Three people arrested after investigation into man’s suicide uncovers alleged euthanasia ring

Three people have been arrested after police busted an alleged euthanasia drug trafficking ring while investigating a man’s suicide. 

Queensland Police began investigating after the Coroner revealed the cause of death for a 43-year-old man on Hope Island, on the Gold Coast, on April 11.

Toxicology results found he had died from pentobarbitone, also known as pentobarbital – a Schedule 2 drug used by vets to euthanise animals.

Detectives spent the following months investigating the man’s health, care and treatment in the time before his death, before three people were arrested on Monday.

A 53-year-old man, accused of supplying the pentobarbitone, was charged with two counts of aiding suicide and one count each of trafficking in dangerous drugs, possessing dangerous drugs and receiving or possessing property obtained from trafficking or supplying.

He is due to reappear at Southport Magistrates Court on 18 September.

An 81-year-old woman was charged with one count each of aiding suicide, trafficking dangerous drugs, possession of dangerous drugs and sale of potential harmful things.

Terrifying new details of Canada’s advancing assisted suicide laws… including push to euthanize newborn BABIES

Canada‘s assisted suicide laws have continued rapidly expanding in recent years, with a group of doctors now pushing for disabled newborn babies to be euthanized.

The demand for euthanasia is so high that doctors who provide it cannot keep up, according to a new report by The Atlantic.

Assisted dying, legalized in 2016, now accounts for about one out of 20 deaths in Canada, far surpassing countries where it’s been legal for longer. 

As assisted deaths have become a major part of Canada’s health care system, the Quebec College of Physicians suggested legalizing euthanasia for infants born severely ill.

As The Atlantic noted, the practice is legal in the Netherlands – the first country to adopt it since Nazi Germany did it in 1939. 

In 2022, Louis Roy from the Quebec College of Physicians raised the notion of euthanasia for babies up to a year old ‘who are born with severe deformations, very grave and severe medical syndromes, whose life expectancy and level of suffering are such that it would make sense to ensure that they do not suffer.’

While parents already have the option of stopping treatment for babies suffering from medical conditions, the proposal would accelerate the infant’s death, sparking questions about consent.

Family horror: Relatives get told on social media their mother is dead, by ‘assisted suicide’

A family in Ireland is working through the shock notification, on social media, that their mother is dead – by “assisted suicide,” in a situation about which they knew nothing.

According to the Christian Institute, Maureen Slough, 58, from County Cavan, left, telling family members she was going on holiday to Lithuania.

Instead, she went to the death-dealing Pegasos clinic in Switzerland.

Her family was notified shortly later, via social media platform WhatsApp, that she was dead.

The institute reported, “She had struggled with mental health and previously tried to commit suicide after the death of her two sisters.”

Pegasos officials claimed her daughter, Megan Royal, had confirmed her mother’s intentions, Megan said the “acknowledgment letter” probably was forged.

Writing in the Sunday Independent, columnist David Quinn stated: “It is a sad part of the human condition that nearly all of us will face very significant struggles at various points in our lives. Maureen Slough clearly did, but she had a loving daughter willing to help her,” the institute explained.

Midazolam murder: “If you want to kill somebody, get a doctor or a nurse to do it”

Derek Dimmock, an 86-year-old man from Putney, UK, was admitted to the Royal Trinity Hospice in June 2020 with gout and later died under controversial circumstances.  His family is alleging he was involuntarily euthanised using midazolam, a sedative often used in end-of-life care.

His family claims he was given a cocktail of end-of-life drugs, including midazolam, which they argue was inappropriate and hastened his death.  Derek was given enough midazolam to “kill an elephant,” a source close to the family said.

The case is currently under investigation, with an inquest examining whether his death was a natural occurrence or an unlawful killing.  The case was heard by a Senior Coroner in March; the inquest resumes in August 2025.

During an interview, the barrister for the Dimmock family explained how midazolam is used by the NHS to end someone’s life and said, “If you want to kill somebody, get a doctor or a nurse to do it, because it’s very, very difficult to pin the blame on them.”

Barrister James Bogle, who specialises in clinical negligence, is representing the Dimmock family in a legal capacity.  Bogle is familiar with the state’s abuse and misuse of drugs to end people’s lives.  In 2023 he provided the legal analysis for the report titled ‘When end of life care goes wrong’, which examined the excessive and inappropriate use of midazolam and morphine in the UK.  The report is available from Voice for Justice UK, see HERE.

At the end of June, Bogle joined Peter McCormack’s podcast, during which he said “the favoured way of shortening a life” is the use of a combination of midazolam and morphine.  In the following, Maajid Nawaz explains more.

Netherlands: 517 people died by euthanasia without request in 2021

The Netherlands has had a problem with euthanasia without request (LAWER) and the under-reporting of euthanasia since the inception of its euthanasia law.

Every five years, the Netherlands government has commissioned a study to determine the number of deaths by medical and end-of-life decisions. The study is done by researchers who send questionnaires to physicians to determine how a random person died within a given year.

The questions seek to determine the number of deaths from all causes, including euthanasia, assisted suicide, and ending of life without explicit request. The questionnaires allow the physician to respond anonymously, and the data effectively uncovers the actual number of assisted deaths within a given year.

