The circumstances surrounding the assassination of US President John F Kennedy on 22 November 1963 spawned immediate suspicions of a conspiracy. The following year an official investigation by the Warren Commission concluded that there was no conspiracy and that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in firing the shots that killed the president. Today [October 2013] most Americans believe that Oswald did not act alone.[1]. Diligent work by a small army of concerned researchers has uncovered mountains of evidence indicating that the Commission was set up to fail and that the US government itself has, ever since, been involved in a determined, ongoing cover up of what really happened.
As wikispooks user Charles Drago so bluntly and accurately opines "Anyone, with reasonable access to the evidence who does not conclude that JFK was killed by conspirators, is cognitively impaired and/or complicit in the crime".
Subsequent official investigations have confirmed most of the conclusions of the Warren Commission which remains the Official Narrative of the event. However, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded that Kennedy was probably assassinated as the result of a conspiracy, with "...a high probability that two gunmen fired at the President."[2] - but no person or organization was identified by the HSCA as being a co-conspirator.
James Douglass, author of JFK and The Unspeakable, notes that an earlier plan was to assassinate Kennedy in Chicago, but that it never came into effect since the president cancelled that trip.
