JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: The first President of Belarus taught Oswald Russian in Minsk
« Last post by Lance Payette on Today at 01:13:12 PM »It occurred to me this morning that probably the best analogy for Oswald is the kid whom everyone agrees was pretty dull and harmless but who becomes radicalized within a fairly short period and commits some horrific act of Islamic terrorism that no one who knew him previously can quite believe. Yes, we can see the seeds of strangeness throughout Oswald's life, but it does seem that in 1963 he became increasingly radicalized in the direction of Cuba, either through self-radicalization or through association with others in New Orleans and/or Mexico City. A turn toward radicalism culminating in the JFKA strikes me as FAR more plausible than any scenario that has him as a KGB or CIA operative extending back to his defection or earlier. The general downward spiral of his life in 1963 would, of course, be an additional factor. Probably the psychological literature as to how young people can pretty quickly become radicalized would be a more fruitful place to look than the dark musings of people like Newman, Morley, et al.
