Sure, there's lots of theories flying around several assasinations, but they can't all be cover-ups, can they? Which one would you say is just so glaringly obvious that you're shocked it hasn't been exposed? Please give good reasoning behind your answer, I really would like to see some brainpower going here.

Gavrilo Princip - assassinated Franz Ferdinand, Arch Duke of Austria-Hungary in 1914 (sparked WW1)
The Serbian government was clearly behind the assassination. Princip and his fellow assassins from The Black Hand (a.k.a. Union of Death) were supplied with Serbian issued weapons and poison.

The easiest assassinations to prove as conspiracy (as a class) are those where a) the assassination was successful, b) the assassins accomplished their intended goal by that success, and c) the assassins were later normalized and their philosophy became acceptable after the fact.
Thus, proving the Lincoln assassination was a conspiracy among his advisors would be very, very difficult today, because that assassination did not meet either condition b or c above: Boothe's side did not win, the assassination did not cause massive upheaval, and (so far) the South has not risen again.
Probably the easiest to prove as conspiracy would be Caesar's assassination - the Senators succeeded admirably (Caesar died), those who killed him believed they were preserving the republic and enjoyed a brief return of Senatorial authority (they were ultimately wrong, but that was their goal), and in time, "empire" has come to be regarded as evil by the dominant democracies of the world (at least until recently).
Give all that, I would expect to see an Anne Coulter revisionist history making the theory of empire "good", providing she can find an extant version she can plagiarize.

James Earl Rays assignation of Martin L. King! How does a nobody, bumpkin wind up with a rifle that was traced as having been bought by a CIA operative. Manage to get a clear shot for a balcony,as if hanging out on the balcony is expected activity, and then manage to escape to London! Of course JFK is equally strange.
The easiest to prove is the 47 Ronin's vendetta against Kiru, they had the balls to turn themselves in, leaving no doubt as if there ever could have been!

Sorry for breaking the news, but conspiracy to murder is the oldest trick in the book. It is sad to say that hundred, possibly thousands people are murdered every day world wide as the result of a conspiracy of some sort..... And that ranges from the guy who disconnects the brakes on his wife's car because he can't pay off his mortgage to kids who put a baby on the rail tracks just to see what it looks like when a train comes....

The assasination of Willy Wonka. If you look closely you can see Charlie's grandpa stabbing Wonka in the back.
