Jfk Assassination Conspiracy Theories

November 22, 1963 will always be a day to remember. President John F. Kennedy was riding in a motorcade in Dallas Texas. Where he was shot twice, one in the back of the neck and the other hit him on the bottom right side of his head. The governor of Texas JOhn Connally was also struck by one of the bullets in the chest but he recovered from his injuries. The shooting took place at 12:30 and about 30 minutes after he was pronounced dead at the Park Memorial Hospital. Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath of office at 2:38 and continued to be president until 1969. The shooter was soon identified as former United States Marine, Lee Harvey Oswald, who was going to be convicted of assassinating the President. When he was on his way to the trial he was

The president was laid to rest Monday, November 26, 1963 in the Arlington National Cemetery. There are actually a lot on conspiracies to the reasoning behind the assassination but we will get to later on in the paper.

As i stated about there are many conspiracy theories about the assassination and why it happened. One of the theories is the “magic bullet theory”. Which basically means that one bullet went through Kennedy's body and hits Connally in the back then hitting him in the wrist and the leg. Which doesn’t make sense because no bullet can go through 2 bodys without exploding. Conspiracy theorist say the bullet basically stopped in mid-air and then hit Connally which doesn’t make sense because no bullet can just stop. Studies have shown that Connally was seated in a “jumpseat” which is about 3 inches lower than the President he was also about 6 inches inboard. With that information it

Kennedy that day. The way his head moved when the third bullet struck his head gave the conspiracy theorists reasons to believe that he was shot from the front instead of from the back where the second bullet it him from the 6th floor window where Oswald was apparently at where he shot the President. It should also be noted that there is evidence stating that there was more than one shooter. In a film there is what could be smoke from a rifle or another gun farther up the road but it could also just be a food stand such a hotdog stand. As crazy as it may seem another conspiracy theory says that Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson had the President killed for a rise in political power. Before Kennedy was elected Johnson attempted to take the democratic nomination from Kennedy in the 1960 Democratic Convention. In a book “The Death of a President” Johnson asked Kennedy to continue to do his job as Texas senator. Rumors also stated that Johnson name may be dropped of the list for re-nomination the next election period. It was also was apparently an unstable political climate to be in at the time and Johnson failed to tell the President this before he was in the state. But studies have shown that that conspiracy theory was in anyway true. One of the other theories state that the Russians were behind the assassination.Since there was tension between the two countries. Theorist believe that Oswald was acting
