Adding to the already-sequenced genomes of humans, chimpanzees and orangutans, researchers have completed the set of the great apes by sequencing the genes of a western lowland gorilla.

The complete genome comes from a female western lowland gorilla named Kamilah, who was born in captivity and now lives at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The researchers also sequenced parts of the genomes for two other western lowland gorillas and one eastern lowland gorilla. The results reveal more than ever about how the evolutionary tree connecting humans, chimps and gorillas was shaped.

“The gorilla genome is particularly important for our understanding of human evolution, because it tells us about this crucial time when we were diverging from our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees,” study researcher Aylwyn Scally of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute said in a press conference about the findings  …

The results show that humans are closer to gorillas than we’d realized. The human-chimp part of the great ape lineage split off from the gorilla line about 10 million years ago, study leader Richard Durbin, also of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, told reporters. Humans and chimps then diverged from each other about 6 million years ago. Evolutionarily speaking, that’s fast.

“The interesting consequence of that is actually that the pattern of ancestry across the three genomes changes from position to position [in the genome],” Scally said. “So although most of the human genome is indeed closest to the chimpanzee genome on average, a sizeable minority, 15 percent, is in fact closer to the gorilla, and another 15 percent is where gorilla and chimpanzee are closer.”  …

In fact, the new data confirms that humans and gorillas are about 98 percent identical on a genetic level, said Wellcome Trust researcher and study co-author Chris Tyler-Smith.

But the differences are illuminating. For example, the researchers found that certain genes involved in sperm formation have become inactive or have been reduced in the gorilla genome compared with the human genome. That may be because gorillas live in harems with one male to many females, Tyler-Smith said, so there is little competition between different males’ sperm.

The researchers also found rapid evolution in a single gorilla gene called EVPL, which contributes to keratin formation on the skin. Keratin is the tough protein found in hair and nails. For gorillas, the activity of this gene may be related to the tough knuckle pads that enable gorillas to walk on their fists.

Another interesting nugget of information in the gorilla genome had to do with a passel of genes related to hearing. Researchers already knew that humans had accelerated activity in these genes, meaning evolution was acting on them and suggesting some adaptive benefit to the resulting genetic changes. Now, researchers can see that this accelerated activity stretches back into the gorilla years, too.

“The implication of that is this is not because of human language ability,” Tyler-Smith said. “It must be for some broader role.”

Finally, the researchers found certain genes shared by gorillas and humans that cause disease in our species, but not in our ape cousins. One of these variants is linked to dementia in humans, and another to heart disease.

“If we could understand more about why those variants are so harmful in humans but not in gorillas, that would have important useful medical implications,” Tyler-Smith said. …

It has been a truly rough week for Monsanto. After being slammed with a lawsuit by concerned farmers over theirGMO crops and thrown out by China, now the corrupt juggernaut is being thrown out of the United Kingdom. In an unprecedented announcement, Monsanto announced amajor departure from the UK due to “intense opposition” to genetically modified foods from activists.

As a result, the company is now closing its genetically modified wheat growing operation based in Cambridge. Monsanto officials even went on record stating that the move was a result of opposition against their own ‘Frankenstein Foods’.

Furthermore, the company is even looking to liquidate their GMO crop facilities based in Germany, France, and the Czech Republic. Monsanto is making a run for it, and food good reason. Nations have been openly voicing their opposition against the biotech mammoth, with officials and individuals nationwide taking a stand. France is one of many nations to call out Monsanto’s crimes, citing health concernsamong the many reasons to reject Monsanto’s GMO crops.

Next week, the Senate could be meeting to vote on the Protect IP Act (PIPA), the bill that many people are warning could damage the Internet. It’s a horrible prospect — but this isn’t the first time that Congress has tried to sacrifice a technology at the behest of corporate lobbyists.

Here are 10 other technologies that Congress tried, at one time or another, to legislate out of existence.

1. Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs)

Who Wanted it Killed: The movie studios, mainly. The MPAA’s Jack Valenti famouslytestified before Congress that “the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone.”
How it Worked Out: No fewer than six bills were introduced in Congress to control the VCR. The MPAA finally dropped its demands that VCRs be outlawed, but instead supported bills that would require licensing of VCRs, royalties on the sale of blank videocassettes, and a copyright owner’s permission before renting out video tapes. In the end, Congress decided to wait and see what the Supreme Court decided in the famous Sony Vs. Universal case. And then, in 2002, the Digital Millennium Copyright Actrequired all VCRs to include “automatic gain control,” thus making Macrovision copy protection an integral part of all VCRs.

2. The Phonograph

Who Wanted it Killed: John Philip Sousa, the guy who wrote “Stars and Stripes Forever.” He testified before Congress that both the gramophone and the player piano would put musicians out of business. And that they would stifle composers from writing new music by removing “all incentive to further creative work.” In marathon hearings, Sousa and the American Copyright League argued in favor of a bill which would have given copyright owners control over all sales (including resale) of their work.
How it Worked Out: In the end, Congress passed a milder bill, which simply assured musicicans and composers royalties from recordings. Sousa was satisfied, and in 1923, he told Thomas Edison, “You have made the art of the musician immortal, Mr. Edison.”

3. Genetically modified food

Who Wanted it Killed: Environmentalists and food safety advocates. Congress has tried many times over the years to regulate or ban certain types of genetically modified foods, and manybills have been introduced over the years. Most recently, as the Food and Drug Administration has been deciding whether to allow the sale of AquaBounty Technologies’ genetically modified salmon in the U.S., the House of Representativesvoted to block FDA approval of the “AquAdvantage” salmon.
How it Worked Out: In general, U.S. laws remain laxer than those in most other countries. Regarding the salmon issue, it doesn’t look as though the House provision has passed the Senate, or gotten President Obama’s signature. Meanwhile, the FDA still hasn’t made a decision about the “franken-salmon.”

4. Internet gambling

Who Wanted it Killed: The Feds themselves. The Justice Department was very alarmed by the rise of online gambling, especially as run by offshore operators, and concerned that this gambling could serve as a cover for money-laundering.
How it Worked Out: Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, which didn’t outlaw online gambling, but did bar U.S. banks and credit card companies from processing payments to gambling sites. Since then, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) has been trying to restore the legality of online gambling, arguing that we could tax it and generate a lot of revenue, at a time when budgets are under strain.

5. The Whizzinator

Who Wanted it Killed: Pretty much everybody. After Minnesota Vikings running back Onterrio Smith was caught at an airport with one of these devices, which is basically a fake penis that allows you to fool drug urine tests, Congressheld hearings on May 17, 2005. Rep. Bart Stupakheld up Whizzinator advertising and spoke against the national scandal of simulated urination. “How will we stop the flow?” demanded Stupak, as the room exploded in unintended giggles.
How it Worked Out: There was no Federal law against manufacturing such devices, so states were powerless to go after the makers. In the end, the feds never managed to pass an anti-Whizzinator law, but federal prosecutors were able to go after the manufacturers for selling drug paraphernalia.

6. Mp3 players

Who Wanted it Killed: Actually, this is more like a random casualty of a reckless shooter. Congress has tried to pass a few laws to protect copyright owners in the past, which were so broadly written that they would have banned a wide range of technologies, including mp3 players. There was the Induce Act, which would have banned any technology that induces people to violate copyright. Earlier, there was the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act, which banned any devices that could be used to read digital content that didn’t have Digital Rights Management (DRM) built in.
How it Worked Out: So far, none of these bills has passed, so your iPod is safe.

