Madness Of King Bill

(Conspiracy Nation, 06/04/08)A film from 1994, The Madness Of King George, depicts the awkward situation of King George III's deteriorating mental health. Who tells the king, “Sire, you have gone mad”? Todd S. Purdum has essentially done this in his report, “The Comeback Id” (Vanity Fair magazine, due out this week. Purdum's report available online).

Deferentially suggested to King Bill by Purdum is his “mood is not right.” Much “of Clinton’s behavior on the campaign trail this year has been so maladroit as to constitute malpractice...” Congressman James E. Clyburn of South Carolina “finally called Clinton’s behavior 'bizarre.'”

And how did King Bill react to Purdum's deferential suggestion, “Sire, you have gone mad”? Former president Bill Clinton called Purdum “sleazy” and “a real slimy guy.” (“Bill Clinton Assails Vanity Fair's Purdum After Tough Story,” by Jake Tapper. ABC News, June 2, 2008)

In “Xanadu Of Bill Clinton” (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Xanadu.html), the idea of Clinton exhibiting symptoms of undiagnosed syphilitic madness was broached. Purdum's report has doctors guessing at the cause of Bill Clinton's bizarre behavior. In other words, they do not know. A layman's suggestion is that undiagnosed syphilis might be to blame.

Further research on the subject indicates the idea of undiagnosed syphilis causing the madness of King Bill is not far-fetched. Syphilis, a world health concern in the 1970s, was displaced by so-called AIDS. “The CDC estimates that there were hundreds of thousands of syphilis cases during the '70s and early '80s, most of which went untreated. Yet today, very few people with AIDS also have syphilis. How could such a huge reservoir of a highly deadly infection have simply vanished with the arrival of AIDS?” (“Syphilis and AIDS: The Ominous Prospect,” by Colman Jones)

In other words, how was the syphilis crisis solved? It was solved by re-naming it AIDS. This is how the heroin problem was solved as well. A character in the film “Annie Hall” states, “I used to be a heroin addict. Now I'm a methadone addict.”

Some famous historical personages, including Franz Schubert, Benjamin Keith Hamer, Hernando Cortez of Spain, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Ivan the Terrible, have been alleged to have had syphilis. Guy de Maupassant and possibly Friedrich Nietzsche are thought to have been driven insane and ultimately killed by the disease. Al Capone contracted syphilis as a young man. By the time he was incarcerated at Alcatraz, it reached its third stage, neurosyphilis, leaving him confused and disoriented. Syphilis led to the death of artist Edouard Manet and artist Paul Gauguin is also said to have suffered from syphilis. Composers who succumbed to syphilis include Hugo Wolf, Frederick Delius, Scott Joplin and possibly Franz Schubert and Niccolò Paganini. (“Syphilis”, Wikipedia, June 3, 2008)

The insanity caused by late-stage syphilis was once one of the more common forms of dementia; this was known as the general paresis of the insane. (Ibid.)

Notably, in the context of “Xanadu Of Bill Clinton” (op. cit.), Howard Hughes is also believed to have shown symptoms of syphilis. Idi Amin, the Ugandan dictator, is also listed in the Wikipedia reference as a suspected case.

Rumors that Bill Clinton has “AIDS” have been prevalent for years. Tom Heneghan, a close associate of Sherman H. Skolnick (1930-2006), has no doubts: as recently as June 1, 2008, Heneghan has reiterated that Bill Clinton is “AIDS positive.”

Bill Clinton is desperate to find a cure for “AIDS”. This is viewed as entirely philanthropic, but an ulterior motive might be King Bill wishes to cure himself as well.

An additional nuance of “The Madness Of King Bill” involves the possibility of Hillary Clinton being chosen as Barack Obama's running mate. George Stephanopoulos, discussing the possibility yesterday, slyly inserted the thought of fitting “a former first lady and a former president in the [Obama] administration.” So already Stephanpoulos has Bill Clinton playing a key role in the Obama administration! (“Will Obama Pick Clinton for Vice President?” ABC News, June 3, 2008)

Not necessarily dis-favoring Hillary Clinton as vice-president, but Bill Clinton so close to power, given his deteriorating mental condition, raises alarm bells. A solution would be if Hillary Clinton divorced Bill and did not carry surplus baggage with her. The cover story in the June 2, 2008 “Globe” weekly tabloid, “Bill & Hillary $109M Divorce!” implies surplus baggage of a mad former president will be left outside the door. A “secretly negotiated divorce pact” has already been signed, according to the “Globe.”
