This bit tickled me: :roll-laugh1:

Joe Rizzo, meanwhile, remembers that when he was a member of the SSPX, some of the members of the parish exhibited a great reluctance to have their children immunized because they were convinced the government would use the procedure as an opportunity to implant computer chips in their children's legs. Under ordinary circuмstances, the above examples of bizarre and/or paranoid behavior might simply be laughed off. But as the Society is so fond of saying, these are not ordinary times.

Seriously though, while some allegations may contain some truth, there are some fairly serious and vicious accusations there. Does anyone remember that comment about Fr Rizzo's health being made from the pulpit?

I was with Father Rizzo and often staying with his twin brother between the dates in the article. The article is correct, as I remember it. I can confirm first hand experience of some of those events. I cannot specifically find anything in the article that was wrong, to my recollection.

Obviously I did not shadow Fr. Rizzo but I was seeing him every day of every other day for a period of about five months.

Michael J Mazza seems to hang out with EWTN nowadays, or at least EWTN popped up in my web search.

Fr John Rizzo fssp is now working in a parish in the Parramatta diocese (Sydney).

No, Canute, Jones is certainly not out of business. http://www.culturewars.com/SSPX.htm
You can see here however that the articles on SSPX stop at November 2010.

My old friend and fellow student at KU (reference above) Marian Horvat was a member(?) but now is in an offshoot that fronts with a more american flavor to it organizaion, TIA or tradition in action.
