Conspiracy Theories Related to the Assassination of John F. Kennedy

On the 22nd of November 1963, the 35th president of the United States of America, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime, but was shot and killed two days later by Jack Ruby before he could be taken to trial. The Warren Commission officially determined that Oswald was the lone assassin, however, this conclusion has not been accepted by many. In fact, a 2003 poll reported that 75% of Americans do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Most believe that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy, though these same polls also show that there is no agreement on who else might have been involved. Most put forward the idea of involved parties such as Castro supporters, the Mafia, and the U.S Government.

The President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, known unofficially as the Warren Commission, was established on November 27, 1963, by Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of U.S President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Its final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964, and was made public three days later. The Commission was conducted to evaluate matters relating to the assassination and the subsequent killing of the alleged assassin, and to report its findings and conclusions to him. The Commission's findings have since proven controversial and been both challenged and supported by later studies.

- There were only three shots fired.

- The same bullet which pierced the Pre...

Based on this evidence, I feel that the assassination of John F Kennedy was the result of a conspiracy run by the US Government. The reasoning’s and evidence behind this theory seem plausible to me. The fact that many of the witnesses had not had interviews recorded and heard by multiple people makes them uncreditable and unreliable.

There is no doubt that the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 is one of the most controversial and talked about topics of American and world history. This is because of the question that remains unanswered, ‘Who killed Mr Kennedy?’. It seems that no evidence is going to answer the questions of curious people around the globe, and until those questions can be answered, no one will ever be certain if the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the result of a conspiracy.
