It was 60 years ago today. The U.S. government as a whole has refused to confirm what numerous researchers have revealed. Although many politicians have individually expressed their doubts about the official government version of what happened.
The two people who have played the largest roles in revealing the truth IMO are Mark Lane and Oliver Stone. Lane was the lawyer/author who immediately took notice of all of the eyewitness accounts that contradicted the official version and began writing books, giving lectures, and making films on the subject before anyone else did. Without Mark Lane, dozens of authors would have never been inspired to conduct their own research into the story and publish their own work. But sadly, the book reading public is but a small segment of society. It wasn't until Oliver Stone produced the movie JFK nearly three decades later that the true story began to reach the majority of the population and inspire more research.
In 1991, Oliver Stone's film JFK renewed interest in the assassination and particularly in the still-classified files relating to the killing. In response, Congress passed the JFK Records Act, which called for the National Archives to collect and release all assassination-related documents within 25 years.The act also mandated the creation of an independent office, the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), to review the submitted records for completeness and continued secrecy. From 1994 until 1998, the Assassination Records Review Board gathered and unsealed about 60,000 documents comprising over 4 million pages.
I highly recommend viewing Oliver Stone's new documentary JFK: Destiny Betrayed which talks about things revealed in the documents that were declassified by the passing of the JFK Records Act. If 3.5 hours is too much for you, there is also a shortened 2 hour version called JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass.
If you find yourself wanting to see more, I also highly recommend viewing Nigel Turner's The Men Who Killed Kennedy. It's a nine part History Channel series (450 minutes) that resulted in the History Channel refusing to ever again air parts 7-9. Yet another example of mainstream media's complicity in the coverup. Make sure you get all 9 episodes. Ebay is the only place that will sell the banned episodes.
