The Medical Cover-Up Surrounding Hillary Clinton

FBI: Hillary could not remember briefing on handling classified information By Cliff Kincaid The media are returning to their protective mode regarding Hillary Clinton after pretending to raise questions about her health. But very few questions have been answered. Here are some that still linger:

1. Clinton and her media entourage have claimed in the past that her coughing fits were caused by allergies. So what really caused her to leave the 9/11 memorial and nearly collapse?
2. The video of her wobbling and almost falling down led to the claim that Mrs. Clinton was just overheated. However the temperature was around 80 degrees with low humidity. Later it was alleged that she had pneumonia. What is the truth?
3. If she really had pneumonia why not disclose that information on Friday when she was supposedly diagnosed with pneumonia? The claim that she had pneumonia caused by a tough campaign schedule might have engendered sympathy for the Democratic candidate and would not have aroused as much controversy as her collapse after she left the 9/11 memorial.
4. Why should the public believe that the explanation for her collapse was pneumonia when the campaign had previously blamed allergies for her health problems?
5. Clinton at first appeared to be fine at the 9/11 memorial service as she talked to various people. Why did her health take such a dramatic turn for the worse?
6. If she has pneumonia why did she come out of Chelseas apartment looking so chipper? What happened to her in the apartment?
7. If pneumonia is supposedly the cause of the recent coughing fit what caused the previous coughing fits?
8. Who was the mysterious woman shown with Hillary as she left the 9/11 memorial? This is the woman who appears to be taking Hillarys pulse and asking her to squeeze her fingers which appears to be a neurological test.
9. Clinton had a concussion and blood clots in the past including one in her brain. Where is the proof that she didnt have a stroke on 9/11?
10. Why didnt she go to the hospital where she could have been evaluated by objective doctors and nurses?
11. If she does have pneumonia which can be contagious why was she exposing herself to Chelseas children and the public?
12. Why was an email sent to Mrs. Clinton from a top aide about a drug used to treat symptoms of Parkinsons disease?
13. Why was this email disclosed by WikiLeaks rather than Clinton?
14. Why did Hillary seem to be the only person at the event wearing sunglasses with blue lenses? The report Parkinsons Disease: Effects of Colored Glasses on Movement Times" cites anecdotal evidence that wearing blue tinted glasses helps relieve the symptoms of Parkinsons disease.

One day before her collapse The Washington Post had accused Donald J. Trump of being a sexist for questioning her health. After the health debacle the Post tried to give the impression that it was finally investigating with a story headlined Hillary Clinton has not been quick to share health information." The story failed to note that one of the biggest concerns involves the fact that the FBI documents released in her email investigation said she couldnt remember receiving a briefing on handling classified information. The story also didnt mention the email she received about Provigil a drug to treat symptoms of Parkinsons. This is not the first time that the media have covered up for a Democratic presidential nominee. The press helped John F. Kennedy and his physician cover up the fact that he was dependent on cortisone for Addisons disease a very serious disorder and may have been using amphetamines. Before he ran for president on the Democratic ticket in 1988 Michael Dukakis was a candidate for governor of Massachusetts in 1982. His campaign had concocted a false cover story about his wifes drug problem. The press was told that Kitty Dukakis was recovering from hepatitis at a friends home in Minnesota when she was actually a patient at a drug-treatment clinic. Despite the ongoing cover-up of Mrs. Clintons medical and health problems some Democratic Party leaders must suspect or know she has a serious disorder and may not be able to fulfill her duties as President. Yet the media are either trying to move on or change the subject to Trumps tax returns. In order to try to make us forget what the world saw in that terrifying video of her near-collapse the giant corporate search engines like Google are stacking the deck against results that can push the public and the media to seek more definitive answers. As Seton Motley noted Google searches for Hillary Clintons he-" did not produce results about her health problems but rather about Hillary Clintons headquarters" Hillary Clintons health plan" and Hillary Clintons healthcare plan." In addition to playing down the nature of Hillarys health problems ignoring the follow-up questions or changing the subject this is how Mrs. Clintons supporters in the media and elsewhere hope to sabotage the publics right to know how sick she really is.
