DNA:
Pirates of the Sacred Spiral
By Dr. Len Horowitz
Chapter 4.
The Pirates’ Position on DNA
“The artist may be well advised
to keep his work to himself till it is completed,
because no one can readily help him or advise him with it . . .
but the scientist is wiser not to withhold
a single finding or a single conjecture from publicity. ”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,
Essay on Experimentation
If you knew a treasure was buried close by, but pirates held the only
map to it, you would hardly expect them to simply hand the
secret intelligence over to you. They would most likely do whatever possible to keep the treasure’s value secret and precise
whereabouts hidden. Indeed, this treasure—DNA—holds the
power over life and death. Those who have controlled it have
gained great wealth and power, and the pirates are currently in a
position of stealth strength.
The most responsible way to tell “all about DNA” is from
both sides of the debate. We could simply regurgitate what has
been stated and repeated ad nauseam regarding DNA, its structure, and alleged primary function of directing the assembly of
new life from DNA-copied RNA, and protein synthesis at ribosomes—protein assembly stations, but given the previous three
chapters of introduction we would not want to disappoint you.
Nor would we want to remain remiss by withholding the whole
truth.
Alternatively, DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral presents
the following discussions taking into account what has been said
about DNA by the world’s leading representatives of the subject—Rockefeller University and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory spokespersons. We will, however, intersperse facts that are
missing, commentaries, and critique providing more advanced
science and political perspectives.
For these discussions we will refer to DNA-related “propaganda” featured in the public and scientific domains by these two
most authoritative collaborating sources of intelligence in this
field. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Rockefeller University, both in New York, are well known by DNA investigators as
being the first and foremost citadels for this fare. The authenticity of their material is easily validated by visiting their online
presentations and papers.
For those yet to be familiar with Dr. Horowitz’s earlier books,
Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? and Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse, both of
these institutions require a bit of introduction. So we will begin
here to relay “all about DNA.”
Pioneering DNA Research at Cold Spring Harbor
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSH), according to their
advertising, “is a research and educational institution.” For more
than a century, the laboratory has conducted research programs
“focusing on cancer, neurobiology, plant genetics, genomics and
bioinformatics.” It espouses a broad educational mission, including the recently established Watson School of Biological Sciences,” and the Dolan DNA Learning Center (DNALC) for the
dissemination of public information—what you might consider
after reading this book “promotional propaganda.”
According to CSH’s “100 Year History,” their Biological
Laboratory was established in 1890 by John D. Jones, the son of
John H. The Jones family had diversified their holdings earned
initially at sea in shipping and whaling to continue “amassing a
sizable fortune” directing the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company.
The Jones family was well-positioned, and also prolific. John
H. Jones, founder of the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Company and father of the Biological Laboratory’s initial patron John D.
Jones, had 84 first cousins. Eugene G. Blackford, a founder of the
Biological Laboratory, introduced to the fish market Red Snapper, which was named for him (Neomaenis blackfordi).
For more than 100 years, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSH) in New York, intimately collaborating with Rockefeller University, has researched cancer, neurobiology, plant genetics, and human genomics. The above lists a few more institutional
affiliates. The complete list presented on this Dolan DNA Learning Center (DNALC)
website provides a virtual “who’s who” in the world of DNA analysis, biotechnology,
and genetic engineering. The DNALC for the dissemination of public information is
the chief propaganda arm of CSH and the genetics industry.
DNALC’s website takes you to virtually every major “Genome Center” throughout the world including notables such as the U.S. Department of Energy Human
Genome Program, the National Human Genome Research Institute, Stanford Human
Genome Center, Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research, Howard Hughes
Medical Institute, The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) featured later for its
leading “pirates,” Amgen, Inc.—”the world’s largest biotech firm,” and the BioSpace
Bioscience Company Directory—listing “over 400 biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies, with company profiles, news, and links to corporate web sites.” See:
www.DNALC.org/
By the late 19th century, Eugene Blackford, a fishery commissioner of New York State, “was instrumental in persuading
members of the Jones family to apply their unused assets to the
service of modern science. In 1882, several acres of land and an
abandoned woolen mill at the head of the harbor were ceded to
New York State as the site of a hatchery for the culture of salt
and fresh water species.
“In 1889, Blackford aided Brooklyn Institute President Franklin Hooper in securing from John D. Jones a second gift of land
and several derelict Bungtown buildings to found the Biological
Laboratory. The first General Course in Biology, begun on July
7, 1890, was actually taught at the fish hatchery; however, within
several years a whaling warehouse (now Wawepex Building)
was outfitted with a darkroom, workrooms, and lecture rooms.
“In 1898, Charles Davenport, a professor of evolutionary
biology at Harvard University, [and infamous leader of the international eugenics movement] became director of the Biological
Laboratory. Over the next several years, he introduced a series
of courses that investigated ‘the normal variation of animals in
the harbor, lakes, and woods, and the production of abnormalities, . . .’”
For many years Davenport (See figure 4.2.), directed three
institutions at Cold Spring Harbor: “the Biological Laboratory,
the Carnegie Department of Experimental Evolution, and the
Eugenics Record Office.” [Emphasis added.]
