Hasten The Day!
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

DECEPTION - GENETIC MANIPULATION & TRANSHUMANISM
(END OF HUMANITY - WE WILL BECOME GODS)
2018 World Economic Forum (WEF) - Yuval Noah Harari
"So I want to talk to you today about the future of our species and really the future of life. We are probably one of the last generations of Homo Sapiens. Within a century or two, earth will be dominated by entities that are more different from us than we are different from Neanderthals or from chimpanzees. Because in the coming generations, we will learn how to engineer bodies, and brains, and minds. These will be the main products of the economy, of the 21st century economy."
Isaiah 24 - Impending Judgment on the Earth
Is 24:5 The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, And few men are left.
Isaiah 13 - Proclamation Against Babylon
Is 13:12 I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.

End of Humanity - Corrupted DNA (like the Nephilim), Unredeemable to God
Biden signs executive order designed to unleash transhumanist hell on America and the world
“Let me read between the lines for America. Biden’s Sept. 12, 2022, executive order declares that Americans must surrender all human rights that stand in the way of transhumanism. Clinical trial safety standards and informed consent will be eradicated as they stand in the way of universally unleashing gene-editing technologies needed to merge humans with A.I. In order to achieve the societal goals of the New World Order, crimes against humanity are not only legal, but mandatory.”

Daniel 2:32-45 - Daniel Explains the Dream (Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream of the Statue)
Dan 2:32 This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34 You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 “This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. 37 You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; 38 and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all—you are this head of gold. 39 But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. 44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”
Biden signs executive order designed to unleash transhumanist hell on America and the world
https://leohohmann.com/2022/09/13/biden-signs-executive-order-designed-to-unleash-transhumanist-hell-on-america-and-the-world/
If anyone needed proof that the powers pushing the levers behind the mindless moron who sits in the Oval Office are fully on board with the World Economic Forum/United Nations agenda of biomedical tyranny and transhumanism, look no further than the executive order that Joe Biden signed on Monday, September 12.
By quietly getting Biden’s signature on this document, his handlers may have given us the most ominous sign yet that we stand on the threshold of a technocratic one-world beast system. Prepare to make your stand because it’s about to get much more intense.
This document’s Orwellian title, Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy, will assure that its significance will fly right over the heads of 99 percent of the media, even the conservative media.
They will read it and yawn. I plead with everyone reading this article to please not make that same mistake.
Because of the arcane scientific language in which this document is written, even most of those who take the time to read and study it (I assure you Biden did not) will not fully grasp what is being ordered by the White House.
That’s where we strive to help.
Karen Kingston, a former Pfizer employee and current analyst for the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries, helps us decipher what’s going on in this executive order.
Kingston stated in a Twitter post:
“Let me read between the lines for America. Biden’s Sept. 12, 2022, executive order declares that Americans must surrender all human rights that stand in the way of transhumanism. Clinical trial safety standards and informed consent will be eradicated as they stand in the way of universally unleashing gene-editing technologies needed to merge humans with A.I. In order to achieve the societal goals of the New World Order, crimes against humanity are not only legal, but mandatory.” See post
Here is one of the most disturbing excerpts from Biden’s executive order:
“We need to develop genetic engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in which we write software and program computers…including through computing tools and artificial intelligence…“
Patrick Wood, an economist and author of several books on technocracy, has been following the transhumanist and global technocracy movements for four decades. He told me that Kingston is not overstating the issue.
He said this E.O. is proof that the executive branch is now owned lock, stock and barrel by the biomedical/pharmaceutical industry. It will be Katy bar the door from here on out.
“The transhumanists within Big Pharma have completely taken over government policy and taxpayer funds to promote their own anti-human agenda of hacking the software of life,” Wood told me. “It also clearly demonstrates who has the power, and who sets the policies in America.”
The mRNA injections that have already gone into the bodies of at least 70 percent of adults in the U.S. (and a smaller percentage of its children) mark the “gateway to transhumanism.” We have been told this by Kingston as well as by the late Dr. Zev Zelenko and Dr. Robert Malone, a co-inventor of the mRNA platform.
LeoHohmann.com was one of the first sites to blow the whistle on Moderna’s former chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, who told the world straight up in December 2017 that “We have hacked the software of life,” and that this mRNA gene-editing biotechnology would be incorporated into vaccines to treat and prevent all manner of illnesses. We’ve seen how well they work, with millions getting sick and tens of thousands dying after getting two or more doses of the Covid injections offered up by Moderna and Pfizer. With the FDA and CDC now totally on board, this mRNA technology is being included in scores of other vaccines, including flu shots.
The September 12 executive order was no doubt put in place as back up for the continued experimentation on the human population, and I expect the vaccine industry will exploit it to the max. Soon we will see the return of vax mandates, this time more ferociously policed and enforced than before.
This E.O. may also have been timed at least partly in anticipation of the new pandemic treaty that the Biden administration is hoping to get passed through the United Nations World Health Organization next year. This treaty will transfer sovereignty over matters of “health emergencies” from the national level to the WHO.
Wood said the E.O.’s intended consequences is to push the frontier of genetic modification of all living things and especially humans. He believes this will ultimately spark the biggest public backlash in modern history.
“Biden pledges not only funding but an all-of-government transformation to support this anti-human scheme from top to bottom,” Wood writes. “It also automatically blocks any agency or department from dissent.”
Below are just a few of the highlights quoted directly from the document:
-
The term “biotechnology” means technology that applies to or is enabled by life sciences innovation or product development.
-
The term “biomanufacturing” means the use of biological systems to develop products, tools, and processes at commercial scale.
-
The term “bioeconomy” means economic activity derived from the life sciences, particularly in the areas of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, and includes industries, products, services, and the workforce.
-
The term “biological data” means the information, including associated descriptors, derived from the structure, function, or process of a biological system(s) that is measured, collected, or aggregated for analysis.
-
The term “key R&D areas” includes fundamental R&D of emerging biotechnologies, including engineering biology; predictive engineering of complex biological systems, including the designing, building, testing, and modeling of entire living cells, cell components, or cellular systems; quantitative and theory-driven multi-disciplinary research to maximize convergence with other enabling technologies; and regulatory science, including the development of new information, criteria, tools, models, and approaches to inform and assist regulatory decision-making. These R&D priorities should be coupled with advances in predictive modeling, data analytics, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, high-performance and other advanced computing systems, metrology and data-driven standards, and other non-life science enabling technologies.
-
The term “life sciences” means all sciences that study or use living organisms, viruses, or their products, including all disciplines of biology and all applications of the biological sciences (including biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and pharmaceutical and biomedical research and techniques), but excluding scientific studies associated with radioactive materials or toxic chemicals that are not of biological origin or synthetic analogues of toxins.
What this means is that human beings will be data mined for their most personal possession, their DNA and genomic properties, and the government will offer no protection.
It will actually be encouraged and seen as a green light for biomedical practitioners worldwide. It is the goal of the technocratic proprietors of Agenda 2030 to catalogue, map out, and monitor every living thing on earth.
This was spelled out in the early 2000s by the late researcher Rosa Koire and put into book form in 2011 with “Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21.” Koire was a Democrat, but she understood that the takedown of America and indeed every nation of the formerly free world, would not be accomplished by the left or the right but by supranational globalists with an allegiance to no particular nation. In fact, these globalists detest the nation-state model that has dominated the world for thousands of years. Their goal is “global governance” and they say it out loud in their own documents.
Have no fear.
Do not be intimidated.
Truth will not be defeated.
Humanity will prevail against these anti-human eugenicist monsters because we have living souls and are created in the image of a Holy God with individual free wills.
Because of that, we humans are capable of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the one and only triune God of the Bible. Those who take the bait of the globalists and submit to the world system will in essence be handing over their humanity in exchange for empty promises of safety and security. They will become transhumans, thus foregoing, at some point, their ability to connect with God. That’s a very big step and a decision that will face every human being sooner or later as this technology ramps up. Your very soul will depend on the choice you make. Will you follow God or will you follow man?
Above all, this is a spiritual battle.
We must continue to expose the sinister transhumanist agenda that these globalist predators did their best to keep hidden within a scientific vernacular that they know will wow and mystify the average person. We have decoded it for you in this article from two of the best Christian experts on the topic available in the world today – Karen Kingston and Patrick Wood.

Genesis 6 and the Usurping of Adam
(Prophecy Watchers w/ Tim Alberino)
Lucifer’s desire to destroy humanity, men and women made in the image of God, is hard for us to fathom. But throughout history he’s tried to destroy everything God called good. Tim Alberino’s research on the genetic hybrids of Genesis 6 led directly to the catastrophic flood of Noah and the near destruction of the entire human race. His hatred of mankind continues to this day through transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and the destruction of man’s DNA.

Genesis 6:1-4 – The Wickedness and Judgment of Man
Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Who / what were the Nephilim?
https://www.gotquestions.org/Nephilim.html
The Nephilim (“fallen ones, giants”) were the offspring of sexual relationships between the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6:1–4. There is much debate as to the identity of the “sons of God.” It is our opinion that the “sons of God” were fallen angels (demons) who mated with human females or possessed human males who then mated with human females. These unions resulted in offspring, the Nephilim, who were “heroes of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6:4). For a discussion of the various interpretations, please read our article on identity of the sons of God and daughters of men.
Why would the demons do such a thing? The Bible does not specifically give us the answer. Demons are evil, twisted beings—so nothing they do should surprise us. As to a distinct motivation, one speculation is that the demons were attempting to pollute the human bloodline in order to prevent the coming of the Messiah. God had promised that the Messiah would one day crush the head of the serpent, Satan (Genesis 3:15). The demons in Genesis 6 were possibly attempting to prevent the crushing of the serpent and make it impossible for a sinless “seed of the woman” to be born. Again, this is not a specifically biblical answer, but it is biblically plausible.
What were the Nephilim? According to Hebraic and other legends (the Book of Enoch and other non-biblical writings), they were a race of giants and super-heroes who did acts of great evil. Their great size and power likely came from the mixture of demonic “DNA” with human genetics. According to the movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe (reviewed by us here), the Nephilim were fallen angels encased in rock. All that the Bible directly says about them is that they were “heroes of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6:4). The Nephilim were not aliens, angels, “Watchers,” or rock monsters; they were literal, physical beings produced from the union of the sons of God and the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1–4).
What happened to the Nephilim? The Nephilim were one of the primary reasons for the great flood in Noah’s time. Immediately after the mention of Nephilim, God’s Word says, “The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them’” (Genesis 6:5–7). God proceeded to flood the entire earth, killing everyone and everything other than Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark. All else perished, including the Nephilim (Genesis 6:11–22).
Were there Nephilim after the flood? Genesis 6:4 tells us, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward.” It seems that the demons repeated their sin sometime after the flood as well. However, it likely took place to a much lesser extent than it did prior to the flood. When the Israelites spied out the land of Canaan, they reported back to Moses: “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them” (Numbers 13:33). This passage does not say the Nephilim were genuinely there, only that the spies thought they saw the Nephilim. It is more likely that the spies witnessed very large people in Canaan and in their fear believed them to be the Nephilim. Or it is possible that after the flood the demons again mated with human females, producing more Nephilim. It is even possible that some traits of the Nephilim were passed on through the heredity of one of Noah’s daughters-in-law. Whatever the case, these “giants” were destroyed by the Israelites during their invasion of Canaan (Joshua 11:21–22) and later in their history (Deuteronomy 3:11; 1 Samuel 17).
What prevents the demons from producing more Nephilim today? It seems that God put an end to demons mating with humans by placing all the demons who committed such an act in isolation. Jude verse 6 tells us, “The angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.” Obviously, not all demons are in “prison” today, so there must have been a group of demons who committed further grievous sin beyond the original fall. Presumably, the demons who mated with human females are the ones who are “bound with everlasting chains.” This would prevent any more demons from attempting such sin.

