A Brain-damaged US President with Finger on the Nuclear Button?
New Eastern Outlook, journal-neo.org ^ | August 24, 2016 | F. William Engdahl

Posted on 08/28/2016 4:30:46 PM PDT by Jyotishi

Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to surround herself with more scandals than you can shake a stick at, as we said when I was growing up in Texas. We had the Mena, Arkansas scandals when her husband, Bubba, otherwise known as William Jefferson Clinton, was Attorney General and then Governor. Ambrose Evans Pritchard, the British Telegraph investigative journalist did a masterful documentation of that in his The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, when Bill was President facing impeachment in the 1990's. Then there are the Clinton Foundation scandals documented in the 2015 Peter Schweitzer book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, detailing how Hillary abused her office as Secretary of State to steer huge Saudi and other "donations" to the Clinton Foundation on whose board she sat as soon as leaving office as Secretary of State. There are of course the national security e-mail server scandals which a corrupted Attorney General and a corrupt FBI director swept under the rug. This latest scandal puts all others in the background. It's her refusal to release all medical records detailing her medications and true state of health following a brain concussion in 2012. The Democratic candidate is likely medically suffering from irreversible dementia.

On August 8, a New Jersey radio host and blogger released what he claimed were leaked copies of Hillary Clinton's 2014 medical records from her doctor, Lisa Bardack M.D. of the Mt. Kisco Medical Group in upstate New York. According to the documents, Dr. Bardack wrote that Clinton had "early-onset Subcortical Vascular Dementia" following a serious brain concussion she suffered from a fall when she was Secretary of State, on December 7, 2012. After that fall, she spent six months in constant hospital care according to Bill Clinton, who told ABC News in 2014 that her injury "required six months of very serious work to get over." On February 1, 2013 Secretary of State and future Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, abruptly resigned as Secretary of State with no link to her health mentioned.

ABCNews in May, 2014 cited the following quote from her doctors, one of whom was Dr. Lisa Bardack: "In the course of a routine follow-up MRI on Sunday, the scan revealed...a clot in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. It did not result in a stroke, or neurological damage. To help dissolve this clot, her medical team began treating the Secretary with blood thinners..." -Dr. Lisa Bardack, Mt. Kisco Medical Group, and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi, George Washington University.

According to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, Subcortical Vascular Dementia "is a progressive disease; there is no cure." Symptoms include forgetfulness, changes in speech, an unsteady gait, clumsiness or frequent falls, changes in personality or mood. Candidate Clinton has been filmed by the media in recent weeks frequently stumbling and falling for no apparent reason. She often appears on the podium with a man whose function appears to be there in case she loses balance. The copy of Dr. Bardack's 5 February 2014 follow-up examination, if genuine, states that Mrs. Clinton reported to her that the "blacking out, uncontrollable twitching and memory loss have become worse...The patient scored significantly lower on today's test than when tested in 2013...The patient is also showing signs of having more frequent complex seizures."

The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, an internationally renowned center for research on Altzheimers and other brain illnesses, defines "Subcortical Vascular Dementia" as follows: Subcortical vascular dementia, also called Binswanger's disease, is caused by widespread, microscopic areas of damage to the brain resulting from the thickening and narrowing (atherosclerosis) of arteries that supply blood to the subcortical areas of the brain.

Now on August 17, the Clinton campaign headquarters released a statement purporting to be from Dr. Bardack and provided to FactCheck.org. In the statement Dr Bardack is quoted stating that the leaked health documents were not authentic, declaring they were "false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts."

Given the highest issues of the true health situation of a candidate quite possibly becoming the next US President, however, it is not satisfactory that the statement is released by Clinton's campaign to FactCheck.org and is not made directly by Dr. Bardack herself to lay rumors to rest. She herself refuses to reply to press queries. So the quoted denial is not at all sufficient, given the very high stakes for the nation and world. Whatever the truth of the alleged leaked medical report of Dr. Bardack, it is a matter of undeniable record that Clinton has repeatedly been filmed during the campaign stumbling and falling. Poor balance is typically associated with strokes or head injuries. Did she suffer a stroke in December, 2012 that caused her to fall and suffer a concussion, or did the brain concussion cause the stroke? Are her frequent severe coughing attacks a result of anti-seizure medication? If so, which?

Relevant also is a report run in the online site, Infowars, by Paul Joseph Watson, reporting on information provided to his associate at the recent Republican National Convention in Cleveland by a Secret Service "whistleblower," who reportedly stated, based on direct observation of other Secret Service agents detailed to the Clinton campaign that:

"- Hillary has a very serious neurological degeneration which could be Parkinson's disease;

- Around half a million dollars has been spent to specially adapt three SUVs in which Hillary travels to provide lowered floors and disabled access to prevent Hillary from tripping.

