Soros and Schiavo

"We should consider laws that permit next of kin to decide to forgo life sustaining medical interventions even when a patient's wishes are not known," said George Soros in a speech of November 30, 1994, delivered at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.

In that speech, Soros announced the launch of his Project on Death in America, a program designed to steer U.S. medicine toward a rationing system whereby only the fit received proper care, while the unfit – such as Terri Schiavo – were written off and allowed to die. In the same speech, Soros said:

"Can we afford to care for the dying properly? The number of people dying in the United States currently stands at 2.2 million annually. Increases in cancer and AIDS deaths and the aging of the baby boomers will cause this figure to climb faster than the population… The fear is that the dying of the elderly will drain the national treasury. … Aggressive, life-prolonging interventions… are much more expensive than proper care for the dying."

Over the next ten years, Soros' Open Society Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation poured $200 million into Project on Death in America.

Remember that it only took $140 million for Soros and his fellow Pewgate conspirators to bamboozle Americans into surrendering their precious right of free political speech, via the McCain-Feingold Act of 2002 (see "Pewgate: The Battle of the Blogosphere.") How much more could they buy with $200 million?

The change in the legal and medical climate which paved the way for Terri Schiavo's bureaucratic murder arose directly from the work of Soros' Project on Death in America.

Saving Social Security – the Hard Way

In the Schiavo case, judges are now setting guidelines that will hold life-and-death significance for each and every one of us. Sooner than we think, we will grow old and feeble, unable to defend ourselves physically. As we lay in our beds, nurses will come bearing syringes. They will put us down like dogs in a veterinarian's office.

This is the solution that many among our elites have quietly devised for sparing the U.S. government the financial burden of providing medical entitlements to 76 million aging baby boomers. This is their plan to save the New Deal, the Great Society and the Social Security system.

It would seem that Terri Schiavo had the misfortune to be targeted as a test case for a wide-reaching change in medical policy. That, I believe, is why her would-be killers - those in black robes as well as white ones - run roughshod over the law with such fearless confidence. Powerful forces stand behind them. Hundreds of billions of dollars in future medical entitlements are at stake. And we all know that money talks.

The evil George Soros and his little pet, the democrat party, must be utterly destroyed.
You are right in that we must fight against, and destroy them.
Evil has taken many faces and forms over the centuries, (Nazism, communism, slavery, and so on). It seems no matter how many of these evil faces are destroyed others appear.
In our time having defeated Nazism, and Communism we now must fight against the culture of death and evil in the beliefs of Soros, the democratic party, and true Islam.
These are the faces of evil in our time, and you are right we must fight them, or we will submit to them.

Be prepared for attacks here on how inane your views are.

Possibly this is the dark underbelly of the Schiavo episode. I was suspicious of the euthanasia movement but could be this.

How very creepy.

We know there are evil forces at work in America, we see it everyday in the liberal agenda. The right is wrong, wrong is right we have all commented on.

Again, I never thought I would live to see us have such to deal with. Apparently, I may not from Soros' view.

Ironically, this is what it says on Soros' OSI site in regard to their Mental Health Initiative:

Call for Applications: User Involvement Grants

The Mental Health Initiative (MHI) encourages organizations to apply for its User Involvement grants, which promote the participation of people with mental health problems in policy making and service delivery in Central and Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union.

MHI supports the active and meaningful participation of people with mental health problems in shaping policies and services that meet their needs and respect their human rights. Support for this participation ("user involvement") is designed to ensure that people with mental health problems are able to live as equal citizens with full human rights, with real opportunities to be as independent as possible, and as active participants in their communities.

Meaningful participation by people with mental health problems may take many forms. This call for applications focuses on:

Inclusion of people with mental health problems in service-delivery organizations (the organization may or may not be restricted to mental health services, e.g., the organization may be a housing service, a legal service, a domestic-violence service, or an employment service) in staff, management, and governance roles;

Inclusion of people with mental health problems in civil society advocacy organizations in staff, management, and governance roles.

Soros utterly despises Christians, and he makes no bones about it.

Venizelos, thank you for posting this story. As I read it, I was reminded of the predictions made by the pro-life community. They have been warning us ever since Roe v. Wade that euthanasia of the elderly would be the inevitable result of the "slippery slope" created by killing the unborn.

Why am I not surprised?

Thanks for posting this. I have smelled the scent of $oro$ in this mess for a long time, and I waited until the 24th of this month to post the following.

Soros's Death in America link. $oro$ has invested 45 million in his Eugenics for America program. That will buy a lot of judges, mediots, lawyers, politicians and brown shirted electronic posters to push and defend the murder of Terri.

Once again we see the obscene work of George $oro$ in the Eugenics of America or as he has labeled it: "Project on Death In America".

Yet George Soros is afraid his reputation will be damaged by the accusations of insider trading. As if his reputation *could* get worse.

$oro$ buying out stupid Americans to enable his Euthanasia of Americans to become the law of the land.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

My gut was telling me that Soros was tied in somehow. I remember when Navigator wrote way-out things about him, although never verified or properly sourced. FReegards....

Under Hitlery Clinton, once one quit paying taxes and got sick, they would be considered 'unproductive' . So long, then. These people want NOMANCLATURA (Spelling) where only the elite under communism receive special medical treatment, their own specialty food stores and other priveledges, etc.

"When I listen to Soros I feel like I am living in Germany in the 1930's."

If the Federal Reserve Bank dried up all money like they did in the late twenties, a socialist type like FDR, Hitler, Stalin or a Scudder type could get in power and never give it up until their death.

[unkus]

No way that they would allow anything like Free Republic to exist, either.

[The_Reader_David]

So far as I know, it is the uniform view of pious Orthodox Christians that Soros, while not The Antichrist, is most assuredly a part of the forces preparing the way for The Antichrist.

His anti-Christianity is most virulently directed toward Holy Orthodoxy, and all of his 'pro-democracy' agitation in Eastern Europe needs to be seen from that perspective--it is all poisoned by the kind of pro-death, secularist attitude his comments above evinces, and directed at 'freeing' Eastern Europe not from the vestiges of Communism, but from Christianity.
