Who Was Responsible for Jfk's Death?
Who you think was responsible for the assassination of Kennedy?
The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the biggest cases built up on theories and endless misplacements. Kennedy was assassinated on Friday 22nd November 1963, in Dallas, Texas. This mystery has not yet been solved; people have different opinions and blame different people or groups. I think that Kennedy was assassinated by the American intelligence plot. Again everyone has their own opinions, but I will explain during this report why I think this, also I will explain some of the theories. The warren commission- Warren was the judge that handled the case in court. After Kennedy’s death Lyndon B. Johnson was appointed president. He immediately set up a commission to conclude what had happened to J.F.K. Earl Warren was the chief Justice. Two weeks after Kennedy’s death the Warren commission produced a 500 page report with no index, making it difficult for anyone to check the facts. They concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman and also that there was no evidence of a conspiracy. The Warren commission report was published in October 1964. (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKwarrenR.htm)

‘Lone assassin’ theory- Lee Harvey Oswald was originally arrested for the murder of a police officer. Oswald denied both murders, but only two days while being transferred to county jail, he was shot by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner. The evidence proves that Oswald could not have shot all of the shots that they heard on the radio. Oswald could not of fired his bolt-action rifle fast enough to wound both Kennedy and Connally with separate shots. ( that’s where the ‘magic bullet’ theory comes from) (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKSinvestOswald.htm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_gunman_theory) ‘Magic bullet’ theory-
This picture shows the bullet that hit Kennedy and travelled into Connally hitting him in the wrist and thigh. As you can see Connally was sitting right in

    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.…

    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.…

    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? How many shots were there really? Who was this Lee Harvey Oswald? Why did Jack Ruby kill Oswald? These are the mysteries of JFK’s assassination. There are many conspiracies to his assassination, like the official Warren Commission report of 1964. I have a theory there were multiple shooters. There were many shooters, because of how many shots there were, and the autopsy photos of JFK and the bullet wounds in the governor. This will all tie into my conspiracy.…

    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 first person who I think is responsible without a doubt is obviously Lee Harvey Oswald. But I don't believe Oswald fired all the shots, or the fatal shot to JFK's head. From watching the video, it pretty much made it obvious how almost impossible it would be for one man who is no way a world record shot by any means to fire a rifle three times in the amount of seconds Oswald did and be as accurate as he did. I believed he fired the shot that hit the ground and the shot that hit JFK in the back. I believe Oswald's main purpose was to be a scapegoat for the real assassin.…

    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.…

    JFK Assassination

    George Thomson, a pool builder from California, published a book about his own theories in 1964. Thomson believes that 22 shots were fired, and five people were killed in the Dealey Plaza that day. Thomson also came up with the "Kennedy Lives Theory". He claims that Officer J.D. Tippit, who looks very identical to the president, was riding in the limousine, impersonating JFK. Tippit was reported killed the same day Kennedy was assassinated, because he was supposedly shot by Lee Harvey Oswald when the officer tried to stop him. Thomson believes that Kennedy escaped because he was supposedly seen at a private party for author, Truman Capote, one year after the assassination. This would match up to the reasoning behind the illegal transportation of the body and the "missing" x-rays. Another contribution to this theory was the sketchy autopsy that was done on JFK's body. The Zapruder films shows a big hole blown on the right side of the head, but neither of the two autopsies noticed the hole. It was also reported that officer Tippit was shot in the head. There is no explanation as to why Kennedy would stay in hiding though.…

    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…

    The Warren commission is where it all falls into place. The single document that was released a year after the president’s death that told the whole story, all the facts, all of the conspiracies. and all of the possibilities. This was where later facts were pieced together to create more conspiracies. The harder we look into it and the more we figure things out the more complicated things get. It stated many other things like other gunman that could have been on site and even fired. The commission is the only piece that covers everything in the assassination and even if it covers all the knowns we can't be quite sure if it covers even half of the unknowns in the whole mystery of Lee Harvey Oswald, Vice President Lyndon Johnson, the CIA, the mafia, and the president John Fitzgerald…

    Many of the Warren Commission supporters claim they can find no motive for why a conspiracy would have taken place, but in disagreement, the Warren Commission has never presented an actual motive for either killer. In fact, there are many reasons why powerful groups would have wanted to kill President Kennedy as mentioned throughout this report. More information that pertains to the assassination of JFK, which has been secured by the government and unavailable to the public, will someday be available for one to possibly research thoroughly. In fact that time will be in 2030 and the United States government is required to release all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination (Murphy, 2001.). If the entire government, spearheaded by the CIA killed Kennedy, then they would not ever acknowledge it. Many other popular theories present good logical reasoning for why a good government cover-up would be in order.…

    John F. Kennedy's funeral was thrown 3 days later his body was brought back to washington representatives from over 90 countries attended John F. Kennedy's funeral. John F. Kennedy was buried at Arlington Cemetary in Virgina. The conspiracy of John F. Kennedy's death is arguably true if you deep research whether it was planned or if it was even played for by the CIA no one will ever know, to be quite honest with you when the shot was fired it was said to be coming out of a crowd of 200 people and the shot that was fired was a direct hit in the head some may argue that it was the impossible shot fired at such a far distance and so accurate.

Kennedy's wife was very hurt after her husband's death she almost couldn't comprehend that her husband had died while the security of the president wanted her to be hidden in a safe house she wanted to go as if nothing ever happen.
