    Solving JFK reveals who really controls our government and the true nature and extent of the national security state. It's also closely tied up with the reasons for the escalation of Vietnam.

    We know the Warren Commission got the case wrong because it says things which are physically impossible (magic bullet theory) or easily proven false. The official narrative is largely sustained by people in positions of power gaslighting and misdirecting people into not looking too closely into the matter, rather than providing people with an air-tight narrative.

    Here is one example of a fact that Stone got right: the movie has a scene where Earl Warren interviews Jack Ruby in his jail cell. Ruby says some seemingly outlandish and conspiratorial things. It sounds like a lot of dramatic and artistic license was taken with the dialogue, but I was surprised to learn after viewing that the conversation was 100% accurate according to the transcript recorded by the stenographer.
