Persecutors of Robert J. "Bobby" Fischer Harass Social Media Page Aiming for the Removal of It's Fight Against Hitler's Anti-Semitic Race Myths

Dearest ACLU, A message was sent from FB, threatening to “Unpublish” this page. Why? Because a theological fact Jewish scholars have themselves published against Antisemitic conspiracy theorists (which Facebook has now put itself in a position of defending!), threats of “unpublishing” a page that regularly engages itself in rebuking a lie spread by Hitler, Nazis and their antisemitic allies persist as the Hitler Race Myth continues to spread globally. Says the 150 Year old LeHigh University:

The Myth of the Jewish Race
“More than sixty years after the death of Hitler, the defeat of Nazism, and the horrors of the Holocaust, the concept of a Jewish race is still alive and well in the minds of too many. This book is an attempt to destroy such a concept from both a biological and historical point of view. To be a race Jews would have to have been isolated from other populations. However, they never avoided crossbreeding and converted many non-Jews. In other words, from Day One Jews have married non-Jews, and therefore there is no way to genetically characterize them as a race. Nevertheless, many people find it difficult to accept the ideas that Judaism is not hereditary, but a religion, and that Jews who abandon the Jewish faith, whether they adopt another religion or none at all, are no longer Jews. […]
Although many volumes have been written that condemn anti-Semitism and deal with its history, only two treat the myth of the Jewish race. Oddly, though both maintain that there is no such thing as a Jewish race, their authors write about Jewish blood and Jewish genes, which are misleading concepts as harmful and pernicious as the term race itself.”
https://lupress.cas.lehigh.edu/content/myth-jewish-race

Antisemites persecuted Robert J. Fischer… and we are not supposed to unite with Jews around the world, to expose them for what they are?

“Overview: Judaism is a religion and a way of life. In other words, it is a faith and a spiritual path. There is a Jewish community and a Jewish people. However, there is no Jewish race. Rather, Jews hail from many races just like Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and others. The notion of a “Jewish race” is a fiction perpetrated by anti-Semites who wish to define Jews as having their own race in order to denigrate Jews as being from an “inferior race,” and as being ***human." - Rabbi Frydman
https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-jewish-people-a-faith-not-a-race/

I have stated the same facts, that Judaism consists of ALL Races and is NOT a race. All Races are welcomed into the synagogue, and that is how its been for 1000s of years.

Will FB Unpublish this page because the same FACTS have been expressed by the Supreme Court of the United States?

Judge rules that Judaism is not a race but Jewish people can be targeted for racism. Here's why that matters.
"A timely new court ruling is a reminder that human racial difference are based in prejudice, not fact.
Judaism is not a race. But Jewish people can be targeted for racism.
That may seem like a contradiction. But a recent ruling by U.S. Magistrate Mark Hornsby of Louisiana updated anti-discrimination laws in the state. In doing so, Hornsby has potentially helped to clarify the distinction between race and racism at a time when white supremacy is expanding its reach — and finding new groups to single out for hate.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/judge-rules-judaism-not-race-jewish-people-can-be-targeted-ncna896806

Is FACTUAL NEWS, and rebuking the causes of racism, “inappropriate” content for the FB environment?

If this page disappears from viewing, after FB was paid thousands of dollars to build it, and the same in hours to build it to its current level... you, the readers will know exactly why.

Bobby's persecutors have demonstrated they will not stop until this page is removed, in an effort to prevent the world knowing about the details leading up to his victory throughout the summer of 1972 and the lead up to Bobby declared the winner of the world tournament. If the page disappears, the work will continue on the blog archives. You already know where to find the blog archive.

Posted by Bobby Fischer's True History on Thursday, July 29, 2021

I am personally horrified by Facebook's actions, just yesterday. Many here are familiar with our personal story https://vindication-of-bobby-fischer.co/ Robert J. Fischer joined the Christian sect, “The Worldwide Church of God,” as I was made to do at a young age. Over a decade of indoctrination about what Nazis would do when they invaded. I vividly recall being made to watch "Holocaust" a television miniseries from 1978 which helped shape my understanding of future events as interpreted by cult leader Herbert W. Armstrong. The selection process, of people brought in off the street, and harassed by an officer, finding evidence, whether it was realistic or not, to label people "Jewish". Both myself & Bobby would later question Armstrong, and dare to research the Nazis for ourselves, confront our deepest fears that had been drilled in since youth… Fischer discovered the “Palestinian problem” amidst the literature, and myself, I observed what the Nazis were doing, confused, due to my youth, but in later years came to recognize it for the stalking / harassment behavior that it is.

You have seen Nazis and Anti-Semites on social media, and it is utterly impossible for them to carry on a conversation without searching every person's background for any semblance to anything, that remotely resembles what Hitler would define as “Jewish”… “The Jewish Race” myth.

The Myth of the Jewish Race
“...More than sixty years after the death of Hitler, the defeat of Nazism, and the horrors of the Holocaust, the concept of a Jewish race is still alive and well in the minds of too many. This book is an attempt to destroy such a concept from both a biological and historical point of view. To be a race Jews would have to have been isolated from other populations.

