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.
I will die fighting.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
We already know that mentally ill people cannot purchase weapon to defend themselves!