7. Margarine

Who Wanted it Killed: The dairy farmers. Margarine was introduced in 1874, after a French chemist named Hippolyte Mège-Mouriès figured out a way to make a cheap butter substitute from beef fat. The dairy industry freaked out, because the much cheaper margarine threatened to drive smaller dairies out of business. They tried passing various state laws, but some of those were shot down in court.
How it Worked Out: The dairy farmers went to Congress, and there were hearings that culminated in the Margarine Act of 1886, which imposed a tax of two cents per pound on margarine — although the original bill called for a ten cent tax instead. This was followed by the Margarine Act of 1906, in which the federal government raised that tax for margarine that was dyed yellow to look like real butter. (Some state laws required margarine to be dyed weird colors, like pink or black.) The state and federal anti-margarine laws were on the books for decades. (For more about the margarine saga, clickhere or here.)

8. Embryonic stem cells

Who Wanted it Killed: Pro-life advocates, mainly. In 1996, Congress passed the Dickey-Wicker amendment, which bans any federal research in which human embryos are created, destroyed or put at risk of harm. This law, which remains on the books, essentially prevented most embryonic stem cell research.
How it Worked Out: In 2001, then-President George W. Bush announced a new policy in which 61 cell lines of existing embryonic stem cells would be allowed for federally-funded research. Congress tried to pass a bill expanding this policy, but Bush vetoed it. Since then, President Obama has tried to abolish the Bush policy, but Obama’s executive order has been tied up in federal courts. (In a related issue, Congress has repeatedly voted to ban human cloning.)

9. DAT (Digital Audio Tape) recorders

Who Wanted it Killed: The music industry, yet again. Congress held hearings throughout the late 1980s over whether to stop this digital technology from coming to consumers. Music industry lobbyists demanded that DAT players be fitted with technology that would degrade the sound quality of any music copied on them, or that sales of DAT tapes include a royalty payment to the music industry.
How it Worked Out: As Stanford’s Mark Lemley puts it, “Digital audio tapes were then subject to a compulsory licensing scheme and were never heard from again by mass-market consumers. The technology flopped once it was put under the control of the content industry.”

10. Assault weapons

Who Wanted it Killed: Gun control advocates. The ban on semi-automatic weapons in 1994 was a major achievement of the Clinton Administration’s first two years — and probably a huge reason why the Democrats lost control over both houses of Congress that year.
How it Worked Out: The federal assault weapons ban was scheduled to sunset after ten years, and it did. The ban expired in 2004, and attempts to renew it were unsuccessful. Image via 2DayBlog.

Nightmarish ‘supersoldier’ ants with huge heads and jaws have been created by activating ancient genes.

Scientists believe the monster ants may be a genetic throwback to an ancestor that lived millions of years ago.

Scientists say they can create the supersoldiers at will by dabbing normal ant larvae with a special hormone – the larvae then develop into supersoldiers rather than normal soldier or worker ants.

Supersoldier ants can occur naturally in the wild, but only rarely. In the deserts of America and Mexico, their job is to protect the colony from raids by invading army ants.

The supersoldiers use their enormous heads to block the nest entrance and attack any enemy ants that get too close.

Scientists showed that ordinary ants of the species Pheidole morrisi contain all the genetic ‘tools’ needed to turn them into supersoldiers – they just need a hormonal push.

The research is reported today in the journal Science.

Authors Dr Rajendhran Rajakumar, from McGill University, Canada, and colleagues wrote: ‘We uncovered an ancestral development potential to produce a novel supersoldier subcaste that has been retained throughout a hyperdiverse ant genus that evolved 35 to 60 million years ago.’

The results suggest that holding on to ancestral development toolkits may play an important role in evolving new physical traits, say the researchers.

US researchers have created silkworms that are genetically modified to spin much stronger silk.

Writing in the PNAS journal, scientists from the University of Wyoming say that their eventual aim is to produce silk from worms that has the toughness of spider silk.

In weight-for-weight terms, spider silk is stronger than steel.

Comic book hero Spider-Man generated spider silk to snare bad guys and swing among the city’s skyscrapers.

Researchers have been trying to reproduce such silk for decades.

But it is unfeasible to “farm” spiders for the commercial production of their silk because the arachnids don’t produce enough of it – coupled with their proclivity for eating each other.

