Oliver Stone: US in denial over JFK assassination

Says there's 'possibility that he was killed by someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald'

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Last Updated: 8:07 AM, January 25, 2010

BANGKOK — Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone said Monday the United States remains in denial over the possibility that someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald could have assassinated John F. Kennedy, calling it a “national fairy tale.”

Speaking to 300 high school students in the Thai capital, Bangkok, Stone said exploring alternative theories over the JFK assassination remains too sensitive for those in the media or academia who “would be endangering their careers and their position.”

“To this day, many key Americans in power are in total denial about this story,” Stone said. “They don’t even want to know about the possibility that he was killed by someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald. It is a national fairy tale.”

Stone was in Bangkok to talk about filmmaking and peace as part of a series of talks facilitated by the Vienna-based International Peace Foundation.

Stone is stretching things a bit. How many politicians or academics in power in 1963 are still around ?

..in 1992, I saw "JFK"

A few weeks later, I had a very interesting conversation with the guide on the Sixth Floor while we were looking out of the window next to Oswald's vantage point. He said his grandmother could have made that shot. I was sharing my thoughts on the recent movie.

A lady who overheard my criticism of Stone's "JFK" tried to start an argument. Stone had made another convert...

The farther this incident recedes into history and as more eyewitnesses die off, the easier it is for nuts like Stone to convince people that his version of the story is true.

The thing which destroyed most of the conspiracy whackjobs in my mind was a person who explained the "magic" bullet. Stone's movie (and many other JFK conspiracy theorists) show Connally immediately in front of JFK sitting bolt upright. But he was in a jump seat a few inches to the left and lower than JFK's seat. Also he was turning around somewhat after hearing the first shot. Put him in the right position in your drawings at it is pretty much a straight line from the window, through JFK's neck into Connally without any extra bullet or 90 degree midair turns needed.

“The Tears of Autumn” by Charles McCarry is a fantastic
fiction book about the assassination of John Kennedy. Though I believe Oswald acted alone, Tears of Autumn makes a plausible and exciting story about an alternative plot.
It is a great spy book.

Yeah, I saw an episode of 'Nova' a few years ago where they used 3-D computer modeling to show the bullets' paths from Oswald's vantage point and all the wounds were accounted for without any odd contortions.

President Kennedy was anti-communist. He was killed by a communist American. There's your conspiracy.

Liberals loved JFK. He was handsome. He went hatless. He was a womanizer. But liberals remain in denial of the fact that he was anti-communist. Liberals like communists. They remain in denial of the apparent fact that JFK was murdered by a communist because of his anti-communist stance.

Later, Robert Kennedy was running for President. He went fund raising to the Jewish community telling them that he would be a strong supporter of Israel. He promised to send 50 jets to Israel. RFK was murdered by an American who was born in Jerusalem and who identified with the Arab cause.

I always laugh whenever Stone dredges this crap up. He implies this was a hodgepodge of multiple conspiracies at the governmental, corporate and organized crime levels smoothly coming together to result in the assassination of a president. Yet not ONE participant has ever spoken up... not even a deathbed confession.

Truly nothing short of amazing for a country full of people who want their 15 minutes of fame regardless of the cost.

I think conspiracy enthusiasts stick with their beliefs because they see conspiracy theories as fun and far more exciting than the truth, which cements everything in finality.

Everyone knows it was George W Bush who assassinated JFK.

Bush and Cheney contacted Elvis, who's been hiding out on Mars since 1977. After planning and executing 9/11, the three of them flew Elvis' spacecraft through a time portal and beamed down to where Nixon was standing on the grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza. That is where Cheney shot JFK. This is proven because he shoots people when he takes them hunting. Oh, by the way, Halliburton provided the fuel for Elvis' spacecraft. This has to be true. Nobody can prove it isn't.

Close.

Bush and Cheney (who is a Reptilian) contacted the Council for Foreign Relations. They beamed Michael Jackson into the past with the Bilderberger time machine, and Nixon (who is a Masonic Luciferian) gave Jackson a EMP Pulse Rifle rescued from the alien wreckage at Area 51. Jackson shapeshifted into a telephone poll where he shot JFK, and when returning, accidently crashed into the Flight 54 plane carrying Mossad Operatives who were acting like Muslims to fake out Americans about 9/11, which is why it crashed in that field. When Jackson returned, Elvis / Bush / Cheney and FDR were tasked with the creation of a fake moon landing so that the Federal Reserve would be able to create more Fiat Currency.

Stone is nothing but a Hollywood glorified conspiracy-nut version of Jesse Ventura.
