For what reason was John F. Kennedy assasinated?

Question

I have always wondered what the motive was behind this awful tragedy, and would force a person to do such a gruesome thing as to kill him. Any sort of help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Some say that it was a cuban communist inside job...I think it was the goverment or even the unions...My father who was a cop in 61 was a body gaurd for kennedy...He was also a high ranking goverment official now retired...He once told me that oswald missed his shots and that a new secret service recruit auctually was the one that shot him in the back of the head...Aparently the guy got startled by the shots and opened fired accidently killing him...It was all a cover up from there..

Answer 2

It was a lone nut, Lee Harvey Oswald, that carried out the assassination. He wanted fame and got it.

Oswald shot Kennedy from behind in a building called the Texas Schoolbook Depository. Many conspiracy theorists say he was shot from the front, from an area called the "Grassy Knoll."

If you visit Dealey Plaza in Dallas, take the time to go stand behind the fence where they say the "grassy knoll shooter" was located. You won't be able to see the spot marked on the road where Kennedy was hit with the fatal shot. If your eyes follow the road from the intersection at the top of the hill to the location of the fatal shot, you'll see that there are obstacles all along the path, and snipers will tell you that in order to track a shot like that, they need a clear path.

Answer 3

No one knows for sure, the answer went to Oswald's grave with him. There are many theories, some say it was a mob hit, some say it was a communist conspiracy, some even say Johnson had it done, the list is endless. As I remember, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone. I'm sure if you do a word search you can find a lot of info on it.

Answer 4

JFK did not want a Vietnam war and that would have angered war mongering generals enough to kill him. JFK wanted to rid the depletion allowance on oil; that could have done it as well. But not even ridding the depletion allowance could compare to the effect that EO 11110 & printing our own money would have on the international bankers. (Several links provided below) With research, one could come to the conclusion that President Lincoln was assassinated for about the same reason: He declined to pay 36 percent interest to the Rothschild group and opted to print our own money. Yes, I believe that it was Executive Order 11110 that brought down Kennedy. But one should do their own extensive research on the Rothschilds, Illuminati, New World Order, CFR, Bilderbergs, Adam Weiskaupt, and more ... then reach one's own conclusion as to the realness and viability of the evidence.

Answer 5

General Lansdale (among other military & CIA honchos) felt that JFK was way too weak on foreign policy; and was going to destroy the U.S. by giving in to the Soviets.

These honchos didn't like his unwillingness to launch an all-out assault on Cuba, during the Missile Crisis. Curtis Lemay, etal were completely disgusted by JFK's weak response.

Watch the Interview with Lt Col. Fletcher Prouty on Stones' "JFK" DVD; and watch the portion of the movie "The Fog of War" that discusses the Cuban missile crisis.

Answer 6

I don't know. Maybe Oswald killed him, maybe he just part of a team of shooters, or maybe he had nothing to do with at all, and took the fall for a rogue element of our government. We will never know what actually happened. Our government pissed on us that day, and botched the investigation at every step after that, including putting a man that Kennedy had PERSONALLY fired in charge of investigating the president's murder. Do you believe that this would happen today???? Probably.

Answer 7

I don't think even Oswald knew why he did it. Before he killed Kennedy, he had tried to kill right-wing loudmouth General Edwin Walker, but failed. Maybe he just wanted to be a "somebody" in the easiest, stupidest way it can be done.

Answer 8

This question illustrates what is wrong with government secrecy. Look how many different ideas have been given, my opinion is that this has been so manipulated and covered up that even if government comes clean no one will believe it. Which may have been the purpose of all the obfuscation.

Answer 9

IMHO, he wouldn't play ball with the powers that be. He refused to sign off for Operation Northwoods. Operation Northwoods was a plan to stage terror attacks against the US, blame Cuba and go to war. Kennedy refused. Also, he wanted to do away with the Federal Reserve. This upset the big banking cartel.

"On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority:

'to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the treasury....'

Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over the creation of money."

Answer 10

Since Lee Harvey Oswald is nothing more than "bone dust," we'll really never know.