Many of you have witnessed these Nazi / Anti-Semites target Robert Fischer. They cannot discuss his chess, without mentioning “Jewish” “Jewish” “Jewish” “Jewish” and chuckle to themselves in anonymity. The same as Hitler, mandating a yellow star be placed on their clothing identifying them… singling them out… subjugating them, whether they were actually Jewish or not. If a person had so much as a great grandparent who had worshiped in a synagogue, it was enough to dictate they were "Jewish" and subjected to intense persecution. Singling out Robert Fischer, a non-Jew by birth, and calling him “Jewish” is no different than the Nazis of Hitler's era.
We, Robert Fischer and myself, were of a Christian sect. Orthodox Jews do not accept Jesus or the New Testament. Bobby Fischer was not Jewish.

Facebook monitors clearly have not familiarized themselves with the Holocaust, and Hitler's murderous racial myths, and how the Nazis sought out non-Jews, “racially profiled,” by mere physical attributes, (that is what some monitor at Facebook claimed was a violation: A screenshot of a Nazi feigning they were Jewish, and abusing Bobby to spread Hitler Race Myth propaganda, transforming a religion into a racial category, a “nationality” by research into their background, to denigrate them). To me, it is horrifying, and strikes the center of the trauma that I lived through … The post in question, revealed no identity, but it provided a prime example, exposing NAZI PROPAGANDA for what it looks like on Social Media… and was pointed out correctly, that the person writing it, admitted they do not believe in God, nor do they adhere to Judaism. So then who or what, was spreading the “Hitler Race Myth” lie? For attempting to educate the public, Facebook says it is a violation of their policy… and punishes the persons educating the public about Anti-Semitism.

Who makes the policies at Facebook which overtly protect Nazis freedom to troll, even pretending they're Jews?

But after seeing the recent articles on Facebook racial profiling (Reuters: US Facebook Workers; U.S. Agency Probes Facebook for Systemic Racial Bias in Hiring/Promotions), and high officials in their company refusing to hire people of color, discriminating, racism, I am not at all surprised that Facebook policies protect Anti-Semites, and PROTECT Nazis who IMPERSONATE Judaism!

This page was threatened with “Unpublishing” because one of the main purposes is to expose Anti-Semitism, arm people with information, and educate the public.

With their racist employment policies, Facebook monitors are not in a position to know enough about Anti-Semitism to make a qualified judgment on who's violating what!

I am personally horrified by Facebook's actions, just yesterday. Many here are familiar with our personal story...

How the Soviet Rigged American Opinion: Bad Publicity is Not Better than Positive Publicity

Moscow hid the match, buried it, in Iceland behind the pleats of the Iron Curtain then carefully selected and approved who would be given access to cover the match. Great pains were taken to stomp out constitutionally protected “freedom of the press”. (For evidence, simply read the past reports, even the major news outlets in Iceland were protesting the barring of reporters/photographers, by Soviet underhanded tactics. Read how Fischer's attorney Paul Marshall reported to the local New York Times, that Fischer's complaint centered on more than simply money, but was infuriated over the Soviet Iceland seeking to bury coverage of the match… a blackout of media coverage.) Soviet sympathizer Chester Fox “bought out” the entire match from Icelandic Chess officials, without consultation of either Fischer or Spassky, to eliminate coverage; censorship so deeply desired by the Soviet Union. Imagine that… Americans kneeling and bowing to the will of his foreign interest Soviet Lords and Masters… good old fashioned Imperialism. Certain Americans and Russian Imperialists were “conspiring” together from the start, from the Fascist Nixon and his Soviet liaisons, down the chain of power.

My Title: “Rehashed Soviet Anti-American Invective to Turn Public Interest Away From Fischer's Defeat of USSR” and Steve Kittey's Description:
“…All that confusion over Fischer's ridiculous refusal to show up on time and the senseless publicity it received turns us off completely”.

QUESTION: And who was responsible for releasing all that negative press into the news media, failing to spell out the background of what Fischer's protests were? His outrage the Soviet was banning coverage? An affront to constitutional freedom of the press while failing to elaborate on the months of finicky, overbearing Soviet and European demands and complaints of organizers who had no intent of proceeding with “fair play” under orthodox rules of engagement. Organizers who refused for months to sort out tournament details pre-match. Refused to even disclose the details of a contract Fischer was given ultimatum to agree to, or forfeit… then of course, the tournament would be a Soviet-Vs-Soviet showdown. Belgrade's illegal demand of 35K USD “guarantee” which Soviet lackeys in media showered with praise in western media… flooding western papers with abusive vitriolic defamation of Fischer, while praising Soviet underhanded tricks. That illegal 35,000 guarantee, the USCF rightly refused to fork up! Australia's legal $225K bid snubbed by Russia, threatening they “would not play” in a conniption fit of poor sportsmanship. And most of all, nobody from the Soviet side seems interested to point out how the USSR hand-selected an Anti-American, Racist Iceland who had a very long history of restricting the entry of blacks, even an all out ban on persons of shades of dark brown, the lack of satellite communications and unconstitutional censorship of news coverage. Insiders reported Soviet schemes to disqualify Fischer and replace with Petrosian, etc. and yet, none of this made it into the syndicated, Soviet-controlled “Western” press?

