FRANKLY SPEAKING. By PAT FRANK.

WASHINGTON| OF ALL the stories that have come out of Nazi Germany since the unhappy day that Hitler took power, the one that has caused more shivers to run up and down the spine of your correspondent was the news that the Nazis now practice euthanasia to eliminate from their super-state the ill and the aged.

This practice isn’t directed against the Jews. It is directed against Hitler’s own people the last, of pure Aryan blood, and it is positive proof that when you deal with Hitler you must not regard him as a human being, but as an inhuman fragile beast which destroys that vessel which God endowed with a soul with no more compunction than a scientist dissects a tadpole.

It is a story that we particularly recommend to all Townsendites. In three months last year the Gestapo put to death 85,000 “pure Aryans” whose only crime was that they consumed the food of the State while at the same time, through age and illness, they were unable to contribute to the Reich’s war effort.

This isn’t an atrocity story, but the relating of facts gathered by leaders of the Catholic Church in Germany and relayed both to Rome and the Catholic church in this country. It so aroused the Pope that he had pubished in his Acta Apostolicae Sedis—a monthly bull for the official information of his Bishops—an edict that euthanasia, or killing of the innocent,” was contrary to the laws of God. The very manner in which the Gestapo went about doing away with the aged and the ill should be a caution to the humanity that the Devil, truly, is here on earth. First they injected into the veins of the victims a subtle and deadly drug. When this was found to be expensive, they exterminated them, wholesale in hospitals,. They would place the victims in a hermetically sealed rooms, and fill it with poison gas. Even this method was an affront to the new, icy German efficiency and economy. They avoidod all expense whatsoever by injecting an air bubble into the arteries, causing death when it reached the heart.

While the story is harrowing enough as it is, this writer is convinced that it is only the beginning. If the Nazis kill their own old and sick so that they will not be forced to feed them, what will they do to the old and sick of the other nations of Europe?

It is unlikely that when inhuman beasts have finished organizing their “new order" the human being—except for German “Aryans" who are both young and healthy—will be viewed not in the light of a human being at all, but as a producing machine. And just as a machine is scrapped when its cogs become worn, so will the Europeans who have knuckeled under to Hitler’s “new order” be scrappod in the twilight of their productivc life.

There are other dangers in the Nazi euthanasia plan which have not been spoken of, but which most certainly exist, if the Gestapo is still the Gestapo.

Imagine, if you will, that Otto Krause, the middle-aged head of a German University, but lukewarm Nazi, is head of a university. The first day that Prof. Krause goes to a hospital for a minor operation the Gestapo visit him.

"Poor Otto," says the Gestapo captain, shaking his head, you, look very ill. But I can assure you that it will be painless. If Prof. Krause protests, he will be told he is giving his life for the State, for the Nazi attitude on enthanasia is this: "If young men, fighting for their country are forced to die in the field, why shouldn’t older men who perform no useful work for the State also die for their country?”

I regret to report that since the meager details of Hitler’s enforced euthanasia leaked out, I have heard a number of good Americans say they thought euthansia wasn’t a bad idea. They saw a good deal of logic in it.

It is not necessary to add that these fellows were all young and healthy.

Sounds like modern day democrats to me. They are all in on killing the unborn and elderly.

Most hate crimes today are committed by Islamists or their liberal cheerleaders.

Euthanasia was all the rage—in the pre-Hitler Weimar Rebulic AND here in the good ole USofA.

All the Enlighted Cool Kids were diggin’ it.

As Socialism marches ever forward in America, let the democrats remember that 100,000 German homos were thrown in Nazi Concentration Camps with some 10,000 to 15,000 killed.

They still are.

Their viewpoint is that unless you are useful to them you should not be alive.

I’ve read two stories about Canada recently. In the first, an eighty year old woman went to the hospital for diagnosis of an illness. Instead of diagnosing, they gave her an aggressive pitch for euthanasia. In the second, a priest with a broken hip was taken to the hospital. They tried to press him into the euthanasia program.

Yep. Lefties from Hitler to Sanger enthusiastically promoted it.

Hitler was a monster, no doubt, but Stalin was worse.

According to Solzhenitsyn, Stalin approved killings just to meet quotas, and often had condemned prisoners buried alive.

Apparently so, since he wrote for the Washington Herald at that time.

American Socialist Margaret Sanger... The most vocal advocate of abortion was also a strong believer in euthanasia to eliminate those who were a ‘burden’ on the state. She also thought that if they could just start sterilizing the poor they could eventually eliminate poverty.

Her and Canada’s Tommy Robinson (a relative of Donald and Kiefer Sutherland) were both strong Socialist and advocates of euthanasia and sterilization to make ‘society’ better.

Today’s Liberals in Canada and Democrats in the United States see them as iconic visionaries... That is as sick as it gets.

The minute I get dementia, can’t carry on a lucid conversation, can’t remember friends or family, can’t wipe my own butt, just give me the needle and get it over with.

I have no desire to ever “exist”.

I worked in a nursing home for about 6 months, seeing some of those poor bastards just laying there, out of it, with no quality of life made me never want to be in that position.

Logic unanchored by morality is one hell of a dangerous thing.

Years ago I casually remarked that if I get dementia that I would just shoot myself. My sister-in-law came back at me and said if I had dementia I would not know what a gun is for.

The same applies to you, if you get it you will not know what a needle is good for.

Depending on one’s religious beliefs, suicide is not the preferred method of dying.

Only the effeminate homosexuals were persecuted by the NAZIs. Why? The NAZI party officially began in a gay bar in Munich called the “Bratwurstgloeckl” (phallic innuendo). It was comprised of former German military men who were kicked out for buggery. These were not a feminine homosexuals. They were militant Butch homosexuals. Adolf Hitler, their leader, was accused of being a male prostitute in Vienna / Munich (starving artist days) by Major General Henning von Tresckow. This is extensively documented in the book, “The Pink Swastika”

You capitalized "Socialism", "America", "German", and "Nazi Concentration Camps". So, it's not just lazy-type, it's time you learn there's a difference between a "democrat" and a "Democrat".

All socialist countries kill their own people.
Canada kills more and more people every year.

Google: liverpool care pathway scandal, dailymail

Many articles. The NHS changed the name but the killing still goes on.
The hospitals here in the USA were paid to deny care for people who had the covid flu.
Money talks with some!

Hospitals bribed to put patients on pathway to death
Daily Mail
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2223286/Hospitals-bribed-patients-pathway-death-Cash-incentive-NHS-trusts-meet-targets-Liverpool-Care-Pathway.html
Oct 25, 2012 — Hospitals are paid millions to hit targets for the number of patients who die on the Liverpool Care Pathway, the Mail can reveal.

They have been murdering 120,000 people a year. You are put on a death list unknown to you. This due to your age and medical history.

If you call for help they will not show up, if someone else calls and you are picked up then you could wait in the ambulance at the hospital or on a gurney in the hall. If you have relatives come with you and are put in a room, what the staff will not tell them is the patient will not get any medical care or water.
_____________________

How long does it take to die once you are in the liverpool care pathway
It usually involves the withdrawal of nutrition and fluids and increases the amount of sedative and pain relief administered to the patient. If the Care Pathway is initiated and progressed appropriately death usually occurs within 29 hours

MAiD is all the rage. I thought it very ironic that after saving the life of a suicide attempt, they offered them MAiD.
