Simon Says



11/25/2017

Dear Simon Staff:

I was a big admirer of the late senator and I recall going into a library on the SIU CARBONDALE campus closely observed by what I call “creeps.” This was in the 1990’s, and later (2003-2006) I would stop at coffee shops in Carbondale after a visit to Anna-Jonesboro. I had made the mistake of writing a book about national security. Don’t ever do this!

The central thesis of the book is that your nation is run by shadowy mafia, intelligence agency goons, and big-time drug dealers. Some more specific claims that got the manuscript a “look” at Tom Kean’s Rutgers office and the Graham Center in Florida are:

  1. Your military runs the importation of illegal drugs.
  2. Americans plotted out the 9/11 attacks for decades.
  3. Americans helped Saudi stooges on the ground in California, Arizona, and Florida. (As a bonus, I am well acquainted with some of the “helpers”).
  4. Congress shirks its duty by either lying or covering-up these ugly facts.
  5. There is not much to be done about it, but I made recommendations—in 2006.
  6. Your elections are “rigged,” and have been for generations.
  7. The endpoint of all this high-tech manipulation will be a “happy,” drugged-up, totally controlled electorate that does not even notice totalitarian rule.

I think if Senator Simon were still alive he’d say, “That’s all very interesting. Who is this guy?” According to Trump-haters, I suppose I am but another participant in “The Resistance,” whatever that may be. Poor Don. As might be said in common Cairo Illinois speech, “They’re fixin’ to take away The Button.” (a.k.a. Nuclear Launch Codes). Why? The president is nuts, Bill Hughes is not.

Want a change to the 25th Amendment? First, a quorum of the cabinet decides “The President is a mental case.” Three psychiatrists then interview the nutty president. They vote, like an appellate court. If a majority of the three doctors thinks he is unfit, it goes back to the cabinet. The cabinet votes, and if there is a majority among his or her own appointees in agreement with psychiatrists, the President of the United States is removed from office—immediately.

It would be a fairly high bar, and involve far less drama than impeachment. What does the impeachment process have to do with a raging personality disorder? In theory, a president could have Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder, or even Schizophrenia and do their job better than Donald J. Trump. You see, medication helps with those illnesses, but when you grow up with the “silver spoon” and have everything your way, no pill can fix that. Why not rent The President’s Analyst, because I can’t while involuntarily “stuck” in a Marlborough Missouri motel room for 12 months.

Happy Holidays,


William C. Hughes
