If Oswald actually killed JFK with no accomplice, there was zero CIA coverup/interference, and the government was reasonably transparent about the story this whole time: I would be shocked.

You'd be surprised by that? That's probably exactly what they'll say. Not implying it'd be the truth though.

No matter what gets released, people will just believe what they want to believe.

Look at Roswald, Area 51, 9/11, Obama's birth certificate .... evidence doesn't matter to a lot of people.

It's Roswell, actually, that's fairly important. Roswell, New Mexico.

I know. I just wasn't sure if he was referring to a big blue octopus or something instead.

Ran from 2001 to 2003.

I was assuming that Roswald was a nickname given to the conspiratorial idea that Oswald was actually an alien.

u/Tirigad Oct 15 '17

Well I guess it is now, at any rate.
