She spoke with a British accent. How would a human being who never heard another human voice or saw another human being move their lips acquire a perfect Queen’s English accent?
Then you dig deeper into her story and she was a radical communist/Marxist, writing books about feminism and socialism. All this from someone pushing on her hand with their fingers? And she was a pilot too?
Uh.
Go back and watch some of the old newsreels of her and see if you believe it. To me she looks like an obvious con woman. She’s matching facial expressions when she’s supposed to be blind. She appears to be looking at things straight out. At one point someone hands her a mic and I think she reaches to take it as if she saw it approaching. She’s got that woman fiddling her fingers around in her palm as if she’s translating what people are saying to her, but sometimes Helen Keller starts to respond before the woman has even finished smearing her fingers around. And when you watch the finger movements, it’s the same nonsense flurry each time. No elaborate system of three presses on this side of the thumb, then a half-rotation of the index finger, followed by a pinch, and that means “socialism”. It’s just random flurry, random flurry, random flurry, and Helen Keller kicks in with her Queen’s English about women’s suffrage.