Contradictory Reports from Reykjavik, Iceland

By July 14, 1972 Fischer is reported to declare that some individuals are “conspiring” against him… “conspiracy” … after review of the facts, there's evidence to confirm they certainly “conspired” with these news reports, moving between Reykjavik, Iceland and the United States to carefully cover up these following facts:

Golombek reports the disruptive camera man was located on the roof, but Schonberg of the NY Times reports “…Fischer objected to a television crew working from an aperture at the side of the stage. He said that the movements of one of the cameramen distracted him…” and yet, this reporter adds, it was a camera operator 150 feet away disrupting Fischer's concentration…” another report claims, “…disturbed by the sound and sight of a television” camera MAN “…at the back hall of the stage” …among other accounts which indicate these disruptive camera men were located at all angles … Fischer was swarmed by MANY disruptive camera men. These reporters *assumed* perhaps, it was only the camera man in closest proximity to them, which they saw and heard making a commotion near where they were seated. But Fischer reports observing ALL camera men (plural), making so much disruptive noise and commotion that it was disrupting his concentration, and quite possibly threw the game in favor of the Soviet Union, enabling the Soviet to score a win in the first match.
Numerous attempts are made, as if orchestrated, to deflect attention away from the fact that “Camera MEN” were responsible, reports engage in attempt to deceive readers of U.S. newspapers, by claiming cameras, in one report, goes so far as claiming it was a “tiny camera” but no mention are made of the MAN holding the camera). Hidden cameras? “…hidden behind cloth-covered scaffolding above the stage where the players will sit, would distract him (Fischer).” But if that were actually true, how then could the lens of the camera possibly film anything if it were covered in cloth? So the cameras were not hidden, nor were the men operating them. Golombek reports a MAN was creating a disruption on the roof with a camera, “Fischer observed that a cameraman was training a camera on him from the roof. He protested and said he would not resume play until the camera was removed.”
This meddling and irksome circus is the only way the Soviet Union could declare itself victorious? By manipulating a win against Fischer, using disruptive camera men, off-the-board? Such a display of poor sportsmanship!
Isolating the match in an Anti-American haven of Racist intolerance, Iceland, that lacked modern satellite communications, to attempt to achieve censoring the match, burying coverage, and reporting to Americans thousands of miles away, who have been virtually cut off from access, a media blackout, that Fischer was “hallucinating” “camera noise” Major media outlet reports are strangely absent of the fact “CAMERA MEN” … (Soviet-Sympathetic) Camera Operators, are making a lot of unnecessary noise and commotion. Those camera men are the culprit behind Fischer's grievances. Those disruptive camera crew men are the sole reason, absolutely, for Fischer's boycott of the Second Match… This handful of biased, no account Soviet-sympathizers working in western media were hand-selected by the Soviet Union to “cover” the match for American papers and dismally fail to report what's really happening behind the pleats of the Iron Curtain.
I hope Americans wake up to recognize how Soviet-Russians have, for far too long, too much overreach in American media (starting with Walter Duranty of the New York Times who brushed the Holodomor under the rug and won a Pulitzer prize for his fiction), attempting to STEAL the World Chess Title right out from under the nose of Americans! What is occurring in Reykjavik, Iceland is NOT an example of any sort of “Constitutionally protected, guaranteed ‘Free Press’”.

“I was more disappointed than anybody that this thing wasn't televised because, you know, there was a lot of publicity and a lot of money involved and I wanted the people to see me in action. Let's face it. But they had these characters there, who instead of having, some kind of video tape film that didn't make any noise, just, nobody around to operate them, just sort of stationless and they just had guys there with film cameras that were worrying, and they were all around me. Making a racket. A nuisance. Too much noise, and visually you could see them moving around.” - Robert J. Fischer, November 1972

Zionism 101 : The Great Enemy of the Jewish People

There can be no rest for Bobby until the world knows the political factions and agendas which tormented him. Just yesterday evening came this one, to exploit Bobby's reputation for political advantage which Bobby was morally opposed to. This, dear friends, is a “Zionist”. Make no mistake, it is not Jewish. It admits it has NO RELIGION. No belief in God. It makes the absurdly astounding claim, that Judaism is not a religion in contradiction with all known facts. It speaks from the core of its Zionist ideology… that True Torah Jews have denounced as a fraud, an imposter. In the words of a great Rabbi, Zionism is “the greatest enemy ever known to the Jewish people.” For more information on this antisemitic ideology, that seeks to wipe Judaism from the face of the earth and replace their faith with a twisted, Fascist Ultra-Nationalist "Race Myth" espoused by Adolf Hitler, hear what Neturei Karta has to say on this troubling matter. Most Zionists are NOT Jews, their major political backers are "Christian Zionists" who do not want Jews... or blacks... or people of color or ethnic or religious difference such as Muslim, living in their neighborhood.

Historically, Jews of the world reject Zionism.

Jews reject Zionism.

Jews reject Zionism.

“Zionists” are the people who persecuted & harrassed Bobby Fischer, pushing the false narrative that he was ever part of a so-called “Jewish Race” when there is no such thing! Judaism is a religion. Not a nationality or race. Jews come from all races, all cultural backgrounds and nationalities.

The Great Puzzling Chess Battle Robert Fischer Is Up Against: Calculated Soviet Meddling To Win The Tournament by Default

Put the puzzle together and figure out for yourself what was going on behind the lines…
(Harry Golombek, Washington Post Service, 7/13/1972) “Fischer observed that a cameraman was training a camera on him from the roof. He protested...For 32 minutes the game stood in abeyance... Fred Kramer, vice-president of the American Zone of the World Chess Federation, called in the police and the cameraman was ordered away.”

(Harold C. Schonberg, New York Times, 7/13/1972) “Schmid later said that he had had no part in the decision to eject the cameraman. But, Schmid said, if Fischer persisted in his objections, there would be trouble.”

