Guess Who's Funding and Promoting Gene Drives..
Jonathan Latham of Independent Science News joins us to discuss his 2017 article, “Gates Foundation Hired PR Firm to Manipulate UN Over Gene Drives.” We talk about gene drives, the dangers inherent in this technology, how the UN is involved, and why the Gates Foundation and DARPA are so interested in introducing genetic modifications into various species.

Gates Foundation Hired PR Firm to Manipulate UN Over Gene Drives
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation this year paid a PR firm called Emerging Ag $1.6 million to recruit a covert coalition of academics to manipulate a UN decision-making process over gene drives, according to emails obtained through Freedom of Information requests.
Gene drives are a highly controversial new genetic extinction technology. They have been proposed as potentially able to eradicate malarial mosquitoes, agricultural pests, invasive species, as well as having potential military uses.
"There is no transparency about who is influencing decisions on the future of global ecosystems, people’s livelihoods, or our food system,” said Dana Perls of Friends of the Earth, U.S. “Gene drives could have profound ecological, health and socio-economic impacts, and the emails reveal a secretive attempt to game the system by gene drive proponents aiming to minimize regulations and oversight.”
Despite the public perception that conservation and public health are what motivates gene drive research, it is known that, besides the contribution of the Gates Foundation, most gene drive funding comes from the DARPA, the technology foresight arm of the US Dept of Defense.
“Gene drives are a powerful and dangerous new technology and potential biological weapons that could have disastrous impacts on peace, food security and the environment, especially if misused,” said Jim Thomas of ETC Group. “
The fact that gene drive development is now being primarily funded and structured by the US military raises alarming questions about this entire field.”

They will die. They can't handle the idea of this and they have literally all the money.
Being eternally remembered holds serious power -
Secret Military Study draws in Monsanto: The emails reveal that the secretive JASON group of military advisors produced a classified study on gene drive this year (2017). The report was commissioned following an earlier classified 2016 JASON report on “genome editing” that has not previously been publicly reported on although it “received considerable attention among various agencies of the U.S. government.”
The celebrated scientists on the Pentagon's most prestigious scientific advisory panel, JASON, are the ones worried about adversaries' ability "to exploit advances in Human Performance Modification, and thus create a threat to national security."
In a recent report, unearthed by Secrecy News, the JASONs are recommending that the American military push ahead with its own performance-enhancement research...
The JASONs are particularly concerned about (and excited by) new drugs that promote "brain plasticity" -- rewiring the mind, essentially, by helping to "permanently establishing new neural pathways, and thus new cognitive capabilities." The military has already tested these neuro-modulators as a way to keep troops alert after sleepless nights.
In an interview describing DARPA’s omniscient presence Jacobson says that,
“. . .those who follow conspiracy theorists probably know that the JASON scientists are considered to be right up there with the Illuminati, in terms of, you know people see them as these wizards behind the curtain doing all these bad things. . .”
A deeper investigation into the JASON Group reveals that they may be even more important than the Bilderberg group as far as controlling worldly chaos.
Jacobson goes on to say that she interviewed one of the co-founders of the JASON physicists, Martin Goldberger, who was an adviser to the Pentagon for decades. It is thought that he and other scientists discovered a secret code for the human brain. The implications of this discovery are enormous, considering that DARPA has inserted itself into nearly every aspect of our daily lives.

“NNSA has issued a notice of intent to award a short-term sole source contract to MITRE Corporation to provide management and logistics support to the JASON program and its members through January 31, 2020,” NNSA spokesperson Ana M. Gamonal de Navarro said in a statement sent to Gizmodo via email.
MITRE Corporation has sponsored the Jasons ever since the group was formally spun off from Darpa in 2002.

As the WHO’s own malaria chief, Dr. Arata Kochi, warned in an internal memo, Gates’ influence means that the world’s leading malaria scientists are now “locked up in a ‘cartel’ with their own research funding being linked to those of others within the group” and that the foundation is “stifling debate on the best ways to treat and combat malaria, prioritizing only those methods that relied on new technology or developing new drugs.”

