Let me begin by saying, I've never had an ill word with Jim Fetzer. Ever! I've known him for years. He's supported many sites not only with input but donations as well. He's always played it straight with me! Since 2000 on he's probably done more to further independent JFK assassination research than any other person in recent history. He has shed new light on the assassination. With and without a philosophers bent. Thus setting the stage for many advances proposed and furthered by those on this forum and others....
One thing for sure, he can get a book published. And get his views on the "airways" analog and digitally as well... Which I'm sure frustrates majority of his loon nut critics.
Whatever happened after the Paul Wellstone's death, in my estimation, may have been the tipping point for Jim's change in research direction. I believe there's still considerable anger regarding that incident. As well as there should.
Dr. Jim Fetzer's 3 book trilogy regarding most things JFK's assassination has stood the test of time... I consider him not only a friend but a battle hardened JFK assassination pioneer. Who also knows his stuff!

I agree his early work was very good. And it is very good to hear he supports some places financially. Just seems he has lost his way in recent years though.

Because those of us who wonder how the Altgens photo was altered in the 30 minutes between the time it was taken and the time it was published by the AP are surely "loon nut critics." This is the kind of rhetoric you greeted me with when I joined this forum, implying that I was spreading disinformation. If you are not deliberately trolling and dividing the JFK research community, your rhetoric certainly has the same end result.

I am now done with Part 2. I think it is really something what he has done elsewhere.
And I don't think many people in the JFK community know about it. The Sandy Hook stuff really kind of shocked me.
Anyway, that should be up today or tomorrow.
And BTW, as I wrote, Fetzer was really only the editor of his three JFK books. And it was not like me and Lisa Pease editing The Assassinations, where we also wrote the majority of the text.
If you count the pages Fetzer actually wrote, they were really quite few. Especially in MIDP, which I think is his best volume. That book is distinguished by the work of others, like Horne, Palamara, Mantik, Weldon and especially Aguilar. In fact, I think Gary's essay in MIDP is one of the five best short treatments of the medical evidence anywhere. But Gary will not associate with Fetzer today. And that is an issue I go into at the end of Part 2.

And the troll label fits you like a glove, Mr. Healy. Your behavior, and the company you keep, speaks volumes about your character.

Gentleman, please let us not act like some other forums. DPF is classy and distinctive.
Let us keep it ciivl and to the point.
Part 2 is arriving tomorrow. Everyone will be enlightened, and I think a bit startled. I know my friend Albert was.
Even I was not aware of some of the stuff.

Looking forward to Pt 2. FWIW, Fetzer's 9/11 stuff couldn't be any more destructive to the movement if he tried. It's a horrific tabloid mix of jews-did-it hyperbole, Judy Wood space lasers, and chummy nods to Holocaust and moon landing denial. Fetzer also named a group of his fellow-minded pundits 'Scholars for 9/11 Truth' to kick the air out of the similarly high-minded Journal of 9/11 Studies, so newcomers online would conflate the two and dump the lot via the junk that Fetzer had roped into discussion.
Fetzer's new book is an anthology with detailed essays arguing that the Holocaust and moon landings were faked, and that Paul McCartney died years ago and was replaced with an alter ego. Cass Sunstein must be thrilled. Add Fetzer's Sandy Hook comments to the mix and you've got a perfect storm of junk presenting conspiracy researchers as morons babbling tasteless nonsense.

That is not at all an exaggeration about his book and Sandy Hook.
And I touch on his wild 9-11 stuff and what it did to that field.
Almost scary.

If anything was going to push you over that invisible point of no return it would probably be the Paul is dead conspiracy...
