This article appears in the May 22, 2009 issue of Executive Intelligence Review.
LaRouche: Obama Has Revived Hitler's Genocide Program
by John Hoefle
May 15�In October 1939, Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler issued an order, written in his own hand, ordering the extermination of those who were considered "unworthy of life." The order, entitled "The Destruction of Lives Unworthy of Life," stated that patients "considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health, be accorded a mercy death."
Hitler's murder spree started with the mentally ill, the terminally ill, invalids, and the disabled, and eventually spread to millions of Jews, Gypsies, and other "undesirables"�worked to death or exterminated in concentration camps.
This monstrous program was initially sold as an economic measure: "The economic burden represented by people suffering from hereditary diseases is a danger for the State and society," Nazi Dr. Gerhard Wagner said at the Nazi party congress in 1934. The Nazis required all state institutions to report on patients who were chronically ill, and used those reports as the basis to decide which patients should be killed.
Today, the Obama Administration is beginning to descend down that same road, promising to make the "tough choices" to cut entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security to save money�at precisely the time in which an increasing number of Americans are forced to depend on them as the economy slides deeper into Depression. Obama is willing to spend trillions of dollars to bail out the financial markets, and pay for it by slashing programs which keep ordinary Americans alive.
Think we're exaggerating? Take the case of a paper entitled "What Are the Potential Cost Savings from Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide?" It sounds like something that might have been written by Jeremy Bentham, or Aldous Huxley, or maybe Nazi doctor Karl Brandt, but it was actually co-authored in 1998 by "bio-ethicist" Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, a leading advisor to Obama's budget director Peter Orszag, and a member of the 15-person Federal Coordinating Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research, the group which has been designated to prepare the list of which medical procedures will henceforth be permitted, and which will not. Emanuel's co-author, Margaret Battin, has written other papers promoting suicide and selective refusal of medical treatment. The pair are really just echoing Karl Brandt's defense of euthanasia at Nuremberg: "Death can mean deliverance. Death is life�just as much as birth. It was never meant to be murder." But it was.
Lyndon LaRouche warned:
The Hitler program has been revived by the Obama Administration. This is straight Nazi stuff. It's not a quibble; it's not an interpretation. This is a direct copy of the philosophy of the Nazis. You cannot duck that issue. This is Nazi stuff, it's explicit. We know all this stuff from Hermann G�ring and so forth in the 1920s, and after that with their international connections, like certain Wall Street firms. We have been warned, and we act accordingly. People who condone this are criminals, because they either knew, or should have known, what they are doing. They either knew, or should have known.
This is mass murder. Obama has adopted Hitler's program. There is no reason to hold one's tongue. When the President of the United States has adopted Hitler's program, that's the time to unleash. This is exactly what I warned about on April 11th in my webcast. Obama has a Nero complex. Obama is the new Nero. This is exactly what is happening. This is Hitler's policy now being echoed by Obama. Let's not allow any compromise. You have to attack this directly. He has adopted Hitler's genocidal health policy.
Outlaw the HMOs
One instrumentality of this Nazi policy is the health insurance sector, led by the pharmaceutical companies and the Health Maintenance Organization companies. HMOs, which were started during the Nixon Administration, are the health-care equivalent of an Enron, a vehicle inserting a financial middleman between doctor and patient, for the purposes of jacking up the costs while reducing the quality of health-care delivered. The main role of the HMO sector is to break the control of doctors over health care, and transfer control to corporate cartels.
HMOs make their profits by siphoning off some of the cash flow intended for treatment of patients, and thus reducing the amount of money available for health care. The more they cut the care, the more left for them. But the money is only part of it. The real goal of this health system is to increase the death rate by depriving citizens of proper health care measures. Ultimately, the HMOs are part of the Anglo-Dutch financial empire's genocide machine.
The first step in restoring proper health care in this nation is to repeal the law which allowed HMOs to be created. Only after that, can the solutions be implemented. LaRouche advised:
Don't accept any discussion or dialogue on Social Security and such issues. First we have to reduce the costly mismanagement of health care by these insurance companies, by eliminating the HMOs. This will eliminate the biggest factor of waste in the health care system. The HMOs just took over and replaced Hill-Burton. There's no way of compromising on that; you have to be absolutely ruthless. The HMO is a parasite; there's no question about it. This is all criminal, and we have to deal with it as a crime.
Either we get these guys out now, or there's no chance: mass death occurs. That's what happened with Hitler. There were Jewish communities that also said: 'Look, don't fight it; it will go away.' It's the same thing today.
That view also applies to the menagerie of fascist "behavioral economists" surrounding Obama, LaRouche said:
These guys have to go. Because either these guys are going to go, or the President is going to go. And the President has to think through that choice, because the American people are not going to put up with this crap. These guys are going to find that the American people are going to say to the President: 'You get rid of these guys, or we get rid of you.'
Imperial Fascism
This open push for Nazi-style fascism should not be a surprise, since the Nazis and the other fascist movements of the 1920s and 1930s were created by the financiers of the Anglo-Dutch Liberal empire for the express purpose of breaking the power of the nation-states, and taking the world back to a modernized variation of medieval feudalism. Though the fascist movements suffered defeat in World War II (thanks largely to FDR and America's industrial might), the financier interests behind Hitler and Mussolini remain, and, as the current bailout travesty shows, they still hold enormous power.
Under Obama, just as under Bush, the government is spending huge amounts of money to try to save the values of the fictitious assets which dominate the global financial system. So far, some $13 trillion has been given, lent, promised, or guaranteed, in what has been repeatedly shown to be an open-ended process. Despite the Federal government's budget deficit, the money keeps on flowing, ever faster.
When it comes to the welfare of the population, however, the tune changes dramatically, to "cut, cut, cut." We're going to have to slash Social Security, slash Medicare, slash all sorts of other spending to bring our budget under control, we are told. Money for the bailout, money for the wars, but nothing for the people�who are the nation.
This is pure fascism. We are headed down the road to Hell, led by a Pied Piper of a President who, whatever he may think, will destroy us all unless we force him to change course. |

