How to properly analyze the 2022 release

[Joseph Backes]

1.) Get all previously released versions of the document that you can. You can do this for many between the Mary Ferrell Foundation and what NARA scanned and put online starting in 2017.

2.) Read them. Compare and contrast them. 

3.) Is there anything that was redacted that now isn't? Or are they merely releasing material they already released knowing the vast majority of so called researchers will be too lazy and too stupid to notice? That happens to be the case with several documents so far.

4.) Do not read a document in ignorance of whether it had been released before and eager for attention proclaim how interesting it was to you and start a thread on it. 

Tragically, Larry will hold a press conf today ( 12/16/2022) as if he has done steps 1 - 3 above.  It is impossible to have done a proper, professional analysis of 13,000+ documents overnight.  You're setting yourself up for failure to pretend that you have.  A slower more cautious approach to at least give yourself a weekend would have been a smart move, even better to come back to this after the holidays.

Hi, Joe! I forget the man's name now (some author/researcher who self-published quite a few kindle-only releases), but this guy really got on your nerves a few years back- he would post the docs with red arrows and your response was something like "enough of the arrows: keep reading."

 

EDIT: Ralph Thomas was his name.

Yep. But it's harder to get any attention drawn to it after about 24 hours or the first mass shooting in Texas, whichever comes first. I think they believe the pressure helps, which may be true.

The real laundry gets cleaned in court, in front of a jury, where minute details can be presented to a captive audience.

I have all the released docs in the excel format offered...

I am filtering the new release for only those files that had not previously been released since I am finding that while some of the new docs have removed
some of the redactions, some are exactly the same... or are only partially un-redacted.

The CIA talking in June 1962 about a potential coup in Vietnam due to the "people's" dissatisfaction with the leadership... yet also saying they will say no more to the American people as the USA does not support illegal acts like a coup... overtly at least.  https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2022/176-10036-10086.pdf 

Just getting started so hopefully something of real value will bubble to the top...
