Muhammad Ali hardly spoke publicly during the last decade of his life because of his Parkinson's Disease. What a tragic loss for the world. Ali was funny, insightful, inspiring, brilliant!
There is much talk that Hillary Clinton's aberrant behavior -- bouts of coughing, physical weakness, public freezes, and the constant attendance by a mysterious "doctor" at all media events -- signals that she too is suffering from this incapacitating affliction.
If Hillary Clinton is elected and does indeed have Parkinson's Disease, we can only hope that this horrible, debilitating disease quickly progresses, ravages her nervous system, that she is immobilized and silenced by it, rendered completely mute. Because too often what comes out of her mouth consists of self-serving lies, treacherous distortions and fabricated narratives, threats to other world leaders and nations, destructive fantasies unhinged from any moral anchor or basic decency, these being so extreme and strident they've become an existential threat to the human race and evidence she is totally detached from reality itself.
On the other hand, this Parkinson's business -- although very convincing evidence and analysis has come to light -- at this point is all speculation. I'm not a doctor and I have no way of knowing the state of her physical health. She's certainly not telling.
What is not a matter of speculation is the state of her mental health.
Much has been made of the video of her laughing about Gaddafi's anal rape with a knife, mutilation, and death at the hands of monstrous terrorists. "Oh look, how jaded she is, how she celebrates such brutality." Indeed, even the most tactless diplomats in the past would have sugar-coated this barbaric incident with some well-crafted language:
"It is, of course, unfortunate when any national leader's life is ended this way. Mr. Gaddafi may in our view have been less than acceptable but he worked hard for the people of Libya. Such savagery cannot be condoned under any circumstances."
Ms. Clinton apparently sees no need to embrace such standards. Then again, neither do other hardened criminals and psychopaths who, unburdened by considerations of shared humanity or unaware even of the "optics" of such insensitivity, take joy in the suffering of perceived enemies, thus view the taking of human life as a sport, or an occasion for a joke.
Hillary Clinton is the textbook definition of a sociopath.
What are the key symptoms of sociopathy which I believe apply?
- Glibness and Superficial Charm
- Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims. - Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." - Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests. - Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way. - Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises. - Incapacity for Love
- Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. - Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. - Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Hillary Clinton sees herself as some grand chess master, shaping the world -- in particular the Middle East -- to her liking and that of Israel. Her muscular world view and truculent foreign policies are parallel to and probably inspired by the geopolitical ramblings -- by the way, since recanted -- of Zbigniew Brzezinski, author of the seminal neocon manual for world conquest and global empire, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives. Hillary Clinton's evident ambition is to sit in the history books next to Margaret Thatcher, Disraeli, Alexander the Great . . . perhaps even more fittingly, Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan.
This selfish woman will do anything and everything to promote and deify herself. No cost is too great, no amount of human suffering will be spared, everyone in her path will either genuflect or be destroyed. She will do whatever it takes -- even if it requires nuclear war -- to achieve the ascendant place in the history books she believes she deserves. A warped sense of destiny fueled by narcissism and lust for power demands it.
This is the real sickness of Hillary Clinton. Two aspirins and a glass of orange juice won't help what ails this demented creature of pomp and entitlement. Nor will pumping her full of Levodopa. It's temporary and cosmetic. Hillary's pathology is enduring and systemic.
Electing this monster -- as opposed to the monster served up by the Republican Party -- to the presidency would be like injecting leukemia cells into the body politic of America. The country is already being hollowed out from the inside by the greed of those she identifies and associates herself with. It's both appalling and frightening to see the MSM regularly cast this ruthless, self-serving, social climbing lapdog of the .01% as a "progressive" and the candidate of the common people. Are we really that stupid? That gullible?
This election is sure one for the books.
It's as if America keeps searching for that one final nail for the coffin of its misguided and increasingly floundering empire.
Hillary Clinton might just be that nail.
