Half a century has passed since the tragic death of the U.S. President John Kennedy. However, heated debates are still taking place on whether JFK’ death was a simple murder or an assassination. After doing some extensive research, considering conclusions of various investigation boards, I have to agree with the idea that Kennedy was not simply killed by an angry American, but was rather assassinated as a result of a planned evil plot.
According to USAtoday.com there are six major theories on who shot Kennedy. Among the presumed conspirators were the CIA, the Mafia, the Soviets, the Cubans and Lyndon Johnson. Nearly a thousand books have been written and countless documentaries filmed about this event, however Kennedy’s case cannot be considered as solved. I believe that the actual shooter, L.H. Oswald was just a tool used to pull the trigger; his subsequent murder by Jack Ruby was nothing but a witness disposal. Most likely, the USA authorities shared the guilt of Kennedy’s death. One of the major facts that have spawned hundreds of conspiracy theories was an attempt of the authorities to hide important information of the incident from the general public. Needless to say, that if it was a simple murder, why conceal the information? Kennedy was shot on the orders of either the Soviets, the Cubans or the Mafia, but the authorities played their part in not preventing this tragic event from happening and trying to cover it up, since JFK’s death benefited them as well.
In conclusion, John Kennedy had crossed a lot of dangerous people during his presidency. His death was beneficial to many and it is a long shot to assume that he was a simple victim of a lonely mad gunner.
