To me they look like the sort of photocopied "secret government

So the material in the file is stuff the conspiracy nuts who are being watched made up for themselves . . . then because it's actually in a government file concerning them, it gets legitimized because the FOIA request got someone the material but without the covering note that went something like, "Look at what these insane kooks are creating."
