JFK Assassination Forum

(A tip of the hat to the inimitable Tom Graves, our resident KGB authority, for inspiring this post)

Oliver Stone, of course, directed two films on the JFKA, those being JFK (1991), and JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass (2021). Both films suggest or conclude there was official US government complicity in the JFKA.

In fact, there is no daylight between Stone narrative and the KGB narrative on the JFKA.

Is Stone simply a Putin puppet, a KGB apparatchik?

Filmmaker Oliver Stone has developed a reputation for creating sympathetic documentaries about authoritarian leaders, most notably Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he has described as a "great leader". Stone’s connections often involve securing extensive, exclusive access to these leaders, resulting in documentaries that critics frequently characterize as "soft" or "hagiographic".

Connections to Vladimir Putin: "The Putin Interviews" (2017): Stone conducted over 20 hours of interviews with Putin over two years, presenting the Russian leader's perspective on topics such as NATO, surveillance, and U.S. elections.

Stone has praised Putin as a "patriot," "rational," and "calm". He has frequently blamed Western media and U.S. policy for hostile relations with Russia, arguing in 2017 that Putin was a "friend of humanity".

Actually, the Stone saga is even worse than that. He became to veritable go-to cinematic hagiographer for Putin-buddy despots and vassals, and producing fawning biopics of Nursultan Nazarbayev (Kazakhstan), Castro and Hugo Chavez.  Stone was on-deck to produce yet another hagiography on the Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, but the project fizzled after Putin invaded Ukraine.

Look, I don't care if anyone is a libertarian or a socialist, or anywhere in-between. I have heard all the political arguments, and decades ago.

But there is such a thing as integrity, and calling a spade a spade. If you are a socialist, you still must  acknowledge Castro, Chavez and Putin were and are monsters, who killed off rivals and dissidents at well.

Vice-versa if you a free-market type.

(I contend free-market economies generate much more wealth than socialist economies, but that is not germane to this discussion.)

Stone's craven kow-towing to Putin raises questions about his motivations and integrity in his JFKA films.

The bigger lesson is that JFKA junkies must consider whether JFKA narratives are financed from offshore, whether Tehran or Moscow. When Jeff Morley suddenly starts dog-whistling "Mossad" as a JFKA suspect...why?

Substack subscriptions? Insanity and desperation after 60+years in the JFKA snipe hunt?

Yes, I concede the US government tried to shape the JFKA narrative also, especially in the Cold War era, and especially in concordance with President LBJ's directive that the Warren Commission come to no conclusions that could start a nuclear war with Russia.

Like I said, you gotta call a spade and spade.

Caveat emptor, and draw your own conclusions.

I am right because I am able to weigh evidence.

Sorry, but you're wrong because you haven't got a clue about weighing evidence. Stop fooling yourself, as you are not fooling anybody else.

This coming from a guy who has absolute faith in eyewitness testimony over what the forensic evidence tells us.

I know forensic evidence outweighs eyewitness testimony because the latter has been proven to be unreliable

BS.. in this case there is no forensic evidence to trump eyewitness testimony. Even if forensic evidence connects shells and bullet fragments to a rifle it tells you nothing about who shot the rifle.

The bullet and shells don't tell us who fired the rifle butt the fibers on the bullet plate of the rifle that matched Oswald's shirt and Oswald's prints on the boxes in the sniper's nest do. It's truly amazing anyone would ignore those facts and continue to argue for Oswald's innocence. We have a plethora of evidence that points to Oswald's guilt and not a scrap of evidence that points to anybody else.

Eye witness is mostly unreliable, but not in every case!

Tell us why you think it is more reliable in this case.

The forensic evidence of Oswald's guilt has withstood the test of time.

No it hasn't, because it doesn't exist

"There is none so blind as he who will not see."

Everything else you have written is BS and needs no reply

That works out well because you don't seem to have one.

Yeah that's about the same what they said when Hitler came to power.

You are cheering on a guy who has betrayed you from day one and who will dump you as soon as he has no use for you.

Many people who supported Hitler found out too late what a monster he really was. The same is happening now with Trump.

Trump will no longer be POTUS come January 20, 2029. I love watching the TDS crowd getting their shorts in a bunch worrying about Trump not leaving office when his term runs out. One of the fringe benefits of Trump's victory is seeing the consternation from his haters. I feel their pain and I admit to deriving fiendish pleasure from it. One of my favorites is seeing Jimmy Kimmel break down in tears. It's the only thing he's ever done that makes me laugh. I wish he would do more of it. I might actually start watching his show.

JC-

Probably so, LHO eventually would have been captured, although in the 1960s-era, anyone with a valid-looking passport could leave the country, even through US ports. No computer connections.

Could LHO, with a bleached Fu Manchu and hair, some elevator shoes, and a "valid" passport, leave the US, say after six months or a year?

James "Whitey" Bulger (16 years on the lam): The South Boston organized crime boss went into hiding in 1994 to avoid racketeering and murder charges. He was on the FBI's Most-Wanted list for 10 years, and a $2 million reward was offered—one of the highest for a domestic target—before he was finally captured in Santa Monica, California, in 2011.

But, as you say, LHO's behavior on 11.22 was inexplicable.

I am right because I am able to weigh evidence. I know forensic evidence outweighs eyewitness testimony because the latter has been proven to be unreliable. Forensic evidence, on the other hand, can be tested and retested. If the person doing the testing has made a mistake, it will be there for all to see. The forensic evidence of Oswald's guilt has withstood the test of time. It's as valid today as they day it was collected and analyzed. The WC took the unusual step of getting second opinions regarding the findings of the FBI regarding the forensic evidence. Palm and fingerprint evidence was analyzed by the New York City fingerprint division. Recovered bullets and shells from both the JFKA and the Tippit murder were examined by the sate of Illinois crime labs. The only disagreement I know of is that the Illinois crime lab believed one of the bullets taken from Tippit's body could be positively matched to Oswald's revolver. The FBI found none of the bullets could be matched because the barrel of Oswald's .38 was oversized for the ,38 Special bullets. The true diameter of a .38 Special is .357 which is why a .357 can fired .38 Special ammo. I wouldn't put a .357 Magnum round in a .38 revolver.
