Trump's orders to open confidential documents of JFK's death are expected to answer various controversies about the perpetrators and motives
JFK shooting on 50 years ago.
Here are some of the most popular and famous conspiracy theories about JFK's murder:
- There are more than 1 shooter
The United States Parliament report concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and without help to kill JFK.
But unlike the report, the Senate said there was a "high probability" that two gunmen fired at JFK.
Afterwards various experts and groups of conspiracy theorists later stated that JFK assassins are not necessarily Oswald, but instead a man who fired along the American presidential motorcade route of the United States.
- CIA involvement
One of the most popular theories is the idea of the CIA or people associated with the CIA involved in the Kennedy assassination.
Some theories say CIA affiliates fired the deadly shots, while others claimed that the CIA or other government agencies knew there would be an attempt to end JFK's life.
And, in the absence of an initiative to act, showed the CIA was involved in the killings.
The parliamentary report also said the CIA was not very active in gathering and sharing information both before and after the killings.
- Castro's revenge
When Fidel Castro led a communist revolution in Cuba, the United States under JFK leadership started an operation known as Bay of Pigs. Operations at the beginning of his presidency were carried out in an attempt to overthrow the then defunct Castro government.
After the operation of the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States continued to plan to kill Castro for years, including trying to poison his cigar.
With the potential motives and tendencies of Oswald's communist view, one theory suggests Castro has a stake in the killings.
But before he died, Castro had denied his involvement and said it was a bad lie.
- Mafia members
One theory says the JFK killer is a mafia attack. JFK appoints his younger brother Robert as the attorney general whose work proto is to suppress organized crime.
Moreover, the Castro revolution pushed out elements in Cuba that were friendly to the interests of the mafia.
Parrican investigations say that the evidence suggests the existence of a mob group not directly involved in the killings, but does not rule out the involvement of mafia members.
- Kennedy is not the target of the Shooter
JFK is not alone in Dallas. First Lady Jackie Kennedy is by her side, as well as Democratic Governor John Connally.
The governor was also shot when JFK was killed, and one theory said that Oswald intended to kill the governor, not Kennedy.
Journalist James Reston Jr. underlines this theory at length, says that Oswald targets Connally's name, and notes that Oswald's wife says that Connally is his target.
Over the years, the theories have persisted, and the government keeps some of its documents closed from the public. Congress passed a law 25 years ago that required the government to release all its documents and make room for an agency to keep confidential sensitive information.
In accordance with the law, President Donald Trump issued a memo on Thursday night to open several files. However, Trump's memo only allows the release of 2,800 government documents relating to the killing of JFK, out of a total of around millions of documents. The hope, conspiracy theories will end with the opening of secret documents about the murder of one of America's most revered presidents.
