—Freedom includes the natural right to resist and reject any technology that endangers life.

A passionate and dedicated scientist says, “I have a plan. By manipulating genes, we can make invasive rodents extinct, on an island where humans are living.”

In the next fraction of a second, a flurry of questions pops up and jumps up.

The overarching question is:

Does this mean genetic manipulation can make ANY species extinct?

Welcome to the world of gene drive technology.

Here is a passage from Gene Drive Files, a vital site with an enormous amount of referenced information on the subject:

“Gene drives are a gene-editing application that allows genetic engineers to drive a single artificial trait through an entire population by ensuring that all of an organism’s offspring carry that trait. For example, recent experiments are fitting mice with ‘daughterless’ gene drives that will cascade through mouse populations so that only male pups are born, ensuring that the population becomes extinct after a few generations.”

“Proponents have framed gene drives as a breakthrough tool for eradicating pests or invasive species. However, the Gene Drive Files reveal that these ‘conservation’ efforts are primarily supported by military funds.”

So it appears the answer is yes. Gene drive technology could be deployed to wipe out troublesome plant-parasites, weeds, crops, animal pests, animals, and…humans. Mull that over with your morning coffee.

Several years ago, the UN was considering a recommendation to call a moratorium on the use of gene drives. Here is what the Gene Drive Files reports about that tussle and the appearance of Bill Gates on the scene:

“Documents received under Freedom of Information requests reveal that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation paid a private agriculture and biotechnology PR firm $1.6 million for activities on Gene Drives. This included running a covert ‘advocacy coalition’ which appears to have intended to skew the only UN expert process addressing gene drives…”

“Following global calls in December 2016 from Southern countries and over 170 organizations for a UN moratorium on gene drives, emails to gene drive advocates received under a freedom of Information request by Prickly Research reveal that a private public affairs firm ‘Emerging Ag’ received funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to co-ordinate the ‘fight back against gene drive moratorium proponents’.”

There’s more from the Gene Drive Files. It involves the military:

“A trove of emails (The Gene Drive Files) from leading U.S. gene drive researchers reveals that the U.S. Military is taking the lead in driving forward gene drive development.”

“Emails obtained through a freedom of Information request by U.S.–based Prickly Research reveal that the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has given approximately $100 million for gene drive research, $35 million more than previously reported, making them likely the largest single funder of gene drive research on the planet. The emails also reveal that DARPA either funds or co-ordinates with almost all major players working on gene drive development as well as the key holders of patents on CRISPR gene editing technology.”

“These funds go beyond the US; DARPA is now also directly funding gene drive researchers in Australia (including monies given to an Australian government agency, CSIRO) and researchers in the UK. The files also reveal an extremely high level of interest and activity by other sections of the U.S. military and Intelligence community.”

People will argue the military involvement is “defensive” in nature. The Pentagon must know what our enemies are doing in their gene drive research labs, so we can hopefully combat those efforts.

As we’ve seen in the past, such claims about US military research on nuclear weapons and bio/chemical warfare were proven false. The “defensive” research included the push to develop offensive capability.

Knowing how military planner think (and not just in the US), I’m sure their researchers are trying to figure out how to use gene drives to eliminate “just a select part” of the human population. Meaning the enemy. Which leads to the next point:

The what-could-possibly-go-wrong question. As I’ve shown in past articles, the latest and greatest gene editing tools (e.g., CRISPR), which are used for gene drives, are far from slam-dunk precise, despite official assurances.

For example, Nature Communications, May 31, 2017, “CRISPR/Cas9 targeting events cause complex deletions and insertions at 17 sites in the mouse genome.” Unintended genetic “deletions and insertions.”

And how about this study? It was published in Genome Biology on June 14, 2017, and is titled, “CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing induces exon skipping by alternative splicing or exon deletion.” An exon is “a segment of a DNA or RNA molecule containing information coding for a protein or peptide sequence.” So you can see that exon skipping or deletion is a very bad idea.

In other words, ANY gene editing done on ANY species opens the door wide to all sorts of errors and unforeseen consequences. Doomsday genetic warfare and mutually assured destruction are the far shore of insanity…but closer in, where the highly limited experiments are taking place, there is no safety zone, either. Insanity reigns there as well.

