Health care: murderous on both sides of the border
27 June 2010
Kingston is presently under attack by a United States Senator from Kentucky. Kingston was, of course, the former national capital in the years between1841-1844 and also, as a naval base, it played an important role in the naval operations on the Great Lakes during the 1812 war between the United States and the British Empire’s forces in Canada. Today, it is rather a violent war of words that is taking place: Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate Republican Leader is singling out Kingston General Hospital for the “staggering” length of its waiting periods (see The Globe & Mail, June 25 editorial: “Wait Times –Tale of two senates”). On the Canadian side the salvo of words attacking the Kentuckian Senator is being fired by Hugh Segal who is from Kingston. This is supposed to be a Republican flank against the Obama Administration proposed health-care reform package which is being written up as legislation to be tabled for a vote, in late summer, in both Houses of Congress. This battle skirmish has targeted the wrong enemy and is a false flag operation. The Senator from Kentucky should of course have taken a more reasoned approach and flushed out the real culprit in the matter, as would no doubt have done two of the United States most illustrious statesmen, Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln, both native sons of the blue grass state. Even at face value, the level of argumentation taken by Senator McConnell is as incompetent as the level utilized by President Obama in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he was featured as the salesman of last resort trying to peddle snake-oil to a unwary public. President Obama argues that Green Bay, which has one of the lowest cost of health delivery system in the United States should be the norm (of course the President did not mention that the low cost of health delivery in Green Bay is based on the fact that the Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO’s) operating in Green Bay are wielding their murderous cost-cutting axe more indiscriminately than probably anywhere else in the country!). The President’s sophistry was also on display when he singled out McAllen Texas as one of the worst abusers with very costly health-care delivery (he deservedly incurred the wrath of McAllen medical doctors and other health professionals who have taken the Hippocratic oath and refuse to sacrifice patients on the altar of accounting cost-effectiveness. The actual reason for higher costs in McAllen, the poorest community in the United States, is the lack of investments in necessary infrastructure and job opportunities which accelerates poor health and diseases). Before our two Senators escalate their verbal warfare, they should reflect on Jonathan Swift’s famous attack on the British Empire when he described how the subjects of the Kingdom of Lilliput were being manipulated into a useless war. The British Empire of today, the City of London-centered globalized looting apparatus, is now demanding its pound of flesh from both Americans and Canadians, first from the elderly and other vulnerable segments of our population who require health care and then, through the stealing of Social Security. President Obama has become the British Pied Piper leading his countrymen towards a murderous depopulation policy, which is the publicly uttered policy of his new friend from Buckingham Palace, the evil Prince Philip. We must reject the manipulative Lilliputian wars that financial oligarchs operating through President Obama’s behaviourist psychological controllers would like the population to engage in and rather demand health policies that will not force medical doctors to forsake their Hippocratic Oath. British N.I.C.E. is NAZIA most important component of the so-called health-care reform package that President Obama’s Administration is trying to ram through is called ‘comparative effectiveness research,’ part of the mechanisms and ploys to implement Hitler-style denial of care, on the basis of ‘lives unworthy to be lived.’(These were the words used personally by Hitler in his September, 1939 memo launching the infamous T4 euthanasia program). CER is a direct transplant from the British N.I.C.E. (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence), which since 1999, has dictated what care will be given, and what care will be denied. Death rates in Britain have accordingly risen for many sections of the population and various diseases. The Obama stimulus act set up the Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research. A better American approach to health care would be to reject the murderous HMO policies and go back to the successful Hill-Burton standard that was operating in the United States from 1946 to 1973. In Canada, the universal health-care policy initiated by Tommy Douglas, the “most beloved Canadian” in a recent countrywide survey, can be made to work properly. Both systems can work as health care delivery systems but only if, and it’s a big if: Number one—only if Americans and Canadians can stand up as one and denounce “cost effective research” for the Nazi policy it represents. Those who spew out such hateful policies against the elderly and other vulnerable citizens have been brainwashed into adopting an oligarchical-malthusian outlook which cannot differentiate between a man and an animal. President Obama cannot claim his admiration towards Abraham Lincoln and in the same breath argue for Nazi health policies. Abraham Lincoln and Henry Clay were among mankind’s most eloquent defenders of the potentiality to develop the godly spark in each and every human being to the level of creative reason. They understood the phrase “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” to be a rigorous scientific idea and also an inalienable right. Number two—if the present bankrupt world monetary system is soon replaced by a Hamiltonian credit system, as specified in Lyndon LaRouche’s four powers agreement between the United States, Russia, India and China, then mankind will have successfully avoided a rapid descent into a new dark age. Previous dark ages in history were the result of oligarchs succeeding in bestializing a majority of mankind. Renaissances were created by humanists whose educational and cultural policies allowed for the development of creative minds necessary to meet the challenges of a growing population. Let us find within ourselves the resourcefulness and courage to defeat-permanently the British Empire. Gilles Gervais |
