Whatever is in those documents kept secret for 54 years isn't likely to change anyone's mind.

It is only of interest to historians.

I’m not sure that’s all of it, either.

Many varying reasons exist to classify shit. Most of them aren’t related to the actual content. With that in mind, what we’re highly likely to find is this stuff repeats what we already know.

It’s not impossible there’s some new, wild thing awaiting us next week. I’m not staying up late waiting for it.

Why does my conspiracy theorist even give a fuck what’s in this round? How does one assess information integrity?

Even though it's clear some files were purged while supposedly under lock and key for a couple of generations (someone could be born, get a college education, marry, raise a family, and get to know their grandchildren while these secrets were kept from the public), some of the materials do give us new information or confirm what was suspected.

Obviously it will make no difference to people who've already made up their mind based on incomplete information from 1963.

And it will make no difference to people who have no interest in such things. But to be fair, the amount of time and effort it takes to even causally go through the mountains of documents about the case is more than most people would reasonably want to put into the case.

But for those who are interested in history, mystery, spy stories, and human nature it's quite a story.

Well, if you want to jump down the rabbit hole this is a good place to start. It's a report on the investigation into what Oswald was doing in Mexico city a couple of months before the assassination, by the US House Select Committee on Assassinations.

Apparently this fellow was down in Mexico impersonating Oswald before the assassination.

If Trump was in office when that picture came out his stooges would say: Yes, that's Oswald, that camera just made him look a bit fatter.
