Our Tummies Are Being Tickled

Guest Post by Patti Johnson

I will never forget the scene in the movie “Babe” where the farmer’s wife is feeding Babe to fatten him up for the dinner table. After cute little Babe’s tummy is full, she tickles his tummy and he giggles in delight, oblivious to what the future holds for him. We could compare that scene to modern man as he enjoys all the latest technological advances: smart watches, AI secretaries, Ring, smart appliances, etc.

As he stares at his smart phone he is delighted and celebrates modern technology but is oblivious to the digital prison encompassing him rapidly. As the nails are being hammered in his coffin he rejoices when President Trump proclaims that AI will streamline government and cut wasteful spending, not realizing that in the process data on every citizen, starting at birth, will be sent to and through these centralized AI Databases and that human agencies will be replaced with technocratic algorithmic control.

Many celebrated when they were told that by building massive AI Data centers the US will surpass China. The “America First” mantra was repeated. Yet they do not realize that both America First and Chinese AI models just “represent competing models of technocratic surveillance.” [1]

Years ago, the collection of data to be transmitted to federal databases had already been implemented at the state and local levels starting at birth and following the child through K-12 and into adulthood.

One example is the vaccine tracking database which starts at birth with the Hepatitis B vaccine. If you are not privy to this dangerous practice, please read “Should your newborn baby and kindergartener receive a vaccine for an STD?”[2]

All 50 states and the District of Columbia have vaccine tracking systems that include the Hepatitis B vaccine administered at birth, as part of their Immunization Information Systems (IIS).[3] These systems, often referred to as immunization registries, are managed by state or local health departments to track vaccinations across populations, starting with the Hepatitis B “birth dose” recommended by the CDC since 1991.[4] [5]

According to a parental rights advocate who has been fighting  vaccine tracking systems for over 15 years, “Even worse, most vaccine tracking systems are populated without consent and once you are in the system you can’t purge the demographic data. As of a few years ago there were only a few states that had a true opt-in with consent.”

This tracking system follows your child through the “wellness” doctor visits. The main purpose of wellness visits is to inject your child up with over 100 different viruses and bacteria through his/her childhood. A close friend decided that she did not want her child to get multiple shots at one of her wellness visits so she asked the doctor if her child could be given individual vaccines at different wellness visits to spread them out. She realized that there was no research on safety and the possible health side effects of multiple viruses and bacteria being shot into her child at a doctor’s visit.

For example, she wanted just one measle shot and not the MMR measles, mumps and rubella combo shot at the office visit. She also did not want the three in one DPT Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus shot. The doctor denied her request. Her doctor then reported her refusal into the IIS (Immunization Information System). Shortly thereafter she was contacted by the health department and intimidated for refusing the “required” shots and for not being up to date on her child’s immunization schedule according to the CDC recommended vaccines for children. In the future she could be arrested and lose custody of her child as is happening in some countries.

Lesson learned: A vaccine tracking system starting at birth is being used to collect and share immunization data on your children. Authorities will contact you if your child does not get ALL the required shots.

Immunization data will be transported to and through the new one stop health data system, CMS Digital Health Tech Ecosystem, launched by the Trump administration on July 30, 2025. At the unveiling President Trump pitched one of his latest tech plans with his typical catchy title, “Make Health Technology Great Again.” (Anybody else tired of these slogans being used to get us on board?) The CMS Digital Health Tech Ecosystem is purported “to modernize the U.S. healthcare system by enhancing data interoperability.”

Meaning that it will share health information digitally.  The system connects hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies across the U.S. using technology. It’s being rolled out nationwide, with results expected by early 2026, and big companies like Amazon and Google are “helping” make it work. Gee, our two favorite Big Tech companies.

But wait there’s more…..Not only will your child’s immunization records be transported to and through these AI mega databases but myriads of other information including educational, health and psychological records that have been collected since birth.

The Student Data Handbook for Elementary, Secondary, and Early Childhood Education was developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and first published in 2000. The handbook was intended to standardize data collection practices across schools and districts nationwide. It serves as a reference guide to establish consistent terms, definitions and classification codes for maintaining, collecting, reporting and exchanging student information across districts to the state level and on to the federal government.

The following are quotes from some of the categories in this voluminous document:

030-Religious background,

 031- #12 Personality test: An assessment to measure a student’s affective or nonintellectual aspects of behavior such as emotional adjustment, interpersonal relations, motivations, interests and attitudes.,

 #14 Psychological test: an assessment to measure a sample of behavior in an objective and standardized way., #99 Other

189-  #4 Attitudinal Test: An assessment to measure the mental or emotional set or pattern of likes or dislikes or opinions held by the student or group of students. This is also used in relation to considerations such as controversial issues or personal adjustments. #6 Developmental observations: An assessment to measure a child’s development based on observation. This is most frequently associated with early childhood education and care. Areas of observation and/or evaluation may include and are not limited to a child’s cognitive and language development, social and emotional development, hygiene, nutrition and self-help skills, as well as gross and fine motor skills. 

This database contains entry codes for an extensive list of medical conditions along with the name, social security number, and address of the child and family. The information can be transmitted directly without the parents’ permission from the local school district to the state department of education and to the Federal Department of Education. If President Trump justifiably rids us of the monstrous, useless and tax dollar sucking Federal Education Department the result will be that student data will still be transmitted/shared to and through the new AI Data Centers run by algorithms implemented by our dear friends at Google and Amazon.

But wait, there’s more…..

Did you know that expectant moms are being observed when they enter the hospital to deliver a baby? The nurse observes and reports any discrepancies they feel showcase poor parenting skills. Let me give you a real-life example shared by a cousin. She had a problem with her milk coming in after the birth of her baby. The baby would not nurse because there was no milk. The nurse reported to the tracking system that the mother had a problem bonding with her baby. Sure enough, after the mom was released from the hospital, social services came knocking at her door to offer her parenting lessons compliments of PAT, “Parents as Teachers” program.

