Today in hisory the last group presented and we went over Mr. Bruns' JFK Powerpoint.House Select Comittee on Assassinations created to investigate the assassination of JFK. There is some evidence that leads to the possibility of two gunmen, but it is believed that he was killed because of a conspiracy. Secret Service was not prepared to protect JFK. CIA didn't share much information after. Warren Report did not investigate the possibility of conspiracy, and the HSCA had more sources so they were able to look at everything.Conspiracy Theories:Cuban Theory: Cuban rightwing assassinated him because they felt like they were sold out. Thought that Fidel Castro had him murdered because of mafia attempts, and Oswald was framed because he could have been following them. Bay of Pigs operation trained Cubans to defend against Castro, which might have jupset him.K.B.G. involvement Theory: Russians embarrassed by Cuban Missile Crisis, so they wanted revenge.Mr. Bruns' JFK PP:Lyndon Johnson and John Kennedy did not get along very well, but ran with him for votes. Lyndon Johnson in car behind JFK. Jack was driven to Parkland Hospital, and doctors tried eveything possible to save him. Nelli Conally was upset that doctor did not tend to her husband immediately. Law said that his body should have stayed in Dallas, but Secret Service took him back. Conspiracy-why would they take him unless you have something to hide. Johnson sworn in on Air Force One by a judge very quickly. Johnson told Bobby to be out of oval office in 24 hours, which contributed to the conspiracy theory. Johnson adressed the nation.John John saluted his father when driven by at funeral, touching moment. John John died in plane crash in 1999.
