I met Jim Fetzer briefly in London in around 2002, and I tried to mediate between him and Josiah Thompson over at Rich DellaRosa's forum. Predictably, it was no use.
I too liked the first couple of his books on JFK, although I was critical of some of Jack White's work published in Murder In Dealey Plaza which I didn't think had had any scrutiny before it was published.
I still keep an eye on what he's doing, but he no longer convinces me although it's still interesting. I keep an open mind but almost all he does currently makes no sense to me.
I mean, take these mass shootings and the live TV shooting. This is supposedly organised by Obama to encourage gun control, to remove guns from the hands of the masses. I do have questions about the live shootings, such as the hand holding the gun looks white to me, and the wounds would surely have been visible - but even if they WERE staged shootings, I don't buy the false gun-control motive. It makes no sense to me that anyone would think that the US Government would be prevented from its intended goals (whatever they were) by homeowners brandishing handguns.
And the Paul is dead thing? I can't bring myself to even care about that one. If I was trying to preach conspiracy theory to the masses, I'd stick to the ones that really matter - JFK and 9/11 to pick what I consider the most important two.
A bit like the no planes theory - I find it hard to believe that all these people from Sandy Hook, Charleston etc were successfully "disappeared" without anything leaking out.
That said, after having clearly got away with killing JFK, it would not surprise me at all if the sponsors of that scheme branched out and got more and more ambitious, so there may well be more real conspiracies. So I remain open minded but my threshold for being convinced gets higher as I get older.
