Is there a policy to euthanize older patients in the hospital?

Are older people being killed before their time? What is the role of the state in this dramatic policy-shift?

GR Editor’s Note
In recent developments France’s Macron Government is envisaging Euthanasia as a political mandate under the auspices of the national health authorities 

In September 2022, President Emmanuel Macron presented a plan for a six-month citizens consultation on euthanasia:

“France’s euthanasia legislation, known as the Claeys-Léonetti law, dates from 2016. This law has been criticised for many years by patients and politicians because it only allows a sick person to be sedated, and only if the prognosis is vital in the short term.”

.
The Mentor of President Macron Jacques Attali considers that euthanasia is an instrument of progress. 
.

“Euthanasia will be one of the essential instruments of our future societies in all cases. In a capitalist society, killing machines, prostheses that will eliminate life when it is too unbearable, or economically too expensive, will emerge and will be common practice. ”Jacques Attali, 1981

.

What he says in a more recent statement is that as a socialist he is against extending the life of senior citizens. It’s too costly. 

Euthanasia for Jacques Attali [79 years old] is presented as an instrument of social progress.

The question we are now facing: is euthanasia being considered by national governments as a formal instrument (mandate) of depopulation to be implemented by the national health authorities

Jacqui Deevoy is an investigative journalist who has interviewed over 50 whistleblowers who believe their parents or partners were euthanized while in hospital. While I have no way to verify their claims, Deevoy’s presentation of the evidence is compelling to say the least.

For that reason, I decided to transcribe part of the interview so readers could parse the words for themselves and make their own determination. I should add, that I have read enough anecdotal accounts of suspicious elderly care treatment in Europe and the US (since the pandemic began), that I suspect Deevoy may be onto something bigger and more sinister than we might have imagined. And if there is a grain of truth to what she says, then open-minded people will have to mull-over the prospect that “depopulation” might not be such a loony “conspiracy theory” after all.

 

But that’s for you to decide. I’m merely presenting this video because I found it so disturbing and because I’m convinced that You Tube will remove it before it is widely circulated.

State Euthanasia??

Jacqui Deevoy, investigative journalist:  (Text starts at 2-minute mark)  “Last summer, someone contacted me….he said his father was murdered in hospital… which was pretty shocking… but because I’ve had alot of people coming to me about it… I took it seriously…. So, I started looking into it, and what I found was pretty shocking….  We now have alot of evidence that what he said was true, not just for his father but alot of other people’s relatives as well who were victims to this “protocol”…  I decided that this needed to “go public” so I contacted 28 editors…… But didn’t get even one single reply…. and that surprised me because I’d never been ‘blanked’ so broadly…

“… what I’d actually pitched to them (the 28 mainstream media editors) was a story, backed up with alot of evidence that the elderly were being killed in hospitals, care homes, and hospices; being put on “end of life” care before they needed to be. And I’ve spoken to 50 people who have experienced this firsthand, and I found 16 who were willing to speak to the papers and to go public. …We have so much evidence now.  We have documents from the House of Commons, we have documents to prove that Midazolam was ordered last March, to treat Covid patients. How Midazolam can treat Covid patients, I don’t know, because Covid is a respiratory disease, and Midazolam works by suppressing the respiratory system leading to death. The more midazolam you give, the more likely the person will die. Midazolam is used in America as an execution drug, in a huge amount…. It’s a horrible way to go. I have evidence that Midazolam was given to unconscious patients… people who had one jab and fell unconscious, and while they were still unconscious, were still being administered it, which doesn’t make any sense. There are so many stories. …..

Gareth Icke–…”The proof is there in black and white.. and the amount of this drug that was administered compared to other years, is insane!  It’s on average a 100,000 more doses of it (midazolam) per month then before the pandemic. And, the excuse that it’s being used in operations, but they haven’t done any operations! (The whole thing was a fraud.) So where is this drug going??”

Jacqui Deevoy: “I think we’re all arriving at the same conclusions… I think this is going on worldwide.” (End of interview)

A little background on Midazolam: 

“Midazolam, sold under the brand name Versed, among others, is…used for anesthesia, procedural sedation, trouble sleeping, and severe agitation. It works by inducing sleepiness, decreasing anxiety, and causing a loss of ability to create new memories…. (Wikipedia)
.
End of life care

In the final stages of end-of-life care, midazolam is routinely used at low doses via subcutaneous injection to help with agitation, myoclonus, restlessness or anxiety in the last hours or days of life…

The drug has been introduced for use in executions by lethal injection in certain jurisdictions in the United States in combination with other drugs…. Midazolam acts as a sedative to render the condemned prisoner unconscious, at which time vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride are administered, stopping the prisoner’s breathing and heart, respectively….

Use in executions

The usage of midazolam in executions became controversial after condemned inmate Clayton Lockett apparently regained consciousness and started speaking midway through his 2014 execution when the state of Oklahoma attempted to execute him with an untested three-drug lethal injection combination using 100 mg of midazolam. Prison officials reportedly discussed taking him to a hospital before he was pronounced dead of a heart attack 40 minutes after the execution began.” (Midazolam, Wikipedia)
