John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, is assassinated while traveling through Dallas, Texas, in an open-top convertible. This was the headline in every newspaper and tabloid, November 23rd 1963, the day following Kennedy’s assassination.
John F. Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on May 29th 1917 to one of America’s wealthiest families. John F. Kennedy was successful in almost everything he did. He went to Harvard, where he majored in government and international relation. In 1941 Kennedy joined the U.S. Navy …show more content…

There is a widespread speculation that John F. Kennedy's assassination was a conspiracy. In fact there are so many conspiracy theories that the government’s almost sounds convincing “ – lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald fired three bullets from a nearby building, striking Mr. Kennedy and Gov. John B. Connally Jr. of Texas” (Victor, 2017). The government liked this theory so much “government investigators released an 888-page report on the assassination, forming the official explanation of the events. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president” (Victor, 2017). It placed no blame on other suggested theories like the Chicago Mafia, the New Orleans Mafia, The CIA, or the Cuba and Soviet …show more content…

At the time of Kennedy's assassination it was theorized that the CIA and the Mafia were working together to oust the Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro. People also believe that at that time the Mafia wanted to oust John F Kennedy because CIA agents and members of the Mafia were angry at Kennedy's appeasement policies toward communist Cuba and the Soviet Union. Working together in the sense that the CIA planted Oswald and the Mafia did all the dirty work. It was in fact the CIA and Mafia who killed JFK. Which sounds somewhat more believable then the governments “magic bullet” theory that states, “a single bullet — derisively referred to as a “magic bullet” — struck both Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Connally” (Victor,

Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln can be simply be explained by being nothing more nor better than chance.

The data that I researched has also been a coincidences between many other former Presidents.

The mafia was the most powerful criminal organization in the world. The reason for this belief was that Jack Ruby, the man who shot Oswald, had ties with the mafia. One of the reasons that the mafia could have had reason to murder the president was that his brother, Robert Kennedy, who was also the attorney general, had been acting quite aggressively against some of the mafia bosses. Robert also led a strong campaign against the mafia. Many believe that the mafia saw that getting rid of Kennedy would also get rid of his brother, since there would have to be a new administration after his death, and Robert would have to be replaced.

Some people can argue that the conspiracy of Lee Harvey Oswald did not act as a lone gunman. The main controversy for many Americans for years is what was the motives that driven Oswald to take down a beloved world leader. According to the New York Times, a friend of Oswald’s wife, Priscilla McMillian, made a statement that Oswald did not hate Kennedy, but rather dislike how the government system was running as a capitalism country and it was tragic that Kennedy supported how the United States was running that led Oswald to assassinate JFK. There is a possibility that Oswald was not a lone gunman because JFK was shot twice in two different areas, the first bullet was shot from the right side of his back and the second bullet was fired, aiming on the right side of his head causing a fatal wound that his head was almost blown. Having two bullets shot at two different places in Kennedy’s body provide a key evidence that Oswald had helped from a second

The reason the oil prices spiked briefly during Hurricane Irene is because the supply of oil nationwide was going to reduce because of the closure of some oil refineries that were along the path of the hurricane. The closed refineries at that time had a production capacity of approximately a million barrels per day. This meant that the market supply of oil reduced significantly, causing the oil prices to soar because of a shortage in oil supply. After the refineries were opened, when Hurricane Irene had passed, the supply steadily went back to the normal market supply, this resulted in the gradual price reduce of oil. There are other products that experienced an increase in prices as the oil prices increased.

The Mafia Theory is another conspiracy theory surrounding Kennedy's assassination. It's based on the idea that Kennedy's brother Robert Kennedy was trying to get rid of organized crime, which caused the Mafia to retaliate. The theory goes that the Mafia sends hitmen to take care of Kennedy, with Lee Harvey Oswald being just a cover-up. There's a lot of evidence to back this up, like the fact that the man who shot Oswald, Jack Ruby, had connections to organized crime, but there's no real proof that the Mafia killed Kennedy. I find the Mafia Theory to be the more credible one.

The killer Lee Harvey Oswald who was an american sniper. Is it conspiracy or actual true that it was a lone gunman? Many articles, book, and people say it was a conspiracy by the FBI which I agree for many reason.