“Darwin’s theory dealt with large populations of living things
and did not explain how traits are passed from one generation to
the next. It was the Austrian monk Gregor Mendel who brought
the hereditary process down to the individual organism and provided a hereditary mechanism to drive evolution.
“Gregor Mendel, died in 1884, more than a decade and a half
before the importance of his work was understood. His paper,
Experiments in Plant Hybridization, published in 1865, provided
the basis for the mathematical analysis of inheritance. From results of controlled crosses of garden peas, he formulated laws to
explain how traits are passed from one generation to the next as
discreet bits of genetic information. He showed that the expression of a pair of contrasting physical characteristics is controlled
by a pair of genes, one of which is donated by each parent.
Professor Charles Davenport,
Eugenics Pioneer and Director of CSH
By the early 1900s, prominent
American and European industrialists, including the Carnegies, Vanderbilts, Morgans, and
Rockefellers, envisioned a world
in which social and political
pressures brought by the proletariat might be efficiently managed through various methods
of population control. On behalf
of common interests shared by
the Royal Families of Britain and
Germany, they heavily funded
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
and its director, Charles Davenport, a pioneer in the “science”
of eugenics. Davenport et. al.,
professed conditions such as
“feeblemindedness,” alcoholism, poverty, and shyness were caused by damaged genes. They
effectively persuaded American, and later German political leaders,
to enact eugenic laws for “ethnic cleansing” and “racial hygiene”
that contributed to the rise of the Jewish and Black genocides of
the Twentieth Century. See: www.DNALC.org/
“Although Mendel was a contemporary of Darwin, his work
lay fallow, unrecognized until the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1900, Hugo de Vries of the University of Amsterdam and Carl Correns of the University of Tübingen rediscovered Mendel’s
paper and published research that confirmed his earlier work.
“The year following the rediscovery of Mendel’s paper, Andrew Carnegie sold his Pittsburgh steel mills to J.P. Morgan for
an estimated $400 million. Believing that “the man who dies thus
rich dies disgraced,” he established the Carnegie Institution of
Washington as one of several philanthropies through which to
divest himself for an honorable death. [Meaning he, thus, kept
his vast fortune and estate properties tax free and under family control.] The Carnegie Institution and John D. Rockefeller’s
Institute for Biomedical Research, founded the same year, were
the nation’s major sustained sources of support for the basic biological research during the first four decades of the 20th century.
[Emphasis added.]
“Learning that the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods
Hole had approached the newly-formed Carnegie Institution for
support, Charles Davenport quickly counter-proposed the establishment of a field station “to investigate experimentally the
origin of species” at Cold Spring Harbor. Davenport’s proposal
succeeded, and he became the first director of the Carnegie Institution’s Station for Experimental Evolution, while also retaining
leadership of the adjacent Biological Laboratory [and Eugenics
Record Office].
“. . . The renaming of the Carnegie operation as the Department of Genetics, in 1921, signaled the completion of the
transition from experimental evolution to modern genetics. . . .
Carnegie researchers logged almost immediate success. George
Shull, who was among the first full-time staff members appointed
by Davenport, began breeding experiments with corn in 1905. .
. . His results, published in 1908, demonstrated the phenomenon
of ‘hybrid vigor’ and formed the basis of modern agricultural
genetics.
“At the same time Davenport and Shull were initiating research at Cold Spring Harbor, Thomas Hunt Morgan was setting up his ‘fly-room’ at Columbia University. Trained as an
experimental evolutionist, Morgan started breeding experiments
with the fruitfly, Drosophila, which proved an ideal organism
for genetic studies. Over the course of a decade and a half, Morgan and his astoundingly bright cadre of graduate students used
linkage—analysis of the co-inheritance of traits—to demonstrate
that genes are in a linear arrangement on the chromosome. Their
1915 book, The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity, provided the
major theoretical basis of modern genetics.
“The work of Thomas Hunt Morgan established the fruit fly
as a workhorse of genetics research. Calvin B. Bridges, who was
among Morgan’s most brilliant students, spent several summers
at Cold Spring Harbor, and was a staff member of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington until his death in 1938 at the age of 49.
In 1954, an unprecedented
U.S. Congressional investigation into tax-exempt
foundations identified the
Rockefeller and Carnegie
Foundations engagement
in a globalist agenda. The
Committee stumbled upon
the rewriting of American
history by the Rockefeller
and Carnegie oligarchy.
Norman Dodd, Research
Director for the Congressional Committee, found
the following stunning statement of insidious purpose in
the archives of the Carnegie
Endowment: “The only way to maintain control of the population was to obtain
control of education in the U.S. They realized this was a prodigious
task so they approached the Rockefeller Foundation with the suggestion that they go in tandem and that the portion of education
which could be considered as domestically oriented be taken over
by the Rockefeller Foundation and that portion which was oriented
to International matters be taken over by the Carnegie Endowment.
“The opportunity for a busman’s holiday in a bucolic setting made Cold Spring Harbor a summer destination for American geneticists. Nettie Stevens of Bryn Mawr College was in
residence during the summer of 1906, continuing research published the previous year demonstrating that sex is determined
by Mendelian inheritance of distinctive X and Y chromosomes.
