The 1960’s were a time of glitz, glamor, and change. It includes events such as the Cuban missile crisis, civil rights movement, colored television, and the infamous space race. In this era there was also the death of Hollywood's most notorious leading lady, Marilyn Monroe. She was famous for her roles in the movies “Gentlemen prefer Blondes” and “The Seven Year Itch”. On August 5th, 1962, Marilyn was found dead in her bed surrounded by her opened prescription pill bottles, prescribed to her previously for her insomnia. Her housekeeper found her at around 4am that morning, dead, and called her doctor straight away. Her doctor then deemed her death a suicide almost instantaneously, instigating no further investigation (Did Marilyn Really Kill …show more content…
There is evidence to claim that Marilyn herself documented state-classified secrets while partaking in the relationship, one being the planned assasination of Fidel Castro (Marilyn Murdered). With learning about these government agendas, she recorded them in an alleged diary lost to the media long ago. With this classified information acquired, JFK and RFK were worried about Marilyn’s indiscretion, and what she’d do with the newly received information (Staff, Us Weekly). The Kennedy’s didn’t want this affair to become a public spectacle, yet Marilyn wanted it to become common knowledge. When RFK threatened to end the affair, Marilyn threatened to release the classified information uncovered during the affair, and make it public. This already would be sufficient enough to mark both JFK and RFK as suspects in the case, since they obviously had a deep-rooted …show more content…
Her doctor was named Hyman Engelberg and treated more than 100 hollywood celebrities including herself. Because of his popularity, it would have been quite easy to get a hold of him by the Attorney General of the USA, Robert F Kennedy. The locations of the doctor, the Kennedys, and Marilyn Monroe perfectly line up to where the Kennedy brothers could have easily gotten a hold of Marilyn’s doctor to have her prescriptions laced with an untraceable drug like Oxycodone, which began its rise in popularity in the early 1960s. This drug is one of many untraceable drugs that are unseeable on a standard Opiate Drug test, therefore unseeable on a toxicology report. Once she got her prescription refilled that day, the laced pills would have taken effect later that night to early that next morning. You’re probably asking, “What about the consequences of partaking in a murder?” Well, if it was a favor from the United States government, then who was powerful enough to say no, especially if it's from the Attorney General of the United States of America to an ordinary medical physician.
In the end, however, when Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her house early that morning her doctor investigated the body and deemed her death as suicide (Marilyn Murdered). There was no further investigation after the doctor’s verdict, which likely suggests that his word was
“ In the 1964 election, there was thought that Kennedy might replace Johnson as Vice President. ”“Johnson’s political career was being threatened by a corruption scandal.” The U.S. Policy on Cuba was considered not tough enough by most anti-Castro Cubans. Because Kennedy did not follow through on the invasion of Cuba at the Bay of the Pigs they think this is why this happened. The FBI wiretraps and informers proved senior mafia people spoke of their dislike toward the Kennedy brothers, who had forced the FBI and other agencies to take action against mobsters. The House Select Committee on Assassinations had info on the theory that the mafia killed JFK.
The assassination of former president John F. Kennedy was a tragic event that left citizens across the United States in grief, shock, and disbelief. The tragedy became the subject of controversy as speculations of a political conspiracy involving the CIA, the Mafia, or the Soviet Union surround the assassination. Some people began to distrust and criticize the Warren Commission’s report of the investigation of events regarding Kennedy’s death. Some conspiracy theorists assert that the assassination was not the act of a lone gunman as reported, and they cite evidence in the theories of the “magic bullet” and the grassy knoll. Fred Kaplan, a journalist, refutes these prominent conspiracy theories in his article “Killing Conspiracy.”
One theory is that,the mafia had a deep hatred for John kennedy and it intensified when he became president (Jeffrey Waggoner).The Mafia has a reason to kill JFK,”The mafia wanted John Kennedy out of office for one reason: He was bad for business”(Jeffrey Waggoner). The mafia’s routine is to murder people who cause problems with their plans(Jeffrey Waggoner). The Mafia have a motive to murder JFK, and supposedly had a plan to do so. The Mafia admitted to having a plot to kill Kennedy (Jeffrey Waggoner).
