 David
Irving comments: ONE of the advantages
of modern television coverage in real time
is this: we real historians can form our
own private opinions of our trusted and
respected leaders, men like Tony
Blair and George Bush.
As a Hitler
biographer, one thing that struck me was
that medical experts like Professor de
Crinis, of Berlin's Le Charité
hospital, studying the movie newsreels of
Hitler's rare appearances in 1944 and
1945, were able to detect clear signs of
the onset of Parkinsonism.
It was a diagnosis I was
able to confirm by getting expert reports
on two medications prescribed for Hitler
in the last weeks of the war by his
physician Theo Morell, as both his
diary, which I transcribed, and Hitler's
desk-diary, which I also transcribed,
showed: they were rare belladonna-extract
drugs indicated only for that terrible,
debilitating ailment, Parkinsonism, from
which may the Lord preserve me when the
time comes. 
Gordon
Brown, UK Chancellor
of the Exchequer
WHICH brings me to our own
Parliamentary front bench, and
particularly to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, i.e. UK Treasury Secretary,
Gordon Brown.
I am sure I am not the
only person to have had their curiosity
seized by Brown's increasingly odd and
inappropriate facial grimaces and
involuntary muscle twitches. Nobody else
is mentioning it, but what is the Internet
for, if not to trample on unspoken
taboos?
See his puzzling
condition for yourself on the BBC or
C-Span, the next time the television
cameras linger on Blair and his accolytes
in Prime Minister's Question Time.
I watched closely on
Wednesday, November 12, 2003. As His
Master ranted on, the Chancellor, seated
on Blair's left, presented a picture of
rare medical interest: his head lolled,
his mouth fell open, his lower jaw kept
retracting in an odd way, his eyes rolled,
he jerked his neck in a way characteristic
only of clinically diagnosed
schizophrenics, and his eyes drifted from
side to side as though concussed, or under
the influence of something smoked an hour
or two before.
Remember, you read it
here first. Where is
today's De Crinis who will study Gordon
Brown's next TV performance, reach his own
diagnosis, and submit
it -- anonymously if wished -- for our
readers? What will one of you medical
experts tell us about Gordon Brown's
condition?
It does seem important.
After all, the whole free world is still
paying for the medical faiblesses
of President Franklin D Roosevelt
in February 1945.
A MEDICAL EXPERT
suggests by way of response (Saturday,
November 15, 2003) a possible underlying
cause for Gordon Brown's facial quirks --
"I would say tardive dyskinesia, but not
my field: Caused by dopamine inhibitors,
Thorazine( chlorpromazine), or Mellaril,
etc. Symptom is often but not always
permanent. Can be treated with benadryl.
Good observation, just as Charles
Dickens first described hyperhidrosis,
aka the Uriah Heep Syndrome. Dr A.R.
Mackenzie." [More
