Preface

The Styles in The American Politics, in different volumes, try its best to extract and deeply probe the young history of the united states of America in order to study and analyze the cases which lead to specific methods and styles in their domestic and foreign politics, by doing so, we can find the new patterns and therefore foresee the future events in the backyard of the American political scene; besides, we can comprehend the reasons behind the political acts and decisions.

In the first volume of The Styles in The American Politics, we are mainly concerned with studying and analyzing the roots of the paranoid style in American politics and factors which are operatively shaping it; we have done this in close accordance with the historical case-events, instances and incidents in the contemporaneous timeline of the U.S history since the enlightenment upward; a close study and interview with some American scholars have given us this chance to draw the historical scenes precisely; we did our best not to neglect even small events which took place in some specific states; as they say, Omnium Rerum Principia Parva Sunt!

In this regard, we have tried to spread knowledge! concerning the historical events and some historical schools of thoughts and creeds which are of the great importance and have created the today Paranoid style in the domestic and international politics of the United States of America. It should be taken into consideration that such a style did not emerge in vacuum and there were some turning points and incidents; there always have been!

There were undeniably other significant elements besides what we mention in this volume, but the scope of this book is restricted to those notable events; however, the extension to other historical areas related to the main theme and topic was inevitable and we felt the necessity to express them completely as well.

A. 1 Etymology and literal meaning of "Paranoid"

In order to have a better and deeper understanding of new words, we may consider knowing the etymology, meaning, and concepts of them. Paranoid has Greek roots and is made of the prefix "PARA" which means: "irregular" and the root: "NOOS" which means mind; put together, the word paranoos means "distracted". Different dictionaries have offered close meanings of the word "paranoid "which I have mentioned below:

Longman:

Believingunreasonably that you cannot trust other people, or that they are trying to harm you or have a bad opinion of you.

Collins:

If you say that someone is paranoid, you mean that they are extremely suspicious and afraid of other people.

Merriam Webster:

Characterized by suspiciousness, persecutory trends, or megalomania.

Cambridge:

Feeling extremely nervous and worried because you believe that other people do not like you or are trying to harm you.

As it is obvious, you can find some common expressions and keywords which are expressed in most of the definitions, lexemes like "trust", "harm", "suspicious" could be regarded as vital facets of the adjective "paranoid".

Moreover, considering technical psychological issues, when the word "Paranoid" is uttered to an audience, they in their unconsciousness, may connect the abovementioned words and entwine a network; this network functions as a data base for making further decisions whether in personal life or in the field of domestic / foreign politics, Therefore, identifying the way that a particular clinical term has found its way through the political arena is also important.

The resemblance between the clinical term and the political one makes the way easier for the scholars when they intend to decipher a unique style of foreign action/reaction.

A. 2 Clinical Description and extension to the political terms

It is written in Webster that paranoia, the clinical entity, is a chronic mental disorder characterized by systematized delusions of persecution and of one's own greatness.

The magnificent theories of conspiracy are those which the paranoid style, as it is being conceived, is arrayed in and also have the sense of crucial expulsion.

Moreover, we have to consider that the difference between paranoid spokesman in politics and the clinical paranoiac is noticeable:

although they both tend to be overheated, over suspicious, overaggressive, grandiose, and apocalyptic in expression, the clinical paranoiac sees the hostile and conspiratorial world in which he feels himself to be living as directed exclusively against him; whereas Just because people find themselves insecure and recognize the symptoms of paranoia at every moment, these inconsequential beliefs which are not true are potentially harmful to them in a country, a living place and patterns of life. Also, it should be mentioned that the spokesperson now expresses that the more he thinks he is out_ not reserved, the more he is much able to have logical arguments. Where the accent is on patriotic duty is the issue which involve the problem with his signs of anger and morality acceptance.

As the characteristics of the Paranoid style we could mention that it is an unflattering word and is the cause of negative effects rather than positive ones.

These people support or defend what the paranoid representations pursue, but not the truth and that is the reason which puts barriers up to make these people from living with these ideas and also it should be mentioned that generally it is the cause which covers why it is unlikely to reach a settlement. The behavior of the politicians who link every paramount or trivial event to external threats and conspiracy could be illustrated through the paranoid style in the U.S politics, but in its extreme forms. Therefore, it could be concluded that the politicians consider themselves as a nation that is the victims of the enemies' sinister plans

After all we could say that they feel themselves under pressures of imminent harms and attacks, exactly just like the paranoid patients.

