The Assination of JFK
On November 22, 1963 the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was gunned down by rifle-fire as he rode in a motorcade through Dallas' Dealey Plaza. The events of that day of chaos in Texas have turned out to become one of the most debated cases in modern history. Still today researchers and investigators have yet to reach a conclusion on exactly what happened amid all the frenzy in Dealey Plaza. There still remain several theories and unanswered questions that keep Americans guessing. Who killed our thirty fifth President? This is what I am here to talk about. There are many theories and explanations of who did it but I will only be explaining three of them. First, I will talk about the Warren Commission and their theory. Second, I will talk about the Assassination Committee and their theory. And third, I will talk about the Cuban exiles.My first point that I would like to discuss is the Warren Commission. Many people thought the debate was settled when the Warren Commission headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, brought forth the findings of their nine month investigation of the death of the President. The Warren Commission was a special group of investigators set up to find the answers to what happened on t

At first it was believed that the anti-Castro Cuban exiles, communists and Mafia all may have played a part. One reason for blaming the anti-Castro Cuban exiles is because several disgruntled exiles felt Kennedy was to blame for the disastrous Bay of Pigs incident in 1961. What happened on the shores of Cuba was betrayal for the Cuban exiles. Kennedy was quickly losing popularity within his administration, and added confusion brought on more distrust. "Since John F. Kennedy stopped all raiding against Castro, Cuban exiles feel that the United States government has turned against them...Violence originally directed them toward Castro's Cuba will now be directed toward the United States Government. Exile motives to kill the President seemed to run through the communities. The exiles are logical suspects in the investigation of the death of John F. Kennedy. In 1978, Oswald had served in the Marines and his file told of his pro-Castro activities and his growing passion for communism. It was quite obvious that the US was out to get Fidel Castro. They ran anti-Castro Cuban exiles out of Miami, aiding their homeland, in hope that they would kill Castro. The suspicions that Cuba was involved are still being investigated today. There is not enough proven evidence that Oswald had been associated with Cuba. There are to many suspicions and unanswered questions to think that Oswald acted alone for two reasons. The first being he was not a violent person, and the politically aware assassin was very fond of John F. Kennedy and was believed to have liked him very much. The second reason Oswald didn't do it alone is because of
