If this new "revelation" is true, it makes Jim Garrison's pathetic case against Clay Shaw look even weaker. Oliver Stone is a conspiracy nut whose entire world revolves around JFK/Viet Nam.
The point of JFK the movie was "if only JFK had lived, there would have been no Viet Nam war. JFK was gonna end it, but those mean old military men wanted a war, so they killed him, thus causing young Oliver stone to be scarred for life in a war that ould not have happened". Of course there is ZERO evidence that JFK was going to scale down the Viet Nam war. But in Stone's reality, facts do not matter.
It’s far more crucial for the left to cultivate the impression that the Kennedy assasination was carried out by “far right” extremists - the CIA, the FBI, Nixon, et. al, then a lone nutcase and self-described marxist who defected to the Soviet Union at the height of the cold war, marries a KGB station chiefs’ daughter and a few weeks later returns to the US no questions asked.
Really it’s pretty impressive when you think about it. Further, the country has really gone down the tubes since that time, since JFK was almost a conservative compared to the ass-clowns that currently hold sway.
