FReSH (initials standing for Food Reform for Sustainability and Health) is a benevolent initiative of the “World Business Council” to restructure the world’s food system; and to make companies adapt to it… It was created in 2017 – and its members confer regularly… There are many things that interest the bosses of food, drugs, communications… Keep the name of one of them: proteins. (If you remember that the “lifesaving” genetic engineering therapies that have become fashionable these days involve the production of proteins, it must be a simple coincidence…) Do you understand that? Every radical capitalist restructuring requires a good …
Eternal youth (superficial first)…
A South Korean cosmetics company called Amorepacific, in collaboration with a team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), is preparing to support and commercialize the latter’s finding to inhibit skin cell aging. KAIST biotechnologists claim that with a combination of chemical and genetic intervention in the cells, they have found a way to “block” a molecule that enables their aging. They are excited. “…our research opens the door for a new generation that perceives aging as a reversible biological phenomenon…” stated Professor Cho. Indeed, “eternal childhood” (even infancy…) has commercially proven to be a very dynamic …
Genetic extermination
Between 2008 and 2014, the US government funded nearly $ 1 billion in synthetic biology research. From 2012 onwards, most of the relevant funds came from the infamous DARPA and other military budgets. Why does the US army love synthetic biology so much (too)? It has good purposes… It wants, for example, to eradicate malaria by eradicating mosquitoes. It targets also other insects that are seen as dangerous… How will it eliminate them? By placing “mosquito coils” everywhere? No. By developing (it declares…) genetic extermination techniques. So to speak: it will make them sterile so that they do not reproduce. …
Close contacts of the known type.
They have their reasons to hide them; or, at least, not to advertise them. The hard core of the (American) state is a very good customer, and it has its requirements. But a former Google search executive, Jack Poulson (retired in 2018), had the perseverance and patience to look for a stack of 30 million US government contracts, signed from 2015 onwards. There he discovered that microsoft has signed more than 5,000 contracts with the US Department of Defense and various federal public order mechanisms since 2016; amazon over 350, google over 250. He also discovered that signing contracts by …
Open sesame!
Some people thought that by wearing surgical masks they become unrecognizable. Maybe even invisible. To their friends maybe. But not to biometric technologies! The well-known Japanese NEC group developed and implemented facial recognition software even if the person is wearing a sanitary face mask. One of the group executives, Shinya Takashima, explained the beneficence of the invention: “Needs grew even more due to the coronavirus situation … and so we’ve now introduced this technology to the market to help revival of economic activities under the New Normal…” It is possible that in the distant and high-tech Japanese capitalism, facial recognition …
Ηave faith and doubt not
Deception is part of the job; especially when the “job” is to impose massive techno-scientific applications that, at best, would be considered dangerous. Therefore, there is a surplus of kibitzers of genetic engineering companies, who use their “charm” to convince that mRNA platforms do not interfere in human DNA, so they are harmless. On February 4, 2020 (when covid 19 was still a “Chinese problem”…) one could read in the well-known nature journal, under the title Step aside CRISPR, RNA editing is taking off, some interesting things about the “take-off” of mRNA technology, which is well qualified to outperform CRISPR …
Robotic melancholy
When it premiered, in 2016, it cut a big swath… “Her” company, Hanson Robotics, based in Hong Kong, specializes in high social intelligence machines. As self-presented on its website: Robots will soon be everywhere. How can we nurture them to be our friends and useful collaborators? Robots with good aesthetic design, rich personalities, and social cognitive intelligence can potentially connect deeply and meaningfully with humans. So Sophia (this is the name of the model on the top left) may now have the opportunity to become a commercial success. The founder and ceo of the manufacturer has concluded: The world of …
Pharmacovigilance…
A new word, in a handful of similar ones, which have one main purpose: to cultivate the mysticism of power… What exactly is this “pharmacovigilance” that came up for the first time in modern social life? If you ask an “expert” (or even a government official) in our area, 11 out of 10 will try to deceive you. It is better to turn to one of the main sources of these “basic elements” of the new normal. …a rare media interview with the Wall Street Journal (wrote Whitney Webb last October on the defender’s pediatric site) given by the “Vaccine …
Bioprinting
Every 1 to 2 seconds, somewhere on the planet, a diabetic will get an ulcer somewhere on the tip of his or her feet. Half of these ulcers become infected within three days at most. Infection eats the flesh. Gangrene… Equally effective is the medical treatment of such conditions: amputation. It is estimated that a mutilation of this kind occurs every minute – all over the planet. So the invention of the South Korean medicine startup ROKIT Healthcare is really radical. The wound is first scanned, which can be done remotely. Then liposuction must be done from a healthy part …
No prisoners!
The news is of american origin; it obviously serves american purposes. (The news is that) the chinese army that invests in the technological upgrade of the infantry, has made, among other things, helmets that can be blown up from a distance, by the administration… According to this proof of chinese barbarism, if the administration deems that a marine has been seriously injured and can not be saved or that he is in danger of falling into the hands of the enemy, it presses the button and the helmet tears the skull to pieces. According to the american super-spies, even the …
