Poor wife and kids! Omg. The abuse. I'm sure that Russia trip was beyond miserable.

There are better sources if you want to learn more about Oswald. Just look on Amazon. There are some good books. I lost all respect I had for Dr. Grande because of this piece. The research he did on Oswald is pretty much a hack job compared to whole books written on him.

@@danscruz7353 did he say something wrong? I don't think he can say everything. Do you mean things like he wasn't the killer? Im really not sure if that's true. Dr Grande could check that.

@@danscruz7353 This wasn't supposed to be exhaustive-it is intended to be an analysis of his personality. It is an excellent review.

Neither had I. Dr Grandes research is always impeccable

Same with pets. You can't be surprised when a dog you mistreated bites you.

I agree

Sure you can, it happens all of the time.

@Lesley Leith I'll bet! Her death was such a shock!

And after the equally dubious 9/11 incident, as well as the Wuhan damn panic, the government (in California, anyway) loves to shut everything down. After 9/11, SFO shut down completely for 3 days. I had never heard the world so silent. (we live under the flightpaths) My mom was a cynic and she felt everything from the establishment of the United Nations on up was simply the elites in San Francisco, NY, etc. who were always tricking us. She was "involved". (meaning she was in the Peace Movement). My dad was naive and believed whatever the official story was, but my mom...nope. When I told her that I thought 9/11 was a scam when she was in the nursing home she died in, she rolled her eyes. She reminded me that before Oswald was shot, she had told another stay-at-home mom "they're gonna kill that guy before he gets to trial...."

She crippled him in his childhood. He didn't have a chance in life. Cluster B mother's raise ANTISOCIAL (criminal) PD sons (daughters grow up to be just like Mommy!)

Unfortunately that's the way it was back then my grand mother went through the same thing. My grandmother was a very difficult person to get along with once they put her in a home at 87 they figured out what was wrong with her which is sad that it took so long maybe that's what's going on with her

lady mopar Yes my supposed to actually my grandmother was a bully to me but my mother still in denial if a person is an asshole just say it

@@nancyayers6355 But what about growing up in the bowels in the American lower middle class? What do we really know about what the school system did to him. As a poverty survivor, I know a lot about that issue.

It's all very sad. My Mother was a lot like her. She was a malignant narcissist that was paranoid and believed she had ESP.

Was that a joke?

@Tom Mortley I know ! Lmao

Dr. Grande's snarky comments strike again hahaha!! 😂

Lol

That was funny!! She possibly could have saved the president! Even if he didn't act alone, lol.

I remember the five factor model by the acronym OCEAN

Jack Mack Haha. Exactly. Who says rote learning is not effective?

@@MasterMalrubius Openess, Conscientious, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism, I always look forward to Dr Grande saying this whole phrase 😊

EXCELLENT request!!!!!!!!!

During that 8 hours, or perhaps during the remaining 8 hours, could you also cover what “personality” is? It’s such an abstract undefined concept to me.

Great comment.👌🏼

Nah, I recognize and appreciate it greatly

The "multiple gunman" theory has been debunked to death, has been for several years now. An extremely excellent introduction to the reasons why Oswald only could have acted alone can be found in Gerald Posner's excellent book "Case Closed". As an additional bonus, this book is also one of the best true crime books I've ever read!

@@MateDrinker33 thats why the CIA and FBI kept valuable information hidden from the Warren Commission and also faked some of the documents. To this day a significant amount of the files are still kept secret. Facts. Also around this time they invented the term "conspriacy theory" as a way to discredit all doubt that envolves the government, the secret service, CIA, FBI etc. So once you question the main narrative, you are a conspiracy theorist and we all know how powerful this term is. You can be the most rational person on this planet, but if someone sticks this to you, you lose your credibility in the public eye. This makes you think why they try so hard to deflect. Maybe because they are actually involved in many things they shouldnt be.

@@FatManJackson Ok, so are you saying Oswald was part of a conspiracy? If so, list the evidence (meaning tangible evidence, not just a narrative...).

