Buckingham Palace and the Colombian Presidency announced last week that President Juan Manuel Santos has been invited by the Queen for a state visit on Nov. 1-3, the first such by any Colombian president. The subject of the visit? Salvaging the “peace” accord with the narco-terrorist FARC drug cartel which Colombian voters rejected at the polls on Oct. 2.

The British Monarchy, as the leading patron of the global drug trade for centuries, is stepping forward in its own name to save a “peace accord” designed and negotiated under the supervision of Barack Obama and Tony Blair, which was to be a giant step towards re-establishing “legal” narcotics trade globally, as in the heyday of Britain’s Opium Wars. In the process, Colombia’s government, judicial system, military, and economy were to be co-governed by the FARC—to which Colombians said no.

Santos and his wife will stay at Buckingham Palace as a guest of Queen Elizabeth and her Royal Virus, Prince Philip. Among other ceremonies and planning sessions included in this trip is a meeting with ambassadors of seven European nations which backed the failed “peace” agreement; an address to parliamentarians and guests in the Robing Room; tea with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall; a State Dinner at Buckingham Palace, with speeches by Her Majesty and the President; a visit to the London School of Economics (his alma mater); breakfast at Buckingham Palace with British business leaders; lunch with Prime Minister Theresa May at No. 10 Downing Street; “a banquet at Guildhall given by the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mountevans, and the City of London Corporation.”

Santos then will visit Northern Ireland, to exchange views on “post-conflict processes.”

The Washington Post published an article Monday promoting the expansion of “Death with Dignity” laws across the United States, on the grounds that legalizing euthanasia —”physician-assisted suicide”— laws allows people “to control how one’s life ends.”

Euthanasia is legal in five U.S. states, so far, with similar laws to be voted on in Colorado in the elections and by the Washington, D.C. City Council in November. But those laws were largely passed on the argument of ending pain for terminally-ill patients. Research has shown that other motivations are more important than ending pain, the Post asserts. The research cited is that of “Dr.” Ezekiel Emanuel, the chief architect of Obamacare.

Emanuel has pushed euthanasia for decades, on the same financial cost-cutting grounds that underlie Obamacare. He is obsessed with euthanasia. In 1998, he co-authored a paper titled “What Are the Potential Cost Savings from Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide?”

This year, Emanuel was the lead author of a study on “Attitudes and Practices of Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide in the United States, Canada and Europe,” published on July 5, 2016 in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. According to JAMA’s summary of the study, Emanuel’s team “comprehensively reviewed all the available data on attitudes and practices” of euthanasia and physically-assisted suicide, and came up with the conclusion promoted today by the Post: that “the main motivations” for getting a doctor to kill you or help you kill yourself “appear to be psychological, fear of losing autonomy and no longer enjoying life’s activities and other forms of mental distress.”

A second (lying) conclusion of the “study” cited, was that “alleged slippery-slope cases, such as ending the life of patients who are minors or have dementia, appear to be a very small minority of cases”—a bald attempt to cover the Nazi implications of this policy.

This is the outlook of the architect of Obamacare, who openly celebrated in the Chicago Tribune on Oct. 12, 2008, that the financial breakdown finally made possible the program to savagely cut public expenditures on health care implemented through Obamacare.

“The world economy is teetering … With trillions of dollars evaporating in this crisis, millions of middle-class Americans face the prospect of losing their homes and jobs, and witnessing a dramatic contraction of their retirement savings. In response, the public will desperately want financial security…. bailing out bankers and other gamblers [and the] huge increase in the federal debt that these bailouts will entail intensifies the pressure to rein in health-care costs…. The dean of health-care economists, Victor Fuchs of Stanford, has long maintained that we will get health-care reform only when there is a war, a depression or some other major civil unrest. It’s beginning to look like we might just have all three,” he wrote.
