Dr. Ben Carson, Distinguished John Hopkins Neurosurgeon:

Slip-Sliding Away From the Truth into Confabulation and Sociopathy!

Over the past few weeks, Dr Ben Carson has made some outlandish statements about the Pyramids, Abortion and most disturbingly about his fictitious acceptance to the prestigious military academy, West Point. As most of you know by now, thanks to #BenCarsonWikipedia, we are witnessing a seemingly serious Republican Presidential Candidate turn from sobriety to fantasy/fiction and self-ridicule.

Personally, I don’t care a fig what he believes or says about his past history. It really does not concern me in anyway. However, when it comes to military service or attendance at the prestigious West Point [where I once gave a lecture on American Presidents and their respective pathologies], I decided to blog about Carson’s behavior [or lack of truth]. Clearly, I am not naïve. When Carson continued to present self-contradictory narratives about his position on abortion and his past accomplishments [promoting vitamin supplements for pay—and then denying it], I began to sense that we, Americans, are once again witnessing an African-American sociopath like Barack Obama. It appears that in both gentlemen, the truth is a variable that is completely anathema to their respective characters. Lying and opportunism earmark both men’s ascendancy to power and prestige.

In the case of Obama, I have discussed his CIA-incubated personae in excruciating detail [even I won’t repeat it]. This case of Ben Carson offers a slight variation on the theme of ‘slip-sliding away’ from the truth. One revelation after another has burst on the public stage with a ravishing brutality of truth and Carson can only continue to obfuscate his way out of these lies. In simple terms he is an opportunistic sociopath.

So what is new?
Aren’t most of the presidential candidates pretty much a variance of being an ‘effective sociopath’?

Yes and no.

Either Trump went to the Wharton Business School and was a star candidate, or he was not…true or false?  In the case of Dr. Ben Carson, his past neurosurgical accomplishments places the seemingly awesome John Hopkins Medical Center in the center of public focus. Is John Hopkins as good or prestigious as it would like to appear to the lay-audience? In my humble opinion, it is highly overrated and in need of closer examination.

From personal experience, John Hopkins Medical Center is where I was thrown into a severe hypothermia and hypotension requiring 24 hour ICU attention.  I found that my medical records never reflected this malfeasance of the surgeon and especially the anesthesiologist who was warned by me not to inject anything into my spine [let alone an untested drug]. The point is, like most prestigious hospitals around the USA, they lied and committed malpractice.

Of course, John Hopkins, suis generis, did nothing about this egregious clinical malfeasance; so, as usual, I took matters into my own hands. The particular surgeon in question had trained at the Peter Brent Brigham Hospital where I had some connections based on my training at Harvard Med. I asked for his dismissal from his medical organization and his position as Chairman of Urology at John Hopkins. As it turned out, I had shown my colleagues how this particular surgeon lied about his clinical successes in his famous textbook on Urology by manipulating the data. He documented only his successful outcomes while refusing to use any negative data that might contradict his positive outcomes on nerve-sparing prostatectomies.

Now, based on my experience, I don’t believe any part of the Ben Carson narrative—either starting from childhood—then, skyrocketing to a history of contrived accomplishments in all of his presumed fields of endeavor [surgery, politics, writing, et. al.].

As usual, I hope I am wrong. 

At any given time, I have a sneaking suspicion that Carson’s cash-flows match his opportunistic beliefs and self-aggrandizing publicity. He is a true “Sociopathic Capitalist” who can use history, personal beliefs and presumed accomplishments at will—regardless of its correspondence to the truth or accepted scientific evidence.

Now the American public has a chance to vet out one of their candidates and uncover how far afield he/she is from the audacious concept called, ‘the truth’.

As Ben gets closer to his destination, the presidency, he seems to keep slip-sliding away. Understand that African-Americans have no monopoly on sociopathy---it’s rampant in all colors, religions, races and ethnic groups.

Sociopathy, like a bullet, has no prejudice whatsoever. It just tries to kill its intended target through manipulations, distortions and lies.

You know it as the “Billary Phenomena” !
