and THE BAFFLED CHRISTIAN'S HANDBOOK
America was rightfully alarmed in late September when Representatives
Bob Barr (R-GA) and Ron Paul (TX) revealed the fact that somehow, un-
beknown to anyone, and for some as yet unexplained reason, the
National ID Card that Hillary Clinton, Marc Tucker and Ira Magaziner had
adroitly concealed in the failed Health Security Act of 1994 had somehow
"accidentally" been passed, in a somewhat illegal and unconstitutional
fashion, and was now "the law of the land."
Pictured (see link below) is the actual "Healthcare Passport" card
currently being used in three American cities. Displayed is the front
and back of that card. This photo was scanned from the brochure used
by the National Institute of Health to introduce the new card in a
seminar in Denver earlier this year. The word "passport" on the card
had to have been a tongue-in-cheek addition, since it is the precursor
of the internal passport that will ultimately control your ability to
move freely throughout this great land. The card is biometric. Stored
on this card is the complete medical history of the card's owner. Also
stored on the card is every conceivable piece of information about
that person. Imbedded in the card is a tracking device.
The plan to create and implement a National ID Card, while first made
"public" in a private White House meeting on Nov. 11, 1993 and discu-
ssed in a disavowed protocol that detailed the dialogue of that
meeting, is not uniquely a Clintonoid idea even though the National ID
Card first appears innocuously concealed in the Health Security Act as
a "healthcare benefits card" that the First Lady insisted had to be
carried by every American--even if they refused to be covered by the
plan--under penalty of law.
The same card, in the form of a national driver's license, had just
been mandated by the European Union for all of the new European
States. A brief battle waged in Europe over the national driver's
license. Most Europeans had experienced national identity cards
in the past and realized quickly the new universal European driver's
license was an internal passport that would give their new government
the tool they needed to control their lives. The media immediately
labeled those who resisted the EU driver's license as "globalphobes"
who were against progress, and wanted to return Europe to the days
of the cold war. They were the extremists.
In the United States, the Clinton's knew a National ID Card spelled
problems, regardless what name was put on it. However, as a healthcare
card that provided each American with thousands of dollars of free
medical care, they correctly surmised that the ramblings of the right
wing zealots could be easily dismissed by the mainstream liberal media.
The media did its job well.
The Health Security Act was the best thing since sliced bread and
peanut butter. According to the media, the Health Security Act would
provide healthcare for the millions upon millions of uninsured Americans.
The media even obliged by ignoring the obviously flawed cost assessments
as well.
Hillary demanded that Congress pass the Health Security Act without
any changes--reminiscent of FDR's passing the "emergency legislation"
that kicked off the New Deal without allowing members of Congress to
even see the legislation they were voting on--and unconstitutionally
granting Roosevelt almost dictatorial power over the United States.
Congress wasn't buying. They read the Health Security Act. Then,
they rejected it. It was, they declared, the most expensive social
experiment in the world.
Buried in the National Archives, in the working papers of the Hillary
Clinton healthcare plan, was a game plan in the event the Health
Security Act went down in flaming defeat. The game plan? Implement
another healthcare act that provided healthcare for children. No one
would dare deny healthcare to children. To introduce the plan, they called
on Teddy Kennedy. Kennedy failed. Kennedy, they realized, was trusted
by most Americans even less than the Clintons.
Next they turned to Orrin Hatch, who teamed up with Kennedy and rammed
the legislation through Congress. Healthcare for kids. Of course,
everyone was in favor of it. Voting against it was a good way to lose an
election. And, once the law was codified, the bureaucracy possessed
the authority to simply expand it to include anyone and everyone.
What was not in the legislation was funding to create a biometric
health care card. The authority to do it was there, but not the money.
For the money, the Clinton administration turned to the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation. The foundation, created by the founder of Johnson
&Johnson, obliged and funded the experimental program which was kicked
off in three western cities (noted above).
What was introduced to members of the National Institute of Health in
Denver as a card that will record the inoculation records of children,
includes everything from DNA typing to that individual's medical, psy-
chiatric and financial history. It was because the biometric card
would also contain the psychiatric history of the cardholder that an
employee of the National Institute of Health approached me and offered
me the data that is contained in this report.
In my initial meeting with the NIH employee, I was also told that this
person had commented to a NIH executive that it was not good for the
card to contain so much personal information that was not needed to
monitor the rates of inoculation of the children covered by the
program, since it would provide the government information that could
easily be misused.
At that point the NIH executive laughed and said "What do you think
we have do with the data we get from Medicare and Medicaid? We've
been using it for years to apprehend and deport illegal aliens and to
capture those wanted by the law."
In the case of the Health Passport, which is the precursor of the
National Driver's License that will go into affect nationwide on
October 1, 2000, however, there is one added feature--it contains
a tracking chip.
At a recent National Institute of Health seminar, an NIH executive
proudly displayed an electronic map created by the NIH computer tech-
nicians that pinpointed every Health Passport card holder in Denver,
Colorado. It was a "living map" that would track each Health Passport
card holder if and when they moved. Whether or not such a map had been
created for the other two "pilot" cities is not known.
