INTRODUCTION TO THE CASE
Oswald’s full biography is presented below this introduction.
Any biography of Oswald should first mention why an unbiased biography is necessary. To this end, an introduction to the case is presented here, before entering the full chronology of Oswald’s life. Oswald was the officially accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. However, Kennedy had many enemies, and a “Wanted for Treason” poster was seen everywhere in Dallas that day. Oswald was almost immediately singled out as the only gunman. Arrested at 1:40 PM, a mere 70 minutes after Kennedy’s murder, Oswald’s arrest sheet states: “This man shot and killed President John F. Kennedy and Police Officer J. D. Tippit. He also shot and wounded Governor John Connally.”
This statement was signed by two arresting officers and by Dallas Police Captain Will Fritz, who filed charges the same day. The statement does not say that Oswald is a suspect. It presumed his guilt: no hunt for any other gunman was conducted after Oswald’s arrest,
and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover called off investigations of other possible assassins.
The FBI quickly declared Oswald guilty, though the Bureau acted without the right to adjudge in matters of local jurisdiction.
It must be also be noted that “(d)espite physical abuse and absolute isolation, Oswald continued to state that he was innocent. Each previous assassin of an American president immediately and boastfully declared that the act was his.”
Two investigations, after Oswald’s death by murder, were conducted: first, by The Warren Commission (WC), whose investigation relied on the findings of the FBI, and later by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), which complained that information was withheld by the CIA.
Both concluded Oswald was guilty, though the HSCA established there was a conspiracy involved, based on recorded acoustic evidence.
However, the recorded acoustic evidence was probably invalid. However, seasoned Parkland Hospital emergency room doctors who inspected Kennedy to determine the nature of his wounds reported he had a gaping hole in the back of his head, in stark contrast to later autopsy reports made by military doctors describing nothing but a small entry bullet wound in the back of Kennedy’s head. There are so many eyewitnesses to the exit wound as the Parkand Hospital doctors and personnel described it that honest researchers conclude, taking into account other problems (such as suspicious autopsy photos, and the fact that Kennedy’s brain, which would have provided proof of which direction the bullet came from, has “gone missing”) that the Zapruder film showing Kennedy struck from the front depicts the truth – meaning Oswald could not fire the fatal bullet, since his position was in a building behind Kennedy when the bullet struck. 
Typical is the testimony of Dr. Robert McClelland, a physician in the emergency room who observed that the back right part of the head was blown out, along with posterior cerebral tissue, and that some cerebellar tissue was missing. [10]The size of the back head wound, according to his description, indicated it was an exit wound, and that a second shooter from the front delivered the fatal head shot. Clint Hill, the Secret Service Agent who was sheltering the President with his body on the way to the hospital, said "The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car." [11]Reports that Hill “pushed” Jackie Kennedy back into the car abound, but she said she was retrieving a piece of her husband’s brain that had been blown out onto the trunk of the car. She carried it in her hand to the hospital.

Therefore, concerns about a conspiracy exist, due to troubling witness statements, planted evidence in the case, and allegations by CIA and FBI agents that Oswald had worked in some capacity for the CIA and/or FBI, all of which cannot be ignored by unbiased researchers. Most recently, the ARRB (Assassinations Records Review Board, a government-ordered official inquiry) was created due to an outcry of the people after the 1991 Oliver Stone film, JFK, exposed how the case, and Oswald, had been mishandled.
The ARRB assembled a huge list of records the law required to be released: however, many records are still being unlawfully withheld.
The Background of the Case: Additional Problems
In 1959, Lee Harvey Oswald, a former United States Marine, defected to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, arriving in Moscow just before his 20th birthday. He returned nearly three years later to the United States with a Russian wife and baby, without being arrested. On June 25, 1963, he obtained a new US passport in only 24 hours. Prof. Michael Kurtz and others have stated Oswald worked closely with former FBI agent Guy Banister in New Orleans, who was prominent in anti-Castro activities. We have stated that Oswald, age 24, was arrested an hour and ten minutes after President Kennedy was shot, and quickly charged with killing Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit (killed thirty-four minutes after Kennedy's assassination). Evidence exists that should concern anyone interested in who was responsible for Kennedy’s murder. For example, Lyndon Johnson’s aide and J. Edgar Hoover had this phone conversation, which was taped:
“The thing I am concerned about, and so is [Deputy Attorney General Nicholas] Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin.” –FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, speaking on the telephone to Johnson aide Walter Jenkins two hours after Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby, HSCA Report, vol. III, pp. 471-73.
Subsequent government investigations ruled Oswald was the sole assassin, but, as Dallas author and reporter Jim Marrs testified before the ARRB (Assassinations Records Review Board):
"...consider yourselves detectives. You arrive on the crime scene and here is the victim's body.
