after watching JFK--- Shocked, Suspicious, Confused

Here is a starting point JB

The most important thing to remember about the Kennedy assassination is that there has been more disinformation put out in this case than any other event in world history.

The only thing that has been proved beyond all doubt is that Lee Harvey Oswald was NOT a lone nut gunman, Kennedy was killed in a conspiracy at the highest level.

This is about Jim Garrison.

This is a handy forum to ask questions of people who have studied the case for years.

Happy hunting.

Here are a few more links JB, the bottom one of these is a frame by frame of the Abraham Zapruder film, the kill shot is at frame 313.

Stone's film is long on atmosphere - and short on facts.

Beware.

dlowan hath spoke.

Well, we don't want him sucked into the world of the X files, do we???

Don1:
Your offer is invaluable.

I have a question: are you one of the enthusiasts of this case?

I am examing the Abraham Zapruder film. So the library depository is located on the left of the man who holds the camera right?

Certainly not - nor would I wish that anyone accept - say, the Warren Commission Report, as gospel.

Feels like that dlowan, thanks for the advise

OTHER QUESTIONS


1. Where did Stone get the sources? Have Garrison ever composed any books about that all have he been interviem by Stone?

2. How much did the next president after JFK------Johnsan probably get involved?

so the hunting is on?

Yes to both questions JB

Lyndon Baines Johnson was up to his neck in all kinds of criminal activity and was facing probable jail time, kennedy's death saved saved him from that.


I cant transfer my 35 years ofhaving read several hundred books on this subject, having watched hundreds of hours of documentary evidence, and hundreds of hours scouring the internet into a brief summary, it simply cant be done.

The only way to become familiar with this case JB is to say to yourself

"do I want to spend the next twenty years of my life researching this"?

because believe me thats how long it will take.

Best advice I can give you JB is dont waste your time on journalistic prostitutes like Gerald Posner whose book "Case Closed" is a classic case of a man who will say anything to make money.

Oliver stones film isn't by any means flawless, but watch again the part played by Donald Sutherland, that man in real life was Richard Helms of the CIA, watch it time and time again and study it because within that dialogue is probably the reason that Kennedy was killed.

The industrial military complex is run by the most powerful people in America, look at them closely.

22nd November 1963 was the most blatant coup d'état in world history

Happy hunting

I started a thread on the JFK assasination more than a year ago on A2K. Let me see if I can find a link. There were some very knowledgable responses there.

You mean that secret agent who met Garrison in Washington?
Yes I believe that was the real reason why JFK got killed.
Drop the discussion of the possibility of the CIA-FBI-Pentagon-exiles conspiracy, just switch it to the "impossibility"----just what, what made the ultra-right wing not hate Kennedy? And further what made them not kill them? since JFK's formidable popularity they seemed cant touch him politically, that might be the verge of politics, and even Julius Caesar got elimilated of that.

my little view :wink: Yet i haven't read a single book but watched a film yet

By the way, besides JFK, the epic-trash Alexander the Great could you name me other Oliver Stone's movies?
thanks

Stone has said he never intended that the movie be taken as an official version. He was asking questions about the event and giving life to his own personal suspicions. It is a well put together conspiracy theory movie.

Garrison wrote a book called On the Trail of the Assassins which was a starting point for the movie.




Here's a link to info about Oliver Stone:

There are lots of facts in the movie but they aren't necessarily in order. They've also been cut and pasted to make sure the viewer draws certain conclusions. Oliver took artistic liberties with the whole thing.

Overall, great movie but not good if you want to study the JFK assassination. You're better of reading books and watching documentaries.

It's like the films over the years on the identity of Jack the Ripper, the last being from a comic book, "From Hell." "JFK" is Stone's best movie, at least the most entertaining while one is lead through the labyrinth of, as Kristie puts it, the cutting-and-pasting of facts. But then the Warren Commission is a cut-and-paste of facts that want to leave one to endorse their conclusions. I don't give that any more credance than Stone's storyline. Some of it is likely the truth but until more material is declassified, it's almost impossible to put together the whole truth. It may never be done.
