The JFK Murder: What Truly Happened Out There?
by A sequel to a previous post entitled, “Unsolved Mysteries: The JFK Assassination”. To get an overview about the basic facts of the JFK murder, make sure you read that previous article first.
In this article, we will delve deeper into the dark and hideous facts of the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy. After 40 years, the case was still unsolved and the controversies are stronger than ever. In the next few paragraphs, we will look at the hard facts that will hopefully help the reader develop his or her own judgment, and be able to answer the most important questions:
- Is the murder performed by a single deranged assassin, or was it a conspiracy?
- Was Lee Harvey Oswald innocent, partially involved, or the lone criminal?
- Are institutions of the US government part of the plot against JFK?
- Did the Warren Commission ignore and cover up the true evidence?
The photo above shows JFK and and his brother, Robert. Both were mysteriously assassinated at separate times!
These questions have been going on for four decades, and to gain a clearer view and more logical idea of what really happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, perhaps we should start at examining the famous Zapruder film…
The Abraham Zapruder footage – this live video was perhaps the most important piece of evidence that exists about the JFK assassination. Abraham Zapruder, a cinematographer, was one of the bystanders waiting for the President’s motorcade to pass by the Dealey Plaza on Elms Street. Eager to get a full glimpse of the President’s motorcade, Zapruder stationed himself on the Grassy Knoll area, upon a sort of 3 feet high stone platform, using an 8 mm video recorder. Zapruder’s footage was able to record the entire assassination sequence, including Kennedy’s fatal head shot wound.
Here’s a picture of a tourist who stood on the spot where Zapruder once stood:
Why Was The Zapruder Film So Important? There are many reasons and here are some of them:
- The Zapruder film became the basis for almost every investigation related to the crime scene.
- It showed the exact moment when Governor Connally was hit, and when JFK received the shot on his head that blew his brains out
- Thanks to the Zapruder film, the experts were able to estimate the time frame that elapsed between the first, second and third gun shot..(and fourth shot, if any)

I was watching the motorcade on TV when the President was shot. I always thought politics played a big hand in it. I did not think then, and I still don’t believe that Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy. I thought then, and now that Oswald was killed to make sure he wasn’t found “not guilty.”

Hi ruby hawk..my personal belief is that Oswald was ONE of the shooters..but he wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger on that fatal head shot. That head shot was performed by a pro sniper from the grassy knoll..possibly military. However, Oswald knew about the conspiracy, and he sure knows the ones who are involved (possibly CIA and some bad elements in the government), so they let Jack Ruby kill Oswald so that the JFK assassination will be blamed on the Mafia. This is only a personal opinion.
The quail, thanks for the comment! I’ll take a look at some of your content as well.

Great article – and one of my favorite subjects. I have almost every book written and I know it was not Osward alone (if at all). And I will never believe that JFK, RFK and MLK were all killed by lone gunman with no connection – no way!

Great intriguing article. I fear that the case will never be solved that will erase all doubts in people’s minds.

I believe that Oswald was so over zealous that he made it easy for conspirators to use him for the “fall-guy”, he thought that he was doing something noble for his cause but was actually becoming the “patsy” for a scheme much larger than he could possibly conceive…so far, this is probably the most perfectly executed murder of all time. Too many people died that were witnesses in a very short time span….humm.

It looks like Oswald was at least an informant, if not an agent for either the FBI, CIA or both. After the shooting of JFK, Oswald found out that the people that he was spying on and the people he was reporting back to were of the same organization.
Also after the shooting of JFK, both the CIA and FBI claimed he did not work for either of them and they let Oswald “fall”.

Let me add that I don’t believe that it was the entire CIA or FBI that was involved but a few bad elements in both organiztions. Oswald’s personality dictated that he could be used in the way he was used.Some experts claim that only sound, ballistic and forensic “experts” could tell from hich way the shots were fired. That’s like saying that only a meteorologist would know the difference between snow and sleet.

Thank you for a balanced assessment. Everone should read dr. Mary’s onkey by Edward T. haslam, and order the book ME & Lee. We who knewe Lee Oswald know he would never do such a thing. Thank God for the Internet. He was innocent, but tried t penetrate the assassination ring. Knowing too much, the final act of desperation–silencing him even in front of millions of viewers. The Internet bis allowing us to speak out without so much fear. Visit judythvarybaker.com to learn more. p.s. I cannot, however, live safely in my own country. At age 66, I hate that. You might also want to see the documentaries on YouTube that were banned in 2003 after being shown on The hisotyr Channel: EPISODES 7-8-9: The Smoking Guns, The Love Affair-Baker, The Guilty Men. And look for Youtube films that show Lee saying he didn;t kill anyone, that the rifles are not the same as the one he supposedly ordered, that evidence was rigged. It’s news the bought-and-sold media and canned biographies cannot make go away. Thank you so much for writing this article. Judyth Vary Baker & friends

Sorry about tpyos–I have a vision problem! that’s Dr. Mary’s Monkey — learn more at doctormarysmonkey.com about the contaimnated polio viruses, the cover-up about cancer-causing monkey viruses, all in New Orleans, where Oswald at that time was working for both the CIA and FBI on assorted assignments.
Thanks again. JVB

If you want more information on the shooter, look on the internet for James Files, he was the shooter on the grassy knoll, Charles Nicoletti and John Roselli were in the TSBD. I really believe that James Files is telling the truth on this one.

Sorry but Files may have know the story but is discredited by actual research.
