— out in an open paper, the Lancet — for the first time since the Third Reich.

abigail2...you see the graph???? Pass along to Jesse!!
These Liberal ghouls plans will include (this time) Christians, gun owners, Conservatives, extremists (to be determined by those in power), anyone over 50 and the list goes on. Welcome to the new version of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

The Nazi Euthanasia Program: Forerunner of Obama’s Death Council
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 - by Terry Melanson
by Anton Chaitkin
At his trial in front of the American National Military Tribunal in 1947, Karl Brandt, Hitler’s escort physician and later a leading euthanasia operative, testified that, sometime in 1935, Hitler had informed Reich Health Leader Gerhard Wagner of his intention to implement euthanasia of the mentally disabled once war had begun. According to Brandt, Hitler believed the opposition to euthanasia from church circles would be less pronounced during war than in peacetime.

The world economy is teetering … With trillions of dollars evaporating in this crisis, millions of middle-class Americans face the prospect of losing their homes and jobs, and witnessing a dramatic contraction of their retirement savings. In response, the public will desperately want financial security…. [B]ailing out bankers and other gamblers [and the] huge increase in the federal debt that these bailouts will entail intensifies the pressure to rein in health-care costs….The dean of health-care economists, Victor Fuchs of Stanford, has long maintained that we will get health-care reform only when there is a war, a depression or some other major civil unrest. It’s beginning to look like we might just have all three….
—Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, “The Financial Crisis and Health Care,” the Chicago Tribune, Oct. 12, 2008
I have since looked up Anton Chaitkin. Wiki gives this:
Anton “Tony” Chaitkin is an author, historian and political activist with the LaRouche movement. He serves as History Editor for Executive Intelligence Review.
Why did it fall to a LaRouchian to make the charges against Emanuel and his obamacare? MSM is already writing off opponents as loony, so this just seems to fit the Establishment’s agenda too well.
The most famous last words in history: “It can’t happen here.”
See post #20 and there's a disclaimer in the link.
Our side is apparently *chicken* when it comes to Obama and his minions.
This is precisely how the latest incarnation of "National(ized) Healthcare" must be presented!!! Until people fear their personal ox getting gored, they're gonna play along with our new "we shall overcome" el Presidente/Commandante!!!
Ask those you know on the web and in meat space, as many as you dare, some version of this question And So, What’s the Consequence of Being Deemed Unuseful?
Such a question, presented with enough of this story to set off alarms, has the potential to spur a grassroots revolt against the schemers in Washington unlike anything seen in America in a very long time.
Their gauge of useful is likely the projected future tax payments to be made by the individual.
That makes sense. This is worse than slavery. Non productive slaves were sold to someone else, rarely killed. But this is the nature of statism, isn't it? Human life reduced to a commodity: produce or "be processed."
I'm sure you hear echoes of CSLewis' warning.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I say kill the conservatives first. Who needs their taxes, we'll tax their estates.
You're right, you'll never convince followers of the One as to the error of his ways, but point out to them they'll be unuseful ones, it'll wake a few up.
Your reference to triage only relevant in the context of a true shortage of care. The One and his brother wish to establish an artificial shortage, quite different.
‘swhat I was getting at. If a free market reigns, shortages are unlikely.
A lot of those groups are the ones that the Communists went after in the 1930s and 40s (basically, ordinary and upper-middle class, successful types like my grandparents). Of course the leftists, including Communist-sympathizer FDR, did everything they could to hide what they did and enabled.
And since they "won" and wrote the history, of course most of us never heard much about it.
We escaped from one Communist country only to land in another.
There was a time when people thought that warning was too pessimistic if not paranoid. But maybe it was simply written before its warning became obvious.
The whole set up is a scam to make their personal decisions look reasoned.
For example, if they really wanted to maximize “life years,” the first thing to stop would be abortion, since babies, by definition, have the most life in them.
Your observation is excellent. Reread it often so readily it comes to mind when you need it in the coming debate that doesn’t want to hear you.
Our side will be limited to soundbites, so they must be vibrant and piercingly to the point.
192. Pascal:
“Progressive” thought has moved on from “Soylent Green” to “Coma” to “Death Becomes Her.” All that advanced under the influence of “Night of the Living Dead.”
As to 15% of Americans and Europeans endorsing it, I pray it is that small, but there’s cause to doubt it. Recipients of “donated” organs may be too ready to accept a conscience numbing story as to the origin of their new body part. A scraping of the organ and DNA test could verify the story’s veracity. Could their life extension be the product of far Eastern notoriety? Uh, STFU.
Bottom line: “Soylent Green seems apropos for some reason” because cannibalism is not strictly a gastronomic experience any more.
So here's your soundbite General Sulla.
