Evidence

Cuba

JFK, moments before assassination

John F. Kennedy with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev

Given that U.S. agents tried to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro numerous times, the theory goes, Castro decided he would repay the honor and try to assassinate Kennedy.

Perhaps the most famous proponent of the Cuban theory was President Lyndon Johnson, the man who would succeed Kennedy following the assassination.

"Kennedy was trying to get to Castro, but Castro got to him first," Johnson told ABC News in 1968.

Both the Warren Commission and the House Committee on Assassinations cleared the Cubans of any involvement and when Castro was interviewed by Bill Moyers in 1977 he called the theory "absolute insanity."

Conclusion

The Soviets seem like an obvious choice if you're looking for a dark hand behind Kennedy's assassination.

Proponents of the theory point to two pieces of evidence. First, the U.S. and the Soviet Union were engaged in a bitter cold war. Conspiracy theorists allege that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was so embarrassed by having to back down following the Cuban Missile Crisis he ordered the hit on Kennedy.

The other compelling piece of evidence is Lee Harvey Oswald's connection to the USSR. Though a former marine, Oswald had twice visited the Soviet Union with his Russian-born wife Marina. Both the Warren Commission and the House Committee on Assassinations found little evidence to support a Soviet-backed operation, but one former KGB agent came out years later to say the Russians played a role in the plot.

In conclusion, people are still struggling to find out who was really behind the assassination of JFK.

[Put conspiracy theory of KGB involvement in JFK assassination]

  • Lone Gunman and the conspiratorial maneuvering of a KGB engaged in its specialty of deniable murder
  • The Kennedy assassination and related murders can now be seen as an integral episode of a Cold War that America waged against a ruthless enemy
  • It is believed that the KGB used Lee Harvey Oswald to kill Kennedy for them.
  • "The Soviets had a palpable, powerful motive [to kill JFK]: to gain revenge for the humiliation of the USSR in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis," says Scienta Press. Oswald was a communist and had spent time in the USSR. His "Russian odyssey" afforded the KGB "many opportunities to interact with him".
  • Some speculate that Oswald traded military secrets for a position in the KGB, and then returned to the U.S. upon its orders to kill Kennedy
  • Most who say Oswald traded U.S. intelligence for the good will of the KGB believe that he was recruited to be a spy when he was stationed near a CIA base in Atsugi, Japan in 1957

Motives

The Soviets had a palpable, powerful motive, which was to gain revenge for the humiliation of the USSR in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Oswald was a communist and had spent time in the USSR. His "Russian odyssey" afforded the KGB "many opportunities to interact with him".
