Secret Service agent, William Greer, the limo driver, is also a member of Templar Order and helps to facilitate the assassin (*Assassin's Creed II*). Edward Blake(*Watchmen*) is present on the grassy knoll and the Cigarette Smoking Man in the sewers(*The X-Files*). They do not fire a shot, only ensure the assassination goes through. Overall there are five separate hired assassins.One of them succeeds. (*Illuminatus!*)(Specifically Edward Blake, the Cigarette Smoking Man, Johnny Shellburn, Alex Mason, a Soviet-programmed Manchurian agent is also present on another floor of the book depository(*Call of Duty: Black Ops*) and one other on the grassy knoll). There is also a mongoose with a sniper rifle(*Robot Chicken*). The shooter on the grassy knoll is a model by trade(*Zoolander*). He has been hired by the CEA, Mafia, Alejandro Costa, William Scott Anderson, Teamsters, Freemasons, and possibly aliens, among several other parties including a right-wing cabal of war hawks, military industrialists(Oliver Stone's *JFK*), Saint Roch mob boss Sal Marcano and U.S Senator Richard Blake. He will be gunned down by Jack Ruby and left for dead(*The Onion*) his car buried with him in it. Another would be assassin is Nelson Bennett, a Communist with links to the Soviet embassy in Mexico, after Jeff Winston wrote a threatening letter to JTC in LJohnny Shellburn's name the week before the assassination (*Replay*).

James T.Cassidy would have been assassinated by an agent of The Commission, except the agent decided to abandon their mission instead. Cassidy is, however, targeted by an agent of the Majestic 12 to prevent him looking too closely into the Roswell landings. Another would be assassin is Marine Martin Shafto(*The 4400*) and Jim Steele, a Majestic 12 agent who was infested by the Hive, after John Loengard tells him the truth about Roswell and the Hive (*Dark Skies*).

The Red Dwarf crew then travel forward and find an apocalyptic wasteland in a few years caused by the changed timeline as does Jake Epping when he travels back to his native time period. James T.Cassidy's assassination is averted but this creates a timeline in which Soviet troops invade West Berlin, resulting in World War III(also the timeline which Jake Epping and the Red Dwarf crew visit after helping to thwart the assassination). In order to restore the proper timeline, Fitzgerald takes Cassidy's place and allows himself to be killed. Cassidy is transported forward in time to 2172. (*The Twilight Zone (1985)*)

James Stevens, the author of the novel *Who Killed Cassidy*(*Doctor Who Expanded Universe* novel *Who Killed Kennedy*) helps the Red Dwarf crew prevent the future nuclear apocalypse by having James T.Cassidy shoot himself(This solves a continuity error in Red Dwarf thanks to the Twilight Zone connection meaning its not Cassidy killing Cassidy which in the Red Dwarf Universe was shown to not work due to the Paradox, here its not Cassidy carrying out the Assassination but Cassidy shooting Fitzgerald, so it works)Cassidy assassinated "himself" with a small revolver(*Mad Magazine)* from a distance and the timeline was restored(*Red Dwarf*)(This is also mentioned in *Poker Night at the Inventory 2,* where the insane Space Core rambles "Kennedy was actually shot by himself to preserve the timestream").

In an alternate Universe close in makeup to Earth 4, Edward Blake is a close friend with Cassidy and his brother rather than Monckton and as such did not carry out the murder.
