Paranoid Press Review

Something which may perhaps be of interest:

Paranoia is usually the reserve of conspiracy theorists of every political stripe, fans of science fiction, and Black people. We are given a pass because of the horrific treatment meted out to us throughout American history. Slavery, lynching, the Tuskegee experiment and COINTELPRO give us paranoia rights while others are mocked and dismissed for expressing their suspicions of malfeasance by the powerful. But other Americans would be better served if they acknowledged their own need to question authority and to doubt the benevolence of their leaders
[...]
Because the times are ripe for all thoughtful men and women to be suspicious it might be helpful for democracy if all Americans tried to think like Black people. Everyone should start slowly. It isn’t necessary to dwell on the increased likelihood of a mortgage denial or police brutality. Just ask, “If I were Black, would I believe that terror threats always take place when Bush’s poll numbers drop?”

That retardsman is dissing blacktown.net. He's gone mad, I think. Like the people I see wearing coats on a boiling hot summers day, he's become detached from reality. I suppose that's what comes of knowing the truth, or dangerously insightful parts of it. There's always a danger when you know part of the truth that your knowledge will be corrupted and hijacked by evil forces.

It pays to be paranoid, as it says up top. And I admit blacktown.net isn't particularly deep, although I'm speaking largely from memory because my connection won't let me see it. Look at the Brooklyn bridge abduction. The two of them, some kind of intelligence agents, were taken off to a beach and telepathically communicated with by a woman who was possessed by aliens and also concerned about a fish. The theories were multitudinous. Perhaps the aliens are concerned about the environment, perhaps they need something from it, perhaps they'd given the woman psychic powers, perhaps they wanted us to think they were eco-aliens so Mr de Cuellar would be spaceman-friendly. Perhaps, on the other hand, it was all a brain-washing operation. The only thing the aliens have shown a consistent interest in is the human organism.

So it is with blacktown.net. Obscure and unknown in both anti-feminist and blackist communities, there's no reason for anyone to have set it up as propaganda however many years ago.

Of course, it's true there's more than one way to skin a mockingbird. Blue bird of friendliness, like a guardian angel it's, always there. A right-wing government is one backed by the press barons, a left-wing government is one too democratic to line them up and shoot them.

I travelled among unknown men
In lands beyond the sea;
Nor, England, did I know 'til then
What love I bore to thee!
'Tis past, that melancholy dream -
Nor will I quit thy shore
A second time, for I still seem
To love thee more and more.
-- "Lucy", the Divine Comedy
