AB Throughout American history, assassinations of and several attempts towards presidents have taken place since 1865. The frequency of these acts reflects the social, political and personal tensions at different historical periods. This B.A. thesis studies the role of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy through Mark Lane’s Plausible Denial (1991). This study employs the theoretical framework of conspiracy theories based on Michael Barkun’s three fundamental principles: “nothing is what it seems”, “everything is connected” and “nothing happens by accident”, which are essential for examining testimonies by Marita Lorenz, Lee Harvey Oswald and Edward Hunt. Through this framework, the thesis also critiques the official versions of the Warren Commission, highlighting inconsistencies, manipulations, and the possible existence of an institutional cover up.
