As a thirty-year resident of Chicago with some experience of anarchist and other radical protest meetings, I can attest to Joffrey Stewart's marginal status in that milieu. Although having a mild and pleasant personality in normal conversations, he was well-known, and much disliked, for his paranoid ravings about Zionist conspiracies, both in his nearly incomprehensible pamphlets and his occasional public comments at political events and poetry readings (he was banned from most of them). He was incapable of making any distinction between anti-semitism and anti-Zionism, and I also remember him bringing up assassination conspiracy theories at one discussion, but he got shut down right away, as he usually did.
