John F. Kennedy 's Assassination

There are various theories as to how our 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd of 1963. Some say that there were various people involved, while others simply believe that what the government released is true. This paper will investigate the numerous theories, opinions, and official documentation on the assassination of our 35th President, John F. Kennedy.

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in his limousine while traveling through downtown Dallas, Texas. Immediately after the president’s death was announced, people wondered who killed their beloved president. Days after the Warren Commission was released to the public, conspiracy theories were formed of what really happened: the “Umbrella Man” did it, Lee Harvey Oswald was aiming for John Connally but miss and killed JFK by accident, and some ridiculous theories such as the Mafia killed the president. Despite the various conspiracy theories formed, logical or absurd, research proves the CIA is held responsible for assassinating President John F. Kennedy. There were many reasons how and why the Central Intelligence Agency murdered the president. An article written by Joe Lanier claims the CIA “wanted JFK dead because he had threatened to get rid of their corrupt Nazi clandestine organization and shred it into a thousand pieces” (Who Killed John F. Kennedy?). Lyndon B. Johnson was working with the CIA and hired Cord Meyer, CIA Assassin Master to put together the death squad to murder JFK. Cord Meyer and the president did not get

The 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination was commemorated on November 22, 2013. President Lyndon B. Johnson created the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The final report presented by the commission claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president. (Wikipedia, 2013). This report has proven to be highly controversial among citizens. There have been many theories as to who killed Kennedy, why they did it, and from what location. There are some theories that are more prominent than others such as: The CIA, The Mafia, The anti-Castro Cubans, a man from the Secret Service, and Lee Harvey Oswald. There are other theories believing that Lyndon B. Johnson and UFO specialists may have been involved. Each one of these theories will be explored throughout this paper.

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.

I think that this paragraph sums up the entire spirit of those who continue to research, write about, and study the John F. Kennedy assassination; it has come to phenomenal proportion over the last 36 years with over 2,000 books written on the subject and one Hollywood movie. The theories range from the bizarre such as retaliation from the aliens, to Elvis, to the official conclusion of the Warren Commission that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. The most common of the conspiracy theories include, Castro, communist, mob, CIA, the North Vietnamese and others. Before we can even start to draw a conclusion on to who was behind the John F. Kennedy assassination we must first

On the 20th of January 1961, the United States of America elected their 35th President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. However, two years later, he was assassinated. The assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested 70 minutes after the assassination. There have been numerous debates over the last 55 years regarding this incident. Many people claim there is a conspiracy behind the case, allowing various conspiracy theories to emerge over the years. One specific theory is about how the mafia was involved with JFK’s assassination.

The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy is one of the most tragic events that shaped America. JFK was born on May 19, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, but little did he know that his life would be abbreviated in his future. Kennedy became the thirty-fifth President of the United States; he was assassinated on November 22, 1963. He was allegedly shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. Although, many pieces of evidence conclude that Oswald could not have done the deed by himself. There is a broad conspiracy behind this major assassination. The conspiracy consists of the “single bullet theory” introduced by former United States Senator Arlen Specter; it also implicates future presidents of the United States, including George H. W. Bush,

The 35th president John F. kennedy was shot in texas at 12:30 pm and later was pronouced dead in the hospital. JFK was rushed to parkland hospital where he was pronounced dead at 1:00 pm. The accused assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald. He was a former marine who was said to be responsible for the assasination of JFK. Lee harvey oswald fired three shots from the texas book depository wounding the govenor of texas, a bystander, and the president of united states. There have been “42 groups, 82 assassins, and 214 people by name of being involved in the assassination”. The Outcome of the JFK assassination does not satisfy People who lived during the assassination and others born after. The reasons for people not supporting the idea that lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK is because there are many other theories that could be true. The zapruder film, and the accounts of bystanders show that most of the public is not happy with the outcome of the assasination of JFK. With the many conspiracies that have been floating around for years conspiracy theorist still continue to grow.

One of the main suspects in the whole Kennedy assassination was Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald shot three times at the President. The shots that killed him were the second and third shot. The Warren Commission did not think that Oswald acted alone(Sheila 39).Forty-five year old Howard Brenan saw Oswald at the window with a gun and saw him fire. Conspirators ask why did he not stop him? Did he just say that for attention(Shelia 90). Oswald was a threat to the soviets since he knew secret information and their plans. He wrote manly friendly letters to Communist organization(Stewart100). The Warren Commission laid out the case against Oswald but the Nation was not convinced or happy(Sheila 37).After Oswald was interrogated for more than seventy police

A popular misconception is that President John F. Kennedy's assassination was an isolated event perpetrated by one man. This could not be farther from the truth. Instead, it was the result of a complex combination of domestic and foreign events. When President Kennedy was in office, he had to deal with many issues, ranging from business and finance to crime-fighting and war issues. Perhaps it is not as important to decide who it was that killed him, but why.

It’s 12:30 pm and a huge, cheering crowd gathers around for the presidential motorcade. Three shots are fired, and an hour later the country’s beloved president is pronounced dead on national television. There have been many theories conspiring the president’s death. Was it a lone gunman or was it multiple? Where did the shots come from? Who did it? There is only one answer to the puzzle. Lee Harvey Oswald is the one responsible for John F Kennedy’s tragic death. The assassination of JFK by Oswald is proven by the physical evidence, the forensic evidence, and Oswald’s activity before and after the assassination.

The incident of JFK assassination is one of the biggest events in the United States of America, and so many of myths and theories are discussed and examined by tons of people who are professional and amateur in any kinds of fields. Even if the Warren Commission adjudicated the JFK assassination was done by only Lee Harvey Oswald, there are significant amount of eyewitnesses that we cannot just ignore are testified and mentioned something about the second sniper which make the people believe that the theory of Gracy Knoll is very logical and beliebable. Still now, almost all people who are interested in the JFK assassination think and assume that there was a second sniper, and the second sniper shot President Kennedy’s head and killed.

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

It was said that three bullets were fired that day, the first one going unnoticed, the second passing through the back of kenney’s upper chest and making its way into Connally’s back right shoulder (The Other Victims of the JFK Assassination). The final and fatal bullet’s path was straight through the right side of President John F. Kennedy’s head, instantly killing him. Kennedy’s skull was shattered, the right side of his head was missing, some recall having bits of the president’s brain and skull fragments on them. The First Lady turned in her seat, reaching out to the rear of the convertible to grab what was part of her husband’s head. After the third bullet was fired and Kennedy was struck, the driver of the Lincoln convertible sped down Elm street as a secret service agent struggled to climb in. President Kennedy and Governor Connally were rushed to the nearest hospital where they were examined and operated on. Sadly President Kennedy was pronounced dead upon arriving, luckily for Connally his life was

On November 22, 1963 national tragedy struck America after the catastrophic death of the thirty-fifth president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Kennedy arrived in Dallas with his wife, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, by his side and rode in a convertible limousine behind John and Nellie Connolly through Dealy Plaza. When the motorcade took way through downtown Dallas, shots were fired at president Kennedy soon killing him. The assassination of president John F. Kennedy made questions surface about his death, and when those questions were left unanswered, distrust of the government in the 1960’s formed; in return led conspiracies to thrive.
