Case Closed?
Oswald fired 3 shots (missed the first one) The assassination was filmed (Zapruder) The government investigated the murder for
years and concluded that Oswald acted alone. Virtually no witness at that time gave
indication that more than 3 shots were fired at Kennedy.
However. . . .

80% of people today believe JFK was killed
by someone else!!!!

Conspiracy Theories?!? Did Castro kill JFK? Did the Russians kill JFK? Mob control of Oswald and Ruby? The Mafia, since RFK was cracking down on them as
the Attorney General? LBJ with or without the CIA? The CIA? Badge Man? Umbrella Man? Single Bullet Theory?
Magic Bullet Theory? Two shooters? (Picket Fence Shooter?) Grassy Knoll? (“Back and to the left,” shot in the
front?)
![Page 23: Kennedy Assassination](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103006/56812b32550346895d8f3c2e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
To make matters worse. . . Oliver Stone made a movie
called JFK in 1992. The movie is full of errors,
lies and bad science.
• Oswald could not have shot JFK from the sixth floor in less than 6 seconds.
• Kennedy was shot from the front by gunmen on the grassy knoll.
• Jack Ruby killed Oswald on orders from the mafia to keep Oswald quiet about everything.
Stone’s JFK helped advance these conspiracy-theories about the
assassination:

Could Oswald have made those shots?
Yes! Oswald was a
sharpshooter trained by the US Marines.
He scored a 212 out of 250 on a 200 yard shooting range.
JFK’s car was only 50 yards away from the sniper’s nest and moved 10mph

So, what do you think?
On Monday, you will be watching the film “Beyond Conspiracy,” which details the conspiracy theories and helps understand them. It uses the actual footage from that day. After viewing the film, you will need to be
able to discuss which theory you think is most likely.
