Today we did the final JFK presentation. The house select commitee was appointed to cover assasinations. They looked into the possibility of a second gunman. They believe there might have been a conspiracy. JFK was also unprotected against an assassination attempt. Warren Report said that they had only one shooter and the select commitee researched into the conspiracys before they came to any conclusions.Conspiracy theorys. The first was the Cuban Theory. Cuban exiled were said to be sold out and this is why they might have done this. Supposedly Oswald was just following the Cubans out of the building and was framed for the murder. Another reason was that we pulled out our air support during an invasion when it was promised. This made them mad and might have tried for revenge. Another was Castro did it to revenge attempts on his life from our mafia ties.Another theory is the the K.G.B. had something to do with it. Because of the Cuban Missle Crisis Russia would have been upset and they might have had something to do with this.I learned a lot about these conspiracy theorys and I learned something about these that I wouldn't have known. Some of these were the possibility of the cubans framing Oswald.Then we went back to Mr. Bruns' powerpoint. The first thing that he talked about was Lyndon Johnson. He was in the car behind Kennedy and he was tackled by Secret Service to avoid him getting shot too. Then they took Kennedy to Parkland Hospital where they tryed everything to revive him where Conally wasnt treated right away. The investigation should have been taken over by the doctors at the hospital and the Dallas police. This leads to conspiracys that the secret service was involved in the shooting.Lydon Johnson was sworn in on Air Force One while they were taking Kennedy's body. There was still bad blood between Johnson and the Kennedys. He basically told Bobby to get all of the stuff out of the Oval Office. Johnson then gave a speech to the people telling them about how they are in dark times after this death.The funeral was on his son's birthday. John John saluted his dad's casket as it drove by. He was 3 or 4 years old and nobody knows why he did so.
