The media and Hillary seem confused that working class people don't like or trust her. She says she will strengthen unions; but, they are already dead and we all know it. Closing the barn after the horse has fled is merely a hollow action. She looks down on the working class and calls them white racist men who are too stupid for their vote to count because they don't feel she will work for their interests too.
If Hillary were a real Democrat she would start by saying she is eliminating tax cuts for companies that outsource jobs. If she cared about American workers she would refuse to sign anymore trade agreements or promise that the agreements were for two years and that if they resulted in American job losses than the agreement would be voided. If she truly was a progressive then she would do what was done in the early 1900s and break up the monopolies (like Teddy Roosevelt did) and regulate business; but, it is hard to take that position when her husband deregulated and allowed the monopolies to come about while outsourcing jobs.
As much as the media, big business and Hillary want to avoid discussing jobs in America it is always what elections are about. It is the economy stupid. Instead of attacking people who are concerned about job losses and anti-immigrants and xenophobes tell them how you are going to motivate companies to create jobs in the United States for Americans.
She won't be doing those things because the multinational companies that are her donors don't want those jobs here, they want those jobs in countries where they don't have to follow environmental laws or pay taxes. The reason Hillary and the media have chosen to focus on social issues is because they will not get votes if they focus on the economic issues that affect us all. Sanders supporters focus was on economic issues and they know the difference.

Why Trust the Media Anymore?
The Economist - A giant problem. The article goes into how we are seeing a consolidation of companies to the disadvantage of small businesses. In the early 1900s we determined that monopolies were anti-capitalistic and began limiting their power. Today we seem to promote it at out own expense.
MSN - USA Today - Ford CEO fires back at Donald Trump on jobs to Mexico. Ford comes out and says it is moving all it's jobs making small cars to Mexico. Trump has said that if he is elected they will have tariffs put on them when sold here because they are shipping jobs overseas. The CEO of Ford's response is to say it won't hurt American jobs as they will produce more trucks in America. Does anyone really believe that sending manufacturing jobs to Mexico helps Americans or that Ford will pay taxes on their profits, Apple doesn't.
MSN - Market Watch - Hello, self-driving cars; goodbye, 4.1 million jobs? Maybe those 4.1 million people can all become waiters or doctors or computer programmers. Nope, we don't need that many.
USA Today - Is 70 the new retirement age? Here is a quote from the article, "More and more Americans are embracing the new reality that is retiring at 70 -- or later." No people are NOT embracing working till their 70 and it does not have to be the new reality. USA, like the others, is just one more shill for the corporations and banks.
Paste - Not So Fast: The Media is Biased FOR Hillary, As Coverage of the Clinton Foundation Proves. The media is trying to say that it is wrong for being Pro-Trump and anti-Hillary. Huh? Have you read or seen one positive report about Trump? Me neither.
Fox - Trump, Clinton quickly refer to New York blast as bomb; Trump takes brunt of media criticism. Both called what happened in New York a bomb; but, Trump was criticized for it. More interestingly, CNN (which attacked Trump for saying it was a bomb), edited out Clinton's use of the exact same word. NewsMax - Clinton's First Response to 'Bombings' Edited Out by CNN. Here is the actual video of what Clinton said that was later edited out by CNN.
Politico - Clinton tweaks Trump over Manhattan blast response. Her comment was that he should not have jumped to the same conclusion she did; but, even that is not right as BOTH were briefed and told what had happened prior to their statements.
The Federalist - Hillary Clinton: Donald Trump is a Traitor, and These Attacks Are His Fault. Two points. Firstly, how does she know what led the bomber to this attack. Isn't she the person who doesn't jump to conclusions. What if it turns out that it was her actions that led to the wars in the middle east that set this guy off, what will the media say then? Nothing. Secondly, isn't this the same woman who blamed the Benghazi attacks on a YouTube video even though she knew it had nothing to do with what happened. She failed to protect the Ambassador to Libya and blamed some idiot who made a bad YouTube video to deflect people examining her actions, she is if anything consistent.
AP - Exec: Most Lyft rides will be in autonomous cars in 5 years. He does say not to worry as they will still have some human drivers.
MSN - White, Working-Class Voters Vex Clinton. Funny how the party that was supposed to be for the working class now considers them deplorables.
