Lee Harvey Oswald Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Lee Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963) was, according to five government investigations, the sniper who assassinated John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.Oswald was a former U.S. Marine who defected to the Soviet Union in October 1959. He lived in the Soviet Union until June 1962, at which time he returned to the United States. Oswald was initially arrested for the murder of police officer J. D. Tippit, who was killed on a Dallas street approximately 45 minutes after President Kennedy was shot. Oswald would later be charged with the assassination of President Kennedy as well but denied shooting anybody, claiming he was a patsy. Two days later, while being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail, Oswald was shot and mortally wounded by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby in full view of television cameras broadcasting live.In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy, firing three shots. This conclusion was supported by prior investigations carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, and Dallas Police Department.Despite forensic, ballistic, and eyewitness evidence supporting the lone gunman theory, public opinion polls taken over the years have shown that a majority of Americans believe that Oswald did not act alone, but conspired with others to kill the president, and the assassination has spawned numerous conspiracy theories. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Oswald fired the shots that killed Kennedy, but differed from previous investigations in concluding that "scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy". The House Select Committee's acoustical evidence has since been discredited.

They have found absolutely nothing to connect us with the Communist Party of the United States. In regards to your question about whether I myself am a communist, as I said I do not belong to any other organization.

We do not support the man. We do not support the individual. We support the idea of independent revolution in the Western Hemisphere, free from American intervention.

Revolutions require work, revolutions require sacrifice, revolutions, and our own included, require a certain amount of rationing, a certain amount of calluses, a certain amount of sacrifice.

I hear they burn for murder. Well, they say it just takes a second to die.

Fact
1
Psychiatrists who interviewed him when he was young believed he suffered from a "personality pattern disturbance with schizoid features and passive-aggressive tendencies".
2
Was a voracious reader and declared himself a Marxist by the age of 15.
3
Grew up in New Orleans, Dallas and briefly New York City where he attended school in The Bronx.
4
His funeral time, date, and location were kept a closely-guarded secret during its preparations in order to keep crashers away. To further insure that it would not be disturbed, Oswald's funeral was held at the same time as JFK's because the family and those at the funeral parlor knew that at that time everyone would be attending the president's funeral. Such was the outrage at Oswald, Oswald's brother could not get a minister to conduct the funeral.
In a bizarre twist to Oswald's story, his body was exhumed in October of 1981 after a British author, Michael Eddowes, claimed that there were actually two Oswalds, and the man buried in Fort Worth, Texas was NOT the same Oswald as was born and raised in the United States. Forensic pathologists at Baylor University conducted exhaustive tests on the remains and concluded to a 100% degree of certainty that the body buried in Fort Worth, Texas was the same person that was arrested for the assassination of President Kennedy nearly twenty years earlier. Following this revelation Michael Eddowes made a hasty escape into oblivion.
7
His death was the first murder ever shown on national television.
8
His training in the Russian language made him so fluent that hs future wife, Marina, reportedly thought that he was a Russian.
9
In April of 1963, he felt that he needed to make his mark as a political assassin and attempted to kill retired General Edwin A. Walker, a segregationist and an anti-communist. After planning the shooting for months, he took a shot at Walker while he was sitting in his living room. The bullet bounced off the window pane and a frightened Oswald fled into the night. Information of this event was never released publicly until after his death.
10
When he tried to defect to the Soviet Union in 1959 he was turned down because the official at the Russian consulate were suspicious of a 20 year old American wanting to defect. Anguished over this, he attempted to commit suicide which some have thought was to gain the sympathies of those who had turned him down. He was given a job in a factory where he met his wife Marina.
In the show Quantum Leap (1989), there was an episode titled "Lee Harvey Oswald,", which was a 2-hour episode, and showed main character Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) leaping into Oswald's life at various points of significance between 1957 and 1963, beginning in 1963 in Oswald's yard, where Marina is taking the famous photograph of Oswald holding the rifle and "Daily Worker," then to 1957 during his stint in Marines stationed in Japan, then California, all leading up to his hatred of politicians, and his assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The episode was based entirely on actual events.
13
Jack Ruby reportedly told Lawrence Schiller that he acted alone, and shot Oswald in order to spare John F. Kennedy's widow and family the pain of having to endure Oswald being tried for Kennedy's murder.
