Fact-based SUSPICION, not wild paranoia

Suspicion can be a negative, even unhealthy thing when it is not based on some solid, tangible degree of fact, history, or a sense of repeating patterns within a situation.
Once again, a focus on cui bono (who benefits) gives focus, direction and possible purpose to the object of one's suspicions.
Cui bono represents the motive behind a potential crime or possible surreptitious manipulation of a situation.

 
Mindless, baseless suspicions that are never defined or rooted in a set of related circumstances and/or facts, can evolve into paranoia, which can be corrosive. Paranoia can result from intellectual laziness and an unwillingness to research or investigate the problem that a person may be anxious about. This laziness precludes any sense of informed or educated suspicions, that would be justified by at least some layer of known facts.

Our society is rife with intellectually lazy citizens who normally buy into the "Official Explanation" given by media with little resistance.
It is standard behavior for many Americans, who are easily convinced of the "harm" done by Gay Marriage when none has ever been proven to anyone, in any way, or of the threat posed by distant middle-eastern terrorist groups, or country, or a scary disease, or aggressive foreign leader, who the media may be portraying as some existential threat, that week in the news, in any case.   These people may become paranoid to a degree that makes them useless as informed, voting citizens in a representative political system.
Now----Whose cui bono is that?  
Food for thought.

In any case, suspicion, as a tool to interpret a reality we face, 
has been enshrined within our American
political/legal/policing system. 
And if it's good enough for our leaders, bosses and authorities to use, then it is certainly useful for the citizenry as well.

In summary...

Suspicion without any basis in fact or evidence = Paranoia.

Suspicion based on known facts, patterns or tendencies, as part of a process of actual investigation = A valuable  tool.

Media Manipulation ...

Is this just funny, or is it possible evidence that at least some news is controlled by a Central Script Writer?

Could this be happening with some other major news stories as well? ======================================================================

With all of these examples ...
Just ask yourself: Cui bono (who benefits)?

Then: Can you discern a possible motive from this?

Laurie Becklund dies at 66; former L.A. Times reporter, author 

 ...............................................................................

 

 Laurie Beckland, on the right, with the murderous, US-supported Dictator of El Salvador, Roberto D'Aubuisson (center),  in 1982. 

.................................................................................

What She Did:

  The Reagan Administration insisted to the press and the world that the epidemic of killings in El Salvador of activists, democratic reformers and priests (all targets being on the Left) that had been occurring there in the early 1980s were being done by "unknown rogue groups with no discernable allegiance". 

It was all a lie, as Beckland PROVED beyond all doubt the involvement of the heavily US-backed Government's own Death Squads, set-up largely with help from US advisors and fund$ from the Reagan Administration itself. 

The Reagan Administration had been 

caught in a lie.  

                                                                 

The Reagan administration had argued that the death squads were rogue groups with no discernible allegiances, but Becklund proved otherwise. - See more at: http://www.capitalgazette.com/topic/la-me-laurie-becklund-20150210,0,1386520.story#sthash.wXavHlpq.dpuf

"They call it Door of the Devil," wrote Times journalist Laurie Becklund in 1983, "a craggy spot not far from downtown San Salvador where the earth ends, plunging into a sheer, mist-filled ravine."
Becklund had been reporting from El Salvador for nearly four years and had finished a series of stories that would change America's perception of the violence ravaging that country.
"It's always a little foggy," a former police officer told her, "and there are these big rocks you can stand on top of to throw somebody over."
The officer worked for one of the country's intelligence agencies, and his matter-of-fact description of murder was a revelation. The Reagan administration had argued that the death squads were rogue groups with no discernible allegiances, but Becklund proved otherwise.

The Reagan Administration continually (and dishonestly) said that the death squads were composed of independent rightists, unknown and unknowable, with no affiliation to government or army. We were to prove differently. - See more at: http://www.niemanwatchdog.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Showcase.view&showcaseid=00126#sthash.FNJ7ZpUv.dpuf

FEAR is an ancient tool of those who control their society

“Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” 

― Benjamin Franklin

 

 Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.
—Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince, 1513

THE POWER OF FEAR

Always look for the cui bono  (who benefits?) behind the fear that is being generated by the use of a scary enemy (terrorists, Ebola, Putin, Iran, "social--eezum",  "red states", "blue states", etc etc).
THINK about it before you simply respond to it, like a conditioned lab-rat. It is not always easy. Some folks cannot do this at all, but sadly, convince themselves they are doing it, 
just the same. These people end up justifying their own manipulation, by rationalizing their fear as more real or reality-based than it actually is.
