Warren Commission Report The shots that killed Kennedy was determined to come from the 6th floor TSBD. Evidence indicates three shots were fired. The shots were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald also murdered J.D. Tippit. Found no evidence that Oswald was a part of any conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy.

JFK Conspiracy Lee Harvey Oswald belonged to virtually every group that would have wanted Kennedy dead, stoking the flames of conspiracy. Oswald worked at a U-2 spy plane base, moved to the USSR and married the daughter of a KGB colonel. Came back to the U.S. and worked as anti-Castro propagandist in a building shared with ex-FBI agent who sought to overthrow Castro.

United States House Select Committee on Assassinations Was established in 1976 to investigate the assassinations of Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. and the shooting of Governor George Wallace. The Committee investigated until 1978, and in 1979 issued its final report, concluding that President John F. Kennedy was very likely assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. However, the committee noted that it believed that the conspiracy did not include the governments of the Soviet Union or Cuba. It also stated it did not believe the conspiracy was organized by any organized crime group, nor any anti-Castro group, but that it could not rule out individual members of any of those groups acting together.

Who Killed JFK? The CIA? Kennedy gave away Cuba where the CIA had worked very hard to get rid of Castro. Kennedy would give away Vietnam. Kennedy fired about every top CIA official after Bay of Pigs. CIA specializes in assassinations. CIA man allegedly seen with Oswald months prior.

Castro? Fidel Castro Sick of Kennedy trying to kill him. It’s killed or be killed.

Hoover? J. Edgar Hoover and the F.B.I. Began collecting smear material on Kennedy’s personal life. FBI recorded conversations in 1962-63 with Mafia leaders who talked about killing JFK

Mafia? The Mafia Helped Kennedy get elected only to find that he and his brother were waging war on organized crime. Had the means, motive, and opportunity. Mafia had billions of dollars seized by Castro.

Anti-Castro Cubans? Anti-Castro Cubans Never forgave Kennedy for leaving them to fend for themselves at the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy pledged never to invade Cuba…Castro will be there forever.

V.P. Lyndon B. Johnson? Lyndon Johnson Rumored to be dropped from the ticket in 1964. Johnson doesn’t like this Harvard liberal from Massachusetts. Who has the most to gain from a Kennedy assassination?

Who Killed JFK???????

That’s for you to decide!!!
