Terry Mauro Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 John, I couldn't have put it better myself. The wild accusations being flung about by American conservatives during the "debate" regarding health care reform would be laughable were it not for the fact that some of the more gullible members of the American public appear to have been taken in by them. Obama's popularity is, apparently, shrinking, and he seems to be backtracking on some aspects of his promised health care program This video explains in detail the sudden "backtracking" with regards to Obama's healthcare reforms. http://www.larouchepac.com/lpactv?nid=11544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Mauro Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) One Of Every 6 People Who Die In The UK Have Been Euthanized Sept. 3 (LPAC)-- As reported in the Daily Telegraph in an article entitled "Sentenced to death on the NHS," 16.5 percent, or one of every 6 people, who died in the United Kingdom from 2007-2008, had been subjected to "involuntary euthanasia." As Lyndon LaRouche commented today, the fact that the truth is finally coming out about the British healthcare policy, which is the model for Obama's Nazi legislation, is the result of the fight that LaRouche has led in the United States. This report comes at the point that Obama's health care policy has been thoroughly exposed in the U.S. and Obama is desperately trying to revive it. The Daily Telegraph published a letter to the editor by doctors and experts denouncing the NICE program called "Liverpool Care Pathway," which was designed by the Marie Curie hospice in Liverpool working with a team at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals Trust. It was originally developed as a way to care for cancer patients towards the end of their life, but has been adapted to apply to all patients no matter what their illness. The signers of the letter denounce the program as giving premature death sentences to patients by denying them fluids, nutrition, medicine and treatment after making a determination that they are close to death, a determination that is often wrong. This program was recommended as a model by the NICE in 2004. It has been adopted nationwide and more the 300 hospitals, 130 hospices and 540 care homes in England currently use the system. The date 2004 is significant, because it means that the program was put into effect by NICE during the regime of Tony Blair. Blair's healthcare advisor from 2000-2004 was Simon Stevens, who is now with United Health Care in the U.S., which has the exclusive franchise to provide insurance for AARP members, and is a strong supporter of the Obama plan. The program is denounced because patients are wrongly put on the pathway, which creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that they would die. In 2007-2008, 16.5 percent of the deaths in Britain came about after continuous deep sedation, according to researchers at the Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, twice as many as in Belgium and the Netherlands. Criticism of the LCP has long been simmering beneath the surface in the UK. Back in December 1999, even before the LCP program was formerly recommended by NICE, Dr. Adrian Treloar, now a psycho-geriatrician and senior lecturer at the Greenwich Hospital and the Guys, Kings, and St. Thomas's Hospitals in London, denounced the British NHS for involuntary euthanasia. At that time the British Medical Association (BMA) had issued guidelines that said that doctors should be allowed to authorize withdrawal of food and water by tube for victims of severe stroke and dementia who can no longer express their wishes. The guidance said: "Doctors should have the final say over whether treatment including feeding and giving water is in the patient's best interest. It is not always appropriate to prolong life." More recently on April 26, 2008, Dr. Adrian Treloar, warned in a letter to the British Medical Journal, that the Liverpool Care Pathway is a blueprint for systematic euthanasia of disabled patients. "Combined with withdrawal of fluids, deep sedation leads quickly to death. Treloar wrote that the LCP threatens patients because its eligibility criteria do not ensure that only people who are about to die are allowed on the pathway. They allow people who are thought to be dying, are bed-bound, and are unable to take tablets, onto the pathway. In chronic disease such as dementia, dying may take years, but such patients may be eligible. GPs often put patients on to such a pathway without palliative care advice." Treloar expressed concern that sedation is being used as an inexpensive alternative to assessment and specialist treatment. The LCP recommends sedatives and opiates for all patients on an `as required' basis, even when they are not agitated, in pain, or distressed. An automatic pathway towards prescribing heavy sedatives incurs risks. Moreover, the LCP recommends setting up a syringe driver within four hours of a doctor's order. This is laudable, if it is needed. But the pathway encourages the use of syringe drivers even when symptoms can be managed without them. The pathway doesn't mention the need for food and fluids. In the letter, Treloar cites a Dutch study of the LCP: "Reitjens et al. show that withholding artificial nutrition and hydration is the norm. The LCPs omission of prompts to reconsider nutrition and hydration may allow serious errors in the care of dying patients. It is not acceptable, as Murray et al. suggest, that assessing nutrition and hydration are not part of the pathway. Sedation is right in some situations. But as Murray et al. point out, the anticipated outcome of continuous deep sedation is death. We must learn from Reitjens et al.'s observation that continuous deep sedation may replace euthanasia." On Aug. 13, 2009, Adam Brimelow, BBC news health correspondent, warned that there is evidence that some clinicians may already be using continuous deep sedation (CDS), as a form of slow euthanasia. Professor Clive Seale, at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, reports that in the UK the prevalence of continuous deep sedation until death is very high indeed, 16.5% of all UK deaths. (wfw) Letter to the Editor of the Daily Telegraph Exposes NICE Murder Policy Sept. 3 (LPAC)--The following letter to the editor of the Daily Telegraph is merely the latest, most explosive exposure of the Nazi health policy implemented in Britain under Tony Blair and his health adviser, Simon Stevens, who is now working with United Health in collaboration with AARP. The report by the Patients' Association referred to in the letter, exposed that one million NHS patients received cruel or neglectful care. Another recent report, by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA), estimates that the number of NHS patients who have been given the wrong medicine has doubled in the last two years. A further report indicates that a third of patients are being treated by nurses rather than doctors at General Practioner surgeries. This is the policy which Obama is desperately attempting to impose on the population of the United States of America on behalf of his British controllers. The LaRouche PAC has been denounced and violently attacked for denouncing Obama's policy as Nazi. Instead, opponents of this Nazi policy at town meetings across the nation have been denounced by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, among other allies of Obama, as Nazis. Here is the evidence of what is in store for Americans if Obama were to succeed. You decide who is the Nazi. "SIR The Patients Association has done well to expose the poor treatment of elderly patients in some parts of the NHS (report, August 27). We would like to draw attention to the new gold standard treatment of those categorised as dying. Forecasting death is an inexact science. "Just as, in the financial world, so-called algorithmic banking has caused problems by blindly following a computer model, so a similar tick-box approach to the management of death is causing a national crisis in care. "The Government is rolling out a new treatment pattern of palliative care into hospitals, nursing and residential homes. It is based on experience in a Liverpool hospice. If you tick all the right boxes in the Liverpool Care Pathway, the inevitable outcome of the consequent treatment is death. "As a result, a nationwide wave of discontent is building up, as family and friends witness the denial of fluids and food to patients. Syringe drivers are being used to give continuous terminal sedation, without regard to the fact that the diagnosis could be wrong. "It is disturbing that in the year 2007-2008, 16.5 per cent of deaths came about after terminal sedation. Experienced doctors know that sometimes, when all but essential drugs are stopped, dying patients get better." P. H.

