Hillary’s Path Ahead

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* What do the press/DNC/elites know about Hillary’s health and when did they know it?

* 9/11 anniversary was a huge public appearance that she had to make. Her medical team must have prepped like crazy to get her through the ordeal and she still collapsed.

Huge dilemma for the campaign now with eight weeks to go. They will have zero confidence of her passing muster in public appearances without a radical change in her treatment. But if it’s Parkinson’s, and Huma email researching Provigil points to that, then alt treatments are risky.

This episode will also erode Hillary’s confidence. Good chance team Clinton pulls her out of public appearances. It weakens her poll numbers but doesn’t tank them.

So strategy: hide her for eight weeks and try to devastate Trump with an October surprise. She could still win.

* She would have been contagious from her mouth at least, and she should have worn a mask over mouth and nose, or stood well away from everyone else.

So she can either admit she was hiding the pneumonia and willing to infect others to do it, or admit it wasn’t really pneumonia.

* So is Hillary really prone to illness, or does she just have the worst luck ever, and came down with this pneumonia right before a major public event, in the most crucial few months of her life, just as insane conspiracy theorists (paid by the Kremlin) are spreading totally unfounded rumors about her health?

* Taking 4 day weekends at this point in an election inherently suggests health issues.

* This whole thing was done on the West Wing with MS. Basically the same scenario is playing out in reality.

* Contagiousness aside, simple prudence would indicate staying away from other people in public and not going within ten miles of her two year old granddaughter.

Orthodox Jews Drawn To The Alt-Right

In this recent interview, white nationalist Greg Johnson says: “I had a dinner recently with some new young people who have come into it in the past two years and some people who’ve been around for decades. The contrast could not have been more marked. The people who had been in this for decades were all misfits, socially awkward and weird people, while the young people were all impressive, many of them with recent military careers. People with agency, discipline, organization… There are a large number of people coming into this who are normal. There’s a wind in our sails now.”

“The Jewish Question is a rift in the Alt-Right. The Paleocons have always been friendly with Jews.”

“I’m hearing about young Orthodox Jews are now being drawn into this. They’re reading Chateau Heartiste, sharing Alt-Right memes… They are drawn to something intellectually exciting.”

Are Secret Service Agents Normally This Fat?

REPORT:

(VERO BEACH, FL) A former Secret Service agent has confirmed the identity of Hillary Clinton’s mysterious ‘medical handler’ as US Secret Service Agent Todd Madison.

The retired Secret Service agent, who spent 20 years protecting America’s top leaders including the Clintons, confirmed by telephone Wednesday that the stocky African American man highlighted by various media outlets, was a man he worked with previously on assignment.

The former Secret Service agent, who requested to remain anonymous due to continuing government service, said that the Secret Service doesn’t have handlers, but agents are trained in emergency trauma care, and will at times bring in contractors to fill specific medical needs.

“Some agents are more true believers than others”, the former Secret Service agent said, meaning that some agents get more involved than others in the political campaigns they are attached to. “This explains the uncommon behavior of him getting up and talking during the speech, he’s a boss, its how Todd handles his detail,” he added.

WASHINGTON POST August 8:

Armed with junk science and old photos, critics question #HillarysHealth

Even when Clinton remained controlled, steady and unsmiling, #HillarysHealth sleuths were ready. Mike Cernovich, a self-help author best known as the attorney for a central figure in the “Gamergate” saga, seized on the speculation about Clinton to ask if Clinton traveled with a private doctor. “Remember when you thought famous people like Michael Jackson and Elvis had good medical care?” he asked. “What’s Clinton on?”

Cernovich’s speculation started with an incident from last week, when Clinton was campaigning in Las Vegas. Mid-speech, she paused and narrowed her eyes to look at protesters. Secret Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Todd Madison rushed to her side, telling her that the situation was under control, and that she could keep talking.

As was widely reported, Clinton was reacting to a commotion from four animal rights activists. According to Melina Mara, a Washington Post photographer who was shooting at the event, first the activists hoisted their signs; then, one pushed a female protester over the barrier. As Clinton looked on, the protester stumbled and was being hauled back.

To some Clinton fans, it seemed like she had remained steely while a threat was taken care of — a contrast with the way Trump had handled himself when a protester tried to rush him during the primaries.

To Cernovich, it was clear that Clinton was “completely frozen” and “lost control of her executive functions/pre-frontal cortex.” She actually riffed on the protesters, telling them to protest Donald Trump’s sons, who are proud hunters.

But in a follow-up post, Cernovich speculated that Madison was not in fact a Secret Service agent, but a medical professional who must be around her at all times. In his comments on Twitter and at InfoWars, Shkreli speculated that Madison was holding “an Apokyn pen, used to treat Parkinson’s,” in a photo that revealed something in his right hand.

“The media is completely covering up this story,” wrote Cernovich. “We will continue to investigate it aggressively. By the way, my journalism is entirely self-funded.”

Steve Sailer Last Night: ‘Is There Still Time for Hillary to Drop Out?’

Steve Sailer posted that question on his blog last night, before Hillary’s collapse today.

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* I have this mental image of Steve, ensconced in a dark room late at night, running his spreadsheet data, thoughtfully tapping a pencil against his chin, muttering to himself: “Yes, yes, my models point to a 95% chance of Hillary collapsing at the 9/11 ceremony tomorrow. I’ll make an indirect reference to it in a post a few hours before it happens.”

* Whoa. That video of Hillary falling at a 9/11 event does not look good, especially when seen in the context of her other public episodes. I used to kind of laugh off speculation about Hillary’s health, but I am starting to change my mind. Another couple of strange episodes and it will start looking like a legitimate issue — and not just among us righties. It will start to seriously hurt her in the polls.

I’m surprised more folks haven’t commented on the appearance of her “security van,” which conspicuously resembles one of those mobility vans used to transport seriously disabled people. Maybe I’m just especially attuned to this because I live in a part of Florida that is thick with retirees even by Florida standards, so I’m used to seeing those things puttering around.

* Steve’s post on this topic couldn’t have been more prescient — almost supernaturally so. Steve’s ouija board must be the best on the internet.

It really is a serious question now as to whether Hillary’s going to have to withdraw from the race. I honestly don’t see how she recovers politically from this episode. It’s not just the health issue, it’s the lying and intimidation she and her campaign engaged in before this event. Who will be able to believe anything she and they have to say about her health, or any other topic, after this event? Who will allow themselves to be bullied by them anymore?

Even the shameless media has been embarrassed by all its loud denunciations of a “conspiracy” over her health. It can look stupid, but it can’t look this stupid. It’s trusted by maybe 6% of the population — it can’t allow it to go down to 3%. It’s finally going to have to ask some serious questions.

The real question is how long Hillary will stick it out. It’s certainly possible she’ll take it to the bitter end of Nov 8, and, I think at this point, a very likely loss. But I’ve got to believe she’s going to get great pressure to drop out as early as possible, so that another Dem will have a shot. Yet it’s hard to see how Hillary is going to give up her one shot at the brass ring without a tremendous struggle.

The Democrats and the media are now going to be living in Interesting Times.