The PAT program was introduced years ago as part of Goals 2000. The Parents as Teachers program is well established and still active in 2025 and is still monitoring, deciding and reporting which parents are “at risk.” PAT Home-visiting programs are said to “promote positive child development, prevent child maltreatment, and enhance school readiness.” PAT operates across the United States and internationally, delivering services to expectant parents and families with children from prenatal stages through kindergarten. [6]

You may think you do not qualify for being an “at risk” parent but here are a few of the many nebulous “at risk” factors in the PAT program:

death in the family,

divorce,

separation,

a parent who travels frequently,

moving to a new home,

prolonged illness in the family,

birth of a sibling,

three children under the age of three living in the same home,

a parent who smokes,

loss of a job,

low level of income,

overcrowded conditions in the home,

allergies,

lack of stimulation,

over stimulation,

predominantly inappropriate or very few toys,

lack of routine in the home,

other, that wonderful catch all! 

(Note: “that wonderful catch all!” – this phrase was actually in the document)

And by the way… please tell me just what is an inappropriate toy? Probably GI Joe and toy guns by today’s DEI parameters. An appropriate toy according to them would probably be gay Ken or transgender Barbie.

I had a wonderful childhood in the 50’s and 60’s. But my family would have been labelled “at risk” and in need of intervention to teach my parents parenting skills because we had three PAT qualifications: both my parents smoked, my sisters and I were all under the age of three and at one point in time my sick grandpa lived with us and my parents cared for him. We all grew up healthy and well-adjusted without help from PAT!

PAT or social services may not come knocking at your door if you have one or more of the “at risk” factors, but the data on you and your children is still being collected by schools, doctors and hospitals at the local and state levels and sent to the federal level. Sometimes the purpose is to justify obtaining more federal dollars for the states and local agencies.  PAT receives federal funding from several agencies:

Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV),

Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA),

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and

Early Head Start programs.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) includes a “Child Find” provision. This provision mandates that states and local education agencies (LEAs) identify, locate and evaluate all children with disabilities, starting at BIRTH, who may need special education and related services, regardless of whether they attend public, private, charter schools or are homeschooled, homeless or in foster care. The lead agency – with the assistance of the state interagency coordinating council – ensures that the system is coordinated with all other major efforts to locate and identify young children by other state agencies and programs including:

Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Programs

Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT)

Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EDHI)

Early Head Start

child protection and child welfare programs, including foster care and CAPTA

programs that provide services under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act

childcare programs, and tribal agencies. [7] [8] [9]

States actively seek out any children who may qualify for special education in order to receive federal funds for a variety of federal programs as listed above. This, of course, serves to push up the numbers of children labeled with ADHD and other “so called” learning disorders. Labelling children with learning disorders, sadly, has become a way for schools to get more funds. This can be a lucrative cash cow. In a letter dated October 8, 1996, the Illinois State Board of Education strongly encouraged the superintendent of one of its districts to participate in Medicaid incentives. The letter stated that Illinois had received $72,500,000 in federal Medicaid money in 1996 and that Medicaid dollars have been used for a variety of non-medical purposes and that “the potential for the dollars is limitless.”

Illinois is at it again. Just recently, July 31, 2025, Governor Pritzer of Illinois signed SB 1560 into law which requires schools to give mental health screenings to students in third grade and higher at least once per year. Thus, as in 1996, the more students they screen and subsequently label with a psychological or learning disorder the more money the state will receive from Medicaid and any of the other federal agencies involved with treatment.

In December 1999, the Los Angeles Times reported that tens of thousands of California’s special education students were placed there, not because they have a serious mental or emotional handicap, but because they were never taught to read properly. Reid Lyon, head of the federal government’s research efforts into reading and writing told the Times, “It’s where children who weren’t taught well go in many cases.”

All this detailed information goes on the child’s permanent record and will be available to be transported nationwide without parental permission to and through President Trump’s “Making Health Technology Great Again” AI data center collection and transport system. According to President Trump” July 23^rd Executive Order called “Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure” federal funds could be withheld from states if they implement safety precautions that limit the new system from going full speed ahead.

One parent was able to obtain the information her school district had collected on her son. She happened to be friends with a conservative school board member who provided her with her son’s file. The file included detailed medical and psychological information about her child starting at birth, including that her son was a bedwetter. She was outraged. At first, she did not know how they even obtained this information. Then she figured the hospital shared the information with her doctor and he had shared her child’s private medical records with the school district. Schools have also been known to give psychological tests to the students without the parent’s permission. This testing practice is connected to “The Student Data Handbook for Elementary, Secondary, and Early Childhood Education” data collection guidelines mentioned earlier in this op-ed.

What right do the schools, doctors and hospitals have testing, collecting and sharing this intrusive information on our children? HIPPA does not protect us. HIPPA stipulates that our files can be sent to a myriad of places without our permission: Public health agencies, law enforcement, courts, research institutions, insurance agencies and other entities. Obviously, in this case, education departments are on the list.

We have been told that these AI data centers will be used to track illegals and potential terrorists using predictive algorithms. Will they use all the psychological data that they collect on our children as a part of this predictive programing?

Do we want this detailed information sent to and through an AI data center built and designed by technocrats and controlled by algorithms that decide whether your child is a threat or eligible for programs funded by the federal government? NO.

Our tummies are being tickled but we are not giggling in delight like Babe.

“There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time.”

– George Orwell, 1984

“The government doesn’t want any system of transmitting information to remain unbroken, unless it’s under its own control.”