The uniformed police present you with four suspects. By the way, they tell you, we caught Suspect
Number 4 destroying evidence, withholding evidence, altering evidence, fabricating evidence and
intimidating witnesses. Now who are you going to believe committed the crime? Suspect Number
4. In this case Suspect Number 4 represents persons within the Federal Government of the United
States. The crimes mentioned have been documented. So the government that we turn to for
information on this case includes some of the very suspects in the case."
Marrs' statement exemplifies the problems encountered in assigning "guilty" or "innocent" to Oswald, and why "conspiracy theorists" find the Kennedy assassination case intriguing. If the fox killed the rooster, can it be trusted to guard the henhouse? A few more salient examples of questionable evidence used to present Oswald as guilty should be mentioned: there are at least two "killer rifles" involved, both identified as "the" rifle owned by Oswald that killed Kennedy. One rifle --an Italian carbine -- is on display at The National Archives. It measures 36" long. But the famed "backyard photos" purport to show Oswald with the same rifle, though that Italian carbine measures 40" long. The two rifles even have different sling mount attachments. The "backyard photos" also show Oswald's chin as square -- clearly not his chin-- and the 'subversive' publication he holds is too big -- it had to have been inserted into the photographs. Oswald himself protested, when shown one of these photographs, that his head had been pasted onto someone else's body.[12] In another example, Oswald, unshaven, beaten, and wearing torn clothing, was placed in lineups with well-dressed office workers wearing ties. Oswald's request to be allowed a shower, and to be given a jacket to wear, was denied. A third example of mishandling the suspect and the evidence is that, stunningly, no written or recorded records of anything Oswald said during at least 12 hours of interrogation were ever made, though a pool of stenographers worked for the Dallas police department, and tape recorders were available. The Warren Commission had to rely on what the Dallas police, the FBI and the CIA interrogating officers reported as Oswald's words, Even so, everyone agreed Oswald never confessed to the crime, despite relentless pressure to do so. Decades later, FBI agent James Hosty, who interrogated Oswald part of that time, presented a few scribbled notes for examination. Most troubling of all, Oswald was quickly arraigned for two murders with malice with no legal representation, despite his pleas for a lawyer.
"I emphatically deny these charges," Oswald told reporters. "I'm just a patsy!" Less than forty-eight hours after Kennedy’s death —before he could be brought to trial-- while being transferred under heavy police custody from the city jail to the county jail, Oswald was mortally wounded by a gunshot to the abdomen by nightclub owner, police-influencer and Mafia associate Jack Ruby.[13]The murder was viewed by millions on live television. As Oswald lay dying, having been taken to a small room in the jail's garage where the shooting took place, police urged him to confess. Oswald shook his head, then lapsed into unconsciousness. He was taken by ambulance to Parkland Hospital a few minutes later -- the same hospital where President Kennedy had died two days earlier. There Oswald expired, during a frantic operation to repair massive internal injuries from the bullet. Oswald's was the first live murder in television history.
On September 24, 1964 the Warren Commission, whose members were appointed by President Lyndon Johnson, published The Warren Commission Report, with 26 volumes of investigative material and interviews. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing of Kennedy and the wounding of Texas Governor John Connally. The findings have since been proven controversial and have been both challenged and reaffirmed. Because evidence has been suppressed, or ignored, by defenders of the official version, and because many records still withheld will not be released until almost every witness will be deceased, and in consideration of the suspicious deaths of a number of witnesses who were speaking out, or might have done so, conspiracy theorists, noting how frequently the murders of leaders have occurred elsewhere in the world, have concluded that a Coup d'Etat may have taken place, with government officials cooperating with those responsible to keep the country from falling into chaos. With the knowledge that an ‘official version’ of Oswald's biography has been widely circulated as the ‘only’ trustworthy version, when it is well known that much new evidence, and the statements of new emerging witnesses, have not been adequately addressed, and that some evidence and witness statements have been suppressed or distorted by proponents of the ‘official version,’ Oswald's biography is presented here using a balanced viewpoint, taking into consideration both old information and newer information now available.
The Modern Lee Harvey Oswald Biography: Updated with New Evidence, Witnesses and Information
EARLY LIFE
Birthdate: October 18, 1939, Birthplace: The Old French Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
family members: Lee Oswald was the third child and third son of New Orleans native Marguerite Claverie, by her second marriage, to Robert Edward Lee Oswald (married 20 July, 1933). Lee Oswald's full brother, Robert, was born April 7, 1934. Lee's oldest sibling, a half-brother (John Edward Pic) was born January 17, 1932, after Marguerite's previous marriage to Edward John Pic, Jr ended in divorce. Marguerite described her marriage to Robert E. Lee Oswald, an insurance agent, as a happy one, but he died of a heart attack on August 19th, 1939, two months before Lee Oswald was born. He was named Lee after his father; Harvey was his paternal grandmother's maiden name.
