JFK Assasination + Coverup

It was generally believed that the assassination of President Kennedy on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas Texas was the action of the one alleged assassinator, Lee Harvey Oswald. However there appears to be sufficient evidence to suggest that Lee Harvey Oswald was in fact a scapegoat hiding the real perpetrators. It is an extreme unlikelihood that Lee Harvey Oswald could have assassinated Kennedy. There were certain elements, which has lead people to assume that Kennedy’s death was a well-planned governmental and criminal conspiracy. There is also a believed to have been a cover up of the real evidence, certain factors proves so too.

There are many facts and assumptions that are supported by on-the-scene eyewitnesses, past witnesses of ties between certain parties, and expert witness accounts.

In this essay it would first discuss the above points and justify that the assassination was not the work of just one man, Lee Harvey Oswald. It is also going to explain why Oswald himself cannot be the assassin.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a high school dropout in 1956; he left to join the marines. During the marines he got good grades for most of his activities but according to marine records Oswald was a not a competent marksman. He


There have been several attempts to duplicate Oswald’s marksmanship. In the book Reasonable Doubt, by Henry Hurt, he based the shooting on the Zapruder film, and it is largely agreed that all the shooting occurred within a span of 5.6 seconds. He explained how master marksmen (the highest rifle-expert rating of the National Rifle Association) and top FBI agents, tried to match this firing time with Oswald’s rifle in shooting tests. The rickety rifle had been examined thoroughly, but experts found that getting three shots was extremely difficult even for them. Even the shots they could fire in that time span did not match Oswald’s supposed superlative accuracy. Hurt concluded that if expert marksmen cannot shoot at this level, how did a marine who was a poor marksman do it? The answer he said was very simple, Oswald was not alone in the shooting, maybe Oswald did not even shoot.

A further mystery surrounds Lee Harvey Oswald. Thirty seconds after the shooting a police officer claimed he saw Oswald sitting in the 2nd floor cafeteria drinking a coke. That means Oswald hid the gun at the other end of the 6th floor dodging mountains of books and then running down four floors in less than 30 seconds. The police officer said he was not puffing or sweating. If he was not puffed it means he had not been on the sixth floor and therefore cannot be the assassin.

Attorney Tom Howard aged 48 died in March 1965 of what was caused a heart attack. No autopsy was performed showing the fact that someone did not want to expose how he died.

Nicoli was under witness protection and claims he has not seen David for many years. The last time he recalls meeting David was in Brazil and have not kept in touch since then (1972). Nicoli confirmed David’s story that Lucien Sarti was one of the three assassins. But Nicoli gave one piece of information that David did not testify. He said that the assassins were paid in heroin. Heroin was a common form of payment in those times for assassins, as it was easily tradable and able to sell at higher prices.

Many people believed that such intricacies of an assassination must have been works of the Mafia, which were an extremely powerful and influential group in the USA at that time. The Mafia is often known to dress their killers in police or governmental uniform. They were also notorious for having connections with the government.
