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.

Everyone knows it was George W Bush who assassinated JFK.

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.

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