After two years of struggle, Marguerite, financially and emotionally stressed, placed her sons in a Lutheran orphanage, Bethlehem Children's Home, Lee at first being kept by his affectionate Aunt Lillian (Marguerite's sister) and his Uncle Charles Murret until he was old enough to enter the orphanage, where he remained with his brothers for about a year. Their mother visited them on weekends. Marguerite's third marriage, to Edwin A. Ekdahl, an electrical engineer, allowed Lee to return home, to Dallas, TX. where he was treated as a son by Ekdahl, while Lee's brothers were sent to Chamberlain-Hunt Military Academy at Port Gibson, Miss, their tuition there paid by their mother. The marriage was happy for a time, but after they moved to Fort Worth, TX, problems developed when Ekdahl committed infidelities, and the couple had a bitter divorce in June, 1948.
Lee and his mother moved often in the ensuing years, each move making it more difficult for Lee, who suffered from dyslexia, to catch up on his studies and make friends. Nevertheless, Lee managed to pass his classes and did not fail any grades, and his general behavior was not considered erratic or violent, though there is no doubt that he was a thoughtful and quiet child, whose deep interest in reading, despite his disability, along with a lifelong interest in politics, classical music and chess, would serve to set him apart.
However, by his early teens, incidents of concern arose: in New York, where he and his mother moved in 1952, Lee's half-brother, John Pic, reported that Lee made a threatening gesture with a knife at his wife, while Lee's truancy while living in the Bronx caused him to be remanded to Youth House, a reform school, which was a brutalizing experience. A psychiatrist there concluded Lee had emotional problems, with no family support to rely upon. But Lee may have found an anchor in his troubled seas: he reported to his lover, Judyth Vary Baker, in 1963 that he found a 'cause to live for' when he viewed TV episodes of "I Led Three Lives" featuring the true, secret life of Herbert Philbrick, a double agent for the FBI who had penetrated a Communist cell in New York. New evidence comes from the Charles Thomas family, that Charles Thomas, a Customs agent in Buffalo, New York, who later moved to Miami, befriended Lee and may have influenced him. Thomas, a decade later, was described as meeting Lee Oswald in New Orleans after his return from the Soviet Union, for the purpose of expediting the processing of Lee Oswald's passport, which he received, though a 'defector' to communism, and with a passport application that presented an intent to return to the Soviet Union and other suspect countries, in only 24 hours. No official excuse for this remarkable event has satisfied independent investigators.
NEW YORK, HERBERT PHILBRICK, AND RETURN TO NEW ORLEANS
Lee Oswald told at least two other persons (his mother and his older brother, Robert) that Philbrick became a hero in his eyes. At this time, at age 13, it is known that he began studying both communism and capitalism intensely, reading Marx, Lenin, Hobbes, Hume, Huxley, and the works of American founding fathers, with the intention, Baker said, of becoming a double agent himself. Lee's family also reported that Lee memorized his older brother Robert's Marine Manual, and that he wore his brother's Marine ring (the ring was removed from Oswald's left hand when he was arrested in Dallas on November 22, 1963).
Fearing her son would be returned to Youth House after a brief reprieve, during which Lee Oswald seemed to be doing well in school, Marguerite refused to appear for court hearings; instead, she left New York, biut instead of returning to Texas, she returned to New Orleans with Lee in 1954, where she received help from her sister Lillian, whose husband Charles "Dutz" Murret worked for New Orleans godfather Carlos Marcello. While his mother began dating mafia-connected figures in New Orleans, notably, Lee began attending CAP (Civil Air Patrol) meetings, taking on a paper route to earn money for a CAP uniform. CAP meetings stressed patriotism and pre-military training, especially flight training. A photo of Lee in the company of notorious CAP Commander and professional pilot David W. Ferrie was discovered in 1993 and published on PBS Frontline. Ferrie was implicated in the Kennedy assassination by New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, but died only days after he protested he would now be killed: the official autopsy said death occurred via natural causes, but two unsigned suicide notes and other difficulties obscure a final decision on the matter; in 1995, Ferrie was unveiled as an Oswald associate, CIA asset and cancer researcher in a book by Edward T. Haslam, updated in 2007 as Dr. Mary's Monkey, substantiating Garrison's suspicions as revealed in his book On the Trail of the Assassins.
