rysmiel and I walked out of the Metro and saw a couple of people sitting behind a table with a sign saying "Impeach Cheney First." Underneath that, it said they were followers of Lyndon LaRouche, so I just muttered "them" as we headed for dim sum. Then we passed the table again, on our way to Maple Delight for ice cream, and noticed more of their signage, which advocated defeating the Bush agenda by building a land bridge across Beringia. (They didn't use the word Beringia, or any geographic names, but the illustration was clearly of Alaska, Siberia, and the island arc connecting them.) My only guess for what they were doing in Montreal at all is that the Old Port draws a lot of tourists: the harpist busking opposite the cathedral had a US dollar bill at the bottom of her case under the coins.
Friday morning, exiting Penn Station on my way to work, I passed people with a sign that started by asserting that "9/11 was a smokescreen," then went on to add that "Cabot was here before Columbus" (not implausible, depending on exactly how you define "here"--Columbus never came as far north as New York), and advocate annexing the U.S. to Mexico. They had a URL, but I just walked past muttering the phrase that's in the title of this post, and don't plan on checking out their web site. (One of the local dailies had the front-page headline "barking mad," which I think triggered me to think of these people's lunacy in terms of that London reference.)

I do agree with you that everything is still in the judicial process and there's no clear proof. Certainly when I made that original post back in 2003, nobody really knew what had happened and it seemed plausible that the group had "only" tormented and terrified Jerry into killing himself. I don't know why the German authorities are being unhelpful in investigating things. But the British police keep conducting new investigations and every few months there's a new story in which more evidence emerges that points towards a deliberate, orchestrated murder. It's still unclear exactly who was behind it with all the tangled bits of cult in several countries trying to hide their connections to eachother.
Good point about giving young people the tools they need to protect themselves without making them feel stupid.
