Never dove into the JFK stuff. Can you answer some things for me?
- What does solving the JFK case tell you (or tell Stone)? Like whats the lesson or story that I should know? I’m not American so I don’t understand what it is about the JFK assassination that needs solving.
- How do we know that Stone or the USGov or any investigator looking into this case has got it right? You mentioned that Stone had gotten a bunch of facts 100% right – how is that known?
The whole thing with the shotty Warren Commission was that if the truth came out and the deep state (CIA + MIC and other players) was involved, it would really shake the pillars of the public’s trust in Government institutions. Parenti did a talk on the JFK assasination, JFK and the Gangster Nature of the State, it’s not difficult to find (surely on youtube?) and it’s a fun listen.
The biggest hole in the Oswald thing was that he was an open Communist, ffs he was even conveniently filmed fighting Gusanos when he was handing out pro Cuba flyers. We’re talking about a time when practically nobody had video recording equipment, unlike today where everyone is carrying around a smart phone. This landed him on TV to debate the Gusano.
We just had a thread about astro engineer who got fired because he posted some commie stuff on reddit. Yet, during the Cold War, Oswald was an open Commie during his time in the Military. He defects to the USSR, marries a Russian and returns to back to the USA with little problems. While back in the USA he is befriended by some wealthy anti-Communist Russian expat with ties to the CIA. Weird friendship to say the least. And that wealthy Russian later kills himself.
Solving JFK reveals who really controls our government and the true nature and extent of the national security state. It’s also closely tied up with the reasons for the escalation of Vietnam.
We know the Warren Commission got the case wrong because it says things which are physically impossible (magic bullet theory) or easily proven false. The official narrative is largely sustained by people in positions of power gaslighting and misdirecting people into not looking too closely into the matter, rather than providing people with an air-tight narrative.
Here is one example of a fact that Stone got right: the movie has a scene where Earl Warren interviews Jack Ruby in his jail cell. Ruby says some seemingly outlandish and conspiratorial things. It sounds like a lot of dramatic and artistic license was taken with the dialogue, but I was surprised to learn after viewing that the conversation was 100% accurate according to the transcript recorded by the stenographer.
