There’s nothing anomalous about Hillary lying about her health. She lies about virtually everything, which is why, argues, Charles Hugh Smith, she should be replaced with Bernie Sanders. From Smith at oftwominds.com:
This tells you everything you need to know about how Hillary will operate as President: there will be no honesty, transparency or truth, ever.
Hillary’s bid for the presidency is no longer defensible; it’s time to bring back Bernie Sanders as the Democratic nominee.
The issue isn’t Hillary Clinton’s health per se; what is indefensible is her response to legitimate questions of the American public regarding her health.
Hillary Clinton has disqualified herself to be President of the United States because she is incapable of telling the truth about anything. There is no such thing as truth or transparency in the Clinton persona and campaign; everything is an ongoing experiment in perception management.
First one narrative is floated; if the narrative shifts the public perception positively, it is defended to the death, and anyone questioning it is instantly accused of being a conspiracy theorist from the “vast right-wing conspiracy” that has been Hillary’s favorite defense for 30 years.
If this tried-and-true attack fails, then the questioners are accused of being sexist, partisan, etc.
If the first trial balloon narrative doesn’t gain public perception traction, it’s quickly dropped and another explanation is unleashed on a willing-to-accept-anything-as-“fact”-from-Hillary mainstream media.
So when the “overheated” explanation in 79-degree weather doesn’t get traction, then it is dropped in favor of pneumonia, which mysteriously puts most sufferers in bed but Hillary declares that she feels great.
This process of replacing explanations and narratives, interspersed with attacks on anyone who questioned the previous narrative, is repeated until the perception management result is satisfactory. Hillary is clearly incapable of honesty–the word has no meaning, because all communication is aimed at concealing or obscuring the facts of the matter and defending what is visibly indefensible as if perception management is the same as the truth. It is not the same, but Hillary is incapable of discerning the difference.
This reliance on attacking the questioner to delegitimatize what is a legitimate inquiry also disqualifies Hillary. The American public has a legitimate interest in how Hillary Clinton benefited from the Clinton Foundation’s hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions from overseas donors during her stint as secretary of state.
The American public also has a legitimate interest in the health of presidential candidates. John F. Kennedy’s poor health was masked by a compliant media in the early 1960s, but that sort of duplicity is no longer condoned. The American public wants an accurate accounting of the candidate’s health.
As you view the clip of Hillary collapsing, study the body language of her multiple handlers. I’m not referring to the Secret Sevice agents; I’m referring to her private handlers and aides. Note their extreme defensiveness about anyone seeing what was happening to Hillary. Their way of propping her up doesn’t look like it was the first time they had to prop her up; their actions were practiced, automatic.
They are accustomed to propping her up and masking her true condition from the public. Study the clip; it’s all there, in plain view.
Their hyper-wary posture was not just an attempt to shield the candidate from anyone seeing a moment of weakness; their over-protective watchfulness for “eyes on the candidate” is 24/7. Their only job is to mask the truth of Hillary’s condition, whatever it may be.
