A group of European scientists warns that a US military program dubbed ‘Insect Allies’ could be used as a biological weapon to poison the global society.

The Pentagon’s research arm claims they are intended to defend crops, but doesn’t deny ‘dual-use’ potential.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology and the University of Freiburg in Germany, as well as the University of Montpellier, France, have published a critique of the program, dubbed “Insect Allies.”

They argue that the knowledge to be gained from this program appears very limited in its capacity to enhance US agriculture or respond to national emergencies.

And therefore the program may be widely perceived as an effort to develop biological agents for hostile purposes and their means of delivery, which would mean a breach of the Biological Weapons Convention.

DARPA argued the program was intended to respond rapidly to threats to the food supply and that it was subject to government regulation and transparency rules.

DARPA’s insect allies would work by injecting the affected crops with gene-editing viruses intended to target whatever ailment affects them, using CRISPR technology.

However, the researchers point out this mechanism could also be used to introduce viruses into healthy organisms ?

The question is not whether the program can be weaponized; it already has been.

DARPA has been one of the major sources of funding for a project to release genetically modified mosquitoes into the wild, armed with a gene-editing virus intended to sterilize the species that transmits malaria.

There have been plans to release these GMO mosquitoes in the Florida Keys.

The dispute over Insect Allies comes as Russia has raised concerns about a US biological research facility in Tbilisi, Georgia. A former government minister has recently published on-line some 100,000 pages of documents about the facility.

The Russian military is now looking into the outbreaks of African swine fever since 2007 that originated in Georgia and spread into Russia, Europe and China.

Despite worrisome scientific breakthroughs and controversial research programs, so far the notion of a genetically tailored virus being used as a biological weapon has been confined to science fiction.

A story published in 2015, titled “Seven Kill Tiger,” posited the nightmare scenario of China using such a weapon to wipe out much of Africa.

The corporations that are screwing up your life, tainting your water, polluting your air, buying up your favorite coffee shop and turning it into a gas station, sucking your tax dollars up through subsidies, those corporations are the same ones creating the climate catastrophe.

In fact, The Guardian reported that just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global greenhouse gas emissions. One hundred incredibly rich yet morally bankrupt entities, that is.

These corporations, under the disguise of providing employment include Exxon Mobil, Saudi Aramco, Shell, Chinese and Russian coal, Chevron, BP, CNPC, ConocoPhillips, Gazprom, Lukoil, Total, Petrobas and many others.

It gets even worse. The Carbon Majors Report revealed that more than half of all industrial emissions over the past 30 years were put out by just 25 corporate and state-owned entities.

Twenty-five companies are killing us, smothering us, stealing our futures while choking us (and not the fun kind of consensual choking done in the bedroom. This is the bad kind of choking that results in drought and hurricanes and your dog stuck in a tree!).

Basically, a tiny number of sociopaths make the decisions that are currently dooming us all, and as much as I’d like to tell you otherwise, those people don’t even notice if we all march outside in colorful hats.

Point is, the only protests that create change are those that interrupt the flow of business, because these corporations will not give up easily.

Too much profit rests in the balance for them to stop their prolonged execution of the human race.

The truth is, your daily troubles are connected to the same corporations that are causing the largest existential threat we fleshy apes have ever faced.

The higher-ups at those organizations control our governments, and therefore, our day-to-day lives.

The U.S. Department of State proudly announced the construction of a new U.S. Consulate building @ the cocaine trafficking hub of the Dutch Caribbean colony in Curaçao.

The design is said to be glorifying the local culture and the historic Caribbean architectural context of Curaçao, while enhancing view sheds from the adjacent UNESCO World Heritage zone and honoring the adjusted local planning and development priorities.

This new Consulate will ensure the U.S. platform for diplomacy on Curaçao is positioned to support and be a symbol of cooperation, friendship, and progress for many years to come.

The first U.S. Consulate in Curaçao opened in 1793, laying the foundation of what would become a centuries-old partnership. American vice consuls were officially recognized by the Netherlands after the Consular Convention of 1855 went into effect.

The design of the new Consulate will include photovoltaic panels, sun control and shading devices. These features will contribute to achieving a goal of LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Green Building Program.

The US Drug War @ Curacao is hosted by DEA agents crawling around on the island along the coast of Venezuela framing opposition groups into the abyss?

On September 24, 2009 the Vice Council of the US Consulate General Curacao James Edward Hogan left his home on foot late at night for one of his regular walks.

His wife reported him missing the next morning. Search for Hogan, initially conducted by the US Consulate staff and intelligence agents, began without much publicity. The authorities were notified only when Hogan’s clothes covered with blood were found @ Caracasbaai.

