| John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. He was in a family of four boys. As a boy he attended private schools and eventually went to Choate, a college in Connecticut and later attended Harvard. Professors found him as "a pleasant, bright, easygoing student". He worked on the school newspaper and liked playing sports. | |
| Kennedy wrote a book called "Why England Slept". He was uncertain of what he wanted to do so he went to business school at Stanford. Later he tried to enlist in the Army in 1941 but was rejected by an old back injury. After five months of strengthening his back he was accepted for service in the Navy. | |
| Kennedy later became a lieutenant and in command of PT-109, a torpedo boat. On August 2, 1943, the boat was hit by a Japanese ship. Most made it to a nearby island. Kennedy hurt his back again and had to be discharged from the Navy in 1945. In 1946 he ran for the Democratic nomination . Later in 1953 he married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in Newport, Rhode Island. They had three kids. In 1960 Kennedy beat Nixon for president, 303 electoral votes to 219 for Nixon. | |
| Three years into his presidency on November 22, 1963, in Dallas Texas, while riding down the Dealey Plaza shots rang out and hit him in the head and neck. As the news was announced to a shocked nation, Vice President Lyndon Johnson was sworn into presidency. Police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald for the murder. | |
| Two days later, while being transferred to another jail Oswald was shot to death by Jack Rudy, a Dallas nightclub owner. Chief Justice Earl Warren was appointed by President Johnson to investigate the assassination. | |
| After 33 years a number of researchers have concluded that Kennedy's murder was a global network of secret societies which fall under the general description of the Illuminati. Researchers say it was a political conspiracy. It was a ritual known as the "Killing of the Divine King". | |
| There is one suspicious
theory that some believe, it is called the "Umbrella Man".
It is shown in pictures that in the Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963 ,
two men were standing near Kennedy when the shots were fired. One
held an umbrella while anot
her stood on the curb and waved his hand in the air. When Kennedy's limousine went past the "Umbrella Man" the man pumped his umbrella almost two feet in the air and then lowered it again. At that same time, the other man raised his arm and possibly made a fist. |
|
| The man who raised his hand looked black or Hispanic, so they called him the "dark-complected man". The man with the umbrella was the only person in the Dealey Plaza with an open umbrella, there was no reason for this because the warm Texas sun was shining at that time. | |
| There are two main theories that have come up about the "Umbrella Man". One says that the umbrella may have been a dart-firing weapon. The CIA weapons weapons developer told the Senate's Intelligence Committee that such an umbrella was in use in 1963. He explained that it was a silent operating weapon through the webbing when the umbrella was opened. | |
| The second theory though is what most researchers believe, that both men provided signals for the hidden gunman. This presumes that Kennedy was killed by a coordinated crossfire, perhaps with the help of radiomen. | |
| The two men were very close to Kennedy's limousine when he was struck and possibly could have gave signals that JFK was not fatally hit and more shots were needed. Even though most of this makes sense, both the Dallas Police and the Warren Commission ignored these two men in their investigations. | |
