JFK's murder and the persistence of conspiracy theories 

It kinda weird that as soon as Kennedy started warning us about the government he dies.

"Conspiracy theory"; what governments call it when they don't want to answer awkward, pertinent questions.

JFK: "I want to dissolve alot of these government entities and give power back to the American people" LBJ: "I cannot allow that"

The ultimate and very simple proof that it was a conspiration is that 57 years later the case has still not been made fully public due to “identifiable national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns”. Yet we should believe that it was one crazy guy alone. Allright

"Three can keep a secret if two are dead." What if all three are dead? Too much conflicting, excluded, or ignored evidence for this to not have been a conspiracy and cover-up.

For everyone who feels the need to attack “JFK conspiracy theorists,” I have one question. If the official narrative is so decisive and conclusive, why do you need to defend it? It should stand on its own, no?

The big question is clear,why did Ruby killed Oswald within just 2 days of assasination

Oswald did act alone. He drank his Coke all by himself on the 2nd floor of the book depository in the break room while the shooting was going on. Just like he said.

The only person not shooting at Kennedy, was Oswald.

No one has ever convinced me that a bullet (CE399) caused 7 wounds in two men and lost only 1.5% of its weight.

you have one of the best directors of all time in front of you , you can ask him anything and you come out with "Do you see conspiracies in everything"? " . WOW. I couldn't be able to remain calm as Oliver did when asked such BS questions

My dad's response when he heard the news of the killing that day was: That God Damn Johnson!

"not one credible word of a conspiracy" -- What planet has he been on?

I believe Mr. Stone’s analogy is correct.

Really weird how Allen Dulles, the CIA director was placed on the warren commission don’t you think ?

There’s so many things about that day that doesn’t make sense but one of the earliest oddities of the day and one of the most unbelievable is that whoever was shooting out that window was able to get away. You have Hundreds of combat, security, and police trained people in that area small area. Three shots are fired from the third floor in the building. If there was only one person shooting the place he was shooting from would have been identified by that third shot. Out of all those hundreds of trained witness how did they not get that building locked down before the shooter got out? I don’t want to hear about the chaos and blah blah blah. These were men who were in WWII and Korea. There was either multiple shooting positions to confuse the identification of the Schoolbook Depository or someone with Authority helped the shooter escape.

Here is what bothers me about all this, why are so many of the documents pertaining to this still classified even after 56 years? Also, I would have preferred that the so called 'conspiracy investigations' have been centered on Oswald's connection to the intelligence community and the mafia instead of the single bullet theory which I think has been used as a distraction for the public.

Bugalosi Boogalo dance around the facts. His trial was a mookery of justice. Ruby's bullet put a end to Oswald having a defence.

The cover-up, and it can't be denied it occurred, proves gvt involvement.

Ask that judge why some people smelled gunpowder at ground level when oswald fired from the 6th floor

Lee Harvey knew about the plot, but he did not fire a shot.As he wrote a letter:, saying that “I am afraid I am apart of something, that I do not rightfully know my part in.”

You have to understand that how many of the people who believed that there were more than one person was involved in the assassination of JFK have died. Johnson was involved, the CIA was involved and just how many more were involved is a question. The Warren commission was lead by a person who hated president Kennedy with a passion. Kennedy had him removed from his position because of this. There's so many opticals involved in the Kennedy assassination by those who are still alive today because of their involvement in the assassination of JFK. I pray that one day the truth about the JFK assassination will come out.

0:49 CIA: Did you killed JFK? Castro: No... CIA: Ok, thanks see ya!

"If all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed-if all records told the same tale-then the lie passed into history and became truth." - George Orwell

As long as more people believe Oswald didn't act alone there will still be a little hope for our country,but oh the myth is so much easier to swallow, especially the better off you are.

How hard they're still trying....

The truth of the JFK killing has never come out!

LBJ to mistress Mrs Brown (Nov 21, 1963 --- at Clint Murchison mansion in Dallas) : " those Kennedy boys will never embarass me again. That's not a threat. That's a promise." JFK and RFK died at the hands of a man that murdered 5 other people including his own sister.

CIA, period..

