Kennedy Assassination Theories
On the 40th Anniversary of the Greatest Unsolved Murder of All Time: The Assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
Theories
Note that the some of the following people and groups have been claimed by
some to have been working together and as such these different theories are not always viewed as mutually exclusive.
1. Vice President Lyndon Johnson organized or took part in the assassination. Johnson had the most to gain from Kennedy’s death, as it promoted him to the presidency.
President Kennedy had discussed with his closest aides (and even discussed with his personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln) that he was thinking of dropping him before the 1964 U.S. presidential election. Richard Nixon, who was also in Dallas from November 20, 1963, until just an hour before Kennedy arrived, was quoted in the November 22, 1963, Dallas newspaper saying he also believed Kennedy would drop Johnson.
President Kennedy was most likely seriously thinking about removing Johnson because of the fact that Johnson was the subject of 4 criminal investigations involving government contracts, money laundering, bribes, murder, etc., (All 4 scandals “disappeared” after November 22, 1963), Johnson biographers agree that Johnson was politically aggressive and power-hungry, and others have written that Johnson was an agent of the mafia�being blackmailed by the mafia with several of his past criminal actions.
2. The U.S. “Military-industrial complex,” which had been preparing for an escalation of the Vietnam War since the French withdrew from Vietnam in 1955, knew that President Kennedy had seriously discussed plans and implemented actions to withdraw U.S. troops from Vietnam. At the moment that President Kennedy was killed, over 1000 U.S. troops were in the air on their way home as part of President Kennedy’s initial steps of withdrawing from Vietnam.
3. The CIA, or, rogue CIA agents, killed Kennedy for a number of reasons, mainly for not backing the CIA-orchestrated Bay of Pigs Invasion with air support. After the failed Cuban invasion, Kennedy fired CIA Director and future Warren Commission commissioner, Alan Dulles, and vowed to his closest advisors to “break the CIA into a thousand pieces” and possibly install his brother, Robert F. Kennedy as the CIA Director.
4. John Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy (who was also assassinated in 1968, when he ran for president) were killed by the Mafia in retaliation for their increasing crackdowns (12 times the number of prosecutions under Eisenhower) against organized crime. Documents that the Warren Commission never saw have revealed
that the mafia was working very closely with the CIA on several assassination attempts of Fidel Castro. The CIA under the Kennedys approached the mafia because the CIA recognized the mutual motives of ousting Castro with the mafia’s motive being the reclaiming of billions of dollars that the mafia lost from gambling, drugs, prostitution, etc. when Castro seized the mafia’s assets in 1959.Jimmy Hoffa,Carlos Marcello,Sam Giancana,Johnny Rosselli, and Santo Trafficante Jr., all of whom except for Hoffa worked with the CIA on the Castro assassination plots, top the list of the House Select Committee on Assassinations mafia suspects. The family of Chicago mafia Godfather Sam Giancana claims the Kennedys double-crossed him after the mafia, via workers unions that the Illinois mafia controlled, had helped Kennedy be elected President. Ruby had grown up working for mafia leader Al Capone in Chicago.
5. Angry Cuban anti-Castro exiles trained by and still working with the CIA killed Kennedy for his failure to give greater backing to the failed Bay of Pigs operation to overthrow Castro’s Communist dictatorship.
6. J.Edgar Hoover did not want to retire even though he was approaching in 1964, the then-mandatory government retirement age of 65 and would be retired by President Kennedy. Hoover often told his aides that he despised the Kennedys. Hoover may have been a gay transvestite. He lived with one of his male lieutenants, Cartha DeLoach. If true, and if the mafia knew of Hoover’s sexual preference, the mafia could have been blackmailing Hoover to secure his silence whether Hoover knew about the assassination conspirators beforehand, after, or not. This blackmail by the mafia of Hoover, like Hoover’s good friend and next-door neighbor Lyndon Johnson,may have also extended to any investigations cover-up and guaranteed Hoover’s compliance and silence after the assassination. It is documented that before President Kennedy was elected, that Hoover rarely acknowledged even the existence of the mafia. After Kennedy became president the prosecutions of the mafia by the Robert F. Kennedy-led Justice Department (of which the FBI was/is a part of) increased elevenfold. After President Kennedy was murdered, Justice Department mafia prosecutions reverted to pre-Kennedy levels. In 1964,
just days before his Warren Commission testimony, Hoover was appointed Director of the FBI “for life” by Kennedy’s successor, Johnson.
