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

depends on which bullet hit him ,not through the back, but the one that went through Governor O'Connelly's leg, ricocheted back behind the limo and made a u-turn into JFK's skull. Eye witness testimony have 2 women who said they saw a railroad-uniformed worker put a rifle case on the RR control box next to the RR tracks just behind the hedges on the famous grassy knoll and watched a man in a suite they thought was secret service assemble the rifle and shoot over the hedges and put the gun back in the case at which the man in the RR uniformed removed his coveralls and walked away with the gun. Much speculation. LBJ (V.P.) was known for his bitter contempt for JFK and was quoted at a party the night before that we wouldn't have to deal with that S.O.B after tomorrow. The Warren commission states a single gunman but eye wittiness' state otherwise. The History channel did a week long special in 2003 ( the 40th anniversary of his assassination ) and mater of factly said there were two or three gunmen. I think most people think it was an inside job.

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 connectin, 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 of New Orleans and Giancana from Chicago.  But why did the US Govt keep the Russian, Cuban and Mafia connection out of the limelight, what is the truth???

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.

The only "conspiracy theory" I believe in is that the Warren Commission wanted to close the case of JFK's assassination, so they put all the blame on a dead man that could not speak in his defense.

If you ever get to Dealy Plaza and really look around, it is really interesting. It is a perfect area for a cross fire situation, so I don't believe the Warren Commisions report that Oswald acted alone. Was Oswald involved, it is hard to say. But, IMHO, it was definitely multiple shooters. The Warren Commision picked Oswald as the scapegoat not because the governmnet was involved in the shooting as some say, but because they were under pressure to wrap it up quickly, and he couldn't speak out to defend himself.\n\nBack to the original question. Who killed Kennedy? It is hard to say. It could have been the Dallas Police. It could have been the mofia. It could have been supporters of Castro. I don't think we will ever know absolutely who it was.

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:

The Nation basically lost its innocence with JFK's assasination.  People began to feel that there were conspiresy's behind everything.  The press while it always had it's freedom had basically censored itself on things it did not feel were necessary to report, within a few years Investigative Reporting became popular and no subject was exempt.  The more that people found out the less faith they had in things they had always taken for granted.  Kennedy had planned to use bringing home our troops from Viet Nam as a positive for his 1964 re-election and planned to put off any civil rights legislation until after the '64 election.  However with his death in 1963 Civil Right's Legislation happened in 1964 and his Vice President Johnson was re-elected by the largest landslide in History to that point, he also escalated the war in Viet Nam instead of bring troops home and we went from having a few thousand troops in Viet Nam under Kennedy to having over a half a million troops there by the end of the decade.\n\nTo this day there are still theroy's of conspiresy surrounding his assasination and probably always will be.

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

I doubt that anyone knows how many people were involved in JFK's murder.  I am sure Oswald was NOT the only one involved.  From what I have read, he didn't even qualify on the rifle range when he was in the USMC, and that was with a semi-automatic rifle.  The Carcano he is accused of using would not be the weapon of choice for such a job.  That particular model tended to jam and you would want a more tried and true weapon for such a task, such as a Mauser 98.

We'll never know unless we find a portal to some parallel universe where someone was able to intercept the shooter, or thwart the conspiracy, etc.\n\nThough we are seeing an incredible degree of corruption now, it didn't just start in 2000.  The groundwork was being laid well before Kennedy.  History shows that he was no saint, either, but then few people are.\n\n"If" is a mighty big word.  Every single decision and every single action has consequences.  Think about the butterfly effect.  There's just no way to take an isolated incident and say that it was the only thing that led to... whatever.  Also, an act is often the result of the time we live in, and many times we get the impression that if one person didn't do it, someone else would try.

The Illuminati.\nI had to do a report on them and sought all ranges of info.\nIt turns out they've slowly come to control most governments (major and minor) with America as a strong foothold.\nSupposedly, all the American presidents were either members of the Illuminati or were approved by them somehow.\n\nIt seems the Kennedy family was "punished" for not playing along with the Illuminati game plan. Somehow, they control or affect almost everything.\n(Scary stuff to do research on... trust me)

Kennedy's personal lives are just that personal. Bush has made this war all of our business, whether we chose it to be or not. I'd say Kennedy.

It depends on which theory you want to believe. According to the Warren report, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone to kill President Kennedy and Ruby acted out of rage to "prevent Mrs. Kennedy from having to go through a drawn out murder trial".\nThen again, if you believe the theory that Oswald was simply a mob-hired hit man, Ruby -- who was reportedly on the fringes of the mob with his multiple Dallas strip clubs -- could have been given the job of silencing the hit man.\nThe conspiracy theories go on and on and each has a different relationship between Ruby and Oswald ... so it comes down to what you think really happened that day in Dallas.
