Because even though there are allot of people who mindlessly believe everything CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC tell them to believe, there are a good number of people remaining in the world who do have more than adequate education, common sense, and can think for themselves, and furthermore, can draw rational, and logical conclusions based on given facts.

Death is not easy to accept. When you have a President murdered before the public, it is difficult to comprehend one person alone could be responsible for such a horrendous act. The Warren Commision did not help matters as they rushed through testimony and overlooked witnesses and evidence. The fact that Oswald had defected to the Soviets and was welcomed back to America with open arms also made it all seem odd. All Presidents in Office make enemies. It is a fact of life. Not everyone liked JFK. We never had an opportunity to hear from the accused assasin why he may have taken these actions. It is important to remember no one has ever been convicted of killing the President or the attempted murder of Governor Conally. President Kennedy stood face to face with the Soviets, had a disaster with Cuba, and disagreed with his own military leaders. He likely escaped many assassination attempts during his time in office. Only on 22 November, one man brought to an end the American Dream, and it is impossible to believe one person could do the unthinkable. Perhaps when all documents are released in 2055 and 2063 there will be a greater understanding, but like the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, sometimes the truth is just to horrible to believe. In the 43 years since the assassination it would be thought at least one person could bring together a conspiracy theory and prove it through fact just like in a trial, but instead over the years all that has been presented have been books and theories that went no where but to the bookshelf. Fourty three years is a very long time to contain a secret, and after all this time, I doubt very much, as much as I would like to believe otherwise, that JFK was killed as part of a conspiracy theory.

Read the history of the Kennedy and Fitzgerald family, beginning with their immigration. These two families were driven to achieve economically, politically, and socially. Joseph Kennedy, JFK's father, made many political friends (and enemies) while rising to the status he desired. Rose was the daughter of "Honey" Fitzgerald, a very powerful "boss" in New York politics. Joe Kennedy and "Honey" Fitzgerald were not averse to accepting, seeking, or rejecting political favors if those favors advanced their agenda.
The assassinations of JFK and Bobby Kennedy were directed to their father, Joe Kennedy. There was no conspiracy. The assassinations were planned by those who were intent on "taking the old man down", and were willing to go to any lengths to do so.
Was "organized crime" involved. Probably. Does anyone really want to prove it? No. Conveniently, the person accused of killing JFK was killed by a person who was intimate and well known to the judicial system; who, himself, was killed. How convenient.
Sirhan Sirhan, the man accused of shooting and killing Robert Kennedy, was born in Jeruselem of Arab descent. Who better to be chosen to assassinate a dedicated Catholic than an Arab from Jeruselem? Note that Sirhan Sirhan's death sentence was reduced to life in prison. He is still eligible for parole!
There was no conspiracy in the death of JFK or his brother, Bobby. Their deaths were well planned and executed by those who are now in power world wide.

You will have to study news events during the time of his assignation. A lot going on and power plays coming down. Of course Viet Nam probably had a lot to do with it. Too many circumstances during that period of history which points to a likely conspiracy. It's something we may never know, people involved will take it to their graves I'm afraid.

A lot of it is wrapped in various UFO conspiracy theories.
