Here is what Jim Fetzer has written about me and this forum, DPF, in " "The JFK War: An Insider's Guide to Assassination Research III":
On the "Deep Politics Forum", for example, when I introduced a new thread, "JFK believe it or not: Oswald wasn't event a shooter", Charles Drago, who was a founding member and who dominates that forum, embedded it within an older thread, "TSBD Doorway man Oswald or Lovelady?", even boasting on the thread that he had done it so others would not know it was there! In response to my earlier post, #284, "Reasoning about Doorman: The Oswald Innocence Project", in post #286, he wrote that we had been "totally discredited" and that we represented "an attack on the community of JFK assassination researchers":
Think about this carefully: If the JFK-related oeuvres of Fetzer and "Cinque" did not exist, the truth of conspiracy in the murder of JFK would be no less firmly established.
Accordingly, I submit that it is high time that we, as a community, remove Jim Fetzer from our midst and in effect institutionalize him as a once-important, now fatally, irrevocably impaired, and dangerous man who is being manipulated by his enemies to do their work and undermine his own legacy.
We do not debate the likes of Gerald Posner, Vince Bugliosi, David von Pein, John McAdams, and Ken Rahn. Rather, we expose their lies and agendas and then banish them from the company of honorable, civilized human beings.
But while a few sane voices of reason observed that his claims were themselves fabrications because [B]no one had debunked our work, the tenor of this forum was even more hostile than that of "The Education Forum"and those who review this thread on the DPF will find ample support for my contention that Charles Drago himself has lost his way and become an obstacle to assassination research. [EMPHASIS ADDED BY DRAGO][/B]
Herein lies prima facie evidence of the delusions that rule Fetzer's existence. In point of fact, the junk science peddled like snake oil by Fetzer and his familiar, "Cinque," has been exposed as just that numerous times on DPF and elsewhere by the most credible of observers.
Little wonder, then, that we now must speak the name "James Fetzer" in the same breath in which we utter those of Posner, Bugliosi, von Pein, McAdams, and Rahn.
This is a heartbreaking truth for those of us who once honored, respected, and even loved Jim Fetzer. That man is gone now. We have his noble work from years gone by. We have our memories of time well spent in his company. And nothing, not even his ongoing terrible mental and emotional declines, can take them from us.
It is my most fervent hope that those left in Fetzer's world who truly love him will intervene and bring to him the help for which he pleads with each pathetic outburst.

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.
