  • This year marks the 30th anniversary of Oliver Stone’s “JFK.” Stone talked about what led him to make the film and how the movie developed. “That story is much bigger than the [Jim] Garrison story. It’s a bigger story of a worldwide concept of the foreign affairs. What Kennedy is doing in office, why was he killed, what was the motive? And that’s what the movie becomes about.”

      However, Oswald did it and it's a fucking sad sight to see Oliver Stone spewing his bullshit 30 years later. If you're familiar with the evidence, you'll see that Oswald did it....took me years to admit it after writing my high school modern history paper on how Oswald was framed. I was wrong...the case against Oswald is overwhelming.

      in my long experience of debating this case with people , and of course with my many years researching this case , i would say that usually when people have made a claim as you made that regardless what they say they are usually quite or very seriously lacking in proper research . or they just rely on people like bugliosi to TELL THEM what happened .

      George DeMorhenschildt was petroleum geologist and professor who befriended Lee Harvey Oswald in the summer of 1962 and maintained that friendship until Oswald's death. DeMorhenschildt was the man who got Oswald the job at the Texas school book depository. DeMorhenschildt was a CIA agent. The night before he was to give evidence at senate committee into assassinations his head was blown off with a shotgun. In his address book at the time was George H W Bush’s personal contact information.
      E Howard Hunt set up an office at 544 Cam St, the Cuban revolution Council, it was a dummy company.
      Kennedy had threatened to stop the CIA from importing drugs and selling them to American people to cover the cost of their black operations. He wanted to pull the CIA apart.

      I wanna add that JFK is a perfect movie to teach film editing.. I mean the MTV music video generation learned to make fast cuts, but you cannot do jump cuts that make no sense (like so many thinks nowadays, oh boy).. look at the court room scene where Garrison explains the JFK assassination and the shots fired..(How much footage did Stone ever shoot?) It's feverish with split second cuts, but it ALL makes sense. It really can only be compared with the shower scene in 'Psycho'(1961).

      now stone was correct , garrison did speak to russell of the warren commission , many dont know that russell was a warren commission dissenter he refused to sign the report . in the movie they have garrison talking to long of course . yes garrison did talk to long on the plane but it was russell that did the talking not long . garrison may have talked to boggs also but russell in reality was the man in question . i can only think that for some reason they did not want to mention russell in the movie , maybe his family did not want it , they may just want to preserve his warren commission part in history and his political name . and dont taint it with the fact that he in reality disputed the commission on some serious points .
      in the movie long was saying THEY GOT THAT BULLET ZIG ZAGGING ALL OVER THE PLACE , one pristine bullet ? that dog dont hunt . that was not long that was russell . he disputed greatly the single bullet theory , especially as connallys testimony and statements disputed it . he even called up LBJ (its on youtube ) telling him he did not believe it and LBJ replied I DONT EITHER .

    I've always liked Stone as a director and writer. He plays by his own rules. I always wondered why though, he never included the "suicide" of Marilyn Monroe in the film JFK? After all, she was deeply involved with the Kennedys and her death was, at best, questionable. Mob and political involvements from Sinatra thru the Kennedys. She knew too much perhaps? There were just too many coincidences during this time in American history...
