I regret to inform you that Oliver Stone is doing a JFK assassination documentary.

The good news is, it’ll be on some platform I’ve never heard of. Which is probably because of the conspiracy, too. God, can we just declassify everything, already?

…Well. Actually, it’d be helpful if they did that in, say, ten years. I plan to publish PROJECT SHIVA some time in the next four years or so, and it’d be helpful to the plot if the real* reason for the JFK assassination doesn’t get confirmed by then**. Selfish of me, but there’s nobody else out there hustling my books for me, is there?

*Here’s what really happened: Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, and then Jack Ruby shot him. The End.

**It’s only a minor plot point, but I’m proud of my particular JFK conspiracy because nobody ever does it: in the book, Oswald was aiming for Connolly, only he was a really, really bad shot.

  1. Heh. Reminds me of the book that suggested the 1933 Assassination attempt on FDR was really a mob hit on Tough Tony Cermak and that involving FDR was merely a diversion to conceal what was actually going on! 😄

  2. JFK was assassinated by a card-carrying communist. (The second sitting US President murdered by a communist. McKinley being the first.)
    Oswald had met with the KGB official in charge of political assassinations shortly before in Mexico City. (And who was discretely “disappeared” by the USSR immediately after.)
    That is the actual, documented conspiracy.

    But for some reason, conspiracy theorists would like to blame everyone else, instead. (And Oliver Stone has been doing his best to inject himself and deflect every chance he gets.)

    Am I open to (for instance) the theory that LBJ and the CIA played a supporting role?
    Sure I am. It’s perfectly in character, and both had motive.
    But they’re not the ones who did it.