(Reuter, 7/13/1972) Fischer's chief administrative aide, Fred Cramer, said afterward that the man holding the rights to television coverage of the event, American Chester Fox, “will sue me for half a million dollars.”

Look at Them Lying . . . Again

FALSE: (Reuters News Service) <--Icelandic officials explained later--> ([so the reporter wasn't actually there and no eye witness so why should we believe a false report relayed “later” by “Icelandic officials” seeking to confuse readers of U.S. newspapers?]) that Fischer had left the board because he said he was disturbed by the sound and sight of a television camera poking through the back hall of the stage. ([Icelandic officials make no mention of the man at the roof? Peculiar because … this is not what Golombek reports. Golombek describes a VERY different scenrio with a particularly disruptive man with a camera, AT THE ROOF of the building, police were called to remove him. Why do reporters have so many different stories about the number of “cameras”, the location of the cameras, and most important, nearly every next-day report obfuscates that it's not actually a camera but the MAN operating the device hired by the Soviet Union, to DISTURB Fischer and win a game by default.])
He stormed off to complain to the chief arbiter, grandmaster Lothar Schmidt, and did not return until the camera had been withdrawn.
Fischer's chief administrative aide, Fred Cramer, said afterward that the man holding the rights to television coverage of the event, American Chester Fox, “will sue me for half a million dollars.”

TRUE: “Then came a dramatic suspension of play. Fischer observed that a cameraman was training a camera on him from the roof. He protested and said he would not resume play until the camera was removed. For 32 minutes the game stood in abeyance, and in the interim, Fischer's clock was going. However, he had plenty of time. Fred Kramer, vice-president of the American Zone of the World Chess Federation, called in the police and the cameraman was ordered away. <--When play was resumed, Fischer's position went downhill rapidly--> until he reached a point, where he was unable to move without material loss.” - Harry Golombek, 07/13/1972 who was present as an observer.

Actually Fox goes all out, harassing Fischer with a 3.3 million dollar lawsuit, to guarantee he stays out of professional chess circles. “Chess” really must be a “big propaganda vehicle” with the Russian government, just as Fischer said it is. He knew they'd find a way to bury the match. Realistic, truthful reports can't even get outside of Iceland with all this Soviet control of the press!

Look at Them Lying . . . Again

Two Contradictory Reports: Soviet Disruptions or Hallucinations?

The following two contradictory reports offer the public direct insight into the type of people directly responsible for manufacturing false stories about Robert Fischer, and propagating myths of being “delusional” and “hallucinating”. The report confirms, beyond reasonable doubt, that human interference was directly at fault for blowing Fischer's concentration. Not some bewildering product of a “wild imagination”. ANY person, who finds themself engaged in tournament competition which demands intense focus and concentration playing at the level Fischer was, would certainly have their concentration blown to bits, and hence, rendering otherwise accurate playing skills, ineffectual over the board.

False Spassky-Fischer First Game Analysis
FALSE: “As for the game itself, it reveals a tremendous loss of form for the American, and falls far below the standard of play one expects in a world championship match. It could be a sign that Fischer's nerves have failed him, and that he has begun to hallucinate at the chess board.” - Peter Dorman, 07/13/1972, who was not present. HOGWASH!! NONSENSE!!

TRUE: “Then came a dramatic suspension of play. Fischer observed that a cameraman was training a camera on him from the roof. He protested and said he would not resume play until the camera was removed. For 32 minutes the game stood in abeyance, and in the interim, Fischer's clock was going. However, he had plenty of time.

When Should Draw Be Offered In Chess Match?

Dobrynin, Nixon in Warm Chat

The Soviet Union, the “necessary enemy” of cold war politics, built by big American industrialists such as Henry Ford and Koch. The hows and whens wars get planned behind closed doors… over a nice dinner and tour of a movie studio. Americans do not question what their elected leaders do behind closed doors and usually find out thousands of lives too late. The Soviet Union was very much involved with sending troops to agitate the conflict in Asia, but it was kept secret from the Russian people until after the Iron Curtain fell. The United States and Soviet were orchestrating a century of war to peddle arms, ammunition and profiting from disposable human lives for big military profits. I'm sure that during these private talks in luxurious settings Nixon/Kissinger assured their guest that no invitation would be extended to challenger Robert Fischer…

Courier-Post Camden, New Jersey Thursday, July 13, 1972

San Clemente, California (UPI) -- President Nixon engaged in a bit of psychological warfare with Hanoi yesterday by holding a warm and friendly chat with the Soviet ambassador on the eve of the renewal of the Paris peace talks.
Presidential spokesman Ronald Ziegler said it was “only coincidental” that the meeting was held the day before the Vietnam talks resume.
But he did confirm that Vietnam was among the subjects discussed in Nixon's hour-and-a-half session with Anatoly Dobrynin and the White House took the unusual step of inviting photographers in to record the event.
TO ADD PRESSURE
This focus on the warm relations between the United States and Hanoi's chief military supplier appeared to be an effort to add some pressure on the North Vietnamese delegation to take a more flexible stand in the negotiations.
Ziegler said Ambassador and Mrs. Dobrynin had come west to inspect a recently opened Soviet consulate in San Francisco and had been invited to visit the Western White House by presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger.
He said the talk involved “a general review of U.S.-U.S.S.R relations” following Nixon's Moscow summit in May and that Vietnam had come up “in the course of overall discussion of world affairs.” He said the ambassador's visit was not for the purpose of “talking about any one thing.”
STUDIO TOUR
Kissinger met Dobrynin in Los Angeles and gave him a taste of the Hollywood life by hosting a party in his honor at a Beverly Hills restaurant and leading him on a tour of move and television studios, including a wisecracking encounter with a comedy writers conference.
The President and Mrs. Nixon gave the ambassador and his wife a personal tour of the grounds of their residence before the talks began. The sessions, also attended by Kissinger, were held in the President's office, perched atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific.
The Soviet couple spent the night at a private residence in Cyprus Shores and were scheduled to return to Washington today.