Silk worms, however, are easy to farm and produce vast amounts of silk – but the material is fragile.

Researchers have tried for years to get the best of both worlds – super-strong silk in industrial quantities – by transplanting genes from spiders into worms. But the resulting genetically modified worms have not produced enough spider silk until now.

GM worms produced by a team led by Professor Don Jarvis of Wyoming University seem to be producing a composite of worm and spider silk in large amounts – which the researchers say is just as tough as spider silk.

Commenting on the work, Dr Christopher Holland from the University of Oxford, said that the development represented a step toward being able to produce toughened silk commercially.

“Essentially, what this paper has shown is that they are able to take a component of spider silk and make a silkworm spin it into a fibre alongside its own silk,” he said.

Crazed scientists all over the globe are “playing god” with the very building blocks of life.  Today, thanks to extraordinary advances in the field of genetic modification, scientists are now able to do things that were once unthinkable.  Part human/part animal hybrid monsters are being created by scientists all over the planet and it is all perfectly legal.  Scientists justify mixing the DNA of humans and animals by claiming that it will help them “cure diseases” and “feed the world”, but the reality is that all of this genetic modification is a tremendous threat to the human race.  It is only a matter of time before humans start allowing themselves to be genetically-modified in order to “fight illness” or to “enhance” their abilities.  The temptation to insert the genes of animals or plants into people in order to create “super soldiers” or a “superior race” will certainly prove to be much too tempting.  Unless something is done to hold all of this back, it seems almost certain that genetic hell will be unleashed on the human race.  Once genetically-modified humans start breeding with normal humans there will be no putting the genie back into the bottle.  Eventually, we could get to the point where there are very few “100% humans” left.

Most Americans have heard about genetic modification, but most of them don’t know a whole lot about it.

South Korean scientists said on Wednesday they have created a glowing dog using a cloning technique that could help find cures for human diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, Yonhap news agency reported.

A research team from Seoul National University (SNU) said the genetically modified female beagle, named Tegon and born in 2009, has been found to glow fluorescent green under ultraviolet light if given a doxycycline antibiotic, the report said.

The researchers, who completed a two-year test, said the ability to glow can be turned on or off by adding a drug to the dog’s food.

As if it’s not enough for the TSA to feel you up at the airport, now they’re experimenting with rapid results DNA scanners that can scan and analyze your DNA using just a drop of saliva. Spit at the TSA agent who is molesting you, in other words, and they can use that saliva to scan your DNA and then store it in a government database.

Why would they want to do that? We can only imagine. Remember, it wasAlex Joneswho broke the story about hospitals secretly takingbloodsamples of babies and handing them over to the federalgovernmentfor use in a nationalgenetic database(http://www.prisonplanet.com/newborn…).

The government routinely steals genetic material from people for its own nefarious purposes, as does thepharmaceutical industry. For example, the medical industry’s so-called “Hela cells” which have been exploited for decades byvaccineand drug companies, were harvested and stolen decades ago from Henrietta Lacks without her permission or consent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa). Hela cells are the foundation of hundreds of billions of dollars in profit for Big Pharma, and they are all based onDNAtheftperpetrated by the pharmaceuticalindustry.

Harvesting your DNA at the airport

Now thatthe TSAis experimenting with portable DNA scanners, their real agenda becomes apparent: They will use airportsecuritycheckpointsto harvest DNA from the publicin order to build up their government “bio bank” database of stolen DNA.

Of course, they will assure the public that they aren’t storing the DNA information …and the naked body scanners don’t store images, either. Oh yeah, and the TSA’s security procedures makeair travelsafer, too, if you can believe that.

Our source for this story is a report called “Genetic Patdown” published at TheDaily.com (http://www.thedaily.com/page/2011/0…). That story reveals that a company calledNetBiomanufactures the portable DNA scanning devices.

That same story also reveals that theTSArolled out these DNA screening deviceswithout even checking with theprivacycommittee of the DHS. Jim Harper, who serves on that committee, is even quoted in the story saying, “We’re plunging into the unknown here.”

