John F. Kennedy Assassination Research Abstract


CSC Abstract on John F. Kennedy Conspiracy research paper:

              My research project is on the assassination of John F. Kennedy and what the conspiracies are behind his death. John F Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963 (Warren). Oswald was captured hours after the assassination, but few short days after Oswald was and murdered by Jack Ruby, leaving many unanswered questions as to why and who else was behind the assassination. In 1978 there were reports from the House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations that said that Oswald may have not acted alone (Rietzes). When this came to light about half of the American population believed it. Also, they believed that Oswald was part of larger group known to be working with the Russians. There was another poll taken in 2003 said that 70% of the American population still believes the assassination was part of a conspiracy (Rietzes). The other 30% believe that the research and investigation done by the Warren Commission is a trustworthy and reliable source, stating that Oswald did act alone thus meaning there is no conspiracy. Classified documents concerning the assassination have recently released which have sparked a new interest in this cold case (Fulsom). Identifying the many different points behind this case and examining the facts are the focal point of my research.
