The girl from VH-1? I guess because she got fat.

Well, in my mind, the CIA had the whole thing planned.  If you ever get the chance, go to Dallas.  Stand where Lee Harvey Oswald stood, and then things will become a lot clearer.  It's not just the folks that were on the Warren Commision. I was really awe struck to stand there, and see the evidence that was swept under the rug.  I believe that Oswald had a hand in it, however, he was told when to shoot.  And if you go there, you will understand that whole idea.  I really don't have the jazz to give you the ins and outs on what happened that day, all of which is documented.  Let me know... I'll offer some insight as to what is on my mind.

President Kennedy upset some VERY powerful people in the USA. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that the President is the most powerful person in the country.\n\nLee Harvey Oswald was a pawn working for someone else and had to be killed.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. A member of the politically prominent Irish-American Kennedy family, he is considered an icon of American liberalism. During World War II, he was cited for exceptional bravery rescuing fellow sailors in the South Pacific. Kennedy served his home state of Massachusetts in Congress 1947-60, as both a member of the House of Representatives and as U.S. Senator. He was elected President in 1960 in one of the closest elections in history.\n\nMajor events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, early events of the Vietnam War, and the American Civil Rights Movement. In rankings of U.S. presidents, historians usually grade Kennedy above average, but among the general public he is often regarded as among the greatest presidents. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Official investigations later determined Lee Harvey Oswald to be the culprit. His assassination is considered one of the most defining moments in U.S. history because of its traumatic impact on the entire nation, its impact on the political history of the ensuing decades, Kennedy's status as an icon for a new generation of Americans and American aspirations, and for the mystery and allegations of conspiracy that surround it.

President Kennedy.\nI was alive but in grammar school. I remeber him being shot and they put it on he black and white over head tv's. Everyone was crying so I did too. I did not quite understand it but I heard all the hoopla about his death. The teachers were shocked.\nThey dismissed us early that day.\n\nI wish I had been older than 8. Because I would have remembered so much more. It was a sad sad day in history. And his death was horific, being shot in front of so many people, broad daylight, in front of his wife. No one deserved that.

He would not.  if the C I A put him up to be a fall guy, while agency spooks did the real killing, they could have him murdered in the basement of the Dallas County Jail, and arrange for his killer to conveniently die, alone, incommunicado.  That rifle, a bolt-action with poor eye-relief, would never have been used as the weapon that killed JFK.  I find it interesting how Kennedy was shot from a forward angle.  Not from behind, so why would he ? \nGood quesion.

No one has said that the bullet was not fired by Oswald's rifle. That's pretty clear. The question is, did that bullet hit JFK AND Governor Conolly, or just Governor Conolly, and no ballistics tests are going prove or disprove that. Conspiracy theorists believe that JFK was actually killed by another bullet, fired by a man on a grassy knoll, but that the government covered it up by saying that the bullet that hit Conolly had killed JFK. That the bullet does not exist of course fuels this conspiracy theory all the more, despite the fact that if the theory is wrong, it shouldn't have existed in the first place.

I think she was murdered because she couldn't keep her mouth shut about the Kennedy's.

At the time of President Kennedy's assasination, there was speculation that the government itself was involved.  There also was speculation that Lyndon Johnson may have had something to do with it, or the Mafia, or Fidel Castro, or the unions, and the list goes on.  Evidently Mr. Kennedy stepped on a few toes along the way, so it's hard to know if there was a conspiracy.  The Warren Commission said there was no conspiracy, but then, just how deeply did they really dig to get to the truth?  We may never know the answer to your question!

It's so interesting how you asked that. You said "current opinion." They mystery behind his assassination is just that......a mystery. So theories and conclusions have been drawn and studies and research into the magic bullet are still being evaluated. As a result, our own opinions seem to change as often as the investigation. When Oliver Stone's movie came out, we all began to "pick a little, talk a little" about Johnson's involvement. Cuba's involvement..........the mafia's involvement......... Marilyn's old boyfriend's involvement...........and the list goes on and on. When a country has an trauma as extreme as JFK's assasination, we need answers. When we don't have straight out answers, we create theories, when the theories don't always pan out, we create more theories. So here I've gone on a ramble about agreeing with your words and didn't even answer your question. My current opinion...........I don't know. *sigh*

It doesn't matter! He's a Kennedy. He could get away with murder if he tried.

