Let’s start here:
“A study on rats published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology showed that sound waves could be used to [reversibly] reduce sperm counts to levels that cause infertility in humans…The concept…is now being pursued by researchers at the University of North Carolina who won a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.” — (BBC News/Health, Jan.29, 2012, reported at naturalnews.com).
After Darwin cast his view of evolution upon the waters, a notion that humans were “naturally selected” bio-machines gained increasing consensus.
If Science could understand how a human was built, it could not only cure illness, it could change the inherent pattern of the body and brain. Evolution was merely a history of changes in the bio-machine.
Eventually, this position was taken to the full extreme. The Eugenics movement sprang up in America and Germany, where it was used for a program of pure destruction.
In other words, evolution could be managed through depopulation. Some live, some die, some are genetically enhanced, some are not.
Through movies, through the press, through heavily promoted speculation— “we are on the verge of enormous breakthroughs in genetics”—the population is being primed for a pseudo-philosophy of selection.
On the one hand we are fed “highly positive” assurances that designer genetics will enable the creation of smarter, more talented, stronger, healthier people of the future. On the other hand, we are told that the exigencies of “public health care” make it necessary to differentiate between “viable and non-viable” patients.
These two threads are woven together, and in the confusion people are giving in, more and more, to the idea of a New Eugenics.
At bottom is the un-debated question: IS A HUMAN A BIO-MACHINE AND NOTHING MORE?
Most academic philosophers will tell you the question itself is meaningless. That’s their way of skirting the issue of free will.
And any political document based on liberty and freedom can be trampled on with impunity.
“There are only brains and those brains operate purely by genetic determinism.”
And that opens the door to various versions of Eugenics. Because who can object to experiments on machines?
Lee Silver, an enthusiastic molecular biologist at Princeton, has written a book, Remaking Eden, about the future of gene science in society. This is how he sees things playing out up the line:
“The GenRich—who account for ten percent of the American population—all carry synthetic genes. All aspects of the economy, the media, the entertainment industry, and the knowledge industry are controlled by members of the GenRich class… .
“Naturals work as low-paid service providers or as laborers. [Eventually] the GenRich class and the Natural class will become entirely separate species with no ability to crossbreed, and with as much romantic interest in each other as a current human would have for a chimpanzee.”
Go into a university department of genetics/molecular biology, or a department of philosophy, and try to find a real discussion and debate about whether humans have free will, whether the human being is only a bio-machine. Good luck.
Individual freedom has been cut out of the equation.
But no one at the university level deems this a significant or disturbing fact. Teachers are far more interested in “group values” and “consensus” and the deconstruction of all ideas into an analysis of who benefits from having the ideas.
The rearranging of genes in humans has, for some time, been discussed openly in academic journals. The cat is out of the bag. Geneticists, biologists, social scientists, bio-ethicists are all weighing in.
And this is quite understandable, because not only do scientists tend to have a sense of their own superior entitlement and intelligence, they believe they’re tinkering with (biological) machines. They might not phrase it that way, but that’s what it comes down to.
David King, writing at Human Genetics Alert, states:
