Digitizing all health records to provide supposedly cheap/efficient/accessible information storage, will be step #1 for initiating the New World Order’s subversive plan to require implantation of an electronic RFID tracking chip in every man, woman, and child..to do this requires 100% participation by the public. This is why the mandatory health care law is being pushed on our society through the new O’bama care program.

Billions of electronic records around the world have already been stolen and compromised since electronic medical systems were introduced. This is just the beginning of total damage that will occur.

IBM was the company who helped Hitler code people into groups so they could figure out which people to save and which to exterminate and in which order. (Watch Michael Moore’s movie, The Corporation).

Also, I myself suffered for a long time because another patient’s records had gotten mixed in with mine and my doctor believed he had my results back from a specialist I had never seen! These records can kill you as well as save you. There is also no computer in the world that’s unhackable.

By 1970, computerization will have automated many boring, repetitive tasks allowing workers more free time. By 1980, most people will only need to work about 20 hours a week and yet will make sufficient income due to the greater efficiencies generated by automation, which companies will benificently share with their employees.

Yes, society can look forward to a bright future with more leisure and a better, more comfortable lifestyle.

I’ll bet that by 1970 there won’t be any paper used at all any hospitals……oh, never mind

This was filmed at Akron Children’s Hospital (not Akron General). Pictured (speaking) is our president (at that time), Roger Sherman.
