Lee Harvey Oswald was born in Louisiana in 1939. His father was a third cousin to Theodore Roosevelt and a distant cousin of Robert E. Lee. The younger Oswald moved dozens of times as a child. When he was twelve, he went to juvie for truancy. He dropped out of high school and joined the Marines. Oswald was a sharpshooter, but was demoted to marksman. He was court martialed twice-once for shooting himself in the elbow, and once for fighting with the sergeant who got him in trouble for shooting himself in the elbow. As a Marine, he met Kerry Thornley, aka Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, the founder of Discordianism. Thornley wrote a book about Oswald, the only book written about him before 1963. After the deaths of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, he became interested in socialism. He earned the nickname Oswaldskovich from his fellow Marines. Nine days after Oswald was granted an early discharge from the Marine Corps in 1959, he traveled from Fort Worth to New Orleans to France to the UK to Helsinki to Vainikkala to Moscow. He allegedly attempted suicide when initially denied citizenship. The government allowed him to stay after his hospital visit. The story of a Marine defecting to the USSR was covered by the AP and UPI. He lived in Minsk and married Marina Prusakova and had two daughters. He worked at a factory where he was befriended by Stanislaus Shushkevich, who later became the first head of state of the independent Belarus. Oswald and his family moved to Dallas in 1962. Lee was arrested as the primary suspect for two killings in November 1963. One was a local Dallas cop, the other was the President of the United States with extensive ties to the Mafia and many enemies in the deep state. Kennedy once said he'd like to “splinter the C.I.A. in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.” CONTINUED IN COMMENTS
