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. However, even if there are a lot of evidences that support the existance of the second sniper, some people and Warren Commission believe that the assassination was done by only Lee Harvey Oswald. Due to the examination of the penetration of the bullet, and the condition of Kennedy’s head after the shot have a possibility of alone crime. To know the bullet’s power of penetration, the examination which is to shoot the two piled pine woods has done, and the result shows that the bullet has enough power to penetrate the human bodies. In addition to the penetration of the bullet, another examination which is to shoot the compound of gelatin and glycerin indicated the stableness of the bullet while the bullet is passing through the body, and the
To do something as big as assassinating a President, multiple people of high power would need to be involved. If JFK were the target of a lone, crazed gunman, I believe he would have been shot at a closer range. Whoever shot President John F. Kennedy was trained and had been preparing to commit this act of evil for a long period of time. On top of that, in order for the shooter to escape without being caught, even if he or she was located on the sixth floor of Texas School Book Depository building, they would have to have others there to help them escape without being seen. I don’t believe that conspiracy had anything to do with the death of JFK, I simply believe that a group of people who disagreed with the decisions of JFK became fed-up with him and the government which led to a terrible
President Kennedy’s assassination is one of America’s most fascinating and infamous conspiracies. Though we still do not know who is actually responsible, evidence points towards the communistic Cubans as being the killers of our nation’s young president. Even Lyndon B. Johnson, the President inaugurated after Kennedy’s death said, “I’ll tell you something about Kennedy’s murder that will rock you…Kennedy was trying to get Castro, but Castro got to him first.” President Kennedy’s mysterious assassination can be revealed through the political assassin Herminio Diaz Garcia, the German film Rendezvous with Death and the Cuban mobster Santo Trafficante’s allegations as these prove the Cubans were the ones responsible for the theft of President
Contrary to the Warren Commission’s findings, Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, did not kill President John F. Kennedy. There are several crucial areas of evidence, which prove Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill the president. Numerous eyewitness accounts show that the shots came from the direction of the grassy knoll (Jack Hill), and not from the Texas School Book Depositary. The number and timing of the bullets fired again prove that Oswald, acting alone, did not kill President Kennedy. Oswald also could not possibly have had the opportunity to shoot President Kennedy, and the rifle in question
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
People believe that there were many shooters in the assassination of JFK. Some say it was the CIA and others say it could have been his own driver. The CIA could have killed him because he knew too much and were telling people that he shouldn't have been telling. Some also believe that the CIA also killed Marilyn Monroe because JFK had relations with her and he had told her stuff that she should
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
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.
There are some who believe that there could have been a second gunman. Even more disturbing, there are those who believe the assassination was an inside job, specifically the CIA, because of the failed mission in Cuba or were simply acting under orders of the vice-president of the time, Lyndon B. Johnson. In addition to this, some even believe that Fidel Castro orchestrated the entire attack because of our involvement in Cuba. Another conspiracy theory is that because of Robert Kennedy's prosecution of organized crime rings, mobsters sought to take revenge by killing JFK, even if Oswald beat them to it first. These are just some of the many conspiracy theories dealing with John Kennedy that approximately 70% of Americans believe (time.com). Due to these facts, his death is one of the greatest enigmas of all
The next part of this paper will explore some of the conspiracy surrounding the assassination of JFK. There is a lot of conspiracy surrounding how Kennedy was killed. Questions like who killed him, where he was shot, what kind of bullet killed him, and where the bullet came
Many theories surround the mystery of JFK's assassination. Many believe that there was a magic bullet or that Oswald acted alone for the Soviet Union. Through gathered evidence, other conflicting theories involving the CIA, FBI, and or Johnson have developed. Questions have been raised like: How many bullets? How many shooters? What was the motive? Why did the route change? Why was the car cleaned out? And was there a connection between Oswald and Jack Ruby? The next presented evidence combines many aspects of the event in a way they could have went down.
If the best people from the Justice Department could not prove that there was in fact a conspiracy then there is no question that there was only one lone gunman. The Justice Department has experts in many fields to review and look over the case of Kennedy’s Assassination. The Government would not have lied about who killed their leader, after the so called “JFK Act” The Government would be required to release all classified documents and information about the case. After releasing the classified information to the public there was found that there was no further evidence proving that there was a conspiracy that
I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald played a big role in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I feel like there was a person higher up telling Oswald what to do thought. I think that Oswald is responsible for part of the killing of JFK because the evidence collect on the rifle points to Oswald. According to 48 hours to live, Lee asked for a ride a day early to work because he needed curtain rods at his house but the guy who picked him up, said it did not look curtain rod but more like a rifle. He had $13.87 in his pocket as long with a transfer bus ticket. (48 hours to live) All the evidence that was collect on Oswald points to him killing President Kennedy. The evidence in the JFK Movie about the Coup D’E Tat Theory tells me that there is too
The unrest of the 1960s reached a boiling point in 1968, a year that can be considered the most turbulent year in American history. The tumultuous events that took place in 1968 effectively transformed the face of the nation in every aspect; economically, socially, and politically. Failed military tactics, assassinations, and violent civil rights movements were the defining characteristics of 1968. Despite the few good things that came out of that year, much of 1968 was dedicated to rebuilding the country, tragedy after tragedy. The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, involvement in the Vietnam War, and escalating civil rights movements are a few of the quintessential events that contributed to
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.
