GovTrack.us - H.R. 3166 - Enemy Expatriation Act
This bill currently before congress would give the government the right to revoke a nationals citizenship. In other words, they can take away your citizenship even if you were born here to two parents who were citizens and also born here. This is unconstitutional, plain and simple; but, lets consider what it might mean.
What happens if you lose your citizenship and do not hold citizenship in another country, what rights do you have at that point? Well, obviously you don't get to vote and perhaps you wouldn't even have a right to work. It also means that you would not be entitled to your constitutional rights. Basically, you would have all the rights of an illegal alien. Maybe people should have thought a lot harder about which rights illegal aliens should have.
How does one take away another's "inalienable" rights? How does that become constitutional? You matter, no matter what they say, no matter what the law, you matter and I matter. The moment your government says you don't matter, it doesn't deserve your respect. Peace.

Medical Madness and Your Rights
Here is an interesting article from the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics - Should Participation in Vaccine Clinical Trials be Mandated?
The authors argue that it would be okay to force people to participate in clinical trials of vaccines and we are not talking about soldiers or felons. They also make the claim that paying people as an incentive is wrong because the trials fall on the poor. If you read my last post you might begin to see where all of this is going.
What will the price tag be to receive medical treatment in the future in the United States, what rights will you have to give up? Perhaps you will need to donate your organs to science, perhaps you will need to participate in vaccine trials or even be required to be vaccinated before receiving treatment. This could go down in a lot of different ways; but, they all come down to you as an individual ceasing to be important.

Medicine and Enslavement
A couple of years ago the Federal government began requiring doctors and hospitals to make electronic copies of all medical records. Supposedly this was to help people bring their records with them wherever they might go. Since then we have had the federal government institute laws for "health care reform", many call this new healthcare law "Obamacare" which isn't truly accurate. Well, calling it reform isn't really accurate either. Whenever they take away something from the average person they tend to call it reform Pension reform means you get paid less when you retire.
Anyways, now that all of your health information is electronic we can do amazing things. As healthcare costs begin to fall on the federal government there will be an increasing concern over those who don't do preventative actions to stay healthy. If you choose to be obese or smoke there will no doubt be a higher charge to you for your healthcare or a reduction in the care that you get. Now here is where it gets truly invasive and your privacy goes away.
Huffington Post UK - New 'Smart' Pill With Edible Microchip Monitors Patients' Medication
According to the article they will be able to give you a pill that monitors your taking of your medicines, your sleep, your eating habits. Three years ago I stopped taking all the pills that the doctors had placed me on. I have also refused to go and see my doctors anymore. Nice enough people; but, the pills were killing me and I had enough of them.
So, what happens if you refuse to take the pill. You will probably be denied healthcare. Here is an article from "Before it is News" - The Digitization of Health Information: Why Primary Care Is At A Moneyball Moment
Think it sounds crazy. Guess what, as I was writing this I paused by Yahoo news and found this article. Yahoo News - The Atlantic - 5% of Americans Made Up 50% of U.S. Healthcare Spending
I like how the article ends talking about how the real challenge is bringing down healthcare costs. Perhaps we will all get a predesignated amount of healthcare for our lifetime and it will be up to us to save it for when we are older. We shall see.

A Video Report about Biometric India
I didn't come up with the title for the video. This is a Sky News report about the Indian government's biometrically identifying everyone in the country. The professed reason is to stop government corruption. Huh? I guess the implication is that it will be tied to all financial transactions. It should go fairly nicely along with the coming required international internet i.d.

Did You Hear the One About Chiasso
So two Japanese guys were stopped at the Italian border with Chiasso, Switzerland. Some reports said that the two gentlemen worked for the Japanese finance ministry. In either case, they were found with $134 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds. This happened in June of 2009; but, I just now got around to writing about it.
The United States was called in to verify if they were real and there seems to be some confusing and conflicting data on the answer. Eventually the government said that they were probably fakes, probably.
Oh, the two men, we don't know who they were and they were allowed to leave. In fact, nothing has been said what became of the two. I find that a little odd. Each bond was for about $500 million. Now, who could you possibly sell them to, anyone would verify that they were good before accepting them. The total dollar amount is staggering and there is no way to use them without them being verified first.
In 2009 two Philippine nationals were stopped with $180 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds and then in 2011 in Italy, six people were caught with $20 billion in U.S. Treasury Bonds. What is interesting about the Italian case is that the people involved are being charged with receiving stolen goods. Doesn't that mean that the bonds were real?
So what are we supposed to believe? What the heck is going on. Either all the bonds are fake, in which case you have to ask why anyone would bother faking them or the bonds are real in which case, who could possibly think to move such amounts of money? While Glen Beck mentioned the Chiasso incident on his show, it failed to get any real attention in the mainstream media.

A Day Off and Things to Tag as Music
It is four in the morning and I am thinking, never a good thing. One thing I decided to do to keep my mind from wandering was tag all the posts that have music as Music. Hope you enjoy.

You know, I went across the street today to go to the store. When I got there I was told how much I was loved. Isn't that strange, isn't the fact that random young people tell me that they love me? We saw a baby and it smiled and blew me a kiss, I don't understand it. There are people that meet me and just like me and I don't understand why. I mean, I like kids and they seem to like me; but, I meet people that take an immediate liking to me and I cannot understand why. Is this normal?
