The escalating concealment of Joe Biden’s ongoing cognitive and physical deterioration, now gradually surfacing circumstantial evidence to certain media outlets, parallels an event from over a hundred years ago. The 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, was afflicted by a stroke on October 2, 1919, which nearly incapacitated him. The quick response by First Lady Edith Wilson was to secure her ailing husband’s health condition from media and public scrutiny. Historical accounts suggest that she assumed quite a few presidential duties, effectively acting as a surrogate president.
Edith Wilson went to extraordinary lengths in her subterfuge, including concealing Wilson’s left-sided paralysis beneath a blanket. The conspiracy was far-reaching, roping in even Wilson’s doctor. As documented in a historical record, Congressional members grew agitated as they were consistently blocked from visiting the president. A Senate team was consequently formed, informing a top White House aide of their imminent visit to the president.
Hoping to portray Wilson as articulate and engaged, Edith and several of Wilson’s staffers staged a ‘dress rehearsal’ before the meeting. There were even ruminations of setting him up in an upright beach chair, but they eventually opted for a raised resting arrangement in his bed. Assistance was sought from the Democratic Party’s publicist to aid the façade. Luckily for the conspirators, Wilson was having one of his ‘better days’ when the senators came calling.
He engaged with his visitors, even occasionally showing humour. In response to a senator who said, ‘We have been praying for you, Mr. President,’ Wilson wittily retorted, ‘Which way?’. In effect, Edith Wilson unofficially became the first female president of the United States. She managed entry to her incapacitated husband, made executive decisions, and navigated the executive branch for close to two years.
In a choice of words that could echo with Biden today, Edith maintained she did not make decisions on behalf of her spouse, claiming she only acted as a ‘steward’. Perhaps this rings a familiar bell in contemporary times. If few alterations are made, this could potentially mirror the narrative used to mask Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline, the alleged plot by some high-level staff members contributing to the stratagem, and the helpful media’s denial of any serious health concern with the president.
These cohorts actively propagated the myth that Biden was intellectually ‘sharp as a tack’ and ‘fully engaged’ in his role. It is becoming evident, even to the Democrats, that they’re ensnared in their own web of deception. Their plan of action is to avoid any discussion about past events and instead focus on the future – an attempt to bury the controversy.
Republicans should be relentless in their pursuit of the truth and not allow Democrats to distract with notions of ‘moving on’. After all, Democrats demonstrated their ruthlessness by resorting to impeaching Donald Trump thrice during his presidency over trivial matters. The scenario would undoubtedly play out differently if the roles were reversed.
Prompt action is being taken with the announcement by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee that it will conduct hearings regarding the suspected cover-up. Alleged accomplices in this concealment plan should be summoned to testify about their knowledge of events, timelines, and the reasons behind their deceitful behaviour.
The panel of individuals who should testify should also feature former first lady Jill Biden, who in some ways mirrors Edith Wilson of our era. They will be obligated to tell the truth under oath or face the consequences typically associated with perjury.
A critical question might surround the lack of invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office. As it stands, the public has a right to know the truth, instead of merely digesting literary works from certain media insiders who were part of the conspiracy and are currently attempting to erase their part in this dishonesty.
Given the serious ramifications of this event, there’s no room for rhetoric or distractions. The hopeful envision a future where disclosure and transparency are no longer foreign concepts but an integral part of our democratic process. The people must be made aware of the maneuverings, strategies, and tactics undertaken to mask the truth, in this case to conceal the failing health of a President.
With mounting evidence implicating various individuals in this plot, it is imperative for the Republicans to maintain pressure in their pursuit of the truth. The veracity of claims made during the previous Presidential term need to be thoroughly investigated and all individuals involved held accountable.
The resilience shown by Republicans in demanding honest accountability demonstrates their commitment to upholding fair political play. The attempt to turn a blind eye to previous misdemeanours by adopting a forward-looking viewpoint from the Democrats is alarming.
Going beyond partisan lines, it’s a matter of holding those in power accountable and ensuring the best for the American people. The parallels drawn to historical events serve as a stark reminder of how, over a century later, similar strategies and tactics continue to be employed to keep the public in the dark.
This situation underscores the urgent need for a political culture of transparency and accountability. History always provides us with lessons, and in this case, the alleged cover-up related to President Biden’s health condition draws a bold line back to the handling of President Wilson’s illness. The dialogue must begin by addressing past wrongdoings in order to pave the way for a brighter, more truthful future.