END OF HUMANITY - GENETIC MANIPULATION
The Days of Noah - Genetically modified humans - Human / fallen angel hybrids known as the Nephilim
What if I were to tell you that virtually every plant species known to mankind is on the verge of going out of existence? Then what if I were to inform you that all the animals on planet earth as we know them today are being genetically altered in ways that will have dreadful irreversible side effects? Now, add to that the shocking news that mankind himself is being permanently modified inside and out to where the actual scientists and think tanks performing these dangerous experiments upon humanity even admit that if we keep this up, “There will be no true humans left.” All three nightmarish scenarios are not only happening around the world as we speak, but there is virtually little to no oversight to stop them, which means our planet is being thrust headlong into a horrible apocalyptic ending of Biblical proportions. These grotesque and bizarre endeavors might be news to you, but they’re not to God. He actually warned us about them in the Bible some 2,000 years ago that they were a clear sign that Jesus Christ was getting ready to come back to this planet again and judge and put a stop to all this wicked rebellion. Time for humanity is simply running out!
YHWH, the name of God, is literally in our human DNA, YHWH DNA. This has profound implications and would provide a much-needed explanation as to why it is that what we see happening in the world is happening in the world. Satan is seeking to destroy mankind by altering the human DNA so we are no longer redeemable by God.
The genetics of human beings in Noah's day had been corrupted by Satan himself, which is why God had to destroy the entire population. See, if you're no longer human in your DNA, then you're outside the scope of redemption and salvation because Jesus became a human (fully man, fully God) to redeem men, not hybrids. If you no longer have God's name written in your DNA, then you are no longer redeemable to Him.

Plants
Glow-in-the-dark plants, transgenic tress - New Green Deal, save the planet, no electric
These genetically engineered glow-in-the-dark eucalyptus trees produce about 20% more wood than conventional trees. The trees were developed by Future Gene Company and the trees speedy growth also boosts the absorption of carbon dioxide from the air about 12% "to aid in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions"
There's a potential danger on the plants and animals around them - there's always the danger in any genetically modified plant or crop of cross-pollination. Trees are worse because trees are bigger than crops and flowers, so that means the the pollen from these new genetically modified trees can travel further. Bees will harvest cross-pollinated flower nectar and eventually humans will be ingesting these weird, freakish irreversible changes. This has the potential to mess up all kinds of life on planet.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
Genetically modified organisms are created by deliberately changing the genetic makeup of a plant or animal in ways that could never occur in nature.
GMO Foods
The foundational principle of plant breeding is to take advantage of genetic modification, whether the mutation is caused by sunlight or x-rays or Crispr. As Klee puts it, “there isn’t a single crop that I know of in your produce aisle that is not drastically modified from what is out there in the wild.”

Consumer Reports - Where GMOs hide in your food
New Consumer Reports’ tests find genetically modified organisms in many packaged foods—including those labeled 'natural'
More than 70 percent of Americans say they don’t want genetically modified organisms in their food...The trouble is, it’s hard to avoid them.
The federal government has not mandated that genetically modified organisms be proved safe before they're used in your food. Some animal studies suggest that GMOs may cause damage to the immune system, liver, and kidneys. “There hasn’t been enough research to determine whether GMOs are harmful to people,” says Michael Hansen, Ph.D., senior scientist at Consumers Union and an authority on genetic engineering. “But scientists around the world agree that GMOs have the potential to introduce allergens and create other unintended changes that may affect health.”
Genetically modified corn and soy are used in a wide variety of foods. Nearly all of the samples we tested of the products that did not make any non-GMO-related claim on the package did, in fact, contain substantial amounts of genetically modified corn or soy.

GMO Insects
GMO Killer Bees (Start at 8:45 in Insane Creatures video)
Africanized honey bees are dangerous stinging insects that have been known to chase people for more than a quarter of a mile once they get excited and aggressive. This is why they earned the nickname “killer bee.”
1950s - The European honeybee was crossbred with its African counterpart. With the intention of increasing the production of honey, these insects were released into Brazil. But these Africanized honey bees turned out to be
highly aggressive and two swarms of them managed to escape quarantine in 1957. After spreading throughout the Americas, they became known as killer bees due to their antigenistic nature. They can deliver more than 10 times the stings of a European honey bee. In addition to amassing in swarms of more than 800,000 individuals, they're known to have killed about 1,000 humans. And since these tiny terrors can survive in habitats ranging from jungles to deserts, there's no escaping them.
GMO Mosquitos
2019 - Six researchers are reportedly calling for the retraction of their study, which claimed that a trial of genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes went horrifically wrong and resulted in extra-dangerous, mutant blood-suckers flying rampant in a Brazilian city.

RIDL - Release of Insects Carrying a Dominant Lethal
Release of Insects carrying Dominant Lethals (RIDL) is a control strategy using genetically engineered insects that have (carry) a lethal gene in their genome (an organism's DNA). Lethal genes cause death in an organism, and RIDL genes only kill young insects, usually larvae or pupae.

'CRAZED SCIENTISTS all over the globe are “playing god” with the very building blocks of life. Today, thanks to extraordinary advances in the field of genetic modification, scientists are now able to do things that were once unthinkable. Part human/part animal hybrid monsters are being created by scientists all over the planet and it is all perfectly legal. Scientists justify mixing the DNA of humans and animals by claiming that it will help them “cure diseases” and “feed the world”, but the reality is that all of this genetic modification is a tremendous threat to the human race.
It is only a matter of time before humans start allowing themselv es to be genetically-modified in order to “fight illness” or to “enhance” their abilities. The temptation to insert the genes of animals or plants into people in order to create “super soldiers” or a “superior race” will certainly prove to be much too tempting. Unless something is done to hold all of this back, it seems almost certain that genetic hell will be unleashed on the human race. Once genetically-modified humans start breeding with normal humans there will be no putting the genie back into the bottle.'

The Era Of Chimeras: Scientists Fearlessly Create Bizarre Human/Animal Hybrids
Did you know that scientists are creating cow/human hybrids, pig/human hybrids and even mouse/human hybrids? This is happening every single day in labs all over the western world, but most people have never even heard about it. So would you drink milk from a cow/human hybrid that produces milk that is almost identical to human breast milk? And how would you interact with a mouse that has a brain that is almost entirely human?
These are the kinds of questions that we will have to start to address as a society as scientists create increasingly bizarre human/animal hybrids. Thanks to dramatic advances in genetic technology, we have gotten to the point where it is literally possible for college students to create new hybrid lifeforms in their basements. Of course our laws have not kept pace with these advances, and now that Pandoras Box has been opened, it is going to be nearly impossible to shut it.
Scientists try to justify the creation of human/animal hybrids by telling us that it will help secure disease and help end world hunger, but what if scientists discover that combining human DNA with animal DNA can give us incredible new abilities or greatly extended lifespans? Will humanity really have the restraint to keep from going down that road?... even if some nations outlaw the complete merging of humans and animals, that does not mean that everyone else in the world will.
Sadly, most of the scientists working in this field express very little concern for these types of considerations. In fact, one very prominent U.S. geneticist says that we should not even worry about hybridization because he believes that humans were originally pig/chimpanzee hybrids anyway. So if we are just hybrid creatures ourselves, why should we be scared of making more hybrids? From their point of view, it all makes perfect sense.
But once animal DNA gets into our breeding pool, how will we ever put the genie back into the bottle? As the DNA of the human race becomes corrupted, it is easy to imagine a future where there are very few pure humans remaining.
Russia to build Noah's Ark, the world's first DNA databank
https://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/russia-build-noah-ark-world-dna-databank-article-1.2059704
The Moscow State University received a scientific grant to start the project Noah's Ark. The project will allow scientists to collect the DNA of every living and extinct creature for the world's first DNA databank.
"I call the project 'Noah's Ark.' It will involve the creation of a depository — a databank for the storing of every living thing on Earth, including not only living, but disappearing and extinct organisms. This is the challenge we have set for ourselves," said MSU rector Viktor Sadivnichy in press statement.
The grant given to the university was of 1 billion rubles, which translates to $194 million.
The 'ark' will be approximately 430 sq km in size and it'll be located at one of the university's central campuses.
"It will enable us to cryogenically freeze and store various cellular materials, which can then reproduce," Sadivnichy said. "It will also contain information systems. Not everything needs to be kept in a petri dish."
Sadivnichy said the databank will be completed by 2018.
"If it's realized, this will be a leap in Russian history as the first nation to create an actual Noah's Ark of sorts," Sadivnichy said.
Although the ark would be big, it wouldn't be the first of its kind.
Britain has the Frozen Ark, which preserves all endangered life forms and the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. is currently the largest biorepository in existence with 4.2 million samples.

Notes, Links, Rough Transcript
“As I dug into the research of GMO and the patenting of seeds, I came across something that perked my ears up, and that was that the earliest research on GMO’s. was financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. That interested me tremendously because I have spent years researching the Rockefeller machine – the Political machine of the most powerful family in America after WWII, and what I found out astonished even me.
I went back to the 1930’s and found that the Rockefellers had actually created an entire field of the study of biology. They created a fraudulent branch of biology called molecular-biology, based on a principle of scientific reductionism. They maintain that they could reduce the complexity of life to a single gene, and be able to shoot foreign matter into that gene and change the expression of that gene. The problem with this, is that it’s not stable among other things. Into the 40’s with it’s tax-free money was one of the few sources for scientific research in these Elite universities and they grabbed it up, and began promoting molecular biology. Then, right after the war, Nelson Rockefeller, took a scientist that worked for the Rockefeller University, down to Mexico to see about the possibilities of introducing a variety of wheat called ‘Wonder Wheat” and a green revolution was born. A lot of hype and lies.
The green revolution was aimed at creating “Agri-Business”. In the early 1950s, the Rockefeller Foundation financed a project that today dominates the human food chain around the world. Agribusiness. Almost 100% of the corn grown is genetically-manipulated, virtually all of the soy-beans in the world. Patented seeds largely from Monsanto. The business model is a corporate model. The idea of a farmer that gets up and cares about the health of his animals, gets up at 4am when one of his cows takes ill or something to find out what the problem is – that began to be transformed in the 1970’s into Industrialized farming – mass feed lots, where 10’s of 1000’s of animals are crowded together. They started with chickens, and by now it’s spread to virtually all of the meat that is consumed. It’s pumped up with antibiotics to make them grow faster, and then it’s fed a diet of GMO almost exclusively. It’s probably a good time to think about becoming a vegetarian. Virtually all of the power feed is GMO.
-
Monsanto Harvester of Fear. in 1980 the U.S. Supreme Court, in a five-to-four decision, turned seeds into widgets, laying the groundwork for a handful of corporations to begin taking control of the world’s food supply. In its decision, the court extended patent law to cover “a live human-made microorganism.” In this case, the organism wasn’t even a seed. Rather, it was a Pseudomonas bacterium developed by a General Electric scientist to clean up oil spills. But the precedent was set, and Monsanto took advantage of it.
The idea of GMO came from very powerful and evil people with a fascination with something called Eugenics – race-breeding science. You have a superior race, like the Rockefellers or Rothschilds (as they see it), and then you have the unwanted, the human cancer that spreads and reproduces. After the end of WWII, the Rockefellers became some of the largest finances of something called the American Eugenics Society, out of which came the Planned Parenthood Foundation, which is nothing but a disguised form of Eugenics, and during the 30’s, they created the Negro Project. “If the black ministers ever get wind of the Negro Project is about reducing the Negro population, then our project is in real trouble”. That was Eugenics.
They held a conference and announced the new name of Eugenics is Genetics, and that began this mad project to try to alter the gene – to manipulate the gene of life – by reducing the complexity of biological life, down to the single gene, and changing its expression. The same Rockefeller foundation, from the 1920s into the eve of the first World War, financed all of the Eugenics research, from the time that Hitler came into power until 1939 – research on how to eliminate “Useless Eaters”, “Undesirable”, “Gypsies”, “Jews” and so forth. Nazi doctors were all receiving money from the Rockefellers. This is the geo-political background to the GMO project.

