PARANOID/PARANOIA: Media Buzzwords to Silence the Politically-Incorrect by Dr. Alan Cantwell.
Excerpt:
Any researcher who has dug hard to find “the truth” knows that it is rarely found in the media. After all, the speciality of the major media is to provide new stories, not to solve the ills of society, nor to bore people with “old news.” Reporters pride themselves in unbiased reporting, by not taking sides or injecting personal opinion in their stories. Few news writers have the courage or ability tend to investigate potentially-explosive conspiracy theories that might embarrass the government, or their advertisers or editors – or even their readers.
Despite these shortcomings, the media seem to take pride in dismissing people as “paranoid” who believe in conspiracy theories of any kind.
According to Webster’s Dictionary, paranoia is a serious psychiatric diagnosis: a psychosis characterised by systematised delusions or persecution or grandeur usually without hallucinations. Paranoia can also be defined as a tendency on the part of an individual or group toward excessive and irrational suspiciousness and distrustfulness of others. People who exhibit such psychiatric traits are paranoid.
A definite diagnosis of paranoia requires the expertise of a psychiatric health professional. A diagnosis is made after a careful history and physical examination of the patient, and must include a detailed drug history and psychiatric observation.
All this is ignored by journalists who indiscriminately label people as paranoid. Their purpose is to discredit a person’s mind and reasoning ability. Unfairly labelling people as paranoid is malicious and evil; and the word can be as hateful as words like nigger, kike, and faggot. When terms like paranoia and paranoid are tossed around in the media, rational communication is no longer possible.
A paranoid person is not normal because paranoia indicates a diseased mind.
In their quest for power, politicians often portray their perceived enemies as diseased. Hitler was a master of this. After securing the cooperation of the German physicians, he rid the Third Reich of thousands of mental and physical defectives by murdering them. When this was accomplished, he turned on the Jews. He labelled the Jews as a cancer that needed to be cut out of a diseased Germany. Thus, the roots of the Holocaust were planted.
Labelling people as diseased is an effective way of discrediting and silencing them.

During the past two decades of media reports on the various theories of AIDS origin, the theory that the disease might be man-made is occasionally mentioned. However, the scientific evidence supporting this theory is never mentioned, and the idea is usually dismissed as misguided and paranoid.
Initially, the media heralded the green monkey theory of AIDS, first proposed by Robert Gallo, the so-called discoverer of the AIDS virus. In a just-published book entitled Science Fictions: A Scientific Mystery, a Massive Cover-up, and the Dark Legacy of Robert Gallo, Chicago Tribune reporter John Crewdson totally discredits Gallo’s discovery of HIV and claims the scientist actually pilfered the virus from French scientists at the Pasteur Institute. Crewdson, who first exposed the scientific irregularities of Gallo’s AIDS research in 1989, claims the resulting lawsuits were finally settled in 1993 and only through the intervention of high-ranking French and US government officials.
In addition, Gallo’s monkey theory has been replaced by the chimpanzee theory. Currently, the new government-approved “official story” of the origin of AIDS is that HIV began in the African rainforest when a chimp virus “jumped species”, most probably when a hunter cut his finger while butchering a chimp. How a Black heterosexual epidemic in Africa could have transformed itself into a disease exclusively found in white homosexual men in New York City in the late 1970s has never been convincingly explained.
Ex-New York City Health Commissioner Stephen Joseph, in his AIDS book, Dragon Within the Gates, also dismisses without explanation “the paranoid theories about AIDS being a deliberate invention of biological warfare.” However, he does note “the scars left by the Tuskegee experiment” in the Black community.
In this notorious government-sponsored syphilis experiment, public health doctors deliberately lied to black sharecroppers in Alabama for over 40 years. The men were never told they were infected with syphilis, and when a penicillin cure became available in the 1940s the doctors withheld treatment so that they could study the devastating effect of untreated syphilis. When the men died, the doctors rushed to get an autopsy, coaxing the family into giving permission by having the government pick up the tab for the funeral expenses. Under pressure from civil rights activists, this racist experiment was finally terminated in 1972.
Joseph writes that the memory of Tuskegee “fueled a conspiratorial theory that AIDS resulted from a biological experiment, gone awry, performed on Africans by the United States government.”
But conspiracy theorists know that government doctors and scientists, and the military
