Well, I read something recently that was really interesting. Apparently Oswald was acting alone and trying to assassinate Kennedy but apparently what happened was after the first shot one of the armed guards travelling in the car behind stood up (they were travelling in a convertible like Kennedy's) and grabbed his gun, as the second shot went off, the driver of that car accelerated and the guard fell backwards accidentally discharging his gun and that was the shot that killed Kennedy.
I'm not sure if I believe it or not but it does sorta explain the "magic bullet" theory and there's a picture of an armed guard standing up in a convertible behind Kennedy. It also explains how a mid-powered rifle can completely obliterate a mans skull from that distance.
For what it's worth I don't think that Johnson was behind it - there's NO WAY that would've been kept secret. They can't even keep track of where the presidents coϲk has been.... what chance have they of covering up the biggest assassination in the Western world????

A possibility. Kennedy's mistress Judith Exner was also the mistress of Sam Giancana, one of the top bosses in the Chicago mob.
The mob had expected that for their "help" in Chicago in the 1960 election that they would get an easy ride. Instead RFK, Jack's brother and attorney-general, went after them pretty ruthlessly.
They hired Lee Harvey Oswald without him realizing who they were. Then after the assassination, they sent Dallas club owner, Jack Ruby (a former runner for the mob in Chicago) to silence Oswald before he gave the FBI too many details.

Oswald, per the Warren Commission. FYI, Richard Nixon was in the area during the time of the assassination.

3. Because you can see in the Zapruder film that Kennedy is hit with bullets coming from two different locations. The first one made his head and torso slump forward and the second one made his head and a piece of his scalp/skull fly backward ...and because LBJ had nothing to do with it, the mob did it

All evidence indicates that Oswald, a wacko who took advantage of the US's and Texas's idiotically lax gun laws, acted alone.
Ruby, a similar wacko, also acted alone.
Conspiracy theorists tend to underestimate the utter lunacy and gun-worship of a large number of Texans, in 1963 as in 2015. Remember, Oswald and Ruby are just the predecessors of the morons who thought Jade Helm was an Obama plot to invade their stupid state.

Jackie Kennedy gave a sealed document to an attorney, to be opened 50 years after her death. You'll just have to wait to find out.