The Emmys was last night and ended up being all about making fun of Donald Trump. Last week Jimmy Fallon had Trump and Clinton on and he was attacked by the media for not attacking Trump. Fallon has never done harsh interview nor been very political and he doesn't have to. The mistake the media is making is that they are being universally partisan and misleading. Getting caught in the act as they were regarding the recent New York bombing means that even those who like their position will know that they are liars and cannot be trusted.

Why No Allergy Medicine for Hillary and Other Lies
I have allergies and I assume some of my readers have allergies. My doctor has prescribed nasal mists and pills to deal with them. My sister has allergies and uses medication for it which works very well according to her. I don't take mine, it is a choice that I have made. Apparently, Hillary has made the same choice or her doctor is an idiot. Allergy medicine is nothing new why wasn't it prescribed for Hillary?
Let me try this again. If you were running for President and had to speak at conventions and knew that you coughed a lot when you had allergies, wouldn't you take the medicine? That was the first story we were given. The story did change and it became a claim about Pneumonia. Allergies do not cause pneumonia. Pneumonia is either bacterial or viral. Why didn't her doctor know that? Why is the media saying that her allergies contributed to the pneumonia?
I will get back to Hillary and the media in a minute. I will hit 90,000 hits this month or next. I am already at over 89,000. In all that time, the Pimpernel has never made a single penny from this blog. I have never "monetized" this blog or allowed any advertisement. I cannot think of more than two occasions where I even promoted something and I received nothing for those moments. In fact the restaurants that I mentioned don't even know I had been there and that I had a blog. This blog is mostly about exposing lies and garbage. I regret that I do not spend as much time talking about technology as I had; but, this is an election cycle and that is where the media manipulation is the most obvious.
I want my readers to be the best informed about how we are manipulated. It turns out not monetizing was the way to go. The United States is planning turning over ICANN (the brain of the internet) to the United Nations. This is not a joke. I have been writing about ICANN for years on this very blog. ICANN is a group based in Marina Del Rey that sets the internet protocols so that you can find websites by name. Google would not work if it was not for ICANN and links would not work either. Well, the conversation that is being held is about having ICANN be turned over to the U.N. and at the same time prohibiting sites from making money if they direct readers to other sites to read the news or watch videos or whatever. I don't monetize this site so it will not effect me; but, it would effect news conglomerate sits like Drudge or Huffington Post.
My point is simple, if they do change the law it will not change this blog, I will continue to reference people to other sources keeping in line with the history of attributing your sources as is required in scholastic writings and journalism. Now back to Hillary.
Bill Clinton was the one who signed the law that allowed the media to consolidate into the hands of six companies and they appreciated it. Now, they are attempting to do the same with internet news resources and Hillary supports that. Bill and her were never in favor of an open and diverse press that might question them or the establishment. The corporate controlled media owes them and are paying them back by spinning every news story in their favor.
The Washington Post - The man who discovered CTE thinks Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned. The doctor presumes that she was poisoned by either Trump or Putin. Really, nice trial balloon.
Hillary did not cough because of an allergic reaction. None of the videos showed her sneezing from "seasonal" allergies. Seasonal allergies are due to pollen, that is what makes them seasonal. I have seasonal allergies and am allergic to many perfumes. I know which is effecting me when it is effecting me. Seasonal allergies can cause coughing; but, it also causes sneezing. In either case they have medicine for it; but, they gave up on those stories days ago and instead have turned to bacterial pneumonia. Go to Web MD and look up what the treatment for allergies is and what the treatment for bacterial pneumonia is. Guess what, there are some serious questions to be asked of her doctor.
I don't know for sure what is wrong with Hillary; but, I know we are still being told stories. The media has even said that it is sexist to ask what is wrong with Hillary. That is the media of today. It is more concerned with spin than the real news. The biggest challenges facing us are not even discussed in any real detail by the media, the media is used to placate us. Bread and Circus, just like in Roman times.
I will show again just how theatrical the news is and how scripted and staged it is. Watch the video below:
Now I want you to put on your thinking cap. Hillary faints and it is blamed on the heat (a whopping 78 degrees or so), she goes to her daughters house, drinks water and leaves after 90 minutes or so where she is met by a little girl who is allowed to run to her for a photo op and the Secret Service doesn't stop the child or even get close to Clinton. That is not Secret Service protocol for a presidential candidate. Do you see any Secret Service people around her...why not? Did they take a break? She fainted and was surrounded by Secret Service agents; but, 90 minutes later is allowed to walk through New York with no Secret Service agents near her and a child is allowed to approach her with nobody responding.
