Fred Litwin on Weekends with Jason Olbourne - 27 January 2024

On today's show, Fred Litwin discusses the JFK assassination, addressing questions about who shot JFK, the existence of witnesses, his journey from conspiracy theories to believing in Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman, and the forensic proof that challenges popular conspiracy narratives. He also critiques Oliver Stone's film "JFK: Destiny Betrayed" and explains why he believes Stone was wrong.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Fred Litwin is the author of three books on the JFK assassination. His works include "Oliver Stone's Film-Flam: The Demagogue of Dealey Plaza" in 2023, "On the Trail of Delusion—Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser" in 2020, and "I was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak" in 2018.

- In I was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak, Fred recounts how he became a JFK conspiracy freak at eighteen, and then slowly moved to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman. Fred's book also demonstrated how the left and the right have used the JFK assassination to drive home myths about power in America.

- On the Trail of Delusion -- Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser recounts the supposed investigation into the JFK assassination by the District Attorney of New Orleans Jim Garrison. In 1967, he charged an innocent gay man, Clay Shaw, of conspiring to kill JFK. The case took two years to come to trial and Shaw was acquitted in less than fifty minutes. Garrison then charged him with two counts of perjury and it took another two years to get those charges quashed.

- Oliver Stone's Film-Flam: The Demagogue of Dealey Plaza is an in-depth analysis of Stone's so-called documentary series on the JFK assassination, JFK: Destiny Betrayed. Fred dissected all of Stone's major claims and debunks them one by one.