Calvin Bridges, one of Morgan’s brilliant students at Columbia,
spent the summer at Cold Spring Harbor during 1914, the year
of publication of his seminal paper explaining the inheritance
of a sex-linked trait and locating a specific gene on a specific
chromosome.
“In 1916, Carnegie scientist Clarence C. Little was among
the first scientists to demonstrate a genetic component of cancer. He found that Japanese “waltzing” mice were susceptible to
transplanted sarcomas, while other strains were almost entirely
resistant. After leaving Cold Spring Harbor in 1923, he later became a founder of the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine,
which was to become the nation’s primary supplier of purebred
mice for research.
“Carnegie scientist Clarence C. Little, became director of the
American Cancer Society for 16 years. This line of research was
continued at Cold Spring Harbor by E. Carleton MacDowell,
who in 1928 discovered a strain of mice, C58, which invariably
succumbed to spontaneous leukemia. He went on to breed numerous strains of mice with increased resistance or susceptibility
to cancer. Little’s and MacDowell’s mouse strains, and numerous genetic combinations derived from them, proved essential to
modern cancer research.
“Davenport was among the group of scientists who turned
their attention to human genetics. In 1907, he worked out the
inheritance of eye color, and later described the genetics of hair
and skin color. He became a major proponent of the eugenics
movement, the goal of which was the application of genetics for
the betterment of humankind.
“In 1910, Davenport persuaded Mrs. E.H. Harriman to devote
a fraction of her late husband’s railroad [and banking] fortune to
eugenics research. She purchased 75 acres of property on which
she established the Eugenics Record Office, adjacent to the Carnegie station. Davenport assembled a human trait handbook and
over a period of 15 years trained more than 250 field workers
to collect [human] pedigree data. House-to-house surveys and
examination of patients’ records in hospitals, prisons, and mental
institutions yielded information that resulted in approximately
750,000 genetic records on file.
A 1905 picture of the
Carnegie Building at
Cold Spring Harbor.
The building held the archives of the laboratory,
including books, papers,
correspondence, and
photographs relating
to the “scientific” work
of eugenics on behalf
of leading industrialists who were concerned that overpopulation of “dysgenic” people
might challenge their socioeconomic and political agendas. Today,
the archives support the research of scholars from around the world
who, in keeping with CSH’s political biases, and population control
agendas of their funding industrialists, continue to collect and disseminate materials (largely propaganda) relating to the contributions of leading geneticists.
“Davenport’s application of Mendelian genetics contributed
to the understanding of a number of physical disabilities, such as color blindness, Huntington’s chorea, and epilepsy, that are
caused by a defect in a single gene. However, he and other eugenicists grossly oversimplified the analysis of complex behaviors that are influenced by many genes [along with psychosocial
programming]. They crossed the line into science fiction when
they claimed to show the Mendelian inheritance of traits such as
feeblemindedness, pauperism, shyness, moral control, nomadism, and shiftlessness. They also tended toward heavy-handed
preaching about what constituted the right genetic stuff and
admonished that carriers of serious genetic defects should not
reproduce. [That is, should be coercively sterilized. Emphasis
added.]
“At its best, the American eugenics movement contributed
the first basic understanding of humans as genetic organisms.
At its worst, it was self-righteously bigoted. [Author’s question:
Is bigoted worse than genocidal?] Regardless [easy for them to
write; less easy for victims’ families to accept], American eugenicists were pronounced guilty by association with the radical brand of inhumane genetic improvement that arose in fascist Europe during the 1930s. The Eugenics Record Office was closed
in 1940 [as those who funded it, along with “Hitler’s” racial
programs, felt embarrassed and politically compelled to continue
more discretely their selective depopulation programs. Emphasis
added.]
Among the founders and early patrons of eugenics “were such
notable American entrepreneurs as Walter Jennings and George
Pratt, founders of the Standard Oil Company; J.P. Morgan, the
banker; Marshall Field III, the Chicago storekeeper; William K.
Vanderbilt, whose family built a fortune on the Staten Island
Ferry and the New York Central Railroad; Louis Tiffany, whose
stained glass creations were already legendary, and national celebrities including Fred Astaire and George Gershwin.”
“The membership applied its wealth and enthusiasm with
remarkable results, . . . The Laboratory’s first full-time investigator, Hugo Fricke, did some of the earliest work on the effect of
X-rays on living cells. [In other words, x-rays were used to cause
genetic damage in various species including select human “volunteers.”] Reginald Harris became the Biological Laboratory’s
first full-time director in 1924. No stranger to the institution, he
had come to Cold Spring Harbor as a summer researcher in 1918
and married Davenport’s daughter Jane in 1922. . . . In 1930,
resident endocrinologists drew national attention when adrenal
cortical hormone purified at Cold Spring Harbor was used as
the first cure for Addison’s disease. [Author’s note: It is widely
known that the adrenal hormone cited, ACTH, rather than “cure”
Addison’s disease, merely serves as a replacement for the natural
hormone with certain side-effects. Diffuse hyperplasia, that is,
excessive growth of the adrenal cortex, and in many instances
tumor development, results from ACTH administration. Moreover, the interest in this disease and so-called “cure,” given their
eugenics funding and research focus, was likely associated with
Addison’s disease patients development of black skin pigmentation due to their primary hormone insufficiency. These eugenic researchers would have certainly been interested in developing
a “cure” for black skinned people.]
