Any of the work I do… I want Bobby Fischer given credit for it. He did not have a single true friend while he was living, to speak to him about the historical facts of who and what the Bolsheviks were, and the driving forces behind the Zionist movement… these sleazy political powers, including their Nazi allies, WANTED, ENCOURAGED Bobby Fischer (my church brother) to say things which were slightly inaccurate details in history and current politics. They WANTED him to be in error — to bolster their own destructive, deceptive political movements. So, now, I'm setting the record straight. He was a good man — without a single sincere friend to act as a sounding board on History. He was not insane, but he was surrounded by people who encouraged and nurtured that impression for the public — out of their own agenda to peddle racist, Apartheid political corruption. (Few were the voices of a true friends, who insisted otherwise than the lies belched out by Hollywood and its media outlets). You can bet they were raking in money from it too. Israel pays handsomely for propaganda.

The biggest inaccuracy of all, for starters!

Neturei Karta International … and how I wish somebody would have explained all this to Bobby Fischer!!! He would've used caution not to say “Jew” when he meant “Zionist”. MOST Zionists, are Christian Fundamentalists!!!

Mostly… Bobby Fischer was Historically CORRECT.

“The Israeli government continued to enforce severe and discriminatory restrictions on Palestinians’ human rights; restrict the movement of people and goods into and out of the Gaza Strip; and facilitate the unlawful transfer of Israeli citizens to settlements in the occupied West Bank.”

Bobby Fischer spoke up against #Apartheid in Israel: “The U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just...

'til the world understands why Robert J. Fischer criticised the U.S./British and Russian military industry imperial alliance and their own Israeli Apartheid. Sarah Wilkinson explains:

Bobby Fischer, First Amendment, Freedom of Speech
What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy.
To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”. I think Mr. Fischer held out and fought the good fight, steadfast til the day he died, and may he Rest In Peace.
Educate yourself about U.S./State Laws --

After which the troll posted a string of profanities, confirming there was never any genuine sentiment of “compassion” for Mr. Fischer, rather an intent to inflict further defamatory remarks.

This ongoing work is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Robert “Bobby” Fischer who passionately loved and studied chess history. May his life continue to inspire many other future generations of chess enthusiasts and kibitzers, alike.

Robert J. Fischer, Kid Chess Wizard 1956March 9, 1943 - January 17, 2008

The photograph of Bobby Fischer (above) from the March 02, 1956 The Tampa Times was discovered by Sharon Mooney (Bobby Fischer Newspaper Archive editor) on February 01, 2018 while gathering research materials for this ongoing newspaper archive project. Along with lost games now being translated into Algebraic notation and extractions from over two centuries of newspapers, it is but one of the many lost treasures to be found in the pages of old newspapers since our social media presence was first established November 11, 2017.
