I'm sure you have all learned about the assination of John F. Kennedy and how he was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald from a window in large building. But have your teachers ever made you dig deeper to truly discover what could have really happened?

Lately I have been researching (out of interest) many different conspiracies behind the assasination of John F. Kennedy. For example, a shot fired from the grassy knoll. Or, the Limo driver turning around and shooting Kennedy right there (if you watch the assasination video, you will see the driver turn around).

Just recently I came across an interesting (and frightening) discovery. On the bumper behind JFK, there were makeshift places in which secret service agents could stand and protect the President from the back (which he was most vulnerable). Before the motorcade turned the corner to proceed down the road in which he was assasinated, someone ordered those secrect service agents to stand down. That means, it left the complete back of the car open. Now, if those agents were standing there, would the assasination still have taken place? Probably not. They were to stand there to block the President with their own bodies. Obviously, they weren't there.

On the other hand, much evidence points to Lee Harvey Oswald behind the assasination. For example, the way in which the bullet entered JFK's head was the exact trajectory from the gun from Oswald's. Another example is if Oswald was really apart of the CIA, wouldn't he have had a getaway car? Instead, Oswald was found trying to get a taxi with only 12 or 13 dollars in his pocket. If he was really apart of the CIA, he would have had a getaway car and Oswald would hever have been heard from again. Also, the gun that was used to kill Kennedy was indeed Oswald's. This gun was only a 12 dollar gun in which Oswald mailed in money to get. Again, if Oswald was really apart of the CIA, wouldn't he have a much better weapon (or shooter: he only scored 2 points above the minimum score as a sharpshooter) to take out the President in one clean shot?

Now, it's your turn to decide. Do you really feel that our own government was behind the assasination of John F. Kennedy? Or do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald was the true man behind the trigger?

Honestly I don't know. I think there's enough evidence to point to Lee Harvey Oswald as the true assassin, however the conspiracy does interest me very much. After all, you never know. I still need to do research on this matter.

Actually, I haven't. =/

I don't know the details at all, so I can't really say. But it seems to me that people think everything is a conspiracy these days.

Oh wow.
I'm really sorry.
Perhaps I shouldn't have put it that way.

I do not know who believed who killed Kennedy.
His assassination is one of those mysteries of life which will never be solved.
Yes, the evidence points to Lee Harvey Oswald, but I've heard some good arguments made against him.
I can't give exact details as they escape my mind, but I remember the point.
There was a very small window between the point the police went into the building where Lee shot Kennedy and when they saw him.
That window was less than a minute.
In less than a minute, Oswald shot his rounds with a bolt action rifle, killed the rifle, killed his hands, stored the rifle away, raced down the stairs (yet calmly passed by two ladies going up while he went down), and caught his breath moments before the police showed up.

...Sounds REALLY weird to me.
