13. JFK
Although John F. Kennedy was a U.S. president, he was also a huge celebrity. He was reportedly involved with Marilyn Monroe, and he had a lot of friends in high places. He was relatively young, good-looking, and was incredibly charismatic.
The official story is that J.F.K. was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, who was acting alone when he shot a sniper rifle aimed at the president who was travelling in a car through Texas. This is almost universally accepted as a lie. Even the United States Select Home Committee on Assassinations decided in 1979 that he was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.”
There are a number of things that are very suspicious about his death. Witnesses report hearing gunshots from multiple directions, implying there was more than one shooter. The bullets hit the president from different angles. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot before he could stand trial. Whoever wanted the president dead obviously didn’t want any mistakes, and cut all loose ends. But why kill John F. Kennedy? Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t actually have any reason to kill JFK, which means he was merely an assassin, put in place by someone else. A well known theory is that it was the C.I.A. that had him killed, seemingly because his views were not in accordance to their own, particularly in regards to the Vietnam war.