I enjoy Dr. Grande's quips as well. Sometimes we get a glimpse of the man behind the Doctor. I like him.

I had to move several times in my childhood, nothing sinister just the work of one of my parents. I did not like it and I think it was to my disatvantage. People growing up in a community often (not always!) do not like to welcome strange people who grew up somewhere else. That can be a hard experience for a small child.

I chuckled as well. Having a narcissist for a single parent is much worse than moving a lot.

@@KimChi-iy7jd I had to move a number of times, & admit it can be tough. It also has advantages to it too. You get insight, & learn about how different people live, what other places look like. How to get along with changes. If you only move a few times, I think it's a benefit. It's it's too much you can't make long term friends, interrupting school work etc. So basically pros, & cons, it also depends if your home life is otherwise stable, & if the child already has mental, or other issues.

@@laserbrain7774 Well, one can have narcistic parents AND had to have to move a lot in childhood, what is to be done then? 😉

🐕👨‍🎓🚲

I never knew that is all it took to be normal.

Simple-minded woman who had a significant impute in Oswald's tragic life.

I wonder if you have to ride the bike too....

My bicycle was stolen when I was 15. That was 41 years ago. No wonder I felt like I didn't have a normal childhood. 🤣

Read Vincent Bugliosi's RECLAIMING HISTORY.

True.

If there was 1 thing that Monroe, Oswald and Ruby had in common it was that they spent a lot of their respective childhoods in and out of foster homes.

kavita deva Yes! That would be fascinating. The movie seemed to point to the mother as being a factor in her daughter's illness. Wondering if Dr. Grande would agree or not.

@Avalanche hi. Thanks for your insightful reply. I hope your nephew continues to receive the attention and involvement he deserves. Have a good day.

i know and work with someone who admitted she had loving parents and a good childhood..... she went off the rails. Currently rehabbed. i, however, was born into what was already a toxic relationship between my parents which led to many upheavals, moving constantly (i still maintained stellar grades no matter what school i landed in for however long), their break-ups and make-ups,physical and emotional abuse, an older sister with a Lord of the Flies mentality, rallying her favorite siblings to gang up on non-favorite siblings, planned to run away, hated my dad to the point i contemplated some way of getting rid of him... but i didn't go off the rails. i just always knew that was THEIR life, not mine. I still went to work and school, married, had three children whom i adore. two of whom are in their 20's and one in her mid-teens. i do feel resentful when it's said that people who commit crimes like this are likely from a troubled childhood yet there are examples of people who commit crimes who never went through a rough childhood

@@comfym3850 and there's people like you who had a very troubled family who did wonderful for themselves. So why do you feel resentful if people who commit crimes usually come from a very abusive background? And I'm sure that there's people that come from a very good family and they commit crimes. And like you I'm sure there's people that come from very crappy family with bad Dynamics and do very well for themselves. I kind of wonder why you left a message. In other words I don't know what you're trying to make a point about. All things can happen in many different ways. But usually if a person comes from a lot of trauma and a lot of abuse they are going to have to deal with that trauma and that abuse if it's done to them directly. I am not saying that everyone becomes a criminal. Anyways just a little bit confused about why you were writing your reply and I'm glad you're doing well that's awesome.

Often the ones that fail and do horrible things also inherit the worst combination of traits from their feckless parent .

Ohhh I would love to hear this as well! Especially regarding her mother and if that was the "norm" for back then. Meaning that time era. Was it typical for mothers to justify their son's behavior yet be so critical, cold and unloving towards their daughter? Karen's story was so sad and I was born in 1988, BUT I still listen to her music and I still (admittedly) will get teary eyed because she just had one of those voices that were so rare, so moving and so beautiful. Kinda like Whitney Houston's voice. Anyway, great suggestion!

@@mamabear-9.18.18 "Was it typical for mothers to justify their son's behavior yet be so critical, cold and unloving towards their daughter?" Sadly, I think this attitude was and perhaps still is quite common, possibly because of internalised misogyny. BTW, I love Karen's voice too.