D I S I N F O R M A T I O N

Bugliosi calls it ‘all simple unadulterated nonsense’. Now there you can see how he really wants to defend the official narrative. There is not a slight understanding that people might think there were strange things going on that day. That says a lot about him.

7 wounds in two men from a bullet that stops in mid air makes a right turn drops down a couple of inches and enters the body of the second man and ends up on a hospital gurney in pristine condition!...

The killshot to the head was not from Oswald. It was from a guy behind the picket fence.

"3 people can keep a secret if 2 are dead" Also works if you keep 2 at gunpoint

All the witnesses were killed and that’s all u need to know.

"Three men can keep a secret if 2 of them are dead." - well, Oswald is dead (killed)

When conspiracy now adays are actually the real FACTS

The guy said they "tried" Oswald must of forgot he was killed during his transfer

“Three people can keep a secret.. but only if two are dead” 😤🔥🔥 5:08

Too many people actually think the movie JFK is accurate and treat it like it's a documentary.

Let's say that there's a small town Sheriff, his wife is found shot to death. The Sheriff says that he in not guilty and the evidence will prove it. Then he says that all of the evidence will be released in 60 to 65 years from now. Are you going to believe that he is not guilty? Or are you going to think that he murdered his wife and is trying to hide the evidence until after his death?

The "magic bullet" is just laughable.

So, the critical upshot (no pun intended) seems to be 1) if people believe the seemingly incredible fact that a nobody skinny runt could annihilate a great power figure on a whim, then they are being realistic, but 2) if they believe that it took a concerted and planned effort by a very small but determined cabal obliquely linked to, and antithetical towards that power structure, then they are being overly paranoid, self-indulgently illogical and ultimately 'unrealistic'. Clearly both positions have historical precedents, but the latter is much more common in history. The over indulgence of conspiracy thinking as a current sociological trait does not in any way negate the fact that conspiracies do happen in all manner of magnitudes. In this case, the point is how small or tightly-knit the conspiracy actually was. First significant question has to be.. why did that motorcade not simply carry straight on to the luncheon destination down Main Street. Why was that turning into Elm street deemed necessary? The bend took them back to exactly the same point under the triple underpass as they would have reached if they had gone straight on - it was utterly superfluous from a Presidential motorcade 'timetabling' aspect. Oswald cannot have known they were going to make that turn if he was acting alone, surely? Unless it had been previously announced as a route that would include little old superfluous Elm St. Why was this superfluous turn into a short road deemed necessary, and by whom at the planning stage? Elm st had a large building and fence and tree cover very close to the road, that's why. All other vantage points along Main St were crowded with people four deep, the arial shots would have been made much more difficult by the roads being straight and the problematic presence of close knit crowds liining the roads. No, something smells rotten about it all..

You can't have cover ups without conspiracies.

Walter bought it hook, line, and sinker.

They still can't get over Stone's film 😂😂

It's definitely a "CONSPIRACY" I say because where is the LEE HARVEY OSWALD INTERROGATION TAPE FROM DALLAS TEXAS AT?! That's something that has slipped the mind's of the American Public!

Oliver Stone is awesome

If you read Tom O’Neill’s book about Manson, you would never trust anything Bugliosi has to say. And Oliver Stone is way more credible by comparison.

Many highly accomplished sharp shooters have tried to duplicate the shooting of a target with the same rifle and all of them have concluded that for him to shoot all of those bullets as accurately as he did and in the timeframe that they would have had to happened, just isn't possible. The way that you would have to reload bullets into the chamber is far too awkward for this to have been done by Oswald or any other sharp shooter with that particular rifle.

The main reason that Dallas will remain for a hundred years is that no one got the chance to see Oswald put on trial. You can thank Jack Ruby for that.

"We worked from the presupposition that there was no conspiracy, then conducted an interview that tepidly imagined if there was one without poring through any of the supporting details...Case closed." --Journalism, ladies and gentlemen.

