One last JFK poll just to prove or disprove a theory I have.

99. Whether Stone made the film or not, the public discourse has not been presented but authentically

experienced and communicated, and already was mainstream. That "conspiracy POV" had been so pervasive 25+ years after it had been experienced historically, that counter-narrative books were written about the assassination.

Real credit to the film lies elsewhere. Thanks to Stone, who is old enough to remember, I and other Americans old enough to remember consider this film important in giving to future generations at least minimal exposure to the Zapruder film, a re-enactment of the public's experience of the assassination, social conflicts of of the time, and an on-the-record attempt by citizens -- Jim Garrison and others -- to assert some agency in using their jurisdictional standing to use existing laws to pursue those who put Oswald in the book depository.

Stone's film exposes a real time first-time mass experience that, sooner or later, forced many Americans to realize that integrity and transparency of democracy and government were also assassinated, or to wonder if they ever existed.

Thanks for your clear presentation of findings, arguments and the entire process that shows internal validity to the Warren Commission's report. I've learned a lot from you.
