“If everyone is our enemy, then we are not paranoid.”
Famous words by Henry Kissinger, arguably one of the most obviously guilty, unconvicted war criminals in modern American history. The man who aided and abetted Chilean assassins in killing Orlando Letelier with a car bomb in Washington DC in 1976. He is more commonly known for his involvement, along with his buddy Robert S. McNamara, in prolonging the Vietnam Conflict.
The United States government has a history of either assassination or assisting the assassination of dissidents. To the point where I highly doubt the probability that a known American dissident just happened to crash his car into a tree and die in the middle of a very important phase of discovery in his journalistic endeavors.
Call me crazy.
Proverbs for Paranoids by Thomas Pynchon:
1. You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures.
2. The innocence of the creatures is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the Master.
3. If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they dont have to worry about answers.
4. You hide, they seek.
5. Paranoids are not paranoids because theyre paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.
