Causes Of JFK Assassination
I believe that the JFK assassination was lead by Lyndon Johnson. JFK was assassinated on a changed route by the government. JFK was “shot” by a man named Oswald. The event changed America forever. And what witnesses have seen from this event raised suspicions and conspiracy theories to this day.
Day of the assassination 50 total witnesses believed the shots came from behind them from the greasy noll. According to a man, two railroad workers and another person in uniform were at the greasy noll. These men were taking apart a gun after the shots were fired. The FBI offered money to the man to keep quiet about this.
Jack Ruby was the man who shot Oswald when he was transported to prison. Jack and Oswald were having drinks two weeks before the

    Here he comes! Heading passed the Texas Book Depository. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Our thirty-fifth president John F. Kennedy was shot, and died instantly. How many shooters were there? How many shots were there really? Who was this Lee Harvey Oswald? Why did Jack Ruby kill Oswald? These are the mysteries of JFK’s assassination. There are many conspiracies to his assassination, like the official Warren Commission report of 1964. I have a theory there were multiple shooters. There were many shooters, because of how many shots there were, and the autopsy photos of JFK and the bullet wounds in the governor. This will all tie into my conspiracy.…

    THE MOB FELT BETRAYED IN 1963. Chicago godfather Sam Giancana had helped Kennedy win the 1960 election through skulduggery, and Miami mobster Santos Trafficante had aided the CIA in its assassination attempts on Castro. But rather than pledging their loyalty, the Kennedys launched an all-out campaign against organized crime. Attorney General Robert Kennedy first went after Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa and then deported New Orleans syndicate boss Carlos Marcello to Guatemala. Pushed around long enough, and angry at the president for going soft on Castro -- who had shut down its lucrative Cuban casinos -- the mob made someone an offer he couldn't refuse. Oswald was either its hit man or its patsy. Upon his arrest, the mob dispatched Jack Ruby to silence him.…

    At 12:30pm, on the 22nd of November, 1963, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is shot once through the throat, before being mortally wounded by a second shot, this time to the head. At 12:35pm, the Presidents open limousine arrives at Parkland Memorial Hospital, approximately six kilometres from the site of the shooting (Dealey Plaza, Dallas Texas). At 1pm, President John F Kennedy is officially pronounced dead, and finally, at 1:20pm Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson is notified of JFK’s death. At 2:38pm, two hours and eight minutes after Kennedy’s assassination, Lyndon Baines Johnson is sworn in as the 36th president of the United States of America. Evidence gathered (and available to the public) concerning the assassination of President John F Kennedy overwhelmingly supports the theory of a lone gunman.…

    The first person who I think is responsible without a doubt is obviously Lee Harvey Oswald. But I don't believe Oswald fired all the shots, or the fatal shot to JFK's head. From watching the video, it pretty much made it obvious how almost impossible it would be for one man who is no way a world record shot by any means to fire a rifle three times in the amount of seconds Oswald did and be as accurate as he did. I believed he fired the shot that hit the ground and the shot that hit JFK in the back. I believe Oswald's main purpose was to be a scapegoat for the real assassin.…

    The Lone Gunman theory is the official explanation for the John F. Kennedy’s assassination, as arrived at by the Warren Commission after a review of the available evidence. The Warren Commission had stated this in the report of JFK’s assassination, “The bullets that killed Kennedy and injured Connally were fired by Oswald in three shots from a rifle pointed out of a sixth-floor window in the Texas School Book Depository.” According to this theory, JFK’s assassination involved a single gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. The two bullet fragments found in the front seat of the Presidential limousine were fired from the 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, which was found on the sixth floor of the Depository Building. Oswald had later on killed the police officer that had caught him and tried to question him which gave the public and government more of a reason to believe he was the assassinator of JFK.…

    On November 22, 1963, president John F. Kennedy was in Dallas, Texas for a speech at the Dealey Plaza. On his way there, in an open convertible, instead of going down Dallas’ Main St., which they planned to, they decided to go down Elm St. where there were more buildings and a better crowd view. On going down Elm St. now, there were three shots. Two of the shots hit the president, one in the neck and one in the head, and the third shot hit the governor. Ninety seconds after the shots, officers rushed into the Texas School Book Depository to find a man named Lee Harvey Oswald eating his lunch very calmly on the second floor and a sniper rifle on the sixth floor. Lee Harvey Oswald worked at the school book depository and was arrested and put…

    He was accused and found guilty of assassinating the 35th president of the United States. This former U.S. Marine was killed on November 24th, 1963. Just two days after he killed JFK, he was shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby on his way to the Dallas police forces headquarters. Back in 1956, 7 years before his death, he joined the U.S. Marines, he was a better-than-average marksman, yet he was court martialed twice in 1958 for having illegal weapons and displaying violent behavior (Biography). Later that year he terminated his military service and arranged a trip to Moscow. When he arrived there he informed Russian authorities that he wanted to move to the Soviet Union. After some debate by government operatives over Oswald's possible role as a spy he was allowed to stay in Minsk. During his short time there, he was closely monitored by the KGB. In 1981, Oswald wed Marina Pruskova. In 1962 he was dissatisfied by his life in the Soviet Union so he got his wife and newborn daughter and moved back to the U.S. This is where Oswald's life gets tricky and throws up red flags. His small family set up residence in Dallas, Texas. During this time, he was using his alias Alek J. Hidell and his communism, from when he lived in Russia, transformed into support for Cuba. In 1963, Oswald ordered a handgun in the mail, and later obtained a rifle. Hidell, a.k.a Lee Harvey Oswald, had his wife Marina take a photo of…

    The assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) was the “where were you?” event of the 1960’s. In November of 1963, JFK was shot riding in his limo in Texas. Because the shooting was in public view of both citizens and the media, there are varying accounts for what took place that day. A government investigation, referred to as the Warren Commission, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman of the assassination of Kennedy. In the 50 years since his murder, several other theories, related to the circumstances surrounding his death, have arisen. Because the government has been so assertive that Oswald was the single shooter, any inconsistency gives rise to alternative theories ranging from CIA involvement to a second assassin…

    Kennedy’s political opponents are believed to have received support from wealthy tycoons and the CIA agents in executing his assassination (Hald-Mortensen 75). Such is because the frustrated CIA agents believed they would have a smooth ride under his administration. Before his assassination, President Kennedy made comments that would later irritate the CIA agents. In his remarks, that he would reform the CIA is believed to have made the agents within the agency to conspire with Oswald to kill the President.
