The J.F.K. Assassination: Lone-Nut Gunman or Conspiracy
The J.F.K. Assassination: Lone-Nut Gunman or Conspiracy
On Friday, November 22nd 1963 at 12:30 P.M. the 35th president of the United States of America, John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) assassinated while he rode in an open limousine though the streets of Dallas. This event, which abruptly and severely altered the course of history, it has created more controversy than any other single event. Some haunting questions still remain. "Who did it?" "Why did they do it?" "How was it done?" "Was there a cover up" The official answers complied by the Warren Commission have never satisfied the majority of the world's population.

This quote has great meaning because it does prove a point that Oswald, the convicted assassin, had no motive, at-least his motive still has never been discovered, not even to this day. We can never even have the chance to ask questions anymore because Oswald was assassinated by Jack Ruby on November 24 1963, so the secrets that he with-held will never be revealed the worlds unsatisfied people. In this following essay I will try to show you my opinion on who was responsible for the assassination of President JFK and the theory on how the government said it actually happened. I will support facts on the side of the conspiracy theory and the side of the lone gunman theory. I will try to show you, the reader, how each theory is presented and the flaws that they each have, then I will reveal to you my opinion on which theory I personally believe is right.
