This is an important article from GRAIN. If you think biotechnology is the future…..it may be a future none of us wants. Here again we see bio-priates at work attempting not only to patent their horrendous creations, but human life as well.

The new weapons of genetic engineering
GRAIN
Over the last few years biotech laboratories and industry have developed two new techniques – artificial minichromosomes and transformed organelles – which, the industry claims, will allow it to overcome the problems it has faced until now with GMOs, especially their low efficiency and genetic contamination. But basic biology and maths indicate that, contrary to what the industry claims, the new technology will not prevent genetic contamination in plants. In fact, as the two technologies converge, the frightening possibility arises that contamination will reach a new level of toxicity, and occur not only within organisms of the same species but also between species as different from each other as plants and bacteria, or plants and fungi.
From its very beginning, genetic engineering has faced two tremendous barriers. First, there is the undeniable fact that the theory that each gene is responsible for a single characteristic (one gene–one trait), if it is true at all, holds true for only some genes. The more that is learnt about the functioning of cells and organisms, the more flexible and multiple the links between gene and function are found to be. [1] Second, there is the complex and powerful self-regulating capacity of chromosomes and genomes, which leads them to expel, delete or “silence” genetic material which is not part of their normal make-up. Mutations occur very often in nature, and most of the time the genetic material itself triggers mechanisms that “correct” or delete these mutations. The result is an amazing and stubborn stability of form and function. [2]
Three major practical effects derive from this: multiple and unexpected side-effects from genetic engineering; a very low rate of successful, stable expression of the engineered traits; and an overwhelming difficulty in genetically engineering traits that involve several genes. The biotech industry has addressed the first problem by not releasing engineered organisms with obviously harmful side-effects and by denying side-effects when they have occurred in the field or lab, or in animals and human beings. Industry has also been very careful to avoid acknowledging that fewer than one per cent of their attempts at genetic engineering are successful in any way. They are also reluctant to admit that none of the attractive initial promises of biotechnology – that it would make all plants capable of fixing nitrogen and acquiring phosphorus, that it would produce plants tolerant of drought, salt and heavy metals, and that it would manufacture new vaccines – has been delivered. A key factor in explaining this is that all these characteristics or products involve gene complexes; by contrast, almost all current biotech products are based upon single genes (plants that are tolerant of herbicide and plants that contain Bt toxin are two good examples).
As well as harming their public image, these failures have serious practical consequences for the companies, as they reduce their efficiency and limit their potential profits. Not surprisingly, the industry has long sought new approaches to overcome these limitations. Biotechnologists and the biotech industry are now saying that a major breakthrough has taken place: they are now able to build small artificial chromosomes that carry multiple genes and become fully functional once inserted into a cell. Due to their small size, these artificial chromosomes are called “minichromosomes”. It is claimed that they will make the engineering of complex traits possible and that they will dramatically reduce side-effects, as they will not disrupt the native genetic material of the engineered organisms.

Maira, my advice about your interest in a career(?) in genetic engineering is DON’T. You will only be serving an elitist agenda to wipe out most of humanity and to control the surviving slave population. If you want to aid the forces of evil, then, by all means, go ahead and pursue such a career and see where it gets you. But, if you value human life and dignity of human beings, you won’t do so.

Yes, exactly. People are sheep and the folks in the genealogical community, and especially those hooked on the “social networking” are swallowing it all, hook, line and sinker. I’m in a quandary about what to do about it, myself. As the founder of the Rea Surname DNA Project, I’m conflicted between maintaining the project as always or warning my membership about what I suspect is happening and then pulling the plug on the project. The thing is, it won’t really make any difference if I do, as FTDNA already has our Y-DNA and MtDNA samples, as well as the results of all the various tests that members have bought for themselves. It’s not like we can get that information back. The “good” thing is, though, they don’t have the entire genome for each member; just that part of it that reveals from which line they descend. But, on the other hand, that may be all they were fishing for, in the first place, if I’m right about their wanting to catalog who is one of them and who isn’t.

Isn’t it something how they come up with different ways to get people to voluntarily give up personal info? Social pages for examples and now dna testing. I bet those tests do not provide any privacy for those who submit their dna voluntarily. And people are sooooo gullible.

Marti is right, and this whole thing is definitely part of the elite’s eugenics operations against us. They want to catalog who descends from their bloodlines, as well as who doesn’t, and the darker side of this is they are likely devising bioweapons that are tailored to specific genetic signatures.
One thing I have become aware of, as the founder of genetic genealogy surname project, is the growing number of corporate entities engaged in providing DNA testing services to genealogists like myself. My initial interest in it, back in 2002, was its utility in solving genealogical research problems and that’s how it’s being sold to genealogists. However, I have recently become aware of some disturbing developments and, since becoming aware of the NWO, I see, now, that perhaps this entire “industry” serving the genealogical community has a dark ulterior motive.
One company, in particular, which was among the first in the industry, is Family Tree DNA. The management of FTDNA is composed entirely of Jews, some of them Israelis, and, until very recently, one of their staff research biologists was Max Rothschild. Another, newer venture, called 23And Me, was founded by the wife of one of Google’s founders and they are pushing a new development in genetic testing services: the intermingling of genetic testing with dating and social networking. You can now have your DNA tested and then choose a life partner based on DNA matching, which is how the founder of this organization met her husband.

On every level attempts are being made to rationalize why the government and bio-pirates are needing our dna. They don’t just want particular dna samples….they want it ALL. No government or corporation sets out to collect this kind of individual identification of individuals unless they have big plans fo rit. Why do you think they have been taking and recording the dna of new borns since 1992? Look up the office of Special Viruses. Many answers are there.

Knowing what is in store for 90% of the human race, according to the global elite’s own admissions, I’d say this is absolutely no accident or mistake, but rather, an intentional “improvment” in the efficacy of bioengineering for the purpose of population reduction.
