Did the CIA kill JFK? A Conspiracy Theory

The CIA was established to protect the United States from any threats to our national security, but have they taken their authority too far? They have the authority to protect the U.S. to any extreme they believe necessary, but their definition of “national security” may not be to the same extent as it was originally (www.fff.org). There are many conspiracies about the CIA and their involvement with Coup D’états around the world and connections with the mafia. However, what motive could the CIA have against killing the President of the United States during a visit to Dallas? The CIA actually had more motive than Lee Harvey Oswald did. When later arrested, Oswald denied his involvement in the murder

Kennedy investigation. The Warren Commission established but a week after the shooting. The Commission involved seven men, including none other than Allen Dulles (www.rutherford.com). The Warren Commission hid information from the public about who was responsible for the assassination. The “debriefing” files for Clay Shaw were not stored in the Domestic Contact files as if they should have if it was just a debriefing, but stored in the Operations Division, proving that they had something they needed to hide in those files (www.rutherford.com). The debriefing was possibly a cover so that they could discuss the matter with Shaw, and find an acceptable story and alibi for him. The Commission also ignored the witnesses that, “were convinced that at least one shot came form the ‘grassy knoll’,” and cannot explain, “who the men on the grassy knoll who identified themselves as Secret Service Agents after shooting.”(www.fff.org) They were quick to jump to the conclusion that there was only one shooter and there was no possibility that there was one on the grassy knoll …show more content…
Howard, "Are you with us?"
E. Howard asks Sturgis what he 's talking about.
Sturgis says, "Killing JFK."
E. Howard, "incredulous," says to Sturgis, "You seem to have everything you need. Why do you need me?" In the handwritten narrative, Sturgis ' response is unclear, though what E. Howard says to Sturgis next isn 't: He says he won 't "get involved in anything involving Bill Harvey, who is an alcoholic psycho."
After that, the meeting ends. E. Howard goes back to his "normal" life and "like the rest of the country . . . is stunned by JFK 's death and realizes how lucky he is not to have had a direct role.”(www.rollingstone.com)
This news stunned his family as well as Costner, and put an end to the debate of Hunt’s involvement in the assassination. This narrative concludes that not only had Hunt lied under oath during his the trials, but Sturgis, another main suspect, had lied as

    Here he comes! Heading passed the Texas Book Depository. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Our thirty-fifth president John F. Kennedy was shot, and died instantly. How many shooters were there?

There are many conspiracies to his assassination, like the official Warren Commission report of 1964. I have a theory there were multiple shooters.

    THE MOB FELT BETRAYED IN 1963. Chicago godfather Sam Giancana had helped Kennedy win the 1960 election through skulduggery, and Miami mobster Santos Trafficante had aided the CIA in its assassination attempts on Castro. But rather than pledging their loyalty, the Kennedys launched an all-out campaign against organized crime. Attorney General Robert Kennedy first went after Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa and then deported New Orleans syndicate boss Carlos Marcello to Guatemala. Pushed around long enough, and angry at the president for going soft on Castro -- who had shut down its lucrative Cuban casinos -- the mob made someone an offer he couldn't refuse. Oswald was either its hit man or its patsy. Upon his arrest, the mob dispatched Jack Ruby to silence him.…

    The Commission in its report did not mention an FBI report from a witness placing Oswald in the second floor lunchroom of the depository at 12:15. They did report Oswald being in the lunchroom between 12:31 and 12:32. It would be difficult for anyone to believe that Oswald ran up to the 6th floor to assassinate Kennedy and then returned to the lunchroom at 12:31. Since Kennedy was assassinated at 12:30, the Commission actually presents evidence that Oswald was in the lunch room at the time of the assassination as he could not possibly hide his rifle and get down to the lunch room within two minutes. 5.…

    JFK LONE GUNMAN

    It is a well-known fact that President John F Kennedy was shot dead, assassinated in Dealey Plaza on the 22nd of November, 1963. What is still debated today however, is who killed Kennedy, and how many people were involved. One of the main contributing factors to this debate is the amount of potential forensic evidence destroyed, the question of how reliable some of the evidence is (, mainly eye-witness accounts), and the evidence that is yet to be released to the public (, why is it locked up, what light can it shed on the event?). Due to many problems surrounding the very evidence that historians, politicians and common people alike draw their opinions from, there can be no definitive conclusion as to whether JFK was killed by a lone gunman, or even who is ultimately responsible for his death. The evidence recovered on the assassination of JFK largely supports the theory of a lone gunman, the identity of this gunman however, is still hotly debated, but a significant portion of all evidence released to the public points to the lone gunman theory. The way this evidence supports the lone gunman theory is varied. Several eye witnesses claim…

    The Lone Gunman theory is the official explanation for the John F. Kennedy’s assassination, as arrived at by the Warren Commission after a review of the available evidence. The Warren Commission had stated this in the report of JFK’s assassination, “The bullets that killed Kennedy and injured Connally were fired by Oswald in three shots from a rifle pointed out of a sixth-floor window in the Texas School Book Depository.” According to this theory, JFK’s assassination involved a single gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. The two bullet fragments found in the front seat of the Presidential limousine were fired from the 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, which was found on the sixth floor of the Depository Building. Oswald had later on killed the police officer that had caught him and tried to question him which gave the public and government more of a reason to believe he was the assassinator of JFK.…

    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…

    President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 at Dallas TX. 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. This is when Kennedy died. Within 15 minutes of the crime, there was a description of Oswald given to the police and…

    Similarities between the Lincoln and Kennedy Assassinations Both American presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy (JFK) were tragically assassinated during their terms in office. Both men, admired by many, were hated by many who opposed their political views. Very shortly after the Kennedy assassination in November of 1963, a strikingly similar comparison of the circumstances of his death and the death of Lincoln in 1865 surfaced media everywhere. These comparisons have both fueled conspiracies and pointed out some amazingly specific coincidences. Some examples include: -Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846/Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946 -Lincoln was elected president in 1860/…
