John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the united states, was assassinated at 12:30 pm on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Despite the many imaginative conspiracy theories such as, the Mafia, FBI, or CIA being directly responsible for the assassination, the most plausible and logical explanation is that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK. This particular theory is most credible due to the evidence that implies his motives, means and other supporting evidence.…
On November 22, 1963, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. The 35th president of the United States of America was shot in Dallas, Texas while in a presidential motorcade.

Since November 23, 1963, the day after President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated, there have been speculations as to the happenings of November 22, 1963. Along with the Warren Commission, there are hundreds of conspiracies and theories attempting to explain the assassination of Kennedy. Many people agree with the Warren Commission in that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as the lone gunman, while others maintain that another gunman was involved. Because of extensive evidence, I believe that Oswald did not act alone on November 22, 1963 in the assassination of Kennedy. The additional gunman was strategically placed in the grassy knoll area, in order to shoot at Kennedy from a frontal view (Rubinstein 4).…
The mafia had a large part in the assassination. Two days after JFK was killed Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. He was killed while in police custody by Jack Ruby. He was sent by the mob to “silence” him. The FBI investigated and found no evidence connecting him to the mob other than a few calls. Ruby died of lung cancer on January 3, 1967 in a parkland memorial hospital and never admitted to any connections.…
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 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.…
Some theories that circle around are that the Soviet Union did it. Oswald was connected to the Soviet Union. He married a Russian, and had a child with her before he returned to the U.S. The Soviets and the U.S. were in a cold war at this time and the Soviet Union was embarrassed for having to back down during the Cuban Missile Crisis, so some say Khrushchev ordered Oswald to assassinate Kennedy. Oswald’s connection to the Soviet Union makes this a compelling case in the assassination of JFK. (…
November 22, 1963 was an unforgettable day in American history. On this day the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John F. Kennedy (JFK), was assassinated in Dallas, Texas while he rode in an open limousine with Texas Governor John Conally (Wicker, 1963).

Lee Harvey Oswald always showed a pattern of behavior during his short life which would have influenced a jury to conclude that he could have been responsible for the murder of the President of the United States.

Arguably, John F. Kennedy is said to be one of the greatest presidents to ever hold office in our country. Even more than fifty years after John F. Kennedy’s death, the public’s fascination with him withstands.

Harvey Lee Oswald did assassinate John F. Kennedy, but he was affiliated with the Soviet Union and was not just an independent gunman. Many Americans…