You mean to tell me America is going to have a holocaust where it murders those who are not wanted or desired under a set of special new criteria? I'm only reading the thread title as the post is too long and complicated. I know, I'm guilty too with writing my book yesterday about someone hiding my shoes.

The funny thing is the wikipedia page on this fellow mentions others have likened him to a Nazi as well. He also evidently spent a reasonable period of time in jail for mail fraud and tax violations. The guy further seems to have gone nuts with failed libel law-suits. All these things combine to imply the fellow in question is a total nut case.
All that said, the following pair of paragraphs:

Use an immense amount of words to express one very small, easily articulated idea: the Obama Administration is like the Nazi Party.

Comparing Obama to Hitler is like comparing Bush Junior to Chairman Mao.
Both men started or accelerated wars that caused great death and destruction.
Both men's economic policies caused hardship for it's citizens.
Both men were by and large not taken seriously by the world community.
Both men used internal controls to wipe out political foes.
Sound ridiculous enough for you bacasper? |

OK, I have a confession to make. I am neither John Hoefle nor Lyndon LaRouche There, I said it.
Can I post an article for discussion without having to wholeheartedly support every detail in it? While I admit that this article is a bit OTT (even for me!), if you do not realize the truth of its essence, i.e. people will die as a result of funds preferentially transferred from health care to the banksters and Wall Street, and that people in Obama's inner circle are active proponents of pro-death policies, you are missing its points. |

