THE “RESURRECTION GAMBIT”
This important story was shared by T.S., and it's about a subject I've blogged about previously, and it's worth doing so again. The subject, as the headline of the blog indicates, is what I think I am going to start calling "the Resurrection Gambit." By this I mean the attempt by scientismists to literally restore extinct species to existence through the techniques of genetic engineering, cloning, and so on. In other words, it's a real life "Jurassic Park" scenario, of scientists "resurrecting" long extinct species, in the case of the "Jurassic Park" scenario, dinosaurs, and for the purposes of putting them in a sort of "megolithic zoo" for entertainment. Most readers here will know the story: the whole thing quickly gets out of control as the dinosaurs view the strange little hairless monkeys snapping pictures of them as ready-made meals-on-wheels. Well, now they want to resurrect the Tasmanian Tiger:
What is interesting here is that one notices a distinctive shift in the type of argument being advanced for bringing back the strange dog-like marsupial, and the counter-arguments being offered by local aboriginal leaders. Here's the case for "de-extinction" of the species:
Known for its distinctive striped coat and dog-like features, the Tasmanian tiger was last seen alive in 1936. As Tasmania’s top predator, it played a critical role in maintaining the island’s ecological balance. With its disappearance, smaller herbivores like wallabies flourished, damaging local vegetation and threatening the ecosystem. Now, researchers argue that bringing back the thylacine could reverse some of these changes by reintroducing a natural predator into the landscape.
In other words, the "de-extinction" is being argued to restore a lost environmental balance caused by the loss of the species(let us call it what it really is, by the name that indicates the ultimate goal of all this scientism: resurrection, and "immortality"). The reader will have noted immediately that there is an implicit assumption in the argument, namely, that the previous situation in Tasmania, the situation obtaining prior to 1936, represented a sort of "ideal balance", which the situation after 1936 and the massive human intervention, does not. And behind this, there is another implicit assumption, namely, that human beings and their activities are somehow something "set apart" from that "environmental balance", except, of course, when that activity is being used to "restore it." But this assumption contains within it a self-contradiction, and it is a contradiction that will not go away: what, exactly, distinguishes one set of human activities on the environment from another? Might not an attempted restoration of that environmental balance that obtained prior to 1936 and the Tasmanian Tiger's extinction result in yet another set of imbalances even more catastrophic?
Ultimately, the "resurrection gambit" thus exposes a fundamental fallacy with all the prognostications about science, mankind's activity, and its environmental impact: the idea of some sort of ideal environmental balance is a metaphysical assumption rather than a product of empirical science, because the latter is perpetually changing, because of human and other factors. Mind you, there's nothing wrong with making metaphysical assumptions; we all do it, all the time, and in many cases they're necessary to human thought. But this also means that it is vital to distinguish them from science per se. This problematic is exposed by the counter-argument that aboriginal Tasmanians are making about the gambit:
The project has also sparked discussions within Tasmania’s indigenous communities, who caution against tampering with nature. Emma Lee, a Tasmanian aboriginal elder and environmental expert, expresses skepticism about what she calls a “colonial approach” to science. She stresses that conservation efforts should prioritize current species and that the thylacine’s extinction itself was a byproduct of European hunting practices. For many, the ethical implications of this project loom as large as its scientific hurdles.

There’s another implicit assumption, that the Thylacine is truly extinct in Tasmania. There’s a considerable body of evidence suggesting otherwise, and that goes for the mainland.

The Financiers of Trans
As per “resurrection”, a particularly male obsession, one has to wonder. It’s extraordinary how much of all the obsessions come back to the same source. Such chronic insecurity.
Any woman who’s raised more than one child is perfectly content with the idea of a long long peaceful sleep. How boring, to want to be the same person again, or forever. Whatever these are, they are most certainly…as we say….FULL OF THEMSELVES.
These freaks aren’t human, and they just can’t figure out how to cross the species barrier, ’cause that’s not allowed. that’s a No No.
But Peter Thiel ain’t taking no for an answer, and he’s got the bucks to finance any obsession. Including the narcissistic Drumph.
Such a pornographic crap movie. Maybe they only got one chance here.
Reduxx does a great job reporting regularly on their current tactics.
Regarding colonizing scientism:
Years ago, a self proclaimed, environmentally unstable “expert” in Mt. Shasta wrote a letter to the editor about the horror of the “invasive plant species” with lovely yellow flowers, “scotch broom”. Like Y2K, it was about to cause devastation, and must be stopped. Destroyed. Kept from spreading.
I responded by relating how I went back to camp and read this letter out loud to the trees and critters. The critters began to mumble, “invasive species!! LOOK WHO’S TALKING!!! The most invasive species ever!! Maybe we need to do something about them!”
Then I mentioned how landowners weren’t going to hire Susie and Johnny high schooler to pull out those horrible bushes, but would instead go buy some cheap poison so that when JOhnny and Susie pick the lovely yellow flowers to bring home, the entire family can be poisoned.
People used to cut out my letters and put them in their scapbook.
Talk of Jurassic Park and no mention of Avatar? What is fundamental? Everything is weaponized. So, we tell the rich to pursue this Resurrection of Extinct Species science so it can be used to prolong their lives. And species can be created to help cull the human population, if not through viruses or other disease then by engineering biosphere collapse in one locality after another. But wait, there’s more! This site has talked many times about interdimensional portholes. Why not create bodies that have frequencies suitable for possession by other-dimensional beings – demons for example – bodies that enable them to exist for prolonged periods in our world-frequency? And on the way there, create things like this tasmanian monster to destroy the world of aborigines and other indigenous people who would warn against what is happening, people who have been subjected to colonial genocide since the white man arrived on their shores. The real issue when scientist creates predators like this Tasmanian tiger is – what consciousness is inhabiting this body? Can we even guess who is really coming to dinner?
The apocryphal, unorthodox version of John Barleycorn’s comeback…
FALL, DEATH & RISE
I recall, that I gave up ghost,
beerless in empty toast,
and in my last call
before fall,
I hung thirsty uttermost.
Then I fell rock bottom clash,
like rotten apple trash,
and my wild rover
in hangover,
was dead drunk backlash.
When I woke into resurrection,
I needed my reparation,
and angel schnaps
lifted caps,
and boosted my levitation.

