JFK - L'enquête

I have always been a huge fan of Oliver Stone's work. He's done it again. A look into some new info from the JFK assassination. So many moving parts and so many inconsistencies with the Warren commission findings. Will we ever really know the truth? This might help you connect the missing dots.

For many decades I have believed that Kennedy posed a serious risk to the ongoing profitability of the huge military industrial complex. This doco slowly unravels the public record documents, interviews and obfuscated evidence and skilfully lays the facts clearly so there can be no mistaking the implications of what happened back in 1963. Kennedy was killed to ensure the far right establishment rich could get even richer for generations to come. Everything that has occurred in the USA since, all the conflicts and wars and foreign policy, has occurred with the manipulative intervention of the iron grip of this military industrial complex wealthy elite through their lobbyists, politicians they have placed into office, and the senior military advisers groomed for their roles.

My diet of Pay Tv movies ended after 4 long empty months because as soon as I have noticed this Stone's return to JFK case on my channels, i knew that a good evening was ahead me. Last time I heard about it, it was for Deauville festival and i asked then: " so now, who killed JFK?"

The documentary fails to give an exact answer if you want names, occupations and strategy. However, as in his movie, Stone's opinion points towards the military complex and rogue CIA with help from FBI.

But unlike the movie which was a fast paced fiction, here Stone slows down the tempo and let the footages run a long time. Several thematic are analysed: the bullets, the gun, the autopsy, New Orléans, the bay of pigs, the international politics, the Vietnam,...

At the end, it's an excellent, useful embellishment to the movie as both are about the same thing but deliver in different ways.

What i keep is the feeling that JFK and 9/11 resonate with the same vibes: a national tragedy, a official report and a lot, much questions...

And ice of the cake, this documentary achieves to learn me a new fact.. What happened in Chicago in August 1963 is indeed very chilly....

If you want to know how America got to where we are now this is a good place to start. Intelligence agencies determining foreign policy, picking and unpicking presidents. It all begins with JFK. The military industrial complex get rid of him, cover it up, and start a war.

Sad it is that a crime in this scale never has been sufficiently solved, but true it is that a succesful coup often is uncovered a long time after - if ever.

Stone had to do this movie - and there is more to present. This is a case that has to be solved, has to be written into the US history, if this land ever shall overcome itself. Founded on violence, baptised in blood and still reproducing both.