Center for Genetics and Society Eugenics refers to beliefs and practices aimed at controlling reproduction in order to “improve” the characteristics of human populations. In the early 20th century, eugenic beliefs were intertwined with the developing science of genetics.

The 4 Rockefeller brothers divided the world up among them after the war, In the 50’s, John D Rockefeller created the Population Council. The purpose of the Population Council, was to reduce population. They hired demographers at Elite Universities to come up with scary numbers to terrify the population about how Indian people are reproducing like rabbits, and there’s famine because there’s “too many people in India” and so forth. Africa, China, they did the same thing. So that most of the world came to believe – especially in the Industrial world – that the greatest danger on earth today is “Over-Population” but, ‘don’t worry because the Rockefellers, through their Population Council, began funding all sorts of research in birth control devices’.
In the 1970s, Henry Kissinger was commissioned to do a top-secret study called NSSM 200, in the 1990’s, it was declassified and people could read it, but it became official US government policy to impose Population-Reduction on what Kissinger called “developing countries where they have rapid population growth and rich, raw material resources that the West needs to fight the Cold War – oil, metal, rare earth etc. Kissinger argued that these rapid population increases, will create a population that will demand their governments that they get a share of the pie, that they have an economic development – a good standard of living, adequate food, shelter and so forth. They made as a condition of any US government aid, that third world or developing countries, had to have a population plan in place.
Gradually, the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund adopted (on US/Washington Pressure) these population-reduction policies, so they did not have to do it through the US government, they had plausible deniability. This is some of the background to the Rockefeller GMO Project.
Then they went to an Institute that the Rockefeller money had created called the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines, and financed the development of what they called “Golden Rice” because it was yellowish in colour, but the argument was that “we will develop rice that is genetically modified to contain Vitamin A, so that new-borns in poverty-areas of Asia would not have blindness that is caused by Vitamin A deficiency. After years of research, they developed their golden rice, is that a new-born would have to eat 8kg of golden rice everyday to get the amount of vitamin A that you get from carrots and other natural vegetables. So that project did not quite go the way the Rockefellers had dreamed.
Then in the USA, Monsanto went to the Whitehouse in 1992 and convinced Bush that America had developed something that could make American Agriculture the World King – Patented Seeds, paired to Monsanto-chemicals. Monsanto had been in the orbit of the Rockefellers (a Rockefeller was on the board) since WWI making chemicals and Agent Orange and Dioxin and other such things. Bush agreed to issue instructions to the FDA, the NIH, and US Dept of Agriculture, that GMO corn and soy-beans look, smell, taste like the real thing, that we don’t need to do any independent studies whether it’s healthy for humans or animals, that it’s substantially equivalent. By putting the word “substantially” in there – you completely change the rules of the game. It’s not equivalent. It’s an unnatural transformation of normal seeds. That declaration by President Bush which has been reinforced by every single President – Bill Clinton, Baby Bush and now Barak Obama, that there is no Independent Testing of the Health and Safety of GMO.

Science in Society # 37 – Spring 2008 Redeeming Science from Corporate Corruption (SiS 37), studies performed by, or on behalf of, companies claiming to show GM food is safe, and accepted by government regulators as such, do nothing of the kind. We are faced with a corporate corruption of science in which every level of the corporate structure is complicit: the scientific establishment, journal editors and big government held to ransom by the biotech industry.
Not only that, the GMO lobby – the companies themselves (Monsanto, etc) drafted the rules that became the agreement of Agriculture for something called the World Trade Organization in the 1990s. In those rules, if a country tries to stop Free-Trade in GMO Soy beans from Monsanto, from coming into the country, that they are in violation of WTO rules. The health and safety of a nation is deemed less important. The rules were very carefully written by very clever Monsanto lawyers so it looks like it’s protecting health and safety when it does quite the opposite. are written by very clever Monsanto lawyers

Documents made public from a lawsuit show that the overwhelming consensus among the FDA’s own scientists was that GM crops were inherently unsafe and could create hard-to-detect, unpredicted toxins, allergens, new diseases, and nutritional problems and had, in fact, urged their superiors to… Self-propagating genetic pollution will outlast, theoretically, the effects of global warming and nuclear waste. We have never had an experience like this before in our history.
The European Union had a problem in 2003. Whilst the FDA and Commissioners were happy to take Monsanto money under the table, the general public resisted these GMO’s, so Baby Bush decided to sue the European Union for not accepting more GMO in the EU. They partly won the suit, but still there has been no wide-spread acceptance of GMO in Europe. Austria forbids GMO. A number of countries in Europe also do not allow GMO.
The situation today is such, that virtually all the packaged-meat are GMO (unless you can verify that its come from a local farmer that has taken pains to feed non-GMO feed to his pigs, cattle or chickens).
The study documented, the scientists in France documented that the chemical that’s paired to the modified seeds – and you cannot buy Round-up Ready seeds without signing a contract that you’ll buy Roundup, which not only contains glyphosate, it contains proprietary chemicals which are not revealed to the public as to what they are, and Séralinis’ team, tested the chemicals, and found that these chemicals are toxic to cells in a human embryo, in quantities less than that recommended for garden-usage, and Roundup is the most common weed-killer in the world today. It’s a form of chemical warfare.

Why Glyphosate Should Be Banned – Institute of Science in Society Special Report
In 1999, Monsanto got into trouble with the project. Kissigner said back in the 70’s if you control oil, you control entire nations, and if you control food, you control the people.
Control what we eat, the toxins that build up in our system that 20-30 years later emerge as cancer or heart problems or other things that make us ineffective as live, thinking, active people that can make trouble for government policies that are destructive to us.
So in 1999, they announced that they are not only buying up all the Independent Seed companies around the world, but they were buying something called Delta and Pine Land – who in cooperation with the US gov’t, had developed a seed called Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT) or “Terminator Technology”.
Terminator allows Monsanto to sell seeds to a farmer in India, China, or Africa and that seed will commit-suicide after one harvest, so you’re in a form of bondage that has never before been possible in the history of Agriculture. Farmers cannot re-plant a portion of the seeds for their next harvest – they completely lose their Independence to a foreign multinational, and on that basis alone:
-
even if GMO’s would increase harvest yield
-
even if it could be proven that GMO’s were completely safe to human and animal health (which they aren’t)
-
and even if they required less herbicide (which they don’t, they require more)
I would oppose GMO with all my energy because it’s controlled by 3-4 multi-nationals – chemical companies – and 3 of those are some of the most criminal corporations on the face of the earth. They developed Agent Orange, lied about the effects of it on their own employees to avoid paying liabilities, and the US govt has lied about it and not acknowledged the damage that American soldiers underwent from the toxic effects of working with Agent Orange during the war, and they did the same with Dioxin, with PCBs, dumping it into the water nearby their factories in the US. And these 3 corporations, which intimately work with the Pentagon and have for decades, on chemical-warfare – we are supposed to trust Monsanto, that they do the scientific studies that are given to the government, that the government doesn’t need to waste tax payer money doing independent scientific studies like Séralini did in France?
Genetics is the new name of Eugenics. The GMO Project. Genocide.
Epicyte September 2001. The world was preoccupied with other things, like planes flying into buildings. Epicyte did a press release saying that their spermicidal corn was the solution to over-population. He had developed corn, when eaten by a male, makes the sperm infertile, so you cannot conceive.
These are people who are out to reduce the population to several hundred million because they regard people as cancer. Epicyte disappeared as an independent company, it was bought up by North Carolina biotech company, but not before it signed licencing agreements with Dow chemical, Dow Agrisciences, another one of the GMO giants, to licence this spermicidal corn worldwide. For obvious political reasons, they’re keeping a low-profile on spermicidal corn, but it would be interesting to test to what extent the corn seed varieties has been contaminated with.
Epicyte: Contraceptive Corn | Genocide Food #NWOfood
In 2001 scientists at the Epicyte bio-lab in San Diego created the ultimate GM crop—'contraceptive corn'—after researchers discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm. By isolating the genes that regulate the manufacture of these antibodies, and by putting them in corn plants, the company has created tiny horticultural factories that make contraceptives.
Announcing his success at a press conference, the president of Epicyte, Mitch Hein, pointing to his GMO corn plants and announced, "We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies."
Shortly after the 2001 Epicyte press release, all discussion of the breakthrough vanished. The company itself was taken over in 2004 by Biolex and nothing more was heard in any media about the development of spermicidal corn.
Some people say nobody in their right mind would do such a thing, would they? The problem is, there are people who are not in their right minds, and many of the most powerful, bad people on our planet, are not in their right minds, and they are doing this.
Together with the government of Norway and other foundation money, the Rockefellers spent years, in cooperation with the World UnHealthy Organization in Geneva, the WHO, developing a vaccine for Tetanus. They began giving free Vaccination in the early 1990s to women in Nicaragua, Mexico between the ages 14-45, but not to the men. Fortunately a Catholic Doctors Association became suspicious when the vaccine was only being offered to women of a child-bearing age, and took a sample of the vaccine to an independent laboratory and held a press conference announcing that it was laced with an abortifacient, that would cause a women who had conceived to abort. The WHO denied. The Catholic Doctors Association produced the lab-results, and WHO said “Oh, it must’ve been a bad batch, a contaminated batch”. This is what the GMO revolution is all about.

They’re not intended to improve the world. They’re intended to control. They can switch-off the seed-supply in a second without notice if say China didn’t do what Washington wanted. We’ve seen what Washington has done with the banking system – cutting off the oil sales of a country like Iran because they decide to.
Monsanto has teamed up with the Gates Foundation, being “great” Humanitarians introducing vaccines all over Africa – they have a project to vaccinate every child in Africa with various forms of poisons. Instead of spending 10 billion dollars on clean water supplies which would have a dramatic effect on sickness and death, they’re spending 10 billion on injecting every child in Africa with poisons called vaccines.
The Gates foundation has become a major shareholder in Monsanto and they also, together with the Rockefeller Foundation, two of the biggest private foundations of the world, sponsor something called the Green Revolution in Africa. The secretary-general of the United Nations for many years, Kofi Annan, was recruited by Bill Gates and David Rockefeller and company, to become the secretary of the Green Revolution in Africa. The project is to introduce GMO all across Africa by stealth, and many African countries are not as stupid as some white people think – they can actually read and write and read scientific reports on the internet and reject things that they think are unhealthy for them.
Bill Gates, David Rockefeller and Warren Buffet, issued an invitation to a group of the ten of the wealthiest people in America, to come to a meeting at the Rockefeller University’s presidents house in New York, to create something they call “The Good Club”. This was in the middle of the greatest financial crisis in human history, and one would think that these very wealthy, powerful people might be talking about “What can we do to avoid such financial crisis?” No, they didn’t care about that. They talked about how to solve the Human Population explosion – that was the most-pressing problem. Some have estimated that within 20-30 years, the greatest population problem we’ll have on this planet is a collapse of population-growth-rates – the demographic “Opposite” of what people in the Obama administration and virtually every US gov’t since Jimmy Carter’s day, have claimed as the “greatest problem facing mankind (this “over-population”).
On the advice of the Population Council of John D Rockefeller III, the Chinese government, 30 years ago, adopted the “one child policy“, so China is facing a demographic catastrophe in that within about 20 years, there will be 100 million Chinese males, with no statistical possibility of a female partner. Imagine the kind of unrest that that’s likely to cause.
I’m told by Chinese professors that Monsanto has come into Rural Areas of China and bribed local government officials to introduce GMO seeds. “
In 2008 we had a dramatic spike in world grain prices, rice & grains. At the same time there was a dramatic rise in the oil rise, over $140 a barrel. This was manipulated by the Wall St banks as they were trying to recoup the losses of the real estate debacle, and it was manipulated by the Bush administration by offering tax-payer subsidies to farmers to take land out of Agriculture cultivation and grow corn to “burn as fuel”.
40% of the corn harvest in the US in 2008 was being used for bio-fuels and that created a shortage on the world grain markets – harvest failures I believe because of drought in Russia and certain other grain belts of the Ukraine, but the price of grains went soaring through the roof.
It commissioned on Pontifical Academy of Science – there are 5 Pontifical Academies of Science in the Vatican – the academy has on it’s advisors, well-known & respectable scientists around the world, the problem is, they are not always ‘honest’ scientists. The Pontifical Academy of Science decided to give GMO the green light and the Vatican as an official policy had resisted GMO up until that time, but they got an ailing pope (or thought they had an ailing pope) to be convinced of the benefit of GMO to solve World Hunger.
Even though Pope’s are supposed to be infalliable, that he doesn’t have time to do original research on the scientific validity of GMO of such issues, so he relies on expert advice. The head of this Pontifical Academy gave a Press Conference and he said “GMO’s are perfectly fine for humans, this is rubbish that they have a bad effect on our health – I know because I was Pontifical representative for the Vatican at the United Nations in New York for 8 years, and I ate GMO all the time, and look at me, I’m fine!”. Talk about an idiot.
Political manipulation, because the US Govt pushes this poison as ‘active policy’ as Wikileaks demonstrated with the Ambassador to France pushing Monsanto.