LIFE IN THE MARINES
In New Orleans, and later in Fort Worth, Texas, Lee would attend five different schools in the next several years, finally dropping out a few days after his 17th birthday to join the Marines (both his siblings had already joined military organizations), his longtime dream. He had attempted to join the Marines when he was only 16, using a faked birth certificate, buit his small physical stature was a giveaway, and he was rejected. However, at age 17, he successfully finished Boot Camp, subsequently attaining his GED, a matter rarely mentioned. He was also trained in marksmanship, scoring in the lower two of three marksmanship levels. Between October 1956 and October 1959, Lee was trained at Jacksonville, Biloxi, and El Toro. He then served on the U.S. S. Bexar, during which time friends noticed he was studying Russian and subscribing to Russian newspapers and magazines. That he was able to conduct such activities without harrassment or investigation during serious ongoing problems with Russia at the time must be considered, not ignored: what Marine could conduct such activities, and also be tested (as was Oswald) for proficiency in Russian, unless he had received approval at some level to do so? Lee was then sent to Atsugi, Japan (a known MK-ULTRA --"mind control" operations center--and U2 spy station); he later saw duty in the Pacific, and in the South China Sea. By September, 1959, Lee had a thorough knowledge of Russian culture, music, and literature. Fellow Marines called him "Oswaldovitch." That they tolerated his apparent proclivity for all things Russian remains an unexplained paradox. Common sense argues that fellow Marines understood Oswald was preparing for special work.
Reports from officers and peers at this time vary as to Lee's character, whether he received covert training, and if he was a good Marine: some officers praised him, while others thought him lazy or derelict. Lee was court-martialed twice during this time, and other incidents of concern also occurred, but researchers, who argue over what remains of Lee's military record (many files were destroyed or 'lost,') haggle over evidence that Lee might have been specially trained to enter Russia as a fake defector. To be convincing as a disgruntled former Marine, he may have had to be 'dirtied up.' Evidence exists that he gathered intelligence covertly: it is known that Lee consorted with expensive and beautiful Japanese courtesans at the Queen Bee lounge, suspected of being involved in espionage activities. His small Marine income would have made such activities financially impossible, and is in conflict with official statements that Lee was able to save enough money for his trip to the Soviet Union from America.
By September 20, 1959, Lee Oswald came and left Texas after a visit to his mother lasting only a few days, proceeding to New Orleans. In what appears to be a carefully crafted plan, he had removed himself from active duty, using the excuse that his mother needed him due to an injury (which was only to her nose), becoming a Reserve Marine with an honorable discharge from active duty. The honorable discharge would later be changed to 'undesirable': though Marine records supposedly are not altered after discharge, Oswald's were after his 'defection.' Researcher James Olmstead has noted that Oswald failed to show up for reserve training, as required once a year, which of course would have been impossible while living within the Soviet Union. This failure to fulfill his responsibility to the Marine reserves would be sufficient to change his discharge to 'undesirable.' Contrary to many reports, Oswald never received a dishonorable discharge designation.
THE DEFECTION
By October 10, Lee was in London, and by Oct. 16, 1959, at the height of the Cold War, Lee Oswald became America's youngest and most enigmatic defector, not yet 20 years old. How he paid for the trip, the letters he sent to universities, and his utilization of a little-known military route to Moscow (through Helsinki), with precise timing for visas, suggest a well-planned scenario.
Close scrutiny of Lee's life in the USSR, beginning with his taking an expensive suite at the luxurious Metropole Hotel in Moscow, and his actions there, which included cutting his left wrist in a "suicide" attempt that required four stitches to close, when he was first denied entry as a defector, as well as copious accounts from eyewitnesses, reveal many troubling factors, beginning with his actions at the US Embassy in Moscow.
Lee Oswald supposedly 'tried to renounce his citizenship' and actually handed over his US passport at the Embassy, stating he planned to reveal classified information learned as a radar operator at the U2 base at Atsugi. So important was this information that testimony exists showing the codes concerning the U2 spy planes were immediately changed. That Lee Oswald was then allowed to leave the US Embassy, to go mingle with the Russians, defies explanation, despite defensive comments later made that Lee was just a young fellow who didn't really mean what he threatened. Lee Oswald should have been detained, not allowed egress from the Embassy, and charged with treason. Instead, he was allowed to leave. Further, at the end of nearly three years, Lee Oswald returned to the US Embassy and picked up his passport, still kept at the Embassy; he also received a loan to pay for his and his family's expeditious return to the US (Oswald repaid the loan quickly), and with comparatively little difficulty, he returned to the US, even though he had a Russian wife and baby in tow. How Lee Oswald convinced both the Russians and the Americans to allow this unusual event to occur, with the Iron Curtain a stark reality, remains a mystery that neither government has adequately explained.
Lee had spent most of his time in the USSR in Belarus (White Russia), at Minsk, where he had lived in relative comfort with his own private apartment-with-a-view, a good job, and a generous salary. He was known to be under constant surveillance by the Russians.
