Did He or Did He Not?
Topher Throckmorton

Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (also known as JFK)? I personally think that he was not alone and that there was a conspiracy. The three main reasons why I think there was a conspiracy is because one he couldn’t have come up the whole assassination by himself, two is that someone had told him when JFK was getting closer to where he was shot, and three is that someone had to of been around JFK to know when and where he was going to be driving so Oswald could shoot. Those are my three reasoning’s, in the next three paragraphs I’ll be explaining my three reasoning’s on why I think there was a conspiracy. Oswald couldn’t have come up with the whole assassination by himself because if he had gone and figured everything out by himself he would eventually be suspicious and then get caught. He probably had hired someone to do his dirty work so he wouldn’t get caught.

That person had to of been scooping out JFK for a while or had to have ease-drop on his meetings and conversations to figure when and where his next move was. Whoever it was figured out when he was making his next move and where he was making his next move. Then he told Oswald and his other hired people to make sure they were in position at the right place and to be there on at the right time. Whoever was behind figuring his every move, they did a good job because it all went the way they wanted. I have just explained to you my three main reasons why I think there was a conspiracy in the JFK assassination. They first one was that he couldn’t have come up the whole assassination by himself, two is that someone had to been telling him when JFK was getting closer to where he was shot, and three is that someone had to of been around JFK to know when and where he was going to be driving so Oswald could

    Maybe, a few hours after Kennedy was declared dead Johnson ordered for the presidential limo to be remodeled and all evidence to be locked away for 75 years. So why was Oswald accused of the murder of JFK? Because he was the CIAs backboard to blame after the assassination was complete and then no one will know the truth behind the assassination. Some people believe that Oswald did really kill the president, but why did Oswald wait for the limo to turn on Elm St. and not on Houston St where he could have a clear straight shot at the president that if he missed the first time he could get him with a second shot at the intersection of Houston and Elm…

    Since Oswald liked Cuba more, Fidel Castro was their leader, who was communist. Oswald did like those two things better than the U.S., so he thought that’s how the U.S. should be too. Along with that, he overall didn't like the Democratic Party and didn't agree with JFK. He was mostly one sided on the political aspect of things, even though some witnesses say before the assassination happened, he “somewhat liked JFK” (Before It’s News 1), no one would've thought that he would've been the one to shoot him.…

    In November 22 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated; two bullets got him, one in the head and another in the neck. Lee Harvey Oswald was the main suspect for the assassination and a commission to investigate the matter concluded that Oswald was acting alone. However, two days after the assassination, a night club owner, Jack Ruby, shot dead Oswald on live television. Killing the main suspect only meant one thing; that the death of the key suspect denied Americans a fair criminal justice process that would have brought closure for a public trial. This historical event continues to be a very memorable one and until today, different scholars continue to debate on the different conspiracies behind the assassination.…

    The Kennedy Assassination There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, (JFK). One of the most prominent, is that lone gunman and communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald, on his own accord, took matters into his own hand and singlehandedly planned and executed the President of the United States of America. Another theory was that Oswald was a pawn in a deadly game of politics and mafia wars and was directed by the powers that be to kill JFK, and in an effort to prevent him from ever exposing the plot, he too was murdered in cold blood. Curiously, the theory that weighs in most heavily is that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for the murder of JFK. Popular conspiracy theories claimed the “government” was behind it and the murder was in retaliation for a political upset, specifically, the Bay of Pigs conflict in Cuba (Polidoro, 2005).…

    First off, Oswald exclaims while being moved in the Dallas Police Headquarters, “I’m just a patsy!”(DavidVonPeinJFK).This shows that he is the only person being looked at because he lived in the Soviet Union and is being taken advantage of because of it.

A possible motive for Ruby is to be an American hero, however it is believed that Ruby was just silencing Oswald from revealing the truth about the assassination.
