Argue who you believe assassinated JFK and why

In November 1963, the majority of citizens worldwide recognised Lee Harvey Oswald as the only assassin of President Kennedy. This, however, is not the case; there was in fact an accomplice, an unknown gunman on the grassy knoll whom fired the lethal headshot which assassinated JFK, and there is definite verification to prove this. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations hired two acoustical experts who analysed and studied a tape recording of the event of a motorcycle policeman’s radio transmission. They concluded that there had been four shots fired at John F Kennedy. The relatively short time frame between the third and final shot indicates that there must have been another gunman involved in the shooting. After further investigation, the acoustical experts concluded that the third shot was projected from behind the picket fence in the vicinity of the Grassy Knoll. This was also the location where a witness named S.M. Holland had observed a puff of smoke at the time of the assassination.

Additionally, there is photographical evidence associated with technological analysis of an adult figure positioned behind the fence.

Furthermore, the majority of witnesses on the day of the assassination were in assurance that they heard the gunshots from the surroundings of the grassy knoll.

When using computer analysis technology and closely observing the eight – millimetre film shot by Abraham Zapruder, we can determine that the first shot missed its target striking the curb near the Triple Underpass and affected the bystander, James Tague, the second shot was fired from behind pursuing Kennedy in the neck. Seconds later, a third bullet hit Connally in his back. The bullet that resulted on Connally was shot from the Texas School Book Depository due to the direction of Connally’s wounds. In less than a second after the third shot, the final shot was admitted and this was the fatally implacable head shot that assassinated JFK. The timing proves there was another gunman, as the Warren report clearly outlines that a time of 2.3 seconds is required to fire two successive shots from an atypical Mannlicher – Carcano rifle, supposedly used by Oswaldand the visualisation of the movements of the president’s head jerking rearward and to the left in the Zapruder film corresponds with the act of another unknown gunman shooting from the direction of the grassy knoll. Through analysis of computer and acoustical evidence in conjunction with the Zapruder film, it is evident the fatal headshot was progressed from a second gunman on the grassy knoll, therefore establishing the assassination of JFK as a conspiracy.

President Kennedy’s death is attributed to a conspiracy consisting of people within the Central Intelligence Agency and although the exact individuals remain unidentified, the actions leading up and in response to the assassination prove the CIA was evidently involved. The CIA felt JFK was sub – missing the seriousness of communism, as Kennedy was planning to withdraw troops from the war in Vietnam and attempted to establish peace among communist leaders. Furthermore, JFK also promised to not invade Cuba, which was certainly a decision that was strongly disapproved by the CIA and significantly the embarrassing outcome from the Bay of Pigs incident lead to Kennedy firing Allen Dulles, the CIA director in an intention to limit CIA powers. 

In relation to the CIA’s motives, Lee Harvey Oswald was permitted to renounce his American citizenship after defecting to the Soviet Union in 1959, this occurred without a virtual interrogation and questioning. This can be perceived as evidence as it indicates that there is a probable chance of an established relationship between the CIA and Oswald as Lee Harvey was allowed to reconvert to be an American citizen at a time when communism was a predominant issue in American society.

There is also evidence which supports the CIA’s suspicious and questionable behaviour in relation to the assassination as the films and photographs which are likely to provide evidence of the assassins were confiscated by the federal authorities and a vast majority of this property wasn’t justly returned. For example, the presidential limousine was taken from Dallas and diminished as evidence, as ordered by President Johnson before further investigation was able to take place. Moreover, Kennedy’s autopsy was executed by Navy doctors with little experience who were in fact instructed by superior authorities to not bother in conducting essential procedures such as; investigating the president’s clothing and wounds. The lack of preparedness and response is also controversial, as the open limousine, when appearing in front of the Texas School Book Depository slowed down to an almost complete stop, violating standard security regulations. Although the most vital piece of evidence to be recognised is the CIA’s influence in the provision of relatively false evidence to the Warren Commission while subduing other importance evidence, such as the existence of a conspiracy involving the agency and organised crime members. This evidence supports the idea of the CIA’s cover up in premeditation of the assassination of president John F Kennedy.

 Through the close analysis of sources, acoustical, photographical and computer evidence, the mystery of who is responsible for the assassination of JFK has been discovered. Lee Harvey Oswald is guilty for intending to assassinate JFK from the Texas School Book Depository on the 22nd of November 1963; however it was his unknown accomplice who fired the lethally implacable head shot which caused the death of President Kennedy. The CIA organised the event of the assassination, and therefore, the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy is to be defined as a conspiracy.
