CONSIPIRACY THEORIES

COMMISSION/VIDEOS/JFK-ASSASSINATION- CONSPIRACY-THEORIES

WARREN COMMISSION A week after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963, his successor, Lyndon Johnson ( ), established a commission to investigate Kennedy’s death. After a nearly yearlong investigation, the commission, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren ( ), concluded that alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald ( ) had acted alone in assassinating America’s 35th president, and that there was no conspiracy, either domestic or international, involved. Despite its seemingly firm conclusions, the report proved controversial and failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the event. Subsequent investigations have both supported and called into question the Warren Commission’s report. Historychannel.com

1 Shooter, 3 Shots ????

6.5mm Carcano Carbine rifle (partial palm print of Oswald) Did he have enough time to load and discharge 3 times?

Magic Bullet

The Black Umbrella

BY STANDERS?

WHAT IS SO SHADY???? It’s 2-fold: 1. Suspicious series of events and testimony about what happened November 22, 1963 in Dallas Questionable people there Contradictory witness testimony – where the shots came from, how many there were, Grassy Knoll Interpretation of the evidence How the evidence was collected, autopsy was performed, what happened to the body The probability of the interpretation of the evidence – “magic bullet”? 3 shots that fast?

SO MANY MOTIVES…. A TANGLED WEB 2. Did Oswald do it “just because”? Mob had it in for Kennedy (Senate investigation of Giancana, Hoffa…) CIA had a reputation of doing things under the table Johnson allegedly had ties to big business who wanted JFK out Castro wanted JFK out because he saw him as a huge threat to the success of his revolution Soviets wanted JFK out Oswald working for the KGB? Ruby working for KGB or CIA to keep Oswald quiet?

CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS KHRUSCHEV EMBARASSED OSWALD DEFECTED TO USSR - Claims of Oswald linked to KGB - Oswald’s wife was Russian

CIA BAY OF PIGS MAFIA Mafia had $ in Cuba Mafia had ties to CIA Deal between CIA and Mafia: CIA assassinates Castro, Mafia assassinates JFK Bay of Pigs ended any hopes of US/Cuba to mend relations (and Mafia get back into Cuba) Mafia had it in for Kennedy brothers

Mafia Jack Ruby Oswald (patsy) Marxism (Rejected)Cuban Citizenship Oswald proving himself

Johnson: Next in line to be president Supported by oil interests/wealthy businessmen (special interests) Aided by George H. W. Bush… CIA: Plays a part in virtually all of the theories “Secret” “Red Scare” paranoia (wire tapping, J. Edgar Hoover…) Reputation for assassinations Oswald was an agent? No.

WHO DID IT????
