Early afternoon air welcomed President John F Kennedy as he rode in his open limo through Dealey Plaza in Dallas. He was campaigning in Texas and was expected to speak at a luncheon with civic and business leaders. Crowds cheered on as he took a 120 degree turn into Elm Street; at 12:30pm on November 22nd 1963, “BANG, BANG, BANG”, three shots fired. The United States of America loses its 35th president. At only 46 years of age, he was assassinated. Two of those shots hit the President. One in his neck and one in his head, while the other shot the driver, Governor Connally. Parkland Memorial Hospitals physicians fought to save their lives, but at 1:00pm President Kennedy was pronounced dead. Police claim Lee Harvey Oswald was the mastermind behind the assassination plot; he was a newly hired employee at the Texas School Book Depository with a wife. They also claim the shots all resonated from one place, the Texas School Book Depository, based off one eyewitness and theyre forensics testing. He was in custody less than an hour after the shootings. While he was being transferred to the county jail, Jack Ruby fired at him point blank and killed him. There was no trial, he had no chance to defend himself, and it is a claim in history that doesnt add up too nicely. Conspiracy theories ranging from the CIAs involvement down to more shooters have aroused over the years. The one that proves substantial to me is the involvement of the CIA.
President Kennedy was a fan of the counterinsurgent warfare employed by the CIA towards Fidel Castros Cuba. This changed, however, with incident known as the Bay of Pigs invasion. There were unresolved tension between the CIA and the president, with the president ordering a peace track behind the State Department, CIA and Pentagons backs. Deputy Director of the CIA called Pres. Kennedy a traitor. An ex FBI agent Mr. Wesley Swearingen claims that rogue CIA agents acting with the mafia, Cuban exiles and FBI informants killed Kennedy. This conspiracy had to be covered up. Another ex- FBI agent Don Adams claims that Lee Harvey Oswald did not shoot the president as he had a recording from an informer days before the assassination from SRP and KKK saying the best way to shoot the president was with a high powered rifle from an office building. This information wasnt even included in the Warren Commission Report. This was the report, which investigated the assassination of JFK. The CIA and the FBI had access to this information beforehand, so why was JFK travelling in an open convertible when there was a threat to his life. Why is there so much information missing from the Warren Report. E. Howard Hunt, believed to be one of the three tramps was a CIA agent. He wrote an autobiography, which implicates Lyndon Johnson in the assassination. He also gave his son some deathbed confessions saying the assassination was orchestrated by Johnson
