Nazis: Pioneers in Medicine
by Patrick J. Buchanan March 23, 2005
Ours is a nation where a judge may not sentence Beltway sniper Lee Malvo to death, because he is too young to die, but can sentence Terri Schiavo to death, because she is too severely handicapped to live.
Schiavo continues the process of dying by starvation and dehydration, a method of capital punishment most would consider criminal if done to a pet.
This was the method used at Auschwitz to murder Father Maximilian Kolbe, the priest who volunteered to take the place of a Polish father of a large family, who was one of 10 the camp commandant had selected for execution in reprisal for the escape of a prisoner.
After being starved and dehydrated for days, Kolbe was injected by his Nazi captors with carbolic acid. He died a martyr's death, said the church that canonized him. That is what would have happened to Terri. Only she would have been denied the lethal injection by those watching her die.
That there arose a national outcry at the execution of Schiavo ââ¬â so loud Congress and President Bush heard it and came to the rescue ââ¬â is a sign America is not morally dead ... yet. But a culture of death has taken deep root in America's soul.
One wonders if our young, so many of them cheated of a knowledge of history in schools they are forced to attend, are aware of how closely our elites approximate, in belief and argument, the elites of Weimar and Nazi Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.
In 1920, Dr. Alfred Hoche, professor of psychiatry at the University of Freiburg, and Karl Binding, a law professor at Leipzig, authored "The Permission to Destroy Life Unworthy of Life." They urged a national policy of assisted suicide for those "empty shells of human beings" ââ¬â the terminally ill and mentally retarded, and those with brain damage and psychiatric conditions.
In October 1933, The New York Times quoted the Nazi minister of justice as saying that ridding Germany of such poor creatures would make it "possible for physicians to end the tortures of incurable patients, upon requests, in the interests of true humanity." "If we desire a certain type of civilization," said George Bernard Shaw, "we must exterminate the sort of people who do not fit in."
In researching "The Death of the West," I discovered that the first episode of publicized "legal" killing of an innocent was the case of "Baby Knauer." The father of the little boy, who was blind, retarded and missing an arm and a leg, appealed to the Fuhrer for permission to have his son put to death. Hitler referred the matter to his physician, Karl Brandt. In 1938, permission was granted.
When war came in 1939, a program code-named "Aktion 4" went about systematically eliminating all "life unworthy of life" in the Reich. By 1940, scores of thousands had been put to death. Then, Bishop Clemens von Galen took to the pulpit of Munster Cathedral to damn Hitler's regime for "plain murder" and direct German Catholics to "withdraw ourselves and our faithful from their (Nazi) influence so that we may not be contaminated by their thinking and their ungodly behavior."
"Aktion 4" went underground. One of its graduates, Franz Stangl, would turn up two years later as commandant of Treblinka.
After the war, the German doctors who had carried out Hitler's orders in violation of the Hippocratic Oath were judged guilty of "crimes against humanity." The Dutch doctors who refused to cooperate in the Nazi program of eliminating "life unworthy of life" during the occupation of Holland were placed among the moral heroes of an immoral era.
Ironically, as the protest to save Schiavo built up steam over the weekend, The New York Times in its "Saturday Profile" warmly featured another Dutch doctor. Dr. Eduard Verhagen has, said the Times, become famous in Europe for having "presided over the medically induced deaths of four extraordinarily ill newborns."
"For his efforts to end what he calls unbearable and incurable suffering," wrote reporter Gregory Crouch, "Dr. Verhagen has been called Dr. Death, a second Hitler and worse ââ¬â mostly by American opponents of euthanasia."
Verhagen describes himself as a bearer of peace and happiness to children. When these suffering little ones die, he says, "the child goes to sleep. ... It's beautiful in a way. ... They're children who are severely ill and in great pain. It is after they die that you see them relaxed for the first time. You see their faces in a way they should be for the first time."
Franz Stangl could not have put it better. Hitler's doctors may prove to have been the medical pioneers of 21st century.