Americans, Europeans, Russians... Can't Handle the Truth, That's Why They FEARED Bobby Fischer

Born and raised in America, MANY racist Americans readily rehash the old prejudices, themselves under the delusion the American continents were somehow where their father's father's father's father came from, therefore this land, “belongs to them.” They may even argue that Lincoln wanted to “send the blacks back to Africa” or any one of a thousand arguments as if that “settles the matter” so all non-white immigrants should be forcibly deported. They can't handle the truth. “Back to Africa,” the racists say? Bobby Fischer will raise you one, America and Canada: “…‘Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa,’ Robert Fischer said. ‘The country should be returned to the American Indians.’” ([Unknown to Robert Fischer, however, many black people joined as citizens with Native American tribes, and today have as much right to exist on the land, as the full-blooded descendants of the aboriginal peoples of the Western Hemisphere, the First Nations… from the time when there were no “America” or “Canada” and I speak that truth as a descendant of the proud Irish. For further commentary, Google Images “illegal alien cartoon indian”. Europe and Russia, here's a newsbreak too, you're not innocent with your centuries of colonization, resource-theft, enslavement of aboriginal people and land plunder around the globe.

Says The Lyman Nebraska Leader, Lyman, Nebraska on Soviet Racism Thursday, July 23, 1964:
“Soviet Union tolerance for racial differences comes a little late in the day. The Russians for years have been busily engaged in setting black against white all over Africa. Now they term the Red Chinese “racists” for doing substantially the same thing. With the Soviets, as usual, it makes a big difference who's doing it.
The current exchange of insults between the two communist giants involves Chinese efforts to bar Russia from an Asian-African conference scheduled for next March in Indonesia.
The Chinese say the Russians aren't really an Asian people, but the unjust occupiers of Asian territory—in other words colonialists.
The Russians are the modern empire builders, subverting native populations and formerly free nations by means more vicious than the early colonialists ever employed.

Says who? Mary Kenny, Soviet spin doctor who is too busy consorting with Soviet comrades it leaves no time to put any effort into accurate reports to the public. Says Harold Schonberg of the New York Times, “Fischer objected to a television crew working from an aperture at the side of the stage. He said that the movements of one of the CAMERA-MEN distracted him”]). He succeeded in getting these cameras stopped. ([These cameras, plural?])
In doing this, he was actually once more going against the rules of the chess federation since he had previously agreed implicitly to the TV coverage… ([Really… who said so?? Again, the New York Times reports, according to Referee Schmid, “Fischer claimed that since he personally had not signed any agreement…” and according to the Orlando Sentinel, July 4, 1972; “[Fischer] was furious about the press censorship…The sponsors announced restrictions in photo coverage because the rights had been sold.” and even before the matches began, Fischer was STILL protesting (which is the only thing he ever “agreed” to do, in regard to those cameras, he would play the match “under protest”), “Fischer made a last minute demand to stop televising the first of the 24-game series. “There will be no TV filming tonight, but we hope some other arrangements can be made so they can film later during the match,” said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. Fischer said the television cameras, hidden behind cloth-covered scaffolding above the stage where the players will sit, would distract him.” The Times-News Twin Falls, Idaho Tuesday, July 11, 1972]).

The Soviet Union Tries Once Again to Rewrite History As It Is Happening

Good Guys In Sports: They're a Myth

“Very rarely is a reporter or any analyst spending any time with a player,” Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said when I asked about this “good guy” phenomenon, “so y’all do NOT know us at all.”

([Ever follow wrestlers? They have all these ridiculous arguments outside the ring, attempting to drum up interest for the "World Showdown" that's always televised at a price (Fischer's '72 match with Spassky, wasn't televised, or did anyone fail to notice that?), and then wrestling circus drums up ticket sales, for "in the ring conflicts" (Soviet selected a location near impossible to attend). I have no desire to follow the wrestling circuses, and besides that, they're fake. Even those rooting and cheering will tell you its fake. I'm sure its easy money, but most people have better things to do than pursue what can only appeal to the most basic brain functions, dulling the neocortex. The Soviet-agitated attacks on Fischer were real, most of it fell behind the Iron Curtain. Most people, worldwide, never saw the vicious spew in Soviet magazines written about Fischer, "official Soviet propaganda". Wrestling is staged and we know its harmless and for profit. Meanwhile, the Fischer-Soviet war grew from the time Mr. Bob was 13 years of age, the Soviet became verbally threatening to him, and Bobby perceived along with thousands of other people from western chess circles, the Soviets were pre-arranging "grandmaster draws" to squeeze out non-Soviet players. (See Edward Lasker's 1950 allegations in U.S. Newspapers on lack of Soviet sportsmanship and how they work as a team to squeeze out non-Soviets. This was before Fischer's time!) Fischer was not "acting" when he protested and boycotted and refused to play during the 1960s. Eventually, the "Showdown" did come to fruition, but by that time, Bobby had came to a point in his life, he didn't much care anymore because of the years of poor Soviet sportsmanship and poor Soviet conduct, Fischer reports during his interview with Johnny Carson, Nov. 1972. But where was FIDE to monitor and behave as a fair mediator, other than changing some rules when Fischer spilled to Sports Illustrated?

