BBC 2 Kennedy assasination whitewash

Jim Garrison was right | 23.11.2003 22:19

Far from being an in depth scientific expose of the Kennedy assasination, the programme currently on BBC2, is a rehashed, tired repeat of the Warren commission's whitewash cover up with added cold war rhetoric. The first few minutes of the programme concentrated on a computer enhanced graphics used to reinforce the Warren commission's findings about a single bullet lone assasin. The computer graphics failed to show or explain the zepruder film in its entirety. If it had the programme would had have to explain away the glaringly shocking scenes of the full frontal of President Kennedy's head being hit with a bullet from someone firing from in front of the calvalcade, causing a massive exit wound which blew off the back of the President's scalp.

The programe should be judged on the information it fails to show such as the Zepruder film in its entirety and what it omits to tell us about Lee Harvey Oswald's role as an CIA operative , his close connections to covert american intelligence services and black ops operatives such as Clay Shaw/Berttram and right wing Cuban exiles.

resigning from oliver stone fanclub

all i know about the kennedy assasignation is what was in the oliver stone film, and it really looks like he's told me a great big fucking lie. i don't know anything about the back of the presidents scalp being blown off, but the bbc generally do a pretty good job on documentaries. i know the beeb are shite at covering things like the war but they are usually do this type of thing well. all the information seems to have convinced me that i've been wrong about this for years. i'm really in disbelief. anybody that uses any facts in this tread should give links or at least references to a book they've read on the subject. i've a feeling that i've been swallowing bullshit all my life

exactly what i thought too

who are the producers of this documentary ? too much reliance on the official commission findings, downplaying the mafia link via jack ruby, relying on polygraph and bible-sworn statements by dubious witnesses, unquestioning acceptance of oswalds guilt on the walker incident (itself imbued with many contradictions), and too much time refuting the oliver stone film. on this last point after all, "JFK" was just one more interpretation, intended as an introduction to the whole mystery, and frankly, no single account should be relied on. i dont think anyone was "lied to" by this film as the commentator complains. perhaps you should have taken more time to read round the subject...

'JFK' is a movie

I don't think the BBC doc refuted the possibility of a conspiracy by any means.

But people really shouldn't take Oliver Stone's movie as history! He freely admits he made stuff up to make it more exciting. And not just character bits (Garrison's whole speech at the end) but key facts (eg. witness interviews, the 'faked' photo, NSC documents). To be honest, I don't think Stone thought people would take it so literally!

Hey ho.
