Passing Observations 246
June 4, 2024 by Doctor Vernon Coleman
1. The liberal establishment does not like any view favoured by the majority. These views are always described as `populist’. This condescending, patronising elitism helps explain why there is a huge unbridgeable gulf between the people with the power and the rest of us.
2. The mainstream media is dying because those working in it obey orders not to upset the establishment. Newspaper circulations have fallen so much that it is difficult to see why anyone bothers to keep them alive. (I seem to remember that The People newspaper had a circulation of three million when I wrote a column there. Today, the circulation is just above 50,000.) The BBC makes programmes for Guardian readers (of whom there are few). And much of the internet, and all social media, is dominated by the 77th Brigade and other propagandists, largely ruled by the same censorship which controls mainstream media.
3. Alzheimer’s disease is frequently described as the biggest killer of old people. This is a lie. Alzheimer’s disease does not usually kill people. The medical establishment will never admit this but most of those described as having died of Alzheimer’s died of untreated pneumonia or were murdered with a `kill shot’of morphine and midazolam. It’s also important to understand that many of those diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s have something else wrong with them. Alzheimer’s is a default diagnosis which is profitable for GPs and drug companies. For more about Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia please read my book `The Dementia Myth’ which can be purchased via the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com
4. What’s the betting Rishi Sunak (and Mrs Sunak and the money) will be living in the USA before Christmas? And most of Britain’s billionaires and non doms will have gone too. The communists who run the country will cheer. But where do they think the money is coming from to fill their wallets?
5. People who promote red squirrels and want to kill grey squirrels are racists.
6. Why are we expected to pay to repair the damage done to Gaza by Israel? Surely, Israel should pay for all the essential repairs. After all Israel did all the damage.
7. `We all know there are two sides to every question. There are two sides to a piece of flypaper, too, but it makes a great difference to the fly which side he lands on.’ - Peter Seeger
8. The world is full of teenagers who have collected a lifetime’s worth of injustices before they reach adulthood. The truly sad thing is that most of the injustices are real because they, like the rest of us, have been betrayed by our so-called leaders. And the ironic tragedy is that in seeking answers they have allied themselves with the communist conspirators who created their injustices.
9. Doctors are the world’s most dangerous drug pushers. And pharmaceutical companies are a bigger threat than illegal drug pushers.
10. The whole apparatus for spreading knowledge, the schools and the press, wireless and cinema, will be used exclusively to spread those views which, whether true or false, will strengthen the belief in the rightness of the decisions taken by the authority; and all information that might cause doubt or hesitation will be withheld.' - F. A. Hayek
11. Israel, rogue nation and specialist in genocide, has now killed well over 30,000 civilians in Gaza, most of them apparently by mistake. The Israelis are either useless at waging war or else they are lying bastards. (As usual, anyone who calls me anti-semitic will be sued. I’ve had enough mindless abuse to last a thousand lifetimes.)
12. `Strive to preserve your health; and in this you will the better succeed in proportion as you keep clear of the physicians.’ - Leonardo da Vinci
13. `Those who eat meat should be aware that cattle (and other animals reared for slaughter) are regularly vaccinated. The meat that is taken from those animals may, therefore, contain vaccine residues in addition to hormones, antibiotics and other drugs. Today, even some farmed fish are individually vaccinated against infections.’ (Taken from `Anyone who tells you vaccines are safe and effective is lying. Here’s the proof’ by Vernon Coleman.)
14. Lefties Blair and Brown destroyed Britain in many ways by introducing constitutional and cultural changes which will probably never be reversed since much, if not all, of the establishment is controlled by communists. To make things worse most local councils in Britain are controlled by communists who are determined to destroy everything the British hold dear.
15. Climate change nutters don’t realise that many electric cars, solar panels and other items of disposable junk are made in China. The Chinese use coal fired plants to produce electricity, and the products they make have to be transported thousands of miles in diesel powered ships. The nutters have merely outsourced their use of fossil fuels.
16. It is generally agreed by people who can read that wind turbines are useless because when there is no wind the blades have to be turned round with electricity (which has been produced by burning fossil fuels) in order to stop them `sticking’. The solution offered by climate change nutters is to build more wind farms. How stupid can you get?
17. Donald Trump says that America is now a fascist country. I’m glad he noticed. (And, by the way, fascism is indistinguishable from communism. They’re just different ways of describing the same thing.) I first became aware that Britain had become a fascist country just under two decades ago. My book `Living in a Fascist Country’ was published in 2006. It has been republished and is available from the bookshop on www.vernoncoleman.com
18. I’ve seen people complaining that tetanus vaccinations are given together with other vaccines. These complainants should keep up. There hasn’t been a solo tetanus vaccine available since King Arthur had a mishap while making cakes.
