This at least gives me pause about the LN narrative

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Marina said that when Oswald had made other life-altering decisions - the return to the US from the USSR, the attempt on Walker, the attempted defection to Cuba in Mexico City - that he had carefully planned everything out. And that during that planning she saw him being very stressed, he would yell and strike her, and that he had these strange anxiety attacks in his sleep. It's odd for me that throughout her marriage she said Oswald would have paralyzing anxiety attacks in his sleep where he would he violently shake and sweat.



But before the assassination she saw none of these signs. No stressful behavior, no quick to anger, no nighttime panic attacks. That indicates to me that the decision was sudden, last second, not planned out. Although she really wasn't with him much those last 10-14 days or so to see any stressful behavior.

LP--

OK, operating within the confines of your original post....

LHO was not entirely sane, and his behavior erratic, spotty.

LHO may have thought he would survive the JFKA, and would write his memoirs either on the lam, or in prison.

LHO may have in fact written memoirs or manifesto, and handed same over to a G2'er, for release at the right time. The G2 never released it.

Oswald was legally sane even though he had toys in his attic.

I doubt Oswald thought he would survive. It would not surprise me if he was trying to commit suicide by cop when he drew his weapon in the theater. Oswald was nuts but that doesn't mean he was stupid. I think he expected to be convicted and sentenced to death. He couldn't have anticipate the US would have a de facto moratorium on executions a few years later or the SCOTUS would strike down existing death penalty statures in 1972.

Your third point is pure fantasy.

Marina?

Marina Oswald?

You mean the former KGB "swallow" in Leningrad whom true defector KGB Major Pyotr Deriabin wrote a day or two after the assassination had to be at the very least a low-level KGB informant to be allowed to marry her Handsome Prince Charming and leave The Worker's Paradise with him?

That Marina?
