I know this subject is a passion of yours and I look forward to hearing your thoughts as more information comes out. I also suspect there will be no real evidence revealed.

The question we can’t ask is who controls the CIA? Hint; it’s not America.

Who would you guess based on a typical motivation like “follow the money”?

It wasn’t benign. It was deliberate. A deliberate obfuscation. Part of the “mystique” of the agency. Doesn’t matter whether they did, or didn’t do it. Either way, the “agency” wanted people to believe there was a possibility.

A cover-up is, by definition, deliberate. But you are correct: it was not benign.

Just another kabuki theatre episode to keep the masses distracted as the oligarchs continue to loot the country.

The big takeaway so far is the revelation of CIA methods. Do you think this is a credible “benign” explanation for the 60+ year coverup?

No.

You think they’ll advance that explanation anyway? I think that’s what they told Trump 1.0.

“Benign cover-up”? When is it ever benign to lie? Suppression of evidence is a lie by omission of fact. Similar to what the corporate press and our government(s) did that resulted (and still goes on) in so much death and destruction, lies by omission are absolutely MALIGN.

Yeah! And J6 was an insurrection until irrefutable proof is provided…the evidence of which was destroyed by the mop up operation performed by select members of “the People’s House”.

Yup! That was benign as well. [That was sarcasm for the slower learners that find their way here.]

Conspiracy is a legal concept and they are proved every day in court through circumstantial evidence since they are so hard to prove otherwise. Since legal proofs are probabilistic it makes sense to look at aspects like clusters of data points rather than a paper trail.
