Oliver Stone is an establishment asset. JFK is a conspiracy theory that is not only socially acceptable to subscribe to but mildly encouraged. Regardless of what happened, the truth isn't a threat to the regime.
Now for my two cents. The grassy knoll is not needed. A less than 100 yard shot on a target moving at a very slow and consistent speed is laughably easy. Lee Harvey Oswald was a rabid commie that didn't need any prodding. If Oswald did get any support, it was at most in the form of intentionally bad security that would have been unknown to him. Jack Ruby was just a patriot who wanted to avenge his president. There would have a been long line to do what Ruby did if Obama or Trump had been assassinated.
Whether or not the alphabet soup did anything, it benefits them for people to suspect their involvement because it's a useful reputation when threatening powerful people.
This is actually a black pill but not for the reasons most think. There was a coverup of JFK but it was a fucked up combined effort by the US govt and the KGB. How could such a thing happen? Because Oswald was a KGB agent. In a moment of impulsivity he was ordered to kill JFK but the order was quickly rescinded because it was fucking lunacy, however Oswald either didn't get the stand-down order or ignored it. Neither the US nor the USSR wanted to start WW3, so they both covered it up.
This was happening at a time when the KGB was sending out a lot of double agents to penetrate the CIA, FBI etc. One of them - Yuri Nosenko - was an obvious plant and was exposed by US counter-intelligence but for reasons that nobody seems to be able to understand (and which to me points to high level penetration of the CIA by the KGB), this obvious double agent was accepted as genuine due to pressure from higher ups. One of the main "secrets" he came with was that the KGB has nothing to do with Oswald or the JFK assassination, all of which is now known to be a lie. Btw, this double agent went on to train the FBI counter-intelligence division.
The KGB's usual playbook for this kind of thing was to just blame the CIA for whatever it is that the KGB did, and that's what they did here. This is a red herring, though - look past it and you'll see the truly disturbing possibility that since the mid 1960s the US intelligence apparatus has been run by KGB agents.
Side note: the KGB almost managed to do this in the UK too. Look up the Cambridge Five.

Would that have kept going after the "fall" of the soviet union? That would explain a lot of things about the CIA today. Although I assumed it was being influenced by China, the KGB could have left the door open.
We know the state department had been infected with KGB assets since the 40's and the lines between the state department and the CIA are awfully blurry sometimes.