I am not Tony Papert either. But let's take a look at Obama's health advisors.
Obama`s Nazi Doctors and Their `Reforms`
`Translated into English, this simply means that medicines should be withheld from the old, as is now being done in Britain, where Hitlerian fascism was first invented.`
by Tony Papert
May 16�Since at latest the mid-1920s, Adolf Hitler had wanted to institute mass programs to kill off Germany's chronically ill and other "useless eaters," but, at the same time, he knew that the German population would not let him get away with it yet. This was still the case even after Hitler became Germany's absolute dictator in February 1933, in the aftermath of the Reichstag Fire. He had to wait six years longer; only the beginning of World War II gave him the opportunity he had been waiting for. Thus, it was not until October 1939, that Hitler finally issued his (top-secret) decree launching the "T4" extermination program against tens of thousands of selected patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and insane asylums. The Fuehrer himself emphasized the connection to the war by backdating his order to Sept. 1, the first day of the war.
Just so, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, special health-care advisor to Obama's Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag, and a member of HHS's 15-man Competitive Effectiveness Research Council, which is deciding what drugs and treatments will be prohibited. Ezekiel Emanuel recognized by October 2008, that the current economic breakdown crisis, and even the multi-trillion dollar costs of the Paulson-Summers bank bailout fraud, could be used as the equivalent of war, to force Americans to acquiesce to Nazi-like health-care policies they would not otherwise tolerate.
In October 2008, when George Bush was still President, Ezekiel wrote in the online Huffington Post that,
"with trillions of dollars evaporating in this crisis, millions of Americans face the prospect of losing their homes and jobs, and witness a dramatic contraction of their retirement savings. In response, the public will desperately want financial security, and health care is a critical element of that.... Under the threat of losing everything, Americans may feel content with the guarantee of a decent plan that covers cost-effective treatments with some restrictions on choice and services to save money.... The huge increase in the federal debt that these bailouts will entail intensifies the pressure to rein in healthcare costs."
Emanuel wrote that his sometime co-author,
"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 get all three."
What sort of health-care reform does Emanuel hope to push through under cover of crisis and panic? Just consult his 1998 paper written with Margaret Pabst Battin, "What are the Potential Cost Savings from Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide?"
Emanuel's co-author Battin is not a physician; her degrees are in philosophy and fiction-writing. But her professional career has been devoted to legitimating mass murder of the aged and sick, with special reference to Hitlerian "health-care reform." Her works include, "Should Medical Care be Rationed by Age?" (1987), "Choosing the Time to Die: The Ethics and Economics of Suicide in Old Age," (1987), "Can We Copy the Dutch? Can Holland's Practice of Voluntary Euthanasia Be a Model for the United States?" (1993), "Is There a Place for Euthanasia in America's Care for the Elderly?" (1996), and "Age-Rationing and the Just Distribution of Health Care; Is There a Duty to Die?" (1987).
The Hastings Center is a foundation-funded so-called "right-to-die" outfit in Garrison, N.Y. (As in Nazi Germany, euphemisms are used to disguise the reality of mass-murder. While the Nazis called their murder policy "mercy-killing Gnadentod," today's, proponents call it "the right to die." The reality is the same.) The Hastings Center propagandizes for suicide, "assisted suicide," and hastening death by withholding medicine, food, and water from the sick. Naturally enough, as we shall see, this Hastings Center is a sort of Mecca for the Nazis preparing Obama's health-care reforms. Margaret Pabst Battin is a Fellow of the Hastings Center, and in 1983, she wrote a paper for Hastings titled, "The Least Worst Death: Selective Refusal of Treatment."
Ezekiel Emanuel is also a Fellow of the Hastings Center, as is his longtime policy partner and deputy, Christine Grady.
