shot sniper perch 4 out of 178 witnesses claimed to hear shots coming from multiple directions

 Oswald fired 3 shots (missed the first one)  the assassination was filmed (Zapruder)  U.S. government investigated the murder for years and concluded that Oswald acted alone  few witnesses gave indication that more than 3 shots were fired at Kennedy  However....

 JFK was killed by a conspiracy of high government officials with LBJ working with the CIA, the mafia and anti-Castro Americans who all wanted revenge for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. Another theory says that Castro killed JFK with Russia’s help. Some say Jack Ruby killed Oswald so that he wouldn’t talk.

 Kennedy was hit in the back of the neck and back of the head  Oliver Stone in JFK argued that a single bullet could not have hit JFK and Governor Connally the way reported

 Using the bullet wounds, Stone used this diagram to convince people that one bullet could not hit JFK and the governor the way reported

 Once their seats are properly aligned, the single bullet theory might be valid

 Some say there was a mysterious man fanning an umbrella right as Kennedy was shot - Oliver Stone said he was signaling to shoot JFK here

 Supposedly, JFK wanted to withdraw from Vietnam & LBJ had him killed so he could continue the war

 The mob supposedly wanted to murder Kennedy

 the CIA tried several times to kill Fidel Castro - Operation Mongoose considered poisoned cigars and poisoned diving suits

 the USA was a serious rival in the Cold War - killing JFK might provide instability in the military and government