Welcome to the new America that Bush has made for all us, even if someone were to try and take us back to square one I know that it would not happen in my life time.

You blame Bush for the abortion/hygiene/euthanasia movement PJB discusses in this article? What about a tyrannical judiciary?

The normally lucid PJB drops into hysterical mode with the ol' "You're Just Like The Nazis!" fallback to make it look like the Terri Schiavo case is emblematic of the Death of the West. It's no such thing. The Terri Schiavo case is about a tragic woman from the Philly 'burbs who suffered an irreversible brain injury a few years back, will never come to, and has a husband who wants to the pull the plug and parents who don't. That's it. It says nothing about our society beyond the ridiculous lengths people will go to by way of moral posturing.
The medical frontier has expanded to create the question of whether withdrawal of artificial life support is "murder" or the cessation of support. The expansion of this frontier was brought to you by white (and probably some Jewish) doctors and medical technicians. That's not "the Death of the West," that's progress in medicine. Years ago, it wouldn't have been an issue to begin with because we couldn't have kept her alive anyway. Funny how they don't have these debates in the heart of the Congo. They just say, "Pass me that legbone."
A comparison to Nazi Germany and the USA Today is ridiculous. Love the Nazis or hate 'em, they weren't "anti-life." They set up the lebensborn to crank out as many German babies as possible. It was a young German girl's duty to have a baby for the Fuhrer. They weren't so keen on other forms of life, but that doesn't distinguish them much from Zionist Jews and warring Brazilian forest tribes.

Amen, Jack. By the way, that is something that candidate Buchanan explicitly said he would do if elected President.
Great article, Centinel. Thank you for posting.

I am no friend of Jorge Arbusto but even I can't pin this situation on him alone. The decay and decline of this once great nation began and was in full force long before the advent of chimpface.

Reminds me of the story when President Andrew Jackson was sparing with the Supreme Court on some issue. He was quoted as saying "Judge Tanney has issued his decision, now let him try to enforce it."
Mr. Jackson understood the separation of powers.

You have some reading to do.
I suggest you start with the appearances of Rep. George H. Bush in the Congressional Record (1967-1970) to discuss downbreeding, genetic quality, who should be allowed to breed, what techniques (currently used on cattle) we might apply to manufacture more perfect humans as -- birth control having served to divest sex from procreation -- marriage partners could enjoy sex but purchase their children from clinics if and when they decided to reproduce.
Bush, Kissinger, Rumsfeld ... everybody's got a piece of the action as the Legislature affirms the eugencist appointments to the NIH and AAS, the Executive Branch mints new "educational policy" and funding -- in the millions of 1970 dollars -- is handed to defense-hawks like Rummy ... whose cadres at Dyncorp got a nice chunk of change in the December spending bill for the continued dissemination of US-AIDs in Africa.
It's appalling how ****ing ignorant the "racialists" on this forum are where comes the sympathetic souls they have in the likes of George H. Bush, Henry Kissinger and Donald Rumsfeld.

That's a good start.
When do they get the same pat on the back for actually making things happen that Stormfront gets?
Heil Bush!

That's not fair, askel. You're painting with way too broad a brush here.
I swear, it gets very, very discouraging when you get hammered from all sides on any particular issue. Makes me want to pull the plug myself on this thing.

I know you're made of tougher stuff than that.
And I'm pretty certain you know it's not I who paint with a "broad brush" where concerns the Whitists on the one hand and my noting for the record that, judging from this site at times, being white certainly primes a person for the most heinous and anti-Christian attitudes possible towards one's fellow man.
I'm sick of hearing tripe about how we should be dogging Bush for killing a few whites and plenty of brown folks in Iraq when the Bush Team -- along with the usual suspects from the WASP Interlock -- has been directly responsible for the deaths of more dysgenics, at home and abroad, than we'll ever comprehend.
