Jim Fetzer, using the full weight of both his academic qualifications and his former standing as a leading JFK assassination scholar, is making the following claim via his highly self-touted "Oswald Innocence Project" --
The determination of Lee Harvey Oswald's role -- patsy or lone gunman -- in the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy rests solely on the identification of the so-called Doorway Man in the Altgens 6 photograph.
The mortal danger posed by this action to our efforts to determine truth and effect justice in the wake of JFK's assassination could not be more clear.
Accordingly, I must now make a public appeal to the scientists, physicians, historians, criminologists, and researchers of diverse interests and disciplines who contributed to Fetzer's Murder in Dealey Plaza, Assassination Science, and The Great Zapruder Film Hoaxto come forward and serve truth and justice at the expense -- the terrible expense -- of friendship.
I ask that they review Jim Fetzer's intellectual and emotional declines as they are clearly delineated on this forum -- in particular, his pseudo-scientific, pathological defenses of the indefensible theses of Phillip Nelson (LBJ was the "mastermind," or prime mover/governing force, of the JFK assassination) and Ralph Cinque (the so-called Doorway Man was, beyond all reasonable doubt, LHO) -- and think deeply about the likely immense, negative impacts of Fetzer's activities on our shared JFK-related efforts during the coming eighteen months.
I ask that they then come forward and publicly repudiate Fetzer's work in the above-referenced areas.
Finally, I ask that, if they truly care about their friend's mental and physical well-being, they take steps to provide counsel and comfort to Jim Fetzer -- once a great, noble, courageous warrior for truth, but now a very disturbed man and a grave, even mortal threat to the very causes he formerly championed.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
