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.

Why Did Hillary Clinton Lie About Her Health?

To paraphrase her sex offender spouse: Because she could.

Hillary is obsessed with power and becoming POTUS. She will stop at nothing to achieve this. Her health has become a major obstacle and it may be beyond what her spin masters and the sycophantic media can do to cover up her illness. I expect that Hillary will become desperate as she sees herself as being on the threshold of achieving the power she craves and will do anything to hide her health problems. However her health problems will not go away and I could see her having a meltdown during the debates.

If Hillary becomes President look for a violent revolt down the road.

We can’t assume she isn’t still lying, though.

Because you can manipulate a lie,
the truth is set in stone.

Right, she collapsed.
She was only upright because she was propped
against the bollard.
Too bad there wasn’t any video of before she
reached it. Or, maybe there was...

So far we have the video and one still shot of
Hillary walking out, no photographer worth their
salt would fail to bracket their shots, plural.

Way too man Americans lie and therefore support her. They simply do not have a problem with it. Something even more troubling, from my direct experience, we here at work have a HUGE problem with immigrants lying...far more than Americans. It is so bad that it has begun to hinder the business process and has caused dramatic changes in procedure to combat it. That type of people are going to support a candidate that they PERCEIVE to be in their favor.

So, basically, they lie because they find it pleasurable.

I lot of the people with whom I deal at work must be having orgasms.

Forgot to put the context for my statement.

Yeah, I remember that. Unfortunately, very true. How sad.

“She and the press are still lying about her health.”

Yes, actually, in the media today the lies are thicker and deeper than before. It is ALL lies out there today coming from the Clinton camp and regurgitated whole, without question, by the Owned Media.

Every word she says is a lie, including “and” and “the” (apologies to Mary McCarthy, who wrote it about someone else).

Very succinct.

I think that if we review the video and emphasize its true implications to everyone far and wide, Hillary and her lying shills in the MSM are finished.

She didn't merely "stumble" it was a complete collapse -- the aides did not merely help her balance or return to her own standing position, they dragged and shoved her into the van like a sack of potatoes.

What was incredibly revealing was that they did not pause even for a moment to help her onto her feet, to communicate with her or each other about what to do.... both aides (on each side of her) "knew" that they had to lift/shove/drag her into that van just as fast as possible. That is an incredible fact, if we reflect upon what it means for her condition and for what the aides around her are trying to do.

Any normal person would have been helped to stand and stabilize in place. Instead, their mission was to manhandle her into that van just as fast as possible, by any means necessary. Astonishing.