Don't accept what you see, question whether or not it makes sense. You question when you watch movies, the media is movies. The media is a story telling device and this story is not real. Here is a simple question, why hasn't the media said who this young girl was, how she ended up there or why she was allowed to approach Hillary who supposedly had pneumonia. Which parent or parents was she with and why did they allow her to run to a presidential candidate without accompanying her? This is called a photo op and she claimed she was fine and it was a "great" day in New York, she didn't complain about the weather, it was later that she returned to her home for a few days to rest. That means she lied when she said she was fine. She only lies, that is the problem.

Political Stuff and Selling You Lies
Yahoo - Exclusive: Inside Sheldon Adelson’s plan to build an NFL stadium in Las Vegas.
Lets start with some just pure nonsense. A Las Vegas wants to build a $2 billion, 65,000 person football arena in Las Vegas; but, wants the city to pay for $750 million into the project which is $100 million more than he would be putting in. In order to achieve this they want to increase taxes. Now, we are constantly told that Las Vegas is in economic trouble and that they cannot pay their pensions; but, they can raise taxes to pay for an arena. Funny, this is the same thing going on in Detroit with the new hockey arena they want to build using tax payer money. Would you rather have more city services or a football arena that does not pay back the residents?
Huffington Post - Donald Trump Could Get Booted Off The Ballot In Minnesota. They don't believe in democracy and don't want your vote to count. Remember if these games are played against the Republican nominee, they will be used against the Democrats next.
Observer - WikiLeaks’ Guccifer 2.0: Obama Sold Off Public Offices to Donors. I find it funny that Obama and Clinton are worried about how Trump would act regarding international affairs, yet, while she was Secretary of State people who paid $2 million could become ambassadors to other countries. Can you say, "Pay to Play". If you can't, don't worry, a DNC legal representative called it that in an internal memo.
Newsmax - Donna Brazile Cautions Not to Look at New DNC Hack. The DNC chair believes the best thing to do is just ignore what WikiLeaks has published and tell people not to read it. A true believer in a non-informed public.
Bloomberg - Greenspan Worries That ‘Crazies’ Will Undermine the U.S. System. I find this hilarious and Greenspan was the head of the Federal Reserve who fought regulating derivatives, was in favor of deregulating the banks and pushed for looser lending standards that resulted in the biggest economic crash since the great depression. I hate to tell him this; but, it was the crazies who crashed the economy and he was one of them.
Washington Post - In Las Vegas for his wife, Bill Clinton cautions against voting based on ‘road rage’. Uncle Bill says just accept the status quo and don't let the fact that you haven't seen a raise in years upset you or effect how you vote.

Freedom of Speech, the Media and Preachers.
So here is a short post. I spent about five years preaching, I never got paid, it cost me money and I never talked about politics. Theoretically, if you are a preacher and take a tax exempt status as a non-profit, you are not allowed to talk about how people should vote or you risk losing your tax exempt status. Ignore the first amendment about freedom of religion. By the way, the first amendment is about freedom of religion and says NOTHING about separation of church and state, try reading the actual constitution and you will see this.
Now here is where it gets weird. Businesses can give money to politicians for their campaigns and take a tax deduction. It gets better, businesses can give contributions to political action committees and get a tax deduction. So, why can't preachers promote the same thing and keep their tax exemption?
We used to require mass media to give opposing views and did not allow them to just promote one side of an argument. The media now claims that they have no requirement to be objective or even respectful of opposing beliefs. Propaganda has been legalized and objectivity has been sold to corporate interests. Think about that.

Media Massaging the Truth About Clinton
I want to talk about the science of spin or propaganda. Propaganda is the selling of an idea to the country using lies or manipulating the information. Spin is not so much lying as carefully wording to imply things that are not true. Neither approach is objective or intended to be. The problem is that most people pick a candidate or personality and will automatically defend them or attack their opponent without considering what the issue is. People tend to assume the best about who they support and the worst about their opponent and this has been demonstrated many times.