7. Persons who were politically to the far right, specifically oil businessmen and their supporting bankers, many from Texas, who stood to lose billions of dollars of profits because President Kennedy wanted to discontinue the 27.5 percent oil depletion tax credit allowance.
8. Cuban President Fidel Castro‘s agents killed President Kennedy in retaliation for the many times the CIA and Mafia
had worked together and tried to kill Castro. In September 1963, Castro publicly warned the U.S. about American leaders not being safe if they think they could kill him. On November 221963, an agent of the CIA was assigned to kill Castro with a poison-pen weapon at their next meeting. It is notable that in 1962, the Kennedy’s had ordered the CIA to cease the assassination attempts against Castro. The CIA ignored the president’s order, and continued with assassination training and attempts, unbeknownst to the president or Robert Kennedy. Starting in the second half of 1963, it is also documented that President Kennedy, through private back channels, had approached Castro with overtures of a reproachment in relations.
9. The Federal Reserve (the central bank of the United States) was threatened by Kennedy’s intentions concerning restoring precious-metals backing to U.S. currency.(Note that the Secret Service was created as a anti-money-counterfeiting agency, and was until 2003, an organ of the Treasur, a direct line from the Fed to Kennedy’s security. The same anti-hard-currency motive is suspected in the Garfield and Lincoln assassinations.
10.The Israeli government was displeased with Kennedy for his pressure about their top-secret nuclear program (see Dimona and Mordechai Vanunu) and/or, the Israelis were angry over Kennedy’s employment of Nazis such as Wernher von Braun.
11. South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem found out in June 1963
during electronic surveillance of the U.S. embassy in South Vietnam that the U.S. was helping his political enemies plan a coup against Diem. Diem was also profiting from exporting drugs from the Asia “golden triangle” to the French mafia and on to North America via the U.S. mafia and if he were ousted in a coup, millions of dollars of Diem’s drug profits would be lost. Even though Diem was killed in a coup on November 2, 1963, the plans to assassinate Kennedy went ahead for revenge and/or because of Diem’s illegal co-entanglements with the world mafia organizations and the mafia motives.
12. Kennedy was killed to prevent World War III, a direct nuclear war with the Soviets. While Kennedy would be outwardly insulting and embarrassing to Soviet leaders, he was in reality perceived by the Communists as too young, idealistic and inexperienced for the Soviets to take him seriously. Kennedy was considered to be the ultimate cause for the breakdown in relations between the US and USSR, culminating in the Cuban Missile Crisis. The high tensions of this event led many to fear that Kennedy’s rhetoric could only lead to a nuclear war against the Soviet Union. Hard-line planners had decided to take the initiative in replacing Kennedy. Another side effect of killing Kennedy was that it would demoralize Americans. This theory is highly unlikely, as KGB documents(http://impiousdigest.com/lbj/KGB.gif) released after the fall of the Soviet Union state that the KGB’s report to Russian leadership on Kennedy’s death specifically accused Lyndon Johnson.
13. Kennedy was killed as part of an elaborate Freemasonic ritual.
14. JFK was assassinated at the direction of Aristotle Onassis and his illuminati group.
15. Kennedy was killed by avenging persons who plotted to defend the honor of first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, who had supposedly suffered greatly through the repeated indignity of JFK’s alleged compulsive womanizing.
