Dr. Grande’s True Crime Psychology and Personality podcast: www.arslonga.media
The saddest part isn't that everyone knows his name for all eternity, and that would make him smile even while burning in hell. The worst part is that he's managed to convince half the world's population or more that he was innocent, a patsy, a victim or a political martyr.
You can’t treat children like baggage or animals/pets that are there for your pleasure, and can be ignored when you’re too busy to attend to them, and then be surprised when they grow up to be damaged.
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.
interesting. I never heard so much about him.
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
Great video! I remember when JFK was assassinated. It was positively eerie being outside the day after it happened - it was like the apocalypse had happened. The streets were completely deserted and the newspaper headline was in huge red block letters. I've never really heard an assessment of Oswald's personality, and this one really rocked!
@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...."
His narcissistic mother refused treatment because, for one reason, she didn't want her behavior to be revealed. This woman makes me cringe.
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.
Of note. Lee Harvey was separated from his mother for 13 months at age 3.
"she said Oswald was normal because he had a dog, schoolteachers liked him, and he had a bicycle." LOL 😂
🐕👨🎓🚲
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. 🤣
"foreiting Good Maternal Judgement magazines award of the year" LOL
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.
If you can find a book by Jean Stafford called "A Mother in History" you can get an idea of the strange personality of Marquerite Oswald. It must have been a real horror story being raised by this woman.
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.
Fascinating 👍
I never realised just how ‘nuts’ Oswald was. Every red flag in his background.
Dr. Grande. You speak a lot of the Five Factor model in determining personality.
Can you make a video on how this came about and how psychologists use tools to determine underlying issues? I'd like to see more under the covers videos along with the dive into individual's make-up.
Basically, can you work another 8 hours a day?
Thanks!
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.
He did a lot of living in 24 years.
In 1965 my husband's name was Leigh Harvey. My name is Marina, my daughter's teacher was named Oswald, it was a really weird year.
It's weird, before I went to bed I thought about Oswald for some reason, then when I woke up saw this video. Great analysis, as always.
TH-cam algo can read your mind bro, for real it happens to me all the time
I don't think most people recognize and appreciate the amount of time and energy that you put into your analyses. It is greatly appreciated. Whether Oswald was a "lone gunman" will always be a question. Your forensic analysis of the Zapruder film would be interesting. The amount of psychopathology in the world appears to be endless. Thank you so much. Be well.
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 can see how Dr. Grande moderates his analysis of difficult egregious topics by his incessant sprinkling of numerous and humorous jokes and stories, I guess to be able to handle his assessment mood. 😀😂😀. I liked the one about the “Good Maternal Judgments Person of the year Award” - And was almost gullible to look it. Up..😅. I wonder if Dr. Grande had that Friday afternoon counsellor experience where his beach plans were interrupted ...and recollected the dog, bicycle, teachers loved him....
😄🌹Thanks again Dr. Grande, I loved your 4 points. Unfortunately I grew up 21 years in the same place, not moving 21 times...😍😍😍
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’m so glad you did this one. I’ve been fascinated with the story for years. Thank you!
Read Vincent Bugliosi's RECLAIMING HISTORY.
I am a psych nurse and just came across your channel. Enjoy the content. Thanks for posting these interesting subjects. Dr Grande.
Interesting to hear you talking about so many background information from Oswald. I didn't know that.
Hope you're having a good weekend, Dr. Grande 😃🇳🇱
Wow, Dr. Grande! Your research on LHO and his wretched lack of a solid home life is startling. I was in junior high when this happened. To me and my world, everything changed and not for the better. The solid goodness I had known disappeared. Thank you for your assessment!
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.
Here's something erie. My grandpa served in the Armed Services with lee harvey Oswald in japan. He told me that he did get high marks for marksmanship
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?
Hi. Enjoy your discussions. Would you consider doing a talk about Karen Carpenter? Her story was so tragic. Thanks.
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.
Knowing this things about Lee Oswald I must say: poor man! May God forgive him and all of us!
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.