Leave it to a American prosecutor to accuse a man who hasn’t been proven guilty of lying. Then calling that evidence of his guilt …

The presidential limousine enters Elm Street and after a few meters the first shot is fired by Nicoletti who, together with Rosselli, was hiding in the Dal Tex Building. The first bullet misses the target and hits the sidewalk of the triple railroad crossing at the end of the square and a piece of shrapnel ends up in the face of James Tague, a passerby who was stopping there. The second bullet hits Kennedy in the throat, and as you can see in the footage the president brings his hands to his neck and Governor Connelly turns back to see what happened? The third bullet hits Connally who grimaces in pain as you can see in the film and he brings his right hand to his stomach because he feels an immediate pain and then the bullet goes through his right wrist and into his thigh. The fourth bullet hits Kennedy in the back of the head and the fifth bullet, fired by James Files half a second after the fourth shot splashes both the blood and Kennedy's head backwards, and the brain spill was due to the pressure of the fifth bullet which had made a hole the size of an apple in the back of Kennedy's head, witnessed by the photos of 14 people bringing their hand to the same spot on his head. Returning to Connally, who is the key to clarify the mystery, there is much to be said. 1) First of all, from the inclination at which Oswald would have been shooting, which was about 45 degrees, it would have hit only Kennedy and no one else, the bullet could not in any way take a deflection and then hit the governor. 2) When Kennedy is hit Connally turns back to look at what is happening and stays like that for about three seconds, the time to reload the shot in the rifle; if the governor had been hit by the magic bullet, at the same time as the president, he would have had the same reaction as Kennedy and would have had neither the way nor the strength to turn around and look back. 3) Governor Connally, when he is wounded, is still turned around and you can see a grimace of pain as I mentioned before and then he turns around again and collapses on his wife's legs. 4) In the film you can see how Connally bumps his head in front of the glass that separates him from the driver's and assistant's seats. 5) Do you know why Connally was hit? Because Kennedy was leaning over his wife's right shoulder, because by bending over he did not obstruct the trajectory of the third bullet that almost grazed him and hit the governor, and because the shot was fired by Nicoletti from the window of the Dal Tex Building and reached the governor, because Kennedy was leaning over his wife. Therefore, not only the first bullet that went empty reveals where the shot really came from, but also the one that hit Connally. Undisputable and real evidence, but unfortunately denied by many, including the Warren Commission who veiled so much evidence.

Do not forget your dying King. He did so much good in this world. Even as a Finn from a different country remembers how my mom and dad cried for him. Eisenhower and Jack were the Last bastions of hope and freedom. Satan worshippers killed him and been killing his bloodline to this day. Now its the time to follow their principles. And open your eyes.

The only reason they’re 60% of people who think Oswald acted alone is because that percentage of that majority is dead

Jim Garrison solved the JFK Assassination. John Barbour's website has the documents.

A little dirt poor, nobody killed a very rich, well connected powerful man...That to me is a very powerful conspiracy in itself about life...

Funny he used the “only if two of them are dead” line considering 1 out of the 3 testimonials to the select committee on assassinations that addressed the warren report lived long enough to actually testify

Notice throughout this so called reporting, did she address any of the facts, for examaple: A)The school book depository manager and two workers said that Oswald was eating his lunch when the event took place, and a police officer! B) The FBI tested Oswald's clothing for gun powder residue and found non! C) Oswald and Ruby definately knew each other from many witnesses!

Vincent Bugliosi , many of them who knew, are dead!

All these years later and the media still covering up!! This is why we can’t have nice things smh

This is exactly how a conspiracy works, so much mess that the truth never comes out.

One of the shots caused part of his skull to go back onto the trunk of the car. That shot could not have come from the rear. Look at my picture, I am an elk hunter. Never has any elk fallen toward me.

Ruby was willing to talk but they wouldn't accommodate his demands

bucky barnes killed him, magneto tried to save him by bend the trajectory of the bullet

The Warren Commission was so full of crap!

If Oswald acted alone , then why did Jack Ruby whacked Oswald?

The most important man on the planet at that time was oswald. But the dallas pd lets somebody like ruby in the station while oswald is being moved? Hello!?

Bravo to Mr. Stone.

Remember why did the witnesses who ran up the grassy knoll, not toward the Texas book Depository

WHY ARE HIS TAXES AND HIS MOTHERS TAXES ALL STILL A SECRET

Who killed President Kennedy? is the same question of who is the mastermind who deposed President Soekarno of Indonesia? it was maybe the same side

Oswalds rifle was found on 4 th floor. A mauser was found on 6 th floor. No examination of rifle took place for 5 hours. Plenty of time to switch rifles.

