The Assassination of JFK
To this day, President John F. Kennedy’s murderer continues to be a contentious issue. On November 22, 1963, former President John F. Kennedy was shot and wounded in Dallas, Texas while riding in a motorcade. He died at the age of 46. On live television, two days after he was arrested for assassinating the president, Lee Harvey Oswald was fatally shot.
Such an incident would naturally produce a slew of conspiracy theories, and the phenomenon is true. The most accepted theory is that the CIA recruited Oswald in response to President Kennedy’s communist views on Cuba and the Bay of Pigs invasion. Others believe that the Soviet Union, Cuba, or organized crime were responsible for his assassination. His death still baffles researchers today, and new ideas keep emerging.
