I've read a lot about the conspiracy theories presented about President Kennedy. I find it extremely interesting and very captivating.

From what I gather, there are three main theories.

1) Mob Hit
Sam Giancana aided the Kennedy family during election times in the Chicago area. He had a lot of connections outside America, too. He was just a really popular guy. Joseph Kennedy allegedly paid him for his influence in these elections. I have read that some folks said that President Kennedy met Marilyn Monroe at Giancana's house. Talk about combining work and play!! She was allegedly at this guy's house earlier on the night that she died. First Sam, then Bobby! But that's a whole 'nother conspiracy. Sam Giancana was scheduled to testify before the U.S. Senate Committee regarding the CIA and Cosa Nostra Collusions in their plots to assassinate President Kennedy in late June of 1975. Someone shot his brains out while he was cooking dinner on June 19, 1975. Not sure I believe in coincidences.

2) Bay of Pigs
There's wayyyy to much to go into here but suffice it to say that when you attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro, you could make a few enemies along the way. Not that Kennedy needed any more enemies. That project was as leaky as a sieve!! On April 13, 1961 radios behind the Iron Curtain broadcasted that there would be an invasion of Cuba by Kennedy within one week. Bay of Pigs initiated 4 days later. Even the Washington Post reported, finally, in April 2000 that the Soviets knew the very date of the invasion.

3) Lyndon B Johnson
This was always a "theory", but frankly it was my least favorite. It has; however, became a little more interesting as of late. Caroline Kennedy made a deal with the History Channel to not broadcast The Kennedys Miniseries. (really made Katie Holmes mad!!) Anyway, part of this deal was to release recordings that her mother had made with Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. shortly after Kennedy was assassinated. They were supposed to remain sealed for fifty years after Jackie O's death. Well Caroline gave them up to stop the History Channel from carrying that miniseries. Interesting..check it out.

One thing about this idea that has always intrigued me is that Lady Bird Johnson’s family was closely tied to Bell helicopters. When Kennedy decided to down scale the activity that the United States had in Vietnam, those helicopter orders plummeted. I distinctly remember a question asked of Lyndon B Johnson from a reporter about the negative impact the de-escalation had on the cash flow from the sale of the helicopters. It was purportedly in the billions of dollars. He never answered that question directly.

As the JFK movie said, “Follow the money trail”…….