Chances are slim that James Edward Hogan is alive. One of his operative contacts unexpectedly called him the night he went missing, and his mobile phone was found later in the water near the place where he supposedly had been killed.

It is possible that, as it had happened before on Curacao, the assassination was an act of revenge perpetrated by the members of the cartel who had evaded arrest.

Tens of FBI, CIA, and DEA operatives continue to investigate Hogan’s disappearance. Whatever happens, the struggle over dominance over the drug markets will go on.

The local media floated various stories including Hogan’s leaving his wife for another woman, imitating his own death to let his wife get the life insurance payment, or being killed as an act of revenge by the drug mafia with which he allegedly had ties.

The media discovered that Hogan had worked for the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and had served as a trade representative in Africa after receiving additional training. It appeared that – as an operative – he indeed dealt with drug-trafficking groups.

Journalists invoked a recent raid against a drug cartel which supplied cocaine from Colombia to the USA, Middle East, Holland, Belgium, and Denmark. The major operation had been carried out last April by DEA in Curacao and Aruba with the help of the local police.

The 17 people arrested in the case were Colombians, Surinamese, Curacao and Aruba natives, Venezuelans, and Cubans.

As usual, DEA supplied no details concerning the Venezuelan and Cuban members of the group, thus creating a pretext for a media campaign charging Havana and Caracas with involvement in drug trafficking.

Moreover, 4 individuals from Lebanon had also been arrested during the raid, which made it possible for the media to pick up the version that Hezbollah terrorists were getting drugs from their Venezuelan partners.

DEA has tried for a decade but failed to discover any links between Venezuela and Hezbollah’s drug groups, but no doubt new propaganda campaigns targeting Venezuela are in the making.

Motorboats carrying drugs from South America to the Caribbean Islands are a reality, but the truth is that they are registered in Colombia.

DEA is known to green light the drug trafficking under its own control while suppressing the competition in the business highly profitable for the USA (and DEA), which is posed by “unaffiliated” players.

US agencies treat Curacao, Aruba, and Bonaire as their own backyard. For DEA, Hollywood-style episodes with bad cops putting drugs into the pockets of innocent people, etc. are routine practice.

Not surprisingly, some Latin American countries are deporting DEA operatives and refusing to cooperate with the US agency.

The US SOUTHCOM maintains the so-called Forward Operating Locations (FOL’s) on Curacao and Aruba. They are equipped with advanced air and naval surveillance facilities and the electronic equipment capable of intercepting all types of communications.

As a result, the islands are closely watched and the existence of “Independent” criminal groups on them is almost impossible. The new Consulate could serve as the headquarters for all US operations against Venezuela?

Seaports, airfields, banking, the real estate sector, administration, and diplomatic missions on Curacao and Aruba are defenseless against the US monitoring and heavily infiltrated by Washington’s agents.

While DEA is saying that Venezuela and Ecuador are among the leading drug producers, Latin America’s number one drug factory supplying plastic-packaged narcotics to all parts of the world is Colombia.

The country’s extensive drug network employs its own financial centers, carefully maintained routes, corrupt officers at customs checkpoints and in police forces, etc.

This activity would have been impossible without the help of DEA, the secret agency with its own logistics and system of analysis.

Videos showing thousands of confiscated packages containing cocaine are regularly featured on Venezuelan TV channels. The country’s law enforcement agencies became a lot more efficient since the expulsion of DEA.

The U.S. Air Force deployed four aircraft and crews to Curaçao to support enhanced counter-narcotics operations with international partners targeting illicit traffickers in the Caribbean.

Two patrol aircraft, an E-3 Sentry (AWACS) and E-8 Joint STARS (JSTARS), supported by two KC-135 Strato-tanker aerial refueling aircraft, will fly detection and monitoring missions in international airspace.

Approximately 200 airmen, including aircrews, maintenance technicians, logistical and administrative personnel will support the operation. The new underground US Consulate is meant to support the US logistics, while monitoring the much beloved opposition.

What comes to mind when you think of Tyson Foods? A chicken nugget, a big red logo or the co-producer of lab-made meat alternatives @ the cost of $400-$2000 per kg.

How about the largest toxic dead zone in U.S. history? It turns out the meat industry—and corporate giants like Tyson Foods—are directly linked to this environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico, and many others.

Industrial-scale agriculture to support America’s livestock is the number one source of water pollution in the country. But while industrial agriculture to feed animals raised for meat is currently resource-intensive and ecologically destructive, it doesn’t have to be.

