CALLER: Hi, Rush!
RUSH: Hi.
CALLER: I just wanted to know if you happened to catch George Felos on Fox & Friends this morning.
RUSH: Yes.
CALLER: What did you think?
RUSH: Well, there's a number of things that we have from Felos. One of the things -- what did you want to ask me about regarding Felos?
CALLER: Well, when they got to the last question I thought he looked, like, totally stunned. I think he thought that he did really, really good throughout the whole thing looking real calm.
RUSH: For people that don't know, what was the question?
CALLER: About the Hemlock Society?
RUSH: What was the question? I want you to tell me.
CALLER: Oh, I'm sorry. They had asked him -- they had heard a lot of talk on the radio -- or on talk radio, and they wanted to know if he really and truly belonged to the Hemlock Society.
RUSH: Yeah, and he said that he didn't.

| CALLER: You didn't think that he looked stunned? RUSH: Well, I think he looked stunned. I think he looked stunned, but he was not -- from everything I've been able to gather, he was not -- a member of the Hemlock Society. CALLER: Oh, he wasn't? RUSH: He was not. Here's what we know about the Hemlock Society and the Felos bunch, and this comes from Judi McLeod from the Toronto Free Press, it's a website, and we had the story yesterday. "Dr. Ronald Cranford, handpicked by Michael Schiavo to examine Terri and on whose say-so Terri was categorized in 'persistent vegetative state.' Cranford is the MD who officially ordered Terri’s feeding tube removed on March 18.... He was 1992’s featured speaker for the pro-euthanasia Hemlock Society, which was renamed The Choice in Dying Society," but not Felos. However, they're all connected because all these people are -- well, except for one, all of them are -- board members of the hospice in Pinellas Park. But Felos himself was not a member of the Hemlock Society. We have the sound bite. I think he was stunned not by the question about his membership but just the whole idea that it had been discovered that everybody involved in this hospice, that all the board members have and Felos does, too -- do have connections to people who are part of the Hemlock Society. It was a pro-euthanasia group. The question from Steve Doocy was, "Talk radio has been buzzing about your connection to the Hemlock Society. Could you just make that clear for us?" FELOS: I don't know what they're... Uhhh, I don't know what they're talking about. I've -- I've -- I've spoken, uhhh, I've spoken before the Hemlock, uh, Society and -- but I'm -- I'm -- I'm not a member. Ummm, I don't serve, uh, in that organization, so I -- I -- don't know what they're talking about. RUSH: I think he was a little stunned that the whole concept of the Hemlock Society was brought up here. I think this is something they thought was pretty much unknown because the mainstream press wasn't talking about it, the mainstream press is not talking about these connections. |
BREAKING: GOTTA SEE THIS:
The relationship of "Judge" Murderer Greer to Scientology and the Murder of Lisa McPherson 
Judgenfuhrer George Greer's biography
Rush used to talk about how much he liked Tim Russert..I have never shared that view. I have always seen Russert as someone trying very hard to cover up a large, passive-aggressive anger against Judeo-Christian values in this society, taking every opportunity to knock them down while trying to make it appear that he is just an inquisitive journalist. Make no mistake about it..He is a very strong spoke in the MSM wheel.

Nothing, in the hands of honest people who do not have an obsession which drives them toward the result of death over life. Necrophiliacs? It would not be appropriate here to go into the fantasies of people who have this problem.
"My uncle's parkinson's disease progressed to a point where he couldn't swallow. His powers of speech and mobility were long-gone too. He made it clear that he didn't want the feeding tube, and equally clear that he understood the consequences. He was gone in a few days.
Was that suicide?"
No, that was NOT suicide. These situations are being used to confuse the issue by people who want to grab power over who lives and who dies. When people clearly request to be relieved from unbearable suffering and distress as a result of disease and age, where no recovery is possible and all therapies have been exhausted, it is not suicide. The inherent danger here is what we just saw with Terri Schiavo..That others who have something to gain will MAKE THE CLAIM for the disabled or sick person without their consent, just to get rid of them. Old people with money and assets have to worry a lot about this. RATIONALIZATION caused Germany to let Hitler have his way concerning the holocaust..The degree of reationalization to which some people will go when they have something to gain from an event or a belief is truly horrifying.
Terri could swallow. The tube was to torture her and for the convenience of the Hospice staff.
"What is hemlock?"
It is poison..Socrates was executed through being forced to drink Hemlock. He was executed because he was too intelligent..Like Terri, he was on a small end of a continuum..He was too different to be tolerated.
LOL
So, there's a link to the sci-fi's? Interesting. I sometimes go to a church in downtown Clearwater, about 500 feet from the Sandcastle (Scientology headquarters). They pray constantly for the salvation of the Sci-fi leadership. Glad to know that the nation is now interested in the insane silliness of Felos and friends.
Hemlock is a poisonous herb, typically brewed into a tea to speed up ones demise.
Yeah, but we're talking about the American courts, not America.
Hemlock is an evergreen tree, similar to a fir or pine. Criminals in Greece were forced to drink it- their electric chair. Socrates died this way.

Ever really notice the words to 'Imagine'? Full-on Communism!!
Nothing is real. We can "produce" anything we want just by thinking about it real hard. That is probably a pretty good Reader's Digest version of it, isn't it? Maybe someone else will know more (but, watch out for proselytizing zealots).
In fact, I'm thinking real hard now that I don't want to get up and go back to the kitchen to refill my cup of coffee. Just a moment . . . thinking . . thinking . . thinking . . . thinking . . . . . (straining) . . thinking . .
Well, crud!! Didn't work. Excuse me. It's off to the kitchen, but I'll be back, AFTER I PUT FORTH SOME REAL EFFORT TO GET MY CUP OF COFFEE!
Poison-hemlock grows throughout the United States. It is very toxic and sheep, cattle, swine, horses, and other domestic animals are poisoned by eating small amounts of green or dried plant. It is also extremely poisonous to humans. Poison-hemlock is sometimes confused with western water hemlock, a more deadly species, because the names are similar. Poison-hemlock is commonly called deadly hemlock, poison parsley, spotted hemlock, European hemlock, and California or Nebraska fern.
Poison-hemlock has white flowers that grow in small erect clusters. Each flower develops into a green, deeply ridged fruit that contains several seed. After maturity, the fruit turns grayish brown. Poison-hemlock starts growing in the early spring. It usually grows for 2 years, but in favorable locations it may be a perennial. Roots of poison-hemlock may easily be mistaken for wild parsnips. Poison-hemlock grows along fence lines, in irrigation ditches, and in other moist, waste places. It may be 2 to 3 meters tall. The hollow stem usually is marked with small purple spots. Leaves are delicate, like parsley, and it has a white taproot. Poison-hemlock is a biennial in the parsnip or wild carrot family.

Being a local resident of Scientology ground zero, I can tell you that it's a seriously strong principality. It's destroyed churches, taken over the downtown Clearwater area, screwed up the local economy and the atmosphere of downtown, gotten away with literal murder at least twice now, and building.
It's as bad in the west central Florida area as the lust principality. The lust thing is stronger in the Tampa area, but they're both opponents of the local churches and prophetic/apostolic move of God around here.
Seriously, be prayed and fasted up before you jump into this thing.
Huh. I thought it was a tree! waddya know- I guess I'd better stop getting my salads from the drainage ditch!!
That anything less was inhumane.
I thought it was spelled Felonys...
I know I saw your reply about the evergreen tree and it is called a Hemlock, but as far as I know it's not the deadly nightshade that Socrates ingested. I believe Socrates used the water plant. Perhaps there are some other FReepers more versed in the lore of hemlock that can fill us in.
