    His brother Robert Kennedy, who served as Attorney General during the Kennedy administration broke down on organized crime. One theory declares that the Mob was ireful with attempts by Robert. The mafia had no real interest in John F. Kennedy. Maybe his brother Robert, but not the President.Alliance between the Soviet Union and US were extremely low at the time of Kennedy's death, with both sides not able to trust each other. One popular theory is that Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Premier, instructed the attack on Kennedy because he was abashed at having to give up following the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 gave very good reasons not to like Kennedy to the Soviet security agency KGB. A version of the theory also suggests…

The police thought that Lee Harvey Oswald, but many people speculate that he was part of a bigger conspiracy or that he wasn’t even the killer. The government released an investigation team called the Warren Commission. What leads a lot of these theories is that the Warren Commission ignored important information. On the day of the shooting, as the motorcade came down the street, three shots coming from the sixth floor at the Texas School Book Depository ( where Oswald worked) in less than 10 seconds.

    Plotting and executing a terrorist attack without commands from an organization represents a deadly tradition. In the nineteenth century, Mikhail Bakunin, the infamous Russian anarchist, described theconcept of "propaganda by deed" and advocated that solitary assassins should kill individuals who represented the corrupt social structure. Among other things, acting individually allowed anarchists to avoid being bogged down by the coercive power usually associated with large, hierarchal organizations. Although in the early 1900's lone wolf terrorism fell out of favor with many anarchists, terrorism by single perpetrators accelerated later in the century. Lone wolves killed 7% of United States terrorism victims during 1955-1978, a rate that increased…

    Kennedy was headed to the Trade Mart in Dallas on Friday, November 22, 1963. John and his wife, Jackie Kennedy, were riding in the back of an open top limo, flown in from Washington D.C., through the streets of Dallas. Texas governor, John Connally, was driving the limo and Connally’s wife was riding in the front seat of the limo. Once the limo passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, the limo slowed down as it reached an overpass. Suddenly, as the car was approaching the Texas School Book Depository on a nearby hill, a shot was fired out of the sixth story window. President Kennedy was shot at two times by a rifle. The first bullet hit the back of JFK’s neck, went through his neck, and out his throat. From there, the bullet went into Connally’s back, hand, and thigh. Connally later recovered. A second bullet was fired a few seconds later. It hit Kennedy in the back of his head. He died instantly. Both women were unharmed but the bullet. The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital, a nearby hospital. Governor Connally sustained three broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a broken wrist. The bullet was lodged in his left thigh.
