In the eyes of scholars there is simply no way that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Even with the growing number of bogus theories, there are a number of logical theories that do hold water.

Now so why did jack ruby kill oswald it could be he was upset or he was in on it. I think he was in on it. Because he met up with oswald 2 weeks before the assassination. So I think they were discussing the assassination. So that made me start thinking was Jack e of the mobsters who shot kennedy. And maybe he was worried that oswald would spill ot the truth, so he shot him.

On November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK), was allegedly shot by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald somehow single handedly shot Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, using a Carcano Model 91/38 which is a cheap, military surplus rifle with a telescopic sight. Afterwards, Oswald killed the policeman who had questioned him. When Oswald was finally found and taken to the Dallas Police Station, a large crowd of angry citizens and news teams had amassed. A pugnacious man by the name of Jack Ruby fatally killed Oswald with a .38mm revolver, because of Ruby’s supposed rage over the assassination of the president. Ruby was charged with first-degree murder. Some reporters called Jack Ruby a hero. Moreover, Lee Harvey Oswald was convicted in the court

A brief history of the investigations of the JFK murder is required to be able to understand the timeline of events. On November 22, 1963 John F Kennedy was assassinated. Seven days later, Lyndon B Johnson authorized the Warren Commision to perform an investigation of JFK’s murder. After about a year of investigation, the commission determined that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president; however, this lead to many conspiracy theories about JFK’s death. One popular theory,

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

This investigation will answer the question: To what extent did Lee Harvey Oswald’s history predispose him to kill John F. Kennedy?

By signing National Security Act Memorandum (NSAM) #263 on October 11, 1963 President Kennedy ordered 1000 American soldiers home from Southeast Asia by the end of the year. The rest of the troops were to be out of Vietnam by the end of 1965 (Prouty 116). Fletcher Prouty, a retired Air Force Colonel, was in charge promoting military support for the camouflage activities of the CIA during the 1960's. In this book, Prouty explains the steps involved in planning the assassination. First the conspirators chose Dallas as the site for the murder and selected a skilled group of "mechanics". These mechanics are an elite group of sharpshooters that are trained and supported by the CIA. Next, the plotters made certain that routine security measures would be neglected. However, the biggest and most important element of the ensuing plot was the creation of the scapegoat. Cover Story experts had created an entire scenario setting Oswald up as this "patsy" long before the assassination actually was initiated (Prouty 136- 137) . Until President Kennedy was assassinated, he was always given adequate Secret Service protection during his routine appearances and political functions. It is significant that since the moment the President arrived at Love Field, standard security measures were either neglected or ignored.

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.