In the Middle Ages, a king was depicted, holding ‘sprout & apple’ (i.e. sceptre & orb), which confirms, that a rightful kingship was determined, by the last three runes, in the Old English rune poem.
Given, that the Scandinavian languages refer, to sceptre & orb – as ‘reign sprout’ & ‘reign apple’ – then it can be deduced, that the Scythian-inspired gospel hero did ‘pull an Odin’, in Jerusalem.
I would like to see a small Wooly Mammoth species like the Wrangel Island or Dwarf Sardinian Mammoth alive on earth again. I might even want a cute little three foot high Mammoth as a pet. I bet it could drag felled trees around as well as my friends Belgian Draft horse does and handle the winters in the mountains as well. What practical use would a Tasmainian ever have other than as a lab experiment ?

Very wel said brother.
Think Frankenstein- Island Of Dr. Mareau and throw in Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers. Have fun idiots.
Thank you for bringing up these issues, Dr. Farrell. You’ve done a great job laying out two of the three major questions I’ve had about the “de-extinction” movement and the quest for immortality by technological means. I believe these are important issues that don’t get much (or any) attention in today’s materialist, hubris-filled, scientism-addled culture.
The third question/objection I have is about bringing back extinct species: Are we being asked to simultaneously believe that (1) animals are a source and vector of spreading “pandemics” that can devastate the world, and (2) it’s desirable and risk-free to introduce into our current environment animals about which we know little or nothing? Well, not to worry, I’m sure de-extinction will be safe and effective . . . or else an excuse for another health event of global concern.
Dear Joseph, I still can’t get my head round this. Surely, if you resurrect a dead person you get a zombie? The soul or spirit is long gone to somewhere else?
Of course, you could communicate with the departed soul of spirit through a medium or psychic and perhaps it could it
travel back to this world and haunt it, or be reborn in a new person at their birth?
Am I missing something?
Necromanced Buffy, the vampire slayer, had to dig herself out of her own grave.
Today, a California governor is resurrecting vampire voters, from a hellmouth, in Sunnydale.
I wonder 🤔 if “we” can “tamper” with the lil “kitty kitty’s” 🐈& put “in” an “gene” that ONLY attacks wokey lib kooks😷…. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️Is THAT possible 🤨😉😂 Ya know kooky wokey lib-wiches Umm just think’n of “balancing”. nature I put this question / my thoughts ta SIRI ( new APPLE INTELLIGENCE ) & 🍏 has now banned me , damn & NOW apparently umm on some “watchlist/lists” & also apparently going ta see the Eiiffel Tower my visit is off & ah ah oh yeah how the hell do “they” “know” …. I voted 4 trump , huh ? 🤔
This is dangerous.
An old tried & true saying comes to mind:
“Let sleeping dogs lie.”
No telling what forms of death-defying…
organisms or unknowns, are “frozen” in time?
Even the Devil Himself, is said to be imprisoned.
I read a book on this, that in my mind’s eye,
was the preparatory steps of the coming deep-state narratives:
“The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature’s Salvation
by Fred Pearce, April 2015.
In other words, this has been in their “Playbook”.
You know, the one with elections stolen; CO2 Boggy Man;
U.S. Const1tution Bad; Free Speech Bad; etc., etc.
You know; the whole shebang gang under Orwell’s 1984:
War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, Ignorance Is Strength.
If truth be known; part of that entertainment complex,
includes “hunting/killing” trophies.
You know, their “nature”.
And then the deep-state’s “reality curtain” rises:
Billionaire Immortality: starring the substantial equivalents of:
Mao Tse-Tung, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Genghis Khan, etc., etc.
And “they”, are hunting & extinguishing Homo Sapiens;
as we speak to power seeking to put technocratic authoritarianism: to final rest.
Reminded of the film adaptation of The Island of Dr Moreau.
Anti-human, creates havoc and pester & eats humans, go for it. The rest are all excuses.
Oeps, forgot the most important; anti-life.