But we aren’t actually. It’s not unknown. History has seen this before. It’s calledNazi Germany. It’s called the “Police State” approach to security: Use thepowerof big government totarget the Peopleas if they were all criminals. Then force them at gunpoint to consent to illegal searches and violations of their privacy. Do it all under the name of “homeland security” — orHeimatschutzin German — and keep theAmerican peopleafraid by terrorizing them with occasional scary-sounding security alerts based on stagedterrorismevents that are often planned, organized and carried out bythe FBI!

The recent Portland “terrorism”event, for example, was actually carried out by the FBI itself which recruited and then entrapped an innocent man with a Muslin name (http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2…).

The government agents that carry out these kind of evil schemes — “Verfassungsschützer” — are the modern-day equivalent ofHitler’s secret police. You don’t think the name “Homeland Security” was chosen by mere coincidence, do you? (http://www.slate.com/id/2066978/)

“Mass casualty events”

TheHomeland Security Newswirepublication reveals that, in 2009, DHS awarded grant money (i.e. taxpayer dollars) to a Virginia firm to develop a portable DNA testing device.

A DHS spokesperson named Christopher Miles revealed the purpose of the device, explaining it had applications in “…mass-casualty situations, reunification offamilymembers following mass evacuations, identification of missing persons, rapid processing of crime-scene and suspect DNA, and various scientific and educational uses…”

Interesting, isn’t it? Back in 2009, they never mentioned “screening the DNA of air travelers at airports.” But today, barely two years later, suddenly it’s no longer for “reunification of family members” but rather the harvesting of DNA from air passengers –almost certainly without their consent!

After all, since when did the TSA ever ask for your permission to do anything?

And what’s the limit for all these privacy invading searchers, anyway? Where does it end? Can the TSA demandyour blood, yoursaliva, or even your sperm for its tests? Is it soon going to be a condition of flying that youhand over your bodily fluids to the U.S. governmentso they can determine whether you might be a “genetic terrorist?”

GATTACA

Hitlerwould have loved the DNA scanners for hiseugenicsprograms, of course. It would have provided a simple, “scientific” way to determine who was of Jewish descent and therefore who got loaded up and sent away on the rail cars. Fortunately for the world, Hitler didn’t have the technology to conductDNA searchesof people. But Janet Napolitano does! And she’s already proved that she will go to great lengths tospy on the American people(“if you see something, say something”).

I’ll tell you where this is all probably headed, if you’re interested to know. Before too much longer, we’re going to see calls forglobalpopulationcontrolsthat deny reproduction “rights” to those who don’t fit the genetic profiles preferred by world governments.Genetic screening will be used to identify and then sterilizeboth men and women who don’t fit the correct “genetic profile.” These sterilizations will be delivered asvaccine shots– a move that has already been perfectly described by Bill Gates himself, who says that vaccines are the key technology for “population control” and “reducing world population by 10 to 15 percent.” (http://www.naturalnews.com/029911_v…)

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in fact, has been hard at work onsterilizationtechnology called “temporary castration” that renders men infertile for six months at a time (http://www.naturalnews.com/028853_u…).

But who should you castrate? It’s tough to know. Unless, of course, you have DNA scanners set up at government-run security checkpoints! A “bad” DNA scans earns you a court-mandatedsterilization vaccination injectionright on the spot. Think that’s fiction? They’re already using similar tactics todraw blood from driversat DUI checkpoints.

This whole scenario with the DNA scanners and population control eugenics won’t happen right away, of course. It’s always step by step… ratcheting up the police state one degree at a time like boiling a live frog. With the recent passenger molestation searches introduced by the TSA, the government was trying to determine just how far they could go without people rioting in response. And it turns out that most people are so brainwashed, so devoid of critical thinking skills, and so ignorant of their own rights and powers that they will do practically anything the government tells them to do. So don’t be surprised if coming soon is the government’s forced extraction of bodily fluids for DNA scanning.

