Khagler, for your own safety and the safety of others, I must strongly recommend that you seek the help of a mental-health professional immediately.

That was a standard Soviet tactic: proclaim that dissidents were insane and lock them up for "treatment." The US hasn't reached that point yet (no doubt to Valles' dismay), but it's definitely moving in that direction--which neatly brings us back to the original post of the thread.
