Here's a concise timeline of important events relating to Lee Harvey Oswald, Kerry Thornley, Discordianism, Operation Mindfuck, and the JFK assassination:

1. October 18, 1939: Lee Harvey Oswald is born in New Orleans, Louisiana.

2. April 17, 1938: Kerry Thornley is born.

3. Late 1950s: While serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Kerry Thornley meets Lee Harvey Oswald.

4. 1961: Thornley moves to New Orleans. Later, he begins writing "The Idle Warriors," a novel based on his interactions with Oswald during their service in the Marines. It's noteworthy because it's written before Oswald becomes infamous.

5. 1962: Discordianism is founded. Principia Discordia, the main text of Discordianism, is written by Greg Hill (under the pseudonym Malaclypse the Younger) and Kerry Thornley (under the pseudonym Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst).

6. November 22, 1963: President John F. Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested as the main suspect.

7. November 24, 1963: Oswald is shot and killed by Jack Ruby while in police custody.

8. Late 1960s: Operation Mindfuck (OM) is initiated by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, in collaboration with other Discordians. It's a form of guerrilla ontology, using misinformation and pranks to challenge people's perceptions of reality.

9. 1970s: The conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination begin to gain traction. Thornley's prior association with Oswald and his book "The Idle Warriors" bring him under scrutiny. Some conspiracy theorists suggest Thornley may have been involved in the assassination or was part of a larger conspiracy.

10. Mid-1970s: Thornley claims that he was manipulated by intelligence operatives and began to believe he might have been unwittingly involved in the JFK assassination plot.

11. 1975: Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea publish "The Illuminatus! Trilogy," which includes references to Discordianism and Operation Mindfuck. It playfully weaves conspiracy theories, including ones about the JFK assassination, into a narrative that blurs fiction and reality.

12. November 28, 1998: Kerry Thornley passes away.

This timeline offers a brief overview of the connections between these figures and events. Each topic on its own has a more detailed history, and there's a significant overlap, especially when delving into conspiracy theories and the interplay between fiction and perceived reality.
