    The physical evidence proves it to not be suicide. How can a person live through a shot to the chest with a pistol, reload the pistol while still trying to breath, twist his arm in such a manner, and shoot himself again in the back of the head and live through that as well as afterwards, ask for a drink and crawl into his bed to die. It doesn’t make sense for him to do that. The evidence isn’t there to support a suicide and the first witness has changed her story three times and can now not be trusted as a source. This was a…

    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).…
