Theories Of JFK Assassination
There are so many theories on the JFK assassination but the ones that are the most common and the most logical are that the CIA set up Lee Harvey Oswald, the Mob set him up, or that he work as an independent. There are only solid and reasonable and facts behind those three hypothesis. Those are only the three major ones but there have been many different conspiracies and after public opinion polls consistently show that the people believe there was a conspiracy of some sort and they have a great reason to. Even though there are so many different conspiracies that researchers believe that up to 42 groups, 84 assassinators, and 214 people were viewed as possibilities in the assassination of Kennedy. Even strong beliefs that Oswald wasn't …show more content…
In many different theories there are many different groups and people but in many of them there is a recurring that shows up, the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA). The CIA is a very transparent group that nobody but themselves will understand. The CIA in the 1960's had a reputation for being in theories of high profile political assassinations. The president claimed to tamper the CIA so they called upon Oswald who may or may not have been an agent after letters stating that he could been but there was no good proof.

The Warren commission is where it all falls into place. The single document that was released a year after the president’s death that told the whole story, all the facts, all of the conspiracies. and all of the possibilities. This was where later facts were pieced together to create more conspiracies. The harder we look into it and the more we figure things out the more complicated things get. It stated many other things like other gunman that could have been on site and even fired. The commission is the only piece that covers everything in the assassination and even if it covers all the knowns we can't be quite sure if it covers even half of the unknowns in the whole mystery of Lee Harvey Oswald, Vice President Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, the mafia, and the president John Fitzgerald

The CIA will never uncover the truth if even they know truly what happened and the later on in life we get the more we struggle to figure out because we can't figure out the missing pieces due to the fact that we can't go back and figure out if there were other shooters on the lawn. One thing we uncover though is that all three of these and even some of the other ones have cold hard facts that can back them up but are just missing that one piece that shows that it is the right one due to groups that were involved that always kept the secrets locked up.

    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.…

    JFK LONE GUNMAN

    It is a well-known fact that President John F Kennedy was shot dead, assassinated in Dealey Plaza on the 22nd of November, 1963. What is still debated today however, is who killed Kennedy, and how many people were involved. One of the main contributing factors to this debate is the amount of potential forensic evidence destroyed, the question of how reliable some of the evidence is (, mainly eye-witness accounts), and the evidence that is yet to be released to the public (, why is it locked up, what light can it shed on the event?). Due to many problems surrounding the very evidence that historians, politicians and common people alike draw their opinions from, there can be no definitive conclusion as to whether JFK was killed by a lone gunman, or even who is ultimately responsible for his death. The evidence recovered on the assassination of JFK largely supports the theory of a lone gunman, the identity of this gunman however, is still hotly debated, but a significant portion of all evidence released to the public points to the lone gunman theory. The way this evidence supports the lone gunman theory is varied. Several eye witnesses claim…

    There are many conspiracy theories and there are two main one that are most familiar. The first one is the grassy knoll and second the magic bullet theory. The grassy knoll is by railroad tracks. Two FBI agents saw smoke and heard the shot that came from the left. The rail road workers heard two shots from those two shots they said they saw a puff of smoke. Some people lounging at the grassy knoll also said they saw it from the grassy knoll area (Stewart 158).The warren commission ignored Holland's testimony and never addressed the fact that five rail road workers saw claimed to have seen the smoke even with the two FBI agents. Also the two FBI agents claimed to have not fired the gun at any time on the grassy knoll (Stewart 159).The reason from the first shot that supposedly came from Oswald the second one had to of come from the back because the presidents head shot back…

    I believe that our own government was the people responsible for the assassination of JFK. I know it is a very farfetched idea but in my opinion, based on the facts I learned, it seems to make the most sense to me. JFK was definitely not the best president. He was a womanizer and made some very bad decisions during his presidency. I think the government was worried that JFK would do something very bad that would make the citizens not only mad him, but at the government as well. Worried about this reason, I believe the government decided to determinate the problem before it…

    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.…

    We all know and it is sad to say that John F Kennedy, America’s 36th president, was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. It was so sudden and people didn't know how this could happen. As a result of this, many theories about the infamous assassination of John F. Kennedy have come about throughout the years.Whether he was killed by two people, one person, or even the government. There is so much speculation on this topic. I myself agree with one of the theories. The theory is that the CIA did it. In my opinion, the theory that I have chosen gives great evidence as to why it is true. To further explain this theory as truth I will give a description of other theories that in my opinion does not make sense. This will give the…

    It is bizarre conspiracy but one that provides some interesting statements. The president earlier said that he wanted to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds” (Bond). This statement alone made by JFK could have made CIA agents furious with Kennedy and have the motive to kill him. There might have been CIA agents undercover at the parade in Dallas where the president was. Some theories said that Oswald worked for CIA and did not do it all by himself.…

    I started my researching who killed JFK and looking at an overall list of what the conspiracy theories where, then took the most widely regarded ones and dug a little deeper into them, looking into some of the reasoning behind their stances. After my research, I came to he conclusion the mafia were behind the assassination because that seemed like the most put together theory. It seemed likely that through his previous connection with the mafia, their influence in his election, their ties to dealings in Cuba before the Bay of Pigs, and the fact Robert wouldn’t let up on organize crime could all lead to something like an assassination. I believe I regarded this information critically, establishing my opinion on who killed JFK, but also having the reason to doubt that it is not a known fact who killed Kennedy and other theories may also have compelling evidence that I have to be open to hearing. Notably, I had never heard the theory that Kennedy arranged is own death before, but listening to Amanda talk about it in class you could sort of make understand and it made…

    A conspiracy theory is an explanatory proposition that accuses a person, group, or organization of having caused or covered up an event or phenomenon of great social, political, or economic impact. For example, the event of the Watergate scandal is a proven conspiracy theory that Richard Nixon and his aides were behind the cause and cover-up of the Watergate break-in. A conspiracy that has been in debate since 1963 is the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States. The conspiracy has left one of the most devastating deaths at question and still haunts Americans today.…