“Harris saw that the rapid influx of ideas from chemistry,
physics and mathematics was splintering biology into a number of subdisciplines. Thus, in 1933, he organized the first Cold
Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology as a means
to increase dialogue between the various scientific factions. . . .
Pictured here is the non-denomination chapel at
Jekyll Island, Georgia.
The arched glass picture
window boasts eugenics
supporter Louis Tiffany’s
own stained-glass mural
dedicated to his unique
benefactors parishioners
that, according to the
inscription, were granted
Divine authority to control
the world’s wealth. These
eugenics supporters and
Cold Spring Harbor Labs
benefactors included
some of the world’s
leading banking, energy,
and transportation
industrialists. They
gathered here to plan
the formation of the U.S.
Federal Reserve Bank.
Most people today falsely believe that Congress “created” the
Federal Reserve. The 1913 “Act” that Congress “passed,” and
President Woodrow Wilson signed into law, was authored by this
select group of private industrialists who met in deep secrecy and
prayed in this chapel. Present were the following bankers and
eugenics/CSH patrons: Frank Vanderlip, President of National
City Bank of New York; Henry P. Davidson, senior partner of J. P.
Morgan Company; and Charles D. Norton, President of Morgan’s
First National Bank of New York. These three powerful bankers
invited Mr. Paul Moritz Warburg of M. M. Warburg Company of
Hamburg, Germany, which was the chief German representative
of the European banking family, the Rothschilds. Mr. Warburg
masterminded the entire document that we recognize today as the
Federal Reserve Act. As a partner of Kuhn, Loeb and Company Bank
of New York, he searched for a title that would not alert Congress
as to the true intent of the document he had prepared. He used the
word “Federal” in the title which gave the false impression that this
document involved the Federal Government.
“The merit of Harris’s idea was apparent, and the Rockefeller
Foundation began long-term support of the Symposium the following year. The Cold Spring Harbor Symposium has continued annually, except for a three-year hiatus during World War
II.” During that war, the Rockefellers, their family-controlled
Standard Oil Company, and their European partners most leading
CSH patrons, heavily funded Hitler and his Nazi eugenicists as
will be discussed in greater detail later. (See figure 4.5 for additional interesting discussion.)
The Dolan DNA “Learning” Center
The Dolan DNA Learning Center (DNALC) is an operating unit of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and “the world’s first
science center devoted entirely to public genetics education,”
according to its promotions. (See www.DNALC.org/.) The “official mission” of this organization, “approved by the Cold Spring
Harbor Laboratory Board of Trustees,” was stated as follows:
The DNALC extends the Laboratory’s traditional research
and postgraduate education mission to the college, precollege, and public levels. Its multidisciplinary staff has experience in elementary, secondary, and collegiate instruction;
biochemistry and molecular biological research; design,
photography, and fine arts; science journalism; public relations and development; and opinion research [i.e., polling
for public persuasion]. Federal grants provide about half of
the DNALC’s annual operating budget of nearly $2,500,000,
with the balance provided by foundations, individuals, program fees, and royalties.
The social imperative [Author’s note: the word imperative
implies society could not exist without “genetics research”even though humanity had thrived for millennia without
it] of genetics research demands the development of educational resources to build a genetically literate public that
supports basic biological research [i.e., mass persuasion
on behalf of the genetic pharmaceutical industry and related
political agendas], understands elements of personal genetic
health, and participates effectively in policy issues involving
genetic technology and information. The goals of the DNA
Learning Center are:
· To serve as a clearinghouse for information on DNA science, genetic medicine, and biotechnology.
· To provide an interactive learning environment for students, teachers, and nonscientists.
· To explore and develop new instructional technologies to
make DNA science accessible to the public, and especially,
young people.
· To train educators for laboratory-based teaching in genetics.
· To extend enrichment activities to under-served populations — including minorities, the disabled, the economically
disadvantaged, and those living in rural/non-urban areas.
· To provide a forum for public discussion of personal,
social, and ethical implications of DNA science.
A tour of DNALC’s website takes you to virtually every major Genome Center throughout the world including notables such
as the Department of Energy Human Genome Program, the National Human Genome Research Institute, Stanford Human Genome Center, Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research,
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, The Institute for Genomic
Research (TIGR) to be discussed later in relation to the privatizing of the Human Genome Project, Amgen, Inc.—“the world’s
largest biotech firm,” and BioSpace Bioscience Company Directory—“a listing of over 400 biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies, with company profiles, news, and links to corporate
web sites.” All in all, visitors to the DNALC, a “nonprofit” entity,
can quickly conclude the organization operates successfully as
a virtual mouthpiece—the principle propaganda arm—for the
worldwide genetic biotechnology industry.
