Dr. James Fetzer has been called many things, some laudatory, others unprintable. Just don’t call him a crisis actor!
Fetzer is well known for doubting the official versions of a long list of events, beginning with the JFK assassination—a list that has grown to include 9/11-anthrax and its follow-up false flags, the Wellstone assassination, the victors’ version of World War II, and several domestic massacres (or ersatz massacres) that Fetzer believes were staged to sell gun control to the public. As major national news outlets reported this fall, Fetzer believes that the Sandy Hook school shooting was “A FEMA drill to promote gun control” employing crisis actors to play various roles, including “grieving parent.”
One such grieving parent, Leonard Pozner, sued Fetzer for libel and won. Fetzer is appealing the decision, which, right or wrong, did seem the product a flawed judicial process.
Though reasonable people may doubt some of Fetzer’s methods and conclusions (I stopped working with him in 2015 due to “irreconcilable differences”) one thing is indubitable: His dogged sincerity. The man obviously believes what he is saying. That’s why when people who don’t know Jim Fetzer argue that he must be some sort of cointelpro provocateur, my response is: Spend some time with him!
Someone named Michael Lewis who runs an anti-Fetzer blog recently gave me a reason to spend some time with Jim. Lewis, writing in the Unz Review comments section, renewed his earlier promise:
DR. FETZER: I HEREBY RENEW MY COMMITMENT TO FUND YOUR LEGAL DEFENSE IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000. YOU NEED ONLY DEMONSTRATE, WITH CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE, THAT YOU AT ANY TIME SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, AS YOU CLAIM.
Jim responded by posting some clear and convincing evidence. Then he called me to suggest I visit his house and look through the trunks in his garage holding his old Marine Corps uniforms and documents.
So on Sunday, after watching the Packers’ exciting comeback victory over the Lions, a friend and I drove to Oregon, WI and rummaged through Jim Fetzer’s USMC uniforms, paperwork, and paraphernalia. Here are the photos I took with my Mac laptop. I will add my friend’s higher-quality photos when available.
Clearly Jim Fetzer has satisfied Micheal Lewis’s demand for “clear and convincing evidence.” If Michael Lewis wishes, he is welcome to use his $50,000 to fly to Madison, Wisconsin and examine the evidence for himself, then subtract his travel expenses from his donation to Jim Fetzer’s legal defense fund. (He may bring along a document expert and subtract those expenses as well.)
If Michael Lewis refuses to fulfill his promise, he will henceforth carry the heavy burden of a reputation as a liar and a fraud (and will undoubtedly be banned from the Unz.com comments section).

I just wanted to remind the readers that in order to grant a legitimate Summary Judgment, the judge must agree with the assertions made by the non-movant or Jim Fetzer in this case. The judge should be able to say, “I read all of Fetzer’s pleadings and forced them to be the truth but then still find that he committed libel as a matter of law. So the judge would have to agree that Sandy Hook Elementary was not the site of a mass shooting but for some other compelling reason the facts still showed that Fetzer committed libel. There are no such other facts in this case. But the judge did not do that, he rather agreed with all the pleadings of the movant, or Pozner, and then granted a Summary Judgment against Fetzer. That makes it a bogus Summary Judgment which will be overturned, if Fetzer’s lawyer is worth a hoot.
While I certainly appreciate Dr. Barrett standing behind Dr. Fetzer and taking the time and effort to verify the information, I do not quite understand …”Fetzer is appealing the decision, which, right or wrong, did seem the product a flawed judicial process.” Can a decision, obviously corrupt, ill-conceived, bias and likely ‘influenced’ as a result of a flawed judicial system ever be considered “right”??
A corrupt government and their corrupt judicial system always consider their actions ”right”. I’m sure the Judge in this case thinks he did the right thing.
Truthfully, Don, I doubt he thinks he’s “right”. He’s just following an agenda and right and wrong do not enter into his idea of morality…
My comment refers more to why Dr. Barrett could possibly consider any gray area in Remington’s decision.
Yes Will, I was kind of conflicted about your comment. Thanks for the update.
It reminds me of Mafia families…if you ask them, they actually have family values and they think they are correct values.
That Judge probably thinks that people were actually killed at Sandy Hook. Very few people are like Jim, you and myself that have actually seriously examined the facts of SH. It was a clever and very diabolical psyop that has fooled IMO over 99% of the entire population of the USA.
Nothing will change unless a major news outlet and/or a top politician spills the beans and reveals the truth.
Yes Will, I agree. I think he meant to say something like, “regardless of whether YOU think it was right or wrong…”
Good article otherwise.
Thanks for the validation.
When you’re Active Duty US military your ID card is printed green. The day you are discharged they take your green ID card and hand you the red one plus a copy of your DD-214 [if you ever lose your DD-214 you can obtain a copy of it from US Government military records storage, which keep them forever ] . We see Jim holding his military Discharge red card. As a military veteran I have the same type of red ID card. Everything about Jim’s military record is legit.
