Harpers Magazine, March, 2002
The following conversation between
Bobby Fischer and radio host Pablo Mercado was broadcast September 11 on
the Philippine radio station Bombo Radyo. In 1972, Fischer became the
first American to win the World Chess Championship; he fled the United
States in 1992 after the federal government indicted him for breaking
economic sanctions by playing a chess tournament in Yugoslavia.
MERCADO: We have on the line a
notable friend, a chess grandmaster--yes, he was the World Chess
Champion--Bobby Fischer, and he would like to air his opinion and give
some commentary on what happened at the World Trade Center just a few
hours ago--it could be an attack at the White House and I think the
Pentagon too. Here he is.
FISCHER: How are you doing, Pablo?
MERCADO: Well.
FISCHER: Yes, this is all wonderful
news. It is time that the fucking U.S. got their heads kicked in. It’s
time to finish off the U.S. once and for all. Everybody knows how
you...how you...uh...
MERCADO: Just give us a few simple
statements.
FISCHER: I was happy. I could not
really believe what has happened. I just can’t be crying about the U.S.,
you know. All the crimes the U.S. is committing all over the world. This
just shows, what goes around comes around, even to the United States.
MERCADO: Hmm. You are saying you
are...you are happy about what happened?
FISCHER: Yes, I applaud the act.
Look, nobody gets that the U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the
Palestinians for years. Robbing and slaughtering for years and nobody gave
a fuck . Fuck the U.S. I wanna see the U.S. wiped out.
MERCADO: Heh heh, right. Well, the
U.S. is a superpower. How did...
FISCHER: Well, probably it is not
as powerful as everybody thought. They were hijacked, those planes. There
has been no intelligence on this. How is it possible that the “great” U.S.
is nobody!
MERCADO: Yeah, that’s what they
have been doing here in the Philippines, and considering the properties
they have right now, you know, business--
FISCHER: What I am really hoping
for, Pablo, did you ever see that movie Seven Days in May?
MERCADO: Yes.
FISCHER: That’s a movie about a
general who tries to take over the U.S. I think it was with Burt Lancaster
and Kirk Douglas.
MERCADO: Yes.
FISCHER: I was really for the
generals, you know, but in the end the president of the so-called
democracy won. I’m hoping for some kind of a Seven Days in May scenario in
the lakes of Ontario, where the country will be taken over by the
military, to close down all the synagogues, arrest all the Jews, execute
hundreds of thousands of Jewish ringleaders, and, you know, apologize to
the Arabs by killing off all the Jews over there in that bandit state, you
know, Israel. I’m hoping for a totally new world.
MERCADO: Really?
FISCHER: Yeah. The U.S. is based on
lies, is based on theft...You have to look at the history of the country:
Get something for nothing. Take and kill. That’s the history of the U.S. A
despicable country, you know...
Democracy is just a load of
bullshit. It is just a cover for the criminal nature of the U.S. But I’m
hoping for the Seven Days in May scenario, where sane people will take
over the U.S., military people. They will imprison the Jews, they will
execute several hundred thousand of them at least.
And ultimately the white man should
leave the U.S., the black man should go back to Africa, the whites back to
Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians who
lived there for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. They kept
the land crystal clean. It was a beautiful country when the white man
came. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called U.S.
Death to the U.S. They are the
worst liars and bastards. This is a wonderful day.
