#3 isn't out-dated or debunked.

its still up in the air. the mafia well & truly hated the kennedys, esp. bobby, and held
themselves betrayed by them.

otoh, such a drastic move against the government is very out of character for the mafia.

my only point is that some nexus of conspirators going after kennedy retains some plausibility.

That's quite a ways from saying that they acted in cahoots with the CIA or the military to take him out.

what i'm saying is that the idea of some sort of conspiracy surrounding JFK's assassination is neither outlandish or outdated, and gave some relevant factors - we dont have to hang our hat on something specific. jfk was killed, he had powerful enemies in both the mafia and the MIC - just look at how policy pivoted in so many areas shortly after his death.

i'm agnostic on it all, but i don't discount the possibility of some sort of plot - the select committee back in the 70s came to the conclusion that there WAS some sort of conspiracy, but failed at discovering its contours.

"Aside from the assassination investigations that the Dallas police, the FBI, and the Secret Service conducted, President Lyndon B. Johnson immediately established the President's Commission to Investigate the Assassination of President Kennedy. Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Earl Warren headed the efforts of the Warren Commission. Ten months later, the Warren Commission Report concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and shot the President from a sniper's nest on the sixth floor of his workplace, the Texas School Book Depository. For a variety of reasons, not the least of which was that the Warren Commission conducted some of its investigations in secret and sealed many of its records, the American public never trusted the Commission's conclusion. Subsequently, other federal entities conducted partial or complete reinvestigations of the assassination. The most significant of these reinvestigations was the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), which concluded in 1979 that President Kennedy's death was the result of a probable conspiracy."
