The Conspiracy Theory

Answer 1

I have this much wriiten down.  

The Kennedy Conspiracy Theory refers to the belief that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, our 35th President of the United States, in 1963 was the result of a larger conspiracy involving multiple individuals or groups. While the official investigation concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, many people continue to believe that there was more to the story. Key pieces of evidence cited by conspiracy theorists include inconsistencies in the official reports, eyewitness testimony, and the existence of multiple shooters. Some of the most popular conspiracy theories include the involvement of organized crime, the CIA, or even the US government itself. Despite numerous investigations and inquiries over the years, the truth behind Kennedy's assassination remains a mystery. Theories suggest that the CIA was involved in the assassination due to Kennedy's efforts to dismantle the agency. Others propose that organized crime was involved due to Kennedy's brother Robert's crackdown on organized crime as Attorney General.
While there is no conclusive evidence to support any of the various conspiracy theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination, they continue to be the subject of much interest and debate. Some people believe that the assassination was part of a larger plot to remove Kennedy from power, while others believe that it was the result of a random act of violence. The controversy surrounding the assassination has led to numerous books, documentaries, and films being produced on the subject, and it remains one of the most widely debated events in American history. The Kennedy assassination has had a lasting impact on American culture and politics, and it continues to be a topic of interest and debate more than 50 years after the event. The assassination not only ended Kennedy's presidency prematurely, but it also shook the nation's confidence in its political institutions and raised questions about the role of government and the media in shaping public opinion. The controversy surrounding the assassination has also contributed to a broader sense of mistrust and suspicion in American society, particularly with regard to those in positions of power. Over the years, government agencies have released thousands of documents related to the assassination, but many of these documents remain heavily redacted or classified. In 1992, Congress passed the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which mandated the release of all remaining assassination-related documents by October 2017. However, in 2017, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum delaying the release of some of the documents for national security reasons. The full release of all assassination-related documents was now scheduled for October 2021.

Answer 3

assassination of John F. Kennedy, mortal shooting of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, as he rode in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. His accused killer was Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had embraced Marxism and defected for a time to the Soviet Union. Oswald never stood trial for murder, because, while being transferred after having been taken into custody, he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby, a distraught Dallas nightclub owner. Almost from the beginning, the killing of the popular young president was thought by many Americans to have been the result of a conspiracy rather than the act of an individual, despite findings to the contrary by the Warren Commission (1964), which was established by Kennedy’s successor, U.S. Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson, to investigate the assassination. The incident remained the subject of widespread speculation. On November 21, 1963, President Kennedy—accompanied by his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Vice President Johnson—undertook a two-day, five-city fund-raising trip to Texas. The trip was also likely intended as an attempt to help bring together a feuding Democratic Party in a state that was vital to Kennedy’s chances for reelection in 1964. Although Adlai Stevenson, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a liberal icon, had been confronted by highly agitated protesters a month earlier during a visit to Dallas—a city with a right-leaning press and the locus of much anti-Kennedy feeling—the president was warmly welcomed at his first two stops, San Antonio and Houston, as well as at Fort Worth, where the presidential party spent the night of November 21. The next morning, after making a speech in a parking lot in front of the hotel in which he had stayed and then speaking again at a Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast, Kennedy and his party made a short flight to Dallas’s Love Field airport. (After Dallas, the final stop on the trip was scheduled to be Austin.) At the airport the president and first lady shook hands with members of a hospitable crowd before boarding the backseat of a customized open convertible to ride with Democratic Texas Gov. John Connally and his wife (who sat in jump seats in front of the Kennedys) to the president’s next stop, the Trade Mart, where Kennedy was scheduled to deliver another speech. An estimated 200,000 people lined the roughly 10-mile (16-km) route to the Trade Mart.

As the motorcade turned southwest on Elm Street and began traveling through Dealey Plaza on the edge of downtown Dallas, the president’s convertible passed the multistory Texas School Book Depository building. Moments later, at about 12:30 PM, shots rang out. A bullet pierced the base of the neck of the president, exited through his throat, and then likely (according to the Warren Report) passed through Governor Connally’s shoulder and wrist, ultimately hitting his thigh. Another bullet struck Kennedy in the back of the head. The motorcade rushed to nearby Parkland Memorial Hospital, reaching it quickly; however, doctors’ efforts were futile. Kennedy was officially declared dead at 1:00 PM. Connally survived his wounds.

