Assassination of John F. Kennedy

Jesse Curry, Dallas police chief was forced to hand over all the evidence concerning Oswald which was turned over to J. Edgar Hoover head of the FBI who believed from the beginning that Oswald was a lone ‘nut’ assassin, this seemed to be the belief of anyone official at the time.

By Monday evening both Oswald and Kennedy had been buried and all investigations focused on the lone gunman theory.  An inquest was started and within two weeks the FBI produced a detailed report declaring the guilt of Oswald.  The SS soon backed up the report.

The Warren Commission was set up by Johnson seven days after the assassination in Washington with Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court since 1953 along with; Hale Boggs, U.S. representative, John Sherman Cooper, U.S. Senator (Republican of Kentucky), Allen W. Dulles, Director of U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Gerald R. Ford, U.S. representative (Republican Michigan), John J. McCloy, attorney and advisor to President Kennedy and Richard B. Russell, U.S. Senator (Democrat Georgia).  The Warren Report concluded that Oswald acting alone killed Kennedy. 

By March 1964 sentence was passed before Ruby and he was found guilty of murder with malice and charged with death.  Ruby appealed against his sentence and begged eight times to be taken to Washington because he did not feel he was safe in Dallas, however, they refused to take him.  Ruby was put in prison in Dallas but suddenly contracted cancer before his death sentence.  Ruby obviously felt nervous about the connections he had and whether they thought he would use their names to buy him out of prison.

Jack Ruby from Chicago was a small town hoodlum and a runner for Al Capone in the 1930’s.  He based his life around gambling, narcotics and prostitution.  He ran a club called the Carousel in Dallas, which was one in a long line of unsuccessful nightclubs where Ruby often played host to members of the Dallas police force.  This was also where most of the SS were the night before the assassination, which is a big coincidence.

Ruby liked to keep fit but had a lot of trouble behind closed doors including phone calls from well-connected mob figures just before the assassination.  He found out in April of Kennedy’s visit to Dallas.  Beverly Oliver says two weeks prior to the assassination a dancer called Jhada at Ruby’s club introduced Oswald and Ruby together to her which proves they knew each other before the assassination and so close to the time of it.  Jhada died unexplainably after telling the police about seeing the two together.

Overall, I believe the assassination of Kennedy was mainly due to his openness to peace and civil rights and this highlighted too many big issues for America at one time, which caused the decision to assassinate him by the CIA. The Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association (HCSA) had enough evidence supported by eyewitness’s reports to conclude that Kennedy was a victim of a conspiracy. 

The most popular theory of which I agree is that the government agencies were involved and that it was planned by either high officials in the White House and by the Secret Service, FBI and CIA.  Paid killers executed him, and afterwards the agencies ensured that the murderers remained uncovered.  The CIA blamed Kennedy for not throwing the full weight of his air force behind the Bay of Pigs affair and in addition they were bitterly disappointed that he had come to an agreement with the Soviets over Cuba.  Kennedy had also stopped listening to the CIA after the Bay of Pigs affair and they resented being cold-shouldered by the president.  The cover-ups of the government are so frequent and obvious that you cannot overlook the indefinite fact that the government killed Kennedy.
