What a weird thread on a running message board. What were her PR’s, her VO2Max? I was a rehabilitation engineer for folks with vision and hearing problems. I did, in fact, work with a few people that were totally deaf/blind. I have no idea if Ken’s story is accurate. I just want to make sure to note that the folks I worked with were no different intellectually than sighted people. Of the two deaf/blind folks I worked with they actually ran their own businesses and supported their families. Also, it would be a big mistake to assume people with disabilities are all liberals; very much not the case in my neck of the woods where people actually hung effigies of Hilary Clinton off their mailboxes.
I'm not familiar with Ken LaCorte, but he raises some interesting points in this video.
Keller gave speeches and lectures in 25 different countries though and met a bunch of the famous people of the time. Its possible they all thought her story was interesting enough to hear her for a bit, but not important to investigate or call out.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle - there was some level of Keller moderated through her handlers.
She graduate Harvard. I know on this board, Ivy leaguers have a bit of reputation of being idiots - but I can't imagine that over 4 years no one would have ever called anything into question if there were cheating or fraud involved (though maybe they thought the reputation of having a deaf blind grad was worth just giving her a pass - seems unlikely).
For most deaf blind, just being able to communicate is the gold standard in education. So, if Keller wasn't a fraud, its possible that with sight and hearing she would have been a savant on the level of Einstein or such.
The fact Helen was taught and interpreted by a left wing couple certainly raises reasonable questions. Weird that there are no other Helen Kellers of comparable condition and output.
Thoughtful video. Host welcomes questions and corrections.
Entirely plausible that two libs used Helen to promote their ideology.
2...Stevie Wonder claiming to be blind. Why does he wear a watch?
1... Obama with his Indonesian passport and foreign student scholarship to Occidental, pretending to be born in Hawaii.
Stevie Wonder does have (minimal eyesight). As to Obama, his Admin went nuts tying to scour the web of recordings of himself stating he was was a foreigner and muslim. Remember, he used to be billed as “…the Kenyan Senator,” born in Kenya etc until his handlers decided to abruptly run him for President. Frankly, I’m more amazed that he even went to college, since so many of his HS classmates stated he was a dim bulb who was usually high, among other things. 😎

I bet you believe in the Easter Bunny.
I haven't seen any legitimate videos disproving his existence.
When I was reading the Twain biography and he met her, I thought for the first time that she might have been just a vessel for Anne Sullivan. I had always bought the liberal storyline about her being a miracle. I no longer believe that Keller was really responsible for her own writing.
