As of today's date, (June 8, 2015), 9 days have passed since Secretary of State John Kerry "broke his femur bone" while "bike-riding" in France. We here at The Anti-New York Times (Sugar the Cat and myself) do not traffic in unsubstantiated Internet rumors and hearsay. For that reason, we ignored the early stories about Kerry having been shot and gravely injured in an ISIS (i.e. Israel) assassination attempt.
But after thorough daily searches of the Internet, we have yet to find a single post-"bike accident" photo or video clip of John Kerry. Though a broken femur would be a serious injury, it would not prevent him from waving to a camera as he's being carted out of an ambulance into a Boston hospital; or saying a few words from a hospital bed; or being wheel-chaired to the funeral of Vice President Joe Biden's son. Heck, your reporter here recalls his elderly father groggily cracking jokes from his hospital bed the day after he had triple bypass surgery!
There are stories of Kerry recovering in a Boston hospital, but we have seen neither hide nor hair of the chatty Secretary. Attention-seeking politicians like him adore the spotlight. Why can't he give a "thumbs-up" for the cameras? Why hasn't his famous busy-body wife publicly commented on this? Where is the media on this? When Vladimir Putin disappears for an extended bathroom break, the Western Press is rife with conspiracy theories about his "disappearance". Not so in this case. What's going on here?
The images above are all that has been shown to the public - 8 days now, and counting.
UPDATE / DAY 9 / JUNE 8, 2015
A reader from Boston informs us:
"I'm living in Boston, and go past Boston Medical Hospital everyday. Haven't seen any diplomatic security around, except on Boylston St."
Now, this is still an hypothesis at this point (though a pretty damn strong one as each day passes), but
