Oliver Stone on JFK Files, Assassination Cover-up, and Transparency

Call for Reinvestigation

JFK Records Act and Documentary Work

• 📜 Stone notes that his 1991 film JFK led to the JFK Records Act, establishing an Assassination Records Review Board.
• 📚 Despite the board's efforts, a definitive conclusion was not reached, prompting Stone and his partner Jim Dugenho to create the 2021 documentary JFK Revisited.
• 🔍 The documentary aimed to present new information and clues that had not been widely reported.

Autopsy Discrepancies and Cover-up Allegations

• ⚠️ Stone and Dugenho present evidence suggesting the original autopsy at Bethesda was flawed, with 42 witnesses noting a large hole in the back and right side of Kennedy's skull.

• 🏥 The autopsy should have been performed at Parkland Hospital but was instead conducted by three individuals at Bethesda.

Motives for Concealment

• 🔒 Jim Dugenho believes the autopsy details were concealed to hide evidence that Oswald could not have produced such a shot.
• 🗣️ He suggests that crucial information remains classified and should be released.