Thanks, Dr. Grande, for analyzing Oswald. I certainly learned some things I didn't know--very interesting!
“Mother of the year award” comment still got me rolling days later 🤣
Interesting that LHO's brothers were names of the Kennedy brothers who were killed.
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 way you put out content is amazing, a solid work ethic.
Thank you Dr. Grande. To all, I visited the national archives on-line, and if you read the files collected by the Warren Commission on Lee Oswald you'd be amazed about his life. I find a lot of fault with his mother when Lee was a boy.
The Warren Commission was an incompetent investigation.
Mental care wasn't the same in the 50's than it is today. Even in the 80's it was very different than today.
Yes. There used to be some.
Respectfully, nothing would change today

I have read one particular thing that Dr Grande did not mention about Oswald, and that is that Oswald was dyslexic. Though Oswald was said to be above average in intelligence, as is common enough among dyslexics, it was undiagnosed and maybe not so much a known phenomenon when Oswald was in grade school and beyond. This disability most likely further contributed to his frustrations with life, his environment, and his very self.
"Sounds normal to me...let's get out of here" excellent 😄
And off to the beach club it is! 😀
Dang!! These videos over the past week are really fascinating. Not that the others aren't, but holy moly! I'm going to have to binge this weekend!
This was so interesting....I don’t think Oswald stood a chance of stability given his upbringing.
Such a sad day in history....
Thank you Dr. Grande!💕
I dont know how you do it, but you do. Absolutely illuminating presentation! 90% of this I didnt know, and as always you keep things concise and fascinating. Kids would love school with a professor like you! Thanks again my man!
A very disturbing & sad guy. Why did he deny killing Tippit & Kennedy after his arrest?
Dr. Grande, thank you for covering Mr. Oswald. I found your coverage clear, enlightening and very sad. How one individual grows up and careens through life seemingly without guidance, without self reflection and with one action changes the course of history while inflicting pain on our nation's psyche for generations. As you stated that the Warren Commission wondered what made Oswald into the murderer he became highlighted for me by the many individuals you've covered that mental health services hasn't made a lot of progress over the years in our communities despite better knowledge.
Very abusive childhood. Once again children raised with trauma can go off the rails. I am not making a blanket statement. There are plenty of children, I am one of them, who has been raised with an extreme amount of childhood trauma. But if there is a predisposition it always seems that these people have had very neglectful and abusive childhood's. And of course being raised by a narcissist is never a good thing. This guy was extremely interesting to learn more about. Very complex dude. Thank you for another great analysis.
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 .
Fantastic video there. Seeing JFK on that day, in Dallas, is always devastating to watch. It's still so raw, yet happened that long back.☘🇮🇪🧚♂️
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.
Thank you Dr Grande for being the hardest working Doctor in town!!
Love your videos...you package everything so neatly making it easy for us viewers to process and absorb the information.
You have become the 'Cole's Notes' of true crime and mental health analysis!!
Sending you hugs from Vancouver, BC ❤️
Have a wonderful weekend!
Spending a whole day going down the Dr. Grande TH-cam rabbit hole!!!
Thank you for your amazing content Dr. 😊
You are one of the only two channels I can legitimately call part of my studying plan! You are purely factual, well informed and the touch of dry humour is a plus. Thank you for making my day’s worth of studying a little more enjoyable!
I totally agree, Galatea!!! I watch Dr. Grande and a channel about art!
What is it about people with no self-esteem latching onto drastically different political ideologies? Maybe they are looking for more responsible adults than their parents.
This provides so much context. Most people simply think of him as a horrible presidential assassin or just a patsy, but they never stop to take this perspective. This is a highly insightful video.
After that maternal rejection at the age of three, is it any wonder how he ended up? How sad.
Hello Dr. Grande, .. I think it's great how you show suitable photos of the people, buildings etc. in between. Nice work. You humor often rounds it off very appealingly. Your videos are never too long, too cumbersome, etc. And thanks to the recurring structures, it is very pleasant to listen to them. Thank you very much for your effort!
