JFK: Destiny Betrayed

This is a methodical analysis of both the physical circumstances and political environment before and after the assassination.

The tentative conclusions reached by Stone are compelling. When combined with the details surrounding Robert Kennedy's assassination they are overwhelmingly so.

Some right wing ideologues appear to criticise Stone, not for being inaccurate, but for being 'un-American'. For example, there is a review here which exemplifies this attitude by claiming that Kennedy was a 'traitor'.

So much for democracy.

With this backdrop it is easy to see why Trump stopped the release of the final tranche of documents relating to the assassination. Who would want to be the person to reveal to the world that American institutions, with the complicity of powerful economic and political ideologues, murdered their own President.

One of Oliver Stone's most remarkable works. This four-episode documentary contains a great deal of information and it is a work of love and conviction. Over the decades, many researchers have independently contributed to unearth and unravel the complicated mess behind JFK's assassination. Stone's historical vision -which has matured over the years, along with his cinematic- here is backed by James DiEugenio's invaluable research on the subject. The result is a work which, not only brings valuable light into the mechanism behind the conspiracy, the assassination and the subsequent coverup, but which also reflects on the effects and consequences both culturally and politically for the US and the world.

It's unfortunate that the docuseries is not easily available on the more popular streaming platforms (with the exception of rent/buy in Amazon). It really should be seen and discussed by a wide public, particularly the younger generations.

Viewers of Oliver Stone's 1991 polemical blockbuster all those years ago were left, like me, with a sense of something being a bit off but with no facts to get our teeth into. This miniseries blows the whole conspiracy theory wide open, for even the most conspiracy-jaded folk.

JFK- Destiny Betrayed: elegantly argued, historically contextualised, clinically put together. No other director is as persuasive as Oliver Stone and this docu-series sees him at the top of his game. Miss it at your very real peril. Freedom and democracy are at stake......

If you're not willing to read the original compliance about the Warner report, then you are never going to know the truth. Bobby Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy both knew that John was assassinated by his enemies. Robert F Kennedy immediately contact the CIA and ask them if they were responsible. Of course they denied it but Bobby knew who these people were Jackie knew as well. LBJ himself believed it was a conspiracy. This documentary has the most proof of any documentary now. Why did all the witnesses who heard the shots coming from the grassy know not get called to testify in front of the warrant commission? Did you know that the people several people on the Warren commission were not happy about the final product? If you're not going to take it seriously you can continue and believe what our government wanted you to believe from the beginning. And that goes for National Geographic and biography as well. They are just being paid to tell the story that is most absurd. It takes a lot to run a government and there was never a more volatile time than the 60s. If you don't understand all of the responsibilities of being a president this is a good chance for you to find out. The rogue elements like Allen Dulles and CIA personell and all of their connections operations that they developed during World War II continued after the war and became very independent to the point that they were betraying JFK. JFK fired them and they wanted revenge. This is just the basic outline. It's very clear step-by-step starting with the actual members of the Warren commission report who are just satisfied with it and it would not support it after it was released and subsequent investigations that step-by-step uncovered the majority of the cover-up. This is the top documentary on the subject. Once the rest of the documents are released it'll be 100% conclusive about the massive cover-up. Thank you Oliver Stone for your continued great work.

For as long as I remember, the assassination of JFK has both bothered and interested me. I've watched the docos and read a few books, but this 4-part expose was nothing short of extraordinary. The depth of new, untold facts leads the viewer down a path of lies, deception and undoubtable truths that, frankly, left me breathless, angry and at times, in tears. Brilliantly presented, often with Oliver Stone (Director, "JFK" 1991 blockbuster with Kevin Costner) interviewing many of the extremely reputable doctors, pathologists and investigators, it is truly a must-see series that not only reveals so many closely guarded secrets and anomalies, it's presented in such a way that many doubters would hang their heads in shame that they were never lead to believe the greatest lie the world has ever been told.
