The Truth Behind JFK
It is human nature to try and find the unseen hand in a crime. When calamity struck on November 22, 1963, the country began to search for the unseen hand in the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The United States was completely taken under shock when news came to them that Kennedy had been shot in Dealey Plaza. 70% of Americans believe Kennedy was assassinated under some type of conspiracy. Few know the facts to what they believe, but most just believe, but most just believe as an escape route to the reality that a small man such as Lee Harvey Oswald can kill a man as big as John F. Kennedy. While people feel Lee Harvey was accompanied in the killing, the fact of the matter is that there is no evidence to prove Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a conspiracy.
Many people miss the biggest factor of why Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone and that factor is the man that Lee Harvey was prior to the assassination. Oswald was a high school dropout who longed for people to believe he was highly intellectual, even though the only person who believed he was truly gifted was himself (Swanson 61). Lee Harvey Oswald was the textbook definition of being narcissistic. Lee Harvey’s brother, Robert Oswald, believed if the United States would have been a communist country, Lee would have believed in democracy (Obenhaus “JFK: Beyond Conspiracy” video). Lee Harvey Oswald was not afraid to share his beliefs about communism (Swanson 54). LEe Harvey was an active member in Fair Play for Cuba Committee, a large group made to spread propaganda about pro-Cuban beliefs (58). Many people are unaware of the training Lee was equipped

... bone came from the parietal region of Kennedy’s skull (2). The main point of Riley’s argument was that the fragment consisted of grooving patterns that are not found in occipital region (2). Billy Harper was asked by researcher Millicent Cranor to mark on the map the location of where he found the fragment. When handed the map, Harper pointed to a spot to the left of Kennedy’s car, debunking this conspiracy completely (3).

Guidry 4
Conspiracy is a business that many people thrive on daily for their career. The number of theories associated with the John F. Kennedy assassination should show people that conspirators do not know the truth themselves. If there was one conspiracy that was proven a fact, there would be no need to continue making up others. The conspiracy theories of the assassination of John F. Kennedy do not show enough evidence to be considered fact.

    JFK Assassination: Conspiracy or Single Gunman? Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator of Germany during World War II, once said, "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it." Although this may sound ludicrous, we can see many examples of this in the world's history. One example would have to be the John Fitzgerald Kennedy assassination. For over thirty years, the people of the United States were led to believe that a single gunman shot and killed Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m.

    Made from contingencies and correlations, everything in history happens because of something else. Kennedy’s skepticism towards his advisors stems from the failures of the Bay of Pigs. The Bay of Pigs was a CIA operation in the early 1960’s. It involved Americans training Cuban exiles in Nicaragua before sending them to invade Cuba in the hopes of overthrowing Castro. Kennedy largely inherited the Bay of Pigs from the Eisenhower administration as “The decision to overthrow Castro’s regime had been taken by the Eisenhower administration in January 1960, and by March of that year the CIA had developed a program of action”.

    The theory of the Lone Gunman is also questionable, as the Warren Commission Report failed to provide substantial evidence to support its claim about Oswald’s motives to assassinate the president. Compared to others, the theory of LBJ being the man behind it all seems to be the most believable. Ruby’s questionable motives behind the killing of the convicted killer Oswald, preventing him from going to trial, suggested possible conspiracies behind the assassination. Eliminating both the Lone Gunman theory and the CIA as the potential killer of the president, LBJ is by far the most plausible candidate to assassinate JFK.

    Oliver Stone's JFK was a movie about the investigation by a district attorney, Jim Garrison, about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. JFK was one of the most controversial films of its time dealing with the decades-long debate about who actually killed President Kennedy. Was it done by the lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald and his magic bullet that pierced through the bodies of the two men creating seven wounds? Or was it the end result of a detailed scheme masterminded by the Mafia involving the U.S. government and military, the Cubans, and all other Kennedy-haters? Jim Garrison was determined to find out the truth of the assassination. He arrested and charged a man named Clay Shaw, who was a New Orleans businessman, because he, with the help of Lee Harvey Oswald and David Ferrie, was said to have conspired the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

  • The CIA And The Assassination Of John F. Kennedy

    The theory of the CIA killing Kennedy is the one theory that many people can’t debunk. Kennedy was fed up with what the CIA was pulling. He found out they were trying to kill Castro, and he didn’t like that. Some people believe that the CIA thought he was going to disband them, which would make him a target (Patterson). Another very hot topic around that time was Kennedy’s failure to support the men of the Bay of Pigs. The CIA was strongly against Kennedy because of these two incidences, which would have given them a motive for the assassination (“The CIA and the FJK Assassination”). There have also been confessions of CIA involvement. In 2007, E. Howard Hunt left behind a confession that he taped. He said that he knew of the plot but

Oswald told Marina about this incident right after he attempted to kill Walker. Oswald moved his family down to New Orleans right after this incident (Simkin 2). Again, Oswald being interested in Communism, he wrote for the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. Lee created many copies of pamphlets encouraging United States citizens to join the committee. One day while passing out these handouts, Lee Harvey Oswald fought a man named Carlos Bringuier. He was arrested for this crime and sent to jail with a fine. After leaving jail, a few days later Oswald talked on the Bill Stuckey Radio Show about his issue of Fidel Castro (Simkin 2). Oswald’s return to the United States was not for good reason, especially his actions in the near future.

  • Lee Harvey Oswald

    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).
