Description
American Paranoia depicts the plight of those poor souls "lost" in an America that has gotten off track. An America in which "confidence" has turned into a "confidence" game and politicians have become "confidence" men. And positive thinking itself has become a kind of manipulative, "confidence on demand" PR commodity.
"I never doubted for a minute everything would come out all right," parroted an American hostage finally released after being held captive by terrorists for what must have seemed like forever. How absurd, Melody thought to herself as she read his statement in the newspaper. That's just an after the fact publicity statement released to the media to promote a positive (but lying) image of America now that the entire ordeal is over. Anybody can be positive about something looking back (when they're no longer in the thick of things). A statement like this is in no way telling the truth about the day to day struggle to keep your hope, faith and "confidence" in a hostage situation which could take a different turn at any moment.
And this day to day struggle was also true of those held hostage within a lying American infrastructure. To Melody, none of this media fabrication was the truth. It was all government "lies" orchestated to package (and promote) an American "democracy" that has fallen off the Drawing Board (with a loud crash) in so many ways. So Melody takes it upon herself to give her version of the truth. American Paranoia explains (through the eyes of Melody) how, in America today, people everywhere have been trained (from an early age) to keep their mouth shut and to always say all the right things. To always exude "self confidence" even in a situation where what ("Lies")Beneath (or a corrupt, LYING government infrastructure) is preying tooth and nail on the unwary.
Are the One Percenters (and the One Percent of the One Percenters) controlling the so called American "democracy" under the table? No, OF COURSE NOT goes the lying mantra. And if you think such an absurd thing, you're labelled "paranoid." You're "overreacting" and "mentally ill." But that's before Melody goes for the jugular and walks the plank right out of the insipid "picture" (and posturing) of a glowing, "from stream to shining stream" vision of America. American Paranoia tells the story (through the insightful eyes of one woman named Melody) of how the American people have a legitimate (and God given!) right to QUESTION EVERYTHING. And to be legitimately (and righteousely) fearful in a situation of governmental duplicity (and outright "lies") that interferes with their very existence.
And, as such, should not be ridiculed and labelled "losers" by Social Workers and therapists.