The Netherlands 2021 study (one year later than usual) found that there were 9,799 assisted deaths representing 9,038 euthanasia deaths, 245 assisted suicide deaths, and 517 ending of life without explicit request (LAWER).

LAWER involves the intentional ending of a person without an explicit request. I oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide but I recognize that killing someone without request or consent remains a criminal homicide in nearly every jurisdictions, even when it is tolerated.

The 2021 study indicated that there were 517 LAWER deaths in the Netherlands representing approximately 0.3 percent of all deaths.

It is important to note that six of the deaths were newborns, also known as infanticide, who would have been killed based on the Groningen protocol. Newborns with disabilities can be injected with lethal drugs in the Netherlands when a parent and doctor agree that the prospects for the child are poor or the child is considered “incompatible with life.”

As stated, the Netherlands government commissions a study every five years. The 2015 study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in an article titled: End-of-Life Decisions in the Netherlands over 25 years. The researchers published the 2015 study as a comparison to the previous studies.

The data from the 2015 study indicated that there were 7,254 assisted deaths representing 6,672 euthanasia deaths, 150 assisted suicide deaths, 431 ending of life without explicit request.

MAID for mental illness? Conservatives urge support for bill to ban euthanasia for psychiatric reasons

Conservative MP Tamara Jansen, who represents Cloverdale–Langley City, continues to sound the alarm on what many consider to be a dangerous and immoral shift in Canadian law: The euthanization of people suffering from mental illness through the country’s Medical Assistance in Dying program (MAID).

Under the Liberal government, offering and carrying out assisted suicide for those deemed to have a “grievous and irremediable” mental health condition is expected to be practiced in the Spring of 2027, but not if Jansen’s new Right to Recover bill stops it.

“MAID for mental illness doesn’t protect the vulnerable, it targets them,” said Jansen during a press conference she held outside of Acadamy Farms held June 9th to raise awareness about the bill. “That’s why I was compelled to table the Bill C-218.”

If passed, the criminal code would be amended to make it unlawful to offer or provide MAID to any individual solely for mental illness.

“Imagine someone suffering from trauma, PTSD, depression, or just feeling completely hopeless? They could walk into a hospital, ask for help and instead be offered MAID,” Jansen posed from the podium.

Alongside Jansen was Elgin—St. Thomas—London South, Ontario, MP Andrew Lawton, who seconded the bill. Lawton shared his personal experience of surviving a suicide attempt years before becoming a husband and elected MP.

“One of the grievous issues with the laws that are set to go into effect in 2027 is the lack of differentiation between someone with suicidal ideation who needs to be stopped and supported, versus someone who walks into a medical office and seeks MAID as a service because of their mental illness,” stated Lawton.

Britain has fallen to the technocratic death cult

Politicians twist words and abuse language to ‘make lies sound truthful and murder respectable’, said George Orwell. That has never rang more true than it does today. In the House of Commons this afternoon, MPs spoke in deceitful tongues to make suicide sound attractive and death sound liberal. They voted to legalise what they call ‘assisted dying’, but which I think we should call state-sanctioned suicide. For strip away all the linguistic trickery about a ‘right to die’ and what we are left with is a new regime of state-appointed death merchants who will have the power not only to propose self-destruction to the ill, but to facilitate it, too.

Make no mistake, this is a dark day for Britain. MPs voted by 314 to 291 to pass the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. This is the private members’ bill, spearheaded by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, that will empower the state to aid and abet the destruction of lives judged to be less good or less happy than others. It applies to England and Wales. It will permit sick people who are expected to die within six months to get ‘medical assistance’ to end their lives. To be eligible for this state-sanctioned suicide, you must be over 18, have mental capacity and get the agreement of two doctors, seven days apart. Then the state will give you poison to bring about your death.

Ms Leadbeater and her supporters big up the bill’s ‘safeguards’. They insist the law will not be a slippery slope to a culture of death, to self-obliteration as a consumer choice for the merely sad or dejected. It’s about ‘assisting’ the terminally ill only, they say. Yet even on this front, its flaws are glaring. Doctors are often wrong when they estimate how long the sick have left. You might be given six months but get two years. What’s more, people often feel suicidal upon receiving a terminal diagnosis, but then reflect and change and come to cherish the time they have left. This law, unquestionably, would lead to the state-faciliated deaths of people who had so much more living to do.

All the technical blather about ‘safeguards’ distracts us from the profound moral questions thrown up by the bill. Let’s be clear: this law would represent one of the most dramatic and destructive overhauls of the relationship between the state and the individual that we have ever seen. Overnight we would transform from a society that seeks to prevent suicide into one that facilitates it. The health service, once proudly devoted to saving life, would now be charged with ending life in certain circumstances. The Hippocratic cry of ‘First do no harm’ would lie in tatters, replaced by a new deathly creed: ‘Do no harm, unless they’re very sick, in which case maybe kill them?’