When sports celebrities are taking their conflicts outside the ring, an organized smear campaign of a chess player who does not have access to a bottomless pit of capital as the Soviet did, payout and payrolls for the targeted abuse against a chess player who was a kid, and on the Autism Spectrum... vilifying and dehumanizing him for years, organizing mass media into a fury to defame, hoping he drops out ([and for a brief span of time, Fischer did so]) Soviet went to great lengths to prejudice the public, outright seeking ways to disqualify Fischer. What the Soviet were guilty of doing to Fischer, is the poorest example of "Sportsmanship" and the modern chess establishment still justifies their past abuses of power.

The "icing" on the cake? The chess establishment still regards the Soviet cheaters as "the good guy." It is indeed a myth.

Fischer IQ and Often Repeated Myths

This is an often repeated myth. There is NO EVIDENCE that Fischer had an IQ anywhere near “183”. Others report “180” … “…Although he has a high IQ of 130 or 140…” -Arthur Feuerstein but here's video recording of Bobby Fischer not only confirming he does NOT know his IQ, but more importantly: HE DOES NOT WANT TO DISCUSS it. Observe his reaction and you sense Bobby is getting agitated and wants to change the subject… “People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.” —Stephen Hawking

Bobby says, they tested him, but (14:02 / 21:10) never gave him the score: https://youtu.be/zIE3CFNpZ5Y?t=841

Where did the false teaching, which Hitler popularized, and Israel continues to use as the foundation for its racist Apartheid policies on “genetic identification” who is Jewish and not Jewish (which discriminates against Ethiopian Jews and others who are not part of the Caucasian race), not welcomed nor wanted, in Israel:

“…Singling out of Jews for special discriminatory identification…” make that “racial profiling” of a religion. Hitler and the Soviets, were both equally guilty of researching individuals' backgrounds for ancestors who practiced Judaism, and deemed them as part of the pseudo-scientific quackery, “Jewish race” myth. In short, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union created the “excuse” for Israel to exist.

“I think some of them can't understand the concept of racism because the government has told them it doesn't exist.”