The former United States ambassador to France suggested “moving to retaliation” against France and the European Union (EU) in late 2007 to fight a French ban on Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) corn and changes in European policy toward biotech crops, according to a cable released by WikiLeaks.

U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks reveal the Bush administration drew up ways to retaliate against Europe for refusing to use genetically modified seeds. In 2007, then-U.S. ambassador to France Craig Stapleton was concerned about France’s decision to ban cultivation of genetically modified corn produced by biotech giant Monsanto. He also warned that a new French environmental review standard could spread anti-biotech policy across Europe. We speak with Jeffrey Smith of the Institute for Responsible Technology.

Leaked Cable: US to Start ‘Trade Wars’ with Nations Opposed to Monsanto, GMO Crops – The United States is threatening nations who oppose Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) crops with military-style trade wars, according to information obtained and released by the organization WikiLeaks. Nations like France, which have moved to ban one of Monsanto’s GM corn varieties, were requested to be ‘penalized’ by the United States for opposing Monsanto and genetically modified foods. The information reveals just how deep Monsanto’s roots have penetrated key positions within the United States government, with the cables reporting that many U.S. diplomats work directly for Monsanto.
The Pope was invited to the Food & Agriculture Conference in Rome, and it was believed by the organisers (by the US Government and others), that the Pope had been convinced by this Pontifical Academy to give the holy blessing to GMO to solve World Hunger. Which it won’t – quite the opposite. Something happened, and the secretary of a second Pontifical Academy had been given a copy of my book by a priest in Baltimore, Maryland who knew him personally, and the priest in Baltimore, told the secretary “I don’t recommend you read this book, I order you to read this book. You must read this, it is extremely important”.
To my knowledge, my book is the only book that talks about GMO as a conscious genocide project. Other excellent books took about the health risks of GMO and various things, but this is the only geo-political analysis in the world so far as I know, about the dangers of GMO.
So the secretary of the Pontifical Academy of Life got an audience with the Pope, one on one, and briefed him on the real truth about GMO. Well, the next week came this World Hunger Conference, and the Pope appeared as a speaker as was planned, and said not a single word about approving GMO. So the US Ambassador was blue with rage but there was nothing he could do – the Pope refused to sanction GMO. He even gave an Easter Sermon where he said “These are men playing with genetics, these are men who are playing at being God, but aren’t.” So he had gotten the point quite nicely. You cannot control life in this way, but the Rockefellers are obsessive psychopaths, and they don’t give up so easily.
At this point, the GMO lobby had been badly wounded by March Against Monsanto campaign. They are not by any means dead, they still held the patents, they still have a US Supreme Court that’s allowed patents on life to stand in court – something that ought to be prohibited in every country on earth – and they are trying to spread GMO in countries where they think they can bribe officials more easily, like China, Africa, India, but there are revolts appearing in all these countries.
So the perspective is by no means bleak, but we should know exactly what it is that has been done to poison us, our children, and grandchildren, and take the requisite measures to change that, thank you.
F. William Engdahl In The Vatican (Seeds of Destruction) Lecture
Engdahl also wrote two important books - "A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order" in 2004. It's an essential history of geopolitics and the importance of oil. Engdahl explains that America's post-WW II dominance rests on two pillars and one commodity - unchallengeable military power and the dollar as the world's reserve currency combined with the quest to control global oil and other energy resources.
Engdahl's newest book is just out from Global Research: "Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation" and subject of this review. It's the diabolical story of how Washington and four Anglo-American agribusiness giants plan world domination by patenting life forms to gain worldwide control of our food supply and why that prospect is chilling. The book's compelling contents are reviewed below in-depth so readers will know the type future Henry Kissinger had in mind in 1970 when he said: "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people."

END OF HUMANITY - TRANSHUMANISM
Transhumanism is a philosophical movement that advocates the enhancement of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies able to greatly enhance longevity, mood and cognitive abilities. It promotes the view that the human species should take control of its own evolution through human-enhancement technologies, such as brain implants and nanotechnology that reverses aging. This will then allow humanity to transcend its physical and mental limitations. The central premise of transhumanism is that biological evolution will eventually be overtaken by advances in genetic, wearable and implantable technologies that artificially expedite the evolutionary process.
Transhumanism: Could We Live Forever? (The Watchman)
Transhumanism and the WEF Fourth Industrial Revolution
The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technology advances commensurate with those of the first, second and third industrial revolutions. These advances are merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that create both huge promise and potential peril. The speed, breadth and depth of this revolution is forcing us to rethink how countries develop, how organisations create value and even what it means to be human. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is about more than just technology-driven change; it is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policy-makers and people from all income groups and nations, to harness converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centred future. The real opportunity is to look beyond technology, and find ways to give the greatest number of people the ability to positively impact their families, organisations and communities.
https://www.weforum.org/focus/fourth-industrial-revolution
One of the three main goals of the Great Reset agenda is “to harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good…” As the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab, explains, the Fourth Industrial Revolution “will lead to a fusion of our physical, digital, and biological identities.” He specifically considers technologies that will change what it means to be human, because they will integrate into the human body and mind in order to overcome (‘transcend’) their limitations. Sound familiar? As Schwab himself admits, these new technologies can also “intrude into the hitherto private space of our minds, reading our thoughts and influencing our behavior…” While these technologies seem like science fiction, they are nearly at our doorstep. In fact, much of the pandemic response effort relies on Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, such as genetic sequencing, vaccine biotechnology (mRNA and vector platforms), and contact tracing (mass surveillance) software. Social distancing measures have also forced people to replace their physical world with a virtual one, including digital versions of school, church, shopping, and even parties. While this has been a terrible loss for most people, this digitalisation of our lives (including COV-id apps and digital currency) is part of the WEF’s vision for our future, and therefore, in their view, quite desirable.
If one takes the publications of the WEF as an indication of how the Fourth Industrial Revolution will change society, the world is facing a massive onslaught against individual liberty and private property. A new kind of collectivism is about to emerge. Like the communism of the past, the new project appeals to the public with the assurance of technological advancement and social inclusion. Additionally, ecological sustainability and the promise of longevity or even immortality are used to entice the public. In reality, however, these promises are deeply dystopian.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution
By Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum
https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Industrial-Revolution-Professor-Dr-Ing-ebook/dp/B01JEMROIU/
World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work.
Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.
Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials.
The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history.
He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.
Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
By Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum
https://www.amazon.com/Shaping-Future-Fourth-Industrial-Revolution-ebook/dp/B07BJL719P/
World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab offers a practical companion and field guide to his previous book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Today, technology is changing everything--how we relate to one another, the way we work, how our economies and goverments function, and even what it means to be human.
One need not look hard to see how the incredible advances in artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, biotechnologies, and the internet of things are transforming society in unprecedented ways. But the Fourth Industrial Revolution is just beginning, says Schwab. And at a time of such tremendous uncertainty and such rapid change, he argues it's our actions as individuals and leaders that will determine the trajectory our future will take. We all have a responsibility - as citizens, businesses, and institutions - to work with the current of progress, not against it, to build a future that is ethical, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous.
Drawing on contributions from 200 top experts in fields ranging from machine learning to geoengineering to nanotechnology, to data ethics, Schwab equips readers with the practical tools to leverage the technologies of the future to leave the world better, safer, and more resilient than we found it.
Elon Musk says humans must become cyborgs to stay relevant. Is he right?
Humans must become cyborgs if they are to stay relevant in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. That was the warning from Tesla founder Elon Musk, speaking at an event in Dubai this weekend.
Musk argued that as artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated, it will lead to mass unemployment. “There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot can’t do better,” he said at the World Government Summit.
If humans want to continue to add value to the economy, they must augment their capabilities through a “merger of biological intelligence and machine intelligence”. If we fail to do this, we’ll risk becoming “house cats” to artificial intelligence.
And so we enter the realm of brain-computer (or brain-machine) interfaces, which cut out sluggish communication middlemen such as typing and talking in favour of direct, lag-free interactions between our brains and external devices.
The theory is that with sufficient knowledge of the neural activity in the brain it will be possible to create “neuroprosthetics” that could allow us to communicate complex ideas telepathically or give us additional cognitive (extra memory) or sensory (night vision) abilities. Musk says he’s working on an injectable mesh-like “neural lace” that fits on your brain to give it digital computing capabilities.
So where does the science end and the science fiction start?
Creating a neural lace is the thing that really matters for humanity to achieve symbiosis with machines
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 4, 2016
So far, brain-computer interfaces have been used for relatively simple tasks, mainly to restore motor control for paralyzed patients and enable communication for locked-in patients with brain injuries that prevent them from communicating verbally or gesturally.
These interfaces involve decoding brain signals from the surface of the skull through EEG or via implanted electrodes and then translating those signals into a motion command for a robot or cursor.
There has also been some progress made in the other direction: using external electrical signals to stimulate the brain. This happened last year with Nathan Copeland, a paraplegic man who was fitted with a prosthetic hand with two-way feedback, meaning he can not only control the hand but “feel” when it’s being touched.
Although medical applications are driving the research, there are also commercially available playthings that allow for novelties such as “mind controlled” drone racing.
Still, these are a long way from Elon Musk’s vision of symbiosis between man and machine, which would require a much more granular understanding of the brain network that goes beyond the basics of motor control to more complex cognitive faculties like language and metaphor.
“We have over 80bn neurons in the brain. Our tools currently give us access to an extremely small number of neurons. With prosthetics, we’re maybe talking about 100 neurons. We need higher bandwidth interfaces,” said Bryan Johnson, founder of Kernel, which aims to augment human intelligence with AI.
Professor Panagiotis Artemiadis of Arizona State University has been trying to get more bandwidth using a 128-electrode EEG cap to allow a human to control a swarm of flying robots with their brain. “We can already decode basic concepts like closing a hand or moving an elbow, but we can’t decode more complex behaviors,” he said.
He has created a system that allows for a single person to control the collaborative movement of multiple drones, for example making the flock move closer together so that it can fit through a narrow pass.
He is skeptical that the rise of AI will render humans irrelevant.
“We are building these machines to serve humans,” he said.
Miguel Nicolelis, who has built brain-controlled exoskeletons and a brain-to-brain interface that allowed a rat in the United States to use the senses of the other in Brazil, agrees.
Humans won’t become irrelevant until machines can replicate the human brain – something Nicolelis believes is not possible.
“The idea that digital machines no matter how hyper-connected, how powerful, will one day surpass human capacity is total baloney,” he told the Guardian.
Nicolelis argues that the brain – contrary to what Musk and Singularity proponents like Ray Kurzweil say – is not computable because human consciousness is the result of unpredictable, nonlinear interactions among billions of cells. “Our brains do not work in an algorithmic way and are not digital machines,” he said.
“It used to be annoying to see these kinds of statements, but now it’s becoming serious. It’s leading to mass hysteria.”
Nicolelis acknowledges that digital automation will lead to “serious unemployment” among people who perform certain “mundane functions” that can be replicated by machines. “But that doesn’t mean the human species will become obsolete.”
He agrees with Musk that if we can interface directly with machines we can produce a “quantum leap” in what digital infrastructure has produced today, but predicts that humans will retain ultimate control.
This contrasts with current automated systems, like autopilot, where the human is merely supervising the operation of a computer. Similarly, doctors are outsourcing the diagnosis of certain diseases to supercomputers. Under these circumstances human skills diminish and people become subservient to machines.
“I’m thinking about a future where we reverse this trend. We use brain-machine interfaces to enhance our ability to treat people, to improve our quality of life,” he said.
Better communication between humans and machines, particularly the transmission of emotional signals from humans, will be a powerful tool for building trust in automated systems, added Artemiadis.
For example, it would allow for humans to hand over control to an autonomous car with confidence. “It’s about making the machine more intuitive using brain signals to understand whether the human is distracted or tired.”
Columbia’s Paul Sajda agreed. “Rather than put us in a doomsday scenario, let’s look at how the relationship between humans and machines can evolve.”
He said that most people will be “scared to death” to sit behind the wheel of a driverless car, but if the AI were able to read our emotional state it could start to make predications about our desires and build trust.
Sajda described the mostly non-verbal communication between a team of six Navy Seals, which includes gestures, emotional cues and facial expressions as well as some dialogue.
“In the future it will be three humans and four robots,” he said. “How can they ensure there are these team dynamics that allow them to operate at the same level as a human squad? It has to do with trust between them.”
Mind-reading devices or implants are likely to introduce unprecedented privacy concerns. Sadja talks about the notion of freedom of thought as an extension of freedom of speech.
“All of a sudden what’s in your head can be expressed and communicated. One’s private thoughts are important to protect, I don’t think anybody – government or any company – should be charged with protecting them.”
It’s a concern shared by the University of Calgary’s Walter Glannon, who studies neuroethics.
“There is a risk of the microchips being hacked by third parties. This could interfere with the user’s intention to perform actions, violate privacy by extracting information from the chip,” he said.
As it stands, these risks are theoretical.
“We really first have to understand the network [of the brain] and how all of these processing units communicate with each other and interact with the world,” said Artemiadis. “We are really far away.”
Transhumanism - the new religion
Dr. Richard Seed, Human Cloning Researcher
"We are going to become gods. Period. If you don't like it, get off. You don't have to contribute. You don't have to participate. But if you're gonna interfere with ME becoming God, we're going to have big trouble. I will have warfare. The only way you can prevent me in this is to kill me. And if you kill me, I'll kill you."
While there is a big debate about whether transhumanism should be defined as a religion or not, it definitely functions like a religion, in the sense that it provides a framework of meaning for human life that contains many of the goals of classical world religions.
-
Immortality - Most religions promise the goal of immortality, either in this life or after death.
-
Some traditions (like Christianity and Islam) clearly aim for immortality after death (resurrection or heaven).
-
Other traditions (like some forms of Daoism) have aimed for immortality in this life; usually through alchemical potions or self-cultivation, such as yoga and meditation.
-
Transhumanism also aims for immortality, but through technology rather than through supernatural aid or spiritual transformation. Technologies that will be used for this include nanorobots, genetic engineering, and converting our brain activity into a digital form, and then uploading it into a supercomputer that will last forever (if possible).
-
-
Permanent happiness - Most religions seek a state of permanent happiness
-
Either in this life (nirvana in Buddhism)
-
After death (paradise in Christianity or Islam).
-
Transhumanists think this can instead be achieved by creating ‘happiness drugs’ and brain-chip interfaces that manipulate the brain’s pleasure centres.
-
-
Divinity - Most religions aspire for human beings to attain a state of divinity.
-
The transhumanist ideal is likewise for humans to become god-like creators who can manipulate the material world at will (through 3D printing and atom-assembling nano-robots), and even to create new forms of life (through synthetic biology).
-
All of this shows that transhumanism is based on the assumption that suffering (such as aging, sickness, and death) is a technical rather than a metaphysical problem, and can therefore be solved with more and better technologies.
Matthew 24:3-13 - The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age
Mt 24:3 “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
-
What big tech is telling us is that they are the way to our salvation - to eternal life - through technology
-
The elites have figured out eternal life, but our planet can not sustain the population as it is
-
"They're going to create utopia on the planet. They'll be on their own god - literally, that is what they believe. They want to annihilate 90% of the population and only reserve about 10% to serve them. And they want to genetically modify us to make us better worker bees." --Billy Crone
-
-
The Bible supports the idea that they figure out eternal life
-
Revelation 9:1 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