What I don't understand is ,the final fatal shot, when on impact made his head jolt backwards. Oswald was ment to of fired from behind,so wouldn't the law of pyshics show the presidents head jolting forward on impact and not backwards? I'm no sciencetist,but as far back as I can remember, I have always wondered this 🤔

The only conspiracy theory is believing that Oswald acted alone.

"Skinny, weak-chinned little character"? Wasn't he in the Marines!

Physical evidence Several conspiracy theories posit that at least one shooter was located in the Dal-Tex Building, located across the street from the Texas School Book Depository. According to L. Fletcher Prouty, the physical location of James Tague when he was injured by a bullet fragment is not consistent with the trajectory of a missed shot from the Texas School Book Depository, leading Prouty to theorize that Tague was instead wounded by a missed shot from the second floor of the Dal-Tex Building.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_assassination_conspiracy_theories#/media/File:Lho-133A.jpg

Oliver Stones' account of the Assassination of JFK makes sense to me. Bugliosi and Cronkite didn't know what they were talking about.

YOU WERE RIGHT OLIVER!!

Oswald was behind JFK and the killing blow blew JFKs head back and to the left as clearly seen on the Zapruder film. There had to be at least a second shooter in front of Kennedy

There are still too many questions and still too few answers. 'Nothing to leak out' but plenty to hide.

And as a small arms expert the bullet 399 I think never was used or hit anything but water look at that bullet even a laymen can tell it didn't cause any wound let alone 7 I could go on in on but find out how Oswald got home without being charged with treason and look at the bullet

WHY WAS OSWALD STILL IN THE LUNCH ROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR ONLY ABUT TWO MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOOTING WHEN THE MOTORCADE WAS RUNNING ABOUT TEN MINS BEHIND SCHEDULE HE HAD NO WAY TO KNOW AND THE PICTURE SHOWS HIM ON THE FRONT STEPS OF THE SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY AS THE SHOOTING OCCURRED

They dubbed Walter Cronkite the most trusted man in america... mot so.

If you stop this video at 0:30 you will see the HUGE tree in Oswalds line of sight. They never thought to explain the tree because they knew at the time no one would ask how Oswald was able to shoot Kennedy with that big old tree standing in his way.

Actually there were conspiracies and others involved surrounding the other assassinations. The only assassinations attempts that were unsuccessful were done by lone killers. Think about that.

most of the people died soon after the assassination that witnessed anything. all coinsidence ???

What prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi said, is the same thing. New Orleans Mafia capo Carlos Marcello also once said, who hated the Kennedys and was suspected of having a hand in the JFK assassination....

No one believes the official story

Wow...did the literal CIA coordinate and edit this interview?

The undamaged magic-bullet with no chain of custody and JFK's brain without weight-loss surely seems like the smoking gun.

I believe he had information which could change the course of our future.

explain Robert Kennedy ? oh yea another lone gunman !

They "lost" JFK's brain from the National Archives. Sure buddy.

I want to believe that Oswald acted alone but there are some names that I can not let go of: Jack Ruby Irwin Weiner George de Mohrenschildt David Ferrie (Carlos Marcello) Allen Dulles Time to open ALL of the files

Still firmly believe Johnson did it

The CIA took him out

Wondering about the persistence of „conspiracy theories“? Well, a man once said „Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons“...

Bugliosi wrote a book saying the Warren Commission got it right saying there was only one shooter-Oswald and only one gun. I read Bugliosi was working on a new book when he died called the one knife theory in the Sharon Tate murders. That Manson was too cheap to buy more than one knife for his women to use in the murders so after Susan Atkins killed Sharon Tate she passed the knife to the next Manson woman who murdered Sebring then she passed the knife to the next woman who stabbed Abigail Folger. After the murders Atkins threw the knife in some bushes to get rid of the evidence. When they got back to the ranch Manson was furious they threw away the knife because he wanted to use it to cut up his steak that night and it was the only knife the family had.
