Eugenics: Flawed Logic | by a female Faust

(originally posted as comment to the article, below).

to Michael: keep up the Great Work, sir.

to the first comment - experience tells me not to even dignify this with a response, but - the problem here is with the standards, the criteria by which life-threatening choices are made. from a standpoint purely of efficiency, from a hypothetical pro-eugenical pro-depopulation do-it-for-the-future mindset, we cannot know with absolute certainty if our assumptions are correct. we as human beings know very little, and are notoriously prone to error. i would wager the next hundred years will completely overturn many of the beliefs that are held without question today, in almost all the disciplines.

depopulation, however, is not reversible -- we stand to lose far too much. and that is the mildest argument; to call it an understatement is itself understating the matter by far. it was merely an argument with which i hoped, irrationally, to trigger some semblance of basic ethics in misguided opinions such as that expressed prior.

back to Michael, but in the same, uh, vein: it is of particular interest to me, this question of how such choices are made. some of my ancestors were actively hunted, in an attempt to wipe them out entirely -- all of my ancestors have been considered inferior natives, members of inferior races, by the ruling elites. very hardy biologically, though, robust, fecund, and, historically at least, long lived. i also made the 99th percentile by various standardized test measurements, and have ranked, without exaggeration among the top persons in my class, nationwide, for the entirety of my educational career.

which standard, then, has proven itself more advantageous for humanity?

by one i would have never been born, had it succeeded: my parents would have been prevented from marrying; ancestors before them were thought to have perished, a colonial miscalculation; other ancestors historically exiled and persecuted repeatedly.

by another standard, leaving aside for a moment that i am beautiful, i think i can safely offer myself as evidence. ecce signum: THE FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTIONS OF HISTORICAL EUGENICS ARE SEVERELY FLAWED, leaving nothing to cover the nakedness of heinous acts planned and in process as well as committed.

White House Gives Go-ahead For Elitists to Control DNA

by Michael Edwards for Activist Post

It is official: in the name of "clean energy, pollution control and medicine," the White House is prepared to let scientists, spearheaded by the J. Craig Venter Institute, "manipulate DNA of organisms to forge new life forms," according to a recent AFP article....

Since we won't get straight truth from the mainstream media, science, or the government, it is better advised to look at who Craig Venter is, and what public statements have been issued about this agenda that literally could transform the human race from a naturally evolving species into a manipulated computer code.

..2003... Warning on Gene 'ID Cards' cited Craig Venter as a leading scientist ... "What we could end up with is a massive DNA database by the back door." ...

...2006... collaboration between the J. Craig Venter Institute and Google... "create a searchable online database of all the genes on the planet." ...

[2010] The Institute announced... Synthia.... the "synthetic genome." illustrates the ability to replicate the entirety of an organism's hereditary information.

... taken seriously by the White House at a time when revelations about how computing, medicine, technology, and the police state are converging... in just the past month...:

• Lawsuits have been filed in Austin, TX by parents who have discovered that DNA had been secretly taken from babies and sold to pharmaceutical companies and/or the Armed Forces for genetic research as far back as 2002.
• Unions... biometric ID "threat assessment" cards [:] Homeland Security in a "cooperative effort between public and private authorities."
• Iris scan technology is being used by NYC law enforcement to create a biometric database...
• GM Mosquitoes have been released...to combat Dengue fever,... Bill Gates, has been funding the initiative.
• Connections have been made between the above-mentioned...to the history of CIA bioweapons research, as well as ... The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation['s] "flying vaccines" ...

It is worth adding that part of the stated purpose of the first artificial cell, Synthia, is "faster vaccine production"...

Be seeing you.
