Lee Harvey Oswald’s Motives for killing President John F. Kennedy

As we all know, Oswald was the man who supposedly shot and killed JFK, the 35th president of the united states. But what if I told you that Oswald could have been in a larger conspiracy, and that is what we are going to talk about.

Oswald himself also had what appears to be curious ties to Cuba and Fidel Castro. In the months just prior to the President's assassination, Oswald was arrested in New Orleans for disturbing the peace while he was handing out pro-Castro leaflets. While in jail he was interviewed by the FBI as his own request.

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

Now I guess we will never know what exactly happened that day but there was to many things having to be done for it to be just oswald. and too many coincidences

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.

On September 11, 1959, he received discharge from active service, claiming his mother needed care, and was put on the reserves list. Just before he turned 20, in 1959 he traveled to the Soviet Union. He saved up $1500 of his Marine Salary so he could go to the Soviet Union. In March 1961, Oswald met Marina Prusakova, a 19-year-old pharmacology student. They both liked each other so they started to date each other. In less than a year they were married and had one kid. They settled in Fort Worth, Dallas. In July 1962, Oswald was hired by the Leslie Welding Company in Dallas. He did not like the work and quit after some time. On October 12, 1962 he started working for the graphic-arts firm of Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall as a photoprint trainee. He liked this job a lot more than he like the welding job. Oswald was fired about 5 and a half months later, on the first week of April 1963. In March 1963, Oswald used the name "A. Hidell" to make a mail purchase of a used Carcano rifle for $30.00. He also bought a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver by the mail. On April 10, 1963, Oswald attempted to kill retired Edwin Walker, a Major U.S. General that was anti-communist. He fired the Carcano rifle at Walker through a window from less than 30 meters away as Walker sat at a desk in his Dallas home. The bullet struck the window-frame and Walker's only injuries were bullet fragments to the forearm. Although he was never August 9, 1963, Lee

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

Two days after the JFK assassination, the official suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald, was shot dead by Jack Ruby, a Dallas strip club owner. Oswald’s famous remark that “I’m just a patsy” (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.20, p.366) inevitably led to suspicions that his murder was a convenient execution.

John F. Kennedy, the youngest elected and first catholic president was campaigning for a second term when he was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The accused shooter Lee Harvey Oswald, was first arrested for killing a police officer at point blank. It was shortly after the shooting when he was arrested with a gun in his possession at a nearby movie theater. He was then later accused of killing President Kennedy. The evidence presents that there could be alternatives to the official account that was made about the accuser. Conspiracies suggest Oswald acted alone, was framed, or worked with an organization to commit this crime.

After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, there were a lot of conspiracies regarding the mastermind behind the assassination. President Kennedy was assassinated due to him seeking a way out of the Cold war and starting negotiations with Soviet Union. Charlene Fitsimmons, a friend of JFK was told by an agent named Gary Underhill that he was killed by CIA and that Oswald was a CIA agent. He was helped and was set up by CIA to go for it. According to Gary, there were clear evidences of how they made their way through and he couldn’t believe that they got away with it but they did.

This investigation will answer the question: To what extent did Lee Harvey Oswald’s history predispose him to kill John F. Kennedy? To determine the extent to which childhood and previous jobs influenced Oswald to assassinate the President, the scope of the investigation will focus on Lee Harvey Oswald and his relationships with political groups. It will also examine Oswald’s youth and the actions of previous life events. Only secondary sources about the assassination will be used in this examination.

November 24, just two days after the assassination of the president, Oswald was being transferred out of the Dallas police station where he had been interrogated. Oswald was shot and killed on live television by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner with links to local organized crime bosses. Based on his curious recent history and political affiliations, Oswald was a believable assassin in the eyes of the American public, and his death at the hands of Ruby seemed to bring closure to the astonishing case (“Alternative”).

trigger. Oswald was just an easy mark to pin the crime on, he was set up, most likely by the CIA

Many conspiracy theories have tried to explain who was responsible for Kennedy’s murder and some have cited the involvement of the USSR, FBI, CIA and Cuba among others. The death of Kennedy remains a mystery despite numerous investigations which have since been carried. There have been no conclusive prove that Oswald murdered the president and even if he did, people still do not believe that he acted alone as reported by the Warren Commission.

Yes, because some people saw that Lee Harvey was seeing him on the sixth floor when John F. Kennedy was shot. The police evidence suggested that Lee Harvey Oswald was not part of the conspiracy, but assassinated the president was his own initiative. If they have evidence that shows there were more people that involved with President Kennedy’s assassination then why didn’t they go find the other two that was involved with it, it could have solved the whole entire case instead of having it a mystery for 50 years.
