All this time people have been wondering why we exist and this guy had it figured out way back in 1939.
Incredible and telling how far we’ve fallen. But you got to give the Dr. some credit for being honest. Most who are for euthaniasia today have figured out that they can’t even hint that there’s a monetary reason for it.

Health Care “Comparative Effectiveness Testing,” there’s $2.2 Billion set aside in the new stimulus package.
It will be your duty to die. It doesn't even sound so outrageous now. In a decade or two (provided we're still here) you'll be forced to abort yourself to provide for the general welfare.
Putting Albany out of its misery was a good idea then, and it’s a good idea now.

Wow, thank you.
He used the phrase “a person who is not a person”. Obviously this movement had serious setbacks due to Hitler and his plan and its execution.
But since that has all faded into history, this evil is really on the rise again.

In the history of the world, few words have ever been categorically linked to evil the way that "Nazi" and "Hitler" have.
However, the left has succeeded in convincing the uninformed public that conservatives who believe in traditional morality are actually Nazis. So, the left no openly pursues Hitler's agenda and labels anyone who opposes it as a Nazi.
But yes, this doctor expressed EXACTLY the same agenda that the Nazis did:

Bismarck was Germany's first "real" post-World War I battleship, with guns and protection of similar scale to those of the best foreign combat ships. Built to a relatively conservative design, she featured a main battery of eight 38 centimeter (15-inch) guns in four twin turrets, two forward and two aft. Her secondary battery of twelve 15 cm (5.9-inch) guns, mounted six on each side in twin turrets, was optimized for use against enemy surface ships, especially destroyers. Her anti-aircraft battery, including sixteen 10.5 cm (4.1-inch) guns in eight twin mounts and several 37mm and 20mm machine guns, reflected the prevailing pre-World War II underestimation of the threat from the air, a failing common to all the World's navies.
The two ships of this class, Bismarck and her "sister" Tirpitz, were quite fast, at just over thirty knots maximum speed. Their steam turbine powerplants, producing some 150,000 horsepower, consumed a great deal of fuel oil, limiting their oceanic "reach" to a degree that was especially critical to a nation with Germany's geography. Future German battleship designs, which World War II aborted, featured diesel engines, intended to produce far greater endurance on the high seas.
Bismarck was very heavily protected against the gunfire of other battleships. With a standard displacement of well over 41,000 tons (about 50,000 tons fully loaded), she was also quite a bit larger than her European and American contemporaries. As shown by the photographs below, originally collected by the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence, this ship's construction greatly interested foreign navies.
Built at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Bismarck's keel was laid at the beginning of July 1936. She was launched with considerable ceremony, including the attendance of Adolf Hitler, on 14 February 1939. Her outfitting, which included the addition of a new "clipper" bow (which the Germans called an "Atlantic" bow), lasted nearly two years. She was commissioned in August 1940, ran trials during the following months, and was not fully ready for service until late in 1940.
She was commissioned in August 1940 and spent the rest of that year running trials and continuing her outfitting. The first months of 1941 were largely devoted to training operations in the Baltic sea. Bismarck left the Baltic on 19 May 1941, en route to the Atlantic, accompanied by the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. On the morning of 24 May, while west of Iceland, the German vessels encountered the British battlecruiser Hood and battleship Prince of Wales. In the ensuing Battle of the Denmark Strait, Hood blew up and sank. The seriously damaged Prince of Wales was forced to break off contact. Bismarck also received shell hits that degraded her seakeeping and contaminated some of her fuel.
Later on 24 May, Prinz Eugen was detached, while Bismarck began a voyage toward France, where she could be repaired. She was intermittantly attacked by carrier planes and surface ships, ultimately sustaining a torpedo hit in the stern that rendered her unable to steer effectively. British battleships and heavy cruisers intercepted the crippled ship on the morning of 27 May. After less than two hours of battle, shells and torpedoes had reduced Bismarck to a wreck. She capsized and sank, with the loss of all but 110 of her crew of some 2300 men.
Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's reaction to Bismarck's loss produced a very cautious approach to future German surface ship operations against Britain's vital Atlantic sea lanes. In June 1989, just over forty-eight years after she sank, the German battleship's battered hulk was located and photographed where she lies upright on a mountainside, nearly 16,000 feet below the ocean surface.
Homer, I hijacked your ping list for this. Hope you and the members of your list don't mind.
A letter sent to a girl in Bournemouth led yesterday to the arrest of two members of a gelignite gang wanted for the 'blowing of a safe at a cooperative store and the theft of 470 pounds. A third man got wind of the impending police swoop on the Hotel de la Plage, Havre-le-Pas, and escaped.
Residents at La Plage Hotel were at lunch when Centenier C. G. Grand of St Helier, and six members of the paid police in civilian clothing entered and, before most of the lunchers knew what had happened, two men had been handcuffed and chase was being given to the third man, alleged to be the leader of the gang. One of them apparently more alert than the others, made his escape by way of the windows of the dining room overlooking the promenade and got clean away.
The third man, for whom active search still continues, is described as: - Edward Chapman, alias Arnold Edward Chapman, Edward Arnold Chapman, Edward Edwards and Thompson, a professional dancer, slim build, six feet in height, fresh complexion, small mustache, dressed in white shirt, yellow spotted tie, blue sleeveless pullover, gray flannels and brown sandals and no socks. He is believed to be a dangerous character. He may, by now, have obtained a jacket or an overcoat from somewhere as he has money in his possession.
The search for Chapman goes on and all ships are being watched. Anyone who may see this man or who may know anything of his whereabouts is requested to inform the Police Station immediately.
.
DONT WORRY. THEY CATCH HIM.
.
The island-wide search for the man Chapman, who escaped when police raided the Hotel di la Plage, is at an end. Chapman through information received by the St Helier Police, was found last night in bed in a lodging house in Sand Street, and admitted his identity to police constables. He also admitted breaking into West Park Pavilion last night.
Chapman gave the police no trouble and made a voluntary statement that he had 'done in' the safe.
This morning Chapman appeared before the magistrate, and after being remanded asked if his girlfriend could be allowed to leave the island. 'I have a girlfriend here,' he said, speaking in a cultured tone, 'and she is in a very embarrassing position. She has been cross-examined by police and watched and I would like to ask if these investigations might cease as she knows nothing of why we are here'.
The Magistrate: 'If she had been wise she would have gone already. We do not want her here. There is nothing against her and she is free to leave the island when she likes.'
The accused was then removed o the cells and his 'girlfriend', an attractive blonde with blue eyes and a long page-boy bob, whose name is said to be Betty Farmer, also left the court.
Did a little research! A hell of a story! I have some vague memories of the movie, too.
I, for one, don't mind one bit!
OK with me. You had better keep a note of this post so you will know where to refer us three years hence when the next chapter of the mysterious saga occurs.
There is a fantastic book on it too. Well worth the read.