-
Isaiah 28:14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, 15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17 Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it.
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
https://www.ynharari.com/book/homo-deus/
Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow examines what might happen to the world when old myths (belief in God) are coupled with new godlike technologies, such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering.
Humans conquered the world thanks to their unique ability to believe in collective myths about gods, money, equality and freedom – as described in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. In Homo Deus, Prof. Harari looks to the future and explores how global power might shift, as the principal force of evolution – natural selection – is replaced by intelligent design.
What will happen to democracy when Google and Facebook come to know our likes and our political preferences better than we know them ourselves? What will happen to the welfare state when computers push humans out of the job market and create a massive new “useless class”? How might Islam handle genetic engineering? Will Silicon Valley end up producing new religions, rather than just novel gadgets?
As Homo sapiens becomes Homo deus, what new destinies will we set for ourselves? As the self-made gods of planet earth, which projects should we undertake, and how will we protect this fragile planet and humankind itself from our own destructive powers? The book Homo Deus gives us a glimpse of the dreams and nightmares that will shape the 21st century.
Sapiens explained how humankind came to rule the planet. Homo Deus examines our future. It blends science, history, philosophy, and every discipline in between, offering a vision of tomorrow that at first seems incomprehensible but soon looks undeniable: humanity will soon lose not only its dominance, but its very meaning. And we shouldn’t wait around for the resistance, either – while our favourite science fiction trope sees humans battling machines in the name of freedom and individualism, in reality these humanist myths will have long been discarded, as obsolete as cassette tapes or rain dances. This may sound alarming, but change is always frightening.
Over the past century, humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague and war. Today, more people die from obesity than from starvation; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed in war. We are the only species in earth’s long history that has single-handedly changed the entire planet, and we no longer expect any higher being to shape our destinies for us.
Success breeds ambition, and humankind will next seek immortality, boundless happiness and divine powers of creation. But the pursuit of these very goals will ultimately render most human beings superfluous. So where do we go from here? For starters, we can make today’s choices with our eyes wide open to where they are leading us. We cannot stop the march of history, but we can influence its direction.
Future-casting typically assumes that tomorrow, at its heart, will look much like today – we will possess amazing new technologies, but old humanist values like liberty and equality will still guide us. Homo Deus dismantles these assumptions and opens our eyes to a vast range of alternative possibilities, with provocative arguments on every page:
-
After four billion years of organic life, the era of inorganic life is now beginning.
-
The main products of the twenty-first century economy will not be textiles, vehicles and weapons, but bodies, brains and minds.
-
While the industrial revolution created the working class, the next big revolution will create the useless class.
-
The way humans have treated animals is a good indicator for how upgraded humans will treat the rest of us.
-
Radical Islam may fight rearguard actions, but the truly impactful religions will now emerge from Silicon Valley rather than the Middle East.
-
Democracy and the free market will both collapse once Google and Facebook know us better than we know ourselves, and authority shifts from individual humans to networked algorithms
-
We will knowingly renounce privacy in the pursuit of better health.
-
Humans won’t fight machines; they will merge with them. We are heading towards marriage rather than war.
-
Most of us will not get to decide how technology will affect our lives because most of us don’t understand it (how many of us voted on how the Internet would work?).
This is the shape of the new world, and the gap between those who get on-board and those left behind will be bigger than the gap between industrial empires and agrarian tribes, bigger even than the gap between Sapiens and Neanderthals. This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus.
TRANSHUMANISM – WILL WE BECOME GODS?
https://reubenrose.substack.com/p/transhumanism-will-we-become-gods
“Because your heart is lifted up And you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods In the heart of the seas’; Yet you are a man and not God.." Ezekiel 28:2
There is something in the heart of man to want to be like God. In fact, we all want to be gods of our own domains and like the ancient Israelites at the time of the Judges, (about 3400 years ago), to do whatever “seems right in our own eyes” (Judges 21:25). I suppose it goes back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden where the serpent told Eve that “your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God” (Genesis 3:4) but also it is a repeating theme throughout human history. So unsurprisingly, many American billionaires have poured their fortunes into searches for eternal life, artificial intelligence and the fusion of man and machine.
As I have been contemplating the search for “eternal life”, my mind was drawn back several thousand years to a plain the land of Shinar. One of the interesting periods of history after the Great Flood is described in Genesis 10. Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah, controlled the main cities in the land of Shinar, including historic Babylon. In this cradle of civilization, Nimrod, who is described as a mighty man and renowned hunter, dominated the world and seems to have had a desire to be the first global ruler. At that time, there was one common language and a project was conceived to build a tower in the plain of Shinar which had its top “in the heavens” (Genesis 11:4). It is clear that Nimrod’s plan was to make man equal with God so that as God said: “nothing they propose to do will be withheld from them” (Genesis 11:6). However, God put a spanner in the works by “confusing their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech” (Genesis 11:7). The language confusion resulted in scattering of people and the Babel tower project was shelved. However, the desire for a one world leader and a project to make us “gods” seems to have continued in our DNA since that time. This desire has made its way to the forefront of “progressive” thought leaders like Professor Yuval Harari, whose website has this arresting quote:
“history began when humans invented gods, and will end when humans become gods”.
In the last few years, Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, coined and promoted the idea of the “fourth industrial revolution” – which involves “fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human”. So various technologies, including gene editing, are being harnessed to produce a new human – where we “become gods”. Klaus and the New World Order, just like Nimrod, with delusions of grandeur, are beavering away with the help of billions of dollars from various tax-exempt foundations. Now, armed with a new Executive Order from Joe Biden, these guys can do some real harm.
Two weeks ago, I wrote about Joe Biden’s Executive Order 14081 - “Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure Bioeconomy”. Of course, Biden would have no idea what this is about but from first principles, you can guess that this executive order is likely to deliver the opposite to its name. You only have to think of the recent “Inflation Reduction Act”, guaranteed to cause further inflation.
The Presidential Order 14081 is likely to encourage unsustainable, unsafe and insecure biotechnology. The Executive Order seems have been written by a biosecurity woke random phrase generator and the first part of the order states:
“to coordinate a whole-of-government approach to advance biotechnology and biomanufacturing towards innovative solutions in health, climate change, energy, food security, agriculture, supply chain resilience, and national and economic security. Central to this policy and its outcomes are principles of equity, ethics, safety, and security that enable access to technologies, processes, and products in a manner that benefits all Americans and the global community and that maintains United States technological leadership and economic competitiveness.”
What does this all mean? Well – at the heart of this is the idea of transhumanism. Transhumanism is a term coined in 1957 by the well-known eugenicist and first Director of UNESCO, Julian Huxley. Julian Huxley was the brother of the Brave New World author, Aldous Huxley, which seems to have become a handbook for the New World Order. Huxley’s ideas have spawned the World Transhumanist Association - where transhumanism is presented as Humanity+. The idea of Humanity+ is to use science to “advance human existence” and expand human capabilities and extend life to be, as they say, “better than well”. The technologies that they cite are: artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, nanomedicine, biotechnology, stem cells, and gene therapy.
I became aware of the idea of transhumanism about 10 years ago though talks by Dr Chuck Missler and colleagues. Dr Missler described transhumanism this way:
“Since before the Pharaohs, man has tried to become like gods. Transhumanism has taken this idea to the next step, with the pursuit of immortality, omniscience, and ultimate power. Technology is paving the way for humans to achieve godhood”.
This sounded a bit far-fetched to me at the time but I have followed the ideas about transhumanism since then and most recently Elon Musk’s Neuralink has demonstrated that we are on the path to fusing man and machine, as outlined in this 2020 YouTube video:
Elon Musk's Plan To Merge Humans With A.I.
"Elon Musk's Plan To Merge Humans With A.I.Elon Musk's Plan To Merge Humans With A.I.
Musk has a way of making the impossible, possible and there are research groups working internationally to install computer chips into people’s brains. I also was shocked to find out about the research of the Wellcome Trust, a lavishly funded private foundation in the UK, that is supporting quite invasive research into neural function via the Wellcome Leap research program. It is worthwhile listening to a podcast from 2021 of James Corbett with Whitney Webb to understand more about what the Wellcome Trust is doing. This podcast is called The Wellcome Leap into Transhumanism. Whitney Webb published an article in June 2021 on her site Unlimited Hangout – which truly terrified me. So much so that I immediately got rid of my Apple Watch, which I realized was monitoring me and sending information to the New World Order!
The Wellcome Leap was spun off from the Wellcome Trust, with US$300 million in initial capital. The research is focused on medical technologies, “including a program exclusively focused on using artificial intelligence (AI), mobile sensors, and wearable brain-mapping tech for children three years old and younger.” It is extraordinary that the Wellcome Leap research hasn’t received more attention as the studies are potentially invasive and transformative of what it means to be human. There are 4 main research areas:
1) HOPE – a misnomer if ever there was one – stands for Human Organs, Physiology and Engineering. This research aims to replace drug trials on animals with gene-edited and farmed organs. Additionally, the program aims to establish machine-hybrid human organs for transplantation. They also promote the idea of genetic engineering.
2) THE FIRST 1000 DAYS – also called “cutely” – 1KD. Remarkably it seeks to use babies from 3 months to 3 years of age as its test subjects. You wonder which parents would offer their children up for these experiments but many thousands did with the COVID-19 vaccines. The research, which is truly frightening in its ambitions, aims to develop
“wearable sensors that assess physiological measures predictive of brain health (e.g., electrodermal activity, respiratory rate, and heart rate) and wireless wearable EEG or eye-tracking technology” for use in infants and children three and under.” The goals of 1KD involve: “experimenting on the cognitive augmentation of children using means developed by AI algorithms and invasive surveillance-based technology.”
Undoubtedly this modern eugenics program is coming for a child near you to “augment” him or her and develop as they call it “pruning” technologies to make the child a better fit for the New World Order. This sounds crazy but these guys have billions of dollars at their disposal and as far as I can see, there has been no pushback or accountability required for these mad scientists.
3) DELTA TISSUE – abbreviated to ∆T. Webb outlines the aims of this US$55 million program being:
“to create a platform that monitors changes in human-tissue function and interactions in real time, ostensibly to “explain the status of a disease in each person and better predict how that disease would progress.” Referring to this platform as a “tissue time machine,” Wellcome Leap sees Delta Tissue as being able to predict the onset of disease before it occurs while also allowing for medical interventions that “are targeted to the individual.”
The development of mRNA vaccine technologies was part of the lead up to the current research and the so-called “precision technologies”. Gene-editing is definitely on the horizon with potential horrific unforeseen consequences.
4) MULTI-CHANNEL PSYCH – the main initial focus is on the treatment of depression or what they term “anhedonia” – the inability to feel pleasure. The research aims to tailor therapy to specific biology and to gain access to “the biological substrate of depression – ie the brain”. Whitney Webb notes that the focus is to “develop “non-invasive” and, likely, wearable technology capable of monitoring an individual’s mood, facial expressions, social interactions, effort and motivation, and potentially even thoughts in order to “directly interrogate human brain state.”
These research projects are supported and promoted by the most influential and wealthy individuals in society and to-date, have been able to stay below the radar of most of the media. As Whitney Webb concludes:
“most of these technologies would usher in a deeply disturbing era of mass surveillance over both the external and internal activities of human beings, including young children and infants, while also creating a new era of medicine based largely on gene-editing therapies, the risks of which are considerable and also consistently downplayed by its promoters.”
Remember that already many of us are offering up our data to groups such as Apple, fitbit and others via biological “wearables”. I was one of these and I threw away my Apple watch as soon as I heard Whitney Webb’s podcast last year. Whitney provides an updated outline of the new eugenics in a podcast from a few days ago with Daniel Horowitz. It is 1 hour long but is a “must listen”
As the transhumanists search for immortality, it is not difficult to see the links to religion. In 2018, Wesley Smith wrote an interesting article titled: “Transhumanism: A Religion for Postmodern Times”. Smith says that:
“transhumanists’ greatest hope is to eternally save their minds (again, as opposed to souls) via personal uploading into computer programs. Yes, transhumanists expect to ultimately live without end in cyberspace, crafting their own virtual realities, or perhaps, merging their consciousnesses with others’ to experience multi-beinghood.”
It is clear that Biden’s Executive Order 14081 will clear any obstacles and encourage the move towards transhumanism and Leo Hohman has written that the order “pivots the entire federal government to support, fund, advance, and embed transhumanism into the fabric of American culture, economy and overall ethos.” It’s highly likely that this will occur out of our sight in the backrooms of science and politics. Hohman’s article last week in Liberty Sentinel is called “Transhumanism is the New One World Religion”. The transhumanist movement has gained steam in recent years and the darling of the World Economic Forum, Professor Yuval Harari, has expressed the big picture idea and is quoted by Leo Hohman in his article. Harari, a historian and transhumanist philosopher from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, told the UK Telegraph in 2015:
“I think it is likely in the next 200 years or so Homo sapiens will upgrade themselves into some idea of a divine being, either through biological manipulation or genetic engineering by the creation of cyborgs, part organic, part non-organic.”
The Presidential Executive Order takes a centralized approach, directing many government agencies to reorientate their work “to further societal goals related to health, climate change and energy, food and agricultural innovation, resilient supply chains, and cross-cutting scientific advances.” This is a frightening path that inevitably will involve governments overseeing genetic engineering to “improve society” and ultimately will redefine human beings as robots with biochips and new DNA. It is clear then why the global overlords are fighting the battle for gender (or rather lack of gender) so fiercely. The transhumanists see no gender and no reproduction but a cyborg existence where they live forever. It is worthwhile reading Leo Hohman’s article - where he concludes that “Christianity’s highest ideal is love”. In contrast, “transhumanism’s highest virtue is intelligence”. Leo concludes his article by quoting the famous passage about love, from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians Chapter 13:1-8
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”
It seems unlikely that the transhumanists will upload this definition of love into our re-engineered DNA and brain chips. I think that only Jesus’ return can save us from the transhumanist nightmare.
FMR GOOGLE EXECUTIVE WARNS: “WE’RE CREATING GOD” VIA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
BY ADAM ELIYAHU BERKOWITZ | OCT 3, 2021 | BIBLICAL NEWS
https://www.israel365news.com/199813/fmr-google-executive-warns-were-creating-god/
A former Google exec described how one experience developing artificial intelligence frightened him, forcing him to realize that the new technology was God-like and, as such, a threat to humanity.
AI: CHILDLIKE YET ALSO GOD-LIKE
Former Google X Chief Business Officer executive Mo Gawdat told the UK Times that experiences developing artificial intelligence at the tech giant frightened him. In one case, he described developers working on building robot arms capable of finding and picking up a small ball. After a long period of slow progress, one robotic arm succeeded in grabbing a ball and holding it up to view. To Gawdat, it seemed the AI was showing off its accomplishment. All of the robotic arms were then able to duplicate the maneuver and within a few days, they had all developed the ability to pick up anything.
“And I suddenly realized this is really scary,” Gawdat said. “It completely froze me. Like we had those things for a week. And they’re doing what children will take two years to do. And then it hit me that they are children. But very, very fast children. They get smarter so quickly! And if they’re children, and they’re observing us, I’m sorry to say, but we suck.”
He noted that even basic forms of artificial intelligence have the potential to learn incredibly quickly.
“The reality is,” he added, “we’re creating God.”
SINGULARITY: AI SURPASSING ITS CREATORS
Gawdat discussed the concept of a technological singularity, a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization.
“The singularity is approaching,” he stated adding that it threatens humanity.
Gawdat isn’t entirely pessimistic. He suggested that humans relate to AI as parents would to a child in which case, AI could “save the world.”
Egyptian-born Mohammad “Mo” Gawdat first joined Google in 2007, coupling his executive position with independent investments in tech startups. He has written about his adherence to monotheism and advocates intelligent design over evolutionary theory. He ran Google X, the highly secretive tech giant’s research and development facility.
AI IN THE END-OF-DAYS
Rabbi Michael Laitman, a leading expert in Kabbalah and the founder of Bnei Baruch Kabbalah association, believes that technology and more specifically artificial intelligence, will play a major role in the end-of-days but not necessarily a positive one.
“It is clear in Kabbalah that in the times preceding geula (redemption), Man is going to utilize the entire potential of technology,” Rabbi Laitman told Israel365 News. “Men will begin to create artificial intelligence. People will want to achieve something similar to the creation of Man.”
“In the time of the geula, people will understand that all of this development, all throughout history, is what brought us to an even greater collapse,” he stressed. “This will become very clear in war when we see that all of the technology we developed for man’s good can immediately turn around and be used against man.”
Rabbi Laitman believes that the same motives of Man which led to the construction of the Tower of Babel are also in play with the development of artificial intelligence.
“Men wanted to ascend to the heavens and become like God,” the rabbi explained. “To do this, they were dealing with the basic foundations of creation. They wanted to fix something inside man they believed was a blemish.”
Though this motive sounds noble, Rabbi Laitman pointed out a flaw that turned their good intentions into evil.
“This came from a place of ego, in which they wanted to take the place of God,” Rabbi Laitman said.
AI: RELIGION AND APOCALYPSE
It seems that Google engenders divine thoughts among its high-level employees. In 2015, Anthony Levandowski, the key engineer behind much of the technology used by the multi-billion dollar self-driving car industry, filed paperwork in California creating a new religious organization called Way of the Future. The AI-centric church was dedicated to “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society.”
Levandowski compared AI to God.
“It’s not a god in the sense that it makes lightning or causes hurricanes. But if there is something a billion times smarter than the smartest human, what else are you going to call it,” Levandowski told Wired.
“This time you will be able to talk to God, literally, and know that it’s listening,” he told Wired.
High-tech entrepreneur Elon Musk Musk has described the possibility of artificial intelligence as the single biggest threat to the existence of humanity. This did not prevent Musk from launching a project to produce a humanoid AI robot.
TRANSHUMANISM: THE PLOT TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE!
If our world is not on a direct path to the fulfillment of Revelation 13:16-18, the only alternative is to assume that something with a striking and most uncanny resemblance to the mark of the beast will appear in the not-too-distant future.
In other words, if what the transhumanist propose for our world is not the prelude to the mark of the beast, then I do not know what would be. Their plans for the future fit like a glove with what the apostle John wrote about the mark of the beast.
The words of Revelation 13:16-18 represent a specific, detailed prophecy and that cannot reach its full fruition until after the antichrist begins his reign of terror during the seven-year tribulation. Even so, we already see Satan’s evil and deadly end-of-days’ design for humanity at work in the plans of those who seek to impose transhumanism upon us.
Why do I say that this prophecy is already in play? Continue reading as I make my case in this post and those that follow.
WHAT IS TRANSHUMANISM?
Transhumanism is the combining of machines and human beings.
David Tippett, a contributor to the World Economic Forum (WEF) website, described transhumanism in this way:
It is rooted in the belief that humans can and will be enhanced by the genetic engineering and information technology of today, as well as anticipated advances, such as bioengineering, artificial intelligence, and molecular nanotechnology. The result is an iteration of Homo sapiens enhanced or augmented, but still fundamentally human.
The central premise of transhumanism, then, is that biological evolution will eventually be overtaken by advances in genetic, wearable and implantable technologies that artificially expedite the evolutionary process.[i]
The globalists of our day propose to fundamentally change humanity through means that include the changing of the human DNA (i.e., “nanotechnology”). Contrary to what the WEF would have us believe, the end result of this artificial “biological evolution” will be something far different than what God created as well as what Jesus died on the cross to redeem.
Dr. Carrie Madej, in her April 19, 2021 video, defined transhumanism in a similar way as in the above quote, but also warned of its many dire consequences for our future as the elite of the world seek to exercise complete control of our behavior.[ii]
In November of 2017, an article appeared on the Forbes website with this title: Transhumanism and The Future of Humanity: 7 Ways the World Will Change By 2030. Here is a quote from the introduction of this article:
This transformation will be messy, complex, and sometimes scary, but signals already point to a future of humanity that will blur our identities into “transhumanism.”[iii]
Several disturbing statements regarding transhumanism emerge from this Forbes 2017 article. The assertion of the author that transhumanism will “blur our identities,” however, shocks me the most. It confirms the planned merging of machines with our bodies would remove what makes us human.
WHO IS BEHIND TRANSHUMANISM?
Lest you think that transhumanism is just the aspiration of a few mad scientists, please know that many of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world openly support the combining of humans and machines as the next step in the “evolutionary process.” This concept finds its most fervent and outspoken support in the WEF. Its website contains an abundance of information on the combining of humans with machines.
Please know that the WEF is not some obscure fringe group. President Biden ran for office under the theme of “Build Back Better;” a slogan he took directly from the WEF as an indication of his support for its agenda. John Kerry, a prominent member of Biden’s administration, has pledged the full support of the Biden administration to the Great Reset championed by the WEF.
An article on the New American website ties together the Great Reset advocated by the WEF and the Biden administration with the push for transhumanism:
Under the new world order envisioned by the proponents of the United Nations-backed “Great Reset,” humans will be merged with machines and technology. Literally. Perhaps most incredibly, the Deep State globalists behind the efforts are coming out of the closet. These days, they are openly and literally proclaiming their intention to abolish private ownership of property and even fuse microchips into people’s brains that will be able to read and manipulate individuals’ thoughts.[iv]
Please read the preceding quote again. It aptly summarizes my research and correctly connects the Great Reset of the WEF with its push for transhumanism through which it will “read and manipulate” the thoughts of those under it domain.
Notice also the reference to the “deep state” in the United States in the preceding quote; this refers to those in the U.S. who put Biden in office and now control his presidency. These elite globalists in the U.S. and throughout the world talk openly about their plans for both transhumanism and the Great Reset.
Consider this quote from the WEF website regarding the changes they plan for our world under what the WEF calls the “Fourth Industrial Revolutions,” their term for transhumanism:
The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technology advances commensurate with those of the first, second and third industrial revolutions. These advances are merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that create both huge promise and potential peril. The speed, breadth and depth of this revolution is forcing us to rethink how countries develop, how organisations create value and even what it means to be human.[v]
Though it may sound benign on the surface, the purpose of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” is not to benefit humanity, no, not at all. It’s the vehicle through which the WEF, along with globalists at the United Nations and in America, hope to force people into accepting a tyrannical and Marxist government through which they intend to control the lives of everyone on the planet.
The Great Reset agenda necessitates augmenting humans in such a way that will allow those in power to monitor and control their behavior via external computer networks and artificial intelligence.
HOW WILL THE CHANGE HAPPEN?
How will these powerbrokers augment the makeup of human beings so as to merge them with machines? To answer that question, we begin with the words of Klaus Schwab of the WEF. In a January 10, 2016 interview, he explained “that human beings will soon receive a chip in their body in order to merge [them] with the digital world.” Below is another excerpt from this interview:
Schwab: “And at first, we will implant them in our clothes. And then we could imagine that we will implant them in our brains, or in our skin. And in the end, maybe, here will be a direct communication between our brain and the digital world. What we see is a kind of fusion of the physical, digital, and biological world.”
Interviewer: “We call someone, we don’t even have the reflex to take a device, it’s done naturally, the technique continues in the body.” Schwab: “Yes.
Interviewer: ”When will happen? Schwab: “Certainly in the next ten years.”[vi]
The following two points sum up the essence of transhumanism:
-
The process includes augmenting humans into something quite different than what God created as well as implanting a device inside them that will connect them to the digital world outside them.
-
The plan consists of connecting humans to the “digital world,” such as a supercomputer, that will monitor their behavior for the ultimate purpose of controlling it through the blending of people with machines.
At this point, however, it appears that these globalists might have a problem.
How do they put such a system in place? The vast majority of people would readily reject the changes that I have described in this post and rightly so. Some might desire the enhanced artificial intelligence that will come as the result of transhumanism, but not everything else that would come with it.
In part 2 of this series entitled Transhumanism: Is It Already Here? I will describe the deceitful plan of the transhumanists that they intend to use in augmenting human beings into something currently unrecognizable. Please keep reading as I continue to connect the dots.
My book, The Triumph of the Redeemed-An eternal Perspective that Calms Our Fears in Perilous Times, is now available on Amazon. It’s written to provide hope for the perilous times in which we live.