Covid protocols included euthanasia of covid patients to free up beds in American hospitals

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden is a board-certified Otolaryngologist, Sleep Medicine specialist and founder of BreatheMD. She is also a senior fellow with the Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC), the founder of Americans for Health Freedom and serves on the board of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation.  She is the author of the book ‘Dangerous Misinformation: The Virus, the Treatments, and the Lies’.

Yesterday, she joined Joe Rogan in a long-form interview to discuss the fraud, corruption, ego and money that was the “covid pandemic.”  You can read an AI-generated summary of Dr. Bowden’s experiences during the covid era in B2B Sales Explained’s tweet below, which is only partially shown; you can read it in full by clicking the option to “Show more.”

Some way into the interview, Dr. Bowden mentioned a trial concerning the wrongful death of Grace Schara, a 19-year-old with Down syndrome.

It is the first wrongful death jury trial in the USA for a death listed as covid on the death certificate. The unique claims in this case include medical battery and a declaratory judgment ruling regarding the Do Not Resuscitate (“DNR”) order and the order for three contraindicated medications – Precedex (dexmedetomidine), lorazepam (a benzodiazepine) and morphine.

Dr. Bowden explained that Grace Schara was euthanised.  “They gave her a DNR order even though she didn’t have one [authorised on record],” Dr. Bowden said.

Rogan asked why they euthanised her.  “I’ve seen this. I have reviewed records from these hospital patients [who were in hospital for covid], and they’ll euthanise them. They need the bed, they said, ‘Well, they’re going to die anyway’,”  Dr. Bowden replied.   “[This was the] covid protocol.”

Rogan interjected, “Wait, wait, wait. So, they were in the hospital with covid and they gave them something to kill them?”

“Yeah,” replied Dr. Bowden. “That happened all [the time] … They gave them morphine and insulin.”

“That’s common?” Rogan asked incredulously.  “Yeah,” she said.

Returning to Schara’s case, Dr. Bowden said, “They gave her a DNR – which is do not resuscitate, meaning if they look like they’re dying, you don’t do anything – which [for Schara] that was not the case.”

“So, they’re suing for battery, which is one way of getting around the PREP act because the PREP act is very hard to penetrate.  The PREP act protects everybody, all the doctors, all the hospitals, from any wrongdoing during covid.  So it’s been this big challenge trying to get around the PREP act.  And this case has a hope of getting around the PREP act because they’re charging for battery,” she added.

NY state Senate approves doctor-assisted suicide bill, sends it to Hochul’s desk for approval

State Senate Democrats passed highly controversial legislation that would allow terminally ill people to take their own lives with the help of doctors in a razor-thin vote Monday — leaving it up to Gov. Kathy Hochul whether to sign it into law.

“This is one of the great social reforms of our state,” state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D-Manhattan), the bill’s sponsor in the upper chamber, touted at a press conference earlier in the day Monday — putting the measure on the same tier as the legalization of gay marriage.

“This is about personal autonomy, this is about liberty, this is about exercising one’s own freedom to control one’s body,” Hoylman-Sigal continued.

The measure passed 35 to 27, with six Democrats – Senators April Baskin, Siela Bynoe, Cordelle Cleare, Monica Martinez, Roxanne Persaud, and Sam Sutton – voting against it. 

“The governor will review the legislation,” a spokesperson for Hochul said.

Disgusting: Canada Promotes Euthanasia WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT For Children & Teens Suffering From Mental Health Issues

Host of “Over Opinionated” Jasmin Laine posted flyers she came across in Manitoba, Canada, that support allowing euthanasia for kids and teenagers deemed “mature minors” by the eugenicist Canadian government.

“You have to be a special kind of demonic to advocate for MAID for young vulnerable people and people who are suicidal,” she wrote on 𝕏. “Imagine walking into a clinic for help, and being told the world would be better off without you… that you should cave to the lies the devil on your shoulder is telling you and it would be more affordable for Canada’s healthcare system if you were gone.”

Laine is the perfect person to bring attention to the disturbing concept as she has participated in “recovery plans and treatment after trying to end it” after her partner of ten years committed suicide.

“There is nothing compassionate about this—it is pure evil,” she concluded her post.

The flyers explain that members of the Canadian government have recommended citizens deemed “mature minors” be allowed to qualify for MAID, or medically-assisted suicide.

“A mature minor is a child or teen who is deemed capable of making a decision for MAID. This would essentially remove the minimum age of eligibility,” the paper states. “The [government] committee also suggested parents may not be consulted and wouldn’t need to consent to their child’s death via MAID.”

In an example of dystopian hypocrisy, the informational pamphlet also says, “Children are uniquely vulnerable. Canada’s first priority must be to provide high quality medical care for children.”

So, to allegedly protect the most vulnerable citizens, Canada wants to allow them to be killed without parental consent.

Beginning in March 2027, the physician-assisted suicide program will be available to Canadians suffering from mental illnesses.

Continuing to bizarrely invert reality, the pamphlet states, “Hopelessness and a desire to end one’s life can be a symptom of some mental illnesses,” before promoting suicide as faster alternative than waiting for medical treatments.

Essentially, the Canadian health care system is so screwed that the government is telling citizens they can sign up for medical suicide quicker than they can get the help they need.
