A consummation devoutly to be wished.

What you have sketched out is a serious response. It reminds me that there can be many kinds of frivolous responses that are not light-hearted or fanciful. Storm and frenzied anger can be a frivolous response, if it prevents thinking seriously about the larger significance of the event.

Unfortunately, as Hitler observed,

"...in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods..."

It's a shame this has been so thoroughly recognized and exploited by our leaders.

Awaking will come after the fall.

Insightful, but the US has been here before with a terminally ill Democratic President. In 1944 FDR sought his 4th term despite being (by then) completely unfit for office, a fact known to his inner circle and apparently to Churchill (in his memoirs, Churchill states how in the last year of FDR's life the cables that would come over his signature were clearly drafted by others). The Republicans gingerly sought to explore the issue and were laughed to scorn by the Democrats. The Republicans were right, of course--FDR died 87 days into his term--but the Democrats paid no particular price, then or later, for running a near-corpse for office.

The 1944 Democrats can at least be credited for forcing FDR to drop the frighteningly odd Henry Wallace as his VP, replacing him with Truman (they knew FDR wouldn't last long in office, despite the front they put up publicly). One wonders if the rather boring Tim Kaine has been imposed upon Hillary as part of a similar deal.

Interesting times...

A Red Pill moment.

The archetypal Red Pill Moment occurs of course in Eden. I use the present tense because that moment is every moment.

One Democratic operative said that this episode only proves how incredibly strong Hillary is -- who else could maintain her grueling schedule while walking around with pneumonia!

In any event, grace manifests in strange ways. One can almost hear Hillary shrieking, "I'm melting, melting. Who would have thought some peasant with an iPhone could destroy my beautiful wickedness!"

My first thought on hearing that she fainted Sunday at the 9-11 memorial was, "I bet there was some kind of blessing at that ceremony..."

Whether the result was an exorcism or a sort of mercy - inasmuch as the resulting publicity is practically forcing her down, one way or another, and thus giving her time to either heal or get her affairs in order - is anyone's guess.

Dr. Charlton,

Obviously she is a liar and I have no doubt that she could have parkinson's and nobody would tell us, but as a layman, I have to rely on the opinion of experts such as yourself when it comes to actual diagnosis. So, how confident are you?

@josh - Parkinson's is very easy to diagnose on sight, if you have seen it a few times. I am confident she has Parkinsonism.

If HRC withdraws, what happens to the people behind all those tens of millions of dollars they shoved into the Clinton Crime Foundation's bank account for the purpose of securing post-election access to the President? If she withdraws, they will not be happy, and maybe some will want revenge. What is about to happen to HRC is hellish, but it's a destiny she chose. It's not going to be pretty. Her followers won't come to their senses, however. They'll just look for another HRC.

I've found myself in an odd situation over this- I wouldn't wish Parkinson's on anyone, even Hilary (I'm very glad that it's becoming obvious to the general population that she is unwell however). But I find it hard to feel actually feel any sympathy for her, since I now realise that I don't really think of her as human but as an instrument of evil. Or as something akin to Gollum from LOTR. It's hard to empathise with, or to hate, such a someone so obviously wretched in every way.

One of the strangest things imaginable is the idea someone earnestly praying for Hilary Clinton. I'm sure it has happened at some point, but I just can't actually picture it.

I feel sorry for her in someway. No matter how hard she tries, she's the girl her husband took advantage of, she waited and waited for her turn, scheming along the way. Her moment was 8 years ago, but an upstart took it. So she waited even longer, and now that she's on the verge of making it, no one still likes her and her health issues are finally becoming debilitating in a public way. It's a bit of a Greek tragedy.

Watching that video of her not in control of her body, I felt nothing but pity for her and sadness for the fact that our nation is clearly being conspired against by her and others at the same time.

"Hillary" walking around soon after her collapse is her double. All public figures on that scale have them.

@LD - I noticed this idea. I would not rule out the *possibility* given the vast scale of deception at work here; but in this instance the photos seem to show the identical person with the same skin marks. There would need to be a combination of a body double *plus* photoshopping of the released phots, at least.

However, that aside; my point is that yesterday's lie about pneumonia is not consistent with the animated HRC emerging a short time after the collapse - the data dots emanating from the same source do not join-up, medically.

All this illustrates a pitfall of dealing with Liars (as discussed in yesterday's blog post). We know that Liars are lying but it is not possible to extract the truth from their lies, because there are an almost limitless nuber of possibiities for lying and only one truth.

I think it best not to be dragged down to the level of Liars by trying to decode them. We should ignore what they say and try to make up our own minds, using common sense, intuition and the evidence which seems most solid to us.

@Gso - It is indeed pitiful, although my sympathy is qualified by the situation be self-inflicted and the malign intention behind it all. Nonetheless, it is dreadful to see anybody in such a state *especially* in a context of denial, lies and manipulations - What I saw i nthe 9/11 incident was a situation utterly lacking in all good human qualities - a grossly abusive and demonic situation arising among people, many of whom had turned their backs on the divine.

I anticipate that some of these people in the HRC entourage will now be repenting and soon coming forward to confess in public - and when they do, they will not be deterred by threats nor bought-off by bribes.

In Uncovering Clinton, Michael Isikoff chronicles how those in the know covered up W.J. Clinton's gross misconduct when he ran for President.

And then there was the cover-up of the state of F.D. Roosevelt's health when he ran for the fourth time.