Solutions exist which, if adopted, would allow the meat industry and agricultural corporations that sustain it to reduce their impact on water and the planet.

That’s why Mighty Earth has launched the Clean It Up, Tyson campaign in order to hold this industry accountable to our communities and the environment.

Corporations can and should respect the health and well-being of their customers, and the landscapes that allow them to profit.

Considering America’s current political climate, and the increasing severity of environmental problems across the globe, collective action and corporate-targeted campaigns like this one have never been more urgent.

In a country with five times as many livestock animals as humans, it takes a lot of land to grow feed for the meat that ends up on consumers’ plates.

More than a third of America’s agricultural land is dedicated towards the production of corn and soy, but humans consume less than 10% of this, according to Mighty Earth’s campaign report. The vast majority is consumed by livestock.

What many people don’t realize is that this livestock feed production is controlled by a very small number of large and powerful corporations, making huge upstream profits, but creating massive downstream pollution.

These companies—ADM, Bunge, Cargill (often referred to as the ABCs)—don’t have much of a public reputation, as they don’t sell directly to individual consumers.

Under our current regulatory system, they’re also not responsible for their run-off or excess fertilizer use, both of which are classified as “non-point source” pollution.

In other words, soil erosion and run-off from enormous swaths of America’s crop fields are washing into the waterways, and taxpayers shoulder the burden.

These two factors mean that industrial agriculture companies operate with impunity while polluting the land, rivers and oceans.

A recent report by Environmental Working Group found that more than 200 million Americans—more than half of the people in our country—are exposed to contaminated drinking water due to fertilizer pollution.

The estimated clean water costs to taxpayers are more than $2 billion per year. The nitrate and phosphorous in fertilizer that leaches into our drinking water are associated with various types of cancers, birth defects and other health problems.

This burden disproportionately falls on rural communities, whose water treatment systems were not built to deal with the levels of chemicals they’re now facing.

The EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) ordered Pretty Prairie, Kansas, to build a new water treatment plant last year to lower nitrate levels that could cost $2.4 million—well over $3,000 for every person in town,” EWG reported.

Over 85% of the communities with elevated levels of nitrate have no treatment systems in place to remove the contaminant?

Another alarming characteristic of industrial agriculture is that because it’s so intensive, fields are quickly exhausted, and the industry must continuously expand to new areas.

For this reason, the American prairie and grassland ecosystems are being altered faster than the Amazon rain forest.

A recent University of Wisconsin study estimated that this loss of natural grassland “could have emitted as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as 34 coal-fired power plants operating for one year—the equivalent of 28 million more cars on the road,” noted Mighty Earth.

These unique landscapes are among the most threatened in the world, and are irreversibly damaged after conversion into crop fields, often to grow corn and soy.

At a time in our country when public lands are being attacked from many angles, industrial-scale agriculture to support the meat industry is the biggest challenge these ecosystems face.

Luckily, there are a number of simple, cheap and effective ways in which the meat industry could adopt sustainability measures into supply chains to and protect clean water.

For example, currently less than 30% of fertilizer applied to massive industrial-scale crop fields is actually absorbed by the plants. Instead, most of this washes off as fertilizer pollution and contaminates waterways.

This is what has caused the largest dead zone in U.S. history in the Gulf of Mexico. It is currently more than 8,000 square miles, where no marine life can survive due to toxic fertilizer pollution.

By using more precise application methods, farmers could save money on fertilizer, and less of it would contaminate the water.

Additionally, techniques like using cover crops, diversifying crops beyond corn and soy, and limiting tillage are proven ways to reduce soil erosion.

A few months ago, Mighty Earth conducted a comprehensive study into which areas of America are experiencing the worst water contamination from fertilizer pollution (Figure 1), and the most dramatic land conversion into livestock feed crop fields (Figure 2).

This groundbreaking research also identified the agricultural and meat industry corporations most present in these areas. The clear culprit driving these destructive agricultural impacts was identified: Tyson Foods.

The country’s largest meat company, the second largest globally and the pioneer of the industrial meat system, Tyson Foods produces one in every five pounds of meat: more than 20% of all chicken, beef and pork.

They are therefore uniquely placed to drive solutions, incentivize their suppliers to farm more responsibly, and reduce the catastrophic effects that industrial-scale agriculture has on the environment and public health.

Recent commitments from a growing number of food companies like Kellogg’s, General Mills, Walmart, PepsiCo, and even Tyson’s competitor, Smithfield, are showing the way forward,” reported Mighty Earth.