“I went to Monsanto, and I spent a lot of time with the scientists there, and I have revised my outlook, and I’m very excited about telling the world. When you’re in love, you want to tell the world.” (Bill Nye, the science guy)

“I know it’s a long shot and people would say it’s ‘too absurd’… but I’m doing this with hopes of making a Mickey Mouse some day.” (Arikuni Uchimura, quoted in “Japan bio-scientists produce ‘singing mouse'”, The Independent, 21 December 2010.)

“Genetic engineering is to traditional crossbreeding what the nuclear bomb was to the sword.” (Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of Center for Food Safety)

    What could possibly go wrong? Vonnegut’s “Cat’s Cradle” is a great read on that theme. A thermos containing an engineered form of ice that if released into an ocean or stream, would cause a chain reaction of freezing normal temperature water – irreversible. Or there was another story, can’t remember the author, about a virus that would cause concrete to crumble, and of course all the world’s infrastructure is endangered by it.

    How much of this is fear-mongering? Is it even possible to affect nature in that way?

    Bill Gate’s dream is to have a monopoly on this kind of super-power. So many Batman TV episodes featured villains with some kind of weapon threatening Gotham or the entire world. Is it all fantasy?

    Is there any limit to human stupidity?

    Why not fiddle with the Great Chain of Being? When a link is broken, everyone knows chains magically reunite, right?

    Who needs rodents? Who needs bugs?
    Who needs skeeters, ticks and slugs?
    Who needs fungi? Who needs weeds?
    We’ll soon find out if this succeeds.

    Jon, genetics drive racial conflicts, because GENETIC Tribes’ inequalities effect RACIAL inequalities/“injustices” (( in IQ and temperament and physicality )).

    Observe any basketball court or Mensa group—to see the above FACTUALISM about black and whites (( and Asians )), respectively, played out.

    Here’s what’s destroying the WHITE Christian West:

    White females – radical feminists – have emasculated
    their White males into a tragic state of inaction and fear.

    Here’s why the West is in decline:

    Feminists’/Marxists’ F O R C E D
    Integration of diverse tribes:

    There’s much to Learn about our time—from Aristotle:

    Aristotle, on race-mixing:

    “Another cause of revolution is
    difference of races which do not
    at once acquire a common spirit;
    for a state is not the growth of
    a day, any more than it grows out
    of a multitude brought together
    by accident. Hence the reception
    of strangers in colonies, either
    at the time of their foundation
    or afterwards, has generally
    produced revolution.”

    > on bad democracy:

    “[T]he last form of democracy . . .
    [in which] all share alike . . .
    [and] the leaders have been in the
    habit of including as many as they
    can, and making citizens not only
    of those who are legitimate, but
    even of the illegitimate . . . This
    is the way in which demagogues
    proceed. Whereas the right thing
    would be to make no more additions
    when the numbers of the commonality
    exceeds that of the notables and of
    the middle class,–beyond this not
    to go . . . [these] measures taken
    by tyrants appear all of them to be
    democratic. Such a government will
    have many supporters, for most
    persons would rather live in a
    disorderly than in a sober manner.”

    > on how to install bad democracy:

    “Fresh tribes and brotherhoods should
    be established; the private rites of
    families should be restricted and
    converted into public ones; in short,
    every contrivance should be adopted
    which will mingle the citizens with
    one another and get rid of old
    connections.”

    In fact, in his POLITICS, Aristotle
    lists 7 or so societies which had
    turned to bloody revolution because
    of incoming tribes.

    He’s a very tough read, because of his
    long paragraphs, packing them tightly
    with sound logic, using extrapolation
    to draw accurate conclusions.

      Madness, hopefully many watching the series come away with a strong resolve to resist contact tracing which is key to creating an Orwellian Technocracy surveillance society. This type of system can go on to demand ANYTHING or else proles can be cut off from society or placed in a quarantine facility and later a Uighur style ‘re-education camp’.

      Have to say I’m a bit disappointed that several of the medical freedom / vaccine choice advocates such as Bigtree are focused like lasers on whether a covid19 vaccine is viable or not and don’t emphasize the importance of resisting contact tracing. (Is there a reason Drs. Hotez and Offit are saying it’s unlikely a safe vaccine will available in the near future?) Bigtree even interviewed a neuroscientist, on today’s program, who likes the idea of contact tracing ‘to protect the vulnerable’. On the Highwire last month, Dr. Zach Bush expressed his opinion that the [dirty] human population spewing fossil fuels and glyphosate is what drove coronavirus to mutate into a deadly pathogen (= a cross between Club of Rome and Godzilla memes). Those sentiments are misleading, imho.

