Gaeton Fonzi, American Hero, has Passed

[Dawn Meredith]

My emphasis in bold:

Gaeton Fonzi, 76, an investigative reporter for Philadelphia Magazine from 1959 to 1972 who later published his own conspiracy theory of the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, died Thursday, Aug. 30, of Parkinson's disease at his home in Satellite Beach, Fla.

Right there.

The power of two little words.

All of Fonzi's JFK work is marginalised and delegitimized.

We routinely have members on DPF, often passing visitors from the Swamp, arguing that the dichotomy in JFK research is between "Lone Nutters" and "Conspiracy Theorists", or LNers and CTers.

Any researcher, any truthseeker, who allows themselves to be defined as a Conspiracy Theorist is a fool playing the enemy's game.

Cass Sunstein laughs heartily at such "researchers".

That jumped out at me too and pissed me off because he wrote the true story of his work with the HSCA. There were no "theories". I too refuse to use that term to describe myself. It is demeaning.