I suppose the TSA can pull this off while they’re reaching down your pants, too, eh?

To those of you who have no idea what eugenics are, you have a lot of homework to do, just sayin’. For the record, it is much more than the name of a fictitious war that gave birth to the warrior Khan Noonien Singh, referenced in the greatest of all ‘Star Trek’ episodes, “Space Seed”. It is also a lot more than just pure science fiction.

Eugenics has been a reality for at least a century. It became a really popular concept in the early decades of the 20th century and was highly publicized and supported by many high profile people in the public and in politics. That is of course before the cat was out of the bag and the essence of eugenics’ evil was exposed.

Wikipedia defines ‘eugenics’ as:

..”the study of, or belief in, the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics).”

Aww.. that sounds pretty fucking nice and wholesome. I guess that is why eugenics was the foundation of Hitler’s social philosophy. Because we all know that the Nazis were nice people and all they wanted was for all of us to be healthy white-skinned, blonde-haired and blue-eyed obedient robots just like them.

So let’s see what Wikipedia defines ‘transhumanism’ as:

..an international intellectual and cultural movement supporting the use of science and technology to improve human mental and physical characteristics and capacities. The movement regards aspects of the human condition, such as disability, suffering, disease, aging, and involuntary death as unnecessary and undesirable. Transhumanists look to biotechnologies and other emerging technologies for these purposes. Dangers, as well as benefits, are also of concern to the transhumanist movement.

Yeah, still sounds like Nazi propaganda to me, just covered in flowers and sprinkles. Hitler hated the handicapped, the elderly and the diseased. To cleanse the Aryan nation, he tortured the weak to death. Thus, keeping them the hell out of the gene pool.

Wikipedia, in regards to the official symbol of transhumanism, also states:

The term “transhumanism” is symbolized by  ’H+’ or ‘h+’ and is often used as a synonym for “human enhancement“.

Transhumanism is often times referred to as post-humanism, as those who practice and believe in this science, predict that “..human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label “post-human”.”

Now if you cannot see the parallels between eugenics and transhumanism, then turn back now. Transhumanism IS eugenics, just renamed, rebranded and heavily marketed as something noble and just. Essentially, it is just a way for the elite to wipe out the weak or to control the “evolution” of the human being. This is pretty heavy stuff for the faint of heart and the ostrich but, as history has shown, eugenics has been in play for at least a hundred years.

Eugenics, as has been mentioned, was used by the Nazis in order to manufacture a “master race”. It has been used by our own government on several occasions. It has even been used by Planned Parenthood, originally known as the American Birth Control League, in the efforts of its founder, Margaret Sanger, to wipe out the rapidly growing ethnic populations in America. There are countless articles and documentaries on Sanger and her practices of manipulating mass genetics as well as our government’s involvement in it all. Blacks were the target of many eugenics related experiments.

There is plenty of evidence that eugenics still exists today under the banner of “transhumanism”. Hell, the founder of transhumanism has publicly stated that it is eugenics. Aldous Huxley, with his stellar novel “Brave New World” pretty much predicted where eugenics would bring us and we may be very close to that reality with this modern version of the science.

Now, through the Transhumanist Movement, technology is being implemented into eugenics. The leaders at the transhumanist conferences have been pushing for chips and other technologies to be implemented into the human body. They use safety and scare tactics as a way to coerce parents into believing that their children need chips inside them. “What if your child is kidnapped? With this chip we can locate them via GPS.” In essence, they want us to be trackable and quite obviously controllable. Who’s to say that those chips can’t turn you off or make your head explode. I know that seems insane and tinfoil hat-esque but think about it. Do you want your kids to be like the fucking Borg?

