We basically do. The reality is that it's just not sexy or exciting. All we're really missing are files that could be related to ongoing investigations of criminal organizations.

Historian Sean Munger has a pretty good video essay on this, but it's honestly a bit of a letdown.

But that doesn't reflect my pet conspiracy theory that it was the reverse vampires who did it. Therefore it's fake.

I'm a reverse vampire (when I donate blood), and can confirm we're up to no good

Just responding with an additional video essay on JFKs assassination, and all the facts we know, specifically about the schoolbook depository.

Lemmino does great video essays with great animations/visuals
