The Cia And The John F Kennedy Assassination

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

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.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most controversial and debated topics in American History. JFK was one of the most beloved presidents of our time. One article of his death wrote, "The day the country cried". Unlike previous presidential assassinations, the JFK assassination is one that is filled the conspiracy theories. Such theories include a Government cover-up, Mafia influence and Cuban President Fidel Castro. The idea of a lone mind, Lee Harvey Oswald, plotting to kill President Kennedy is too simple. 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. In this paper I will discuss

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.

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.

Another interesting conspiracy is that the mob was involved in the whole assassination. To be more specific it is widely thought to be Carlos Marcello who was the head of the Cuban mafia. It is said that the mafia was mad at John and Robert Kennedy for their effort to wipe out organized crime. It is said that a few CIA agents had taken part in the conspiracy. ("Whether It's CIA, Mafia, LBJ or Even Aliens, JFK Assassination Conspiracy Theories Never Die.")

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 Commission 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,

In 1976, the House Select Committee on Assassinations began to reinvestigate the events at the assassination of JFK. A report was published by the committee in 1979 stating that there was a probable conspiracy surrounding Kennedy’s death, contradicting the Warren Commission’s theory. However, the HSCA could not prove that someone other than Oswald may have assassinated the president. What the HSCA could do however, was to prove that there were flaws in the evidence that the Warren Commission used to formulate their theory about Oswald being the lone assassin of JFK.

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

Oswald killed him because a ten-month investigation from November 1963 to September 1964 concluded that Oswald shot Kennedy. He shot John Kennedy first in the neck, and then shot him at the head while also injuring John Connally. The HSCA (United States House Select Committee on Assassinations) agreed with the Warren Commission that the injuries

With this in mind, was there any possibility that the CIA assassinate JFK? At first, it might appear to be unrealistic that the CIA would kill their own President. In any case, due to Kennedy's inclination for discretion over military activity, the President and the CIA had an especially tense relationship. The strain started at an early stage in JFK's administration, with the lamentable Bay of Pigs attack. Some connivance scholars assumed that the CIA constrained Kennedy into endorsing the intrusion of Cuba. In spite of having little confidence in the arrangement, and being hesitant to bring about the anger of the Soviet Union, the President conceded to the stipulation that American-trained Cubans, and not US military, would be utilized. Trusting

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.

• In my opinion the CIA was involved in the assassination. They wanted to get revenge because of the fail invasion of The Bay of Pigs. • JFK also wanted to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds". • The purpose of the invasion was to overthrow Fidel Castro.
