Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States

[Bob]

I know all of you know who Oliver Stone is. He gave us JFK, a classic film
about JFK's assassination, which had a lot of things right in the movie, even
though it's over 20 years old now.

Some of you may also know, that Stone was interested in working with Jimmy
Files, but Jimmy did not want to work with Stone.

Anyway, Stone is very good at what he does. He at least attempts to get the
truth out there through his movies and documentaries.

A couple year's back, Stone was on Real Time with Bill Maher, and he only agreed
to go on if he could plug James Douglass' book JFK And The Unspeakable. I don't
know how many of you have Showtime, but Stone has put out several episodes of
the Untold History of the United States. He broaches subjects that few have ever
touched on cable television.

Stone discusses the past of Prescott Bush for instance, with all of his Nazi
connections.

Bush was not alone, as a number of U.S. corporations were tied to the hip of the
Nazis.

Stone also talks about Operation Northwoods in another episode, which is mostly
about the JFK era.

Thanks Ken for posting the link above:

I listened to the new Oliver Stone interview this week on NPRadio.

There are huge holes in Mr. Stone's assessment of the threats JFK faced in 1963.

The words "mafia" or "organized crime", etc., are not mentioned even one time
during this 50 minute interview.

Mr. Stone evidently has a serious problem coming to grips with the one major threat
that President Kennedy faced and that was first and foremost the mafia and elements
of organized crime.

I don't blame James Files for not wanting to be associated with movie maker Oliver
Stone.

Dear JFK RFK MLK Forum Members and Readers:

01.17.2017 - Bob Fox originally Posted and Circulated this important Headline and
Supporting Material. Ken Murray also provided an excellent link that still works.

I am particularly interested in anybody's evaluation and opinion of Oliver Stone's
Untold History of the United States.

Bob Fox is correct - Oliver Stone has courageously taken on some Important Subject
Matters, often ignored, through Stone's professional avenues.

As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material
completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate your own Opinions
and Theories.

Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies,
thoughts, or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?

Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation
of JFK Researchers who may not be as well versed as you.

Comments ?
Respectfully,
BB.

I watched Oliver Stone's documentary years ago but can't remember much more than I liked it and agreed with it. I read the Amy Goodman interview linked above and it brought forward Stones views of American History in the 20th and 21st centuries, and it is much like mine. Stone ties together all the threads of our history and politics and presents a theme to explain what happened and why. His grasp of history is immense and very insightful.
