JFK Assassination Adolf Hitler once said, “The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.” (Posner 135) We can see many examples of this throughout the history of the world. One example is the JFK Assassination. There have been so many different conspiracies over the past thirty years, but the one that most American citizens believe is that one gunman shot Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963.