@@Nariel7 ... I'm so glad that you agreed with me because I come from an "old school" Italian/Sicilian family, my Ma was the 1st born in USA; both grandparents came from Palermo, Sicily. Anyway, my Ma and my uncle (her younger brother) have a 10 years age difference and my Ma was always treated at arms length compared to my uncle who was treated like the umbilical cord was still attached. My younger brother and I have 4 years difference and he's 30 years old as of now and guess what? He lives rent free with my Ma, who pays for food, his car insurance, cellphone bill, and household bills plus my brother has no idea how to even do laundry; never learned had no desire to learn and Ma never "wanted to bother him when she'll just do it". Meanwhile, I can't even count how many times I spent running away from my family home and my Ma was never really loving towards me. Both my brother and I are recovering addicts; although my Ma allows him to smoke weed in the house and she even drinks every night with him. I personally don't feel like that's 100% clean & sober, maybe that's just me personally, because I only smoke cigarettes and I live with my fiancé/biological father of our 4 years old daughter. Both my younger brother and I have been inpatient drug rehab and psychiatric hospitals when younger. Difference is that I would ask my Ma if she loves me at all? She would proceed to leave and yell at me that "she's tired of trying and wasting her time trying to convince me of such a stupid thing to ask!".... Never answering my question, at least I didn't feel answered I felt more conflicted and guilty for even saying anything. I'm a Ma myself to the best thing that I've ever done in my life, having my own daughter. I've made it my mission, with help from the only supportive man in my entire life - my fiancé - to have this odd generational cycle of dislike and coldness towards daughters & emotional, psychological, physical, verbal, mental ab*se to end with myself and never allow it to touch our daughter's life. Would you believe that my Ma has started fights with me because I "make" her "feel like a bad mother because I'm so dedicated, mutually respectful and loving" towards my daughter? Unbelievable. I'm also still struggling with my relationship regarding food and have been diagnosed with an ED when I was younger but I started noticing a couple years ago, when our daughter was a toddler and in the copying mommy stage, I I didn't eat, she barely would eat. My fiancé helps reassuring me that weight gain is not an issue, not fully understanding that I've had all my "problems" since I was 12 years old and they're all dysfunctional coping mechanisms I have applied and ingrained into my ways of handling things. I started changing immediately because I don't want our daughter, who's possibly predisposed towards certain behaviors due to genetics anyway, to copy my dysfunctional ways, it's not fair for her, you know what I mean? Anyway, I'm so sorry for my long rant response and I thank you for your reply because I completely agree with you and sadly I hope things change for the sake of the future.

@@mamabear-9.18.18 I'm sorry about your experiences, difficult mother/daughter relationships are the norm in my family too, including my mom and myself, and I have also struggled with EDs, so I understand where you're coming from. I don't have children, but I'm glad that you are breaking the cycle of bad parenting, it surely takes courage and dedication. All the best to you and I hope that thing will change as well.

KZfaq algo can read your mind bro, for real it happens to me all the time

The Warren Commission was an incompetent investigation.

I will never forget that day. I was in the sixth grade. I sat and watched the funeral march for a day. Haunting. It was dark a foggy where I lived like the whole world was in mourning.

Why?

"Why?": I think the point was may God forgive him for shooting Kennedy.

His mother...what utter damage has she done on her son.

Yes, synchronicity ! :)

Common names and not unusual.

Yes John and Robert, I was thinking that, and the two of them were shot, Bobby a few years after John F. They were common names though. Oswald's mother sounds really awful.

The irony. Anyone who thinks the JFK assassination is "clear" is full of nonsense.

Nope. The evidence is there.@@DannyBoy777777

@@DannyBoy777777 Wrong. The Warren Commission, which I highly doubt you have read, got it correct

@@gunnytam-ui2db The only major mistake the Warren Commision made was that they got the order of the shots wrong. They had the second shot, then the first, then the third. This mistake actually made it much harder for Oswald to shoot JFK. It was definitely not what you would expect if they were trying to frame Oswald and cover up what really happened. Rational consideration of the facts leads to only one possible conclusion, that Oswald did it alone.

