Conspiracy Theories

JFK

Today marks the 47th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

If they accomplish nothing else, political killings generate tourist destinations and conspiracy theories.  And, of course, conspiracy theories generate movies – Leonardo DiCaprio has announced that he will produce and star in yet another film about the assassination of JFK.

Whether the scene is Dealey Plaza – the X marks the location of the limousine was when the President was hit,  Dealey11

or Béal na mBláth, the site of Michael Collins’ ambush,

the spots where well loved and/or controversial leaders were killed continue to draw crowds.

As for conspiracies, we all know who was behind the plot to kill Caesar, or do we?
