Lost among the language of Obama's "Economic Stimulus Package," aka "Welfare for Lobbyists," is a little-discussed provision to demand that every American submit to a government program for electronic medical records without a choice to opt out. The fact that this kicks HIPPA to the curb, not to mention all other right-to-privacy laws, including those under the FOIA, is bad enough. Having your medical records sold by GOOGLE to its advertisers makes this provision unconscionable.
But, WAIT! There's more!"
Towards the end of the article is this nugget:
The Citizens' Council on Health Care has worked to publicize the issue in Minnesota. The group raised opposition when the state Department of Health continued to warehouse DNA without parental consent in violation of the genetic privacy and DNA property rights of parents and children.
Twila Brase, president of CCHC, said at the time the problem is that "researchers already are looking for genes related to violence, crime and different behaviors."
She said, "In England they decided they should have doctors looking for problem children, and have those children reported, and their DNA taken in case they would become criminals."
Sounds like we're going to see a Division of Pre-Crime DNA in jolly old England, or pretty much the plot of the movie, MINORITY REPORT.
In fact, published reports in Britain note that senior police forensics experts believe genetic samples should be studied, because it may be possible to identify potential criminals as young as age 5. What could happen through subsequent programs to address such conditions, she wondered.
"Not all research is great," she said.
All together now,

Yes...I am aware of this...so?
Thanks, null and void.
Ping.
So it is a very disturbing bypassing of Constitutional safeguards which is aggravated by the silence concerning whether or not Obama is constitutionally qualified to be president. You may find that of small moment. Many do not, including many of those who voted for John McCain.
FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND TAX PURPOSES-NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION
Right there along the bottom...
Hi N&V
It looks like a post from you.
But....
For identification purposes can you verify the four digits of your social?
The nightmare is getting worse and worse. When do we get to wake up??
And we know who Margaret Sanger was tight with.
(Hitler, for lurkers who do not know this hidden bit of histoire.)
Sure. The day after Satan starts ice-skating to work.
You REALLY don't want the answer to that.
I do. I really do.
You are happier not knowing.
This could get way out of hand.
I always want to know the plain facts, even if distressing. I want to know the diagnosis, with all its ugliness, rather than fuzzy pink lies.
I want justice and truth served, ASAP. Whatever the cost, either nationally or personally. It may be the just the bitter medicine that is needed. As an herbalist, I know that the herbs needed for sickness, especially fever and infection and to eliminate toxins, are always bitter. The herbs to build strength are mild tasting. And before strength can be built up, the toxins and infection need to be eliminated.
Not “could get”, the very premis is already way out of hand.
Fair enough. Though it’s just starting in the states, so it might be reversible. England appears to be already gone.
*sigh*
Okay, you asked for it.
We have little industrial base.
We have a zillion dollars in entitlements of one stripe or another.
In classic Kleptocratic fashion, that money will initially be stolen from taxpayers.
We will soon have hyper-inflation.
The domestic taxpayers will start to balk.
The entitlement recipients will revolt if their rice-bowls aren’t filled for them, and will need to be kept otherwise busy.
In classic a Kleptocracy the solution is to invade the neighbors and steal their resources and means of production.
When the neighbors are bled dry, invade their neighbors.
At some point, someone across the sea takes an interest.
The someone across the sea has little choice but to stop this expansionism before it reaches their own borders.
A no-holds-barred war starts.
It ends only when the will of one side or the other is broken.
Winner occupies the resulting gravel pit.
Now go back and re-read that and tell me if I am talking about 1930s Germany or modern America...

I will admit that such train of thought has passed through the station of my mind as well.
Also, consider China.
Well, I’ll be darned! China is across the sea...
I’m thinking that the neighbor across the sea has already started expanding into areas in other continents, and apparently is upping its need for - steel - even though factories are closing by the hundreds or thousands. Odd, that. Plus they are announcing bird flu deaths - 6 or 7 in the last few weeks, with unusual “warnings” which they have never done before. Cases are strung out in widely spaced provinces or states or whatever they’re called in China.
Another oddity.