Photos taken in the Soviet Union prove Lee Oswald was a sociable and gregarious individual during this time period, actively pursuing lively romantic interests, attending Party dances, and needing only six weeks to court (mostly from a hospital bed, when he fell ill with adenoiditis and otitis) a young, pretty Russian girl, 20-year-old Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova, who had been living in Minsk as an orphan with her aunt and uncle, an official in the Communist Party: the pair met March 17, 1961 and were wed in a State ceremony on April 30, 1961. It would not be a happy marriage.
RETURN TO THE US
A year later, the couple arrived in Fort Worth, Texas after a saga that included quick travel from behind the Iron Curtain through Poland and thence to The Netherlands, where they continued their journey by steamship from Rotterdam to New York, after which they flew to Texas. Remarkably, debriefing was reported as cursory: there was little overt interest in Lee Oswald's return from the USSR. There is evidence that Lee Oswald left baggage behind at one stop before reaching Texas. At this time, McCarthyism and anti-communism was rampant. Persons merely suspected of communist sympathies were fired, and Xenophobia reigned. Lee Oswald's photo had been in the papers when he 'defected' -- yet he returned without fanfare and immediately slipped into a 'normal' life, first in Fort Worth, then in Dallas, finding work through immediate friendly connections.
Lee and Marina first lived briefly with Lee's married brother, Robert, and then with Marguerite, Lee's mother; soon, this arrangement proved impossible due to Marguerite's controlling ways, but the culture-shocked Marina was befriended by members of the White Russian Community in Dallas, who bewailed the way Lee was treating her. The main complaint was that Lee insisted on sequestering Marina and their baby (June Lee) and resented any material aid, though they struggled financially; Marina bitterly complained of being mistreated, though the suave Baron George deMohrenschildt, a CIA asset, friend of Jackie Kennedy's family, petroleum geologist and Russian instructor (born in Minsk), stated in his memoirs "I Am a Patsy" (HSCA document, unpublished manuscript) that Marina constantly insulted and demeaned her husband both in private and public. After Lee beat his wife on several occasions, they separated, but despite her new friends' advice, Marina returned to Lee, and soon became pregnant again.
Lee Oswald's job history is only briefly mentioned here: his whereabouts were sometimes unknown for days at a time when he was not employed. The official versions concur that he was a poor and sullen worker, and was let go by one employer (Jaggers-Chiles-Stovall) known to be printing maps and classified materials about Cuba --to which Lee Oswald had no certifiable access. But there is the puzzling matter of Lee's meticulous work record there, showing careful and consistent labor, and a strong work ethic. He put in many overtime hours, including Saturdays, which would not have been allowed if he were really a poor worker. Therefore the official version does not conform to work records, for he was invariably on time, did not miss a day of work, and apparently worked hard. Some biographers contend Lee was let go from this job to make him appear just as later described (as part of his 'cover') -- a disaffected worker who could then be able to re-enter the Soviet Union again, or, alternately, enter Cuba, where Fidel Castro had set up a communist regime that was threatening to spread throughout Mexico, South America, and Central America.
The CIA was actively countering this threat with now well-known covert and overt operations.
As a 'fake' defector, an argument exists explaining other puzzling developments in Lee Oswald's life that were about to take place. The official explanations concerning Lee Oswald's true life story are becoming progressively obsolete as new evidence, much of it released by government entities since the movie 'JFK' created the outcry that spurred the creation of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), fleshes out previous conspiracy theories with hard facts. New witnesses have also emerged to support the new evidence, whose statements need to be considered: the old encyclopedia entries rarely include new evidence, and witnesses who have emerged after 1991.
THE WALKER INCIDENT
The Warren Commission concluded that on April 10, 1963, ten days after being fired, Oswald attempted to assassinate retired Major General Edwin Walker, probably using the rifle shown in his backyard pose photos of March 31 (The HSCA stated that the "evidence strongly suggested" that Oswald did the shooting.). General Walker, a John Birch Society member and segregationist, was commanding officer of the Army's 24th Infantry Division before he was relieved of his command in 1961 by President Kennedy for distributing radical right-wing literature to his troops. Walker resigned, but upon his return to Texas, he was arrested (but not indicted) for insurrection, seditious conspiracy, and other charges related to anti-integration and civil rights. Oswald, who was known to support civil rights, regarded Walker as a fascist.
But in 1963, Marina was questioned – and re-questioned—until she finally conceded point after point. For example, at first, she said her husband had no rifle. Later, she said she saw it from time to time. Finally, she was testifying that she saw Oswald dry-firing the rifle night after night in New Orleans, though she described that he cleaned the rifle using pipe cleaners -- clearly improbable – and despite the fact that neighbors reported seeing Oswald only reading on the porch, night after night.
