Thornley had served for a short time in the same radar operator unit as Lee Harvey Oswald in the spring of 1959 at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in Santa Ana, California.

Furthermore, Kerry came to believe that he’d been hypno-programmed as a substitute fall guy in the Kennedy assassination (in the event that the Oswald set-up went awry) and that E. Howard Hunt (in the guise of Brother-in-law) was one of Kerry’s “handlers.”
According to Thornley, one of the men accused by young Watson appears to be the person he [Thornley] knew in New Orleans in the early 1960s, under a different name.
In this regard, Kerry believed that Brother-in-law had commandeered his stolen typewriter for just such a purpose, which was to be used in conjunction with the notes Kerry had gathered in the New Orleans library for Kirstein’s “Hitler Was a Good Guy” book project to set Kerry up as an assassination fall guy.

 Historia Discordia meet Kerry Thornley, the second Oswald.(Critical Essay) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Thornley joined the Marines in 1959, where one of his buddies at the El Toro Marine Base was Lee Harvey Oswald, an openly communist "outfit eight ball" known to his fellow grunts as "Oswaldskovitch."
Thornley had decided that Garrison was right after all, that he was a CIA mind-control slave, that a mysterious pal in New Orleans was E. Howard Hunt, and finally that he had been a Manchurian candidate from birth, with his parents Nazi spies.
But Thornley still got in his prankish fun, for example putting up flyers urging people to "Boycott the illegal weapons amnesty program: Don't bring your illegal weapons to the Super Bowl in exchange for tickets!" when the game was held in Atlanta in 1994.

Thornley was about to leave with his unit for a tour of Japan; Oswald had just returned from such an overseas tour.

 PARANOIA - Book Review | The Prankster and the Conspiracy
Kerry freeranged about in the JFK/MLK/RFK assassination matrixes like a conspiratorial version of Diogenes, the ancient Greek who loved to mock the philosophers and statesmen of his day.
In this case, Thornley was mocking the real assassins at large without anyone really knowing it, since he was drawing so much attention to himself.

The next time I ran into Thornley was in Jonathan Vankin's Conspiracies, Cover-Ups, and Crimes, where a chapter in the book is devoted to him and his theories of mind-control, how he was the product of a Nazi eugenics experiment and a participant in the assassination of JFK.
Kerry began to believe that maybe he really was part of the conspiracy to kill JFK, a MK-ULTRA and Nazi breeding experiment, had implants transmitting radio to his brain, and that Bob Wilson was his CIA handler.
Kerry lived his last years, in the 90s, still kooky, but more mellow, living in a hip art neighborhood congenial to eccentrics, even undergoing a renaissance as an underground culture figurehead, his books put back into print by friends and admirers.