Eugenics Information from the DNALC
Eugenics is defined as the “scientific investigation of genetic
differences between the races.” It includes the genetic predisposition for diseases that people of varying races and ethnicities may
have. Curiously, the following discussion regarding eugenics,
sources from the DNALC website. It conveys highly pertinent
history regarding The Pirates of the Sacred Spiral, such as the
central role played by CSH patrons including J.P. Morgan, John
D. Rockefeller, the Carnegies, the Vanderbilts along with leading
eugenics investigators such as Charles Davenport.
You may wonder why the DNALC, operating in the best
interests of its corporate, institutional, and individual sponsors,
would broach this controversial and embarrassing topic at all, let
alone feature it on its website. The answer is well known in social
psychology, behavioral science, and advertising. Technically it is
called a “double-sided message.”
Since previous authors, including Dr. Horowitz, Stephan
Kuhl, John Loftus and Mark Aarons, Joseph Borkin, Paul Manning, and others, published books and numerous articles in recent
decades exposing previously secreted eugenics records, the “cat
was let out of the bag.” CSH could ill afford to keep quiet about
their “red herring.” Slyly they developed the following treatment of the subject which barely blemishes their reputation. The
double-sided message is, “Sure we did this, but we’re really great
people otherwise!” Here’s how they worded it:
Examine the Chronicle of how society dealt with mental illness and other “dysgenic” traits in the final installment of our
newest website: DNA Interactive. Meet four individuals who
became objects of the eugenic movement’s zeal to cleanse
society of “bad” genes during the first half of the 20th century. Then meet a modern-day heroine for a personal account
of mental illness and the lesson it holds for living in the gene
age.
A second more obvious reason eugenics is allowed to be featured by the DNALC is due to the power its patrons wield in forming the mass mind. How many people, after all, visit their website for information about eugenics—a socially accepted form of genocide? How many people have even heard of the word “eugenics?” This author has done an informal poll. Not many! Especially compared to the populations exposed to mainstream media propaganda that effectively forms the mass mindset of public opinion about the “urgent need” for genetic engineering for evolutionary enrichment in a frantic climate of alleged “overpopulation.” Really, the DNALC, CSH, the U.S. Department of Energy, and their directors in the Anglo-American economic community, have nothing to fear. They can, thus, afford to be brazen.
In fact, the opening line of their eugenics fluff relays the most salient point of these authors’ position. Here’s their article:
“The philosopher George Santayana said, ‘Those who cannot
remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ This adage is appropriate to our current rush into the ‘gene age,’ which has striking parallels to the eugenics movement of the early decades of
the 20th century. Eugenics was, quite literally, an effort to breed
better human beings by encouraging the reproduction of people
with ‘good’ genes and discouraging those with ‘bad’ genes. Eugenicists effectively lobbied for social legislation to keep racial
and ethnic groups separate, to restrict immigration from southern
and eastern Europe, and to sterilize people considered ‘genetically unfit.’ Elements of the American eugenics movement were
models for the Nazis, whose radical adaptation of eugenics culminated in the Holocaust.”[Emphasis added. Notice the word
“radical” is comfortably placed above to distinguish between Hitler’s ilk, and those eugenicists in America funded by CSH
patrons that also, as you will learn more, funded Hitler and his
Third Reich.]
“We now invite you to experience the unfiltered story of
American eugenics primarily through materials from the Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor, which was the center of American eugenics research from 1910-1940.” [Emphasis
added.]
This allegation of “unfiltered” truth contradicts, in fact, what
the institutes’s own disclaimer. It reads: “During a two-year review process, involving a 14-member Advisory Panel, this site
has developed an editorial policy to protect personal privacy and
confidentiality. For this reason, names and places have been deleted from pedigrees, medical documents, and personal photographs.”
Okay! So there is some filtering. Let’s continue. . . .
“In the Archive you will see numerous reports, articles,
charts, and pedigrees that were considered scientific ‘facts’ in
their day. It is important to remind yourself that the vast majority
of eugenics work has been completely discredited. In the final
analysis, the eugenic description of human life reflected political
and social prejudices, rather than scientific facts.” [Emphasis
was added here because this statement reveals a potential liability, possible lethality, in contemporary genetic research as well
as century old eugenics—that is, political and social prejudices.
Have political and social prejudices changed dramatically since
the time of Hitler? If they had, America and its allies would have
no justification for its myriad wars. Keep this in mind as you
read the following section concerning the powerful political and
economic forces behind the eugenics movement. Ask yourself,
“Are current genetic science endeavors susceptible to the same,
or similar set of socioeconomic, and more importantly, political
forces?”
Social Origin of Eugenics
“You may find some of the language and images in this
Archive offensive,” Professor Allen began. “Even supposedly
‘scientific’ terms used by eugenicists were often pervaded with
prejudice against racial, ethnic, and disabled groups. Some terms
have no scientific meaning today. For example, ‘feeblemindedness’ was used as a catchall for a number of real and supposed
mental disabilities, and was a common ‘diagnosis’ used to make
members of ethnic and racial minority groups appear inferior. However, we have made no attempt to censor this documentary
record to do so would distort the past and diminish the significance of the lessons to be learned from this material.
“When many people first learn about eugenics, they wonder how intelligent people, including highly educated scientists,
could have believed so many seemingly bizarre ideas. How could
anyone accept the simplistic notion that complex human behaviors are determined by single genes or that mental tests designated more than three/fourths of all Russian and Polish immigrants
to the U.S. as feeble minded?
