The Assassination of John F. Kennedy

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, although there is a sufficient number of incriminating facts against Lee Harvey Oswald Oswald, there is just as much evidence to prove that Oswald was innocent of assassinating President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The author claims that the Central Intelligence Agency was involved because it wanted the United States to enter the Vietnam War, but President Kennedy was reluctant to send our troops. The paper relates that Kennedy's body was most likely tampered with before the autopsy in Washington. The author points out that the Secret Service despised Kennedy because he threatened to disband the FBI several times. The paper concludes that it is obvious that Oswald was framed. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.

From the Paper:

"Later that day when the Knoll was inspected, cigarette butts and fresh footprints were found behind the fence, proving that someone had been there recently. During the motorcade, two men were spotted exchanging hand signals. One of the men would pump his umbrella and the other man raised his right hand. The umbrella was closed until Kennedy was directly opposite the man at which he pumped the umbrella, and the other man raised his right fist in the air. Robert Cutler, an assassination researcher, said the umbrella was likely to be a dart gun (one of the fifty issued by the CIA in 1963) which shot Kennedy in the throat and paralyzed him."
