Here's another one for your GMO scrapbook. Apparently independent scientists in France(yes, they still have them there), have conducted a study demonstrating a possible link between GMO modified plants and various cancers, and this one has to be seen to be believed: New Study Finds GM Corn and Roundup Causes Cancer In Rats Here's the paragraphs that jumped out at me(in addition to the pictures): "The results of this new study are doubly concerning. Not only has the consumption of a genetically modified food crop (NK603 maize, which is approved in the US for human consumption) now been … [Read more...]
EUROPEAN UNION EVEN LOONIER THAN AMERICA ON GMOS
You may recall a couple of days ago I blogged about the protests scheduled around the world against Mon(ster)santo and GMOs. And there I suggested that the whole real motivation behind the exercise was patentable seeds and food, and hence, control over the human food supply. Well here's one shared with me by quite a few of you, and it seems the EU has the right idea (if you're into corporate welfare, tyranny, and fascism of the loonier variety): why not just require all seeds and plants to be registered with the government (i.e., the Euronazis in Brussels)? Sounds neat, huh? Sounds … [Read more...]
RT (RUSSIA TODAY) REVEALS STUDY ON GMO CORN
Once again, RT (Russia Today) is running a story that you'll never see on American (and probably Canadian, British, Australian, or New Zealand TV, and we might be hard pressed to find it ins continental European media), and it concerns the nutritional value of GMO corn. Now here's the story as RT ran it, incidentally, on the same day as the Boston marathon bombing: Study reveals GMO corn to be highly toxic And if you're one of those who mistrusts any report coming out of Russia on principle (I'm not, or rather, I am considerably more inclined to mistrust SeeBS, CNoNews, Faux News or … [Read more...]
YET ANOTHER ONE FOR THE TRANSHUMANIST SCRAPBOOK: THE EUGENICISTS’ WET DREAM
Ms. C.W. sent this one to me, and it's another one to file in your transhumanism scrapbook. Before we get to it however, you'll recall that one of the things I talked about in Genes, Giants, Monsters and Men, was the implication that if there was genetic engineering involved in any genome or sequence, it was subject to patentability under U.S. law. Additionally, on this website, I have talked previously about the fact that, when one adds up all the various patents already taken out on this or that aspect of the human genome, pretty much the entire thing belongs to someone under some patent. … [Read more...]
MON(STER)SANTO’S “SCIENCE”: EVEN THE NEW YORK TIMES ISN’T BUYING
Normally I am about as skeptical of The New York Times, The Washington Post and other mainstream rags as I am about the Warren Commission and other "official" explanations. But this one is so interesting I have to pass it along, and it comes courtesy of Jon Rappaport's website: Even the NY Times is now rejecting Monsanto GMO science Now, I have to admit to a certain amount of "I told you so" gloating here. For one thing, I was the enfant terrible in my middle and high school biology classes, always asking the unwanted question of our Darwinian textbooks: if the giraffe evolved a … [Read more...]
DNA PATENT RESEARCHERS CONCERNED: DO YOU OWN YOUR GENES? THOUGHTS AND SPECULATIONS
This is a blog about some other blogs that have appeared the previous week on this site, and about some books, and some dot-connecting. So here we go. The late Charles Fort said something in his The Book of the Damned that I and other authors have cited, pondering its implications from the standpoint of ancient texts that suggest that humanity was perhaps the product of some genetic engineering experiment between "the gods" and some Earth-born hominid: "I think we're property. "I should say we belong to something: "That once upon a time, this earth was No-man's Land, that other … [Read more...]
HUMAN-NEANDERTHAL REMAINS DISCOVERED?
This has been a banner period for interesting news from the mainstream that has huge implications for the themes and concepts long followed and advanced in the alternative research/truth community, and many of you sent me this one. Last Tuesday, for example, I blogged about the fascinating article about the possibility of an encoded "ET" message existing within our DNA. The article was submitted to the prestigious scientific journal Icarus, and as I indicated Tuesday, if subsequent scientific research confirms the findings, then it will be more grist for the mill of the physicists studying … [Read more...]
MORE FOR THE TRANSHUMANISM SCRAPBOOK: NANOTOOLS AND SUPER-PROTEINS
Here's a couple more items for the transhumanism scrapbook courtesy of a regular reader here, Ms. P.H. The first of these is a new application of nanotechnology to neuroscience, in the mapping of brain activity of various species, including humans. The abstract of an important paper says it all: "Neuroscience is at a crossroads. Great effort is being invested into deciphering specific neural interactions and circuits. At the same time, there exist few general theories or principles that explain brain function. We attribute this disparity, in part, to limitations in current methodologies. … [Read more...]
MORE FOR THE TRANSHUMANIST SCRAPBOOK: TODAY, “DE-EXTINCTION,” TOMORROW, “RE-VIVIFCATION”? AND FULFILLMENTS
When Dr. Scott de Hart and I were writing Transhumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas, we had long discussions on the implications of the the genetic technologies that we were seeing, along with nanotechnology and robotics. Our conclusions were, I suppose, illustrated by the subtitle: what we were seeing was an alchemical agenda, an ascent back up the esoteric ladder from animal, to vegetable, to mineral, and finally, to androgynous immortal man. There was, we thought, an implicit underlying long-term goal: the technological end-run around mortality in all its forms. It sounded … [Read more...]
