  • Chapter 7 the Assassination

    Chapter 7 the Assassination

    Chapter 7: November 22, 1963 Chapter 7 The assassination 1 Introduction Our interest in reviewing the information that is today available to us regarding the events of November 22, 1963, quite naturally focuses on the question as to whether President Kennedy was killed by a lone assassin or by a conspiracy. Other questions pale by comparison to this first and most important question. As we review the eyewitness testimony, we see that the conclusion is not difficult to reach -- that indeed, the President was shot both from the front and the rear. This conclusion can be reached by a consideration of several kinds of evidence: v where the eyewitnesses heard the shots coming from; v eyewitness accounts of the spacing of the shots, which came too close together for the lone assassin hypothesis to be maintained; v the total number of shots was too large for the lone assassin hypothesis to be maintained; v the early shot hitting the President was not the same as the shot hitting Governor Connally, invalidating the lone assassin hypothesis. 1 The route through Dallas The final decision for the President's route in Dallas was determined by Secret Service agent Winston Lawson, on Thursday, November 14.1 The WCR states that "Lawson was not specifi- cally instructed [on Nov. 8] to select the parade route, but he understood that this was one of his functions. Even before the Trade Mart had been definitely selected, Lawson and Sorrels began to consider the best motorcade route from Love Field to the Trade Mart. On November 14, Law- son and Sorrels attended a meeting at Love Field and on their return to Dallas drove over the route which Sorrels believed best suited for the proposed motorcade."2 The route was reviewed and approved by Chief of Police Jesse Curry, Asst.

    The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory

    A Paranoid Style? : The JFK Assassination and the Politics and Culture of Conspiracy Theory Joseph Broadbent Degree of Masters of Arts by Research University of East Anglia School of American Studies January 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis analyses the phenomenon of conspiracy theory, using the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as a case study. Doubt is the root cause of conspiracy theory, stemming from both the innate biases all humans exhibit, and a traumatic experience – in this case the assassination of JFK. This thesis argues that conspiracy theories are created and take hold because of a predisposition toward conspiracy theory, a misinterpretation of a central piece of evidence, such as the Zapruder film, and agency panic, where dispossession causes one to feel as if their agency is under threat. Conspiracy theory can provide believers with many emotions which appear to the individual to not be available elsewhere, namely closure, comfort, control, and a sense of leisure. Using the assassination of JFK, this thesis examines the role of conspiracy theory in modern American society. It weighs up the benefits of conspiracy theory, such as it is an example of free speech and it can aid transparency, with the negatives: that it can possibly cause harm to its adherents and their dependants because of a belief in ends justifying the means.

Instead of welcoming the president, however, the ad asks a series of questions illustrating the authors’ disagreement with many of President Kennedy’s words and actions. At the beginning of the ad the authors refer to the first amendment, claiming their right to “address their grievances” and to question, criticize and disagree with their president. The publication of this unwelcoming and accusatory ad in a prominent city newspaper the day the president was to visit Dallas is a clear demonstration of the exercise of freedom of speech.