Makes me wonder how much of Oswald’s mental illness was due to poor parenting and how much was due to genetics. Either way, his life was doomed from the beginning. Kinda feel sorry for him.
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.
his mother was one for the books, she would sell her autograph and when she needed money would seek out interviews
Thank you for not promoting conspiracy nonsense. Oswald was clearly a lone assassin.
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.
To inspect LHO's mental health and personality issues with detailed history is fascinating. I did not know that information about his parents. Thank you for another excellent video, Dr. Grande!
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.
@@gerry8653 Interesting!
@@gerry8653 go watch the documentary called The two Oswald's and you will get your answers😉
Read a book.
Learned a lot more on this...thankyou DR GRANDE for this content
Really interesting. Thank you for your hard work.
I've actually listened to a couple podcasts about this before. Fascinating.
Oswald was fired from three jobs in the 12 months before the assassination. He never had more than about $5 in his pocket and little savings. He ALWAYS took the bus because it was cheap. That’s why it was unusual taking a taxi home after shooting JFK when the buses were jammed with traffic on the main routes. He would never have taken a taxi unless the situation was dire and he needed to escape. The $170 he left with his wife the morning of the assassination was his life savings. Who leaves their wedding ring? He wanted to get back with Marina, but was pushed away in bed with her the night before the assassination. Leaving the ring was also a way to show her he was pissed off at her and had little left to live for in his current life
This was a good one..bring in the weekend right!! Never knew any of that..always learn something from ya..your the only patron I subscribe to;)
Insufficient postage changed everything.
His regular physical abuse of Marina is under appreciated. He caused one incident of Marina attempting suicide because of his abuse.. Also is the attempted assassination of Walker. Violent tendencies. He wrote a detailed letter to Marina about steps to take “if I’m captured” by police due to Walker attempt. His preoccupation with Walker is important. He also wrote his “historic diary” about himself and his life in USSR and after. Who writes a ‘historic’ diary?. It was pretty ordinary and dull. He left his life savings and wedding ring with Marina the morning of the assassination. That’s guilty behaviour. Marina admitted to taking the backyard photos of Oswald. His brother Robert was sure that Lee shot Kennedy knowing Lee’s personality and history
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.
This video was very educational and informative. Thanks for all your hard work on this analysis! Your channel is the PBS of You Tube--quality programming👏
Please do an analysis of Anthony Weiner.
Oh YEAH!
😆
Omg... How many jokes is Dr. Grande going to sneak in there?! Lol
You bring up points that no one else does in your analysis.
Great video Dr Grande ❤️❤️ love your work
Same thing the guidance counselor in HS said to me: "You're not one for thinking things through, are you??"
Could you do one on Jack Ruby, and what his motivations for killing LHO may have been?
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
Well, I’ve got a dog, so just need to go out and get a bicycle!
I have no dog or bicycle - Yikes. I'm on the "Highway to Hell".
@@Ron4885 you better turn yourself in right away! 😀
I have a cat and a scooter. Will that do?
"Did you say he has a bike AND a dog? Sounds good to me- let's get out of here." Dr. Grande dropping snark gems, again!
I didn't see it coming and now I'm in tears of laughter. Well played Dr. G.
@@jmartin2778 it's a G thing, babe! 😀
Thank you. I don’t think many of us, actually knew who this man really was. It was quick and a lot was hidden and remains hidden to this day.
But if Oswald wanted people to know what he'd done, why didn't he admit he'd killed Kennedy and say instead he was a patsy?
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.
I never knew that Oswald had such a sad and fractured childhood. I sure wish he had gotten help way back when. He finally did succeed at something and we sure do know his name. May President Kennedy and the Dallas police officer rest in peace.
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.
I enjoy and appreciate your sense of humor so much
Great video Dr Grande
So much I did not know about him. Thank-you for going in such detai with photosl. I visited where he shot the President,while in Texas. He certainly had a bad childhood. The humour makes me smile everytime. You are great❤️🇨🇦
Marguerite "believed in any conspiracy that was mentioned to her..." :D Wow.