Marina later said she was sequestered by the Secret Service, and felt intimidated.
General Walker's brush with death was reported nationwide. The Dallas police had no suspects in the shooting. Oswald's involvement in the attempt on Walker's life was suspected within hours of his arrest on November 22, 1963, following the Kennedy assassination.&nb
Lee Harvey Oswald was an innocent man. He tried to stop the assassination, and for this reason, had to be silenced. The History Channel for years provided a balanced outlook: some of their documentaries strove to find out the truth.
That all changed in 2003 , when LBJ's widow, two former presidents, and others screamed bloody murder when the bloody murder of Kennedy was shown to have been set up and covered up by our own government, using the Mafia. The series showing these important revelations was called THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY, and it had been airing for almost two decades when the last three episodes came before the American public in November, 2003.
Everything changed when it got too close to the truth. Now there are NO MORE "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" documentaries. The three documentaries that ruined their taste for the truth were episodes 7,8 and 9 which can be seen today (though banned from mainstream media) at the following places:

See all three banned History Channel documentaries without interruption (The Guilty Men, The Love Affair-Baker, The Smoking Guns)

What does the History Channel have for us this year? ANOTHER OSWALD-DID-IT MISHANDLING OF FACTS, EVIDENCE AND COMPUTERS, WELL FINANCED, SLICK AND, FOR DUMMIES, SATISFYING.
The bought-and-sold media comes out every year with "Oswald did it" scenarios-- and every year expects the American people will be stupid enough THIS TIME to fall for their latest bag of tricks.
Not content with BANNING the three documentaries that told the TRUTH in 2003, ANd all the other TMWKK documentaries, the Revised History Channel has joined the rest of American media gto blame the scapegoat oswald,once again trotting out Gary Mack and Co. to push the tired old, rehashed story.
IF LEE OSWALD COULD PROTEST FOR JUST THREE MINTUES, WHAT WOULD HE SAY?
The dialogue below is from Dean Hartwell's website, where his new book, Dead Men lking
presents the problems we're having with our government telling us the truth about 9-11 and the Kennedy assassinations, As do all thoughtful citizens who look beyond the TV 'doctored-mentaries' that skew the truth about 9-11 and the JFK assassination, he realizes that government-sanctioned murders and cover-ups can happen again-- and again-- unless we have an informed citizenry that undestands the dangers of government takeovers . Dean's website is (www.http://www.deanhartwell.com) . Below is a meeting thqat never happened between Lee Harvey oswald, the accused --but innocent --prisoner blamed for kennedy's death, and Chief Justice Ear warren, who wept when President Lyndon Johnson told him he had to head the Commission to find Oswald guulty as charged.
LEE OSWALD FACES EARL WARREN
Chief Justice Earl Warren: Mr. Lee Harvey Oswald, we, the Commission find you guilty of the murders of President John Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit. Before I pronounce your sentence, do you have anything to say to the Commission?
Lee Harvey Oswald: Yes, Your Honor. I do. I never received a trial, let alone a fair trial. You will violate my due process rights by punishing me.
Warren: We could not try you because you had an abortive transfer while in custody of the Dallas Police.
Oswald: You mean I was murdered!
Warren: Wait, Mr. Oswald. You must not prejudice the rights of Mr. Ruby!
Oswald: What about my rights? I asked for counsel several times but the Dallas police never stopped interrogating me.
Warren: You should have told them to stop until your lawyer arrived.
Oswald: The only way my lawyer could have gotten past the police is if he was Jack Ruby!
Warren: Watch it, Mr. Oswald! I warned you that you must not comment on Mr. Ruby. Your lack of counsel complaint is denied. What else would you like to say?
Oswald: You took Captain Fritz’ word for it about what I said during hours and hours of interrogation. He could have asked anyone standing outside the room for a tape recorder.
Warren: That is not for you to decide. Besides, some people are gifted with great memories and we had to give Captain Fritz the benefit of the doubt. Any other complaints?
Oswald: Your commission used my wife Marina’s testimony against me. What happened to the spousal immunity?
Warren: It ended when you expired. Tough break. What else?
Oswald: When the police brought me in, they told me something about a policeman being killed. Then they kept asking me questions about the President!
Warren: Yes. It was a neat way of getting around the right to counsel problem. Come on, Mr. Oswald. The Commission’s time is precious.
Oswald: Those line-ups the police used caused undue prejudice against me! They brought in people that did not look a thing like me and the witnesses had all seen my face on television!
Warren: Those police officers were just refreshing the memories of the witnesses, Mr. Oswald. We are sure it was harmless error.
Oswald: Where was the evidence against me? I read your Report several times and I do not believe a reasonable person could find me guilty of anything. I do not recognize the murder weapon, so tell me how I used it.
