GREETINGS: The show begins with the declaration of "war" by the Kremlin. Then to Kyiv, to Beijing, to Seoul, to Stalin in 1942, to Napoleon in 1807, to Mao in 1966 -- all instances when ideology failed.  To China sinking without a plan. To Central Africa and the Russian ambition of building a railroad from Tripoli to the Central Africa Republic. To the UK re income inequality and bad outcomes for nations. To California and the cougar attack in El Dorado County. To Occitanie France and Spring splendor. To Boca Chica overun with tourists.  And to the surface of the moon with Odie, the IM probe lander that broke a leg on landing and tipped over.

LEE OSWALD'S DISTURBING MOTHER MARGURITE. 6/8: The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee by  Paul R. Gregory  (Author)



https://www.amazon.com/Oswalds-Untold-Account-Marina-Lee/dp/1635768217



Merely two hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, television cameras captured police escorting a suspect into Dallas police headquarters. Meanwhile at the University of Oklahoma, watching the coverage in the student center, Paul Gregory scanned the figure in dark trousers and a white, V-neck tee shirt and saw the bruised and battered face of Lee Harvey Oswald. Shocked, Gregory said, “I know that man.” In fact, he knew Oswald and his wife Marina better than almost anyone in America.





After sixty years, Paul Gregory finally tells everything he knows about the Oswalds and how he watched the soul of a killer take shape.

Identified by the FBI as a “known associate of LHO,” Gregory soon faced interrogations by the Secret Service. Later he would testify before the Warren Commission. Here, in The Oswalds, he offers the intimate details of his time spent with Lee and wife Marina in their run-down duplex on Mercedes Street in Fort Worth, Texas, and his admission into the inner world of a young marriage before candidly assessing the murder that marked a turning point in our country’s history. His riveting recollection includes memories both casual and deadly serious, such as the dinner at his parents’ house introducing Marina to the “Dallas Russians,” a front-yard incident of spousal abuse, and a further rift in the marriage when he exposed to Marina that Oswald was not the dashing, radical intellectual whose Historic Diary would be a publishing sensation. And Gregory also gives a fascinating account of his father’s role as an eyewitness to history, serving as Marina’s translator and confidante in the first four days after the assassination.

As a scholar and skilled researcher, Gregory debunks the vast array of assassination conspiracy theories by demonstrating that Lee Harvey Oswald did it and did it alone—that the Oswald he once called a friend had the motive, the intelligence, and the means to commit one of the most shocking crimes in American history.