If I were to go to a Clinton rally and ask if her supporters were in agreement with her wanting to kick out any immigrants who committed crimes they would say it made sense. If I were to go to a Trump rally and said that he only wanted to kick out immigrants who committed crimes they might tell me that it was only illegal aliens or that they agreed with that policy. The fact is that the law gives us to kick out any immigrant who commits certain felonies and Bill Clinton enforced that policy and my guess is that Trump would support that law even in regards to legal immigrants just like the law says. The point is, that is already the law of the land and it has never been questioned, it is also not what is discussed by the media.
The immigration question is not being discussed, sides are being taken by people who do not know the issues. The issues are simple, should we have open borders, should we all be allowed to come and go as we wish from and to any country we wish? Good luck going to England, Mexico or any other country without a passport by the way. See what happens if you do get to that other country. We do not discuss the issues, we see who is better at spinning the questions and answers. The problem is that is all the media does anymore and the latest news regarding Hillary Clinton is just an example of the media spin.
Lets do a quick rough timeline. About two months ago certain conservative media people began questioning Clintons health. The response from the corporate media was that this was nonsense and a conspiracy. To prove their point Hillary was asked to open a pickle jar on late night television to prove she was healthy. I want you to remember that, the idea of her being sick was ridiculed. Now mind you she had previously fainted, hit her head and developed a blood clot in 2012. That is not in debate and I posted links to those articles in my last post that were written at the time.
Now some personal information. My father and I returned from Las Vegas one weekend and he left my house to go to his own. At 3:30 the next morning he called me to say he did not know where he was and had checked into a hotel room, he was scared and he did not scare easily. I went and picked him up, took him to a hospital and we discovered he had a mini-stroke also called a tia. I have been around people who have had strokes, Hillary did not have a stroke. If she had had a stroke, even a mini one they would not have let her walk away an hour and a half later. Remember her doctor visited her at Chelsea's house, how did her doctor get their so fast and why was she not seen there? I do not believe Hillary had a stroke or even a mini-stroke, they look different too.
One of my relatives suffered a strong brain concussion, he fell off a motorcycle and into a curb. That is much more similar to what happened to Hillary when she fainted and hit her head which resulted in a blood clot back in 2012. As a consequence of his head injury he ended up having seizures. I was there when he had his first seizure and it was a couple of years after the head injury. He and I were sitting in his home, he was on a bar stool and I was on the couch. We were in the middle of a conversation when out of nowhere he said, "Uh oh", his eyes went blank, he crocked to his side and dropped to the ground head first. In fact his head went right to the concrete floor. I have seen him have seizures since then; but, not the kind where he went out like the first and when it happened I TOOK HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
I have to say this, when we were in Las Vegas once, my daughter fainted. Now mind you the temperature was over 100% and she had not eaten all day; but, I was next to her and caught her. We got her to her chair, fed her, got her hydrated and took her to her room where she rested and we watched over her. Now we have been told that people knew since Friday that she had pneumonia. Well if you patient has pneumonia and passes out three days later, shouldn't you send them to the hospital for tests? I got sent to the hospital by my doctor because my blood pressure was too high and I wasn't running for president.
Everything I said is true and responds to the baloney being sold to us by the media; but, they missed something. Hillary's doctor was the one who dealt with her previous concussion and blood clot four years ago. They are so busy talking about the pneumonia that they are missing the bigger issue that brings into the question her doctor's judgement. WHY WOULD YOU LET A PERSON WHO HAD A BRAIN CUNCUSSION AND CLOTS IN HER BRAIN GO TO HER DAUGHTERS HOUSE RATHER THAN A HOSPITAL FOR TESTS. You might say that the doctor examined Hillary at her daughters house; but, does Chelsea's home have testing equipment? If your patient was running for president, had a history of blood clots in her brain and had just collapsed wouldn't you want to at least get her some head scans? To this day there is no report of Hillary going to the hospital and getting her head scanned.
Here is one of my points. I believe it is possible Hillary is suffering from a seizure disorder which was exacerbated when she hit her head in 2012.That is what the episode she had reminded me of, it reminded me of my cousin. I took my cousin to a seizure clinic for testing. I should point out that his seizures have not stilted him in any way and that they gave him medication to deal with it (some worked and some made it worse) and he hasn't had one in quite a while. He does not appear to have any long term damage from it either. There are people who have epilepsy that hold down jobs and it does not effect their performance. If Hillary has seizures then it doesn't mean she cannot function.