Making us into cyborgs is not their only plan. Lots of documentation has come out that the elite and the transhumanists are trying to make humans sterile. The preservatives in the food that we eat are fucking us up immensely. Even if you cut out all the crap and try to kick it old school and have your own garden, lots of places have regulations on which kind of soil and seeds you can have and the monopoly that is Monsanto has been forcing people to use their special blends of genetically engineered crap. In fact, Monsanto’s products have been found in the gardens and farms of people who have refused their products and services. In a blatant show of tyranny, Monsanto has even sued these people into poverty and thus, taken over their land. All this stuff is wide out in the open, all one has to do is a Google search. Monsanto has been involved in several transhumanist experiments.

The shitty fucked up food that we eat, has effected us tremendously. Our nation is now fatter than ever and people blame that on America as a whole making really bad choices on the menu. However, contrary to that pseudo-fact, Americans actually eat healthier now than they ever have. Yet, our waistlines keep expanding and our health keeps deteriorating. No major news outlets report on the facts and people just logically fill in the blanks with what they think they understand to be truth. People fat, fatty foods, ding ding! Truth is, we don’t know what the fuck we’re eating, even if we grow it ourselves in certain areas.

Not only has the food effected our weight but it has effected our brains. The fatter and more unhealthy one gets, the worse their brain becomes. I think I’m a fairly smart guy but my brain isn’t as sharp as it was ten years ago (and many many pounds ago). I always feel a bit off, even when I’m going through healthier phases where I eat really well and work out daily. A lot of other people I know, even health freaks, have noticed this in themselves. Fat effects the brain but something else is as well. This may all seem like crazy speculation and connecting the dots to nothing but there is something strange brewing within our bodies.

Another thing that comes to mind is this scare about the Swine Flu. The government controlled media blew the whole thing out of proportion and scared the living crap out of most numb-skulled Americans to the point that many rushed out to get vaccinated, just to be “safe”. In the end, the flu wasn’t shit but millions had some strange juice injected into their arms. Most people however, didn’t really take the bait and most of the syringes were destroyed, a wonderful waste of taxpayers’ money. The issue is, is that there is a lot of press now talking about vaccinations all over the word that are creating major health issues. Why is this a big thing all of a sudden? What the fuck is going on with these vaccines? All I’m saying, is really read up on them before you get your child or yourself stuck with a needle. I’m not trying to create hysteria, I’m just telling you to use your judgment and to research your specific situation. In most cases, vaccinations are a good thing but in many cases, there is evidence to the contrary.

I wonder how many vaccines they will push on the people when there is a “pandemic” or a “plague” of some sort. Is that a prediction? Perhaps.

Now when looking for evidence of eugenics or transhumanism in action, look no further than China where the government has completely destroyed their social structure and created a society where males outnumber females three-to-one. The Chinese claim that this is to end over-population. Well, that fits well within the elite’s plan. China’s One Child Policy is something that could be implemented by other governments in the world. The Policy has in turn helped China’s attempt at depopulation even further by making the ratio of men to women so vast. There will be less women to have children and with the law in place, the effects of it will magnify generation after generation. Maybe China won’t become a powerhouse and number one in the world. Maybe we just have to wait it out. How can they get so many cheap laborers if they aren’t being born? However, let me get back on topic.

All of these behind the scenes things are going down. Then again, they aren’t behind the scenes. All this shit is wide out in the open and you can see it for yourself as long as you fucking pay attention and have the foresight to see the trends and the ability to connect the proverbial dots. However, football season just started so the masses are distracted and the new Fall Season is promising us some really good new shows. Maybe I am jumping the gun here but what form of technology exists for the eugenecists/transhumanists to use, to distract the masses, that is better than television?

Unplug the TV and read. Learn something new everyday. Challenge yourself. Don’t have them bring you your information or lack thereof. Go out and obtain the information yourself. There is a massive eugenics/transhumanist movement that is alive and well today. Look, one transhumanism conference even has a Facebook page. That conference is in Milan next month, there might be time for you to register. It’s just time to wake up, be aware and un-indoctrinate yourself with that negative stigma you may have attached to conspiracy theories. Granted, many are looney and ridiculous but some are packed full of the scary truth.
