Conspiracy Theories: JFK Assassination

US President John F. Kennedy was shot dead by an assassin in Dallas Texas, on Friday November 22^nd, 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was caught, but to this day, people continue to theorize who was really behind it all.

The Mafia:

This theory is about President of the United States John F. Kennedy, who is assassinated by a shady organized crime group. Before Kennedy was elected, several mafia families worked with his father, Joseph Kennedy, in order to get JFK into office. During his presidency, Fidel Castro topples over Cuba’s government and actual documents confirm the CIA tried to get a mafia family to kill Castro out of a mutual benefit. Many organized crime groups were angry at Kennedy after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. To top it all off, despite the mafia’s help to get Kennedy into office, his younger brother the attorney general, Robert pushed a legal attack on organized crime. The mafia killed Kennedy, in spite of the fact they had a connected past.

Lyndon B Johnson:

This theory is about President of the United States John F. Kennedy, who is assassinated as part of a diabolical plot by his Vice President Lyndon B Johnson. LBJ had a financial scandal that made him fear for his job at Kennedy’s next election. He was also hungry for the power of the being the President. Kennedy was on a visit to Dallas, Texas, Johnson’s home state. Many of Johnsons people helped arrange the trip JFK took. A smudged finger-print on the back of Kennedy’s assassin’s gun is supposedly the fingerprint of Malcom Wallace, an associate of LBJ. Johnson also took steps to cover up the assassination afterwards, claiming that JFK’s killer Oswald, professed on his death bed that he did it.

The CIA

This theory is about President of the United States John F. Kennedy, who is assassinated as part of a plot assembled by his very own CIA. Kennedy finds outs that his own CIA has been making plans to kill Fidel Castro of Cuba. Out of concern for the potential repercussions of their decisions, the CIA orders the assassination of Kennedy. Currently, the CIA still withholds information about the assassination. It could be that they have locked away the true details to cover up what they did.