If we hadn't been lied to all the way then if in the beginning of this process Hillary had come out and said that because of an accident in 2012 where she hit her head, she sometimes has small seizures; but, that it had no impact on her mental abilities, do you really think her supporters would have left to vote for Trump? The media and the politicians will not be honest with you because they don't trust that you will see the truth in the same light as them. The news is supposed to be there to tell us the FACTS and let us decide what it means. When the media views it's job as telling you WHAT to think then they have become propagandists, that is the definition of the word.
The Pimpernel is not here to tell you what to think. The Pimpernel is here to point you to facts that can be found in people's own words and then tell you what I think about it. You should think whatever you believe is reasonable, that is why I provide links to the source documents from their own websites.
Here is where we are at. Something is wrong with Hillary and her doctor already knows what it is or she would have been in a hospital by now for testing. It is not pneumonia alone, though she may or may not have that too. It can in no way be related to her history of blood clots in her doctor's mind or the doctor would be responsible for extreme malpractice for not testing for mew clots. If someone has a history of seizures after a head concussion, you wouldn't necessarily send them to a hospital.
Now lets look at some of the corporate mainstream media reports on her health.
Washington Post - The man who discovered CTE thinks Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned. I should point out that the suspects are the Russians and Trump. Does that qualify as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media?
Washington Post (last Tuesday) - Can we just stop talking about Hillary Clinton’s health now? Prior to Sunday when her doctor said her coughing was due to allergies the media claimed it was because she was on the trail and talking so much, must have been the press conferences. Why didn't the corporate mass media take any interest in her health or show any concern? The women had previously suffered a head concussion and blood clot and was known to be on blood thinners. My father was on the exact same blood thinner as are many others.
Politico - Clinton scare shakes up the race. This article is from Sunday. It says, "The announcement late Sunday by Clinton’s personal physician, Lisa Bardack, that Clinton had become “overheated and dehydrated” after being placed on antibiotics last week came after a day of frenzied speculation about the candidate’s health and its impact on a tightening race." I want you to understand this, on Sunday after Hillary collapsed, her doctor said it was due to overheating and dehydration, not pneumonia, her doctor claimed that later and claimed it had been diagnosed days earlier, then why didn't the doctor say that at first, why did the doctor lie or was politico lying?
New York Post - Clinton team avoided ER to conceal details of her medical treatment. I forgot to mention, they didn't merely fail to take her to the hospital, they violated protocol and the NYPD's instruction to take her to the hospital.
New York Times (2015) - No Serious Health Issues for Hillary Clinton. Read the part where it says, "While Mrs. Clinton experienced blood clots in 1998, 2009 and 2012, tests showed that she did not have any underlying disorder that put her at an increased risk of the clots. Tests are performed to monitor the dose of Coumadin she takes and ensure that she has not experienced side effects, Dr. Bardack wrote."
YouTube - Clinton Admits She Has Fainted “A Few Times” Can't Remember... Watch the video it is only 44 seconds, she admits that this has happened before because of dehydration, then she has she only remembers two times then she says a few times. Do you know how many times you have fainted, I do and my daughter does and my ex-wife does (she would faint each time she got pregnant).
The Daily Caller - Bill Clinton Says Hillary Has Had Fainting Spells ‘On More Than One Occasion’ [VIDEO]. Here is a quote from the article regarding what Bill Clinton said AFTER they had already claimed it was caused by pneumonia, "“Because frequently,” Clinton began, according to CBS’ website, before correcting himself, “well not frequently, rarely — but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated.” Get it, he wasn't on the new talking point yet and was still repeating the last one. LOL.
The Pimpernel can spin and quite well. The Pimpernel wrote for politicians and business; but, the Pimpernel always believed in what he was fighting for, it was never for money or to hide the truth. The Pimpernel sought balanced information. Both side of the truth and I trust in the totality telling the real picture. I don't sides telling only sides and never did that myself.
Whatever is wrong with Hillary, we have not been told the truth yet and that is sad. If it were to turn out that Hillary had seizures on occasion, I would say that is not a reason to not vote for her. I might say her lying about it was; but, having seizures is not a sin nor disqualifying.