Transhumanists Gather In Spain To Plan Global Transformation
https://thefederalist.com/2021/10/15/transhumanists-gather-in-spain-to-plan-global-transformation/
TransVision 2021 saw technologists push radical visions for our future. Apparently, the clueless public is to be propagandized — not consulted.
Transhumanism is a futuristic religion that exalts technology as the highest power. The movement’s goal is to merge man with machine. Their wildest prophecies seem ridiculous at first, until you consider the dizzying advances in bionics, robotics, neuroprosthetics, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering.
Prominent figures gathered at the TransVision 2021 conference in Madrid over the weekend. Listening to the proceedings online, I heard a broad range of totalizing schemes. There were no Luddites or Amish onstage, but of course, Spain is a long haul for a horse-and-buggy. Besides, no unvaccinated person can legally cross the Spanish border.
Transhumanists hold that the human condition of ignorance, loneliness, sadness, disease, old age, and death can be transcended through improved gadgetry. Many believe tribalism will also be eliminated — perhaps through brain implants — but this elite clique tends to be so convicted, legacy humans will have no say in the matter.
Their radical ideas are hardly marginal. Transhuman values have been implicitly embraced by the world’s wealthiest technologists. Consider Bill Gates pushing universal jabs, Jeff Bezos’s quest for “life extension,” Elon Musk’s proposed brain implants, Mark Zuckerberg’s forays into the Metaverse, and Eric Schmidt’s plans for an American technocracy racing against China.
If Big Tech is the established church, transhumanists are Desert Fathers in the wilderness.
The Cult of the Singularity
Naturally, the dominant tone at TransVision was set by hardcore transhumanists: Max and Natasha More, José Cordeiro, David Wood, Jerome Glenn, Phillipe van Nedervelde, Ben Goertzel, Aubrey de Grey, Bill Faloon, and even in his absence, Ray Kurzweil, a top R&D director at Google and founder of Singularity University. Each proponent has a unique angle, but they converge on a shared mythos.
Allowing for variation, transhumanists confess there is no God but the future Computer God. They believe neuroprosthetics will allow communion with this artificial deity. They believe robot companions should be normalized. They believe longevity tech will confer approximate immortality. They believe virtual reality provides a life worth living. Above all, they believe the Singularity is near.
According to the Cult of the Singularity and its prophet, Ray Kurzweil, we’ll see artificial general intelligence by 2029. Unlike narrow algorithms performing specific tasks, AGI will be robust cognition enacted by neural networks, far faster than any human brain.
By 2045 (or 2049), we will hit the Singularity — when artificial superintelligence surpasses human intellect to the point we cannot comprehend its output. Purely organic humans will be left in the smart dust. Our only chance for long-term survival is to fuse our minds and bodies with the All-Powerful Machine — to become a new posthuman species.
Therefore, our meaning in life is to make sure the future Computer God is benevolent, while we still have time. (In most cases, “benevolent” is synonymous with “lefty globalist.”) Today’s machine learning systems are prompted by programmers, then trained with our language and behavior via mass data extraction.
As computers advance to superintelligence, the story goes, their output will tilt toward humanity’s moral compass. Eventually, this digital deity may colonize distant galaxies — turning all usable matter into computerized mind — so our actions today might determine the fate of the entire universe.
I’m reminded of the subterranean mutants who worshiped the atom bomb in “Beneath the Planet of the Apes.” Many mammals use tools to survive, but even a chimp knows better than to raise up a stick and call it “God.”
Technocracy and Its Discontents
Back on Earth, the early phase of this scheme is far from heaven. Just as the TV kept Americans pacified and glued to their couches, the digital revolution has profound demoralizing and dehumanizing effects.
To their credit, TransVision invited a handful of critics to ring alarm bells. The ethicist Sara Lumbreras discussed the devastating impact of smartphones and social media on attention span, memory, and self-control. “If you can just Google the information, why does it matter?” she asked. “Because remembering things is the only way that we can use that information for critical thinking and for creative thinking.”
Both transhumanists and Luddites see 24/7 reliance on smartphones as an early phase of our symbiosis with machines. For all the convenience gained, many schoolteachers worry that the shift to digital platforms is making kids antisocial and functionally illiterate. An entire generation is being lost to self-pleasure.
The Wireheading Myth
Oxford philosopher Anders Sandberg discussed a 1954 experiment in neuroprosthetics. Using electro-stimulation, the scientist James Olds discovered the pleasure center in a rat’s brain. He wired up numerous rats, enabling them to stimulate themselves by pressing a lever. These rodent “wireheads” ceased to do anything besides push the lever. One by one, they died with smiles on their faces.
Video games and corporate opioids find us in a similar predicament. Even in the Victorian era, Sandberg explained, intellectuals wondered if humans were already becoming parasites on machines. “They connected that to discoveries in biology that parasites quite often seem to be simplified forms of older species [and they thought] we might become some kind of barnacle sitting on the technological infrastructure, slowly losing our brains.”
Hence, the “Wireheading Myth” — the narrative that civilization could collapse due to techno-hedonism. Sandberg insisted that while this story isn’t completely untrue, it isn’t inevitable either. “Building real happiness is a really complex thing, but we know we can make it increase.”
In conclusion, he wondered, “Can we use the transhuman ambition to say … ‘I want to be way happier, I want entire societies to be happier. … I want my artificial intelligences to go for the true and daimonic good?’”
From Atari to Alpha Centauri
Sandberg is an optimist, but not without reservations. He has contemplated the dangers of artificial superintelligence rigorously. This digital entity would be entirely unpredictable to mere human minds, and perhaps uncontrollable. In a real sense, advanced AI is comparable to the development of thermonuclear warheads.
A humorous hypothetical is an AI system that makes paperclips. What if it goes haywire and turns everything on Earth into paperclips, including us? More realistically, what if an advanced AI is programmed to solve climate change, then arrives at the straightforward conclusion that humans must be exterminated?
Sandberg takes these existential risks seriously, but in the end, he’s ready to go for it.
A Kinder, Gentler Cyborg
The term “transhumanism” evokes such revulsion, normal people immediately recoil. So the alpha-dog transhumanist Max More — a leading figure at Alcor cryonics lab — urged the audience to abandon loaded words like “immortality” in favor of “life extension.” Meanwhile, 184 deceased customers lay frozen at his facility, some $200,000 in the hole, waiting to be resurrected.
We mortals have more pressing concerns. Discussing the displacement of actual people by robots and artificial intelligence, Jerome Glenn of the Millennium Project was emphatic that “artists, media moguls, and entertainers” should psychologically prepare the public to accept economic obsolescence.
The loudest alarm was sounded by tech ethicist Nell Watson, an Apple consultant and chairwoman at IEEE. “The global health crises are being used as an excuse for greater authoritarianism,” she said, shocking everyone awake. “[T]his could end up as a Trojan Horse for some kind of social credit-style monitoring system.”
“Today, it’s immunity therapies,” Watson warned, “but in 10 or 15 years, it might be people who reject some kind of brain-computer interface … or a financial technology that’s linked to biometrics.” She worried that transhumanists might become scapegoats for oppressive policies they are not responsible for.
In response, Anders Sandberg took to Twitter to defend vaccine mandates in the workplace. The conference proceeded apace.
The Future Has Already Arrived
As a broad ideology, transhumanism is as relevant for the 21st century as communism was for the 20th century. In the mid-1800s, Karl Marx and his crew were mere socialist intellectuals. By 1923, the Bolsheviks had taken over Russia. By 1949, Mao had taken over China. In our age of all-pervasive technology, entire societies are revolutionized before anyone can grasp the change.
The futurists who gathered in Madrid last weekend — along with those preaching technocracy at the World Economic Forum — are laying the intellectual groundwork for a fully digitized social order. Today, it’s the Fourth Industrial Revolution — a global paradigm of total transformation — embraced by Microsoft, Alibaba, Sony, General Motors, Mozilla, and Salesforce, among many others. Tomorrow, the faithful proclaim, it will be artificial superintelligence, brain implants, and unstoppable killer drones.
The labels don’t matter. To the extent that Silicon Valley, the Chinese tech sector, and various quirky start-ups converge on the central goal — to merge human beings with digital devices — you could say transhumanism is already a ruling ideology. One has only to look past this text and focus on the glowing screen to see their fantasies are becoming reality.
TRANSHUMANISM: IS IT ALREADY HERE?
The globalists have already begun implementing their plan to bring about the widespread acceptance of their transhumanism agenda to control your life, but very few people recognize it as such.
In order to reach their objective, the new world order, these elite powerbrokers have deceived many people into believing they have their best interests at heart. They have done this in order to gain our acceptance of the initial steps of augmenting what it means to be a human being.
They have done this through the opportunity afforded them by COVID-19.
ENTER COVID-19
COVID-19 appeared at just the right time to both enhance and advance the plans of the transhumanists for what the World Economic Forum (WEF) refers to as the Great Reset.