Over the next hour, as a shocked country and world learned of Kennedy’s death, the drama of the pursuit and capture of his alleged assailant unfolded. Bullet casings were found near a window on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building overlooking the plaza; a rifle (later proved to have been owned by Oswald) was discovered elsewhere on the sixth floor. An accounting of the building’s employees indicated that only two were missing: one was a man who had stepped outside to watch the motorcade and was barred by police from reentering the building, and the other was Oswald, who had been working there for about a month. Oswald had been seen on the sixth floor about a half hour before the shooting and had also been encountered in the building by its superintendent and a policeman just after the shooting. Law enforcement circulated a description of him. Meanwhile, Oswald made his way to the boardinghouse where he had been staying. Some 15 minutes after leaving the boardinghouse, he was confronted by a Dallas policeman, J.D. Tippit, who is thought to have believed that Oswald matched the description. Oswald shot and killed Tippit with a .38 revolver in the presence of a number of witnesses and was later seen entering the Texas Theatre, where at 1:50 PM he was apprehended by police.

As those events unfolded, Johnson, fearing that the assassination of the president was just the first step in a much broader effort by the Soviets or other enemies of the United States to destabilize the American government, sought to effect a quick transition of executive authority and to seek safety by leaving Dallas by plane. At 2:38 PM, before takeoff, with Kennedy’s corpse aboard, Johnson took the oath of office on Air Force One. Jacqueline Kennedy, still wearing blood-spattered clothes, stood at his side.

Questioned by both law-enforcement officers and the press, Oswald protested his innocence, claiming that he was “a patsy.” He requested to be represented by (but was never able to contact) John Abt, the staff attorney of the Communist Party USA, who was well known for his defense of communists. After being held for two days and two nights, Oswald was being transferred from Dallas City Hall (which contained the headquarters and jail of the Dallas Police Department) to the county jail on the morning of November 24, an event broadcast live on television, when Jack Ruby—a familiar face around the police station and known to police who frequented his club—was able to enter the basement parking garage of City Hall. There he shot Oswald with a handgun as the cameras looked on. Ruby later said that he had shot Oswald to spare Jacqueline Kennedy from having to testify at Oswald’s trial. Oswald was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where previously Kennedy and now Oswald, too, died. Ruby would be tried, found guilty of murder (March 14, 1964), and sentenced to death; in October 1966, however, a Texas appeals court reversed the conviction, though Ruby died (January 3, 1967; also at Parkland) before a new trial could be held.

The protocols for the funeral of another assassinated president, Abraham Lincoln, were followed for Kennedy’s funeral. Kennedy’s body, in a flag-draped casket, lay in repose in the East Room of the White House on November 23 and then was transferred to the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol to lie in state, where it was visited by some 250,000 people. On November 25 a mourning country watched on television as a sombre parade conveyed the casket—carried on a caisson pulled by six horses, accompanied by a seventh riderless horse with black cavalry boots pointed backward in the inverted stirrups—through the streets of Washington, D.C., to St. Matthew’s Cathedral, site of the funeral mass. As the cortege left the cathedral, Kennedy’s son, John, Jr., who had just turned age three, movingly saluted the casket, which was interred in Arlington National Cemetery.

Just over a week later, Jacqueline Kennedy summoned author-journalist Theodore H. White to the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. In their conversation she sought to guide him to casting the legacy of her husband’s presidency in terms of the “brief shining moment that was known as Camelot.” White used that characterization—borrowed from a popular Broadway musical about the knights of the Round Table that Jacqueline had said was much loved by her husband—in the widely read essay White wrote for the December 6 issue of Life magazine.

Johnson—convinced that a conspiracy was at the root of the assassination but not wanting the country to be pushed into rash action against either the Soviet Union or Cuba by the growing suspicion among Americans that the killing was a communist plot—moved toward closure with the creation on November 29, 1963, of the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. That body—better known as the Warren Commission, after its chairman, Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren—was charged with ascertaining, evaluating, and reporting the facts relating to the assassination and to the death of Oswald.

Warren Commission
Warren Commission
After some 10 months of investigation and closed-door hearings, the commission—drawing on a lengthy FBI report, eyewitness and expert testimony, Kennedy’s autopsy, physical evidence, sophisticated analysis of home movies of the assassination shot by Orville Nix, Marie Muchmore, and especially Abraham Zapruder, and scientific reenactments—found that Oswald had acted alone. The resulting 888-page Warren Report concluded that Oswald, who had become a skilled marksman as a marine, had fired three shots: one that entered Kennedy’s neck and exited through his throat before hitting Connally, one that hit Kennedy in the back of the head (the fatal shot), and one miss. (The conclusion drawn about the first shot, known as the “single bullet theory,” was dismissed by doubters, who saw it as predicated on what they saw as the unfathomable movements of a “magic bullet.”) Many disagreed with these findings and argued instead that there had been a second shooter on the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza that the motorcade had been approaching, and there were witnesses who thought they had heard shots coming from the direction of a railroad yard beyond the knoll. The commission, however, determined that there had not been a conspiracy involving either Oswald or Ruby. Information from your device can be used to personalize your ad experience.