Warren: The experts found your prints on it.
Oswald: Yes. The FBI put my prints there – when I was in the morgue!
Warren: Maybe, Mr. Oswald. But we know the public still trusts the government enough not to buy your defense.
Oswald: I was nowhere near the sixth floor when the President was shot. I was downstairs on the first floor.
Warren: Sorry, Mr. Oswald. You just weren’t believable.
Oswald: But you believed Mr. Brennan, who said that from on the ground he could describe the height of a man on the sixth floor even though you concluded that I was in a crouch. He admitted he had lied to the authorities about whether he recognized me.
Warren: We believed him, but we did not base our case against you on him.
Oswald: And you chose not to believe Mr. Arnold, who saw a colored man on the sixth floor close to the time of the shooting.
Warren: Mr. Arnold told lies to his classmates at school. We couldn’t have his testimony as it would have sent the wrong message to high school kids.
Oswald: Do you mean the same high school kids who will hear that I committed a crime that I never committed?
Warren: Dispense with the sarcasm, Mr. Oswald. Get on with your complaints.
Oswald: Why did you rule out every witness who provided exculpatory evidence as “mistaken,” “lying” or providing hearsay?
Warren: Who are you talking about?
Oswald: Mr. Frazier, for example. He told you that my bag could not have carried the murder weapon. You said he and his sister were mistaken.
Warren: There is no other way you could have gotten the murder weapon in.
Oswald: That is circular logic!
Warren: You know what I mean. Eyewitnesses make mistakes all the time.
Oswald: Like Mr. Brennan?
Warren: You’ve had your say about Mr. Brennan. What else?
Oswald: Your Honor: What would it take for me to prove my innocence to you?
Warren: Mr. Oswald, don’t you understand? You had the word “scapegoat” written all over you. You were an avowed Marxist, you went to the Soviet Union and tried to defect, you belonged to a pro-Castro group. When someone is killed, someone else must be to blame for it. Since no one appeared to like you, anyway, we decided that you were the man for the job.
Oswald: Job? I got killed trying to plead my innocence. Didn’t you care about the facts?
Warren: Facts are a stubborn thing, Mr. Oswald. We have the whole case locked up somewhere but we can’t reveal it now.
Oswald: Why not?
Warren: OK. Let me level with you. We need to maintain a history of the President’s death that lets the public know that it can trust its leadership. Letting the public believe a conspiracy took the President’s life would be an unmitigated disaster!
Oswald: Worse than an innocent man being accused of an infamous crime?
Warren: Look, Mr. Oswald. I am truly sorry for your plight. Now, if you don’t mind, the Commission must get back to its job of maintaining law and order in the United States.
Oswald: What about my sentence?
Warren: The sentence is this: “The Warren Commission, having ascertained all relevant facts and circumstances in the murders of President John F. Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit, concludes that both murders were the act of one man, Lee Harvey Oswald
My mother named me "Judyth" with a "Y" -- it used to be uncommon, but not much, anymore. But to family and closest friends, I'm "Judy." Mother named me after Judy Garland, and as a little girl, I remember seeing The Wizard of Oz.which first came out in 1939. It was hard to have color films back then, with a war going on, and The Wizard of Oz was like Star Wars to Americans in the 80's, and what Back to the Future meant to American's in the mid-80's. By the mid-millenium, we had two great fantasy movie contenders, and both were a series, just as were Star wars and Back to the Future (dismal runners-up being Superman, Spiderman and Batman series - all superheroes with teir own set of villains to hate): Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter brought to today's lovers of fantasy what The Wizard of Oz first brought to me.
But fantasy and fact are in entirely different universes, in real life. We can fantasize about some things. We can even fantasize about how life MIGHT have been had we made a different decision. Would I be iving in exile right now, far from friends and family, unable to see children and grandchildren, over a mere fantasy? There are some websites out there that contend I have created some kind of fantasy about Lee Harvey Oswald having been my lover. But they're old websites, and they aren;t dealing very well with all the new evidence. At age 66, I certainly wouldn't be living in exile had I any hope of being able to live without harrassment and persecution in my own country. The only sources of persecution that are visible on the Internet come from a gaggle of people who mostly use alse names and hide behind them. I don;t. I use my real name and my real email address, and face the consequences of same. Whereas THEY resort to --fantasy. Fake names. One claims he's writing from Australia, until you look up his server. The sad part is that some people might believe these fantasts--might think that the Warren Commission, which is almost 50 years out of date, which created its massive hoidge-podge report condemning Oswald, while avoiding looking at ANY of kennedy's numerous enemies -- could possibly be considered patent in the real world.