Let me be open and clear, I would not vote for a Bush or Clinton or any other person who puts corporatist internationalist interest above those of the citizens of the United States. I was a Bernie Sanders supporter until he did the sell out thing. I had not determined if I was going to vote in this election once he dropped out. I was deciding on whether or not to vote in this election at all. Now I am going to vote and it will probably be for Trump.
I don't believe Trump can change things, I wish I did; but, I don't. I want to see universal healthcare, I want to see people given a safety net that they can live on, food stamps, welfare, disability, retirements, I am for all of those things and I like a good minimum wage and am in favor of eliminating tax cuts beyond the ones for home loans and having children, I would get of the rest. I certainly would not give a United States tax break to anyone outsourcing jobs. I am for controlling our borders just like every other country and I believe in kicking out people who commit serious crimes and are immigrants. If we can put you in jail for 20 years even if you have kids born here, why can't we kick you out just because you have kids born here? I am also against trade agreements that don't respect our laws and make their own like NAFTA, TTP and others.
I am going to vote for Trump just to tell the corporate media that they cannot control the discussion anymore than kings could stop people from having similar conversations in the past. I don't know what the future brings; but, I know it is the death of a relevant and objective media, it committed suicide when it decided objectivity was not what it was selling anymore.
If I were to go to a Clinton rally and ask if her supporters were in agreement with her wanting to kick out any immigrants who committed crimes they would say it made sense. If I were to go to a Trump rally and said that he only wanted to kick out immigrants who committed crimes they might tell me that it was only illegal aliens or that they agreed with that policy. The fact is that the law gives us to kick out any immigrant who commits certain felonies and Bill Clinton enforced that policy and my guess is that Trump would support that law even in regards to legal immigrants just like the law says. The point is, that is already the law of the land and it has never been questioned, it is also not what is discussed by the media.
The immigration question is not being discussed, sides are being taken by people who do not know the issues. The issues are simple, should we have open borders, should we all be allowed to come and go as we wish from and to any country we wish? Good luck going to England, Mexico or any other country without a passport by the way. See what happens if you do get to that other country. We do not discuss the issues, we see who is better at spinning the questions and answers. The problem is that is all the media does anymore and the latest news regarding Hillary Clinton is just an example of the media spin.
Lets do a quick rough timeline. About two months ago certain conservative media people began questioning Clintons health. The response from the corporate media was that this was nonsense and a conspiracy. To prove their point Hillary was asked to open a pickle jar on late night television to prove she was healthy. I want you to remember that, the idea of her being sick was ridiculed. Now mind you she had previously fainted, hit her head and developed a blood clot in 2012. That is not in debate and I posted links to those articles in my last post that were written at the time.
Now some personal information. My father and I returned from Las Vegas one weekend and he left my house to go to his own. At 3:30 the next morning he called me to say he did not know where he was and had checked into a hotel room, he was scared and he did not scare easily. I went and picked him up, took him to a hospital and we discovered he had a mini-stroke also called a tia. I have been around people who have had strokes, Hillary did not have a stroke. If she had had a stroke, even a mini one they would not have let her walk away an hour and a half later. Remember her doctor visited her at Chelsea's house, how did her doctor get their so fast and why was she not seen there? I do not believe Hillary had a stroke or even a mini-stroke, they look different too.
One of my relatives suffered a strong brain concussion, he fell off a motorcycle and into a curb. That is much more similar to what happened to Hillary when she fainted and hit her head which resulted in a blood clot back in 2012. As a consequence of his head injury he ended up having seizures. I was there when he had his first seizure and it was a couple of years after the head injury. He and I were sitting in his home, he was on a bar stool and I was on the couch. We were in the middle of a conversation when out of nowhere he said, "Uh oh", his eyes went blank, he crocked to his side and dropped to the ground head first. In fact his head went right to the concrete floor. I have seen him have seizures since then; but, not the kind where he went out like the first and when it happened I TOOK HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
I have to say this, when we were in Las Vegas once, my daughter fainted. Now mind you the temperature was over 100% and she had not eaten all day; but, I was next to her and caught her. We got her to her chair, fed her, got her hydrated and took her to her room where she rested and we watched over her. Now we have been told that people knew since Friday that she had pneumonia. Well if you patient has pneumonia and passes out three days later, shouldn't you send them to the hospital for tests? I got sent to the hospital by my doctor because my blood pressure was too high and I wasn't running for president.