Good thing they didn't have Facebook back then!
Really like your new photo inserts. It really adds a lot to your videos!
Hi Dr. Grande, i love your content, you have recently become my favourite channel. It would be excellent if you could create a video discussing the use of "GID" electro-shock devices such as those used at the "Judge Rotenburg centre" and go over the usage/effectiveness of such devices, if any. Maybe even touch on the history of electrical therapy and give your opinion on it.. A video on lobotomy would be very interesting too. Thanks again and keep up the amazing work.
Holy cow, his life was screwed up!
I like that you give the facts here rather than focusing on conspiracy theories.
Another great video! ! Cheers from Australia!
Your comments always make me smile. I have actually been to the book depository and when you stand where Oswald stood you realize just how much Kennedy was a sitting duck, it gave me the chills. Makes you wonder how in the world they planned a motorcade past this building without securing it first.
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.
Spot on observation of Oswald's life and behavior. I do not however agree that he murdered our President. I have a very strong passion for the Kennedys bordering on obsession. I was so happy today when I saw that you were doing an assessment on Oswald as I am just about to finish "The Death of a President" by William Manchester. I truly believe there was more than one shooter on that fateful day in November of '63. The head shot does not appear to have come from behind Kennedy. I'll stop here so as not to bore you.
Great job, Dr. Grande.
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.
I wonder what happened to his wife and daughter? Just a random question 🤔
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
Not forming parental attachments and beaten by someone in his Aunt's home at 3 years old, and then left in a childrens' home for 13 months. Lee would have been around 4-5 when his mother finally took him in. I can't see how they could possibly recognize each other or have any connection.
I wonder how much conflict Lee saw from Marguerite and Edwin too, her 3rd husband, as a child. A 9 year-old threatening his oldest brother with a knife is disturbing, but more so is her not reacting to it and choosing to minimize it when he does it again to his brother's wife.
It's mind boggling and frightening how people like Oswald's mother can exist. She repeatedly abandoned her child and dropped responsibilities of being a parent.
The abuse would be harder to note when the parent repeatedly moves around, but that alone should really be noticed.
I hope the system is different now, is improving, that parents are more closely questioned and followed after reports or after leaving their kids in care facilities. That the child's health evaluation and rights are more prioritized. That a parent can't as easily just say "nah my child doesnt need counseling" and move again after truancy hearings, and disturbing psych evaluations of parent and child.
Highlights the significance of a community to be accepting. A lonely angry child shouldn't be ignored or labeled. I always hated the word truant.
A very important story was lost behind all the conspiracies.
Thank you for all your hard work. It really is impressive
(I just discovered you speak so clearly, I can use the subtitle generator now without being distracted. ^^ A lot of information, complex people and dates to take in. This would be an interesting book to read. Sometimes I can't get close to the full message unless I have some quiet time to focus, so much to learn!)
These videos are sooo interesting 🙌🏻
Excellent peppering of subtle humour throughout this interesting video Dr G - “Good Maternal Judgments of the Year Award” and advice from a Friday afternoon counsellor who had plans to go to the beach for the weekend.... 🤣🤣🤣 dying! I really appreciate it because I worked in the operating theatre for many years, and we often relied on very similar humour to get through our often troubling day.
Oswalds troubled past and determination to assassinate someone throws doubt over all the conspiracy theories surrounding JFKs death - Oswalds troubling mindset and concerning past is never discussed, the theories are always what is promoted. People always think Oswald had just popped out of nowhere, I certainly did as I knew none of this info, but he didn’t obviously, people who commit these kinds of crimes never do and he had been displaying disturbing behaviour for years and obviously had a sad and troubled childhood. I don’t have much truck with conspiracy theories, bring the the proof to the table, don’t just talk about conspiracies like it is a done deal. I will listen to a conspiracy theory, but expect the other person to listen to the evidence too. Thanks for the vid, excellent as always.
