There are any number of things which can lead to the end of humanity … or, indeed, the end of all life. Let me suggest what might arguably be number one on the list; fucking around with human DNA. You’re venturing into “God Territory” here … and that never ends well for mere mortals.

The extinction of species, Bill Gates, and the US military
by Jon Rappoport
There is a technology called gene drives.
It asks the question: what species should we make extinct today?
Why are Bill Gates and the US military involved in forwarding that technology?
A gene-drive scientist might say, “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.
The overarching question is: Does this mean genetic manipulation can make ANY species extinct?
Here is a passage from Gene Drive Files, a site with a 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.”
Gene drive technology could be deployed to wipe out troublesome plant-parasites, weeds, crops, animal pests, animals, and…what about humans? Mull that over with your morning coffee.
Several years ago, UN member nations were considering a recommendation to call a moratorium on the use of gene drives. However, Bill Gates showed up to try to squash the moratorium.
The Gene Drive Files reports: “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.”
For the moment, put aside the notion of intentional extinction of species. Consider unintended consequences.
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, this study: Genome Biology, July14, 2017, 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 outcome.
ANY gene editing done on ANY species opens the door wide to all sorts of errors and unforeseen consequences.
As for intentional destruction, we have this: 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.”
“…a gene drive [gene editing] can…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.”
Bill Gates favors this technology. So shouldn’t we? After all, Bill is the number one humanitarian on the planet, right?
Right?
No?
Oops.

THE END
How about a gene drive to eliminate assholes?
Everyone would explode!
.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Looks like Tom Brady in a dress
“men”
… and some want to light the fires … folks like Gates and many of the rest of the Davos/WEF crowd …

Don’t forget air, water and food is most likely tainted with some form of this crap.
It’s so hard to keep up with all the sh1t that’s going sideways these days. This is just another brick in the wall.
From Barry McGuire
“And you tell me over and over and over again my friend, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of Destruction.”
It’s akin to your next door neighbor building a nuclear reactor in his garage ,only worse. He doesn’t know anything about nuclear reactor’s but he did stay in a Holiday Inn. Should you try to stop him?
Interesting article Stucky, I watched a short documentary the other day about China and it seems there are now more male births than female there. That never happened before, there have always been more female births. Maybe the Chinks have been gene edited.
These men with god complexes need to be rounded up. HF seems fairly cavalier about this, maybe it is just theater macabre.
It’s not more male births, they just throw the female babies out with the trash because it is more “honorable” to have a male child, especially when the government was limiting how many kids you could have to one.
I am not cavalier, I simply possess the ability to recognize fabulists and liars the same way a pig finds truffles.
I also understand that 90% of all social control is built in to the individual and its desire to fit in with the herd. The most effective way to manipulate that reality is perception management, not brute force or technics.
And again, if there is evidence that any of these pipedreams were reality, we’d see them on display, but we do not. We hear about them, but that’s just words. And the folks who control the narrative are experts in how to use them.
I do not doubt for an instant that they would like their fantiasies to be realities, but absent evidence of their existence, a healthy doubt is the wisest course.
YMMV

It took me a while, as it was really hard to find:

M-I was speaking of last year , figures from 2016 don’t count. I am saying things have changed LATELY.
You were saying that things have changed lately [to now have become a large excess male to female birth ratio], and that such never happened before.
Never before is a pretty long time!
And China, in more or less intense phases, had a higher than normal (~1.02) excess male birth ratio for at least the last 45 years or so.
You’re about 4 decades behind … china’s one child policy — which led to the destruction of females (born or not) — was in effect from 1980-2015 …
Didn’t they try this in Racoon City?
Mother Nature is brilliant. The wisdom of a billion years…
Every time we think we can and should “improve mother nature” it turns into a fiasco at best and usually a disaster in the long run. The arrogance of ignorance and hubris….
Wolves were eating rancher’s stock so, remove the wolves. How’d that turn out? The cascade of benefits the wolves supplied was enormous.
Living in Fl, years ago the Army Core of Engineers built canals across the state to control waterways. 50 years later it’s pretty much a mess and would have much better to let nature do its thing. They are trying to unwind some of it.
I can’t wait for the knowledge we gain from Oxitec releasing sterilized mosquitos in the FL Keys, Opps, is my guess.
The bottom line remains largely the same. We have a cure for some problem which after the unintended consequences are realized, we understand we would have been better off doing nothing.

I am concerned about my GMO mosquitoes.
The WEF would be a great place to apply this technology. It would eliminate a lot of ugly and arrogance while making the world a safer place.
Normalizing the upcoming apocalypse. Evil has no boundaries… How many eager beavers will run to get in line for this one…
compared to this shit a nuclear war looks like a winning move!
every last person who was involved in this kind of genetic engineering, involved in pushing it, covering it up, funding it, etc etc etc, needs to be swinging from a lamppost.
Will they still become extinct if some of the “male” mice identify as “female?”
Man will annihilate himself. It’s the intellectuals…get the intellectuals!!!
I’d like to see the geniuses behind this given the Clockwork Orange treatment

Last night pbs had a special on an idea to ” cool the earth ” which I did not watch. I did inform the wife that if some fuckhead tries this idea I am going to have to take airplane lessons…………..
