Political Propaganda / Smear Campaign: These articles were part of politically-motivated smear campaign of Bobby Fischer, spanning 1960's till his death in 2008. Sources often cited 1962, Ralph Ginzburg (sued by Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater for defamation); Ronald Gross who claimed he ‘moved to New York’ to substantiate his sordid rumors about Fischer. (Search Chess Grand Master Isaac Kashdan's Los Angeles Times chess column which meticulously documents the 1950's-1970's residency of Ronald Gross as 'Compton, California'.) Ginzburg was such an unethical yellow journalist, that when asked by Frank Brady about the cassette tapes/audio of the interview, Ginzburg claimed he “burned” the documents. Likely story for an article that had no evidence to support it. Bobby Fischer sufficiently denied the context in which he was quoted, while the remainder of Ginzburg's fictitious political defamation was either out of context or simply made up to portray Fischer in the light the Soviet needed: “A Fascist”. After all, every person who denies the perfect Soviet system which can make no errors, must be a Fascist and a Nazi. Right? WRONG! Ginzburg smeared both Fischer and Goldwater because both men challenged Soviet Imperialism and its tyranny… antisemitic tyranny. Any journalist who cites Ginzburg as their primary source (who lost his case with Goldwater in the supreme court) has already lost all credibility and their academic background in both history and journalism should be questioned. This is clearly a Soviet payrolled smear campaign and should be regarded as rubbish. It's a reflection on the idiots who lack integrity, agreeing to spread falsehoods for a quick capitalist sell out of their soul.
