Zika: the gene-editing fix that will blow you away

It’s real, and it’s ready

by Jon Rappoport

February 9, 2016

“Logic students used to learn: you can have a perfectly valid argument, even if your premises, your first assumptions are completely false. Well, if the argument is about politics, your conclusion will be insane. Implementing the conclusion will earn you praise as you destroy lives. What we’re talking about here is a species of mind control.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

What’s the latest solution to the virus that causes nothing?

Here we go.

Punch line: MIT Technology Review, 2/8/16: “We have the technology to destroy all Zika mosquitoes.”

“A controversial genetic technology able to wipe out the mosquito carrying the Zika virus will be available within months, scientists say.

“The technology, called a ‘gene drive,’ was demonstrated only last year in yeast cells, fruit flies, and a species of mosquito that transmits malaria. It uses the gene-snipping technology CRISPR to force a genetic change to spread through a population as it reproduces.

“Three U.S. labs that handle mosquitoes, two in California and one in Virginia, say they are already working toward a gene drive for Aedes aegypti, the type of mosquito blamed for spreading Zika. If deployed, the technology could theoretically drive the species to extinction. (emphasis added)

“’We could have it easily within a year,’ says Anthony James, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Irvine.

“Any release of a gene drive in the wild would be hotly debated by ecologists…But with Zika sowing fear across Latin America and beyond, the technology is likely to get a closer look. ‘Four weeks ago we were trying to justify why we are doing this. Now they’re saying “Get the lead out,”’ says James. ‘It’s absolutely going to change the conversation.’”

No kidding.

Unforeseen consequences? Unpredicted results? Ecological domino effect? Transfer of genes from mosquitoes to humans? Don’t be silly. All is well. Don’t worry, be happy. Move straight ahead with your mouth shut and your eyes closed.

In previous articles, I’ve been reviewing the basics of covert ops, because Zika fits the bill. In this case, take a virus that causes nothing, falsely link it to a tragic condition (babies born with small heads and brain damage), and then slide in the real agendas. I’ve already spelled out some of those plans, which are materializing in front of our eyes.

Gene editing is a towering plan: technocrats don’t like a species—wipe it out.

Build up the threat with lies and obfuscations and false science and wall-to-wall propaganda—then introduce the grand solution.

Depopulation turns out to be easy. Just reconfigure genes. Snip-snip.

The Zika virus isn’t “sowing fear,” as the MIT Review claims. The World Health Organization is inventing that fear. In the 70 years since Zika was discovered, it has, at worst, caused mild transient illness. Now, suddenly, it’s supposed to be creating radical birth defects. Of course, the Brazilian researchers can only find a possible correlation between Zika and the birth defect in 17 cases. Seventeen. Maybe.

But never mind. Wipe out all the mosquitoes that may be carrying Zika. Wipe out the whole species.

And come to think of it, could a case be made that certain human populations are destructive and, well, superfluous? There are people who think so. They also think that, in the onrush of automation and AI, efficient robots could replace those useless populations.

Face it. Despite all the warnings about viruses running out of control and wiping out half the world, the depopulation freaks just haven’t been able to put a dent in the global population. They hope, they pray, but no dice.

However, they have been able to produce one result: planting fear of viruses in humans. They’re adequate to that task. So wake up and smell the cover story.

“In order to destroy the imminent threat of viruses and save the human race, we must turn to cutting-edge technology: gene editing. That’s our ultimate hope.”

Destroy the village in order to save it.

Here are the final paragraphs of the MIT article:

“But a gene drive [gene editing] can also make mosquito populations disappear. The simplest way to do that is to spread a genetic payload that leads to only male offspring. As the ‘male-only’ instructions spread with each new generation, eventually there would be no females left, says Adelman. His lab discovered the Aedes aegypti gene that determines sex only last spring. The next step will be to link it to a gene drive.

“Kevin Esvelt, a gene-drive researcher at MIT’s Media Lab who has been outspoken about the need to proceed cautiously, also thinks Aedes aegypti eradication should be the goal, so long as the public is onboard and the safety of the idea proved.

“’Technologically, we could probably do it in a couple of years,’ says Esvelt. ‘I’m sure we’ll be able to do it before people can agree if we should.’”