In this regard, being conservative and overprotective are the issues which could be considered by the decisions' makers and the governors and also it is required by such style in the politics.

Readers could be helped by some historical instances in order to comprehend this matter in a better way.

B.1 Recent examples and Developmentology

B.1.1 Assassination of the President J.F. Kennedy:

This issue is regarded as a simple and noncontroversial example. Exactly after his elimination there was bill which was mainly sponsored by Senator Thomas E. Dodd of Connecticut and it was the cause of notoriety.

The aim of this bill was to intensify the sale of firearms through mail. At the time of a hearing session, three men from the Yavapai County drove 2500 miles to Washington D.C to vouch against it. There was paranoiac statement among the testifies, one was regarded to be paranoiac statement: "a further attempt by a subversive power to make us part of one world socialistic government" and that it threatened to "create chaos" that would help "our enemies" to reach the power by force. Also, the idea and belief that J.F.K was being turned into a political liability and he technically did make it impossible for the communist to occupy the U.S and it could be mentioned as the other aspect of his assassination which associates it to the development of the paranoid style analysis.

B.1.2 The fluoridation of the municipal water:

In order to make the U.S children and the youth population respectable, a prepared foreign strategy was also regarded by politicians with the tendency towards paranoid-style analysis of the events.

so, it was the way through which the communists and socialists may easily impose their ideologies to them. We should also have in mind that at time of the fluoridation, similar negative views did exist about the matter but it was from the scientific point of view, based on the facts and measurements.

B.1.3 Senator Joseph R. McCarthy: "The enemies from within ".

"The governors of the United States are accused to be the black and cursed devices whose decisions will cause the country to edge of destruction and disaster" said Senator McCarthy in a speech in June 1951.

Also, in a paranoid-style way of speaking, he claimed that these people are actually the procurators of the U.S enemies who –intently – make wrong and destructive decisions. Here is the exact extract:

"How can we account for our present situation unless we believe that men high in this government_ are concerning to deliver us to disaster? This must be the product of a great conspiracy, a conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in the history of man. A conspiracy of infamy so black that, when it is finally exposed, its principals shall be forever deserving of the maledictions of all honest man. What can be made of this all unbroken series of decisions and act… …"

Joseph R. McCarthy had also another long speech in February 9, 1950, in which he stated that the U.S senior officials are accused to be mangling with the communists and also, he noticed "A domestic disloyalty".

B.1.4 Populist Party manifesto of 1895

Additionally, in this statement the leaders of an American populist party discuss about some hands behind the scene of the Gold-Ring movements and the quarrels they have made amongst the gold seekers. Moreover, they believe that such conflicts are being designed in order to distract the people of the U.S from the vital issues and by doing so, those unidentified people can trickle the wealth of the country.

B.1.5 The article of 1855, Texas

This article leads us upward through approaching one of the two main streams which are about our discussed style.

The first people who have been accused in this article are the European monarchs.

Solid facts are not provided regarding the influence of the European leaders by the author and he abridges his speech only to such expressions: “The corruption has found its way into our executive chamber " and warns against the extinction of their political, civil and religious institutions. The imminent threats of the Pope of Rome are the main stream that is mentioned above, this is the issue that will be discussed completely in the following sections in detail.

B.1.6 Massachusetts's sermon of 1798

In this article, the author stated the secret and unknown activities which are employed from the Europeans and mostly the groups whose true intention is to spoil the truth and the true religion of the U.S citizens. This is also based on the develop-ology in next sections.

B.2 Developology

Different variations of the paranoid-style could be pursued through some leading episodes in the history of the United States.

The situation of development is also prepared through these events and episodes. Here, I restricted myself into those which are vital and crucial.

B.2.1 Anti-Masonic movements

B.2.1.1Illuminati movements in Bavaria – Steps You Must take before there!

We are far away from finding a good pace through Illuminati movement in Bavaria! A person may ask: “ What does the word illuminati mean?” there are distinctive advanced definitions for "illuminati" yet the least difficult one says that these individuals are unusually enlightened! And from a lexical point of view, the word is the plural of the Latin illuminatus (“revealed” or “enlightened”). Members of these groups claim to be unusually enlightened, with the “light” attributed to a higher source or to an exalted condition of the human intelligence. The doctrines, practices, and ceremonies of illuminati bunch are largely
