Sixty-one percent of Americans believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This belief stems from decades of investigations, hearings, documents, records, and books. Alternative theories include blaming Cuba, organized crime, anti-Castro, and alleged coverup by parts of the federal government, such as the original FBI investigators, the Warren Commission, or the CIA.
The CIA Conspiracy is one of the most famous theories, suggesting the involvement of rogue elements within the CIA seeking retribution for Kennedy’s policies. It remains unclear why Oswald shot the president, fueling countless conspiracies, like whether his successor Lyndon B. Johnson was behind the assassination. Some conspiracy theories are real, such as Lincoln’s assassination and Watergate, but it is important to examine the evidence before dismissing them out of hand.
Over the past 50 years, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas has spawned numerous conspiracy theories, including the involvement of the CIA, the FBI, and the mob. Gallup first asked Americans about culpability in Kennedy’s assassination immediately after the murder in Dallas, Texas, and the majority of Americans believe some conspiracy about his death.
In conclusion, the assassination of President Kennedy has left many Americans questioning the motives behind the assassination and the involvement of various conspiracy theories.
📹 The JFK Assassination Was Crazy
Mr. Beat explains one of the most shocking events in American history, the assassination of the 35th president, John F. Kennedy.
📹 Was President JFK Really Killed by the CIA
What really happened to JFK? Was it one shooter? Did Lee Harvey Oswald really pull the trigger? So many questions left …
Good article. I can’t help but feel there’s something of a test going on here lol, because while half the article provides another angle of the matter, the description links to an extremely exhaustive counter point of any other conclusion besides a lone gunman. It’s great to see both sides, but on the other hand I can’t really make heads or tails of the idea one explanation is in the article and the other is in the description lol nice work tho, cheers
I was a nine year old in my third grade classroom when the principal entered the classroom, interrupted the teacher whispering something to the teacher. She announced that President Kennedy had been shot and that school will be dismissed early and that we could go home. After walking home my mother was surprised to hear the news and turned on the TV for more news. My father, who was a Sargent in the Army at Fort Chaffee, soon called home and told mom the entire base was on full alert and he would not be coming home that night. Mom then feared a rain of atomic bombs and started packing supplies for a quick get a way if needed. Our local TV stations used to go off air around midnight, but they remained on air from Friday morning until Monday night, which was somewhat welcomed and reassured us as events unfolded. Everyone was glued to the TV sets. School did not resume until Tuesday. Seeing Old Glory at half staff for a month kept my city of Fort Smith in sorrow for a while, being an Army town. I will never forget the events that weekend. You asked for our opinions, I strongly believe all the physical evidence at the scene of the crime points to Oswald being the sole assassin. As for there being a second gunman behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll, no one ever reporting seeing anyone with a gun there. Yes, some reported seeing people there within a non defined timespan. Yes, some reported seeing a puff of smoke near the time – when most modern gun ammunition no longer create smoke.
If there was NO conspiracy, then nobody would be making articles about it, and, there would never be any doubt, whatsoever that Oswald was the lone gunman, I own the movie, JFK, and I am glad that a movie got certain people in the govt. to look deeper into it. Will we ever find out for sure, 100%? It is very,very doubtful, and that it is also very sad. Great article, guys!
My great-grandparents witnessed the assassination of JFK. They were visiting my Great-Grandpa George’s family down in Dallas on November 20, 1963. They were staying there for a few nights and learned under short notice that the president was visiting Dallas on the 22nd. They decided to stand at Elm Street, extremely close to where the Zapruder film was recorded. They were incredibly close to the shot. My great-grandma has a selfie of her and her husband as Kennedy’s motorcade is driving by, little did they know (judging by the location) that the president would be fatally shot. 10:52, my great-grandmother was the woman in the navy blue outfit, and the man in black with the hat is my great-grandfather. They were both in their early 20’s when it happened. She still tells the tale to this day, proving everyone’s denial wrong by bringing out the photo. “Me and your Grandpa George were standin’ right by the streets when I heard 3 bangs. Next thing I saw was the president’s head exploding. Not every day you witness the murder of a president” – My Great-Grandmother retelling the tale
I remember that day… my sister and I came home from school. Mom and dad told us that the president was killed. We were on Okinawa Island, my dad was in the military and was afraid that ww3 would start because of the bay of pigs. Dad said mom and us girls would have to go back to the USA by ourselves. That it might not be safe for us to stay on the island. My sister and I cried for hours because we didn’t want to leave dad by himself. We did stay on the island and decided that if we died, then we would die together.
A conspiracy of 1 is the best kept secret. The shady dealings afterword are mostly to cover up the poor job the FBI and secret service did for this trip. Like you said, Oswald was on the FBI radar, and they did nothing to find his whereabouts or monitor him. Agent Hosty actually destroyed evidence in the form of the letter Oswald wrote the FBI telling them to leave his wife Marina alone. Oswald was a lone frustrated loser who defected to the Soviet Union and returned when he couldn’t get anywhere in that society either. Not someone to choose as an assassin. It is known he used the same firearm to try and murder a controversial Air Force General (or Colonel) earlier, but missed.
This article was obsolete at the time it was uploaded. Two months earlier Paul Landis, a secret service agent who was part of the motorcade, explained how the “magic bullet” ended up on a stretcher at Parkland Memorial hospital: he put it there. The bullet struck Kennedy in the back but didn’t penetrate his suit. Landis found it in the crevice where the leather seat back met the metal of the back dash. This entirely debunks the single bullet theory at the heart of the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Oswald was the only gunman. Landis kept this secret for sixty years.
