New York Times Lies to Try to Salvage London's Damaged Goods: "EZ Kill" Emanuel

August 26, 2009(LPAC)—"Political provocateur Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.," today's New York Times fumes, has unjustly besmirched the reputation of President Obama's top health care advisor Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, by making accusations that he is an avid advocate of euthanasia, thereby turning him into damaged goods. Author Jim Rutenberg also attacks former New York lieutenant governor Betsy McCaughey, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin—in addition to LaRouche—for purportedly "quoting his [Emanuel's] past writings out of context."

Emanuel has "written more than a million words on health care," the New York Times sputters, in which he makes "subtle philosophical arguments" which have been "condensed, oversimplified and distorted" by his critics. He has been "exploring uncomfortable life-and-death issues" which others shy away from—such as his proposal to cut care to those suffering from dementia.

The New York Times article is a complete crock.

Anyone other than a liar or a fool, and who has read anything at all of Emanuel's, knows that the policy he is advocating is strict, Nazi T-4 euthanasia, as masterminded by the British. The Times's defense of "EZ Kill," and the policy of euthanasia underlying the entire Obama health plan, has been forced by Lyndon LaRouche and LPAC's relentless exposure of these Nazi policies, along with Obama's overall commitment to murderous austerity designed to save the London-centered international financial system.

A nearly identical defense of Emanuel on the lying grounds that he had been "misquoted," appeared in the Aug. 12 issue of Time magazine—except that Time didn't dare mention LaRouche by name on that occasion, and chose instead to focus entirely on McCaughey, Bachmann and Palin. But now, two weeks later, the "LaRouche" genie is out of the bottle and there is no getting it back in, so the New York Times felt compelled to engage in its public freakout against LaRouche, and in support of Nazi policies.
