what is an example of a crazy jfk assassination theory?

Check out the book "Mortal Error" ... despite some great forensics the punchline was a gun going off accidentally in the following car creating the fatal (although not the only) shot.

We'll never know the truth-a lot of records needed are sealed until 2050. Seems there's something they don't want us to know. There's so many theories and I know someone did murder the President besides Oswald. To make it more confusing, I saw some stuff on LBJ-there's a video of his mistress of 20 years that was pretty believable. And documents to back that up. I know there were plenty that didn't like JFK and it was probably a combination of theories. The LBJ theory has a few points in its' favor. LBJ was part of a powerful wealthy group of mostly Texas Oil guys. Some interesting names that include Nixon. LBJ became president and the oil guys got some handsome oil subsidies that JFK wanted to get rid of. There are those(including McNamara, JFK's Defense secretary) that felt JFK would never have escalated Vietnam. To make it weirder,, Bobby Kennedy probably would have been President in '69 but was also assasinated, and Nixon became President instead. I'll watch the other video-seems big oil sure could've been a factor.

Well JFK was notified by a crying Jeane Dixon on the steps of the White House that he was cursed, and should NOT go to Dallas.  The arrogant prick died, so there ya go.  He had ample warning of his impending doom and still died.  The only way psychics can save people is if the persons believe in what is being said, and choose to alter their paths. \n\nAnd again, if a disaster is avoided by taking a different path, you will never know, because the disaster never happened.  \n\nI just found a website that says she did NOT predict JFK's death, so I guess there will be disagreement about that.  Since I was not alive in 1963, I can't really say from personal experience.\n\nAnother thing I need to mention about metaphysical advice--there are so many darn quacks out there. You must be careful.  I recommend being very clear in a relationship with the supreme being, or God, or whoever it is you think is at the core of the universe, to help you find an adviser that can truly help you.

I believe Oswald acted alone.\n\nIn 1962, Kennedy tried to secretly sent out assassins to kill Castro. Some believe word slipped to one of Castro's men. Maybe the tables turned.\nBut, I believe Oswald acted alone, but out of hatred that Kennedy tried to kill Castro. Oswald looked up to Castro and his beliefs for Communism. When Oswald was in the service, he had pretty good shot with a gun.\n\nThat morning on November 22nd, Oswald was driving a friend to work. His friend looked in his backseat and asked what the long thing was lying there, covered by a green sheet. \n"Some rods." He responded. There was no other talking after that.\nThat comment always made me wonder...\n~Nikki

There is not just one conspiracy theory, there are many. And every year a new one emerges as well. They all pretty much all have one thing in common and that is that Oswald didn't act alone.

Boy did you open a can of worms!\n\nThe Kennedy assassination is one of the favorite of conspiracy theorist (notice I did not say nut cases).  The theories range from LBJ (totally assinine) to the Mafia (more belivable).  They also include Cubans (espcially with Oswalds connections), the CIA (no one ever asked why, they just say the CIA did it), to just some nutcase (it may be true, but can you prove it).\n\nThe real reason will probably never be discovered, but as long as people ask questions, that will be one that will be asked.

The phrase came from the investigation into President John F. Kennedy's assassination. The "magic bullet" theory was in the Warren Commission's report. It was a theory that had a single bullet inflicting multiple wounds on President Kennedy and Gov. John Connally of Texas. The "magic bullet" was then found without any damage supposedly after falling out of Gov. Connally at the hospital. This theory defies every thing man knows about physics and ballistics and is a common reason people believe there was a cover up involved in the assassination.

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*

I was in untero. I am a Texan. My Grandmother was pregnant with her last child and Mother was pregnant with me. My grandmother is a piece of work! She used to write Jackie O. and JFK everyday. She would provide a fashion ruling for Jackie O's clothing and a report on how she thought the country should be run to JFK. Faithfully, she did this. Every day. And she even wrote Jack Ruby every single day while he was in prison. She sent him alot of things because a maniac shot her hero. We have the "Jack Ruby Letters" and one signed letter from JFK himself (wet sig) and one letter from Jackie (wet sig). This is how devoted she was (then she moved on to the Governor of New Mexico). Well, she found out that The President would be in Dallas. She and Mother drove to Dallas the night before and got a hotel room near the area where the procession would be. Grandma had her Kodak and was ready to snap pics but she never got any. The next day two pregnant women found a spot where the motorcade would pass though with the most advantageous view. This happened to be the grassy knoll. Well, here comes the motor cade with the smiling pres and wife. They saw it all. Mother and Grandma had no reaction within the first few seconds. They were shocked to the bone. My Mother snapped out of it first and was looking to see if there was a place to duck for cover. The shock was likely less than ten seconds but it seemed like like forever, Mother said. She got Grandma down on the ground and they curled up like twins. BUT~ they both saw a figure in the window at the Texas Book Depository. Later they issued statements, formally. But they laid there in shock and horror and feared for their safety. They finally moved, two pregnant women, into an ambulance to check the babies. My "Aunt" was born a bit early and I was right on time. Note~ That was the last time Grand Daddy let Grandma go off so far. He didn't scare easily but his Wife, First Child (Mother), Last Baby (my Aunt), and First Grandchild (Me) could have been injured or dead.