Why are you in favour of the multinational drug and insurance corporations? Are they the new funders of the LaRouche organisation? The NHS is far from being perfect. It is under-funded and I would like to see more money spent on health-care and less on nuclear weapons and the invasion and occupation of foreign countries. However, as a means of protecting people, regardless of income, it takes some beating. Anyway, it appears to be far superior to the one that exists in the United States. For example, the World Health Organisation ranks Britain's healthcare as 18th in the world, while the US is in 37th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Mauro Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Hysterical New York Times Defends Obama's Euthanasia September 7, 2009 (LPAC)--The New York Times dragged out columnist Ross Douthat again yesterday for a defense of Obama's Hitlerian health-care agenda. The latest Douthat column promotes Obama's euthanasia counselor Ezekiel Emanuel as an opponent of assisted suicide. Not bothered by logic, Douthat then proceeds to attack the U.S. population for its blind allegiance to fighting death. Douthat acknowledges "the recent controversy over Great Britain's Liverpool Care Pathway, whose ... approach to dying patients may involve withdrawing care before their death is actually certain." He says it might be connected to "a particularly sinister form of rationing." This is the program which murders 1 in 6 of the Britons who die, imposed by the National Health Service's NICE agency Obama touts as his model for the U.S.A. But Douthat suggests that assisted suicide would likely be {preferred} by Americans to this efficient British non-voluntary approach -- because our population stubbornly seeks to control death, spending extravagant amounts to save lives, and suicide is one means of control! Douthat writes that Americans' "goal is perfect autonomy, perfect control, and absolute freedom of choice. And in each case, the alternative approach, one that emphasizes the limits of human agency, and the importance of humility in the face of death's mysteries doesn't mesh with our national DNA." And "in the profligate, Promethean United States, it probably won't lead to rationing-by-euthanasia. ...[Assisted suicide is] just as likely to become one more intervention that we insist every health insurance plan should cover on our way, perhaps, to a rendezvous with fiscal suicide." Douthat (pronounced "yes mein Fuehrer, do-that") has previously written with alarm about the LaRouche presence everywhere in this debate, and proclaimed his disgust at the spectacle of elderly people, a "sea of septuagenarians: some in wheelchairs, some clutching walkers, some dragging dialysis machines," clinging to life despite the cost, and sticking their noses in the national debate.

Like father like son. You should stick to parroting your “master” when you chirp in your own thoughts you come across as bird brained. Your dumb adhom was obviously the response of someone otherwise unable to reply. You should also stick to the Deep Phertalizer Forum it’s more at your level. "Unable to respond"? I'd say I hit the mark. Not being able to refute my points you resorted to an irrelevant ad hom, as I said stick to what you do best, mindlessly repeating the pronouncements of your guru. You should realize that no one here but you accepts the 'LaRouche says so, therefore it's so' standard of proof. He says "the program which murders 1 in 6 of the Britons who die, imposed by the National Health Service's NICE agency" but offers no evidence in support of this claim.

I pointed out that you were exactly like your father. This was the guy who could not find a shred of "evidence" linking his employers products to an increase in the death rates of their customers. Now like your father (who was likely a more sophisticated and practiced sophist) you pee around the bush asking for names and address of those patients killed as a result of the rationing policy imposed by NICE. You're like a little kid "no one here likes LaRouche". The last time you pulled that stunt , Douglas Caddy threw it right back in your face, showing how ignorant you are of the truth.
