When speculating about the motives for Kennedy's assassination, whether they be known, not given sufficient consideration, or are yet to be discovered, we must always look at power, and what Kennedy was doing or proposing that so threatened the power of the elites to provoke them into action (assuming that his assassination was a one-off event done in reaction to specific proposals made by his administration)
If viewing his assassination as part of a transnational event we still have to look at power, except now we must look at what he was proposing in terms of international power, and the goals of a transnational power elite or coalition. To understand this we would need a longer view of history. Changes to the global power structure that occurred since World War 2 and the concentration of economic power in the US and other countries which has been occurring since the early 1900s would looked at very closely.
That said, I do not think that your speculative question can be answered because most research is focused on the CIA, Vietnam, LBJ and Texas oilmen and not an emerging power structure.