@@joevignolor4u949 The HSCA got the sequence of shots correct, and was in total agreement with the WC on the substantive points.

I totally agree, Galatea!!! I watch Dr. Grande and a channel about art!

Did he reveal any other information about him?

That's actually not abnormal at all; in contrast to the other four branches, a unique feature of serving in the Marine Corps is that EVERYONE is required to be certified on rifle marksmanship. If you cannot pass marksmanship in the USMC, you will not be allowed to get past Basic.

Did he get high marks for be able to make bullets do 180 degree turns whilst in flight?

@@mollykeane2571 Dulles made sure LHO was the best at that

@catalyst_99 LHO had a high security clearance. He may have shot himself, but returned able to speak Russian. How does that work?

Yeah, JFK had it all - young, rich, good-looking, a brilliant mind - what else did he need!? People relate to such charismatic winners, so when he was shot and killed in the street like a stray dog, it turned into one of the biggest scandals EVER!! People were looking to lay blame, and for years after it actually happened, DALLAS itself was even blamed, as in, "Well, I know that never would have happened in Podunk City! Never in MY town!"

Oswald did not kill JFK; he was just a patsy.

Very good recitation of the accusers story. You report this a fact, yet LHO was never convicted of any of this, or that he was a killer. She said he worked for the FBI. He did travel a lot, for a poor guy.

Read a book. He was an intelligence agent.

Oswald was never an intelligence agent.

yeah I too. His mother was terrible. she was disgusting and very sick. most normal boys would be destined to a life full of misery with such a mother especially since he never had a real father, a caring father. But him being so violent, at young age, shivers me. his deterioration developed faster and faster. Still, he was not a Ted Bundy. He cared for his children. But showed no remorse at all for his killing spree. jack Ruby denied him and us a proper law process. yes, Lee was doomed.

Yes. There used to be some.

Most of Oswald's younger years is not accurate. School records were changed or omitted. Some has him attending two different schools ate the same time! His Mother has been recorded being 5'4" while others 5'9", black hair vs brown hair.

Omg... How many jokes is Dr. Grande going to sneak in there?! Lol

Ruby was a piece of work. It's possible that sexual repression played a part in this, since several lifestyle clues suggest that Ruby may have been gay, which sadly was nowhere near as widely accepted in 1963 as it is today.

Possibly significant that he suffered from epilepsy

@@jonathangriffiths2499 what are your thoughts on how that is significant?

I was taught in school that Jack "Ruby" Rubenstein was so distraught over the killing of the President that he shot the killer. I didn't buy it then, and was sent to the back of my classroom for questioning my history teacher for it. I was 14, inquisitive, and wasn't born when JFK was assassinated. My oldest brother was 7. He didn't remember much about it. The only thing my mother and father would say was that they felt the world was ending. My father had a copy of the Warren Commission. I have that copy now.

He was ordered to by the mob

His “historic diary” is a testament to his narcissism. It might appear ordinary and dull to most people, but it’s special and important to him.

Sorta reminds me of a grade school classmate who made ridiculous excuses for not doing his homework. He once pit a pencil in his eye so he could go home when he didn't have his math homework to turn in. He died in his early 30s. Last I heard about him was getting arrested for false reporting he was kidnapped by 4 men driving a Shelby Cobra. Yes, he was a Gi Joe fan growing up.

Absolutely! It came from the grassy knoll just as the witnesses said. And the doctors at Parkland said the bullet entered from the front right temple & exited from the right occipital area.

I was in high school in Texas when someone came in the class room and said " President Kennedy has been shot in Dallas !" It was Horrible !! Most people that I have known believe Jack Ruby hired Olward( and others maybe) to do the assassination of JFK and Ruby shut his mouth.???

@@patsysmothermon7861 What was Ruby's motivation to have the president killed??

@@patriciacullen7328 Ruby had worked for LBJ in the past. Ruby claimed he was framed too. Lol

@@daphneduryea9136 Not true.

