JFK assassination
The shot heard for 60 years.
President Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The Warren Commission concluded Oswald acted alone, but polling has long shown most Americans doubt that finding, and alternative theories remain widespread.
~speculative
Quick facts
- →Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby on live TV before ever standing trial — for many, that alone smells like a cover-up.
- →The Warren Commission had 10 months and thousands of pages. Most Americans have never bought its conclusion.
- →Declassified 2017-2022: thousands of pages of CIA files, and still no smoking gun for a wider plot.
- →Every major alternative theory — mafia, CIA, Cuba — has decades of investigation and zero definitive proof.
- →Oswald spent less than three years in the Marine Corps before defecting to the Soviet Union — and the U.S. let him back in two years later with barely a question asked.
- →The Zapruder film, the only clear video of the shooting, was privately owned and rarely shown publicly for over a decade after the assassination.