Everything I said is true and responds to the baloney being sold to us by the media; but, they missed something. Hillary's doctor was the one who dealt with her previous concussion and blood clot four years ago. They are so busy talking about the pneumonia that they are missing the bigger issue that brings into the question her doctor's judgement. WHY WOULD YOU LET A PERSON WHO HAD A BRAIN CUNCUSSION AND CLOTS IN HER BRAIN GO TO HER DAUGHTERS HOUSE RATHER THAN A HOSPITAL FOR TESTS. You might say that the doctor examined Hillary at her daughters house; but, does Chelsea's home have testing equipment? If your patient was running for president, had a history of blood clots in her brain and had just collapsed wouldn't you want to at least get her some head scans? To this day there is no report of Hillary going to the hospital and getting her head scanned.
Here is one of my points. I believe it is possible Hillary is suffering from a seizure disorder which was exacerbated when she hit her head in 2012.That is what the episode she had reminded me of, it reminded me of my cousin. I took my cousin to a seizure clinic for testing. I should point out that his seizures have not stilted him in any way and that they gave him medication to deal with it (some worked and some made it worse) and he hasn't had one in quite a while. He does not appear to have any long term damage from it either. There are people who have epilepsy that hold down jobs and it does not effect their performance. If Hillary has seizures then it doesn't mean she cannot function.
If we hadn't been lied to all the way then if in the beginning of this process Hillary had come out and said that because of an accident in 2012 where she hit her head, she sometimes has small seizures; but, that it had no impact on her mental abilities, do you really think her supporters would have left to vote for Trump? The media and the politicians will not be honest with you because they don't trust that you will see the truth in the same light as them. The news is supposed to be there to tell us the FACTS and let us decide what it means. When the media views it's job as telling you WHAT to think then they have become propagandists, that is the definition of the word.
The Pimpernel is not here to tell you what to think. The Pimpernel is here to point you to facts that can be found in people's own words and then tell you what I think about it. You should think whatever you believe is reasonable, that is why I provide links to the source documents from their own websites.
Here is where we are at. Something is wrong with Hillary and her doctor already knows what it is or she would have been in a hospital by now for testing. It is not pneumonia alone, though she may or may not have that too. It can in no way be related to her history of blood clots in her doctor's mind or the doctor would be responsible for extreme malpractice for not testing for mew clots. If someone has a history of seizures after a head concussion, you wouldn't necessarily send them to a hospital.
Now lets look at some of the corporate mainstream media reports on her health.

Clinton Collapses but You Should Focus on the Media
The video is from CNN. It is titled "Video shows Hillary Clinton leaving 9/11 event early". Now I have not discussed Clinton's health, though I know many have, because at her age (68) it is not uncommon to take pills. Specifically, she has had a number of coughing fits; but, certain pills have a tendency to dry out one's throat. Some of the pills I myself take require additional hydration. This video is different, it is not of her leaving, it is of her collapsing.
Here is what we do know. Hillary Clinton in 2012 fell and hit her head. Not long after she suffered a blood clot in her head and had to take blood thinners. My father suffered a blood clot and ended up on the same thinners so I am familiar with them. To be clear, I may not like the Clintons but I wish them no ill will and do hope that her collapse today was just heat exhaustion as her camp has claimed; but, I do have an issue of how the media is discussing it.
CNN talked about it; but, rather than discussing her health issues, they tried to make it about Trump. That is insanity, Watch the video, she did not stumble, she collapsed. Prior to that she could barely stand while leaning against a concrete bollard.
When Clinton suffered the clot in her brain, the media first reported that it was probably in her legs because she had a history of them in her legs and they said that you would not give blood thinners to someone with clots in their brain.
MedicineNet - Hillary Clinton Hospitalized With Blood Clot.
It turned out that was a lie and she did have a clot in her head.
The Guardian - Hillary Clinton's doctors say blood clot is located between her brain and skull.
Not long ago Trump had a bad week in the press and numerous articles were written about it under that title. You will probably not see that type of article on Clinton. In the last week she has had to deal with a bad performance at the Commander in Chief forum, a continued failure to hold real press conferences (almost a year now), her falling in the polls, her calling a quarter of Americans racist, sexist, xenophobic and more, and now she collapses at the 911 memorial. That is a bad week; but, for me the issue is the media and whether they will point that out.
