Let's posit that Oswald acted alone. That he fired three shots and those three shots account for all the wounds in Kennedy and Connolly.
Let's also posit that Jack Ruby acted alone. That nobody was behind his actions but himself.
Both points conceded for the sake of my post.
What possible "National Security" reason could there possibly be that would restrict the release of thousands of documents to the public?
Since both men acted alone, without the support or involvement of any foreign or domestic governmental agency ... then there is no logical explanation for keeping documents secret 50 years after the fact.
What National Security information could possibly be at stake here? Both men acted ALONE we are told. They weren't in league with anyone. So who or what is being protected with the secrecy?
You want he CTs to stop? Release all documents to the public with no redaction.
The USSR doesn't exist anymore. Castro is a senile old man. None of the Kennedy brothers are alive anymore. LBJ isn't alive anymore. None of the Mafia chieftains of the day are alive any more. Dulles and Hoover are dead too.
And even if any of them were alive, it would not matter since Oswald and Ruby acted alone we are told.
I am a firm believer in Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is usually the right one.
The simplest explanation for a government locking away files under the guise of "national security" is that there is something in the files that .... wait for it... threatens national security.
Two men acting alone, with no outside agency involved, 50 years ago, doesn't threaten national security in any way.
Release the files. That either shuts up the CTers or validates them.
No excuse not to.
