Conspiracies about the JFK Assassination
Who killed JFK? There are still many conspiracies about the JFK Assassination, but the two conspiracies that stand out are that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) and the CIA.
LHO was an American born on October 18th 1939 in New Orleans. Most Americans believe Oswald is the person behind the assassination of JFK. He believed in communism, he was a disturbed person and he had a violent mindset. There have been many arguments about who was actually behind the assassination. The
Warren Report clearly states Oswald fired three shots, but the HSCA states a total of
4 shots were fired. This is why some Americans think that the CIA was also involved in the plot for the assassination of Kennedy. The CIA were not happy with JFKs attitude towards Cuba due to the fact the CIA wanted to tensions between The
Soviet Union and Cuba, and they also disliked how JFK was attempting to withdraw from Vietnam.

The first and probably, the main motive for LHO assassinating JFK is that Oswald was a proud communist. JFK was an anti-communist and was confident to stop the expansion of the ‘communist world’. It is known that while Oswald was in the Civil Air
Patrol, his instructor lectured him about pro-communism, and he was talked into communism. He had started to learn to speak Russian. There were tensions between USA and The Soviet Union therefore Oswald secretly started to plan to travel to the Soviet Union after he was discharged from the CIA. On October 1959,
Oswald travelled to the Soviet Union. Upon arrival, he was introduced to his tour guide where he told her his desire to become a Soviet Union Citizen, and he also admitted to her that he’s a communist. He left the Soviet Union for USA after settling down there for approximately 2 years. Oswald started to help Anti-Castro people by offering them techniques and ways to protect their selves, yet he was handing out
Pro-Castro pamphlets to the public. This is most probably due to the fact of “getting to know your enemy

    The Single Bullet Theory was created by Warren Commission. The theory is crucial in supporting the claim that Oswald killed Kennedy alone. Three bullets were only shot: the one missed, the one that struck Kennedy’s head, and the single bullet. The time between the bullets would not allow for a fourth bullet to be shot. Unless there was another accomplice.…

    Through ballistics research and forensics experts who studied JFK’s body and other experts at the crime scene conclude that, “nearly the whole bullet found on Governer Conally’s stretcher at Parkland memorial and the two bullet fragments found in the front seat of the presedential limousine were fired from the 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher Carcano found on the sixth floor of the depository building”. This was stated from the Warren Report, a report on the conclusion of all the findings of the crime. This evidence supports the fact that Lee Harvey had shot JFK because he owned and was in possession of a 6.50millimeter Carcano rifle. This is evident through the documentation of a mail order for the same rifle used for the assassination, advertised in an issue of American Rifleman. His prints were also found on the rifle, reinforcing he was in possession of it. More supporting evidence was the finding of the rifle partially hidden in a brown bag, in the same room Oswald was in at the time of the assassination. All this evidence clearly shows Lee owned and was in possession of the murder weapon.…

    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 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.…

    Doubts have been raised as to the authenticity of the Warren Commission’s report on the president’s autopsy ever since the Clark Panel determined that the fatal bullet had hit Kennedy 10-cm higher than reported in the records (history-matters). One of the main reasons why Kennedy’s assassination has spawned such a huge number of conspiracy theories is that the exact nature, size, and position of Kennedy’s wounds are unclear. First, there is an apparent lack of original autopsy records. It is abnormal that there remain only three groups of primary autopsy data regarding the death of the nation’s highest authority (history-matters), and that the American government handed all autopsy evidences of Kennedy to his family when they could and should have been used for further investigation (jsy2125). Second, the pathologists who had conducted Kennedy’s autopsy gave inconsistent answers each time they were questioned, some of which directly contradicted the others (22november1963). The claim made by Humes, a former physician from Bethesda Naval Hospital, in 1998 “that he had destroyed both his notes taken at the autopsy and the first draft of the autopsy report… in testimony that differs from what he told the Warren Commission” supports both points (history-matters). Third, the doctors from Parkland Memorial Hospital had neither gone through the process of sketching Kennedy’s body before conducting operations (jsy2125), nor had they left any photographs or X-rays. Only the drawings by H. A. Rydberg, which do not accord with what is shown in the Zapruder film, exist. Humes later pointed out that Rydberg “had no photographs from which to work and had to work under our description, verbal description of what we had observed (history-matters).” The conspiracy theories would not be as rampant as they are now if…

    There were many eyewitnesses that saw Oswald kill Kennedy. There were sightings of Oswald in all the right places to prove he was the assassin. According to the website jfk library.com, the FBI proved that it was Oswald who killed Kennedy because he used the same gun and bullets that went with the gun that shot Kennedy providing undeniable evidence. The motive was that Oswald liked Kennedy, but maybe he was too big of a fan. He followed Kennedy’s actions too closely. Oswald was weird, as well as an outsider and a loner, which makes me believe that he might have been stalking Kennedy. Because there are eyewitnesses, evidence, and motive, I still believe that Oswald was the lone assassin who killed President…

    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…

    Jfk Magic Bullet Theory

    • 732 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This theory is hard to believe. It was introduced and provided by Warren Commission.It explains how one bullet travels through both JFK and at the time Texas governor John Connally.The theory states that in this shooting the bullet went down into Kennedy’s back,then it exited through his throat, and afterward the bullet flew into Connally’s right armpit leaving and shattering his rib.After the bullet shatters his rib it travels and stops to the thigh. This whole theory is impossible in so many ways. To start off the footage of the assassination reveals the magic bullet theory as untrue. According to www.mcadams.posc.mu.edu Connally appeared to be unhurt in Zapruder frame 230, but John F.Kennedy was reacting to being hit at that point, so the claim that both men were hit by the same bullet at the time is illogical, if the bullet did go through both me when could it have happened, not to mention that Kennedy would have to be hit at the same time, and again. Also, the so-called bullet is pristine, meaning that the bullet is unscathed or undamaged. How could a bullet go through all this yet look like new?…
