U.S. Federal Government Persecution of Bobby Fischer

Back to the Untold Story of Bobby Fischer Index

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, (St. Louis, Missouri), 08 Apr 1986, Page 11

But sadly, as it goes with unsavory political causes, the Zionists have fostered many friendships in high places through deception, intimidation (AIPAC), to the tune of extorting around 38 billion USD per decade from the U.S. to support their warmongering regime.

Bobby Fischer spoke against Zionists… so the “friends of Israel” came after Bobby with both barrels.

Bobby Fischer was given accurate diagnoses in 2017 by a licensed professional who reviewed Bobby's written and spoken testimonies about the cult's abuse and police brutality, hence a correct diagnosis is finally obtained:

Bobby Fischer and the Worldwide Church of God Cult Terror Doctrines and Post-Cult Aftermath

Stevens Point Journal Stevens Point, Wisconsin Friday, March 25, 2005 - Page 9

“The United States is an illegitimate country … just like the bandit state of Israel — [Zionists] have no right to be there, it belongs to the Palestinians.” said Fischer. “That country, the United States, belongs to the red man, the American Indian … It's actually a shame to be a so-called American.”

Chess Icon Calls U.S. 'Illegitimate Country'

A victim of cult indoctrination, psychological manipulation and physical violence.

Autism and Sensory Issues in Bobby Fischer

“…Many traumatic events (e.g., car accidents, natural disasters, etc.) are of time-limited duration. However, in some cases people experience chronic trauma that continues or repeats for months or years at a time. Some have suggested that the current PTSD diagnosis does not fully capture the severe psychological harm that occurs with prolonged, repeated trauma. Treatment considerations for those with such complex trauma histories are reviewed.
In 1988, Dr. Judith Herman of Harvard University suggested that a new diagnosis, complex PTSD, was needed to describe the symptoms of long-term trauma …

Compounded, ongoing events … not just one were later coined, “Complex PTSD”. PTSD does not properly describe the conditions of the Palestinians, nor Bobby … there are too many deep injuries for one lifetime.

What is Complex PTSD?

As anticipated with “Team Neoconservative” Bush Sr. —, to astonishment of international law scholars in 1992, oddly singled out Bobby Fischer and indicted for non-crime of playing a chess match with Spassky who was never named an “enemy of U.S.A.”.

Not taxes. A chess game.
This assault on liberty was followed with Bush Jr.'s administration abusing its international reach to arrest Bobby Fischer in 2004 stemming from the same charges for a non-crime, in a country that no longer exists.

The only person in the world to have been indicted for a violation of this regulation — a regulation that has long since ceased to be in force, and a violation committed in a country that no longer exists — is Robert James Fischer. This case is an example of a barbarous violation of human rights.

Bobby Fischer's Adamant Animosity toward Garry Kasparov… the “Neoconservative” War-For-Profit Corporate Politician, is revealed as early as 1990

Bobby Fischer's Adamant Dislike for Garry Kasparov

'til the world understands why Robert J. Fischer criticised the U.S./British and Russian military industry imperial alliance and their own Israeli Apartheid. Sarah Wilkinson explains:

Bobby Fischer, First Amendment, Freedom of Speech
What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy.
To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”. I think Mr. Fischer held out and fought the good fight, steadfast til the day he died, and may he Rest In Peace.
Educate yourself about U.S./State Laws --

After which the troll posted a string of profanities, confirming there was never any genuine sentiment of “compassion” for Mr. Fischer, rather an intent to inflict further defamatory remarks.

This ongoing work is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Robert “Bobby” Fischer who passionately loved and studied chess history. May his life continue to inspire many other future generations of chess enthusiasts and kibitzers, alike.

Robert J. Fischer, Kid Chess Wizard 1956March 9, 1943 - January 17, 2008

The photograph of Bobby Fischer (above) from the March 02, 1956 The Tampa Times was discovered by Sharon Mooney (Bobby Fischer Newspaper Archive editor) on February 01, 2018 while gathering research materials for this ongoing newspaper archive project. Along with lost games now being translated into Algebraic notation and extractions from over two centuries of newspapers, it is but one of the many lost treasures to be found in the pages of old newspapers since our social media presence was first established November 11, 2017.