“To understand why eugenics gained such a following in the
first three decades of the 20th century, one needs to examine the
economic, social, and political context in which it flourished.
Science, or what is claimed to be science, is a product of culture—like any other human activity. What seems in hindsight to
be naive or absurd, must have seemed reasonable in its own era.
This is especially true when scientific ideas are used to explain
social problems.
“American eugenics developed in the wake of turbulent economic and social problems following the Civil War. The rapid
growth of American industry, coupled with the increased mechanization of agriculture, created the first major migration away
from farms, and cities expanded faster than adequate housing.
Wholesale exploitation of labor created militant labor union organizations. Price fluctuations bankrupted many businesses and
precipitated a series of depressions, starting in 1873, and reoccurring about every decade through the early 1900s. This further
fueled labor unrest. The situation was made worse by an ever increasing tide of immigrants, mostly from southern and eastern
Europe, which peaked just before, and again after, World War I.
“Social Darwinism had attempted to explain away social and
economic inequalities as the ‘survival of the fittest.’ However, by
the turn of the century, this simplistic idea had been turned on
its head. A declining birthrate among the wealthy and powerful
indicated that the captains of industry were, in fact, losing the struggle for existence. The working class not only was organizing against them, but they were also out reproducing them. At
the same time, traditional approaches to solving the problems
of the urban poor—charity, social work, and religious institutions—were proving of little help.” [Emphasis added. Author’s
note: These conditions persist today except for the fact that many
modern ailments, arguably all man-made, mass medication, and
unprecedented levels of media distractions, have effectively placated the populations of developed nations, while plagues such
as AIDS have effectively ravaged most underdeveloped countries]
“Solving the new problems of industrialization demanded a
change from laissez-faire to managed capitalism—toward the increased role of government and planning in the economic and social sphere. This new philosophy became known as progressivism.
Embedded in progressivism was the idea of scientific management—long-range planning by university-trained experts. This
new managerial class became increasingly vital to the economic
process. In a country that had nurtured a reverence for invention,
the use of scientific management [i.e., sophisticated “population
control.”] had a special appeal. Progressive reformers had a
strong faith in science as the cure-all that would herald in a new
era of rational control of both nature and human society. Under
these conditions, it is not surprising that the revelations of a new
science of genetics gave birth to a new science of social engineering—eugenics.”[Emphasis and clarification added.]
This allegedly frank discussion of eugenics—a pseudo-scientific genocidal movement that came, and supposedly vanished,
following Hitler’s disgrace, is reminiscent of an annual report
published in 1968 by CSH and Rockefeller affiliated Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation. It may be recalled from Emerging Viruses:
AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident of Intentional? (Horowitz,
1998), that Sloan had labored for years as the Chief Executive
Officer for the Royal-Family-of-England-controlled General Motors Corporation. As the Second World War was winding down, Sloan joined the board of directors of New York City’s Memorial
Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases that had collaborated
with researchers at CSH. Soon thereafter, Sloan founded the
Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research to administer the
hospital’s research activities. In 1968, Everett Case, Sloan Foundation president, articulated the seriousness of this time using
virtually the same language used by Professor Allen to describe
the socio-political correlates and antecedents for eugenics. Case
wrote:
The multiplication and growth of many of our besetting
social problems seem all too reminiscent of the behavior of
the cancerous cell. Who would have predicted at the beginning of this decade that racism would infect and inflame the
minds of even a vocal minority of the Negroes who, in this
country, have been its principal victims? Who would have
foretold the rise in resort to violence not only among the
swelling ranks of the criminals but also as a means of social
protest and even as a weapon of dissent?(Case, 1968)
Case’s next paragraphs were most enlightening and relevant
to this eugenics/genocidal agenda discussion:
More effective techniques for the control of population
growth are at hand. The genetic code has been deciphered,
and the elements of DNA can now be made synthetically. So,
too, the hundreds of young scientists who have earned Sloan
fellowships in basic research have made important contributions to our understanding of both the macrocosm and the
microcosm.
It is different when one leaves the laboratory or the field
experiment, and the disciplined minds they attract, for the
sprawling, clamorous, and slippery problems which confront, say, the President of the United States or the Mayor of
New York City. It is easy to ascribe outbreaks of urban violence to the intolerable conditions of the ghettos. It is easy
to ascribe those conditions to the neglect or apathy of the
landlords, to the massive immigration of unskilled and disadvantaged Negroes from the South, to the cupidity of the real
estate operators and the building trades, or to the ineptitude
and corruption of city officials. It is much harder to get at the
root causes of such phenomena, and even more difficult to
discover and apply effective cures. . . .
