Try to focus. My post is about George deM.
Yes, I call him Oswald's sponsor. Murder or suicide it makes no difference, but why so many? Everyone has to die. What is odd ---In the U.S.the combined murder/suicide rate is roughly 20 per 100,000 people. On the list below many are NATURAL CAUSES but it's amazing how many were MURDERS then you still have the ones that had suspicious circumstances. I bet you think LHO murder these people, an unbelievable killer he was, right? Asterisks mark death that seemed to happen under suspicious circumstances.
