There are man theories. Some of these are listed, including the CIA, Cubans, the mob and more. But what if the truth is simpler? What if there is another secret that no one wants to talk about? What are your thoughts on the assassination?

1. Kennedy Assassination
Theories
22 November 1963

2. The Warren Commission determined in 1964
that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
In the half a century since, polls have never
indicated more than 30% of American believe
that.

3. Vincent Bugliosi estimates that 214 different
people have been accused in various
conspiracies ranging across 42 groups with 82
possible gunmen.

4. Popular theories include

5. In 1979, the United States House Select
Committee on Assassination concluded that a
second gunman besides Oswald probably fired
at Kennedy.
Afterwards, the acoustic evidence it used for
this determination was dismissed.

6. From the beginning there was a rush to cover-
up what happened.
Discrepancies include the body being taken
from Texas back to Washington the same day
of the shooting and illegally.

7. The original autopsy
was destroyed. What
was thought to be
the original, to the
right, is one made
later.
The original photos
from the autopsy
also went missing.

8. Kennedy had many enemies, including numerous
Americans.

9. Earlier in 1963, after being arrested in New
Orleans, Oswald asked to speak to the FBI. He
did, but just a memo that the talk occurred was
filed.
The FBI never followed up.
Why?

10. Sam Giancana, from the Chicago “Outfit” and
Kennedy actually shared a mistress at one
point, Judith Campbell Exner.
She arranged meetings between Kennedy and
Giancana regarding assassinating Castro.

11. Giancana, and the Outfit, had supposedly
helped Kennedy win Chicago, and thus Illinois,
in the 1960 election.
They felt Kennedy wasn’t living up to his end of
the “deal.”

12. Carlos Marcello, head of the New Orleans
mob, wasn’t happy with the Kennedy brothers.
Bobbie Kennedy had him deported out of the
country and dumped in the middle of
Guatemala in 1961. Jack Ruby, who would
shoot Oswald, was supposed to be in debt to
Marcello.

13. Kennedy’s Administration had sanctioned the
Bay of Pigs and several assassination
attempts on Fidel Castro.

14. Kennedy had faced down the Russians during
the Cuban Missile Crisis, forcing their ships to
turn back.

15. There are many theories, but none of them
quite fit. It seems as if the top level of
government would have to be in on the
coverup if there was more to it than just
Oswald. Why would it do that?

16. What if the answer were very simple?
That there were two ‘gunmen’.
And the identity of the 2nd gunman is the
reason for the cover-up which began
immediately?

17. The first gunman was, of course, Lee Harvey
Oswald.

18. It’s the second gunman that’s the problem.
A Secret Service Agent in the follow car.

19. The Agent, not part of the normal security detail,
was issued a weapon he wasn’t familiar with, an
AR-15. Upon hearing the first shot he jumped to
his feet.
Just as the car accelerated, also in response to
the first shot.
Losing his balance, the agent accidentally
discharged the weapon. Kennedy had already
suffered a wound that would be fatal, but this
round was the infamous head shot and has given
birth to many of the conspiracy theories.

20. Could such an accident be admitted?
Or was the reality known by those who made
the decisions, including the President’s widow,
and the decision was made to keep it quiet?

21. We may never know.
But what did Mrs. Kennedy mean when, during
the viewing of her husband’s body in the Rotunda,
she told Russian Ambassador Mikoyan: “I am
sure that Chairman Khrushchev and my husband
could have been successful in the search for
peace, and they were really striving for that. Now
the Chairman must continue the agreed upon
endeavor and bring it to completion.”

22. What was the Kennedy Endeavor?
Why was his mistress, Mary Meyer, killed a year
later?
Why was Khrushchev forced out of power the
very next day?
What was in Mary Meyer’s diary that
disappeared?
What is The Kennedy Endeavor?