The real world now has a plethora of living witnesses and new evidence that has been coming forth since the ARRB first opened its doors. Go to YOUTUBE and plug in TMWKK -- THE LOVE AFFAIR-- Baker....and after watching those five segments, see TMWKK THE SMOKING GUNS --and for the grand finale, TMWKK THE GUILTY MEN. How your eyes will be opened. it is the Warren Commission report that's a fantasy.

Of course I'm not perfect--nobody is -- but all my life, I've wanted to be close to God, and to understand what this world is about. I was a naive girl who wanted to become a nun in the Order of St. Francis. There was a period of time in my life when I became an atheist, and thought I had enough wisdom to handle some important decisions in my life. I was wrong. I made some terrible decisions, greatly influenced by important, even famous, people who had entered my life. Their impact on my was profound. My story can be found at judythvarybaler.com, and in the book ME & LEE, which is being published by Trine Day, as well as in Dr. Mary's Monkey, by Edward T. Haslam. Much time has passed since I respected great people and blindly obeyed them due to their greatness. How many bad deeds did people do obeying Hitler? Sometimes we must defy authority, when a higher goal is needed. Sometimes we must turn to God and to the best people we can find, to stand firm when we have to make a difficult decision -- the right decision-- that which accomplishes thje greatest good, even if it means personal suffering.
I have done so.
I have some sincere and dedicated enemies. They will, should they read this blog, no doubt scoff and use it to demonstrate how silly, weak and foolish I am, or how strange. But for those who discern that I care very much about humanity, that I love people, and that I have changed since becoming a Christian who understands what that truly means, perhaps they will understand that I pray every day for my enemies, and forgive them.
Interior silence is one way to divest oneself of the ways and thoughts of the world. I have a lot of passion, and without seeking silence in my soul, and clarity and soundness there, I would be bereft of patience and far too quick (as i used to be) to respond to criticism and personal attacks against my character. Becoming ill and overweight (I am no longer ill or overweight now, thank God) placed me before the eyes of many at a vulnerable time in my life. I was filmed in a documentary, and then for a DVD, at a time when I had just left the hospita, five years and fifty pounds ago. The humiliation was good for me, though: I had stood up for the truth despite what I looked like or how I felt. I had finally done what was right, to the best of my ability, and yes, I paid dearly for it, losing jobs, my reputation, my friends, even family members who no longer wanted to be seenwith me.
Yes, the question of God's existence is always there, because we have only our senses, our limited minds, our limited experiences. But based on what I have learned, a true struggle between good and evil is being played out in the human race. I fear for our chikdren's children, if they do not learn the lessons of history. The question of what is UMAN is important. Abidingly so. And the question of a loving, caring God--of Christ incarnate--will never be answered to anyone's satisfaction through the senses, logic or time alone. It can be answered thoroughly only on the other side of the veil, if then.
However, I have learned so much from the character of Jesus Christ, (including the tremendous peace that comes when you totally forgive your enemies) that I have given myself quite over to being his follower and servant in those best paths he pointed out. I have chosen the good from the teachings. Love one another as he has loved me. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Give, even if it's all you have, if it will help somebody. And secretly doing a good deed...why not?
Where I lack faith, may God grant it, even as the Roman centurian was blessed: God help my unbelief. The world is a dangerous and wonderful place where through the experience of having a body, we learn about the value of the soul (if we are fortunate to live long enough). The peace I have achieved has come from outside myself: I am fully aware of my limitations, and so are my friends (and, surely, my enemies!). I assert my unflinching devotion to beauty, goodness, and the truth -- and to the great freedoms our country has offered to us, which we should never take for granted. It is easy to clear the mind, with practice, to silence. To relax, and allow the mind to rest, to be at peace. No telephones. No TV. No thoughts allowed to intrude -- and, bit by bit, as one gains experience in this exercise, then comes room for prayer. Achieving prayer with a mind at peace is nothing to brag about. It is a human right, a freedom not often exercuised, because too often, we don't teach it to our loved ones. Evil cannot be defeated inside your thoughts unloess you refuse to allow any thoughts to intrude into your silent time of meditation. Purge your mind of thought, don;t be proud or haughty or feel holy or good for doig so....that gets you nowhere. Your goal is to achieve a consummate harmony with your soul, a state of peace. Holding no grudges. Harboring no ill will. Cherishing the knowledge that love has been experienced in one's life--search for it--you will find it--then let it go. Let everything go that might capture your thoughts. Close your eyes, be at rest. If silence is hard to find in your physical life, find a private place and an hour to yourself. defend that private hour: it wll do you good, and everybody around you will be ifluenced. Holiness is really 'wholeness' -- don;t be afrasid to want to be good. At peace, you are pure. In that state, at the end of that purging and settling into peace, then you can reach out to God. Actually, you won't have to 'reach.' God will do the rest. JVB
Excited!
