James Jesus Angleton went quite mad trying to keep track of the wheels within wheels within wheels of international intrigue. He was paranoid at the end, not in the clinical sense but in the common usage of the term, seeing conspiracies within conspiracies that he was convinced were conspiracies because no one else saw them.
It's not necessarily an occupational hazard, but people are susceptible to it no matter what they know, or you assume they know.
Is am sorry I read that whole post. He is a loon calling for firing squads and more. He needs an intervention by those who care about him. We have people running for federal office that believe the same things, at least a few of them are likely to be elected. We have always had a fringe, but the last time it seemed so close to swallowing a party was with Goldwater. Even then there was a moderate branch of the party to battle for control, which seems completely absent now.
