Why Robert J. Fischer Changed - Circa 1975

My work continues until I spread the message of Robert J. Fischer's decade in the Pro-Zionist, Pro-Israel, Worldwide Church of God... which falsely taught that Jesus and the people of the holy land were "white" people. And, part of that was harrowing stories how the Nazis would arise again from holy writ of prophecy and invade America and Britain, conquer, herd us into the death camps, (the unbaptized like myself and Bobby Fischer) there to coerce us into either accepting the Catholic and Protestant religions which observe the "Sun Worship" (Sun-day), or perish as the Jews did during the Holocaust. We were indoctrinated with those false prophecies for well over a decade. I suffered nightmares as a child, of Hitler personally ordering my execution. It were as if some took joy in telling their tales of what Germans would do to those who kept Jewish holy customs and the same sabbath. It was a brainwash, which kept us in permanent panic of end times prophecies that led to unimaginable (Complex) C-PTSD. Robert Fischer had already developed C-PTSD when he was seen in 1992 and thereafter.

When we began questioning Herbert W. Armstrong's prophecies, myself in 1980s due to the fall of the Berlin wall (we were taught that event would be a sign of the end time) and Fischer experienced the new need to seek out literature and research when the former end time date set at 1972 approached, and failed, when the church was supposedly to escape in an exodus to "Petra" (Place of Safety), prior to the "Great Tribulation"(1972-1975) prior to the return of Jesus.

Bobby Fischer was NOT Jewish.
Bobby was part of our Fundamentalist, Pro-Zionist, Pro-Jewish Christian-Cult sect, the Herbert W. Armstrong cult's Radio Church of God later, known as the Worldwide Church of God.

The media has told many whopper-sized untruths about what the Worldwide Church of God taught to its followers, and I have determined to set the facts straight.

In the mid 1970s when Fischer made his exit from the church, after 15 years of being taught Nazis would invade and capture unbelievers and force-convert them to Protestant/Catholicism, which reveres Sunday as their Lord's day... he, like myself, sought out Nazi literature to actually research what our future-captors were plotting... and what Fischer learned from the literature is that Nazis were NOT invading, nor plotting any invasions, but rather, peddling a century old myth, called the “Judeo Bolshevik Conspiracy”.

Fischer got hooked by that century old deception during the late 1970s.

This change in the youthful, pleasant Bobby Fischer everyone knew occurred AFTER he had abandoned the Worldwide Church of God. He discovered the Zionist-Palestinian controversy studies amidst the literature... but the "Judeo Bolshevik Conspiracy Myth" is planted among such literature, as a ruse by white supremacists to confuse and misguide, as a means to lead the vulnerable on a wild goose chase that claims "Jews" (the religious kind) overthrew Russia, and built the Soviet Union Empire for world domination --- which is untrue. White supremacists financed Trotsky and Lenin to overthrow the Russian people and their democratically elected Provisional Government led by Alexander Kerensky... ruling the people under an iron fist for the rest of the century, spreading fear, chaos, sewing discontent and espionage around the world for the remainder of the century... but most of all, Trotsky, Lenin and Hitler would crush the Socialist movement.

Religious Jews were persecuted in the Soviet Union, just as they (True Torah Jews, Neturei Karta) are persecuted today in Israel.

Anyone who does not acknowledge the "Judeo Bolshevik Conspiracy Myth" is ANTISEMITIC... needs to educate themselves. I denounce the myth as a falsehood!

That myth led to the brutal persecution of Jews, and lends credibility to political agendas pushed by mass media and acquisition of stolen land, camouflaged behind a protected minority status.

Zionism began as a movement comprised primarily by rightwing Christian, Anglo-Protestant fundamentalists, with notorious characters such as John Hagee and Joel Osteen, spearheaded by the notorious Donald Trump, preaching false prophecy how "Jesus will return" when all the Jews have returned to Palestine. The fact is, they don't want Jews living among them, because they're racist.

When Bush was in office, excuses were made to start illegal wars to acquire more land, more resources, stolen wealth in the middle east, and critics such as Robert Fischer who stood in the way were crushed.

Robert Fischer became aware just how racist such religions, and their collaborations in politics are (U.S. law prohibits an amalgamation between church and state!) and how religion and sacred books are used as an "excuse" to invade and plunder lands.

Here, in America we had a quasi-religious policy dubbed "Manifest Destiny" as the foundation upon which to give moral fortitude behind theft and plunder of Native American real estate, "from sea to shining sea". Some being so bold as to even speculate on acquiring Mexican territory for the Anglo-Protestant man's empires...

Jesus Was Not White.

Greed for More Land and Resources, of the British-American Empires

'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.
