While there have been several theroy's as to who assasinated President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 and I for one always was willing to look at any conspiracy theroy there was.  I have watched the Zapruter Film over and over again trying to see any little detail that could prove something.  They can establish where most of the spectators were when the shots were fired, either on movie film or by still photography.  No matter what I have studied it still points that Lee Harvey Oswald committed the crime.  The Motorcade's path was changed the day before the parade and it was at that point that Oswald saw that he had a chance to pull this off and planned the assasination all in one night and morning.  Until the day before the Motorcade it was not scheduled to drive through Delany Plaza and past the Texas Book Depository Building.  It was a point in history that changed the innocence of the country and brought us to the cynical people we are today about everything political and governmental.  It was one of those things in life that was one way before that and another after.  It changed a whole nation in 13 seconds and three shots.  What was before and what came after were two different ways of thinking about things.  Jack Ruby comes in 2 days later while we are all still numb and kills Oswald taking away forever the chance to know exactly why the Assasination took place at all.  There is no smoking gun hidden away here folks just one man who decided to change history.

Lee Harvey Oswald DID kill John F. Kennady, and this is why:\n\nThe Warren Commision conclusively proved that JFK was shot by a lone shooter, who was Lee Harvey Oswald. The Magic Bullet Theory answers conspiracy theorists' ideas of a second or third shooter, and it is definitly true because the USSS (United States Secret Service) has proved several thousand times over that the shot could easily happen. They have their own range that emulates the shooting exactly.\n\nMarine shooting requirements are very difficult. In order to make Marksman, the lowest decoration for rifle qualification, you need to hit and engage targets hundreds of yards out with a heavy rifle. At the time of Lee Harvey Oswald's service in the Marines they were probably using the M1 (a heavy rifle) or maybe the M14 (I don't know what years he was in the Marines). Thus, just because Lee Harvey Oswald couldn't qualify doesn't mean he was a bad shot, necessarily. Just to become a Marine you have to qualify...maybe he had a bad day.\n\nWitnesses claim they saw smoke rising from tall grass not far from JFK's motorcade, and some claim they heard more than three shots. But witnesses have proved time and again in criminal courts to be faulty, as their minds invent what their senses cannot divine. Countless times robberies have been remembered by people incorrectly, and security cameras see things right. \n\nIf JFK were assasinated by Carlos the Jackal (a famous terrorist), the Cuban Secret Service, or the Mafia, as the popular theories go, they would have used supressed weapons with flash supressors as well. All those forces are professionals and do have access to such weapons. There is no reason trained assasins wouldn't use weapons that could prevent their detection.\n\nJust because the rifle was poorly made doesn't mean that it's some kind of toy. Oswald was shooting downward from an angle, which is a fairly easy shot because the round goes low, not high, as is the problem with shooting upright or prone.

I don't think there was any conspiracy---------I think the Kennedy family was "hexed" possibly generations ago.  Regardless of all their fame and wealth, they have all suffered tragedy after tragedy from way back when.

Assasinations - John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King.  Vietnam War.  Man landing on the moon.  National Guard kills 4 student protesters at Kent State U.  The Beatles and rock music in general. There are zillions.

You left out Ted Kennedy...he allowed a woman to suffocate to death in the back seat of his car.

Castro assasinated JFK using Oswald, in retaliation for JFK trying to kill Castro via the Mob.  Oswald met with Cuban agents in Mexico City prior his day in Dallas.  Castro became aware of Oswald via KGB agents who became familiar with him while he lived in Russia.  The FBI tried to follow up on the Cuban connection during the Warren Commission investigation but were recalled by Central DC office for unknown reasons, and the leads were never fully investigated.  A recent documentary attempted to interview the alleged Cuban agent but his response only added to the idea that Cuba was behind the whole incident.\n\nArea 51 was where the Stealth fighters/bombers were first tested.  Most likely spot where alien ships may have been reversed engineered, but only rumors at this point.  In any event the site is highly classified.  The ground sensors around the base bring immediate response by armed military with orders to shoot to kill.

