John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated on November 23, 1963. The country was in mourning but this day also brought a number of questionable theories and conspiracies. Did the KGB and Cuban’s plot to kill the American President? Did the FBI and CIA plan to remove the president from office for American sake? President John F. Kennedy wasn’t only shot from the 6th floor book depository but also from the elusive grassy knoll.
Experts on bullet analysis and bullet theory believe it is unlucky that there was one single bullet that went through the president’s shoulder and then passed through Governor John Connally’s wrist. Eyewitnesses prove this theory to be wrong in many occasions. Nellie Connally, Govenor Connally’s wife in her book claimed that the bullet that hit her husband was entirely different from the two that hit John F. Kennedy. Roy Kellerman said that he heard a “flurry of shells come into the car” which proves more than three shots were fired because he would have been more distinctive of how many shots. Lee Bowers a railroad operator claimed to have seen a puff of smoke coming from the grassy knoll and two men behind it fleeing. Thirty-five witnesses believed the shots were coming from in front of the president in the direction of the grassy knoll. Robert McClelland a doctor in the emergency room said the wound in the back left corner of President Kennedy’s head was an exit wound instead.
U.S. Marine snipers Craig Roberts and Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Haththingy both professional’s say this shot couldn’t have been done. They reinacted the shot and proved that this shot was a one in a millionth possibility. They proved the single bullet theory was a fluke and the FBI file must have been tampered with. Another plausible theory is the Oswald Clone theory. This theory claims that there were two Oswalds and one was a decoy for the other. This theory was abolished after plenty of photo and dental analysts agreed that there was only one Lee Harvey Oswald. Many believe an unlikely theory that the Federal Reserve ordered the hit because they feared communism after Kennedy ordered that the Treasury was able to print their own silver certificates.
One theory that supports the grassy knoll occurrence is titled the Three Tramps. The Three Tramps were three men riding the railroad by the grassy knoll in box cars. These men were dressed in suits which were unusually for any ordinary 60’s hobo. Also, after these men were talked to by authorities the reports were stricken from the record and never talked about by officials afterwards. The three tramps were later to be claimed as CIA agents or just famous movie stars.
The CIA theory was one of the original theories, the theory is that the CIA felt threatened of Kennedy’s actions. The supposed reason is that Kennedy said to Clark Clifford "Something very bad is going on within the CIA and I want to know what it is. I want to shred the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the four winds.” Alleged reports show that the CIA abused power and might have been involved in the plot to assassinate Patrice Lumumba and Fidel Castro. The actual report of the CIA providing the plotters of President Diem of Vietnam assassination with $24,000 the morning of was found. This report proved that there is a huge possibility that the CIA was involved in some dirty work and possible the assassination of President Kennedy.
The supporting facts that President Kennedy’s death wasn’t done by one single man are evident. The theories of bullet location, witness, the three tramps and CIA aggression prove that there is plenty of foul play in this occurrence. Was President Kennedy really shot only from the book depository or from both there and the grassy knoll? The American people may never know who killed their beloved president. But, we do know there must have been some serious tampering with evidence so that we won’t find out, and that everything leads back to Lee Harvey Oswald.