Did you get that last piece? The “cautious” scientist says: what the hell, let’s eliminate a whole species if “the public is onboard” and we prove it’s safe.

How to prove safety before launch? Hard to say. Basically, try it and then we’ll know. Vote for the bill and then you can read what’s in it. Allow a global explosion of GMO crops based on zero science about health and economic consequences, and see what happens. Expand the list of mandated vaccines for children from six to 60 and see what happens. Spray poisonous pesticides all over the planet and see what happens.


power outside the matrix


Only cranks and conspiracists and rubes and yokels and Luddites and tree huggers and bitter clingers oppose the march of science. How about editing their genes? It would make things so much easier.

Wipe out the mosquitoes. One small step for man, one giant step for mankind. Today, the mosquito, tomorrow the (fill in the blank).

The mind plays tricks:

“Listen, we’re not talking about depopulation in general. Don’t be silly. We’re just going to wipe out one species of very troublesome insect that’s wreaking havoc. Come on. It’s just once. We’ll never do it again. We’re not crazy. We’re researchers. Just give us a chance. Please. We want to launch the experiment and watch it with joy. That’s what we do. Just once. It’s our present under the Xmas tree.”

Why not? All you have to do is forget the giant clue that’s clubbing you on the head:

The virus they’re going to stop causes nothing.

What are they counting on? They’re counting on you not being able to believe the virus causes nothing. They’re betting on that.

They’re betting you’re in the trance they created.

    Actually, I wish that they would worry as much about dengue and chikungunya (spread by the same type of mosquito). Dengue does kill people, and chikungunya has recurrences that can be excruciatingly painful (a friend is getting steroid shots every four weeks to combat the pain and preserve her ability to function). But no, it takes babies with malformed skulls to get people mobilized on fighting the viruses spread by this mosquito, even if the microcephaly is actually caused by vaccines during pregnancy, or overuse of toxic pesticides, or, God forbid, the last round of GM mosquitoes!

  2. I go right out and say it, Jon, giving you lots of plugs on the way, of course, that:

    The Zika virus (as presented) and GMO mosquitos are absolute DUDS, no questions about it.

    https://ozziethinker.wordpress.com/2016/02/09/gmos-viruses-vaccines-and-military-industrial-sabbotage/

    We have the mainstream pushing the silly “viral cause” idea and the alternatives focused on pizzazz – Bill Gates GMO mosquitos >>> “horror in a bottle”. Where’s the Haitian Zombie cannibals?

    If understand this entry correctly, the mainstream and alternative have “converged”….

    GOD HELP SANITY!

    I recently got through one of Miles Mathis’ papers in which he describes how even “geniuses” like Einstein and Newton or mathematical geniuses like Maxwell and Leibniz didn’t understand calculus. He explained that the straight A geeks we all knew in high school were no more than “genius” information retentors. But that’s enough to fool themselves and the rest of us that they’ve got their shit together and can ‘splain’ things to the rest of us. I don’t believe the situation is any diffferent in the biomedical field, to wit that these MIT geeks are now arrogantly dictating what is best for us. One of these illustrious high IQ idiots made a comment below the MIT article: “To combat future diseases there will have to be legislation curbing extremists of environmentalism and conservationism.” For crying out loud, where and when to these arrogant bastards get off?

  6. Cat Pillar says:

    Why would they invent a microcephaly-zika mosquito to play their gene editing games when they already have a bona fida malaria mosquito to play with?

    PS. This whole zika affair is nicely timed for the Olympics – seeing Brazil was inconsiderate enough to get their stadia built on time.

    I find it interesting that the media hasn’t remarked on the self-imposed geographical limitations of this virus…. In Brazil, zika is associated with micocephaly; in Colombia, it’s associated with Guillain-Barré; and in the rest of the world, it’s less inconvenient than the common cold.

  7. Diana says:

    Reseach paper (they say the first one ) doing the link of zika virus and microcephaly published…

  8. ginsbiz1 says:

    It’s more likely that the cause of the microcephaly is caused by the mosquito spray (made byMONSANTO) sprayed on the drinking water in Brazil.