As the plot continues, we start to learn the small details of Marilyn’s life. She says, “I haven’t seen [Gerry] for so long, and I didn’t want to wait another year when I could see him now…” (3). All she wanted to do was see her brother, she didn’t do anything wrong. She is just a young, naive girl who didn’t know what she was doing. “If you make me leave the ship, I’ll die” (5).
With the many conspiracy theories revolving around the JFK assassination, many of the conspiracies make sense. The multiple gunmen conspiracy, Lyndon B. Johnson conspiracy, C.I.A conspiracy, and the Cuban government theory all have very valid points as to why they could be true. To Begin, the final story given
While in the motorcade through Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1962, Lee Harvey Oswald brutally assassinated President John F. Kennedy, the youngest president to take office. John F. Kennedy struggled through his early life due to serious illness but overcoming this obstacle, he is one of the greatest Presidents in American history. After the president’s death, many of the American people started wondering how true the facts offered by the media were regarding the assassination of the President. Because of the feeling of dishonesty, the media caused major conspiracy theories surrounding the death of the President. These conspiracy theories did not stop the great praise and mourning surrounding the president, considered as a martyr that died
Since the assassination of John F. Kennedy (J.F.K), many conspiracy theories have evolved. More recently, conspiracists have sparked new interest in Kennedy’s death involving the supposed shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald. Focus has shifted to the belief that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was also involved in the assassination of JFK. Many witnesses have come forward to say that there is no real possibility of Oswald being the lone gunman. Part of the JFK conspiracy is that the CIA was involved in the assassination and its cover-up as well.

The Kennedy family has been theorized to have murdered people who find out too much about their family and endeavors. They have blanketed their crimes through their power and wealth, causing the theory that they
Brian Hernandez Prof. Cicirelli CM-115-02 11/30/15 JFK Assassination Many conspiracies have taken place within government, but none of them have been more serious then JFK assassination. When JFK had fired its director and other agents, the CIA was scared that Kennedy would take down the CIA permently, he believed to be an extremely terrible agency under the government. The shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, who was in the marines at one point was planted into the biggest CIA camp somewhere in the Asian pacific and had been wanting to attend the CIA. Apparently he was the guy for the job. Many critics say that Lee Harvey Oswald might have been brain washed by the CIA.
Johnson’s mistress, Madeleine Duncan Brown, admitted that Johnson said that he would get revenge on the Kennedys if it was the last thing he would do. He stated, “After tomorrow, those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again -- that's NOT a threat -- that's a promise.” Brown swears that Johnson and several other men were behind the assassination of JFK. She even wrote a book about the subject, but it never became famous. Alongside with Brown, Jackie Kennedy (JFK’s wife) and Robert Kennedy (JFK’s brother) have both said that they believe LBJ had Kennedy murdered.
In order to help the media to “convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin,” the Warren Commission was obliged to describe in detail how Oswald, without assistance, was able to kill one man and injure two others. If any of these statements were contradicted by the balance of the evidence, Oswald could not have committed the crime alone. The Warren Commission attempted to deal with these constraints by devising what became known as the single–bullet theory. All three of their points have been proven to be almost impossible, the only real explanation is simple: there had to be a second
Also, some people believe that the CIA was engaged in modifying or destroying evidence that was crucial to the assassination. According to Jill Kauffman, “ … there was a great deal of evidence that a second gunman had fired at Kennedy. They accused the Warren Commission and representatives of government agencies, such as the CIA that testified before it, of having covered up any evidence that contradicted the theory that there had been only one gunman” (Kauffman). The CIA had motives for withholding information including all the firings that Kennedy ordered within the CIA that came as a result of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. The theory states that CIA officials were in fact directly involved in planning and carrying out the assassination.
She walked past the sign that said “UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP OUT,” absentmindedly not thinking about the true consequences of her actions. The last quote is when she was talking to Barton about the protocol with more intel. “There isn't enough fuel for me to stay; when I hid on this ship I got into something I didn't know about and now I have to pay for it.” Once Marilyn learned that it was either her life or 7 others she decided to sacrifice her life. She became more accepting of the consequence and even said her good-bys.
“The truth is, I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let them fool themselves, because they didn't bother to find out who I really or what i really was.” Quoted by famous singer,dancer, actress, and model Marilyn Monroe.