Yes, there's a few pieces of further information out there like a statement made by one of the secretaries at the Cuban embassy during Oswalds application process. His behaviour corresponded with the behaviour you have mentioned and this was another instance of rejection in Oswalds life. Over all an interesting vid, I'd never heard of Oswalds upbringing or his "mother of the year". I wonder if the father buried in a day had life insurance at all?
That secretary that said she had sex with him? What a loser
Thank. This was SUPERLATIVE-I learned stuff I've never known about this tragic figure. I already beat you up about Hydroxycloraquine.. You're one of the best analysts on TH-cam.
Thank you Dr., you have a great channel I've learned so much from. I was wondering if you could do a profile of the "internet troll". Motivations and possible reasons why this condition exists and any possible connections to conditions pre-internet?
He has :)

I was always curious about Lee Harvey Oswald’s childhood, and the trials and tribulations he had endured as a youngster. Great job summarizing it. However as an adult, Oswald was bat-shit crazy, which ultimately led him down a path of no-return. Several decades later, one of Oswald’s brothers, related that Lee had said about “killing someone important so that he could become famous” (paraphrased).
Thanks for putting the video up.
As an aside did you do a video regarding Richard Jewell? If so, please enclose the link, if not please consider doing one. Thanks again.
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.
"This sounds like advice she obtained from a counselor who had plans to go to the beach that weekend--Did you say he had a dog and a bicycle, sounds good to me, let's get out of here!"
Highlighting the mental health and personality factors to this case certainly brings the principle of Occam’s Razor to the forefront, at least in this viewers mind - a straight line from Oswald’s sight to Kennedy’s demise. As always thank you for your analysis.
There is a bit of confusion surrounding Oswald's marksmanship skill level. I ran across a newspaper interview with Oswald's former CO in the Corps who said he had been astonished to learn that JFK's assassin was identified as LHO because as he recalled it Oswald couldn't have hit water from a boat.
He had a sharpshooter rating in the Marines.
?
"I ran across a newspaper interview with Oswald's former CO in the Corps who said he had been astonished to learn: Incredibly weak, dude
An excellent assessment oh Lee Harvey Oswald: a tortured soul who wanted to be loved.
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.
This is criminally under viewed. Before i clicked this video i was convinced Oswald was innocent, and that's with 20 plus years of interest. In 6th grade i was reading Kennedy assassination books. After listening to this 17 minutes i'm convinced he's guilty. Amazing video and even more amazing research!
Wtf? You spent 20 years analyzing something and it took a 20 minute video to dissuade you? What did you do for 20 years?
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.
you forgot to factor in MK Ultra and his Manchurian Candidacy to his psychological profile lol
No second shooter comments, man did it alone, end of story
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.
Dr. Grande on this video was on point and I feel like Oswald was a very sick person who need help.
Read a book.
This is a very interesting assessment. It would be great to hear one on James Earl Ray.
Speaking of Oswald, why not do an analysis of Ruby.
Quite the opportunist switching from General Walker to JFK, so many conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination and many a book written but when you outline the personality of LHO it seems likely he did it.
Hi Dr Grande. It would be great if you could do a series on the 5 personality factors. The pros and cons of scoring high or low on each one
It appears that your source for your information on Oswald was Gerald Posner's "Case Closed".
That makes sense, because this Dr. is so tilted off balance, about all the facts.
Please do a video about Josef Fritzl! The most haunting criminal case I can think of.
And disgusting...
The 3 Brothers, John, Robert & Lee and their families got together for Thanksgiving exactly 1 year before the assassination......Their Mother was not invited.........Marguerite was a real piece of work, it's said she was fired from a nanny job for drugging the baby to keep it from crying at night.
Great analysis. I am curious that you mentioned that Oswald wanted the world to know he was the one who did it. However, didn’t he deny doing it? How would you explain this contradiction? Was this playing the victim?
He denied in hopes of spinning his own fame out for the indefinite future. He knew he was guilty and that he would go down in history for it. He was just hoping to live long enough to enjoy it.
