Quoting Ronald Reagan! I’m from the government and I’m here to help! The scariest words that have been well expressed with the Covid con!

The most chilling phrase in the English language is, “for the greater good.“

The hearing the other day clearly showed these solons have pushed aside all ethics they may have once had and become 100% lobbyists for the big pharmaceutical companies. Bernie Sanders basically admitted they have all been corrupted by taking big pharma money. I think age may have removed Bernie’s filters. He was angry because RFK is not corrupt.

If I were a betting man I would place my money on the side that all government politicians receive full exemptions from any of these MAID policies just as they were exempt from the mRNA injections. A great example of a totalitarian communist system.

These people are all monsters and need to be jailed! The American congress is more corrupt than the Roman Senate in the end days of Rome. Even in the Roman senate there were some uncorrupted senators. It seems here they are all on the take!

We believe a few are NOT corrupted, including Rep. Massie and Sen. Ron Johnson. Probably others such as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Anna Paulina Luna, Paul Gosar, and others that we've missed. It's important to support the good guys and gals while calling out the bad ones.

BTW I like Ron Johnson, he’s been one of the senators trying to bring the truth into the light. I think they have all taken money one way or another, just my opinion.

I quickly pulled this off the web, I’ll check out Massie. Public campaign finance records confirm that Ron Johnson has received money from pharmaceutical companies through political action committees (PACs) and executives. The contributions have sparked criticism and scrutiny regarding his positions on healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry.

I agree with you Big E, there were some, not many, in Rome with integrity also.

My question is, who is going to have the chutzpah to be able to carry out the process of trial?

Canada is a banana republic. The shit going on up there will make your head spin. I’m still reeling from the RFKjr. Senate hearing. I just hope the changes can be made where medicine can be good for us again. It’s a monumental climb but it’s good to see RFK jr. not backing down and Trump letting him do it.

Looks like Canada is one step closer to following the script of the dystopian movie Logans Run.

Where do you draw the line when its someone's time to "renew" .

Or perhaps Canada is well down the path of another sci-fi classic, Soylent Green.

From Utilitarian Bioethics to Sadomasochism to MAID — these are all evil practices that should NOT be applied to humans, but they are anyway.

This is part of a deeper problem that we need to address and you hit the nail on the head, it’s all about freedom; or as I like to say, autonomy.

Truth be told, we don’t need any of these governing bodies. We can live a wonderful society all by ourselves: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-really

I consider it a certainty that many of those working in this new medical/moral paradigm, specifically the young crop of medical professionals newly harvested from Indoctrination Farm, will tell themselves they are doing it all for the right reasons. I also consider it a certainty that the real power behind this new medical/moral paradigm knows they are not. There is The Deceiver, real or metaphorical, and who would know more about disguising malevolence with a veneer of benevolence? One could be forgiven for being confused and unable to distinguish between the psy-op and the spiritual concept of evil.

First, great article. (Not that i like it; I'm 74 years and a health nut with a great and productive life as measured by ME.) I have a question: Does Canada's MAID policies include organ harvesting and State ownership of such? If so, and if the US at least, Would this constitute illegal "taking" of individual "property"? (I can't believe I'm thinking this way; HOLY COW!)

The CDC reminds me of a house with extensive termite damage. At a certain point it no longer makes sense to replace what has been damaged. The entire structure needs to be replaced. This is the case with the CDC. They are beyond salvation in my opinion.

There is only one way to block this incoming usurpation of unalienable individual rights: immutable primacy for the individual patient and the attending physician of their choosing, in mutual agreement, determining what is medically necessary in the clinical moment. They shall be the sole arbiters of what is medically necessary. No interlopers, clerks or non-attending third parties as we see normalized today. In this paradigm, medical insurance covers any and all medical procedures that are medically necessary as determined by the patient and the attending physician of their choosing.

Anything less is barbaric, vulgar and uncivilized. How perverse the academic community masquerades as moral sophisticates when they plot to dehumanize and euthanize by fiat usurpation the lives of innocents; often doing so for personal celebrity and financial self-interest. The immutable primacy of the subject patient and the attending physician of their choosing as the sole arbiters of what is medically necessary must become the overarching central unifying principle and prime directive for practicing the medical arts in our modern nation. Anything less dehumanizes, reduces and subordinates the patient to an unconscionable status not unlike ordinary economic livestock bred for harvest.

Every human has a fingerprint but no two are identical. The same is true with our physiology and our metabolism. How can our individual episodes of illness and disease be any different?

One size does not fit all. It's an ad hoc economic strategy that will do more harm than good. It must do more harm than good, as it's a fatally flawed approach that defies the reality of individual metabolism, physiology and being.

Our nation's system must return to its core fundamental principle: "First Among All Things, Do No Harm."

To give the state authority to make choices for the greater good one must believe that, the state is capable of determining what that greater good is and that those comprising the state are not capable of corruption and self service. I believe neither!

Your readers may be interested in a recent interview about Canada's MAID system on American Thought Leaders.

How Euthanasia Became an Epidemic in Canada. Host: Jan Jekielek. Guest: Amanda Achtman (09/03/25, podcast, video 01:03:00). We wrote about the interview, linked to it, and offered related links in a Substack note, here: https://substack.com/@bige47/note/c-153009171

The US is well along this path, especially including its DOD-prescribed COVID countermeasures -- isolating and killing people in hospitals and nursing homes, injecting bioweapons called "vaccines", social isolation, and more.

Many states now offer death with dignity options as well, though US standards appear far more stringent than Canada's. With Medicare and Medicaid going bust, we may see much more Canada-like actions here in the good old USA.

which was preceded by an episode of "fallout" quite a while ago where Jan and I went deep into the topic.

We must have missed that one, but covered most of the Fallout series, which is well worth watching! Sorry about the missed episode.

In your discussion of applications of utilitarian bioethics was the example of two critically ill patients with one ventilator, what is the answer? No-one gets the ventilator? That example stumped me. All in all, the notion of acting in the best interests of a few for the greater good appeals to a morality that has been promoted for a very long time and is often a knee-jerk reaction without deeper consideration of the long term consequence. Playing on a human emotional tendency to alleviate suffering is being used for extreme situations and the masses are not critically thinking. To alleviate intractable pain in a terminally ill patient who is pleading for this release is humane in my opinion, having worked in hospice and reading books from doctors experienced in this field is different than ending someones life for much more minor reasons. That is where the camel is in the tent. I appreciate the fine tuning being offered since I am one of those who has been influenced by "Utilitarian Bioethics".

Drifting into the area I keep harping on....science/medicine. Science is almost purely objective, its goals well defined and results open to rigorous scrutiny. Medicine however is mainly subjective and therefore subject to widely varying opinions. And to say which is right and which is wrong often comes down to a coin toss.
