The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, also known as Operation: New Frontier,[1] was an event organized by the Templars, who wanted to remove John F. Kennedy with the intention of taking control of the United States. Despite their planning, extremist Assassins under Boris Pash secretly hijacked the assassination for their own purposes.[2]
Kennedy was the President during the 1960s, a time where America was determined to send a man to the Moon, safely landing and then returning to Earth;[3] this was very important for the Templars, as they knew of a Piece of Eden that was located on the Moon. However, when the Templars learned that Kennedy did not share their motives, they moved to eliminate him[1] in favor their fellow Templar[4] and Kennedy's Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson.[1]
Background
The assassination was a plot created by the Templars to remove Kennedy from power after he planned to "give the vote to everyone", regardless of race or class. They also wanted to obtain the Apple of Eden that several past Presidents had held,[1] and to place the secret Templar and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson in power.[4] Following talks with Kennedy in failed covert attempts to sway him to their side with the belief that humanity's natural state was submitting to authority rather than expanding civil rights, the Templars concluded that "Reason just doesn't work with someone like that" and initiated plans to kill him.[1]
The assassination
Simultaneously, the Assassin extremist Boris Pash sought to obtain Kennedy's Apple for himself and placed his own agent within the conspiracy, the US Secret Service agent William Greer, who would operate as Kennedy's driver and would slow the vehicle down in the event that Kennedy was not killed with one shot.[2] While Abstergo tasked Greer to bring the Apple to Abstergo,[1] he would instead take it back to Pash.[2]
As per Abstergo's plan, their sleeper agent Lee Harvey Oswald would pull the trigger and Abraham Zapruder, who would film the event on camera, would perform the assassination should Oswald be unable to do so.[1] Instead, shooters from the Bloodstone Unit under Pash's command killed Kennedy, coordinating it in such a manner to frame Oswald.[2] The Templars then used their own Apple of Eden to create a diversion in the shape of a phantom appearing on a nearby hill behind Zapruder, giving Greer an opportunity to steal the president's Apple.[1]
Aftermath
The assassination plot was performed according to plan. Following Kennedy's death, Johnson was sworn in as President only hours later. Greer was able to secure the Apple[1] but was ambushed in a nearby alley by fellow Assassin Alekseï Gavrani, who had previously worked under Pash. Gavrani punched Greer and took the Apple back to the Central Intelligence Agency's Director William King Harvey, unaware that he was a Templar, then was tasked with stopping the rest of Pash's plans.[2] Kennedy's death allowed for the Templars to launch Apollo 11 in 1969, using the project as a front to recover another Apple from the Moon's surface.[1]
