Death Panels in Great Britain: What the Demofiends Covet for U.S. Health Care

DoubleSpeak in Great Britain is alive and well–and putting people out of their misery by making sure they’re not "overmedicalised."

Sounds a lot like Hitler’s T-4 plan for the disabled and mentally ill in Germany–deny them food and care until they die–but this is being done under Great Britain’s program called the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), sanctioned and operated by the country’s socialized National Health Service.

My, think of all the lovely Pounds Sterling they save by depriving people of care when their taxpaying days are behind them and they’ve become, well, let’s borrow from Hitler again, "useless eaters."

The LCP scheme encourages doctors and other health care staff to consider removing medication, fluids and other treatments that no longer benefit the patient. (How exactly they know if these items are benefitting or not benefitting the patient is anyone’s guess, which makes it pretty easy to play God.)

Anyway, you get the picture–Hitler was right. Just get rid of people when they can’t work and pay taxes.

Read the real-life story of Eric Troake, who has been taken off fluids and medications and now wants to die because he feels so awful (yes, the fluids evidently weren’t benefitting him but he sure felt better before, which isn’t a good enough benefit), in "Daughter claims father wrongly placed on controversial NHS end of life [sic] scheme."

Somewhere, George Orwell must be smiling and cringing at the same time.

Good Intentions and National Socialism

I recently compared the Obamaniac agenda with that of Adoph Hitler. Now, I don’t foresee gas chambers. That was purely a Hitler thing, not a National Socialist-managed economy thing. No need for those extreme measures anyway when you can smother your opposition in PC correctness, hate crime innuendo, and orchestrated slander by the mainstream (read: socialistic) media. However, if you disagree with the Counterfeit-in-Chief and you seem to have any muscle, you will be dealt with swiftly and decisively.

Now, many will say that Obama is sincere and trying with "good intentions" to come to the aid of the country, which coincidentally was ruined by Republicans rather than by generalized greed (what did the Obamas "make" last year, $2.5 million on paper and untold millions in campaign sleaze?). However, the only sincere element in any politician’s desire for power is that he or she sincerely wants that power, the public be damned.

Daniel Webster put it quite succinctly and right-on-ly when he said:

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

"Just so," as my Irish brethren would say.

Now, how about the National Socialism charge? Economist Ludwig van Mises answers that succinctly:

"There are two patterns for the realization of socialism.  The first pattern (we may call it the Lenin or the Russian pattern) is purely bureaucratic….

"The second pattern (we may call it the Hindenburg or German pattern) nominally and seemingly preserves private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary markets, prices, wages, and interest rates.  There are, however, no longer entrepreneurs, but only shop managers….[I]n all their activities they are bound to obey unconditionally the orders issued by the government’s supreme office of production management….

"This is socialism under the outward guise of the terminology of capitalism."

Ever notice how many "czars" Obama has appointed (where are they listed in the Constitution?)? Last count was 22, following exactly in the German/Hindenburg/Hitler model. "[T]he appearance of ordinary markets" is what we now see in the case of Chrysler and GM and many of our financial institutions, but they are ruled by "czars" who report only to Obama.

Not hard to connect the dots.
