    In 1976, the US Senate ordered a fresh inquiry into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was murdered in 1963 during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas while campaigning for re-election. People who had been involved in the original Warren Commission investigations were asked to make fresh statements. The FBI and the CIA were persuaded to release more of their documents on Oswald. New lines of inquiry were opened and individuals who had not previously given evidence were persuaded to come forward. Most important of all, pieces of evidence such as photos and sound recordings were subjected to scientific analysis using the most up-to-date methods and equipment. The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) completed their investigation in 1979 and they finally came to a discrete verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at Kennedy, one of which killed the president. A fourth shot was fired from the grassy knoll, which was contradictory to the statement printed by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier. They concluded that John Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy.

  • Masculinity in Oliver Stone's Nixon

    [2] My analysis primarily focuses on Stone’s film Nixon, but it is noteworthy to mention JFK, since both films were embroiled in heated debates regarding historical authenticity and artistic license. In JFK, Stone pieces together several conspiracy theories as to who was responsible for President Kennedy’s assassination from “real” primary texts, news footage, ear and eye witnesses, and the Zapruder film, among others. In Nixon, Stone uses similar techniques to posit equally troubling theses: the first that Nixon, while Vice President, was involved in a plot to assassinate Fidel Castro, and, second, that Nixon was directly or inadvertently responsible for the deaths of John and Robert Kennedy. Stone elects to create scenes and embellish information but defends his mixing of fact and speculation: “Of course, there’s license and speculation, but they are based on reasonable assumptions which we’ve discussed with highly reliable technical advisers who lived through the history we’re recounting in the film” (Monsel 206).

  • Lee Harvey Oswald's Assassination

    Kennedy was in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas with his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, and the mayor of Dallas, John Connally. At 12:30 pm, during the motorcade, three shots were fired at the car, the first missing, the second wounding both Mayor Connally and President Kennedy, and the third fatally wounding him in the side of the head. The shots were fired by none other than Lee Harvey Oswald, who was perched in a local warehouse that he worked at with a rifle. Then, Oswald fled the building and killed Officer J.D. Tippet when he stopped Oswald in the street (Oswald Bio). With this information, Oswald’s assassination couldn’t be anymore justified because John F. Kennedy was a political leader, serving first in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, and then finally he was elected as the 35th President of the United States. He helped ease Cold War tensions with the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (JFK Bio), and delivered the famous quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” So, he was a political figure who millions of citizens look up to, but he received lots of support from the African-American community in particular, because of his Civil Rights activism. In September of 1962, he sent the National Guard to Mississippi to protect James Meredith, who later became the first black student to enroll at the University of Mississippi (JFK Bio). Also, he sent a civil rights bill to Congress

    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).
