'Rigged' Debates? Questions Arise Again Over Lighted Screen At Hillary's Podium
by Tyler Durden Oct 22, 2016 4:55 PM
After the first debate, numerous videos surfaced alleging that Hillary was using some sort of teleprompter built into her podium to assist with answering questions or to offset whatever medical condition she's dealing with. The videos were largely dismissed as "cooky alt-right conspiracy theories" and didn't get much attention outside of those spheres.
But, when similar abnormalities surfaced on Hillary's podium in the third debate, combined with the fact that she spent an awkward amount of time during her answers peering down rather than at the camera, we grew a bit more curious.
With that said, here is a video analyzing the abnormalities from debate 1. Notice that around 18 seconds into this video one can very clearly see a light shut off on Hillary's podium even though there is no such light at Trump's podium.

I think she looks down to hide or reset her wonky eyes. When she’s looking down no one can see her eyeballs.
I'm absolutely sure there isn't one anymore.
What's left of it is in 1,000 pieces 10 feet deep in a land fill by now.
It’s a light for a speaker’s notes. Trump didn’t use his.
She wouldn't be obviously "reading" it if it were "jut a light."
Why do they need a podium?
Why do they need a desk?
Isn’t it supposed to be an ‘off the cuff’ type debate?
The only reason for podium or desk is to hold notes or hold the person up.
If one can’t ‘stand or support oneself’ for an hour or so etc etc etc.
One shouldn’t need notes unless a general script or list was put out prior.
Knowing the name of the 2nd ambassador to Bumfluch is not really all that important during a debate.
If the question is —What do you do if the ‘bigun’ is on the way— shouldn’t require notes or much thought from a bum in the street, much less someone who portrays themselves as being worthy to lead the ONE-TIME, strongest, stablest country in the world.
And if the ‘moderator’ is accepting random questions from the audience, HE/SHE/IT does not need a ‘fancy desk’, notes or teleprompter...all he/she/it needs is a stop watch and a muzzle if they continue to interrupt EITHER of the participants.
After all, the ‘show’ isn’t about HIM/HER/IT it is about the participants.
No, it’s not.
Notice the piece of wood in front of it to obscure it from sight of the cameras? But the cameras were high enough to see the light anyhow. There is no way that any light could shine on any notes on the lectern because that baffle would block the light. Watch the video and notice the light is going on and off all by itself. Notice that people afterwards were removing many items from inside of the lectern afterwards then hiding them, what appeared to look like batteries and other devices. Notice none of this was being done on Trump’s lectern? Nope, this appears to be a device to cheat.
Of course she can cheat, but I find it impossible that a podium which is inspected prior to the show and is in full view of staff could contain a secret device out in the open and Trump and his people not be fully aware of it. Please, the guy, whatever his shortcomings is streetwise and not a fool.

As I mentioned before, could she not have used a projector that was mounted high above the podium. Small ones are available I am sure, and her security people could have easily placed it during site inspection. Text could easily then be projected onto the surface of the podium, and turned off when anyone else approached it.
That said, I think it unlikely, but with Clintons you can never rule it out
It was obvious she was often looking at the podium and reading answers. My wife pointed it out throughout the debate.
******************************
Yep, my wife did too. It pains me a tiny bit and don’t ever tell my wife I said it but I believe that in certain areas, women are more perceptive than men.
On a side note: I’ve been trying to get my wife to join F.R. If she ever joins, I dare not ever tell her my screen name.
I’ve personally met 12-15 F.R. members, my wife has met them too, Mum’s the word.

Its a thin film teleprompter.
This technology has been around foe a decade at least.

A strange remark I read somewhere was that her eyes were weepy and watering, and that it was because she was wearing special lenses on her eyes. Her eyes were very watery...I was thinking maybe the lenses were to help correct that drifting eyeball from whatever condition she has. The person making the remark was sure those lenses played a part in her reading off a screen???
“Did the Trump campaign ASK (demand, really) to FULLY investigate ALL of Hillarys podium?
Her earpieces?”
Not just all that, what about Hillary’s VR contact lenses?
At the end of the third debate, you can see her note pad. It is nothing but scribbles. One doesn’t read scribbles so what was on her podium that she was reading? Uh huh. Mr. Sneaky Guy wasn’t scurrying around for his health and what was that box thing he pulled out from the middle of her podium if all they had were pen and pencil? The crew had the light switch, not the candidates, so they had instructions ahead of time. Wish the janitor was a FReeper.
When one candidate talks, the other takes notes to get a handle on what's said and how they'll respond.
It's bad if they try to wing it and end up forgetting what they wanted to say. So looking down and "reading" stuff scribbled down during the debate is to be expected.
I don't know if they were allowed to bring prepared notes to the debate. It can make things more complicated if a candidate tries to say everything they've prepared and doesn't pay attention to what's going on in the room.
Picture from previous debate where the claim was a teleprompter was there.
And picture of this last debate with notes as well.
They are probably the same set of podiums.
Backlighted LCD — with HRC wearing polarized contacts...
No way HRC would put up with that effect -- unless it gave her a big-time advantage -- like a TelePompter...
It was really apparent in 3rd debate she would look down and look up and then talk, and repeat. She was definitely reading something, canned responses.
pubs and Trump are not dumb....they either knew about the probability of this or didn't care....
Trump won all the debates in my estimation anyway....