How will America's veterans be used as guinea-pigs for the new Nazi health-care policies? Ask Veterans Health Administration Chief Research and Development Officer Joel Kupersmith, also a member of Orszag's 15-member Coordinating Council. Kupersmith has been a Hastings Center Visiting Scholar.
Or consult Margaret Battin's 1992 essay, "Physician-Assisted Suicide�Yes, But in the V.A.?"
THE 'ELECTRONIC RECORDS' RUSE
If you think the Obama team's fixation on "electronic medical records" is nothing but an attempt to trim clerical costs, cut errors, and the like, look at the career of Obama's "health reform czar," Nancy-Ann DeParle. DeParle was a director of the Cerner Corporation from 2001 until she was appointed Counselor to the President and Director of the White House Office for Health Reform in March 2009. Cerner is a global electronic medical record programming and control enterprise with 8,000 employees. It is involved in a pilot project through the Cook County Bureau of Health Services, which provides health care to the indigent in Chicago. Doctors, pharmacy workers, and others are given bonuses for cost-cutting, denying care and medication, to these poor patients. One leading physician in the program reportedly got $400,000 in bonuses last year.
On the electronic medical records, Cerner says it is using them to "eliminate error, variance and waste in the care process." The reference to "variance," refers to a long-running fraud pushed by Dr. Jack Wennberg of Dartmouth University, which was picked up by Obama's OMB Director Peter Orszag. Wennberg and Orszag use statistics to point to alleged cost differences between geographic areas of the United States, in the treatment of one single ailment. Orszag wants all costs nationwide reduced to the lowest cost anywhere, claiming that this would save $700 billion. (Wennberg's fraud would have it that teaching hospitals and imaging machines increase the cost of health-care, when just the opposite is the case.)
Thus, Cerner's (and DeParle's) reference to use of electronic medical records in eliminating "variance and waste," confirms what the knowledgeable have long known. These records will be used to police and punish physicians who insist on giving treatment to those Orszag doesn't want treated, or insist on giving them better treatment than Orszag thinks they should get.
DeParle is also a trustee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, reportedly the biggest funder of "right-to-die" causes in the United States, exceeding even euthanasia and drug-legalization funder George Soros. Robert Wood Johnson is a major funder of the Hastings Center.
Nor is rationing medical care by age, so as to deny it to the old, simply an academic idea of Margaret Battin. It is implicit in the reports of OMB Director Peter Orszag from 2007-08, when he was Director of the Congressional Budget Office. Orszag wrote repeatedly that medicines and treatments should be rationed according to their effect in increasing the number of "Quality Adjusted Life Years" (QALY) of the patient. (Placing a dollar-value on human life, Orszag wrote that experts agreed that a QALY was worth $50,000 or $100,000.)
Translated into English, this simply means that medicines should be withheld from the old, as is now being done in Britain, where Hitlerian fascism was first invented.
Orszag accepted the Hastings Center's invitation to speak before them on May 20, 2008, eventually sending his deputy, Philip Ellis, to speak in his stead. Ellis bemoaned the fact that one-third of health-care expenses go to treat people from conditions from which they die anyway, saying, "this translates into a stark economic crisis."
Orszag's insistence that human life must be measured in dollars is shared by top Obama advisor and fellow-behavioral economist Richard Thaler, who has written a half-dozen papers on such subjects as "The Value of Saving a Life: A Market Estimate" (1974), and "Public Policy toward Lifesaving: Should Consumer Preferences Rule?" (1982).
Historian Henry Friedlander has shown that the Hitler "T4" program to exterminate the handicapped, the sick, and the aged as "useless eaters," was the wedge-end and the model for the subsequent extermination programs against the Communists, the Gypsies, and the Jews. Indeed, the gas-chambers, the killing-squads, and all the procedures set up under "T4" were exactly those used to launch those later, larger extermination-programs.

