A shocking title for a post, is it not?
Because, of course, I’m writing only in terms of the most horribly-possible hyperbole, am I not?
Because, after all, following us individually like Big Brother’s Medical Official is so far out of human ken as to be unbelievable, is it not?
It is not.
It is here, it is now, and it is beginning in the UK; home — oddly enough — of the original Big Brother from the mind of George Orwell (true name: Eric Arthur Blair via the novel Nineteen Eighty Four, published in 1949).
From the UK’s DailyMailOnline:
Big brother to log your drinking habits and waist size as GPs are forced to hand over confidential records ■Data includes weight, cholesterol, BMI, family health history and pulse rate ■Doctors will be forced to reveal alcohol consumption and smoking status
■Privacy campaigners described it as ‘biggest data grab in NHS history’ ■Part of new Health Service programme called Everyone Counts ■Officials insisted data will be anonymous and deleted after analysis Question: what is ObamaKare except the NHS “writ large” for the United States? ObamaKare likewise demands a massive central database into which your health information will be dumped with 314,000,000 others.
GPs are to be forced to hand over confidential records on all their patients’ drinking habits, waist sizes and illnesses.
The files will be stored in a giant information bank that privacy campaigners say represents the ‘biggest data grab in NHS history’.
They warned the move would end patient confidentiality and hand personal information to third parties.
Officials insisted the personal information would be made anonymous and deleted after analysis.
Trust me: NOTHING is “deleted after analysis” when it involves the government or the private sector and MONEY or POWER can be derived from such information.
Because?
Information IS Power.
But Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering at Cambridge University, said: ‘Under these proposals, medical confidentiality is, in effect, dead and there is currently nobody standing in the way.’ Nick Pickles, of the privacy group Big Brother Watch, said NHS managers would now be in charge of our most confidential information.
He added: ‘It is unbelievable how little the public is being told about what is going on, while GPs are being strong-armed into handing over details about their patients and to not make a fuss.
‘Not only have the public not been told what is going on, none of us has been asked to give our permission for this to happen.’
The same is beginning to occur in the United States of America.
The land of the free; the home of the brave. The nation that decided to declare its independence from Britain.
And as I reported here on BZ, US doctors will soon be Mandated Reporters about guns in your home, what you have, how you store them, and how said storage may affect the violence visited upon your family. Which = your “overall health.”
Which is how the US government will manage to stick its camel nose into your family tent. Security. Safety. “For the children.”
Because, importantly now, in the UK:
“Patients will not be able to opt out of the system.”
Imagine that. The SYSTEM rules ALL.
I don’t believe that anyone objects if their medical records in, say, Kaiser, are digitized. And if Patient A moves from Kaiser to Blue Shield, I suspect no one objects if their digitized medical records are transferred from Kaiser to Blue Shield.
I suspect that, however, clear thinking individuals will and should object if their digitized medical records are shared with any other entity including the United States Government, for any reason whatsoever.
It is none of the government’s business what I drink, what I read, where I piss, what I eat, the color of my shit, my hat size, my BMI, how I drive, what I drive, how frequently I enjoy sex with my wife, the positions we favor, the houses I own, our fetishes, if I have seven nipples or a bunion on my right foot — UNTIL I DEMAND that the US government pay for the mitigation or funding of these things.
That was private business between my medical provider and myself, having deeply paid into my various medical plans for over forty years and not been subsidized by the federal government in any way, shape or form.
These were contracts between me and my local providers and my local agencies, where my privacy held primacy. But no more.
The UK is primarily lost on any number of levels. It consists of an unprecedented number of GOWPs (Guilty Overeducated White People) whose numbers are now dwindling, losing a national secular battle with the demographics of Islam, featuring an ancient infrastructure that will be sacrificed or disregarded if fiscally or politically expedient.
The government shall rule. “Will” is permissive; “shall” is mandatory.
And, further, if the Human Genome becomes well and truly “broken,” you can rest assured that certain classes of people will become permanent underclasses the moment they are born — if they have not yet been aborted.
If for no other reason than fiscal governmental expediency.
Hence the title of my post, due to what I call the “logical extension”:
If you aren’t medically perfect in a few decades, you will be killed.
Our current secular trends indicate and mandate this.
Logan’s Run
I am so surprised.
1) One should never underestimate the utter ruthlessness of such people. For example, there are almost no hemophiliacs in France, because the French health minister and his peers knowingly let them all be injected with the essential clotting factor that they needed to survive, that he knew was HIV contaminated.
4,000 people died, because of the false empathy of the left, that “couldn’t bear” to see them suffer. And also because clotting factor is expensive.
2) The US Public Health Service conducted the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, from 1932 to 1972, leaving 400 black men to suffer and die from untreated syphilis, even though they learned that penicillin was a cure for the disease by 1947. They still let 400 men suffer and die, for no reason at all.
3) Pellagra, niacin (B3) deficiency, is a horrific disease with horrific consequences. In 1938 the cause and cure for it, a small amount of inexpensive brewer’s yeast, was made, so all white children in the southern US were regularly issued brewer’s yeast pills. But not the black children. No effort was made to protect them.
The bottom line is that some doctors see human life as no different from bacteria grown in a petri dish. Heaven help you if you are ever under their “care.”
And politically correct.
Our first Muslim President is working to make sure politically correct means Islam, Sharia law. The emergency rooms probably will not treat infidels if the Obama crowd beheads them.
Ever see ‘Gattaca”? That is our future.
“The Island” was a cross between “Logan’s Run” and “Coma,” but it fits too.
“... ever see Gattaca?”
Oh my goodness, I have been wracking my brain trying to think of the name of the movie~ Yes Gattaca fits the description of this article perfectly.
And here I thought I knew some trivia.
Moving from NY to GA I was struck by the number of Down’s children in the latter - as the former had almost none.

What did you say?
This is going on in many places already. Europe, Russia, Israel.
Actually, based on what they said, I’m not even sure they could detect any number of cancers greater than statistically random.
Compare this to the chickenpox and shingles connection. It is very obvious. Likewise Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. Very obvious. Hepatitis and liver cancer.
There is a less strong connection between Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and a few different types of lymphoma and nasopharyngeal cancer. Only a small fraction of those who get EBV will get cancer.
Human T-lymphotrophic virus-1 (HTLV-1) and Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), have a vague connection to some cancers.
Otherwise, years ago there was concern that the herpes virus could cause long term heart damage. However, further analysis put is so low on the list of contributing factors to heart disease as to be almost incidental.
Lots of people who are HIV positive develop cancer, but there is no direct relation with the HIV itself. The cancers are because of their weak immune system.