Fort Worth Star-Telegram Fort Worth, Texas Friday, August 25, 1989 - Page 89

Blacks in the Soviet Union suspect odd incidents are due to RACIAL PREJUDICE by David. R. Squires
Kiev, U.S.S.R. — Taxi drivers consistently sped past black Americans on the streets of Moscow, Odessa and Kiev, on some occasions stopping a short distance away to pick up whites.
A frowning white man brushed against a black woman on a Kiev sidewalk, then turned around and bumped against her again.
Two Africans studying in the Soviet Union said they cannot walk the streets of Odessa alone. They know from experience they run the risk of being beaten and robbed.
A white man bumped into a black woman at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport and, after retrieving his suitcase, returned to repeat the affront.
Racism in the Soviet Union? “Never,” said some Soviet residents.
“Of course,” said others.
“We don't have that kind of racism here,” said Lily Golden, a black woman who is an Afro-American studies expert at Moscow State University.
“They treat us the same as they treat everyone else,” agreed Amelia Tynes, who is a university professor.
Tynes' daughter, Anastasia, 22, agreed that the Soviet people are not prejudiced against blacks.
The elder Tynes and Golden are Soviet-born daughters of black American men who came to the Soviet Union in the 1930s and made their homes here.
The Soviet government has historically maintained that racial prejudice does not exist in socialism, and Moscow has denounced racism in the United States. However, in the more open society promoted by President Mikhail Gorbachev, many Soviets are protesting that they have been mistreated because of their nationality or religion.
Yet various Soviet people seem to reach for explanations of the black Americans' experiences.
The taxi drivers “knew you were foreigners,” one Soviet man told us.
Valorie Tate, a black woman from Redondo Beach, Calif., said she was told by a Ukrainian that the man on the street “bumped me because he didn't like me, and he was letting me know he didn't like me.”
“I wonder if he didn't like me because I was black?” Tate asked. “I think some of them can't understand the concept of racism because the government has told them it doesn't exist.”
Several Ukrainians in Odessa — a port city on the Black Sea — said the students were attacked because “Odessa is known for hooliganism, and many people are beaten and robbed when walking alone.”
But others said black Americans and black descendants of people who came to the Soviet Union to escape discrimination in the United States, especially before the civil rights movement of the 1960s, now experience similar prejudice in the Soviet Union.
“It comes from a smaller segment, mostly from the ignorant people, the uneducated,” said Tatiana Denisova, a student at Moscow State University. “Sure, prejudice is here, just like anywhere else.”
The earliest known group of black Americans to come to the Soviet Union arrived in the 1930s after finding they were the last to be hired and first to be fired during the Great Depression.
Lily Golden's father, Oliver Golden, led one such group, a contingent of 35 black agricultural and technical specialists. Oliver Golden, an agronomist from Clarksdale, Miss., introduced cotton in the Soviet Union. He died in 1940.
Soviet television commentator Vladimir Posner said black people who came to the Soviet Union in the 1930s had few problems, Posner, who grew up in New York City before moving to Moscow in 1952, said he “witnessed the birth of anti-black racism” in 1957.
That year, he said, Moscow held its first World Youth Festival, which attracted many young people from African countries that recently had won their independence.
“Many of these people had been put down by whites for as long as they could remember,” Posner said. “Naturally, they had a chip on their shoulders.”
Posner said a story was told that summer about a black youth slapping a Russian girl, who had refused to dance with him.
“I was told this story maybe 100 times,” he said. “Immediately, stories began that blacks do this and blacks do that. Within half a year this country had the same kind of prejudice like I saw in the United States.
“There is also the element that — supposedly — black men are uncommonly attractive to Russian girls,” Posner said. “So Russian men are very unhappy with that.
“Lily Golden might tell you something different,” Posner continued. “But I'm being very candid. There may be some things that some people aren't willing to admit, but I find often that you find that kind of prejudice very often, especially when it concerns young black students in this country.”
Golden said she had not heard about the 1957 incident.
Posner estimated that 2,000 black students a year attend universities in the Soviet Union, making up the bulk of the blacks among 280 million Soviet people. The Soviet Union does not keep statistics based on race, but the black Russians interviewed estimated that 100 blacks live in Moscow, excluding students.
Posner said Soviet people initially had a “very positive feeling” about black people.
Alexander Pushkin, considered Russia's greatest poet and “father of the Russian language,” was of black extraction. Pushkin' mother was the grand-daughter of Abram Hannibal, who, according to family tradition, was an Abyssinian princeling bought as a slave in Constantinople and adopted by Peter the Great.
But Posner said many Soviet people likened African-Americans to Paul Robeson, a black American actor and singer, who was outspoken about his love for the Soviet Union and who lived and performed here beginning in the 1930s.
“Paul Robeson in this country was a very big man, and he still is,” Posner said. “He was famous and he was communist, and he learned Russian. He sang some of our most famous songs in Russian.
“So the feeling here was that all American blacks were like Paul Robeson. They were all oppressed. They were all very on the left. But all that changed after 1957.”
Contessa Lassar of Imperial Beach, Calif., the woman who was bumped at the Moscow airport, recounted her incident to Posner.
“It was very open hostility, and he was rude about it,” said Lassar, who grew up in Memphis, Tenn. “He almost pushed me out of the way.
“I have never really — and I have said this and caused controversy within my own group — but I have never experienced racial prejudice anywhere in the earth, but I felt it today,” said Lassar, 53. “I really felt it.”
Posner carefully eyed the fair-skinned woman, who wears her red hair in a short Afro.
“Let me answer you as I think I should,” he said. “Most people in this country wouldn't even know you're Afro-American. You to them are white.”

Normalization of 1970s Racism and Discrimination/Persecution Against Disabilities

Should we be expected to sincerely believe, the social climate which produced reporters who strained at length in their headlines to marginalize and defame Mr. Fischer on account of his “autistic traits,” exploiting a disability.. could be anything more than a product of their contemporary social climate? It's time to recognize it is INAPPROPRIATE for the chess world to set before children, around the world, hurtful, discriminatory language which singles out Bobby Fischer for AUTISTIC traits, a target for public mockery and ridicule. If not, how should children learn that it's INAPPROPRIATE to behave like school-yard bullies, cyber-bullying? What is the current Chess Leadership teaching children around the world by their example, every time they refer to a young chess genius who was Autistic as “eccentric” or “temperamental” and the 1001 “adjectives” that marginalize, dehumanize, ostracize, over and over and over and over, again? Fischer was a product of his environment, that he became ANGRY at media and society, instead of reporters, focusing on his gifted qualities, they deliberately chose to seek and focus on any thing negative and trivialize it. If they could find nothing to criticize then they simply “make something up.” Something like this:

Mills said Tuesday that the black community “has been the victim of their very poor taste racist joke” and that the incident could seriously hurt relations between black citizens and police.
Police said when two police officers in the 77th Street Division, a largely black area, brought a huge watermelon into the station it touched off an “inside joke” that wound up with a false crime report inadvertently disclosed to the news media.

These newspaper journalists had the power to speak against such evils, firmly denouncing racism and discrimination, but chose rather to make light of, and “join in”. The same journalists who raked Fischer over coals in international newspapers for obvious, overt traits of Autism Spectrum… and not to mention overt antisemitic ridicule that he kept the Saturday Sabbath and once, while in the lead, had walked out of a tournament because organizers demanded he break the sabbath day… “temperamental!” they declared, because Fischer was devoted to his faith which kept the same Sabbath as adherenths of Judaism. Till this day, certain chess players CONTINUE to repeat, REHASH the degrading insults, PRETENDING their dispicable behavior is acceptable. It's not.

Why Did the Soviet Union Choose Racist Iceland for the 1972 World Chess Championship?

Does anyone still believe there were such great differences between white supremacists in Washington D.C. vs. the white supremacist leaders of the Soviet Union? I'm waiting for a Soviet loyalist to explain how they can (in all good conscience) go on in blind support of the Soviet Union, continuing to rehash propaganda against Robert J. Fischer. If Stalin and his predecessors/successors were all Soviet loyalists claim they were, why did they regularly consort with racists?

