a conspiracy because killing Oswald, made it look like he was trying to hide something. This event has a lot of moving parts, especially with all of the different conspiracy theories. I wasn’t all that familiar with the details of the assassination, but after gathering all of the information and reading about all the conspiracy theories, they all seem to be real possibilities. All of the theories do seem a little far-fetched, but they all have some good evidence to support it. All I can say is that learning about this assassination has certainly made me think. I will explain who John F. Kennedy was, what he stood for, and what he accomplished during his presidency. Also about Lee Harvey Oswald and what could have
The KGB (Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, translating to Committee for State Security) recruited Oswald to kill JFK and made an in depth dossier on the assassination as a way to deflect any blame. Russia’s connection with Oswald was well known; in particular, his recruitment and close surveillance by the KGB is well documented. The KGB knew about Oswald’s irregular personality and pro-communist mentality; they also knew about how he revealed his intentions to give the Soviets sensitive intel (Epstein). He had access to classified information regarding flight patterns, radars, and a height-finding radar that would be of interest to the KGB because it would help with locating U-2 spy flights. It’s likely that Oswald revealed information
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

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.