16. In an effort to relieve the severe physical and emotional pain with which he was plagued, John F. Kennedy took the unusual step of planning the assassination himself and thus in effect indirectly committed suicide, which his Roman Catholic faith would not permit him to do directly. Earlier in 1963, JFK had spoken to friends about making arrangement for his death.
17. Kennedy’s death was staged; there is no hard evidence that he was in fact killed in 1963, and the description of the body on which the autopsy was performed does not match JFK’s actual body.
18. Kennedy was been considered as acting under substantial influence of the Soviets, the assassination was found to be the least traumatic remedy of that situation. The theory can include many parts of the theories above.
19. Kennedy was killed by European assasins, possibly the infamous French terrorist Carlos the Jackal. Note that Kennedy was shot in the throat, the trademark of Carlos the Jackal. This theory is posed in the fictional book The Bourne Ultimatum.

Johnson, Vietnam, and World War III
�
One of the combined-theories for the assassination of Kennedy was that it served to replace a young, reckless, and disregarded Kennedy with a mature and forceful Johnson. Johnson, who may or may not have had a role, would likely (or would have been known to) pursue the strategy of escalating the conflict in Vietnam, and the defense industry profits derived from the war, to the maximum. The assassination itself was orchestrated by various intelligence officials, who recruited sympathetic figures from criminal organizations to do the act itself. According to the theory, Johnson was either thought of as better suited than Kennedy, was blackmailed because he was being investigated for complicity in 4 investigations, and/or Johnson was simply part of the plan itself. The degrees to which Johnson had acted out of personal greed or perceived necessity are speculative. At some point, it was decided that Kennedy should be replaced, and a patsy pro-Communist assassin would both distance Johnson from the assassination, and to set the public agenda again toward “fighting communism.”
It is interesting that Johnson also used the potential threat of at least forty-million Americans being killed in a World War III when he persuaded Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren to head the Warren Commission. (Warren, initially, did not want to head the commission)
The Cold War was by far the most urgent issue, and the young Kennedy was perceived as being both reckless and unauthoritative in the eyes of the Soviets. Because of these factors, many had feared that Kennedy would inevitably draw the US closer to an all-out war with the USSR; the Bay of Pigs
and the Cuban Missile Crisis, despite having “ended successfully” were in fact complete failures in the view of many in security planning and intelligence. The general US plan (of which Kennedy had originally supported) included the inflammation of the existing Vietnam conflict (hoping
to be a pressure valve for tensions with the USSR), but it had not yet been put fully into motion.
Central to the “strategy” was the portrayal of the conflict as one between a Communist North and an “anti-Communist” South, when instead it was civil war within the South between an ethnic minority in power, and a peasant majority that was open-minded to the North’s communist land reform policies. The U.S. and the minority Vietnamese government would “purge” the country of its majority political dissidents. Less than six years after Kennedy’s assassination, even the once hard-line Johnson had begun to concede that the cruel realities of the Vietnam War could not be reconciled with its claimed “anti-Communist” intent, and he declined to run for a second term. Kennedy’s first years in office confirmed to critics that he was not capable of projecting the seriousness required to effectively confront Soviet expansion. He had also begun to understand that escalation of conflict in Vietnam would lead to mass-scale human slaughter, and had started to recall U.S. forces, turning backward on the plan which he had previously been in support of. Johnson, unlike Kennedy would pursue the Indochina proxy war strategy with gusto, immediately resending recalled troops back to Vietnam, and continuing in the policy of escalation.
Shortly after Kennedy’s assassination, Johnson increased US involvement in Vietnam, and ordered the fabrication of the Gulf of Tonkin incident as a way to publicize the war to Americans as an aggression by the North. This quick change in US policy is a key issue that confirms for many Johnson’s role in Kennedy’s death.

After doing some researching, this actually sounds the most plausable:
MAFIA hit. Kennedy wanted the MAFIA to whack Castro, but Bobby comes along and tries to bust all the MAFIA.
You don’t fuck with the mob.