Science . . .whatever its problems, including the apprehension of a popular revulsion against its untoward consequences, it is clear that science is an enterprise too dynamic to be
“turned off” if we would, and too fundamental to our security and our economy to be abandoned if we could. Certainly
the search for the causes and possible cures of cancer must
be accelerated, not brought to a halt. Together with technology, engineering and management, moreover, science has
an indispensable role to play in any effective assault society
may launch upon the stubborn complexities of our urban
problems.(Case, 1968)
Dr. Horowitz concluded from this, and other related documents, (Horowitz, 1998) that the Sloan Foundation then implemented special grant programs. These were consistent with the
COINTELPRO’s (Black Nationalist Hate Group) campaign
against Black Americans. It was allegedly instituted to dissuade
Black America against violent revolution. It also refined resources channeled to the Black underclass consistent with the targeted
objectives of National Security Memorandum 46, for “public
management,” as discussed previously by Horowitz (2001). Assuredly, these programs and governmental policies fulfilled Alfred P. Sloan’s goal to take advantage of people’s “ignorance of
the principles of capitalism and free enterprise.” This opportunity included the genocidal capability of the medical industrial
complex that included genetic engineering, cancer research, and
other iatrogenic (man-made, drug-induced) forms of population
control. Consider these parallels as well as you read further in
Allen’s official eugenics essay.
Professor Allen continued, “Genetics appeared to explain the
underlying cause of human social problems—such as pauperism,
feeblemindedness, alcoholism, rebelliousness, nomadism, criminality, and prostitution—as the inheritance of defective germ
plasm. Eugenicists argued that society paid a high price by allowing the birth of defective individuals who would have to be cared
for by the [corporate] state [which also risked heightened proletariat and ethnic revolts] Sterilization of one defective adult
could save future generations thousands of dollars.[Clarifications
added.]
“Eugenicists and their wealthy supporters also shared a mutual antipathy for political radicalism and class struggle. They
were alarmed by the increasing strength of militant labor unions
and the rise of the American socialist party, especially after the
success of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. These movements
were, to some extent, correctly judged to be associated with
immigrants from southern Europe, especially Italians, eastern
Europeans, and Jews. These new immigrants were seen as troublemakers, and the eugenicists purported to have data showing
that the problem was in their genes. The solution to the problem
was simple—selective immigration restriction [sterilization, and
other forms of “racial hygiene”].
“Eugenics was seen as a way to solve all of these combined
problems because it placed the cause in the defective germ plasm
of individuals and ethnic groups, and not in the structure of society itself. Eugenics used the cover of science to blame the victims
for their own problems. Eugenicists seemed to have the weight of
rigorous, quantitative, and thus scientific evidence on their side.
To those with economic and social power—and imbued with the
new spirit of scientific planning—eugenicists appeared to offer
a rational and efficient approach of treating social problems.
[Emphasis and clarification added.]
“In an era troubled by rapid and seemingly chaotic change,
eugenics offered the prospect of a planned, gradual, and smooth
transition to a more harmonious future. With its emphasis on
planned breeding, eugenics provided the biological counterpart
to new theories of scientific control and rational management
in business. Just as a new group of professional managers was
making a place for itself in American economic life, eugenicists
emerged as scientists with a special expertise in the solution of
perennial social problems. Eugenics provided what seemed to offer an objective, scientific approach to problems that previously
had been cast almost wholly in subjective, humanitarian terms.
Whereas charity and state welfare had treated only symptoms,
eugenics promised to attack social problems at their roots.”
Rockefeller University’s Rockefeller Archive Center
A brisk click on the link Rockefeller Archive Center from
Professor Allen’s lead page brings you to a Rockefeller University site that features the words “Visit the New Virtual Exhibit: Seeking the Secret of Life: The DNA Story in New York.”
Figure 4.6 documents curious close associations between Cold
Spring Harbor (CSH), Rockefeller University, and on the other
side of the DNA double helix graphic, symbols for the Royal
bloodline—the British Royal Crown and the British Royalty’s
Lion. This might strike you as odd. Rockefellers are little known
to be related to European royalty.[ I looked everywhere available to me for the image in the book, they do not want us to find that connection dc ]
From this welcoming page visitors may enter the virtual exhibit, and tour its “rooms,” conveniently directed by a strip of
DNA.
What is DNA?
“Somehow, every point in the structure of nucleic acids was
reached with great difficulty by the paths of error and controversy,” stated Phoebus A.T. Levene, among the earliest geneticists
at Rockefeller Labs, in the opening text of the website.
The tour moves to explain that “DNA is a complex molecule
containing life’s instructions." Today DNA is a household word.
The daily news is filled with stories about DNA profiling, DNA
testing for inherited diseases and the development of gene therapy, genetically modified foods, and the biotechnology industry.
Fifty years ago scientists worked out the chemical structure of
the DNA molecule: one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. But one hundred years ago, chemists were
just beginning to isolate and analyze the molecules that lie within
the nuclei of cells.
Chemical Definitions and DNA Structure
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Phoebus A.T. Levene
examined how DNA’s four nucleotide components are linked
together. This work was completed much later by James Watson
and Francis Crick at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge,
England. Using x-ray crystallography, they showed that DNA
is shaped like a twisted ladder. Alternating sequences of DNA’s
building blocks, they noted, were strung together in a double
helix. These blocks were named nucleotides. They consist of a
deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen
bases—adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
Phosphates and sugars of adjacent nucleotides link to form the
long DNA crystal polymer. Experiments showed that the ratios
of A-to-T and G-to-C in DNA are constant throughout life. Figure 4.7 presents this graphically.
