John F. Kennedy

The Files

• Operation Northwoods — President — rejected the proposal
• The CIA Revenge — President whose post–Bay of Pigs conflict with the intelligence establishment forms the motive basis of the theory.
• The Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys — President whose association with Monroe anchors the political dimension of the claim.
• The Elvis and the Kennedys — Political figure whose family’s dynastic image and Irish ancestry anchor the other side of the theory.
• The Grassy Knoll Shooter — President whose assassination generated the grassy knoll second-shooter framework.
• The Umbrella Man — Target of the assassination event in which the Umbrella Man appears.
• JFK Assassination — Victim — 35th President of the United States
• The Fluoridation and the Peace Corps — Created the Peace Corps, which later became central to the theory as a humanitarian cover institution.
• The Federal Reserve Theory — President whose monetary actions are treated as the trigger in the theory.
• The Subliminal Ad Crisis — Candidate whose stronger screen presence made the contrast with Nixon especially dramatic.
• The Cuban Missile Crisis Fake — U.S. president cast by the theory as a participant in managed brinkmanship.
• The Marilyn Monroe Murder (1962) — Often included because of Monroe’s reported connection to the Kennedy circle and later theories about protected secrets.
