Consequences and Conspiracy Theories Around John F. Kennedy

Shortly after noon on November 22nd, 1963 President John F Kennedy was assassinated in the state of Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was to blame not only did he take John F Kennedy’s life but seriously wounded Governor Connally luckily, he would recover. Although there is too much evidence to prove otherwise, there are still many conspiracy theories over this topic. Some people believe that Oswald did not act alone and there could have been another shooter. others even believe that the government had set John F. Kennedy up for his own death.

Some say Kennedy was the turning point for America the time. A brand new start on U.S. politics. People even say 1963 was a big turning point in American history. In marked the end of the old generation (Meagher). Someone that was young enough to understand the people. “We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.” – John F. Kennedy Someone that could sympathize and be relatable. Maybe the scared people or motivated people to be better and believe that change could happen. After his death people roared in anger. The even furious enough to attack the government and demand answers. And when they didn’t get them they put together the pieces themselves and out came thousands if not millions of different conspiracy theories. “In a few days people will forget and there will be a new President.” Lee Harvey Oswald

Lee Harvey Oswald was reportedly lonely he probably had to deal with bad childhood memories. All the evidence points towards how Oswald was not mentally stable. And hating Kennedy enough to shoot him only proves further. On the morning that Oswald had pre-planned, he left a note talking about how he was going to shoot the president of the United States. not only leaving this note he had also left pictures of himself holding a rifle the same rifle that he used to shoot John F Kennedy. Oswald is not only just known for the John F Kennedy assassination but also how he assassinated general Edwin Walker in 1963 (Keener).

Maybe people were not satisfied. The way that John F Kennedy had to end his term this is most likely the reason why so many conspiracy theories are made about this. People even contact government officials asking for them to reopen the case and to let all the files out to the public. some think that John F Kennedy was assassinated due to the Communist problem at the time. Communists seem to be invading the US at the time and maybe some people just disappointed in the way that JFK dealt with the issue. Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both (JFK).

Kennedy did many Successful things during his years as president. one of those things was the space race. the Space Race began in 1955 and ended in 1975 against the Russians. call Kennedy saw this as a great way to get the American people motivated and excited, to give them hope. and when the Russians sent up their first man into space we knew we were behind. John F Kennedy pushed for us to start making progress and get our first person into Space as well. although we are always one step behind the Russians we ended up winning the Space Race by sending the first person to the Moon. (Why should man’s first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition? Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction, and expenditure? (JFK)

What if JFK lived or the attack never happened? It is pretty obvious that he would have continued his second term. Things like Vietnam, The Cold War, Necular weapons and Cuba would have been drastically different. He would have resisted war in Vietnam by ending all military involvement. The ultimate objective would have ended up being to stay out of it completely. During the Cold war, JFK would have resisted the soviet union from confronting the US. JFK would have prevented the Cuban misses even further and would have put the Cold war down. People wanted more nuclear missiles and a full nuclear arsenal after the craze of the Cuban Missle Crisis. JFK would have kept denying them on this problem for years to come. JFK would have resisted the urgent calls for the US to destroy the Cubans after they had pointed missiles towards the US. Not only would he have calmed the American population down but he would have talked to the Cubans to clarify things. If JFK survived the bullet from Oswald, the world would most likely be in a better state and would have been more peaceful. He would have kept order well and would have made the American people calm when the crisis hit (Blight).

John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States died in the state of Texas by the hands of Lee Harvey Oswald. Everybody knew the potential that John F Kennedy had. it really is a shame that Lee Harvey Oswald decided to take his life that day. people are so upset about his death they will make up crazy stories about what they think happened. thousands of conspiracy theories came out of the people of the internet. people are furious at the government seeing as they did not give out full information over his death. they wanted to know the secrets that they were hiding as they thought that it could have been important. they were so Furious because they knew how much potential John F Kennedy had as president. he would have kept peace and order to all of the upcoming events that will take place in the United States. things such as the Cold War, Vietnam, nuclear weapons, and the disaster that was unfolding in Cuba. We can only imagine and hope that the United States can I have another president like John F Kennedy yet again.
