...on behind the assasination of JFK. He had all the conncetions and it just makes sense a lot of sense. People all across the United States belive different theories. Even though the majority of the people belive the C.I.A. was behind JFK's murder. I belevive it was Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, then once JFK was assasinated he became the 36th President of the United States. He had wanted to be the president ever since he was a young child. So why wouldn't he take the opputnity to kill the president, so that he could become president. Many people asked why didn't he just wait for John F. Kennedy's presidency to end. Well because many people doubted he would even get elected because he was from the south and no president was ever elected from the south ever. So he took the oppurtunity while it was handed to him. And he killed the president of the United States.

    In conclusion, Oswald being the lone assassin and the CIA’s involvement are two theories surrounding the mystery behind JFK’s assassination. Oswald has reasonable evidence linking him to the assassination. On the other hand, the CIA had enough motivation to be the cause of the murder. These two theories are both reasonable theories and have evidence backing them up. Though JFK was assassinated, he still lives on within the heart of the U.S., and he lives in spirit of U.S. politics. The mystery behind JFK’s assassination will still be a case

I do think that the government agencies were in on this and that the two evidence texts were plotted to cause a feeling of not being positive about who killed JFK. But I also do think that the two pieces of evidence serve as a distraction. To confuse the evidence with the evidence.

    The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States marked a tragic historical moment in American history. The president was fatally shot by a sniper while traveling with his wife, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally’s wife in a presidential motorcade at 12.30 pm on Friday, November 22, 1963. JFK was pronounced dead shortly after rushing to Parkland Hospital, where a tracheostomy and other efforts failed to keep him alive. Although Lee Harvey Oswald, a former United States Marine was convicted of the crime, the purpose behind the assassination remained inclusive as Oswald’s case never came to trial as he got shot to death two days later by Jack Ruby, a local nightclub operator in Texas. The assassination raised many questions and theories concerning the murder. As Oswald’s motives remain unknown, many scholars and investigators yearned to find the key to this mysterious crime, and came up with plausible theories searching for motives behind the assassination. While some straightforwardly blamed Oswald for the murder, claiming Oswald’s personal motives as the cause and supported the theory of the Lone Gunman, many developed more critical theories concerning conspiracies connecting the involvement of Cuba, Russia, the Central Intelligence Agency and the 36th President of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson. The Warren Commission was established by President Johnson to exclusively investigate the assassination. The Commission published a detailed report and concluded that Oswald acted alone. The deficiency of the Warren Commission’s evidence to support its theory along with the cordial relationship between JFK and the CIA refute both the Lone Gunman theory and conspiracies involving the CIA in...

    John F. Kennedy was actually born as Jack F. Kennedy. JFK was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. That 's basically the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. JFK had 9 brothers & sisters. JFK`s family wasn 't that close of a family but none the less JFK himself was a family man. But being President is a busy job so he probably didn 't get that much time with them anyway (History.com. A&E Television Networks,n.d. Web). JFK was indeed born to one of America’s wealthiest families. JFK first attended Princeton University but, after just one year he transferred to Harvard University where he graduated in 1940. Besides being a President JFK was also the lieutenant of his navy crew during WWII (John F Kennedy. N.p., n.d.). He also served three terms in the House Of Representatives. In 1952 JFK was elected to the U.S.senate. Then later in 1960 JFK was nominated by the Democratic Party to run for president against Vice president Richard Nixon ("John F. Kennedy Elected President."

    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).
