Why Did Kennedy Assassinated Jfk

Improved Essays
There are many conspiracies about who actually assassinated John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The primary belief is that Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy while he was driving in a motorcade in Dallas. I also believe that this is true but I believe Oswald did not act on his own accord for a variety of reasons.
Likewise, I believe that Oswald was attempting to aid the USSR in his assassination on Kennedy. Oswald was a former marine who was discharged and tried to gain citizenship in Russian so ties with the USSR could have been created (History Channel). Getting rid of Kennedy was definitely a benefit to the communist especially since Kennedy was spearheading things such as the space race and greatly influenced the outcome of Cuba.
Furthermore, Oswald

    The "Los Angeles Times" writes, "Howard found a little green address book, and on its 17th page under the heading 'I WILL KILL' Oswald listed four men: an FBI agent named James Hosty; a right-wing general, Edwin Walker; and Vice President Richard Nixon. " If Oswald REALLY wanted to kill JFK, he would have listed his name. The same article said, " At the top of the list was the governor of Texas, John Connally."

Those 2 probably had something to do with the mob. Oswal´s job was to kill the president and if he did it wrong then Jack Ruby was to kill him.…

    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…

    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.…

    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. Next, Jack Ruby kills Oswald in the basement of the Police Headquarters before he is moved to the county jail. 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. Finally, Oswald was involved with many groups with the motives and means to attack the president while in Dallas. Oswald was heavily involved in the Soviet Union throughout his entire life.…
