50's throwback Mark kermode gives a patronising review of the excellent Zero: 9/11 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/2008/08/review_zero_911_the_ita lian_jo.html

I think the BBC/MI5 is cracking up if they're stooping to this sort of gutter press stuff. I've posted the following reply on their site:

Never was a reviewer more appropriately named!

This is what passes for a review in the Stalinist-style atmosphere of mental illness.

Of course, just like Diana, the Oligarchs & psycopaths have to hint at 9/11 Truthers being mentally ill. It's called 'postmodernism' I think.

Paranoia seems to be a standard allegation against whistleblowers.

It was put about that Harold Wilson was paranoid when he suspected harassment by MI5, which MI5 later admitted to. Wilson resigned in 1975.

At the same time the President of the Universal Esperanto Association, Professor Ivo Lapenna of the LSE, underwent a similar campaign. Lapenna thought that it was coming from the KGB (though I recently had an article published showing that available evidence would suggest MI5/6). He resigned in 1974. The word was put about that he was paranoid.

Shortly afterwards Lord (Harold) Davies of Leek resigned as Chairman of the Esperanto Parliamentary Group. I investigated and concluded that we were under surveillance. Somehow, no-one called me paranoid till 30 years later! I was puzzled as to why Lord Davies had resigned so quickly. He would have known about the MI5 harassment of his friend Wilson (also an Esperantist).

Thirty years on I presented a chart of capital against year to the President of Esperanto Association of Britain for the period in which the association was supposed to be undergoing a financial crisis. This had been crippling the association. He declared me to be paranoid - just as he had declared Lapenna to be paranoid in 1974.

So when I heard Nicholas Soames say that Princess Diana was paranoid, I naturally took that as a tacit admission that he would have known something.
