Early this morning I requested streaming access to Oliver Stone‘s JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass, which will screen during the about-to-begin 2021 Cannes Film Festival. I just want to be able to see it and write about it concurrent with the Cannes-attending journos…that’s all.
“I’ve been all in on the JFK assassination particulars for decades,” I explained. “But I’m skeptical about the occipital head wound thing. I’m reluctant to accept that so many people could’ve worked so hard to alter the head wound, and none of them had a tearful deathbed confession moment…not a one? But I’m open to the testimony of those Parkland doctors who insisted that they saw a gaping occipital head wound on the stretcher in Emergency Trauma Room #1.”
“But it’s not just the Parkland doctors who saw the gaping hole in the rear of Kennedy’s skull,” I was told by a Stone colleague. “It’s also in the declassified files of the HSCA; there are also just as many witnesses [who saw the same] during the Bethesda autopsy.
“That is what the film focuses on — the declassified files made possible by the Assassination Records Review Board. Which the mainstream media ignored.
HE reply: “I’ve watched many, many interview videos with those Parkland doctors, particularly around the time of the 50th anniversary (i.e., 2013), and not a single interviewer or moderator followed up with an obvious follow-up question, to wit:
“’Nobody’s challenging the accuracy of your first-hand observations,’ they should have been asked, ‘but how do you explain the bizarre lack of ANY visual evidence in the Zapruder and Nix films…why is visual evidence that shows a rear-of-the-head blow-out…why is this supposed evidence completely missing in the Zapruder and Nix films? How do you explain this?”
“One could also mention the fact that LIFE’s Richard Stolley — the man who arranged for LIFE’s purchase of the Z film and who saw the raw Zapruder footage in Dallas right after it came out the lab — it’s surely significant that Stolley never once mentioned any discrepancy between the raw Z film and the various color versions that eventually became ubiquitous after the full Z film was aired by Geraldo Rivera in the late ‘70s.
“Think of all the people who were involved in the alleged alteration of the Z film…those at that alleged CIA secret Kodak lab in Rochester, not to mention Bethesda doctors who took pictures of Kennedy’s head wound during the autopsy, and how they all somehow managed to ignore or cover up the gaping occipital head wound WHILE AT THE SAME TIME creating fake images of the top of the head and right temple wounds…
“Remember also how the blood and cranial brain matter somehow caught the sun’s reflected glare in Dealey Plaza in the Z film and how difficult it would have been to fake this…
“Remember also that Jackie Kennedy’s white-gloved right hand touched the rear of JFK’s head right after the fatal shot and yet her glove wasn’t soaked in blood…
And then imagine the number of people involved in this alleged conspiracy to hide and deceive, and ask why none of them — NOT ONE ALLEGED CONSPIRATOR — blurted out any kind of deathbed confession. People are generally terrible at keeping a secret, especially over a period of several decades. And yet every last photographic conspirator kept their yaps shut for decades on end. EVERY LAST ONE stuck to Moscow Rules to their last dying breath.”
