## Early Life

Lee Harvey Oswald was born October 18, 1939 in Louisiana, his parents were Robert Edward Lee Oswald Sr. and Marguerite Oswald, at a young age Oswald was diagnosed with a Mental illness called Schizoid personality disorder that made him suffer and disturbed, his mental illness did not stop Lee from going to school and doing his everyday stuff, but it affected his mental health.

Lee's mother did not care that much about Lee, Lee noted "just felt that his mother never gave a damn for him. He always felt like a burden that she simply just had to tolerate". Lee was smart though, he wen't to Arlington Heights High School, but Lee did not want to learn, his mental health challenged him, Lee never earned a daploma, Lee was removed from his mother's care and put in a better school.

Lee had a little bit of trouble spelling in his youth years, he suffered a lot, he felt no-one could understand him or love him, he felt lonely at often times, By age 15, he wrote in his diary: "I was looking for a key to my environment, and then I discovered socialist literature. I had to dig for my books in the back dusty shelves of libraries". He proclaimed himself a socialist, Lee's closet friend was George de Mohrenschildt who was a Russian immigrant, Lee and George shared idea's a lot, Lee and George were amazed by communism, they both publicly declared themselves communists, which they got a lot of hate for.

Lee was called "Leon" because the name "Lee" was very uncommon is Louisiana. The name Lee is mostly common is place's like New York, and Vermont.

### Mental illness

Lee probably did not go mad, but he was very close to, he suffered from anxiety and possibly Bipolar disorder, but it was clear he was somewhat mentally ill, but he could have just depression because of little affection from his parents.

### Lee's friend ship with George de Mohrenschildt

Lee was very close to George as he was the only man who understood him, Lee and George shared ideas and thoughts, George and Lee were hated by his neighborhood for following Marxist-Lennism, but that did not stop them from following it. It had been a few years into the cold war and many American's did not befriend Russian people, George was a Russian but Lee friended him anyways.

## Life in the Army

Lee did not opt for a job, he have had a job in the past as a teenager as a mail man, but he quit. Lee became a marine, he fought in the cold war. Lee flew to Europe and defected the Soviet Union in 1959. Lee was taught Russian, along with other marines. Lee was a great Russian speaker, but not good of a spy, when he went to Russia, he attempted to pretend he was betraying America, but they thought Lee was crazy and let him free without killing him.

Lee moved to Belarus were he had many girlfriends cause of the fact he was really handsome, he was also admired by his girlfriends because he knew how to speak fluent Russian, and he knew how to use pistols and rifles, Lee was nicknamed "Oswaldskovich" by his fellow marines because of his amazement of the Russian culture.

Lee moved to Russia for a few months.

Ella German was one of the many girlfriends of Lee Harvey Oswald. Ella German was very fond of Lee and they have many pictures together. Ella was born in Belarus and she had Russian ansestory. Ella and Lee relationship ended when Lee wen't back to Russia, after Lee left, Ella wen't to Israel.

## Marriage to Marina Nikolayevna

When Lee moved to Russia many people thought he was Russian himself. Oswald met a russian woman by the name of Marina Nikolayevna in 1961, six weeks after they met they married. 1 year later they had a daughter named June Lee Oswald, and in 1963, they had another daughter named Audrey Mariana Rachel Oswald, Mariana described Lee as a friendly and soft, but very angry husband.

Marina and Lee left Russia for Texas, Marina and Lee moved to an apartment, Lee started to work for the government.

## Kennedy assassination

On November 22, 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald entered Dealey Plaza to go to his office, but in that same building the CIA had a plan to murder the 35th president of the united states John F Kennedy, Lee had no idea so he kept working, the CIA shot Kennedy in the head with a rifle.

At the time Kennedy was very popular, so if the CIA told everyone they killed Kennedy, everyone would try to overthrow them, so Lee was the best to blame, Lee was the best to blame for many reasons:

1. Lee was a communist and this was at the time of the cold war, communists were widely hated and harrased, Lee was a good person to blame, Lee has even said he was communist on tape.
2. Lee was in his office in the same exact building that the CIA was in when they shot kennedy so Lee was a good target.
3. Lee knew how to use a rifle and the wepon that killed kennedy was the rifle.

Lee Harvey Oswald was wrongfully arrested on November 22, 1963, he was never given a trial and put was imprisoned in a car.

## Murder

Just 2 days after the Kennedy assassination, Oswald was being taken to a prison, just a few moments later a man by the name of Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald in the chest, Lee was not well protected and the cops failed to stop Jack Ruby from killing Lee, Lee's last words was "What the F-" as he was shot. People began to question weather or not Lee actually killed Kennedy, one critic claimed "If Lee shot and killed Kennedy, why was the man who shot the president so unprotected that Jack Ruby could just shoot him". The CIA made a false statement saying that Lee's palm print was on the Gun that shot Kennedy, but local crime inspectors said "A simple palm-print cannot determine if Lee had shot Kennedy, you need a finger print to show some evidence, but not even a finger print is enough"

Lee's best friend George, shot himself in the head as an act of Suicide, the country was divided with people who think Lee shot Kennedy, and people who think Lee was innocent, but after Lee Harvey Oswald's murder people began to not trust the US government, Kennedy's vice-president Lyndon B. Johnson succeeded him. Lee's dead body was placed in Dallas, Texas.

Jack Ruby on the other hand was arrested, Jack had known Lee Harvey Oswald before, but the odd thing was Jack was anti-Communist and Lee was pro-Communist, so the question was "Why was an anti-communist hanging out with a pro-communist even during the cold war". Jack probably had plans to murder Oswald before

## Reason's why Lee was not the assasian

There are many reasons why Lee probably was not the murderer:

1. There is no evidence that Lee actually brought a gun, Lee was in his office during the time of the assassination. Lee was silenced there for he could the explain the truth. But Lee left his pistol and rifle at home during the time of the assassination, his wife Marina even said that he left the guns at home.
2. A former CIA member said the plot the kill Kennedy was suppose to be used to kill a dictator living in Cuba named Fidel Castro, but the former CIA agent said "The plot was used for the wrong reason". Which meant someone in the CIA used the plot to kill the president.
3. Lee had never ever had a History of murdering people (Not including the people her killed in war), also it would be odd that a former marine who served his country during the cold war would suddenly betray it by killing a popular man.
4. The CIA always hated Kennedy because he had ideas that gave the government little power over the presidency.
5. And lastly Lee was never known for disliking president Kennedy, even though Lee Harvey Oswald probably liked Kennedy's republican opponent, Richard Nixon, Lee never publicly said he disliked Kennedy at all.
