Evidence that linked him to the crime that was found, were bullets that were retrieved from…
“‘ Is it a bird!?’ ‘Is it a plane?!’ ‘IT’S SUPERMAN!’ ‘No it really is a plane?’” This famous advertisement was used in news headlines around the United States referring to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. On this day Islamic terrorists hijacked American flights and attempted to attack several US business buildings.…
to be inaccurate. There were a few centimeters of difference between the drawing of the bullet wound on the back of Kennedy’s neck compared to the picture taken at Parkland Hospital. What was believed to be an exit wound on the back of Kennedy’s neck by the Parkland staff was later determined to be an entrance wound by Bethesda (McAdams “The Medical Evidence” 1). This contradiction implies that the government was attempting to cover up the fact that the gunshots came from in front of the car opposed to behind it where Oswald was alleged stationed (McAdams “The Medical Evidence” 6).…
It does not take an expert in ballistics to know that a bullet or any sort of projectile can make a series of turns especially in the small amount of space that these turns where to believed to have taken place in. Seeing as the President and Governor Connally were sitting less then three feet away from each other (MacDonald, JFK Smoking Gun) it is hard to make sense of a bullet making several turns before striking Governor…
Frank Olson was a scientist who worked for the CIA. At a 1953 CIA retreat, Olson drank a cocktail that had been secretly spiked with LSD. A few days later, on November 28, 1953, Olson tumbled to his death from the window of a New York City hotel room in an alleged suicide.…
The Truth is Out There Decades ago the first extraterrestrial life form came to Earth. The first humans these beings made contact with decided that the best course of action would be to conceal their existence until a more appropriate time. Throughout the years these men have used various strategies to seize and discredit evidence that could verify the presence of aliens on Earth.…
In the years America has had a democracy, four assassinations of the president have transpired. First, Abraham Lincoln in 1865, followed by James A. Garfield 20 years later and next, William McKinley. The most astounding assassination, in 1963, when Lee Harvey Oswald shot John Fitzgerald Kennedy during a motorcade through Dallas, Texas while traveling in an open-top convertible. JFK continues to rank among the most beloved presidents of all time- for raising minimum wage, increasing Social Security benefits and beginning the United States’ space program. As a very successful military man and an eminent president, his assassination on November 22, 1963 stunned the world.…
In the early hours on the 31st of August 1997, in the midst of a paparazzi car chase, a speeding Mercedes-Benz collided with the 13th pillar of the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in the French capital of Paris. The collision immediately took the lives of Dodi Fayed and the driver, Henri Paul. Princess Diana who sat in the rear passenger seat, suffered from severe injuries which she later succumbed to and passed away. The royal bodyguard of the princess, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the sole survivor of the accident, however having withstood serious injuries. It was determined by a series of investigations that the crash was caused primarily due to the drunken state of the driver who was speeding at levels that greatly exceeded the legal limit.…
Eventually, the students agreed to let the hostages go on January 19, 1981 if Iran gained 8 billion dollars in its own frozen assets and the embargo was removed. They were not released until January 20, President Ronald Reagan's inauguration day. Some people believe that Iran waited to release the hostages as a punishment to Jimmy Carter for his support of the Shah, and others believe in the October Surprise Conspiracy Theory. An October Surprise is a political incident that is arranged before an election to try to change the results of it. In the October Surprise Conspiracy Theory, it is believed that Reagan's presidential campaign came to an agreement with Iran to stall the release of the American Diplomates to stop President Jimmy…
I had always been fascinated by modern mysteries and conspiracy theories, but before this class, I had no clue what to accept and how to analyze the information that I was presented to me. I chose the topic of the Moon Landing, because it enabled me to take a second look at the conspiracy theory through a new lens of experience. To understand where this idea of a hoax originates, we need to understand what was going on before the Apollo 11 moon landing. Starting in the 1950s, America was in a cold war with Soviet Russia, which was less of a physical battle and more of a challenge of who had a better structured government. It was a challenge of superiority that eventually led to the space race in 1955.…
I don't believe in the medical conspiracy theories saying that we all are the victims of the big corporation selling us drugs and medications. As far as I remember I rarely have to pay anything when I go to the pharmacy. But, it doesn’t mean it has no cost at all. It’s equivalent of having a lunch but not paying for it. Potatoes have to grow somewhere, nothing is free however people think it is and oftenly mistake science for the magicians.…
The Dallas Police Department was most fortunate to have both. The body of President Kennedy was transported to the Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was officially pronounced dead. Yet, contrary to Texan law, the body of JFK was flown out of Dallas on Air Force One and transported to a hospital in Washington D.C. This maneuver by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), again left conspiracy theorists questioning the brazen move. The significance of this strategy resounds most in the emergence of the “magic bullet theory” ( Texas A&M University, 2007).…
On Friday, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot down in a motorcade on his way through Dealey Plaza. Through investigation and debate, the Warren Commission found that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin (Report of the Warren Commission On the Assassination of President Kennedy). “The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy”(“Top 10 JFK Assassination Quotes”). This final report done by the House Select Committee on Assassinations clearly contradicts the Warren Commission’s Report on the Kennedy Assassination which states that only a lone shooter killed JFK. Through careful research and examination, it is shown…
You see the numbers 666 and fear the devil, you notice a pentagram and imagine witchcraft, and with no doubt you associate the triangle formed by your hands with The Illuminati— an elite organization of leaders around the world. The Illuminati’s mysterious persona and ominous presence has turned into an enticing, yet fearful conspiracy theory around the world. I am going to discuss one of the most popular conspiracy theories of the 21st century regarding The Illuminati, or The New World Order, which is that globally known musician Beyoncé is a member of the Illuminati. This conspiracy theory is illogical because it incorporates conformation bias of conspiracy theorist, as well as lacks sound proof that Beyoncé’s career and family are influenced…
Magic Bullet, It’s a book about a study on the American people and how their reaction to certain diseases has had a significant effect on the way people react or respond to the problem. In this particular book the author, Allan M. Brandt, concentrates his study on several venereal transmitted diseases such as syphilis, herpes, gonorrhea and AIDS. This venereal diseases are often labeled and often related to sinful behaviors, often related to a specific group of people, for example: the LGBT community, extramarital intimate relationship, criminals, prostitutes and immigrants. In this study morals is an important part of the judgment against venereal diseases. For conservative moralists the solution to the problem was abstinence of having frequent…