Okay...JFK was murdered by a combination of CIA, Mossad, French Intelligence and the Mafia on behalf of the military industrial complex. In a nutshell: JFK was a bit too reactionary for the m/i c; he wanted to make too many reforms. In his own words, he wanted to "smash the CIA into a thousand pieces" over their Cuban faux pas. He sacked the Director of CIA, Allen Dulles, shortly before he was assassinated. Allen Dulles, funnily enough, ended up being one of the members of the -you guessed it- Warren Commission! \nNow, it is no big secret that JFK's dad used his influence with the mafia -particularly a mobster named Sam Giancana- to get Jack elected. Which is all very well and good, even though the Kennedy's had every intention of double crossing the mob, especially when Bobby, as Attourney General, went after them. But JFK's biggest mob related mistake was screwing around with Giancana's mistress. That was the last straw. \nSo Kennedy had to go. It was at the hands of the military industrial complex, BUT they needed some help with the operation. This is where Mossad and French intelligence come in. \nAs for Lee Harvey Oswald...he really was a patsy. I think he constitutes the mafia connection. But no way was he the "lone gunman". Let's consider some of the forensic evidence, shall we?\nJFK was hit three times. The first was to the throat. This bullet came from the front, as even the Zapruder film shows. The second bullet came from behind, and was most likely the one fired by LHO. This is the supposed "magic bullet" that went through Kennedy and into Gov. Connally. The third fatal head shot also came from the front. Eyewitness reports from Dealey Plaza (which were, of course supressed by the media) claim that two or three men with guns were seen hanging around the...Grassy Knoll! Most people considered them to be Secret Service Agents. Oh, yes...Bernard Barker, a CIA agent who would gain infamy nine years later as one of the Watergate burglars, was also on the scene. Possibly overseeing the op. Guess who else happened to be in Dallas on Novemeber 22nd? Richard Nixon! Could be a coincidence...\nSo, long story short, JFK was killed because he was stepping on waaaaay too many toes. And when you do that, you're gone. Some people say it was a failed coup. Not quite. The JFK assassination was more or less personal, not business, as Michael Corleone ("The Godfather") would put it...\nCheck out the following books:

Well whats wrong with the north?They have a murderer in the Senate by the name of Ted Kennedy.Dont forget Mary Jo was pregnant when he let her drown.Guess he didnt want to do the honorable thing and marry her,she was good enough to have sex with but not good enough for the Kennedy stature?\n\nSo when one doesnt measure up to the Kennedy stature,or if one causes problems for the Kennedy's,they conviently die..,look at Marilyn Monroe.

We tried to kill Castro in the Bay of Pigs fiasco under the Kennedy administration. At that point in history, he was a threat to the US because Cuba was communist and only lies 90 miles from our door step.  Kennedy's plan in the Bay of Pigs was to land Cuban refugees to kill Castro, but the plan failed miserably because as soon as the refugees land in Cuba, the local Cubans came running up and massacered them.  Thus, part of the answer to your question is that we haven't killed him because his people won't let us kill him.  Also, now we don't really see the need to kill him because he is no longer a threat.  The Soviet Union collapsed so Cuba doesn't have anyone to back it up against the US.  The embargos the US placed on Cuba have held him in check too because Cuba has remained one of the poorest nations in the world due to the fact that it can't trade with the US.  If you go to Cuba, you only see cars from the 1970s and things like band aids are rationed.  The US still maintains a watchful eye on Castro, aka Guantanamo Bay, but the need to take him out has subsided.

Not really possible unless evidence surfaces that he intentionally killed her.\nIn legal terms, the trick is that Kennedy would be tried for the crime using the laws on the books at the time. And the laws of that time did not really go after people for accidents associated with drunk driving.\nLaws are seldom created with a retroactive clause.\nEven by todays standards, he would probably only be charged with maybe a negligent homicide tied to a dui.

The mother of all coverups: I think the Cubans were behind JFK's assassination.  Castro was getting back at JFK for his involvement in trying to get the American Mafia to assassinate him.  The Russian connection, helped give the Cubans the patsy they needed (in the form of Oswald) to carry out the job.  A week before the assassination, Oswald met with a Cuban agent in Mexico City.  The FBI was following up on this lead during the Warren Commission investigation, but the FBI agents were recalled on orders from their HQ office in DC.  Ruby had all sorts of connections with the Mafia, including Marcello and Giancana.  But why did the US Govt keep the Russian, Cuban and Mafia connection out of the limelight, what is the truth?
