Assassination of John F. Kennedy
The assassination of a U.S. President is the most violent single act, short of war, which can be inflicted upon the American society. The President is our only nationally elected official and is the individual embodiment of national hopes and aspirations. It is through the President by which we each are, individually and personally, linked to the fundamental ideals of the Republic, idealized by the Founding Fathers and expressed in the Constitution. Consequently, a presidential assassination mandates not only criminal investigation, but also creates the requirement for a national inquest to define the political and constitutional implications of such a crime. No stone can be left unturned, no clue overlooked, and no possibility ignored in the investigation of a presidential assassination.
It has been over thirty years since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) and there still remain many significant and disturbing questions among a notable portion of the population, regarding the how and why of his death. The sheer volume of these strange coincidences and connections has led some parties to suggest many different answers to the Kennedy case. For every powerful group or figure with something to gain from Kennedy’s death, there is a theorist ready to explain how that group arranged the murder.
As additional conflicting information is made available, it becomes harder to decipher what actually happened in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963; however, at the same time, it is becoming clearer that the shooter did not act alone. Based on acoustical evidence, it has now been proven (with 96.3% certainty) that four shots were fired at JFK, three from behind, and one from the right-front of the President's limo. As we attempt to assemble the pieces of this puzzle into some logical conclusions, it appears that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy involving the Mafia. Although organized crime was not involved on a national level, local Mafia members (mostly from Chicago and...
