Heimlich Award Dumped in Alabama

Meanwhile Deaconess still promotes Dr. Hankenstein’s bizarro theories

The Marines gave Cincinnati’s own Henry Heimlich a maneuver of their own, expelling his name from a humanitarian award given yesterday in Alabama.  Give the Marines and the Spirit of America festival credit for having the self respect to do the right thing and dump the Heimlich name. Meanwhile in Cincinnati, every local daily paper and TV news department continues to avoid reporting about ongoing medical atrocity experiments being conducted by the Heimlich Institute, experiments which involve our local Episcopal Diocese.  As we’ve come to expect, when it comes to dodging tough stories about the Heimlichs, the motto here remains “Semper Fi.”

Towards the end of June, I exchanged some emails with David Carney, Chairman of the Spirit of America Festival VIP Program.  I just wondered if he knew that Henry Heimlich has been the subject of numerous recent critical articles and broadcast reports.  I also wondered if the Spirit of America Festival approved of Heimlich’s crazy medical theories—like the maneuver for drowning or malariotherapy.

Instead of doing the right thing, Carney wrote back a weird and conspiratorial response, which included the following:

I am always more than happy to reply to media requests from accredited media.

First however, I must ask you to please send me your request in writing on your letterhead stationery, along with copies of your past publications.

Today’s Decatur Daily, however, has the latest updates:

Huntsville’s Marine Battery K was commended for its work for the Toys for Tots program with the humanitarian award this year, in spite of controversy that surrounded the name of the award.

Heimlich out

It was presented as the Spirit of American Festival Humanitarian Award, not the H.J. Heimlich Humanitarian Award. Dr. H.J. Heimlich’s estranged son has criticized his involvement in research that involves infecting people with malaria.

Perhaps a reporter with accredited letterhead stationary finally got a hold of David Carney.  Bottom line: Heimlich’s been dumped in Alabama. 

Meanwhile, Phil Heimlich is still defending his father’s crackpot theories on national TV.  Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that Phil is longtime VP of the Heimlich Institute and he knows all the details about his father’s illegal human experiments in Africa.  Does anybody still believe this guy is qualified for public office, let alone for a Congressional seat?

(Better luck next time, Bob.)