As I was writing this a new article was posted on Politico.
Politico - Hillary Clinton has pneumonia, doctor says.
Apparently the Clinton camp is now claiming that it was discovered by her doctors on Friday that she has pneumonia and that it is the cause of the coughing fits and the fainting. Wait a second, previously we had been told that the coughing was nothing more than her allergy to Donald Trump, what changed? Was she lying then or is she lying now or did she never stop lying about her health. I personally do not buy the pneumonia story, I have had pneumonia. She was perfectly fine when she arrived at the 911 memorial and then collapsed in 80 degree weather. 80 degrees is nothing. 80 degrees is what they recommend you keep your thermostat at during the night. Whatever her health problem may be, the fact is that the media has been lying about it being an issue for a month. The media lies to push their agenda. What happens next week should be even more interesting.
I feel I should add these pictures, pictures that I had to get from conservative sites because they didn't want to post them in the mainstream media.
I didn't think much of it at the time; but, it has new meaning today.
This last video is from 2011, prior to her falling at home and hitting her head which we are told resulted in her brain clot.
New York Times - Clinton to Have Surgery to Repair Elbow Fractured in a Fall. This fall was in 2009.
I may have ignored the rumors before and not written about them; but, I knew about them. I read all the biggest alternative sources on both the left and right, I merely prefer not to use them as sources and instead check out the sources they are drawing from. Questions about Hillary's health are now front and center. If the media ignores them and doesn't follow up next week it will merely demonstrate how biased and untruthful they are yet again.
UPDATE 2
While I prefer to focus on the media, this fainting spell raises questions I did not wish to get into. First we were told she had coughing fits because of allergies then it was reported that she was coughing up some green mucus. Okay, sounds like a cold, people get sick especially with all the people she is around. If they had just come out and said she had the flu or a cold this story would have died weeks ago. It certainly would not be the first time a candidate got sick on the election trail. Instead she said it was just an allergy and made a jump that it was an allergy to Trump. To tell the truth it was a pretty good joke and a good response. It would have worked as well if she said she was a little sick and blamed that on Trump.
So her coughs were blamed on allergies; but, then we were told after the fact today, after her fainting, that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. Oddly enough the same day she held a fundraiser with Barbara Streisand. Apparently she didn't care if she exposed others to her "pneumonia". In fact, she cared so little about exposing others that about an hour and a half after fainting today she left her daughters house and both put her hands on and took a picture and claiming she felt great. Huh? Why would she expose a young girl to pneumonia? That's right, they didn't claim it was pneumonia until she got back to her own home; but, they also said she has known she had pneumonia since Friday, three days ago.
The media's response to all of this is to deflect and talk about Trumps health. I have even read an article that said Roosevelt had polio and was a good president. What? Everybody knew about Roosevelt's polio and most people had family or friends at that time who had suffered through it prior to the vaccine being created. As for Trumps health, come on, the guy sleeps only 4 hours a day and is a workhorse. Even those who were on his show and are not voting for him will say the guy has incredible stamina.
Now lets look at possible outcomes. What if the media pushes for her medical records and it turns out she has something serious? Does she stay in the race? What if people buy the pneumonia story and it happens again in a week or a month or the day before election day, would that be fair to her supporters.
Not long ago I wrote about how there were people in the media testing the balloon that if one of the candidates died they could delay the election. At the time we were assuming they meant Trump but I still said any delay in the elections would be wrong.
UPDATE 3
Sorry kids, I hate updating posts. As my readers know, I read papers from all over the world each day. Just a fact. It is early and the morning and I was just reading an English paper. I will post the link then quote it.
Mail Online - Clinton cancels West Coast trip due to pneumonia after collapsing at 9/11 memorial - as doctor reveals she was diagnosed on Friday.
The article says the following, "Earlier on Sunday, Bardack said that Clinton 'has been experiencing a cough related to allergies'. On Friday, during follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia." Wait a second, no. Her physician said yesterday that her cough was related to allergies and hours later said it was pneumonia which had been diagnosed on Friday, three days ago. Either the reporter has made a grave mistake or foreign press heard different things.
If Hillary truly has pneumonia and just suffered a fainting spell, why is she not in a hospital?
