The doctors who performs cochlear implants on Deaf babies knows the risk with no safety at all, the doctors also knows that there are plenty of precautions that must be taken in proportion to the actual risk of harm. The doctors teach Deaf children their precautions that they did not realize that they are teaching the, and they keep up where they are and who they are associated with—-hearing people and that means it will help them make dirty money with zillions of instructions against much greater risk from family members in their lives.
Cochlear implant companies are a parallel to the German Registry prior to World War Two. In 1935, Germany enacted the Reich Citizenship Law also known as Nuremberg, which separated Germans into two groups. The first group’s citizens were called Reich citizens who were allowed to keep all of their constitutional rights and freedoms. The second groups were called German Nationals (Jews, homosexuals, brown skinned people, disabled people and Deaf people, etc.) and who were then assigned degraded and limited constitutional rights and freedoms. We all know what happened to those assigned to the degraded rights citizens of group number two. Not only but also the cochlear implant companies are creating hidden monitoring programs that supports dehumanization and segregation.
The persecution of people in history usually starts out by the division of society into regular and degraded citizenship groups. The next step is to shun them and exile them to the edges of society. After a while it is decided that this degraded people must be held in camps away from everybody else to protect both sides from each other. The final step is to liquidate the degraded citizens because they are too expensive or bothersome to maintain.
It goes the same to the Deaf people that include children that are getting threats from the society. Deaf people do not earn their outright citizenry. Their legal status is Deaf. Nothing more. Deaf people had been fighting to survive the elements in their life everyday. For example, their rights to use American Sign Language and their state of being Deaf to support their survival modes. Cochlear implant companies are abusive very much in their own elements, which are cruel, and an abuse of state power against Deaf people’s wishes. A month ago, there was a massive lawsuit against cochlear implant makers called Cochlear Ltd. Based in Australia for 131.2 million dollars, which is in my opinion, is not enough. It should be more than 100 billion dollars or even shut the company down! They are a billion-dollar company………..lots of Ben Franklin’s dollars!
The reason the lawsuit was because the company got their ass kicked dealing with an infringement trail over patents relayed to the devices in state of California, the same state that holds the rank of the world’s eighth’s largest economy by the net worth in gross domestic product (GDP): Whopping $2.0 trillion dollars. The point is that $131.2 million is VERY small amount. It is the exactly the same amount of the movie (131.2 mil dollars), The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug earned during their opening movie box office weekend worldwide. See the link below. Flash news: Are we the Deaf worth $131.2 million dollars for their genocide practice? Are we the Deaf seen as the Era of Desolation?
After reading Deaf People in Hitler’s Europe wrote by Donna F. Ryan and John S. Schuchman, in page 19, they wrote, “The Freiburg anthropologist Eugen Fischer had become famous through his book, The Rehoboth Bastards and the Problem of Miscegenation Among Humans, written on the basis of his research in German Southwest Africa and published in 1913. This study established his reputation and also influenced all subsequent German racial legislation, including the Nuremberg racial laws…” it goes the same to William House, the father of Cochlear Implant who used his reputation that influenced all the subsequent A-U-D-I-S-M legislation. Again in page 38, “The Nuremberg laws were considered public health measures and were administered primarily by physicians…”
Again, the cochlear implant makers are nothing but a shaming and humiliation system of punishment applied to Deaf people who have not harm the society at all. When a cochlear implant maker trains a hospital doctor to degrade the freedom and legal rights of Deaf people among us is safe, no? The cochlear implant companies are the latest examples of long-line of “hearing” witch-hunts. Please look up Germany’s 1935 Reich (Nuremberg) Citizenship Law and see what the cochlear implant companies are doing to Deaf people today. Doctors failed to follow The Hippocratic Oath.
We the Deaf needs to organize a movement to abolish cochlear implant makers because for the biggest reason, they are creating an oppressive punishment against Deaf people based on fear and disgust. Cochlear implants are unconstitutional and discriminatory. Not even for 131.2 million dollars! Pretty messed up, right? Today (Feb.16th) a year ago, I was asked to consider getting a cochlear implant during an emergency room and my chief answer: NO!!!