There you go. Now all you have to do is back that up with some strong arguments and you have an article. Comparing Obama to Hitler is only a hook for absolute cranks.

I don't know about that. The three authors here are talking about it, and while Obama may not quite be Hitler, he is a liar and murderer for starters.
I won't comment on the intelligence of the people who can't understand that. |

I think that there are legitimate, secular objections to be advanced against things like assisted suicide. In fact, I deviate somewhat from the left-wing mainstream in being TOTALLY opposed to physician-assisted suicide. A guy with no arms does not have the right to get a handjob from a physician, even though masturbation is legal for everyone else. Sexual contact between doctor and patient is a line that is just not supposed to be crossed, end of story. And I'd say the same thing about doctors killing patients.
That said, I can think of a dozen more credible writers to be offering this critique than Lyndon LaRouche. And from the sounds of it, Emanuel's research actually provides ammunition for people OPPOSED to doctor-assisted suicide...
Quote: |
According to Dr. Emanuel, studies in the Netherlands�where assisted suicide and euthanasia have been practiced for many years�provide more evidence that pain is a minor factor in requests to end one's life. (The Netherlands, Belgium, and the state of Oregon in the United States are the only places in the world where physician-assisted suicide is legal.) A 1996 update of the Dutch government's landmark Remmelink Report illustrated that, while pain played some role in 32 percent of the requests, there was not a single case in which pain was the only reason for requesting assistance to die.
The findings of Dr. Emanuel's study are remarkably similar to those reported by Meier and her colleagues from the national physician survey discussed in the previous section. Dr. Emanuel found that the major reasons for assisted suicide and euthanasia requests ranged from depression to hopelessness to fear of loss of dignity and being a burden. His Boston study also showed that depressed patients were more likely to discuss euthanasia, to stockpile drugs for future suicide, and to have read the suicide manual Final Exit by the Hemlock Society.
|
This does not sound like something that would support the position of pro-euthanasia activists, because their whole schtick tends to be playing the violin and telling weepy stories about unendurable agony. And they try to portray the patients requesting euthanasia as rational actors, not depressive neurotics. But Emanuel's findings seem to undercut that line of argmentation considerably.

LaRouche is, if nothing else, one of the more creatively inspired of conspiracy theorists. He's not content to just re-hash the Protocols Of Zion over and over again, he actually manages to draw some pretty original connections between various people and groups.
The first time I ever became aware of him was in the 1984 American election, when he ran an infommercial dedicated to exposing the Democratic candidate Walter Mondale an agent of the West German Green Party. |

Some influential lawmakers are beginning to wake up.
The Revolt Begins Against Obama's Fascist Agenda
by Jeffrey Steinberg
June 22�A coast-to-coast revolt, led by leading California and New York Democrats, has begun, against President Barack Obama's plans to dismantle what remains of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal system of protection of the general welfare of America's "forgotten majority." With unemployment skyrocketing all across the country, at rates approaching those of the Great Depression, President Obama's so-called stimulus package has done nothing to reverse that trend, and his much-publicized plans to "reform" Medicare and Social Security are turning out to be nothing more than a replay of Hitler's policies of euthanasia against the elderly, the sick, and other highly vulnerable segments of the American population (see Documentation).
As the result of Lyndon LaRouche's bold intervention, daring to publicly draw the parallels between the Obama health-care "reform" plan and Hitler's Tiergarten-4 (T-4) euthanasia program of 1939-41, some leading Democratic Party circles have begun to wake up to the dangers of what the White House is peddling, and are now, for the first time, pushing back against the drive for the elimination of what Hitler himself called "lives not worthy to be lived."
...
The White House intends to use California as the example for the entire country, and leading Democrats from California and New York have concluded that the President's health-care schemes will further slash funding for medical care in the biggest, most heavily populated states. Thus, on June 21, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) declared on national television, that she will not support the President's health-care reform bill, because it will slash $6 billion from California's health-care system, and will gut other large states.
Earlier, three leading House Democrats from the two states�Rep. Charles Rangel (N.Y.), Rep. George Miller (Calif.) and Rep. Henry Waxman (Calif.) introduced a health-care reform bill that called for increases in Medicare payments, and rejected some other key components of the White House plan. Their bill, which will be the subject of three separate Congressional hearings this week, was drafted after the three House leaders were brought to the White House by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), to be haranged by President Obama, Orszag, and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, on the need to slash health-care expenditures to "save" Medicare and Medicaid, and extend insurance coverage to the uninsured.
The swindle of the White House plan was made transparently obvious, when the President issued a diktat: There will be no consideration of any "single-payer" reform, and no attempt to crack down on the insurance companies and HMOs, with their 30% overhead costs. All the cuts will come from health-care services�including Federal aid to hospitals, which now covers the costs of treating the uninsured.
One senior U.S. intelligence official told EIR: "The Obama White House has totally caved in to the insurance companies and the HMOs."
