Why did Texas oil industry kill John F. Kennedy?
The "Texas oil industry" is only one of the many contenders in the numerous conspiracy theories around JFK's assassination. Other groups assumed and named to have been behind this are (among others): the Mafia, the CIA, the Russian KGB, Castro, the anti-Castro movement, the FBI, Israel, and US big business. Or combinations of any of these groups. For the assumed 'second shooter' over 25 names have been mentioned, although without a shred of hard evidence.
The major reason for all these names and theories is that it is almost impossible that Lee Harvey Oswald could have fired three shots within a few seconds with a non-automatic rifle that had a faulty telescopic visor and nevertheless with 3 bullets hit 3 bullseyes on a moving target from a great distance. One of his few statements before he was killed himself, was that he had been set up. Only he did not say by whom.
For each and every group or person suggested to be responsible, clever arguments have been made. But not a single piece of evidence ever has emerged to conclusively connect anyone else to the killing, and that also goes for 'Texas oil industry'.
Was John F. Kennedy killed by a group of people or only one person?
By one. Both shots that hit him came from the rear, toward where Lee Harvey Oswald and his rifle were.

What should you do when you get your first f?
Look over the test, see where you went wrong and re look over the information. Most people panic, but there's nothing wrong with failing an exam/course. You might have had an off day for the exam, or just not studied enough. Looking through the test again will help you identify what areas you need to focus on.
What was JFK best and the brightest?
The focus of the book is on the foreign policy crafted by the academics and intellectuals who were in John F. Kennedy's administration, and the consequences of those policies in Vietnam.
Here President Kennedy is reminding us of the unfortunate lessons of history, especially of the 20th century when western Europe, Great Britain, Canada and the US stood by and watched as the rights of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and others were gradually eroded, then finally trampled under the authority of Nazi Germany and its allies, including Italy and Vichy France.
The process was incremental and, at first hardly noticeable. With each small step Nazi Germany became more bold and each small step to diminish the rights of one group, (for example, homosexuals ) lead to another move (against gypsies), then to another move (against Jews ), then, when Hitler was sure the neighbouring powers were sufficiently indifferent, he moved against Czechoslovakia, then finally against Poland.
The result was a devastating war that served finally to remind us that we truly are connected and share a common destiny. The lesson is that, if we cared enough about the diminished rights of homosexuals to take positive steps to protect them, then the conditions would not have existed for the Nazi's to move on to gypsies, then to Jews then to neighbouring states.
The question is always, "Do we care enough to take steps to defend others or must we always wait in indifference until we ourselves are threatened?"
