JFK assassination conspiracy
The nation was suffering when word spread like fire that JFK was assassinated. Abraham Zapruder, an amateur cameraman, caught on his camera the a recording that will become the first presidential assassination captured on film. The events that happened minutes and days after the event shocked the nation and the whole world.
The inconsistencies, oversights, exclusions of evidence, errors, changing stories, or changes made to witness testimony in the official Warren Commission investigation made JFK assassination conspiracy one of the most known conspiracies in the world and has fascinated conspiracy theorists for more than 45 years.
Let’s examine some of the facts surrounding the event.
The murder weapon
The police told the press that the weapon found in the School Book Depository was a 7.65 Mauser. The same thing was reported by the news media although Lee Harvey Oswald never owned a 7.65 Mauser. Later, the investigators identified the weapon as a 6.5 Italian Mannlicher Carcano, the weapon that Oswald did own. Of course the Warren Commission concluded that a 6.5 Manlicher-Carcano was used and not the 7.65 Mauser.

Documents kept secret
Many documents including some from the Warren Commission investigation, the Church Committee investigation and the House Special Committee on Assassinations investigation were kept secret from the public. These documents included John F. Kennedy’s autopsy records. A conspiracy theorist noted that “There exists widespread suspicion about the government’s disposition of the Kennedy assassination records stemming from the beliefs that Federal officials (1) have not made available all Government assassination records (even to the Warren Commission, Church Committee, House Assassination Committee) and (2) have heavily redacted the records released under FOIA in order to cover up sinister conspiracies.”
Some of these documents were not scheduled to be released until 2029.
Witnesses intimidation
Jean Hill, Richard Carr, Roy Truly, Sandy Speaker, and A. J. Millican were some of the witnesses of the assassination, or to events connected to the assassination. They were threatened and intimidated by the government. Acquilla Clemmons claimed she was told to keep quiet about what she saw by a man with a gun who came to her home.
Witnesses’ Deaths
A suspiciously large number of deaths of people connected with the investigation of the assassination was noted. Jim Marrs points out that “these deaths certainly would have been convenient for anyone not wishing the truth of the JFK assassination conspiracy to become public.”
The inconsistencies in JFK assassination conspiracy are a lot. Some witnesses thought that the shots came from two directions while other eyewitnesses thought the shots came from the Depository, or at least in that direction. Numerous witnesses reported hearing gunfire coming from the Dal-Tex Building, which is located across the street from the Texas School Book Depository. Many conspiracy theories posit that at least one shooter was located in the Dal-Tex Building
Former U.S. Marine sniper Craig Roberts and Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, who was the senior instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School said: “We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don’t know how many times we tried it, but we couldn’t duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now if I can’t do it, how in the world could a guy who was a non-qual on the rifle range and later only qualified ‘marksman’ do it?”
There are a lot of mysteries surrounding JFK’s assassination. A long time will pass till we’ll find out the truth. This puts JFK assassination conspiracy in the top 10 conspiracies of all time.