The alternating deoxyribose and phosphate molecules form
the twisted uprights of the DNA ladder. Complementary pairs of
nitrogen bases form the rungs of the ladder whereby A is always
paired with T and G always paired with C.
Due to the “obligatory pairing of adenine-to-thymine and
guanine-to-cytosine, Watson and Crick proposed that one half of
the DNA ladder serves as a template for recreating the other half
during DNA replication. By 1958, two lines of evidence came
together to provide proof of this hypothesis. First, an enzyme
was discovered—DNA polymerase—that adds complementary
nucleotides to the template provided by a half DNA molecule.
“Second, an ingenious experiment used nitrogen isotopes to
follow the construction of new DNA molecules during successive generations of bacteria. This showed that one strand of each
DNA molecule is passed along unchanged to each of two daughter cells. This ‘conserved’ strand acts as the template for DNA
polymerase to synthesize a second complementary strand, which
completes each new DNA molecule.
“DNA is found mostly in the cell nucleus, but another type
of nucleic acid, RNA, is common in the cytoplasm." Watson and
Crick proposed that RNA must copy the DNA message in the
nucleus and carry it out to the cytoplasm where, at a subcellular
organelle called the ribosome, proteins are made based on the
code. Crick also predicted the existence of an ‘adaptor’ molecule
that reads the genetic code and selects the appropriate amino
acids to add to growing protein polypeptide chains.
Later it was learned, “several types of RNA are involved in
the utilization of genetic information. In the nucleus, the DNA
code is ‘transcribed,’ or copied, into a messenger RNA (mRNA)
molecule. In the cytoplasm, the mRNA code is ‘translated’ into
amino acids. Translation is orchestrated at the ribosome—itself
partly composed of RNA—with transfer RNA (tRNA) playing
the role of adaptor.
“The genetic code had to be a ‘language’—using the DNA alphabet of A,T,C, and G—that produced enough DNA ‘words’ to specify each of the 20 known amino acids. Simple math showed
that only 16 words are possible from a two-letter combination,
but a three-letter code produces 64 possible words. Operating on
the principle that the simplest solution is often correct, researchers assumed a three-letter code called a codon.
“Research teams at the University of British Columbia and
the National Institutes of Health laboriously synthesized different RNA molecules, each a long strand composed of a single
repeated codon. Then, each type of synthetic RNA was added
to a cell-free translation system containing ribosomes, transfer
RNAs, and amino acids. As predicted, each type of synthetic
RNA produced a polypeptide chain composed of repeated units
of a single amino acid. Several codons are ‘stop’ signals and
many amino acids are specified by several different codons, accounting for all 64 three-letter combinations. . . . The triplet genetic code further refined the definition of a gene as a discrete
sequence of DNA encoding a protein—beginning with a ‘start’
codon and ending with a ‘stop’ codon.”
DNALC Rebuttal
From here, further physical explanations of DNA-to-RNA to-protein synthesis become highly technical and confusing, and
downright contradictory. If simplicity is the litmus test, there is
obviously something very wrong or missing in this Cartesian
method of regenerating life. Take for instance the following
DNALC explanation of RNA-messaging inconsistencies:
“Dogma and logic dictated that the mRNA code is a faithful representation of the DNA from which it is transcribed. This
exact correspondence between mRNA sequence and DNA sequence was generally upheld in experiments with bacterial cells
(prokaryotes). However, inconsistencies surfaced as recombinant-DNA techniques allowed researchers to explore the genes
of higher cells (eukaryotes). Then, it was found that mRNA transcripts appeared to be shorter than their corresponding genes.This difference became obvious in electron micrographs of DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral
mRNA bound to its complementary DNA template—where regions of DNA without corresponding mRNA form loops.
“In fact, the protein coding information in genes is interrupted by non-coding sequences called introns, which results in
‘split genes.’” The entire DNA code is faithfully transcribed into
a temporary form of RNA (pre-mRNA), but this is edited in the
nucleus to yield a mature mRNA. The process of RNA splicing
involves removing non-coding regions, nucleic acid, and splicing together adjacent coding regions, exons.”
All of this may, however, be an artifact of the recombinant DNA techniques employed. More importantly, the mechanistic
model of genetics expressed above by the DNALC has become
largely, if not entirely, undermined by recent advances in water
science, electrochemistry, nanotechnology, and the physics of
bioelectric phenomena.
For this reason, we now turn our interest to the control of
genes from outside of cells, that is, from the environment, including from potentially Divine sources. In contrast to the DNALC,
we will primarily focus on the electromagnetic matrix of universal, and/or spiritual, energy discussed in previous chapters. Alternatively, we recognize that modern mainstream DNA evangelists
have heavily invested in hormones and neurohumors (blood
chemicals) to explain genetic regulation of growth and development. They barely allude to, likely for fear of embarrassment,
natural energy as a far more rational and holistic approach to understanding life’s physical manifestation and underlying science
of creationism. Cellular up-regulation occurs from the energetically empowered Sacred Spiral. You will now learn about this
bioacoustic and electromagnetic creationistic system beginning
at the level of your DNA.
This next chapter, Gene-Environment Interaction(117) is a lengthy one, and would make this one to long, so we will cut this one here.