19. It is of enormous comfort to know that all the stupid people who believe in the climate change myth cheerfully queued up to be injected with a useless but toxic and potentially lethal vaccine and so most of them won’t be annoying us for much longer.
20. Many of the people who describe themselves as `doctors’ (and keep YouTube filled with dubious advice) are actually osteopaths or chiropractors. Most practise in America where anyone who has a scout badge is allowed to call themselves `Doctor’. Mind you, the confusion isn’t confined to the United States. In the UK even dentists and vets have taken to calling themselves `doctor’. The simplest solution would be for everyone to call themselves doctor and for all medical doctors to call themselves `Mister’, `Missus’ or `Miss’. What a strange and confusing world we live in.
Do not resuscitate
Jack King
Many decades ago, doctors agreed that it was wrong to resuscitate patients who were in severe pain and who were terminally ill (or ‘terminally, terminally ill’ as is preferred these days). Before the introduction of the ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ (DNR) protocol it was common for severely ill patients to be dragged back to life time and time again. Whenever such a patient stopped breathing (and effectively died) a ‘crash team’ would be mobilised. Doctors would run to the ward with masses of equipment and the patient would be injected, intubated and (literally) shocked back to life. As a young hospital doctor I was accustomed to seeing patients repeatedly dragged back to life from the brink of death. No one really thought of just letting someone die. If and when a patient died we considered that we had failed – however old and ill they were.
That was then.
Today, the DNR protocol has been expanded and my mailbox has, for years been full of stories of patients complaining of being asked to sign ‘Do Not Resuscitate Forms or having Do Not Resuscitate forms signed on their behalf. (These are known as DNR forms or DNAR forms – for Do Not Attempt Resuscitation.)
DNR notices are only inches away from euthanasia and could, perhaps, be best described as ‘passive euthanasia’. The doctor doesn’t actually do anything to kill the patient. But he doesn’t do what he could do to stop them dying.
In recent years, GPs all over the world have been contacting their elderly patients, and those with chronic health disorders, and asking them two questions. Even perfectly healthy patients have been approached if they have reached a certain age. (The age at which doctors consider a patient not worth saving varies but is usually around 70.)
‘Are you happy for us to put a DNR on your file?’
And
'Are you happy for us to put on your file a note that you won’t be admitted to hospital if you become unwell?’
Note the clever wording, designed to elicit a positive response. It’s the sort of trickery used by crooked pollsters and insurance salesmen – knowing what answer they want and shading the question in such a way as to ensure that they get it.
One medical practice sent out a letter to a home catering for autistic adults saying that the carers should have plans to prevent their patients being resuscitated if they became critically ill.
Other GPs sent out similar letters to establishments caring for the elderly and the disabled. Blanket decisions were made for care homes and residential homes caring for patients with learning difficulties.
A 51-year-old man with Down’s Syndrome was given a DNR because of his disability, and instructions were left that there was to be no attempt to resuscitate him if he had a cardiac arrest or a respiratory arrest. No consent form was signed and there was no agreement with the patient or his relatives. The Medical Director for the relevant part of Britain’s National Health Service said that their policy complied fully with national guidelines from professional bodies.
The boss of a large charity said that they believe that DNR orders were frequently being placed on patients with learning disabilities – without the knowledge and agreement of their families.
This was, of course, illegal.
Back in 2015, the High Court in the UK ruled that carers for patients with mental illnesses should be consulted before DNR notices were applied.
But the coronavirus nonsense resulted in a flood of such cases.
A man in his 50s, with sight loss, was issued with a DNR notice giving ‘blindness and severe learning disabilities’ as the reason.
A man with epilepsy was issued with a DNR notice, and at the end of March this year a GPs’ surgery in Wales urged high risk patients to complete a DNR form if they contracted the coronavirus. The letter said, ‘you are unlikely to receive hospital admission’.
A woman in Bristol received a phone call from her GP asking if it were OK for her medical records to be updated to say that if she contracted the coronavirus she wouldn’t go to hospital or receive any medical treatment.
In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, known as NICE, is the official advisory body to the health care world. And a NICE ruling is utterly crucial.
NICE classified people in nine categories. If you are in category 1 then you are very fit. If you are in category 9 then you are terminally ill (though, when it suits them NHS staff sometimes devise another category of ‘terminally, terminally ill’).
What a pity that you got so much right about the coming elections in England (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland left the union years ago) and yet so wrong about Israel/Hamas war.
I'd direct you to talk to the many Israeli Arabs who are, at this very moment, intent on wiping out the scurge of Hamas.
Even as a gentile I have some skin in the game having volunteered to go to Israel two days into the Yom Kippur War of 73 and realising how close the Syrian tanks came to rolling through the Golan Heights.
