can anybody tell me what the conspiracy theory was in the Kennedy assassination?

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.

You'll find it discussed in most conspiracy books, and most especially in Jim Garrison's book, On the Trail of the Assassins (right). Supposedly, John Kennedy's motorcade through Dallas, which was to go directly down Main Street and onto the Stemmons Freeway, was changed at the last minute to turn of Houston Street, and then Elm Street. \nWhy is this supposed to be sinister? Because the route down Elm Street takes the limo near the Grassy Knoll, where a shooter was supposedly stationed. It also takes the motorcade near other buildings (such as the Dal-Tex) were shooters could be hidden, supposedly creating a "triangulation of crossfire." \n\nBelow is a drawing of the "originally planned" parade route, and the "revised" parade route -- taken from On the Trail of the Assassins is shown below.\n\n\n\n\n\nGarrison's Account of His "Discovery"\nJim Garrison, the New Orleans District Attorney who prosecuted Clay Shaw for conspiring to murder Kennedy, claimed to have discovered the "changed route." He says that, during his investigation of the assassination in 1967: \nThe temporary respite from the investigation did not last long. Frank Klein could not stay away from it, and neither could I. One morning I was in my office reading and rereading a newspaper. I did not hear Frank enter. \n"I have never seen you so preoccupied," said Frank. \n\n"It's not just any paper, son," I said. "This is the front page of the Dallas Morning News for November 22, 1963." \n\n"Well, what's got you so hypnotized?" \n\nI gestured to the large diagram on the paper's front page, indicating the route of the presidential parade. "Have I ever shown you this before?" I asked. \n\nHe shook his head.\n\nI turned the paper around facing his way so that he could read the diagram of the motorcade. It covered almost five-sixth of the front page.\n\n"Frank," I said, "I want you to follow the parade route with me. Let's pick it up right here as it comes down Main approaching Dealey Plaza. Are you with me?"\n\n"Yes," he said, his finger following the thick line indicating the motorcade. "And here is where it reaches Dealey Plaza . . . " He stopped.\n\n"What's the matter?" I asked.\n\n"This diagram indicates that the President's parade was supposed to continue on Main Street through the center of Dealey Plaza -- without even leaving Main." He stared at it in disbelief.\n\n"So what's wrong with that?" I asked.\n\nHis finger was moving off of Main, inches downward to Elm until he found the Depository area where the President had been shot. "If that was the presidential parade route up there on Main . . . "\n\nI finished the question for him. "How did he get way down here on Elm?"\n\nFrank looked up at me with a slight frown, then looked back at the diagram. He moved his finger back along Main Street to where it reached Houston. "The motorcade turned right on Houston and went down onto Elm," he said. . . . "Here on Main Street, continuing through the open meadow," he said, "they couldn't have hit him. Are you telling me that at the last moment they just moved the President of the United States off of his scheduled route to here where the Depository is?" He pushed back his chair and stood up. "Hell, I haven't read a damned word about that anywhere. How can they keep something like that a secret for three years?"\n\n[...]\n\nFrank grabbed the front page of the Dallas Morning News and pointed to the diagram. "Hell," he said, "was the Warren Commission blind? Didn't they see this?"\n\n"Oh," I said. "Would you like to see the front page that was introduced to the Warren Commission?"\n\nI pulled open my middle desk drawer and took out a copy of the Dallas Mor

Oswald could not have been the only one that shot Kennedy. Police recovered a 1940's model Manlicher Carcano bolt action rifle from the sixth floor of the TSBD building. In theory, this was the rifle Oswald was purported to have used. In reality, the weapon was barely capable of accuracy at 5o yards, let alone having 3 accurate shots fired from it in less than six seconds. The head shot Kennedy received caused his head to move backwards and to his left. The whole back of his skull was blown out. Close study of the Zapruder film shows this in graphic detail. As for 9/11...........well, Hitler burned the Reichstag in order to implement his plan. Nothing is impossible for desperate leaders

Which ones. Do you mean the government's conspiracy theory about 19 Arab hijackers, or the alternative theory about government involvement.\nI'll bet on the latter.

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.

We all know it was staged. Especially the attack on the Pentagon. You would have to be a moron to believe that ANYTHING our govt. tells you is the truth.\nThere will NEVER be anything you or him or her or I, can do about it. More powerfull forces are at work than ANY of us could ever in a million years imagine. \nIt is fun to ponder what THEY are up to. The only YOU are EVER going to find the truth about- Kennedy, MLK, Aliens, 9/11 or anything else like that is to study hard. Go to a good college. Get involved in Law or Politics or the Military. Work your way up the ladder without becoming brainwashed. Become elected or appointed to a REALLY HIGH office. Gather together some other powerfull and influential pals and open the doors to the VAULT for us all to see. You would be a hero although not a LIVING one for very long I'm afraid.

there are all kinds of conspiracy theories. We like to believe there was a conspiracy for various reasons: Diana vs the Royal family, everyone likes a mystery story etc. Probably just a very tragic end to a young, tragic woman's life

lee harvey oswald had known ties to the soviets\njack ruby had known ties to the Italian mafia\nkennedys body was never autopsied in texas it would have been easy to tamper with any evidence\nthe warren commision was a joke.a special commision to look into the death of a president when all the evidence was either tampered with or destroyed. \nwe'll know more in 56 years when the records become released \nto the public. \n'til then, your guess is as good as anybodys\nand anybody who comes up with a conspiracy theory without proof needs a straight jacket\noswald didnt die in prison he was shot by jack ruby. how a known felon got into a police station is beyond me. \ni just love reading the other responses. people who have no clue coming up with wild answers. do your research\n"it is better to look stupid, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

See if you can find out who killed JFK.

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.

I believe that Marilyn Monroe was killed by the CIA upon demand of Robert Kennedy.\n\nI have a theory that all these "people" in cyberspace aren't real. "Everyone" is just a computer program made up to entertain "us"  ( windows is now closing me down in 5,4,3,2,1)\n\nI hope "nobody" is reading this. I know "they" are tracking my every move!!!!

Do a Google search to find out more about the Masons, because there's just too much tell you in such a small space.\nAs to whether or not they have anything to do with JFK's assassination and the black helicopters (whatever the heck they are!!!!!!!), I have no idea, but it's doubtful.

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.

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.

You might have heard an over the top version of a conspiracy theory about former White House deputy council Vince Foster.  What happened was that Foster committed suicide.  However, some people allege that Hillary Clinton was behind it.  \n\nThe theories usually revolve around the impending Whitewhater investigation.  Some people think that Foster had incriminating evidence and Clinton had him killed as opposed to having him testify against Bill and her.\n\nAs for the theory you are referring to, it is a very unlikely conspiracy theory that only the "level headed minds" like Ann Coulter and David Brock perpetuated.  Those people believe that in addition to the Whitewhater evidence the other reason Clinton had Foster killed was because of an affair between them that was going to be revealed.\n\nWith this all said there has never been a verified claim of an affair between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster.

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.

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.