“The main debate around human genetics currently centres on the ethics of genetic testing, and possibilities for genetic discrimination and selective eugenics. But while ethicists and the media constantly re-hash these issues, a small group of scientists and publicists are working towards an even more frightening prospect: the intentional genetic engineering of human beings. Just as Ian Wilmut presented us with the first clone of an adult mammal, Dolly, as a fait accompli, so these scientists aim to set in place the tools of a new techno-eugenics, before the public has ever had a chance to decide whether this is the direction we want to go in. The publicists, meanwhile are trying to convince us that these developments are inevitable.”
That’s the key idea. “There’s nothing we can do now. The march of progress is underway.”
King continues:
“One major step towards reproductive genetic engineering is the proposal by US gene therapy pioneer, French Anderson, to begin doing gene therapy on foetuses, to treat certain genetic diseases. Although not directly targeted at reproductive cells, Anderson’s proposed technique poses a relatively high risk that genes will be ‘inadvertently’ altered in the reproductive cells of the foetus, as well as in the blood cells which he wants to fix. Thus, if he is allowed to go ahead, the descendants of the foetus will be genetically engineered in every cell of their body.”
But the gene enthusiasts don’t care about what happens up the line to the descendants. It’s all part of the grand experiment. Spin the wheel, take a chance. If “we” don’t like the outcome, spin the wheel again and see what happens. Eventually, we’ll get it right.
One of the most enthusiastic proponents of human genetic engineering, Gregory Stock, former director of the program in Medicine, Technology, and Society at the UCLA School of Medicine, has written:
“Even if half the world’s species were lost, enormous diversity would still remain. When those in the distant future look back on this period of history, they will likely see it not as the era when the natural environment was impoverished, but as the age when a plethora of new forms—some biological, some technological, some a combination of the two—burst onto the scene. We best serve ourselves, as well as future generations, by focusing on the short-term consequences of our actions rather than our vague notions about the needs of the distant future.”
(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)
And why should individual free will be an obstacle; that’s just a superstitious fantasy; freedom was never real; there was always and only The Experiment; natural selection, intentional selection—what’s the difference?
Scientific/medical/technological elitists are sitting at the table with many chips to play. They’re betting that, in the long run, they will win, because they are touting hypnotically entrancing “imperatives.”
And if by chance, they discover a reliable way to utilize gene insertion to produce sterility and infertility, they will see a path to quiet depopulation. And then who will control the technology? Wide-eyed futurists who teach at universities, or calculating operatives who work for the hardest-line Globalists?
The current generation of scientists and academics who want to move full speed ahead on engineering evolution aren’t the old crusty scowling researchers from days gone by. They’re enthused, they’re daring, they look and dress like ex-hippies who’ve moved to the suburbs. They’re happy sociopaths spreading cheer. And they talk like software designers operating on the bright cutting edge.
What could go wrong?
And to cement in the argument for engineering humans, there is the ever-popular fairness argument. Professor Julian Savalescu, of the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics:
“Nature allots all sorts of abilities and talents in a random way. It’s not fair, and I don’t see why we should let people’s lives be determined by the throw of a dice.”
Unless throwing a pair of scientific dice results in multiplying catastrophes, or the use of workable genetic technology (if it really is workable) raises an unending roar and riot from millions, even billions of people who claim they’re being denied their right to be Equal.
When individual freedom is no longer discussed in great depth by people who should know better, when it is left to wither on the vine, many programs and structures are built to take its place.
These programs, like the genetic engineering of humans, are meant to erase the consciousness that freedom is important or even exists.

