How a smartphone camera changed the discussion on Clinton's health

The Clinton campaign almost got away with it.

On Sunday at a 9/11 ceremony marking 15 years since the attacks, Hillary Clinton wasn't feeling well to the point she had to make an early exit. Her handlers obviously knew what such an exit would do: Feed the narrative — irresponsibly called conspiracy theory at that point by too many posing as objective journalists — that there really was something more than allergies surrounding the Democratic presidential nominee's health.

So Clinton was whisked away. Reporters embedded in her campaign were left in the dark for 90 minutes as to her whereabouts while the escape from New York was concocted.

And she almost got away without any video footage via news crews showing it.

But as Clinton approached her van, a 50-year-old man by the name of Zdenek Gazda filmed her with his smartphone. Gazda is a Czech immigrant, Clinton supporter, and to my pleasant surprise, a huge New Jersey Devils fan.

It had happened before (at least once) and was captured on a still photo

[Balata]

Technology has advanced to the point the event is broadcast instantaneously. With Facebook Live, Periscope, and Snapchat it’s too late to confiscate a cell phone with a camera, it’s already been sent to the masses.

[longfellow]

He’s already dead.

The Secret Service has physical fitness standards, but assignment to Hillary’s detail requires a separate weightlifting test (dead lift).

Don’t throw out your film cameras. Dig out that old darkroom.

Of course, Hillary could be that Carpathian in Ghostbusters II that was able to start the darkroom on fire when they were developing her pictures.

That should be the least of his worries.

Seriously. He ought to put his affairs in order.

Information about the Samsung 7 has just come out in the last couple days. The kill switch info came out this morning, FOX Business, Varney.

[GreenHornet]

I know, but I would have preferred it come as a total shock to the general public.

A second medical episode in a public setting will pretty much end her candidacy. If it happens again at the debate, no one is going to buy the "she powered through it" spin.

[COBOL2Java]

Who is Zedenek ?................

LOL

[TXBlair]

No. Look at post #21 in this thread and follow the link to Twitter. It is clearly another video, from another camera, that is not the reversed-image video that FReepers keep talking about.

[philled]

Wow— that Cardillo video makes it very obvious that her “stumble” started while she was still propped up and wasn’t under her own power when she was near the curb or van. The cop zooming in at the end is also telling.

[oblomov]

That’s the same video, vertically compressed

[oblomov]

Under what pretext would they confiscate his property?

[BwanaNdege]

"Wanna bet they going to try to implement this post haste so anyone within 500 feet of Hillary Clinton won’t be able to use their cameras on their cellphones on an as-needed basis—whether iPhone, Android, Windows Phone or Blackberry?"

[proust]

Nope. Same video.

[1Old Pro]

The film is devastating, devastating.

[Ditter]

Yes she is in the news more but her people are telling us that everyone has punemonia all the time and that is just not true

How a little honest reporting changed the discussion on Clinton' health.

She’s certainly as paranoid as Nixon was.