Good thing they didn't have Facebook back then!

His wife was young and attractive. She remarried and started a new life.

He actually has two daughters. The older one who was born in Russia in February 1962 and was 21 months old (almost 2 years old) when Oswald died is named June and the younger one who was 1 month old when he died is named Rachel. His daughters are living regular lives. His wife Marina was 22 when Oswald died in 1963. She remarried in 1965. Her second husband’s name is Kenneth Porter. She had a son named Mark with her second husband in 1966. She’s still alive, still married to her second husband and is in her late 70’s.

In an article interviewing one of Oswald's daughters, she said the family photos of Lee were confiscated and not returned. Their mother remarried and continued to live in the same area (knowing Oswald's childhood, maybe I can see her reasoning). She told them about their birth father's existence and crime when they were in grade school. The daughters grew up harassed by the community, mostly by adults and parents but seemed to be accepted by their peers. The one seemed to do well in school and worked modestly as a waitress then nurse.

H owalds ie re.arried

13 O'clock Podcast did a great video on Charles Whitman which I would recommend. From that era..13 O'clock also did a podcast on Richard Speck, the psycho who killed those nurses in Chicago. They do a lot of good stuff.

To create a conspiracy theory surrounding the assassination. He certainly succeeded.

Swift confession would mean swift execution. He wanted to spin this out via a trial he could bask in. He only said his "patsy" zinger in relation to being hassled by The Man for having lived in Russia, not because he was being set up by a coup for overthrowing the government.

There was also a third gunshot victim in this attack as well; the then-serving Governor of Texas John Connolly was also severely injured (due to sitting near JFK in the vehicle at the same time and getting struck by same bullets after they passed through JFK's body), but unlike with the president, the ER at Parkland Hospital was able to successfully stabilize his condition and he went on to survive the attack.

That secretary that said she had sex with him? What a loser

Nelson Delgado, look at Nelson's score vs Oswald's score and you'll see they were almost the same yet Nelson claimed his score won him a prize...................Nelson was full of it.

The display at the 6th floor window is very accurate. Oswald's not in it.

"The display at the 6th floor window is very accurate. Oswald's not in it.": Well, that's cause Oswald was dead. Duh.

Why would he do one on Richard Jewell? He discovered bombs left by Eric Rudolph, alerted authorities and helped clear the immediate area, possibly saving many lives. Then was falsely accused and his name was run through the mud by the media for no good reason. Leave the man alone.

Totally agree. I was a conspiracy buff from 1986 to 2016. Then I read my first anti-conspiracy book...Posner’s book. That book changed my mind almost completely. But Bugliosi’s book was next and it destroyed any lingering doubts. It is the grandaddy of the conspiracy debunking books for all time. What a mammoth effort. Stunning. I recommend it to everyone because the most hardened conspiracy buff will be blown away if they were brave enough and diligent enough to tackle this monster book

It's a mystery indeed.

Criminally underviwed because there is so much misinformation in the video

@@RKO1988 not shit

Yes. Once you know more about Oswald's upbringing, his mental deficiency, and the fact he was once a sharp shooter in the Marines, it makes him more likely to be the soul gunman. All of my life, I was told about the conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination, but once you scratch the surface, you'll see the Warren Report was right.

He's guilty of whatever crimes the CIA ordered him to commit, but one of them was NOT assassinating JFK.

Read a book.

Keep glowing.

I agree. Did it alone.

I can't get past wound in the back of the head, which is so characteristic of an exit wound.

Precisely.

Yeah, my Christian great-grandmother was very vocal in her hatred of O'Hair!! She already disliked her, but her success in barring any mention or act that could carry a religious connotation just sent her into orbit!!! She also hating cursing. Up until O'Hair got prayer removed from public schools, the worst thing I ever heard her say was, "son of a gun!" about another driver who pulled his car in front of her - but ... I found out that she DID know how to cuss, thanks to Ms. O'Hair!!

That makes sense, because this Dr. is so tilted off balance, about all the facts.