- Hillary's staff is so intent on keeping reporters away from Clinton because she is at risk of petit mal seizures that can be triggered by camera flashes;

- Hillary has major problems with balance, difficulties with walking and keeps falling down;

- Hillary's campaign will be forced into making a big announcement soon regarding her medical condition."

That was reported at the Infowars website on 15 August. Two days later, not Dr. Bardack but the Clinton Campaign via FactCheck.org releases a purported denial of the authenticity of the leaked health documents. Was this the major announcement expected? If so, it appears a poor job.

What then do the true records of Dr Bardack reveal? What do the medical records of Hillary Rodham Clinton when she underwent the six months of very intensive treatment reportedly in New York City's Columbia University Medical Center reveal about her condition? What, if any, medication is she on today? Is she on blood-thinners? If so, which and what doses so that competent medical experts can comment on the risks. Anti-depressant drugs? Aspirin?

A candidate for public office, especially the highest office in the nation is no longer an ordinary private person. They have a responsibility to be open about their true medical condition. So far, Hillary Clinton has refused. Not only is it irresponsible, it is alarming, truly scary. The mainstream liberal USA media is not touching the issues in any serious way. We have a right to access to a complete and unbiased analysis of her health and medical treatment. She is a candidate for US President, the one with the finger on the nuclear button. She is not running for City Council of Mt. Kisco or president of the local Parent-Teachers' Association. If her own husband states to the media in 2014 that she had "a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over," this is no minor event.

dementia - also can affect the motor portion of the brain cerebellum. thus making parkison like symptomology. the two halves of the brain - cerebrum will have white plaques in the brain matter. the severity of the subcortical dementia is progressive no cure, medications will barely slow it down. Hillary is physical unfit to serve as president

When I clicked on this article I thought it was going to be a story about OBAMA.

Who will be the REAL candidate? Anyone seeing what I'm seeing: the solo fundraising by Hill with friends, few public appearances, a Highly visible welcome of Biden who descended a big US Presidential plane to hug Hill, then she takes press to film his life story, then patiently sits while he hustles a crowd like a real Presidential candidate.

Biden who sobered up last year is now being vetted. Hill has been given the honor of being nominated. But she is unable to do a press conference, the real kind. She looks swollen and at times, has the blank expression of mild to moderate dementia.

I have long held that Mrs Obama would love to wield the power of Pres. or if necessary, VP.

Be careful what you wish for, a Biden/Michelle substitution would reenergize the Democrat and Independent and Bernie voters.

Hillary as what looks like Tourett’s and they use the diazepam to quell the foul language she has always used.

I have witnessed several grand mal seizures, which are as you described

Petit mal seizures are known as absence seizures, and are just 2-3 seconds in duration.

I’ve never seen anything like HRC’s extreme expressions and head bobbing. What would cause that?

Yes Savage is just another media wacko big ego. All talk show hosts really showed their true colors of ignorance when the trend changed. They are conformists who follow the status quo. They have no core ideas to handle a new path or the truth.

The true media has been narrowed to a few remaining.

The True Media remains at:

Drudge
Breitbart, wnd
The peoples’ comments
Ingraham
Alex Jones
Jim Robinson

That is it folks. When they come for them, there is no one left to protect you.

After a particularly damaging medical incident, we can assume it would be months before Bubba & Co let on that this woman was too incapacitated to even speak.

Thus the very first things the WH would do it tape Hillary recording several generalizing, generic speeches in anticipation of a coma or worse.

We could easily envision an incurious media failing to challenge her whereabouts other than a passing, "Gee, we sure miss Madam President."

Listen up Donald. You’re running against a brain-damaged candidate and if you don’t whip her ass she will have her fat little finger on the nuclear button. So for the safety of all mankind, please emphasize this point at every opportunity. Thank you, Sir.

"Hillary is physical unfit to serve as president"

And *YOU* are unfit for the company of honest men, veterans and patriots.

You are a liar, a fraud and guilty of Stolen Valor.

Post and prove me wrong if you can. We've been waiting ten months for your answer.

The questions will *NOT* go away.

A Brain-damaged US President with Finger on the Nuclear Button?

That is, today, almost irrelevant.
Even before brain damage became apparent, she was a scary megalomaniac schizofrenic quite a bit over the "sane" line from the evidence provided unanimously by everyone who was close enough to her to observe her and to suffer from her first hand.

Universally, the most common remark about her is : The cheerful, chipmunk smile gregarious Hillary, and the private paranoid, demanding, uncompromising shouting, don't-get-near-me pottymouth Hillary everyone personally experiences, are literally two different personalities.

She knows it, we know it, everyone knows it, except her really illiterate, ignorant, electorate base.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

Depends on who she nukes.
The NRC? Riyahd? Mecca? Islamabad? No problem.

Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas? Not so good.

Hillary is not well

The façade keeps slipping...
We thought she was just a doddering, stumbling drunk, but her health is really shot!
We can't have her shaking, crooked finger on the button - not now, not ever!

Hillary's health
