Assassination of John F. Kennedy: An unsolved mystery
John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was shot dead on November 22nd 1963 in broad daylight and in full view of thousands of people. The murder went down in American history as the “mystery of the century”.
For Washington, so proud of its judicial system, 49 years have proved not enough to ensure that this mystery is no longer a mystery. On the contrary, Wahsington has been doing its utmost to conceal the truth.
The official version of the assassination was laid out in a 800-page document known as the Report of the Warren Commission. The commission, appointed by John F. Kennedy’s successor, Texas millionaire Lyndon Johnson, came to the conclusion that President Kennedy became a victim to a lone assassin whose motives, the report said, were unclear.
At present, there are grounds to believe that the Americans and the rest of the world were offered ‘to buy’ a rough and ready fake that was provided with an official stamp of the US. Volumes of research by a number of highly influential experts indicate the discrepancy of evidence supplied by the Report of the Warren Commission whose conclusions are frequently inconsistent with reality.
Many of those who could testify in court in connection with the murder died under strange circumstances, one after another, over a fairly short period of time.
I had every chance to see it for myself when I arrived in Dallas shortly after the assassination and tried to carry out a journalistic inquiry. Lee Bowers, a rail worker, recalled that he had seen a man with a rifle in front of the presidential limousine, not behind it from where Oswald shot, but “they wouldn’t listen”. Police officer Frank Martin led me to a water hatch from where, he was sure, the fatal shots had been made. No one wanted to listen to him either. Fairly soon, both men died under mysterious circumstances. Top on the list of unwanted witnesses who died in unclear circumstances was Lee Harvey Oswald, who apparently had played the part of a decoy-duck in the assassination plot and was killed one day later. The number of people who were killed in the aftermath of the Kennedy murder exceeded 50.
Evidence of a well-organized conspiracy to kill President Kennedy is so evident that the lone assassin version holds no water and discredits the judicial system of democratic America. Meanwhile, the unwanted truth is still kept under lock. The storage rooms of the Department of Justice have 25 large boxes with witness accounts and other files that the Washington authorities consider unnecessary to make public.
They deem it unnecessary because the testimony in question could easily invalidate the official explanation of one of the most high-profile cases in the US political history and because the release of these files would definitely inspire no respect for the US justice.
Publication of these top-secret files is also unadvisable because attempts to draw up lists of other people’s sins and include them in Congress resolutions are unlawful, if not outright immoral.
The “mystery of the century” remains a mystery because whoever is assigned to solve it has no intention of doing so.
