Conspiracy Theories On American Assassination

372 Words2 Pages

As the president's limousine passes the Texas School Book Depository, shots are fired from a sixth floor window. The wire services at the time reported that three shots were fired hitting the president and one striking the governor, this subject seems so incredibly documented that much of the conspiracy theories seem like happenstance or the normal reactionary panic that seems to be common in very media oriented societies; and the fact that all of the footage and personally owned cameras were confiscated right after the assassination does lead to the ensuing hysteria over the decades over this assassination, when the simple fact is that the government needed all of the evidence possible to find out and document what had actually occurred.

    Johnson theory is credible. In many video tapes of President John F. Kennedy being shot, viewers see that the bullets hit him from different angles. This must mean that there is more than one shooter, because it would be impossible for one shooter to hit Kennedy from two different angles in a moving car. Another way this theory is credible is that Johnson’s mistress, Madeleine Duncan Brown, has said that on the eve of Kennedy’s assassination, he said “After tomorrow those... Kennedys will never embarrass me again.

    It’s the year 1976, the United States Senate has just called for a new inquiry into the infamous assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in 1963 during his own motorcade in Dallas, TX while running for re-election. The CIA along with the FBI were coaxed into releasing new documents on Lee Harvey Oswald, and individuals who had not given evidence previously were persuaded to come forward. Pieces of evidence such as sound recordings and photographs were being subjected to scientific research analysis using more modern equipment. In 1979 the House Select Committee on Assassinations, or (HCSA), finally came to a verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald shot three times at the president; one of which, hitting his head and killing him. It was also concluded that a fourth shot was taken from ‘the grassy knoll’, which was something that was contradicting to the statement given by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier.

    The confusion, shock, and pandemonium at the scene of the crime can hardly be overstated. Amidst the sensory assault of roaring motorcycles, wailing sirens, and the highly animated throng cheering the arrival of President John F. Kennedy and his elegant wife, Jacqueline, one of the most momentous events of the 20th century occurred in mere seconds. Eyewitness perceptions varied wildly. Some thought shots had come from behind the limousine (the vicinity of the Book Depository), while others thought they came from in front or from the right side (the grassy knoll) three witnesses thought the shots sounded as if they came from right inside the President 's car. One witness erroneously thought a bystander was shot in the foot and fell down.

    A famous home movie of the shooting allowed the timing of Kennedy’s progress along the road to be accurately determined. As Kennedy’s car passed the Texas School Book Depository, it was hidden at first from the sixth–floor window by a large oak tree. There was a period of just under six seconds between the car becoming visible to anyone in the easternmost sixth–floor window and the moment of the fatal head shot. The fact that Oswald encountered reliable witnesses on the second floor shortly after the shooting meant that he would have had to leave the sixth floor immediately after the head shot. The third constraint is that if every shot was fired by Oswald from the easternmost sixth–floor window, all the shooting must have taken place within six seconds.

    Five days after the Confederacy’s surrender, John Wilkes Booth had successfully killed one of the most influential presidents in American history to do what he believed would redeem power to the southern states. Booth’s main goal was to tear down the Union’s government by taking down their leader and his successors, but the original plan did not involve the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Historian Christopher Hammer explained in his article "Booth's Reason for Assassination", the former actor had created a group of co conspirators and designed "a ploy on March 17 to capture Lincoln as he traveled in his carriage [and had] collapsed when the president changed his itinerary—and several of Booth’s conspirators ultimately left the group.” (Teaching History).
