Why Did Hillary Clinton Lie About Her Health?
theweek.com ^ | September 12, 2016

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign just made a massive error. We'll know within the next few weeks if the error will prove to be catastrophic.

On Sunday, Clinton abruptly left a Manhattan ceremony marking the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. A video shows her shakily stumbling while trying to get into a van to leave. The candidate's physician later offered this explanation: Clinton has had an allergy-related cough for some time, and during an examination on Friday, the Democratic nominee was diagnosed with pneumonia, put on antibiotics, and told to take time out to rest. She became overheated and dehydrated during Sunday morning's event, which led her to collapse. She's now home in Chappaqua and on the road to recovery.

Compare this timeline to details from Hillary Clinton's public schedule and behavior over these same two days.

After Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia and put on antibiotics, she did not, as her physician recommended, take time out to rest. Instead, she attended a fundraiser featuring Barbra Streisand. Then on Sunday morning, she attended the 9/11 commemoration, became "overheated," and woozily wobbled rather dramatically. Ninety minutes later she exited her daughter Chelsea's apartment building to tell the press she was "feeling great." The Secret Service permitted a young girl to come over to give the candidate a hug.

It was only a few hours later when her campaign finally announced that she has pneumonia and is recovering.

The most charitable reading of this timeline is that her campaign — presumably with the blessing and perhaps insistence of the candidate — fully intended to keep her illness a secret from the public. Let's be clear about what this means: Her campaign intended to lie.

Lying is part of her health/mental illnesses.

90 minutes after the collapse she was seen walking outside claiming to feel just fine...

Pneumonia???... I don’t think so.

Because she is crook and her lust for power will not fade until she does.

She lied for a couple of reasons. the first one is that she wants to be POTUS so badly it hurts and even if she croaked the day after the election it wouldn’t matter. the other reason that telling lies is a reflex action, like blinking or breathing. When in doubt, she will lie about anything, even unimportant stuff like the fact she was named after Sir Edmund Hilary. Its what she does and she is expert at it.

It’s her default mode. First response it to lie about anything. Kick into secondary damage control mode when it doesn’t work.

Has been the whole Clinton M.O for four decades, and frankly has worked pretty damned well for them.

Why did Hillary lie about her health?

************************************************

She lied for the same reason she’s been lying about everything else:

If she told the truth about her emails, she’d have to admit to a boatload of felonies.
If she told the truth about Benghazi, she’d be admitting she knew Americans were not secure, that she left them to die and that she was involved in gunrunning.
If she tells the truth about her health, she’d have to admit to rapidly advancing Parkinson’s Disease (a very likely scenario from all the info available to date) & she would not be electable.

She has to lie about everything to stay politically viable and that is all that matters to her & her enablers.

It is as normal as blinking your eyes....she lies the same way. It is normal reflex for her.

“Research on lying clearly indicates that on a purely psychological level, people lie for two main reasons: to avoid the unpleasant or to get something positive they want that they think they wouldn’t get if they were to ask for it in a straightforward fashion (such is the case with manipulative behavior).

In my experience, however, I have also known people who persistently lie because they find an embellished or distorted story infinitely more stimulating or “titillating” than the unvarnished truth. So, basically, they lie because they find it pleasurable.”

She “stumbled” like Frazier “stumbled” when Ali hit him for the last time.

Author Damon Linker is saying the exact same things I’ve been posting since yesterday.

The timeline of Hillary’s activities over the last 72 hours puts the lie to her doctor’s claim that she has pneumonia.

They are STILL trying to hide Hillary’s real health issues.

, even unimportant stuff like the fact she was named after Sir Edmund Hilary

A fact is a true thing. Mrs Bill's claim of being named after sir Edmund is NOT a true thing. It is a contention or a claim. It is NOT a FACT. When you call it a fact you belie your own claim that it is not true. Conservatives give away their arguments to the left over and over again by using that phrase inappropriately. The content of a lie cannot be a fact except in the liberal alternative universe where they want us to think we live.
