Put me on record as being in the "nothing ever happens" camp: Oswald done it, the grassy knoll is just a particularly grassy knoll, and the remaining 1% or whatever unreleased files contain a fat nothingburger.

You still have to explain the magic bullet impossibilities, fully intact bullet on the stretcher, Oswald as known CIA asset (CIA reports show this), etc.

None of this is really explainable by the official story.

This has been explained ad nauseam. The bullet went in a straight line.

I’m sure the CIA has used a lot of unstable people all over. It’s not inconceivable that one of them went on to commit an assassination without being directed to by the CIA. Sometimes things are just boring.

I completely agree that this is the most likely case.

That said, the public deserves to know the extent of the CIA's involvement.

I would be wholly unsurprised if it turned out to be some Mujahideen type deal where taxpayers invested a bunch to up-skill this guy, left him alone once the reason for the investment was over and he eventually came back around to shoot at us.

Sure, maybe the CIA did it, maybe the Cubans or Soviets did it. I'm not really invested in the "real truth" of the situation. I'm just saying that I don't think the remaining documents are going to say anything that we don't already know.

I'm personally on the "JFK shot himself" bandwagon now.

We've had it all wrong, JFK clearly must've shot Oswald and assumed his identity

Now you're starting to get it.