These companies have committed to improve fertilizer and soil-health practices in their U.S. crop supply chains and have launched programs and practices that Tyson and other meat producers can adopt to drive improvements in their supply chains

Tyson Foods has the power to make these changes too, and therefore to change the entire meat industry for the better—and we have the power to ask them to do it.

Tyson’s prior commitments to sustainability are admirable, but don’t go far enough. With the demand for meat rising, and the threats to our environment increasing, the stakes could not be higher.

This issue affects all of us. As far back as 2013, the majority of American waterways were contaminated by fertilizer pollution, according to the EPA.

That’s why Mighty Earth is organizing in communities across the country to ask Tyson to protect our water and our environment.

By signing the petition or making a call to Tyson’s corporate headquarters (you can use our calling script for pointers), you can add your voice to the rising chorus calling for cleaner meat.

Tyson Foods must lead the way to a more sustainable food system and protect the one planet we have.

Israel is the organ harvesting and human trafficking global ringleader, with complicit help from US regime, ISIS and Turkey.

Another related ongoing shameful practice that’s also increasing globally is the harvesting of human organs from war victims and selling them on the black market.

This presentation will focus on this deplorable crime being committed regularly on each of the current war-fronts and beyond, who the profiteering perpetrators are and the beneficiary nations where organs are trafficked.

With the war in Syria still raging in its 10th year, ISIS estimates that at least 18,000 Syrians have had organs removed during the war thus far.

Since the outbreak of war in 2012, 6.5 million people have been displaced within Syria and another 4.8 million have become refugees forced to flee to open-air concentration camps in bordering countries like Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon. About 10% have migrated to Europe.

With another 386,000 estimated dead, that’s 11.7 million humans in Syria who have violently lost their lives or homes – stunningly over half the total prewar population of 22 million Syrians.

All this tragic human horror only occurs because of an overly aggressive, imperialistic US-Israeli foreign policy creating a path of chaos and destruction across the Middle East and North Africa.

Secretly supporting Islamic recruited terroriststo fight US-Israeli proxy wars to illegally overthrow sovereign national governments like Assad’s.

The ruling elite behind the Greater Israel Project deploys US Empire to manufacture unlawful wars and the subsequent largest migration crisis since WW II to willfully and methodically destabilize the world generating such dire human living conditions that expedite formation of a one world government.

The all too common human story is that thousands of Syrians unable to find work trapped in inhumane conditions at migrant refugee camps in adjacent countries have opted to desperately sell their organs in order to support their families.

Parasitic Zionist criminal gangs and international cabal rings opportunistically set up thriving predatory operations exploiting the surplus of war refugees by organizing intricate organ trafficking networks throughout countries like Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt.

Similar to Syrians, Palestinians in Israel have also been known to donate kidneys and other organs to feed their impoverished children. See a pattern here? However, most organs are harvested by special Zionist medical teams, cutting open captured prisoners of war.

Create extreme economic hardship purposely engineered to manipulate desperate parents trying to provide for their families, endangering themselves to give up their own body parts for sorely needed survival money.

According to Dr. Nofal, donors in Turkey can earn $10,000 for a kidney while in war torn Iraq the price may be as low as $1,000 whereas in Syria and Lebanon the going rate for selling a kidney is around $3,000.

More than a half dozen years ago the largest Swedish daily newspaper that Israel engaged in systematic harvesting of organs belonging to Palestinians being killed by the bloodthirsty apartheid government.

Finally the Israeli Defense Forces admitted the illegal practice but insisted that organ harvesting ceased in 1999 and that family permission is now legally secured prior to any harvested organs for transplants.

Meanwhile a number of Palestinian families have registered formal complaints over the years upon observing the returned bodies of their family members conspicuously missing body parts.

A pro-Israeli magazine confirmed that Israel had been routinely stealing Palestinians’ organs for Israeli citizens’ spare parts. Even the pro-Israeli New York Times has called out the Tel Aviv regime for its “disproportionate role” in organ trafficking since 2000.

Israel has tentacles reaching out worldwide, had and still have a pyramid system at work that’s awesome. They have brokers everywhere, bank accounts everywhere; they’ve got recruiters, they’ve got translators, they’ve got travel agents who set up the visas.

Israel’s leading role in the international crime syndicate that is “organized through a local business corporation in conjunction with a leading transplant surgeon, operating out of a major medical center not far from Tel Aviv.

Additional connections include transplant surgeons in Turkey, Russia, Moldova, Estonia, Georgia, Romania, Brazil and New York City.

With Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman originating from the poorest nation in Europe Moldova, it’s no accident that hundreds of Israelis have created a production line that starts in the villages of Moldova, where men today are walking around with one kidney.

