The Warren Commision Conspiracy

On the fateful day of November 22nd, 1963, our 35th President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Seven days after the death of John F. Kennedy, the new President Lyndon Johnson launched a federal investigation into the assassination of JFK. Led by Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren the investigation became known as the Warren Commision. The Warren Commision concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as a lone shooter, and that a single bullet struck JFK in the throat and then struck Texas Governor John Connally. This understanding became known as the Single Bullet Theory. The Warren Commision is clearly flawed, shown through research suggesting a great amount of evidence proving so.One piece of evidence that proves the Warren Commission is faulty is the Zapruder Film, correlating with the words and recollection of events that occurred on November 22nd from the first lady herself, Jacqueline Kennedy. More evidence that proves that the single bullet theory is incorrect comes from a witness named James Teague, who was injured during the shooting. The Warren Commision also made many mistakes early on in the investigation, with other …show more content…

In an interview with Jacqueline Kennedy, she explains of how she heard 2 shots fired and possibly even a third shot that was fired, saying, “There must have been two because the one that made me turn around was Governor Connally yelling...I used to think if I only had been looking to the right I would have seen the first shot hit him, then I could have pulled him down, and then the second shot would not have hit him. But I heard Governor Connally yelling and that made me turn around, and as I turned to the right my husband was doing this (indicating with hand at neck). He was receiving a bullet. And those are the only two I remember.” (43, Carey

    In the 1920’s a heightened suspicion of communist activities on domestic American land arose, the Red Scare. Benjamin Gitlow, a prominent member of the Socialist party, was arrested and convicted on charges of violating the New York Criminal Anarchy Law of 1902 during these drastic times. What was his violation? The publication and circulation of the Left-Wing Manifesto, a mere pamphlet, in the United States was his infringement. He appealed the decision on the basis that it violated his First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and press and it was passed on to the United States Supreme Court. The court ruled 7-2 in favor of Gitlow on the basis of Section 1 of the Fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Gitlow v. New York exemplifies the protection of civil right and liberties with judicial activism.

  • The Assassination of JFK: Americans Will Always Remember

    The assassination of John F. Kennedy led many Americans to distrust their own federal government. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed the Warren Commission to investigate Kennedy's death, but the way that they handled it resulted in many American citizens to lose trust in their country. The Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy, but the view of the general public was that the killing was a conspiracy. They believed that the Warren Commission withheld important evidence about the event that took place on November 22, 1963. Many also accused the Warren Commission of not fully investigating the crime which caused a large number of American citizens to lose trust in their own government.

    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.

  • What Is The Significance Of The Harpers Ferry Raid

    1027 Words  | 3 Pages

    Abolitionism quickly gained popularity since 1821 when William Lloyd Garrison assisted in writing an anti-slavery newspaper, The Genius of Universal Emancipation, with Benjamin Lundy. In 1831, abolitionism continued to grow in popularity when William Lloyd Garrison started The Liberator. Although there remained not a need for slaves in the North, slavery remained very big in the South for growing “cash crops.” The majority of the abolitionists who inhabited the North organized speeches, meetings, and newspapers to spread their cause. Initially, only small revolts and fights occurred. However, major events along the way led to the Harpers Ferry Raid. For example, with Kansas choosing whether or not to become a free or slave state. That became the biggest event up until John Brown’s Raid. John Brown had always despised slavery, and this enhanced his chance as an organized revolt. The effect of his raid on Harpers Ferry affected what the South thought about abolitionists and the power that they held.

    Fear begets hate and hate begets violence. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the 1741 New York slave conspiracy trials. Much like the violence in the Salem Witch Trials, a set of natural circumstances coupled with the word of one or two people from a lower order of society caused hysteria and bloodshed. This case is flimsy by modern-day standards and is also very flimsy by the standards of the 1740s.

Pulling the trigger as Kennedy was half way down the road a 6.5 millimetre bullet pierced Kennedys coat from the rear, puncturing his spine, exiting around the Adam’s apple and following through to hit Connally.

  • The Treason Trial of Aaron Burr

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the months between and including May and September, in 1807, Aaron Burr was tried by the Supreme Court in Virginia on the count of treason against the United States. During the period of 1804 to 1807, Burr allegedly committed several overt acts, which are actions, that may be innocent in themselves, but in combination with the intentions and results of that act, become criminal actions. The trial was about treason, which the Constitution defines as “levying war against [the United States], or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort,“ (Art. III, Sect. 3) and the prosecution must prove that Burr committed the overt act with the testimony of two witnesses, for the treason conviction to stand. In this trial, Burr’s actions outside of the state of Virginia have no bearing on the overt act of assembling troops to levy war against the United States, and therefore the majority of his admissible actions occurred on Blennerhasset’s Island in Virginia. (Doc 108) Although the prosecution made a strong case for Burr’s guilt, the differentiation between his intentions and his actions, his background as an American patriot and the lack of concrete evidence, one must conclude that Aaron Burr is not guilty of treason. He perhaps was even the victim of a larger governmental conspiracy to rid him of all prestige, honor and legacy.