I've seen several different "conspiracy theory" vidoes and I did some poking around on the Web to see what I could find. Here's a very interesting article you should check out:\n\nhttp://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html?page=1

Actually nobody knows who did it.\n\nThe Conspiracy...\n\nThe Conspiracy\n\nDealey Plaza\n\nWhat about those witnesses? Didn't everyone hear shots from the Grassy Knoll? What about the Tague wounding? Who was the "Umbrella Man?" Was the rifle recovered really a Mauser? Does "acoustic evidence" show a shot from the Grassy Knoll? Were the Three Tramps suspicious? How could Kennedy's head go "back and to the left?" \n\nThe Single Bullet Theory\n\nYou've seen Kevin Costner give the conspiracy version of the Single Bullet theory. You know: Connally seated directly in front of Kennedy, at the same height, and facing straight ahead. Was that really what happened? \n\nLee Harvey Oswald\n\nWhat sort of person was he? Did he really have "Top Secret" security clearance? Did he shoot at General Walker? Were there two Oswalds? If Oswald shot Kennedy, what was his motive? Was the man exhumed in 1981 really somebody besides Oswald? \n\nJim Garrison and New Orleans\n\nDid Oswald really share an office with Guy Banister? Did Clay Shaw really use the alias "Clay Bertrand?" Why did Oliver Stone make a movie about the Shaw trial and not even mention Perry Raymond Russo? Did David Ferrie die a "mysterious death?" What about Jim Garrison and the Mafia? \n\nMedical Evidence\n\nDid the bullet that hit Kennedy in the back penetrate only an inch and fall out? Was Kennedy hit in the head by a bullet from in front? Are the autopsy photos and x-rays faked? Did all the doctors at Parkland Hospital believe that Kennedy was hit in the front of the neck, and if so, are their opinions decisive evidence that that is what happened? Was the back of Kennedy's head blown out? Are the autopsy photos faked? \n\nBogus Evidence\n\nDid you know that all the evidence in this case proven to be forged has been on the conspiracy side? One key piece originated with the KGB! Did you know that the "mysterious deaths" are virtually all not so "mysterious" when you look at them closely? Do you trust authors like Mark Lane to tell you the truth about what witnesses said? \n\nJack Ruby\n\nThe "lone nut" theory of the assassination is really the "two lone nuts" theory. What sort of person was Jack Ruby? A mobster? An intelligence agent? A small-time hustler? The sort of volatile character who might really have shot Oswald out of righteous anger? \n\nOliver Stone's Movie "JFK"\n\nWe expect Hollywood movies to take some liberties with the historical record. But what do we think when Hollywood turns history on its head? Oliver Stone wants to overturn the verdict in the Clay Shaw trial. The jury found that District Attorney Jim Garrison had no case — so Stone invents a case on celluloid. Just how honest was Oliver Stone, Shaw's Hollywood prosecutor? \n\nJohn Kennedy: Liberal Martyr?\n\nFor some in the conspiracy crowd, John Kennedy was a liberal saint, who was going to implement policies that would bring America into a new Utopia. So, of course, a threatened Power Elite had to kill him. Was Kennedy the kind of left liberal who threatened established interests? Was he a hero of Civil Rights? Had he decided to pull out of Vietnam? Historian Eric Paddon dissects these claims in a series of essays based on his posts on the Internet. \n\nAssassination Logic\n\nSome notions about logic, probability and statistics necessarily underlie all discussion of "conspiracy" or "lone assassin." Does the lone assassination theory involve too many implausible "coincidences?" Are there a suspicious number of "connections" between various figures in the case? Is the Single Bullet Theory highly "improbable?" \nAssassination Witnesses\nIt writings about the assassination, as in real-world criminal justice, witness testimony looms large. But just how reliable are the witnesses? How many witnesses are just flat out telling tall

