Since Yesterday

 Since yesterday....this intel release of information concerning Hillary Clinton has been on my mind.....suggesting that she was “allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers.”

The timeline?  (2008 to 2016 is implied).

So I've been pondering this.

I worked with a intel-officer (mid-80s) who'd been a successful psychologist in Florida from the early 1970s to 1979.  

We got to talking one day, and I asked him....why enter the Air Force, if you were successful.

Well....he told this 10-minute long story.  After college, and getting licensed....he found this nifty clinic that paid well, but he was the junior-junior psychologist for them, and they had a particular 'group' of customers that he needed to serve....a group of more or less.....about 120 women.

These were women ranging from 30 to 60....housewives of successful businessmen in Miami.  What they basically needed....was a hour-long session about every two months, with a prescription to be filled (mostly Valium).  

About three months into this era.....he came to the realization that they were mostly doped-up for the majority of the day....very disgruntled and often unable to handle 'reality'.  At some point, he discussed this matter with the 'boss' of the clinic....that maybe it'd be better to focus the women on leaving the husband and getting a divorce.   He was told in blunt words....this was not the desire of the clinic to meddle in such things.

So for about four years, he made the best of the situation.   He did clear a fair amount of income for the period, and one day...asked the Air Force recruiter about jobs.....anything except medical stuff.  His Spanish was perfect, and he seemed to have a good understanding of Latin American politics (his dad came from Columbia).

This brings me back to the tranquilizer story.  Looking at things...how Bill brought Hillary to  Arkansas to be part of this campaign effort....I think Hillary got fairly disgruntled about the Little Rock situation, and the lack of intellectuals around the 'circle'.   It wouldn't shock me if a year into this effort.....she found some doctor like my associate, and got set up with Valium.  Probably every five years....they introduced a new (better) drug, and she progressed.  

Will any of this tranquilizer story get traction?   No.  If you were to review CNN, NPR, ABC, or CBS.....none of them will mention this story.  

Any of this really mattering today?  I would imagine.....if Hillary had won in 2016 and 2020....we would have endeared eight years of lite-headed Hillary....saying some goofy things (like Kam), and just accepted things as being 'normal'.