      I recommend a recent Solari Report on youtube where Catherine Austin Fitts and Mary Holland discuss various concerns including the situation of the-powers-that-be possibly replacing the police with contact tracers, mental health monitors, and public private partnership social service enforcers (e.g. Dyncorp).

      Special Solari Report: Contact Tracing & the HEROES Act – with Mary Holland: youtube.com/watch?v=GTYl_dmX_Kw

      Forced vaccines are a nightmare and I absolutely agree it’s a project related to depopulation and transhumanism. However, controlling humanity comes first with contract tracing, limiting our movements and punishing us for general non compliance.

    Yup, cats out of the bag

    May 1, 2020, the company Oxitec received an experimental use permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to release millions of GM mosquitoes (labeled by Oxitec as OX5034) every week over the next two years in Florida and Texas. Females of this mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, transmit dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika viruses. When these lab-bred GM males are released and mate with wild females, their female offspring die. Continual, large-scale releases of these OX5034 GM males should eventually cause the temporary collapse of a wild population. Oxitec received 7 million in funding from the Gates Foundation in 2018

    Starting up in Florida this month

      In China in the 50’s the central planners ordered everyone to go out and shoot the birds that were damaging the crops in the new “communal” farms. I think that caused the greatest famine in history? When everyone does the same thing at the same time – the risk is always there that everyone will die.

    Until you don’t master it, it should be forbidden for military and commercial purposes.
    You should also ban every blurry PR interest attempts.
    You should come back to strict scientific regulation and interest disclosure and regulate interest research.
    You should also internationally (globally) try to come up with your “enemies” on condemnation of unethical research and come up with an agreement with your enemy about prohibition of military/intelligence genomic research.
    Not for idealistic but prosperity reasons.

    I think it’s possible and done with an executive order signature.
    The enemy initiative does not hinder but enables your survival in the next 20-30 years. A great investment opportunity for your Commander.

    I think in this one the Chinese have better cards.
    And you don’t wanna wake up ending up with no way out with with US newborns with frog legs.

    Dry out the swamp.

    WELCOME, BRAVE NEW WORLD:

    ● Invasive technologies using biotic or abiotic inputs that fix internal body issues or which monitor functions of vital organs are here to stay just as transplants, gene therapy, stem cell methods, transfusions and surgeries are well established invasive medical techniques.

    ● If these intrabody bots enhance life and wellness, they’re welcome.

    ● Had we remained stuck on the level of prayers and potions to address health issues with the former a placebo and the latter limited, humans would’ve been ravaged by diseases and short life expectancy and without DNA sequencing we’d know nothing at all about the bio-software sculpting and programming our body parts and guiding body operations.

    ● I’m more concerned about the fast approaching Globalist scripted World War 3, imminent economic collapse, worldwide famine and the draconian North Korea model of the New World Order post 2030 when the genocide of around 80% of the world’s population would be completed.

    ● I’ve always known about the plans for the NWO due to my close ties with certain Israeli/Zionist lobbies (temporary wings created by the Globalists to achieve strategic aims) who’d give me advance information about the false flag or psy-op nature of several well publicised international events intended to further mislead and dumb down the sheeple (lay Jews included).

    ● In fact, we Jews, despite public opinion to the contrary, have it the worst and serve as typical fall guys or scapegoats who are praised, appointed to key lackey positions and ruthlessly crushed for strategic purposes as events including the Holocaust and a flare up of antisemtism indicate.

    ● The Globalists are not pro-Israel nor pro-Jewish even though a few of the leading Globalists like the Rothschilds and Astors are of Jewish ancestry with the overwhelming Globalist lineages being Gentile (Non-Jewish). I’m putting this down here because most people habitually blame Jews or Israel for all the evils in the world failing to realise that Jews and Israel are convenient scapegoats and at the receiving end and next on the agenda of the Globalists is the total ruination of Globalist psy-op Israel in the coming major regional war in the Middle East with the entire region set to be wiped out. From the horse’s mouth. Wait and watch.