In all of this churn, what are the views of the “bioethicists” and do they have “standing”? For that matter is something like the Hippocratic Oath that guide said bioethicists, or is this yet another “situational” discipline?
Professor of philosophy and bioethics at New York University, S. Matthew Liao, might be someone you’d be interested in reading up on in your quest to answers to those quesitons.

And as I read this article, seated upon my front porch, I glance up at the milky white haze that blocks the blue sky. A man and woman are happily strolling their infant child around the neighborhood. As they approach my house, they are laughing. Their baby breaths the chemtrails in and out of its tiny lungs. They wave at me and smile…
…I politely return the gesture.
Hello Jon!
“reduce sperm counts to levels that cause infertility in humans” WiFi radiation (RF-EMW) does the same! http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0015028211026781
And we live in a Wi-Fi PLANET!
Best regards!

I have mixed thoughts and feelings on some of the issues raised:
1) Nature always wins, and we, as a species aren’t very important. To paraphrase George Carlin’, “the Earth will shake us off like a bunch a fleas and not miss a one of us.”
2) Genetic archaeology suggests that we, as a species are descended from a very small group that survived some type of extinction event, hence the “Eve” of genetics.
3) There is archaeological and geologic evidence that Homo Sapiens have not only existed far longer than the stewards of academe acknowledge, but evidence that we, contemporary hominids are not the first so-called advanced civilization to Bless/Curse this planet. Our hubris assures our downfall.
4) Nature always wins. Let them create their Frankenstein monsters and their Human Centipedes, Blow-Back is a Bitch, especially when you go against Nature.
5) We aren’t that important, and there is no “Death.”
Human beings are not machines; they’re both spiritual and physical beings, made to the image and likeness of God, Creator of the Universe. Humans were given free will by God; therefore, freedom is NOT obsolete; it’s everlasting; it’s God given.
I believe eugenics was begun on the west coast in the early ’30’s. As for Germany using it in the same insidious way as the west? Taking into account the innumerable lies and falsehoods exposed by the “winners”, coupled with the limitless atrocities done by same, I have strong doubts.
Hi Jon, what boggles what little mind I have left is how this information, like information about Fukushima doesn’t seem to move the social/cultural mass. This isn’t new, it’s been in the “ethers” for ten years that I know about. We as a collective like to believe only positive, medical use of this technology will be done. But I don’t see any current socio/political evidence that this would be adhered to. In my layman opinion. if these kind of programs are instituted, they will accelerate with each generation and I believe in less than a hundred years the human species as we know it will no longer exist. Some ancient hangers-on will probably be kept in anthropological zoos or worse case, exhibited in jars of formaldehyde. Great article, sharp perspective. thanks.

It is as 7thpillar says ” Our hubris assures our downfall”. Can you imagine if Humanity were replaced by clones of the members of the Council of Foreign Relations (the guys that brought us the Muslim holocaust)? Oh that would work! I am a Buddhist and must yield to a great artist who said, ” the meek (without hubris?) will inherit the Earth.”
Only governments are capable of genocides or holocausts.
The targets are irrelevant, wholesale slaughter with a pretense is all that matters to such monsters.
Gypsies, Jews, Ukrainians, Armenians, Muslims, Native Americans, Aborigines, Cathars, Witches,…
…the list is as long as you want it to be, and if you can’t come up with an obvious target – make one up! Because you’re in power!
I have a daughter who will be 22 soon. I grieve for what I fear she will experience during her lifetime.
A Fourth Turning is upon us. I doubt it will be pleasant.
The only solace I have is that it will pass.
All the victim groups listed above, except one, have a common thread. The evil/horror visited upon them by co-opted “governments” and the treachery behind those bought and paid for can be verified and is verified by an amalgam of researchers/ history supported from multiple groups/peoples across the planet except one. All are open to public debate, update, clarification etc. except one. Only one group of “victims” has the power to fine one into poverty, imprison one for daring to question. Fines, years in prison over and over again. regardless of what objective facts show. Why? Because only one group of “victims” has power over the media to beat fools over the head with unsubstantiated garbage over and over and over again. Only one has the power over corrupted “leaders” to demand they pass draconian laws stifling objective research with threats of confiscation of assets and imprisonment.

Why would any “victim” group crush debate, block access to an OBJECTIVE media, use their almost limitless power to block debate and an “open air” examination of all facts and evidence?
It makes a person with the ability for critical/objective reasoning wonder. Is this group of “victims” truly victimized or is it the perpetrator of the evil used to victimize? Clear your head of the vitriol and rhetorical dogma spread by a media owned/controlled by them and look only for the truth, the verifiable, “open for scrutiny” information.

[…] Freedom is obsolete, go with genes […]
The news lately carries a story that a genetic marker has been found for depression in boys; identification is the precursor of inevitable “treatment”. Homosexuality has been (re)characterized as innate; paedophilia and bestiality will inevitably have similar explanations. Then will be isolated genes disposing one to theft, murder, etc.–all sure eventually to be “treatable”. A pretence will be made that science has finally conquered faith, as if science is not itself necessarily a faith, and demonstrably often a false one. What a hellish world is being created for us, which no one will escape because of the power of centralized finance (whether private or state) to suck everyone into the maelstrom.