And, earlier, the whole shady governing of America after Woodrow Wilson's stroke:

One of the big differences at present is the inescapable public display of - whatever exactly it is - on the part of Mrs. Clinton.

@David - Indeed - there is nothing 'objective' about the nature and severity of what it takes to produce an awakening - and the exact timing is essential. It was only after it happened that I got the feeling that this was IT - the specific incident in the specific time, place and context. Whether I was correct remains to be seen.

Personally, I suspect that pneumonia if real is trivial; since HRC was up and about and smiling for a photo-opportunity within a hours of being frozen and helplessly carried away from the 9/11 ceremony. Pneumonia severe enough to cause collapse would take days to improve - but bouncing back in a few hours is consistent with On-Off syndrome of freezing alternating with active Parkinsonism treated with L-dopa; or a temporary boost (just long enough for photos) from an Apomorphine shot.

I was hoping you would comment on this.

Even to the untrained eye, this event appears to be some type of seizure. An earlier video from June (see 0:01 - 0:04 on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJjHTeo6mVw ) indicates an involuntary event to my eye.

Replacing her would require her to resign and nobody but Hillary can make that choice. The National Committee can then select anyone they want without regard to whether they ran during the primary season or not.

Great analysis - spot on!
I have bee saying it for a while: "God could not have scripted that which we see any better!" Stepping out of the matrix is the first step - followed by the forced reality rather than illusions and lies. Eough is enough and evil has overstepped its bounderies - their leaders are in free fall!

Some years ago, my father collapsed due to stress and pneumonia. He was feebly struggling to move and in and out of consciousness. Looked nothing like what happened to Hillary.

Did anyone notice that in the video, just as she was being assisted off the curb, that some metallic object fell from her right pantleg? If you turn up the volume it can be heard hitting the ground. What's that all about?

Dr Charlton,

Thank you for your insights. It is refreshing to see someone taking more than precursory look of the spiritual aspects of all that is going on. More on that in a moment.

Your suggestion of how HRC was able to "show herself" so shortly after her episode fits the observable facts better than anything I've heard so far.

Along the lines of her having Parkinson's, I now wonder if she was EVER intended to be the next POTUS. It almost seems the intent was to get her elected and then twist the plot somehow. Albeit this line of reasoning is not without fault. I cannot see Tim Kaine as a serious choice for her replacement. Of course he has a certain canine-like obedience to his Masters (I cannot help but think of Garfield's "Odie" when I look at him.) but I don't believe he is at all electable in his own right. (As a transplanted Virginian, I'm convinced his placement as Senator is tainted, if not outright corrupted.) In any case, if we can accept she has mid-stage Parkinson's, then it follows this was known many months ago, at the very least. Add that to the administrations blinking at her illegal activities, and the robust support she enjoys among her elitist peers and one has to wonder what gives?

Moving on the the spiritual aspect of all of this. I totally agree about this being a crux our timeline. But I am certain this nation is beyond turning to our Creator for any kind of reprieve. Not because such mercy is unavailable, but because I cannot see the people of this nation waking up and turning to God. This nation will not be restored because we are too arrogant to bow down and ask.

What I do see is a culmination of ancient prophesy. I'll tread carefully here lest I come across as a wild-eyed nut case but I believe we are seeing the beginning of the end. (Depending on how you would define the beginning.) At some point in the future, a world government will be installed. I believe it could be within our lifetimes. Between now and then, I expect The Rapture. While some dispute whether there will be a Rapture at all, I have my reasons and I will stand by my assessment until proven otherwise. And even if I am mistaken on this point, the ancient prophecy predicts the return of the Messiah after the establishment of this world government. Either way, the spiritual battle is coming to the final conclusion.

I have posted more on this on the blog in the url portion of this comment for anyone interested in exploring further.

Again, thank you for your insights. I am glad to have stumbled upon your blog. Thank Ol' Remus for that.

@Andy - I am sure we are in the End Times or Latter Days, and I think the probability is hat this will continue to its end - but, I do believe that from time to time events are arranged so that we have the potential for reasonably large scale repentance, some reversal and delay; IF we should so chooce.

This led me to wonder, what's so important about Hillary? Aren't there a million other no-talent leftists that the DNC could swap in to replace her?

Maybe not. The Democratic party is a diverse coalition of perfidious parasites whose only currency is the favors they've done for Hillary and the favors she owes them. There is no honor among thieves; hundreds of Dems would "commit suicide" before a new Schelling point is reached.

@Dr. Charlton:

"Spiritual" - as you began your post is the appropriate evaluation in what we are seeing with our own eyes and what the US Pravda attempts to foist on us.
We are indeed in a battle - one side is the system of satan - on the other side is God and Good.
This period in time is a spiritual awakening taking place everywhere simply because citizens in the US and elsewhere now learned to understand the diversion of what is demanded of us once again: voting for the global aristocracy and their tools here in the US.
Being that this plan began in 1917 with the Federal Reserve and progressing bit by bit each and every election time - we now have reached the cross road: We either continue to follow - like lemmings - the agents selected not by us or we step out of this matrix and acknowledge that God has provided this current script. He is giving us one more choice: Go right that all will be well for us down the line or go left and face destruction aka "one-world-government' - handing the ultimate control over to satan's system and agents.
We all know what follows should we enable Hillary et al into the white house because the legwork has been done over the past 8 years with the intent to usher in this system controlled by satan.

I thank you for your thought provoking analysis - but most of all that you rightly wrote your post beginning with the most important issue: the Spritiual!
We are indeed in a battle between good and evil!
