The CIA Killed Kennedy
The assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963 was an inside job, according to a deathbed confession given to the veteran film director Oliver Stone.
After making his acclaimed film JFK – which was sympathetic to conspiracy theories about the murder – Stone was contacted by a man claiming to have been a former member of the presidential security team.
Dying of cancer, the man wanted to share a secret that he had until then only told his son – that ‘somebody from his own team… had fired on the President’.
He gave only a code name ‘Ron’, in reaching out through a series of mysterious letters before the two men eventually met.
He decided to reveal the man’s confession for the first time to Matt Zoller Seitz, who is the author of a forthcoming book on Stone, the Oscar–winning screenwriter and director whose classics include Platoon, about the trauma of the Vietnam War.
Asked why Stone waited until now, Seitz says: ‘I think it was because he trusted me, and also because both the father and the son have been dead for a while.
‘Nobody has ever heard this story. I’m the first person.’
Stone’s co-operated with the book by making himself available for interview giving Seitz free access to his extensive archive without any editorial control.
