Theories Of The JFK Conspiracy

Three shots. One national tragedy. On November 22nd, 1963, John F. Kennedy became the 4th president in our history to be assassinated. Kennedy was assassinated as he rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. This caused a national uproar and started a manhunt. Lee Harvey Oswald turned out to be the culprit and got sent to a prison where he would be immediately killed by Jack Ruby, a local nightclub owner in prison for murder. Many believe that Oswald was the one to gun down JFK, however many others have questioned what really happened on November 22nd, in downtown Dallas. This makes the JFK shooting one of the most interesting conspiracy theories to this day. Conspiracy (N.)- a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful. Many believe that Oswald could not have done this alone. Because of inconsistent witness testimonies, the single bullet theory and the CIA being involved, and lack of evidence make the JFK one of the controversial conspiracies to this day which in my opinion is true.
First, inconsistent witness testimonies raise a lot of questions. Multiple witnesses have each seen something different.

The mind in a situation like this becomes stressed and sometimes does not register everything that is going on. This may be the case for a few, but the rest of testimonies raise questions and make the reader wonder what really happened on November 22? Consistent and strong witness testimony by the people by the Grassy Knoll would help prove a conspiracy. For example. Emmett Hudson admitted to hearing shots above and behind him which goes along with the Grassy Knoll theory. However, as soon as the FBI asked him questions his story changed. Inconsistent and changing stories ask a lot of questions, why change your original story? Inconsistent witness testimonies proves that no one really knows what truly happen and points to a conspiracy.
Second, nothing has drawn more ridicule and sworn than the “single bullet” theory, which is called the “magic bullet” theory. The theory states that one bullet did damage to Kennedy and Connally; resulting in seven wounds. One bullet could not do so much damage. Theorists agree that this conspiracy is in fact impossible, however; this theory not being accurate helps support the claim that there were two shooters. Most theorists do not believe that Kennedy did act alone. Also, Kennedy supposedly encountered problems with the CIA. Kennedy was said to be dismantling the intelligence infrastructure which could be sufficient motivation for the CIA to do an assassination. The Bay of Pigs was a failure, and Kennedy was ashamed of it. This resulted in a lot of discord between him and the CIA. However, Kennedy was said to communicate frequently with the CIA and know what was going on at the time. The “Single Bullet theory” as well as the CIA question the JFK shooting.
Third, an overwhelming amount of evidence points to conspiracy.

David Perry composed of a list of all who admitted to being an accomplice in the shooting and sixty eight names are on that list. The confessors even admitted to what was their part in the shooting, for example; Ricky Don White and Geneva White became implicated by Roscoe White and their role apparently was being a shooter. Way too many shootings, sightings, reports, and accusation qualify as a conspiracy evidence. For example, a 30.06 shell casing was found by a maintenance man on the roof of the Communications Building. Even though there are many attention seekers in today’s world that have stories that don’t add up, but there is also people with evidence that asks questions and that is what makes the JFK shooting one of the biggest conspiracy theories to this

day.
In my opinion, with all the conspiracy theories and information I read about the JFK shooting, I do not believe that the JFK shooting is in fact a conspiracy. Understandably everybody will have different stories of what happened that day but the majority see JFK and Connally being shot with three bullets shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. There is too much inconsistency with witnesses and that makes me not be able to believe in this conspiracy theory.
So as you can see, the JFK shooting causes controversy and asks questions. Inconsistent witness testimonies, the “Single Bullet” theory, CIA, and overwhelming evidence question the reader’s detail to little facts. The shooting has multiple stories, and witnesses, a formula for a controversial conspiracy theory. Crazy how three shots from forty years ago is still talked about and discussed to this day. Conspiracy theories, got to love them.
