Oliver Stone on Oswald's Location and Suppressed JFK Assassination Witness Testimony

Suppressed Witness Testimony

• 💡 Oliver Stone discusses three women who witnessed events from the fourth floor of the Book Depository during the JFK assassination, whose testimonies were omitted by the Warren Commission.
• 🎯 Dorothy Garner, a supervisor, reportedly did not see Oswald on the stairs, contradicting the timeline of him being on the sixth floor and then appearing on the second-floor lunchroom shortly after.
• 🔑 The "stoud document," discovered by writer Barry Ernest in 1999, contains Garner's testimony and was sent to the Warren Commission in 1964 but not included in their published volumes.

Potential Oswald Sighting on Film

• 🚀 Stone mentions a film, potentially from NBC, showing a man resembling Oswald downstairs watching the motorcade, suggesting he may have been on the ground floor at the time of the shooting.
• 🔍 He recommends the task force subpoena NBC for the original film, which has allegedly been refused twice, to allow the public to judge the evidence.

Government Obstruction and Pursuit of Truth

• 🏛️ The hearing emphasizes that components of the federal government, including the CIA, have not been honest with the American people regarding the assassination.
• ⚖️ The task force aims to pursue the truth, even if delayed, and hold agencies accountable for obstructing investigations for over 60 years.
• 📜 Oliver Stone is credited for motivating Congress in the 1990s to pass a law that initiated the declassification process of relevant documents.

Uninvestigated Assassination Attempts

• ⚠️ It is noted that there were three attempts on JFK's life in November 1963: one in Chicago, one in Tampa, and the successful one in Dallas.
• 🧩 The Chicago attempt reportedly resembled the Dallas event, suggesting that if Secret Service records had been shared, the Dallas assassination might have been prevented.
• 🤝 In Tampa, the security was extensive, and Kennedy stayed to thank all involved officers, highlighting a different security posture compared to Dallas.