the lone gunman theory is a crock.  there's no way that all those shots, from all those angles came in 6 seconds.  \n\nphysicists have shown it to be scientifically impossible.  the blows to jfk's body can be seen to come from different directions, right there on the videotape.  \n\nthere's a lot of people who wanted jfk dead, so the investigation has been cloudy.\n\nwhat is interesting however, is that when Oswald was arrested, there was NO INTERROGATION.  They didn't make a record, record a transcript, or make notes of ANYTHING they did with him.\n\nHe was in custody for a few hours, then he conviently gets murdered before he can talk, and give information to anybody.

I believe there are, but far more reported than actually exist. The most popular one at the moment maybe The Princess Diana-Dodi Fayed accident,Marylin Monroe, John F.Kennedy , Abraham Lincoln are some examples. It is human nature to question after all and that is how these start some just have a life all their own. Lots to disuss on this topic for sure.:)

That's a wonderful Idea! Dead "EYE" DICK could run point, and maybe "BUSH" could get shot from standing behind "Chaney" too. How do you shoot someone that is standing behind you for DUMMY"S is on the shelves, of all the news stands all over the World. That wouldn't be an Assassination either, since Chaney wasn't charged for the involuntary manslaughter, for shooting his lawyer. Poor people go to prison for that in my State.

I can believe that Oswald might have taken a few shots at the motorcade, but I don't believe he was the only person in Dallas assigned to kill Kennedy.  It's a fact that he deliberately took a menial job at one of the prime locations for a sniper's nest in Dealey Plaza.  Oswald did have marksmanship training in the Marines and held a serious grudge against Kennedy for his Cuban and Russian policies.\n\nHaving said all that, I believe Oswald was duped into believing he was the sole person responsible for carrying out the assassination.  Whoever orchestrated the hit probably assigned another team to make sure the job was done right and Oswald didn't nerve out at the last minute.  One of these men was hiding near the grassy knoll, probably in a Ghillie suit to look like the ground.  He wouldn't necessarily have to run away during the ensuing chaos- he probably sat perfectly still until he could slip out unnoticed.\n\nThere were men at the scene claiming to be officials from the FBI and CIA who were never seen again or interrogated.  They were observed picking up shell casings and bullet fragments.  \n\nI've also had problems believing the fatal headshot footage. Zapruder jerked his arm four times during the shooting, which was an involuntary reaction to the sound of gunfire. Kennedy's reaction to the fatal shot could just as easily be explained as a front entry wound.  Photos exist showing smoke rising from the grassy knoll area, plus several eyewitnesses said they heard at least one shot from that direction.  \n\nIn my opinion, two separate entities formed two separate plans to assassinate Kennedy that day, but only one team was in place in time to do it.  The Mafia had the will and the personnel, but the precision of the shots and the ensuing cover up points to a military operation.

Obviously there are all the potential topics listed above, but these can sometimes be difficult to prove beyond personal feelings.  Something that can be easier and more fun to prove or disprove, are historical debates and conspiracies, such as, "Was their a second shooter at the JFK assassination?  If so, from where did they shoot?  Did Oswald actually do anything or was he a scapegoat?  Was their a mass conspiracy?  If so, did it involve the American government?"  You can talk about the existence of Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster or aliens.  Maybe you'd rather talk about the different theories on how people got to the Americas or the Polynesian Islands.  Who was Jack the Ripper?  Did Shakespeare write his own plays?  Did the girls who accused the "witches" in Salem Village make everything up, eat rye infected by the fungus used to make LSD or suffer from clinical hysteria?  Did St. Patrick really exist?  Did King Arthur really exist?  Did Walt Disney have himself criogenically frozen?  Did Irish explorers reach the Americas in small boats?  Did a Welsh man reach the Americas long before Colombus and teach some Indian villages Welsh?  There are so many wonderful historical myths and theories to explore, which can be more fun for you and refreshing and interesting for your teacher to grade.  I hope this helped!

Try a consiracy. Like the Jkf shooting. Or maybe Watergate. Watergate was very interesting. Basically The leading cadidate for president was so paranoid of the other cadidate he hired spys to well, spy. (to put frankly) Anyway the whole thing blew up after he was president. I'm not sure. History is so interesting.