Robert J. Fischer was brutally persecuted and maligned as a “bad guy” by the Soviet Union, which was quickly picked up by their thick as thieves allies in Western media and government.

We are told by outspoken hard-left proponents, guilty of glorifying the hammer and sickle (a symbol of repression, slavery and liquidation of millions of lives) what great “progressive thinkers” the Roosevelt-Stalin-Churchill gang were... A lot remains that must be told, and remembered! about that grand old Soviet Union and its western allies!

As Pegler Sees It by Westbrook Pegler
Jackson, Miss., May 25, 1948—On a beautiful Sabbath morning a few weeks ago, the Hon. Fielding L. Wright, governor of Mississippi, broadcast an oration on interracial relations which expressed with benign h*p*crisy the attitude of the southern white man toward the N*gro. He did not express the h*p*crisy of the northern white man towards the N*gro. He did not even mention the sacred name of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, that valiant fight for civic equality and against discrimination, segregation and ostracism. Never in all his 12 years and a bit in the White House did Roosevelt appoint any N*gro to any superior political job in the south and he did sign his name to a property deed at his real estate promotion at Warm Springs, Ga., forbidding forever the sale of his land to any Afro, or its rental or occupancy by any such. In so doing the old joker showed his true attitude. In spite of these facts, well known to them, many southern men and women of the Roosevelt politico-spiritual adherency still insist that he, Roosevelt, was somehow and inexplicably, pure and without fault...”

Why was Jesse Owens deprived of presidential recognition?
Owens later wrote: “My whole life was wrapped up, summed up – and stopped up – by a single incident: my confrontation with the German dictator, Adolf Hitler, in the 1936 Olympics. The lines were drawn then as they had never been drawn before or since. The Germans were […] coming to represent everything that free people have always feared.”
It is not clear whether Hitler snubbed Owens by refusing to acknowledge his victories. The record suggests this reading is wrong, or at best doubtful. There are reports of a Nazi salute, a wave or a handshake. Yet there is no doubt at all about the hurt inflicted on Owens by the neglect of US President Franklin D Roosevelt.
Owens received no telegram of congratulations for his record-breaking haul of medals. On his return, there was no invitation to the White House to shake hands with the President. That honour was reserved for white Olympians. Owens even had to attend a non-presidential reception in his honour with his mother at the Waldorf Astoria using the goods lift.
Was Roosevelt, architect of the New Deal, a closet racist?

Now why again, did the Soviet Union hand-select racist, antisemitic, anti-American Iceland as the choice for the location of the 1972 World Chess Championship? And why did Nixon snub Fischer by deprivation of a proper White House dinner invitation, just as Jesse Owens was snubbed by Roosevelt?

“Most of the first books I read were Russian chess books, but uh, the first time the Russians ever mentioned me, I remember I was 13, and uh, said ‘well he's a very fine, you know, talented young player, but all this publicity he's getting is sure to do damage to his character.’ And then sure enough, from then on, they began attacking my character.”

Those who pretend there was simply nothing out of the ordinary when Fischer was up to challenging the Soviet Empire, obviously weren't regularly reading their daily newspaper. The “crimes against human rights” was the plea Hitler and his band of hacks used to incite Germans and most of Europe into a frenzy against the Jews. “Crimes against human rights” was the tactics Soviet ideology peddlers used to gain sympathy against the “decadent west,” while carrying out their own crimes against humanities. Most recently, with the U.S./U.S.S.R. Cold War a footnote in history, George Bush and ilk resort to the same scare tactics, to incite Americans to support the “Bush War of Terror” and invasion of the middle east, “Seven Countries in Five Years” was the pre-planned battle plan for profit. Now why should Bobby Fischer NOT relate to such propaganda published in American news papers and media and religious outlets… Henry Kissinger sure related, enough to tell Nixon, “…if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern.” Especially our church. Armstrong had us believe the Soviet Union provided special treatment to followers of his WCG cult, citing one case of an East German believer allowed to cross over from territory controlled by Soviet Union, just to join his congregation in West Germany for Sabbath sermons, after which the member faithfully returned home, which was attributed to an “act of God's special protections on members” and just maybe, they did since the WCG was one of the worst kind of mind control experiments in human history.

I have the permission to make it public. It is long. Therefore, I will give only excerpts. “More and more talk is heard about 'accommodations' 'disengagements' and other devices which add up to approval of Soviet domination in Europe . . . The issue is freedom or slavery. The Communist governments impose slavery on the free world. The U.S. government can do nothing less than to bring freedom to the Communist world.”
“I think the crime committed by Kosygin and his Communist puppets in Czechoslovakia was so great . . . that . . . when he refused to withdraw his troops from Prague, the United States should have broken off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union . . . when the puppet, Husake government was set up . . . a government in exile should have been recognized.”
“Nothing should be done for any of the Communist governments unless its effect will be to help the people get relief from oppression.”
So much I quote from the lengthy letter. I know that most people will be amazed. It does not look like Nixon's actual policy at all. Have I really received such a letter?
You can read it for yourself. It is an article written by Nixon in Readers Digest of February, 1964. I have taken only one liberty in transcribing this article: I put Kosygin instead of Khrushchev, Czechoslovakia instead of Hungary, and Husak instead of Kadara.
While I am still waiting for Nixon to fulfill the above promises like many he has not fulfilled, in Communist dungeons Christians are killed by the thousands.