Lee Harvey Oswald. I know there are tons of conspiracy theories, but the Warren Commision conclusively proved the Magic Bullet Theory, and the Secret Service has replicated the exact shot taken perfectly countless times. \n\nThe Magic Bullet theory basically matches the amount of shots heard and casings found against the bullet wounds in JFK and the man riding next to him. There were more bullet wounds in the two men and in the car then there were shots fired, which is grounds for wild speculation, but the Warren Commision, the USSS, and other private ballistics scientists have shown that the bullets richocheted at a certain angle, causing the damage to occur.\n\nMost of the evidence against the Magic Bullet Theory is not enough to prove anything: all of it is from "eye witnesses", who saw puffs of smoke from tufts of grass and heard gunshots away from the Texas Book Depository where JFK was shot. However, if an assasinan like Carlos Sanchez "The Jackal" really did kill JFK, he would have used a rifle that fired a smokeless round. Professionals do not leave traces.\n\nWhat's more, eyewitnesses rarely are even accepted as concrete evidence in any court of law nowadays. In trials involving armed robberies gone wrong, where a store keeper is shot twice, eyewitnesses often report there being several shots, despite clear surveillance camera footage. The problem with human minds is that we invent things subconciously, or we forget things and invent details.\n\nIt was Lee Harvey Oswald that shot the President.

Here's a little part of US history which makes you sit up and go h-m-m-m-m-m-m-m............ \n\nAbraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. \nJohn F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. \n\nAbraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. \nJohn F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. \n\nThe names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. \n\nBoth were particularly concerned with civil rights. \nBoth wives lost children while living in the White House. \n\nBoth Presidents were shot on a Friday \nBoth Presidents were shot in the head. \n\nLincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. \nKennedy's secretary was named Lincoln. \n\nBoth were assassinated by Southerners \nBoth were succeeded by Southerners. \n\nBoth successors were named Johnson. \n\nAndrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. \nLyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. \n\nJohn Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. \nLee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. \n\nBoth assassins were known by their three names. \nBoth names are comprised of fifteen letters. \n\nLincoln was shot at the theater named "Kennedy". \nKennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln". \n\nBooth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse. \nOswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater. \n\nBooth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. \n\nAnd here's the kicker.... \n\nA week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland. \nA week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. Before Ike Eisenhower left office he warned of a dangerous unseen power wanting to control the govt. They helped to kill Kennedy after he refused to give air support to the Bay of Pigs invasion. Kennedy took the blame, but it was a covert CIA operation and he found out about it. He then refused to give air support and was deemed a threat to national security by the CIA and Military Industrial Complex. Go to google video and watch "kennedy assasins uncovered" by William Cooper. It explains the whole lot and will show you the real murderer.

The CIA, the mob, and Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald cannot be left out of the equation and plenty of non-military people are involved in covert doings.  However I think he was just the fall guy. Why did Jack Ruby kill him before he could say anything? John Kennedy was a threat to other political people. Robert Kennedy was a threat to the mob as Attorney General. The unions controlled by the mob, especially the teamsters, helped put Kennedy into power with their votes. When Bobby starting going after the mob they felt betrayed because Joe Kennedy was courting them behind the scenes to help elect John. The Warren Commission never had all the facts which makes their report a moot finding. I doubt we will ever know.

Actually the way this event was described and detailed by the Warren Commission makes me and a number of other reject the findings. I remain conviced it was nearly impossible to have killed Kennedy using that vantage point and that rifle. \n\nFirst off its a bolt action rifle with a box magazone equipped with a scope that had poor eye relief.  Getting off the number of shots Oswald would have been a one in 10,000 chance. \nThe car is moving away accellerating on a curve reaching speads of 35 mph and remember, the Zapruder film shows kennedy being hit forward, not the rear. \n\nOne Marine sniper with 45 ocnfirmed kills from Vietnam said even he could not have managed that kill from that position using that rifle and scope. \n\nOur government painted us a picture.