Great article. Youtube is CIA. They are promoting an encyclopedia as a valid reference source. My teachers in the 80’s told me encyclopedias were NOT valid sources. Seems Youtube has a stake in having us believe the lies. The narratives are unfolding. We are allowed our “nice lives” as long as we go along willfully. Once we start pushing back against our masters, then the real tyranny will begin. We will have no choice.
One of the major problems with JFK Assassination conspiracy theories is that while all of them agree that Kennedy’s assassination was not done by Oswald alone, many of them disagree with each other. Some say Oswald never shot Kennedy or he was part of a team or he wasn’t there at all. As for the planning of the assassination, some say it was LBJ others blame Castro or the big banks or the Jews or the KGB Or the mafia or the FBI or the CIA or the Illuminati or the Freemasons or the military industrial complex and so on and so fourth. The simplest and only answer, corroborated by evidence is that Oswald shot Kennedy and acted alone.
I remember vividly i was being Gay when Kennedy got Shot in the cranium, perusal how his skin ripped out the skull and his paralyzed upper torso inclined to the left while his heart kept pumping blood his blinding the last thing he saw was an escort similarly to a funeral, gasping for his last breath of air as he looked to the ground, realizing his immediate loss of conscience as his lungs lacked blood pressure from the cranium wound not being able to breathe, John Fiztgerald Kennedy died like a pig before a butcher in front of the entire world and perpetuity for our own entertainment and curiosity.
There was in fact air support for the Bay of Pigs invasion—the eight B-26s which had bombed Cuban airfields before the landing. (Also some special forces support for the landing.) The military leaders assured Kennedy that this would be sufficient because they knew he’d be hesitant to approve more extensive direct US involvement, but it is believed that they always knew it wouldn’t be, but simply assumed that JFK would never refuse their further requests once the plan was in motion.
Government insiders and mostly everyone in the US govt including the CIA, LBJ, ect. hated JFK so much, they all had him killed. War mongers wanted JFK killed too. No Vietnam war had JFK lived. No Richard Nixon as president had JFK and RFK lived. It was all a coup. a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.
The Mafia killed Kennedy. The contention that the CIA could have carried out this plot is laughable. It would have needed the cooperation of the FBI under J Edgar Hoover. It would have needed the cooperation of the Dallas police department and it would have needed the cooperation of the Secret Service. The Mafia however is a criminal organization specializing in hits! They had the motive of “vendetta” to pay back the betrayal of the Kennedy administration for putting the president’s brother Attorney General Bobby Kennedy on their tail. I believe that Charles Nicoletti and James Files were the people who killed Kennedy.
The “magic” bullet, Ozwald. I believe Kennedy was assassinated by groups : CIA, Mob and the Republican/ GOP( George Herbert Walker Bush – was in the CIA, and wasn’t there to protect JFK). In fact GHWBush almost let it slip that he had something to do with the assassination. They were supposed to have more police/CIA/ FBI protection but backed off on that idea….Why?
While it’s true that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only suspect, the investigation into the murders was ended when Oswald was arrested. No one else was investigated or charged because the authorities simply didn’t pursue it. The fact of the matter is at trial, Mr Oswald had no less than five witnesses that put him on the 2nd floor of the building while the shooting was happening on the 6th floor. 90 seconds after the last shot was fired, a Dallas cop had Mr Oswald at gunpoint on the second floor-Mr Oswald was drinking a Coke, not sweating or shaking or looking like somebody that just murdered a person. The cop asked The book depository boss if he knew this guy and he replied yes he works here. He then released Oswald and with the supervisor, ran up the stairs to the 6th floor where the shots came from. As a matter of fact before that,Mr Oswald was on the first floor getting change for the Coke machine from a book depository secretary.. Plus two secretaries from the 4th floor were standing on the 4th floor landing before going down the stairs directly after the shooting, stated that nobody passed them going down the stairs, but the officer and the supervisor passed them going up the stairs. The authorities couldn’t put Mr Oswald at the crime scene during the shooting. Three secretaries, a supervisor and no less than a Dallas police officer would have been called to testify to that fact in Court. That’s assuming that a grand jury would have even let it go that far.. Mr Oswald would have walked😮 the history teacher should know better than anybody in this country you are innocent until proven guilty😊 stating that “Oswald did it” period!
I was ten years old, the youngest of seven elder siblings of late teens an early twenties plus my parents and elder relatives were in their early fifties who all said that in their own life experiences consisting of two world wars, a depression that saw the rise of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and many other fascist dictators, some assassinations of democratically elected politicians, now known to be acted out by powerful covert entities, of whose origins are well documented. Contolled assassinations happen and that said I’ll stop now before I am…………
I gotta say, it’s incredibly sickening that thieves could find the title of your home and sell it from underneath you… and the only way to protect that from happening is with a subscription service. No one should have to pay money for that kind of protection, it should just be a lot harder to commit that crime! Maybe have some better services in place to keep my HOUSE FROM GETTING TORN DOWN WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?? Even my PlayStation account won’t let me log in without 2-step verification! It’s annoying but it KEEPS THIEVES AWAY. Wtf is this capitalist society? Absolutely disgusting.
