Just hit 500 hours digging into the JFK files and the number of 'Oswald alone' mentions is wild

I started tracking every time the official story says Lee Harvey Oswald acted by himself across the declassified stuff, and it's over 1,200 mentions in those first 500 pages. After a while, seeing that phrase pop up so much in Dallas reports starts to feel less like a fact and more like a script. Has anyone else done a deep count on a specific phrase in a big conspiracy doc set and had the number surprise them?

Remember my buddy got obsessed with the Warren Report and started counting how many times they called Oswald "loner" or "misfit". He said it was like a drinking game, every other page. He hit a hundred before the end of the first volume and just sat back laughing because it felt so forced. Made him question the whole profile they built.

A hundred times in one volume? That's insane, they really wanted that label to stick.

Yeah the "loner or misfit" count is a big one. But what got me was tracking how many times they said he had "no known political views" or was "apolitical". Like in the same files they talk about him handing out pro-Castro flyers in New Orleans and his defection to Russia. So which is it, you know? The story needs him to be a crazy lone gunman, so they have to scrub out the clear political stuff. It makes the whole profile feel fake.
