State to check on residents' health
By Warren King
Seattle Times medical reporter
Washington state health officials will soon start asking detailed questions about the health of some state residents and even give them brief physical exams.
The door-to-door survey of 1,100 randomly selected households across the state will try to learn more about our health, and especially about our risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, to better target preventive educational programs.
"We want to get a snapshot of [residents'] health ... and if we can't prevent the diseases, have early detection of them," said Dr. Juliet VanEenwyk, state epidemiologist for noninfectious diseases.
The Washington Adult Health Survey is sponsored by the state Department of Health and is designed to gather a cross section of state residents. The survey will begin late this month and will take about a year, VanEenwyk said.

Participants will be given a $45 gift card for their help in the survey. Officials are not seeking volunteers; participants are being chosen to represent the diverse population of the state.
The survey is being financed by an $800,000 grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kansas and Arkansas also were awarded survey grants.

Or "Do you belong to a hate group?" And yes, they will consider TRUE Christianity (not the Christianity that comes money-grubbing televangelists who are motivated by the almighty dollar) to be a hate group.

Never underestimate the federal government these days. Just because a Republican heads it, doesn't mean anything.
AMEN. A crook is a crook is a crook, no matter what party they belong to. Bush has already broken the law by selling our sovereignty to the North American Union. When he took his oath of office, he swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, FOREIGN and DOMESTIC. Well, Bush has proven to be one of those domestic enemies, and that means that he has violated his oath, which is grounds for impeachment. Bush fucked us over in favor of the scumbag illegals. That is my opinion. If you don't like my opinion, then bugger off.

I wonder if "Codex Alimentarius" plays into this crap as well.
For those who don't know, "Codex Alimentarius" is some UN thing that some people think will regulate all drugs, and that it will also declare all vitamins and minerals to be drugs and require a prescription. So according to that logic, apples and oranges would be considered drugs and require a prescription.

We have the right to tell yellow vested folks who show up at our doors and want blood and hair samples to pound sand, but the thing to watch for is when we lose that right, and that ball is still in play...I hope. Being flagged as a kook is just fine with me.Giving out blood samples to complete strangers is not!!

The "Codex Alimentarius" (Latin meaning Food Code) group is part of the World Trade Organization, a group of countries belonging to the United Nations. Codex Alimentarius is very strong in the European Union, and is being implemented in the US under the WTO agreement.
The Codex Alimentarius is composed of European trade organizations, and the European and American pharmaceutical cartels.
The Codex Alimentarius regulates vitamins and supplements as drugs. Germany is now in full compliance with Codex Alimentarius, France will be within this year and the UK soon after. The US has just begun the process.
In Germany, it is now illegal to sell vitamin supplements in health food stores. Vitamins are now a regulated "drug" and even vitamin C is only available through prescription. When The Codex Alimentarius is implemented here, you will have to get a prescription to buy Vitamin C.

"Hell, they may as well create a real-life telescreen and
mandate THOSE as well."
Don't give 'em anymore ideas. The ultimate goal of nanny-state is to get their foot in the door of your home.
This shennanigan is the first step, of many more to come.

I wonder if you'll have to have a prescription in order to buy an orange. I wonder if the Vegan Taliban would sacrifice their oranges for the "common good".

The Codex Alimentarius Commission is still in session to set the standards of how much real juice can be in orange juice. Oranges will simply be priced high enough to discourage juice junkies.
As far as the common good goes...Delicious and nutritious Soylent Green is in our future.

Much like how the conventional free speech Internet will be priced out of Joe Average's reach (in the form of internet taxes and computer taxes), forcing Joe Average to move to the no-free-speech Internet2?

BTW, I forgot...I'll probably go to jail in the future for a hate crime for calling them the Vegan Taliban...after all, they probably won't allow a "grandfather clause" for hate speech used before the inevitable federal hate crime law which will criminalize hate speech. So I guess when the kook fringe of the Democratic Party gets control of the government, I'll probably be sentenced to life without parole for violating the "three strikes" law. I admit to using hate speech on the internet toward the following groups :
1. Vegans/Vegetarians
2. Atheists
3. Communists
4. Liberals
5. RINOs
6. UN supporters
7. Globalists
8. NWO advocates
9. Illegal immigrants
10. North American Union advocates
11. Animal Rights Activists
12. Homos
13. Trannies
14. Human RFID-Chipping Advocates
15. Self-hating Jews (I've often said "Good Jews are Jews, but evil Jews are k***s")
Yeah...I'm sure I'm screwed...which is why we should vote for freedom, because if one person in the United States can be imprisoned for hate speech, everybody can.

Joe Average has no power and if voting could change things it would be illegal. Americans in the future will learn to mind Big Brother while they enjoy their delicious and nutritious Soylent Green.
