Phil, the Knights Templar have long interested me and I would have no problem believing that they - or some of them - were involved and would wish to demonstrate some symbolism in the act.
Curiously enough, 700 years to the day after their persecution began in 1307, the Pope gave them an apology. This is noticeable for one particular reason, in my mind anyway. Two years earlier a spokesman for the Templars, from Hertford, north of London, issued what amounted to a threat to the Vatican to apologise on the 700th anniversary, or face unspecified consequences. The vatican apologised.
Of course the date of their arrest was Friday 13th October 1307 - probably the origin of the FRiday 13th myth.
the 22nd November 1307 date was, as you know, the day the Pope, Clement V issued the papal bull, Nova Templarae, the announcement of a new templar order.
Whether this has any relevance I know not. Probably not, except to show that they have considerable clout.
I suppose also, who better, symbolically speaking, to kill a catholic president, than a banished and bloody catholic order.
But as I keep saying, my knowledge on JFK is abysmally poor...

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
