...the Pentagon Papers, WikiLeaks, Russiagate, questioning of the Supreme Court and FBI. It remains to be seen whether public trust can be restored. #TheOswalds amzn.to/3G2ZE76

I Knew Oswald, and He Acted Alone by Paul Gregory wsj.com/articles/i-kne… via The Wall Street Journal

The documents do not support the idea that Oswald received assassination orders. The documents do underscore Oswald’s perseverance, wiles, stubbornness and ability to plan over a long time-horizon — traits that made him an ideal lone assassin. #TheOswalds bit.ly/3WP72bR

bit.ly/3IdUN4e I find no smoking guns for a conspiracy in the Dec.15 #JFK assassination document dump. Oswald went to Mexico City for visas for a new start in life in #Cuba, not for assassination orders. For a more detailed account, see my new book #TheOswalds

Pal reveals Lee Harvey Oswald’s weird, paranoid life one year before killing JFK nypost.com/2022/11/19/pal… via New York Post

"To this day, Gregory worries that his introduction of the Oswalds to the Russians, and their role bringing Marina—and unintentionally, Lee—from Ft. Worth to Dallas, was a key domino that resulted in Oswald’s murderous Texas sojourn." #TheOswalds spytalk.co/p/new-portrait…

"Ashamed, they looked at me, a stunned witness to the inner workings of their marriage. For Marina, her mistreatment by Lee had become routine. Beatings had begun when they lived in Robert’s house. Although Robert knew, he did not intervene" #TheOswalds paulrgregory.net/shop

"The last person in the world I would involve in a conspiracy would be Lee Harvey Oswald. He wasn't a leader. He wasn't a follower. He would have to do it on his own. I never doubted the fact that: A. He did it. B. He did it all by himself" #TheOswalds youtu.be/vJ595whXpdE

"When I came into Lee and Marina’s life, I witnessed firsthand this small man’s attempt to prove to the world and to his young wife that he was indeed exceptional. In some sense, Oswald was already a tinderbox waiting to be engulfed in flames." #TheOswalds paulrgregory.net/shop

"My take on Lee Harvey Oswald is that, despite his many deficiencies, he had what it takes to assassinate a major political figure. Of course, he needed a string of luck to have the president of the United States in his sight." #TheOswalds paulgregory.net/shop

Lee: "The rich get everything, and the poor get nothing.” ... Anna: “I know the Soviet Union...There is nothing good about it. And you left the United States, which I consider a welcoming land of opportunity and freedom, for that place." #TheOswalds paulrgregory.net/shop

"It was Marina’s job to correct my mistakes in Russian. Lee did not allow her to correct his...he maintained that he needed to speak Russian with Marina to keep up his proficiency, Lee did not tolerate Marina teaching him anything, even if it was her native language." #TheOswalds

"The world had given him a raw deal...that he was owed something...he felt that one day someone should write a biography about him. I had no problem that Lee did it and he did it alone." nationalreview.com/corner/the-man… #TheOswalds

Are we misinterpreting Putin? He is usually represented as a Russian nationalist protecting Mother Russia from NATO and USA. Or does he rather head a mafia state designed to protect stolen assets? Note that the attempted coup (Prigozhin) was about money not Mother Russia.
