DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
For the first time in the last four years, I decided to add an item to my
"James DiEugenio Radio Interviews" webpage. This one-hour podcast/
interview was hosted by Kate Casey and was recorded on December 1st, 2021. The subjects touched upon here by DiEugenio are also some of the topics that are discussed in Oliver Stone's new 2021 documentary, "JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass", which was written by Jim DiEugenio:
THE SINGLE-BULLET THEORY
PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S HEAD WOUNDS
GERALD FORD AND THE SBT
THE GIRLS ON THE STAIRS: VICTORIA ADAMS & SANDRA STYLES
LEE HARVEY OSWALD'S RIFLE PURCHASE
THE CHICAGO PLOT
THE TAMPA PLOT
LET'S "DISSECT" JFK'S NECK WOUND
THE WARREN COMMISSION GOT IT RIGHT
....and last but certainly not least:
DAVID VON PEIN LATER SAID:
I just watched the two-hour version of Oliver Stone's "JFK Revisited" documentary early this morning (December 19, 2021). And while some of that program's material is probably "new" from the standpoint of its having never been presented in documentary form on the big screen or on television in the past, I myself saw very little (if anything) that could be considered "new" or "revelatory" in nature buried within the program's 118-minute running time.
Of course, I'm saying that from my position as someone who has argued with many JFK conspiracy theorists during the last two decades (including the author of the "JFK Revisited" screenplay, James DiEugenio), with those arguments spanning nearly all of the sub-topics that surface in the Stone/DiEugenio program.
In my opinion, there is certainly nothing in that documentary that could be considered definitive proof that a conspiracy existed to end the life of President Kennedy in 1963. And there was nothing in that broadcast that would warrant the bold declaration that was uttered at one point by the show's director, Oliver Stone, when he said that "conspiracy theories" have now been turned into "conspiracy facts". I would vigorously argue just the opposite, Mr. Stone. Your "conspiracy facts" belong in the same categories that they have belonged in for these last 58 years—the categories reserved for "speculation", "guesswork", "conjecture", and "wishful thinking".