Despite organ trafficking being a flagrant international violation of law, Israeli crime rings are still actively harvesting organs from the world’s poorest countries.

Wealthy nations predatory feed off poor nations and corruption at the highest deep state levels ensure that the guilty parties are never brought to justice. Frequently the criminal body snatchers end up not even paying poor donors the quoted price promised.

It bears resemblance to poachers killing endangered species like African hippos and elephants for their ivory tusks or cutting off shark fins and then leaving the animals bleeding to death.

To the traffickers, internal human organs are just another precious commodity worth far more than any donor’s human life.

Returning to the Turkish-Israeli connection in organ harvesting and trafficking, probably the two most notorious gangsters involved in this despicable crime is a highly skilled Turkish surgeon named Ysef Somnez and the Israeli middleman “fixer” Moshe Harel.

Harel has ethnic Turkish ties responsible for matching donor organs with recipients and the electronic transfers of millions upon millions of dollars.

Both of these criminals were actively involved in the extensive Kosovo smuggling operations with the Turkish doctor performing thousands of surgeries on both money starved donors from Moldova, Turkey, Kosovo and Russia and wealthy recipients from Israel, the US, Canada and Germany.

They also have been indicted in Kosovo, Israel, Turkey as well as by Interpol and despite being international fugitives on the run for nearly a decade with both having repeatedly been arrested and then released in Israel and Istanbul, both managed to elude prosecution to remain at large.

Both Erdogan’s Turkish government and Netanyahu’s Israeli government are known to be extremely lax towards enforcing organ harvesting and trafficking laws and it’s believed that both nations with US Empire blessings have sheltered and allowed the crime duo to remain free.

Both Somnez and Harel have cashed in on the Syrian refugee bonanza cutting out Syrian kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs and corneas to make their mass killing in Turkey. After the surgery, young Syrian victims minus their vital organs are cruelly left bleeding to death.

Just as Turkey and Israel have bought up the bulk of stolen black market oil from the terrorists they love, so do they profit from stealing human organs from hospitalized Syrian civilians brought to Turkey for treatment.

Turkish doctors confirmed that out of the 62,000 wounded Syrian civilians and soldiers treated in Turkish hospitals, over 15,600 of them had internal organs removed and were returned dead on arrival to Syria for burial.

The mass murderers Somnez and Harel left their infamous mark in the multi-billion dollar organ trafficking industry in Kosovo, Turkey and Tel Aviv.

Every major war in the last two decades from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya to Ukraine has been visited by bloodthirsty body snatching ghouls out to make a grotesque profit.

The overlapping crime ring fingerprints of the same greedy body snatchers from Israel, Turkey and Kosovo keep surfacing whenever and wherever investigators begin poking around on every war front.

The barbaric crimes of a multi-billion dollar gangster business sanctioned and protected by the likes of Israel, Turkey and the United States is yet one more crime against humanity committed daily by the mass murdering cabal.

Rather than accept the evils of global slavery and organ trafficking perpetrated by power and profit driven psychopaths with total impunity.

The corrupt, criminal victimization of preying on and murdering poor humans to keep a few rich humans alive is morally reprehensible.

The perpetrators need to be held accountable while their victims need justice.

Beam me up is one of the most famous catchphrases from the Star Trek series. It’s the command issued when a character wishes to teleport from a remote location back to the Star-ship Enterprise.

While human teleportation currently exists only in science fiction, teleportation is possible now in the subatomic world of quantum mechanics — albeit not in the way typically depicted on TV.

In the quantum world, teleportation involves the transportation of information, rather than the transportation of matter.

Quantum teleportation involves two distant, entangled particles in which the state of a third particle instantly teleports its state to the two entangled particles.

Last year, scientists confirmed that information could be passed between photons on computer chips even when the photons were not physically linked.

Now, according to National Science Foundation-funded research by University of Rochester and Purdue University scientists, teleportation may also be possible between electrons.

In a paper published in Nature Communications and one to appear in Physical Review X, the researchers, including Rochester physicists John Nichol and Andrew Jordan, explore new ways of creating quantum-mechanical interactions between distant electrons.

The research is an important step in improving quantum computing, the scientists say, and has the potential to revolutionize technology, medicine and science by providing faster and more efficient processors and sensors.

Quantum teleportation is a demonstration of what Albert Einstein famously called spooky action at a distance — also known as quantum entanglement.

In entanglement, one of the basic of concepts of quantum physics, the properties of one particle affect the properties of another, even when the particles are separated by a large distance.