Operation Drop Kick - Between April and November 1956, the U.S. Army Chemical Corps conducted Operation Drop Kick to test the practicality of employing mosquitoes to carry an entomological warfare agent in different ways. The Corps released uninfected female mosquitoes into a cooperative residential area of Savannah, Georgia, and then estimated how many mosquitoes entered houses and bit people. Within a day the mosquitoes had bitten many people. In 1958, the Corps released 600,000 mosquitoes in Avon Park, Florida.
These tests showed that mosquitoes could be spread by means of various devices.
The 1964 movie Dr. Strangelove also refers to an Operation Drop Kick.
The TV series Archer refers to Operation Drop Kick as the codename of a CIA mission to take over a Latin American country.
Also, in the 50's planning was "Operation Big Itch" and "Operation Big Buzz."
Entomological warfare - March 1981, US Army Dugway Proving Ground.
For decades, the U.S. Army examined whether infected mosquitoes could be used to kill our enemies--so-called "entomological warfare."
In these excerpts from a March 1981 Army report, you can marvel at how much it would have cost to launch a yellow fever-infected mosquito attack on a city (with a handy "Cost per Death" chart included!).
Genetically Modified Mosquitoes Cleared For Release In The US (June 6, 2020)
A company called Oxitec has received an experimental use permit from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to release genetically modified mosquitos into the wild. This would be the first time that such an experiment was attempted within the borders of the US, and the permit would allow for the release of millions of genetically modified mosquitos each week over the next two years. The genetically modified insects will be released in Florida and Texas, but they will easily be able to travel throughout the country from there.
^^^An interesting flow-chart graphic is included in the short article.
For the recent public forum regarding Oxitec’s recent permit application in the US, there were 31,174 comments opposing the release of the mosquitos and only 56 in support. While the EPA promised to consider these votes during their review process, the permit still went through anyway.

But in this case, researchers want the modification to spread. So they engineered mosquitoes with a "gene drive."
The experiment is a key step in the Target Malaria project. The project's major funder is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which also supports NPR and this blog.
Researchers created the mosquitoes by using the powerful new gene-editing technique known as CRISPR, which Mueller likens to a "molecular scissor which can cut at a specific site in the DNA."
"The females become a bit more male," Mueller says. "A kind of hermaphrodite."
Bill Gates, who recently bought 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock, is reportedly funding the approval of genetically modified mosquitoes. It seems that not only will genetically modified salmon enter the environment along with unforeseen changes, but a new self-sterilizing mosquito may be joining them.
These mosquitoes are engineered with an extra gene or inserted bacterium or have had a gene altered so that either their offspring are sterile and unable to spread dengue, or simply die.
The report goes on to credit the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for funding Australian researchers from the University of Queensland, which received approval to release the genetically modified mosquitoes in December.

The Next Threat: DNA Exploitation
As even the NCSC report on emerging threats cited above concedes, your genetic information can and will be used by bad actors to construct more deadly pathogens and bioweapons, ones that could tailor diseases for certain races or even for you individually:
"The powerful technologies harnessed by the bioeconomy also can lead to national security and economic vulnerabilities. For example, biotechnology can be misused to create virulent pathogens that can target our food supply or even the human population. Genomic technology used to design disease therapies tailored to an individual also can be used to identify genetic vulnerabilities in a population."
Hmm...using genetic information and advanced technologies to create more effective bioweapons, huh? Where have I read that before?
Oh, that's right. It's literally in the same PNAC document ("Rebuilding America's Defenses") that was calling for a "new Pearl Harbor" the year before 9/11:
"Information systems will become an important focus of attack, particularly for U.S. enemies seeking to short-circuit sophisticated American forces. And advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool."

In the past few weeks some interesting videos have been uploaded online, showing what appears to be mosquitoes with serial numbers on their back.
Months after a Bill Gates tech start-up released millions of genetically modified mosquitoes in to the wild, mosquitoes across the US are testing positive to extremely rare and deadly viruses, some of which have never before been reported in the United States.
Various states across the country have reported a sharp increase in mosquito-borne viruses.
In the Midwest, cases of the mosquito-borne Jamestown Canyon Virus are on the rise.
Jamestown Canyon virus can cause severe disease, including infection of the brain or the membranes around the brain and spinal cord.
A mosquito-borne virus that can be lethal to pets is also reportedly on the rise across the country.
While the mainstream media is attributing the rise in mosquito-borne viruses to the particularly hot summer this year, it is also worth noting that last year, a Bill Gates tech startup called Oxitec released millions of genetically modified mosquitos in the US.
Bill Gates was so excited about the project that he even recorded a promotional video to boast that “mosquitoes are the deadliest animals to humans” and that he was going to release millions of them into the United States.
Is it a coincidence that mosquitoes across America are testing positive to extremely rare and deadly viruses, some of which have never before been found in this part of the world?
Scientists Warn Genetically Engineered Insects Could Be Easily Weaponized
Scientists and legal scholars question the rationale for the use of insects to disperse infectious GE viruses engineered to edit the chromosomes in plants, warning that the technology could very easily be weaponized.
