Was Jfk Assassination Justified

Improved Essays
November 22, 1963 the day our beloved 35th president John F. Kennedy was assissinated in Dallas, Texas by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald or so we told. My main question is did Oswald really act alone in the shooting of Kennedy? Was their another shooter that was not found, Could it have been the Soviets, Fidel Castro, The United States military, or Vice President Lydon B. Johnson the real culprit behind the assissination of Kennedy? Over the years new theories that Oswald was not the only shooter that day in Dallas, maybe Oswald was working with someone who felt that Kennedy was a threat and needed to be delt with. Let's look at Fidel Castro in Cuba, he had recently became allies with Russia and no longer allies with the United States.Did …show more content…
Nikita did have enough power to construct such a hit, there were Soviet spies in America living, talking and acting like United States citizens. Oswald was said to be one of those spies that worked for Khrushchev, there was enough evidence to say he worked against the United States because after Oswald served as a marine he moved to Soviet Russia. Did Nikita brainwash Oswald into hating the United States enough to move back and really kill the President. Maybe the Soviets did have something to do with it but the year of Kennedy's death was after the Cold War was over and there was still some heat between Russia and the United States for nuclear warfare so maybe he did not want to risk the chance of a full scale nuclear …show more content…
Kennedy. Maybe our own government killed Kennedy to stop him from running their own plans. Like the CIA, after Kennedy learned of the true meaning of the " Bay of Pigs" he declared that he will cut the CIA into a million pieces and scatter the across the world. So maybe they felt threatened by Kennedy's action that they had to take care of him to insure their survival. And was Lyndon B. Johnson the person who had ordered the hit on Kennedy? 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.…

    To assassinate the most powerful individual in the world takes more than one person in my opinion. I don’t believe that the Cubans or the Soviets were involved, however the way Kennedy handled those issues could have played a role in his death. I think if not the actual assassination but the cover up was a work of the U.S Government/FBI/CIA. I think its beyond strange that the murder of such an important person was handled the way it was. Even though, many people including myself, find it extremely hard to comprehend and digest the fact that my government could have a hand in murdering their own president; it’s not uncommon.…

    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).…
