Quote:When strange boxes arrive from networks or studios, I know something strange is afoot. This morning, a delivery arrived from A&E TV. The box we received alerted us that there were perishable items inside. What it creatively contained was a bag for organ delivery... Watch an exclusive clip below of Burstyn’s character explaining why being “suspended by painlessly-inserted rods” is more comfortable than a standard hospital setting. http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/08/14/coma-miniseries-ellen-burstyn-lauren-ambrose/ "This is human sacrifice!"

Quote: "Ethicists and emergency medicine experts are raising concerns over New York City's plan to dispatch the first ambulance service in the country equipped to preserve the organs of the newly deceased. They question whether the organ-preserving ambulances will create tension among EMTs who may be charged both to save lives and to preserve organs for reuse. The aim of the Rapid Organ Recovery Ambulance service, city officials say, is to buy precious time for families to decide whether they want their loved ones' organs to be donated to needy patients. New York City plans to start the service rolling within a month. And the plan, which has already received federal funding, is being eyed as a possibility by other emergency medical departments. The services provided by such ambulances -- namely, efforts to save the organs of the newly dead without direct consent -- have some concerns among some experts. "Will raising organ donation follow pronouncement of death, or will people come to know that the organ donation ambulance has been sent, making them wonder if their relative got a full press of rescue care?" said Arthur Caplan, director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. "This is called violating the dead donor rule -- no organ donation [discussion] raised prior to pronouncement of death." Far more troubling is the idea that emergency medical personnel staffing the ambulances could be faced with a dilemma of either doing everything possible to save a patient, or acting with the chief interest of saving organs. "If it is an ambulance for the living or the dead, you run into an ethical dilemma," O'Brien said. "Unless there is a plethora of EMS vehicles available where this ambulance serves, which is not the case in many areas, they still should concentrate on treating and transporting patients who have a chance at survival first." Mehlman adds that some may worry whether the responders on such an ambulance would be under any pressure to stop trying to revive a patient in order to begin saving his or her organs. "One reason some people are unwilling to sign living wills is that they are afraid that will make physicians give up on them sooner than they should in order to get their organs," he said. "Such fears are understandable and real." And high-profile incidents -- such as a recent case in California in which a transplant surgeon was accused of hastening the removal of organs from a donor who did not yet meet appropriate criteria for brain death -- add to such fears." -ABC News, Ethicists Debate Ambulance for Organs, May 9, 2008 http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Story?id=4822866&page=1 "The British National Health Service (NHS) — the epitome of socialized medicine — may be prematurely ending the lives of as many as 130,000 elderly patients annually, a top physician told the Royal Society of Medicine in London. Patrick Pullicino, a consultant neurologist for East Kent Hospitals and professor of clinical neurosciences at the University of Kent, said a controversial end-of-life care method called the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) now used in British hospitals has become an “assisted death pathway rather than a care pathway,” according to a report in the Daily Mail. “If we accept the Liverpool Care Pathway we accept that euthanasia is part of the standard way of dying as it is now associated with 29 per cent of NHS deaths,” Pullicino declared, referring to statistics showing that of the 450,000 annual deaths of patients under NHS care, about 130,000 are of patients who were on the LCP. It rapidly became fashionable: recognized as a model for the NHS in 2001; approved by NICE [the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, which rations care on a cost-benefit basis] as a recommended practice in 2004; and a 2006 health white paper said it should be adopted across the country. Its use spread from cancer sufferers to all patients. Doctors are supposed to identify a patient who is bound to die in the near future. The plan then can include withdrawal of treatment, including the provision of water and nourishment by tube. Patients are typically heavily sedated. The LCP’s quick adoption by the NHS and NICE represented “euthanasia by the back door,” in the words of the Telegraph’s Gerald Warner. “In 2007–08,” he wrote, “16.5 percent of deaths in Britain resulted from continuous deep sedation — twice the rate of the Netherlands with its notorious culture of death and legalized euthanasia.” Pullicino, according to the Mail, recalled taking a 71-year-old patient off the LCP, after which the man lived another 14 months, mostly at home, “at considerable cost to the NHS and the taxpayer.” (He died after being admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and put back on the LCP.) Other doctors have recounted similar experiences. Dr. Peter Hargreaves, a consultant in palliative medicine at St. Luke’s Cancer Center in Guildford, told the Telegraph in 2009 that “he had personally taken patients off the pathway who went on to live for ‘significant’ amounts of time.” Hargreaves worried that the LCP could “become a self-fulfilling prophecy” because doctors would make the determination as to which patients were likely to die and then, by withdrawing lifesaving treatment and heavily sedating them, guarantee that they would die." -The New American, "Doctor: British Health Service Euthanizes 130,000 Patients a Year," 20 June 2012 http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/11796-doctor-british-health-service-euthanizes-130000-patients-a-year "'People are too trusting, people don't ask the right questions.' Sometimes, being too trusting was equated with being too dumb. But sometimes when he would say that and say, 'People don't ask the right questions,' it was almost with a sense of regret, as if he were uneasy with what he was part of, and wished that people would challenge it and maybe not be so trusting." -Dr. Lawrence Dunegan MD, quoting Dr. Richard Day MD who was director of a corporation paid $1-billion by the U.S. Govt to successfully genocide 100-million U.S. citizens http://100777.com/nwo/barbarians "The nation’s largest abortion provider topped $1 billion in total net assets in 2009-2010, its first time reaching that mark, according to Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report. Almost half of the group’s annual revenue — 46 percent — comes from taxpayers in the form of grants, contracts and Medicaid payments, according to an analysis by the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List." -The Hill, Planned Parenthood tops $1 billion in assets, 12/30/11 http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/abortion/201833-planned-parenthood-tops-1-billion-in-assets "In a lengthy interview with Bill Moyers released today, Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates reveals the inspiration for his funding of pro-abortion population control measures. Responding to a question by Moyers on how he came to fund “reproductive issues” Gates answered, “When I was growing up, my parents were always involved in various volunteer things. My dad was head of Planned Parenthood." http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2003/may/03050902 Bill Gates' father's jewish law firm ran Planned Parenthood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Gates,_Sr http://100777.com/nwo/barbarians "The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic* deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history. Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day." —Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; Dorothy Smith, PhD, "Death by Medicine", March 2004 (plus 10-Million annual aborticides in USA) http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/mar2004_awsi_death_01.htm "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature." -Georgia Guidestones

Quote: Tony Scott and Tom Cruise in Top Gun #1 And finally, THR says that Scott's last days were spent working on "Top Gun 2" with Tom Cruise. The two met about the movie as late as Friday. Apparently the film was moving closer to production, since Cruise was spotted doing research at a naval air station in Nevada. http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=25838&count=0#ixzz24FQ6JKVt Reunited: The Top Gun team of producer Jerry Bruckheimer (left), Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis (!!!!) and Tony Scott at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood in 2010 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/9489642/Tony-Scott-spent-final-days-researching-Top-Gun-2-with-Tom-Cruise.html
