#1 This is consistent with what I have suspected for a long time. It always seemed to me that there was a cover-up, and that the best explanation was that we were afraid to publicly confront the USSR because the people might force action that could escalate to nuclear war.

Not all of the files will be released; the NSA is holding some back pending further review

The NSA is still... "reviewing" after 60 years ?

Could it be that Oswald was no stranger to US authorities ?

#3 Oswald to Moscow then to Havana then to Dallas was always enough for me.

My problem with all this is simple.

After 50+ years and numerous release delays, partial releases and reschedules.

PLUS: "Not all of the files will be released; the NSA is holding some back pending further review" An what still needs review (protected) after 50+ F'ing years of being sifter thru a .0001 micron filter a dozen times?

Now it raises the questions like:
How many people on Operation Mongoose met with odd or untimely deaths?

Whom had the KGB compromised in Congress/US Gov?

Were any of the US political elite steering families involved?

An what still needs review after 50+ F'ing years that has not been sifter thru a 1 micron filter a dozen times.

So how can we trust a damn thing now?Because, at this point even if they did release the real truth, over 1/2 of the readers would still question it.

#5 Sources and methods may still need protecting. What if we have a multi-generation source in Russia? Or a wire tap that's been undetected all this time?

A twenty-year-old then could still be alive today, so there may be actual people being protected.

#6 there may be actual people being protected.

The democratic party?

#7 And roughly at the same time the Democrat party started leaning into communist ideology.