The Great Reset represents the building back of sustainable economic and environmental systems to replace those that currently exist. Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the WEF, unveiled it in May of 2020 as a way for the globalists of our day to replace capitalism with Communism in the wake of the economic devastation he expected from the impact of COVID-19.
Schwab said this about COVID-19 in July of 2020, “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.”[i] Here “reimagine” equals the merging of humans with machines and “reset” refers to the Marxist government that the WEF promotes under via its Great Reset.
COVID-19 was not something that caught powerbrokers such as Klaus Schwab by surprise. They already had carefully laid plans in place as to how they would seize this “window of opportunity” long before December of 2019. They had mapped out a strategy whereby people would accept their solution to the crisis.
Peter Koenig, a geopolitical analyst and a former Senior Economist at the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO) wrote the following about COVID-19:
“We are indeed living in a very dystopian world, in a Twilight Zone. Once you see it – then you don’t; the disaster planned upon us. Does anyone still doubt that it is NOT a coincidence that all the 193 UN member countries were at once befallen by this mysterious virus, and that all at once had to “perform” their first lockdown? Namely mid-March 2020? ALL countries? On commando.
“Doesn’t this look like there is another motive behind?
“Is it a coincidence, that there is the 2010 Rockefeller Report (focusing on the Lockstep scenario) predicting ten years later as the first step in their nefarious 4-phase plan, the “Lockstep Scenario” – which is exactly what we are experiencing now; the entire western civilization is walking in lockstep, as we are told.
“Then there is the infamous Event 201 of 18 October 2019 in New York City , where the Johns Hopkins Center for Medicine, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the WEF sponsored a computer simulation of a corona virus striking the world, a simulation causing 65 million deaths in 18 months and a total destruction of the world economy. Coincidentally, just a couple of months before the first corona case, SARS-CoV-2, was discovered in China.
“. . . . the planned disaster that is still upon us under many different names, the pandemic, better called “plandemic”, is just the engine that drives a much heavier agenda – the elements of the Great Reset which are also the components of the so-called UN Agenda 2030.”[ii]
Though not a believer in Jesus nor the Bible, Koenig recognizes what most pastors and many Christians and pastors today refuse to acknowledge. He sees the true agenda behind COVID-19 as aiding the implementation of the Great Reset.
I believe the globalists planned the disaster we know as COVID-19 and it’s performing the desired function of pushing people toward their twin objectives of a new world order and transhumanism. Aided greatly by a willing media, the elite have created a climate of fear via inflated numbers of cases and deaths. As a result, many people live in a state of panic and have already given up many of their rights for the sake of health and safety.
Please know that I am in no way minimizing the toll that the virus has taken on those who have suffered greatly or lost loved ones because of it. COVID-19 has caused many deaths and much suffering throughout the world. However, the virus required much planning in order for it to reach 193 nations at the same time and for the media to behave as needed, in “lockstep,” to generate the needed worldwide fright that has ensued.
COVID-19 VACCINES AND TRANSHUMANISM
The globalists needed a worldwide atmosphere of fear so as to mandate their experimental gene therapy injections for which people would line up to receive, believing the shots would save them from suffering and perhaps death. And that is what has happened.
Please consider the following evidence linking transhumanism to these so-called COVID-19 vaccines.
Consider this Forbes article from November 20, 2017 entitled, Transhumanism and The Future of Humanity: 7 Ways the World Will Change By 2030. The following quote appears under the heading of “Our bodies will be augmented.”
The coming years will usher in a number of body augmentation capabilities that will enable humans to be smarter, stronger, and more capable than we are today. Wearables will be one form of body augmentation, but they will far surpass the fitness trackers of today. . . . We will also see increased use of implants ranging from brain microchips and neural lace to mind-controlled prosthesis and subdermal RFID chips that allow users to unlock doors or computer passwords with the wave of a hand. However, the most powerful body augmentation will come from biological augmentation as a result of increased insight into our genomes, advances in IVF technology that may allow us to select the most intelligent embryos, and powerful CRISPR gene-editing technology which may one day give us the ability to eliminate all heritable diseases.
These body augmentation capabilities will give rise to humans that are more resilient, optimized and continually monitored.[iii] (Emphasis mine)
A couple things jump out at me from this quote. First, the author of this article envisions that the merging of humans with machines will happen by 2030, which is the same year the UN plans to have their one-world government in place via the goals of their Agenda 2030. It’s not a coincidence that that the objective of the transhumanists aligns with that of the UN’s goals for a world government.
Second, the “CRISPR gene-editing technology” that they say will augment our bodies is exactly what we see in the mRNA injections in response to COVID-19. What the Forbes article predicted back in 2017 would lead to the augmenting of humans has become a reality in 2020-21 with the emergence of “CRISPR” gene therapy injections as a way to prevent the China virus.
As further evidence of the long-term planning behind what we see today, ponder this quote from Aldous Huxley at the California Medical School in 1961:
There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.[iv]
What Huxley talked about in 1961 is fast becoming a reality. Transhumanism has become the euphemism for “brainwashing” the masses in order to make people accept the Marxist government that the globalists have long had in mind for the world. “Pharmacological methods” have become the weapon of choice for the transhumanists to change humanity so as to control people and cause them to accept the future tyrannical and Marxist world order.
I believe the COVID-19 “vaccine” was ready, or at least far along in its development, well before December of 2019, when the virus first appeared.
The concept of an mRNA “vaccine” to deliver a “spike protein” to every cell in the human body did not materialize and become a reality in less than a year after the virus first appeared. The previous quote from Forbes tells us that the research into gene-editing mRNA injections as a way to treat disease was well under way in 2017.
From its start in 2010, Moderna grew to employ hundreds of scientists and engineers working on their mRNA injections.[v] Where did they get the massive funding for this? How did they know they would eventually make billions of dollars from their injections for an “unknown” and still future virus that would require their spike protein technology as a remedy?
Moderna is now “anticipated to make $13.2 billion in COVID-19 vaccine revenue in 2021.” The Moderna CEO, Stéphane Bancel, is a new billionaire with a net worth of $4 billion.[vi] Not a bad payoff for the company’s first medication ever to hit the market.
Note: I have since learned that the U.S. government also gave $6 billion to Moderna for its development of their gene-therapy injection.
THE CURRENT COVID-19 VACCINES HAVE OPENED THE DOOR
Please know that I am not in any way equating the current COVID-19 vaccines to the “Mark of the Beast” of Revelation 13. The antichrist, who will receive worship along with the mark, cannot appear on the world scene until after the rapture (see 2 Thess. 2:3-8). The church will not be on the earth when the “lawless one” begins his reign of terror and enforces his mark under the penalty of death.
Having said that, I believe the initial COVID-19 injections have opened the door to an outside governing body monitoring and later controlling the behavior of people. This is quite difficult for me to write about because I have many dear friends and family members who have already received the so-called COVID-19 vaccines. But I must say this:
If you have already received these injections; please, please do not accept future COVID-19 experimental injections. Dr. Fauci is now saying that booster shots will be necessary as early as the Fall of 2021. According to CDC VAERs reports as of May 25, 2021, 4,863 people have died in the U.S. as a result of the COVID-19 injections. See my previous post on the dangers of these shots. The European Medicines Agency (EMA), an agency of the European Union (EU), reports that from January 1 through May 22, 2021, they have recorded 12,184 deaths and 604,704 serious injuries following injections from the four experimental COVID-19 shots available in the EU.
THE MODERNA OPERATING SYSTEM
The fact that Moderna compares their mRNA injection to an “operating system” further substantiates the detailed advance planning involved for both the virus and their response to it. The company regards their first vaccine as the initial step that will pave the way for future injections.
If you do a search on this, you will run across many “fact-checkers” that will tell you that my claim is false. However, I took what follows directly from Moderna’s website:
Our Operating System
Recognizing the broad potential of mRNA science, we set out to create an mRNA technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the "program” or “app” is our mRNA drug - the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein.
We have a dedicated team of several hundred scientists and engineers solely focused on advancing Moderna's platform technology. They are organized around key disciplines and work in an integrated fashion to advance knowledge surrounding mRNA science and solve for challenges that are unique to mRNA drug development. Some of these disciplines include mRNA biology, chemistry, formulation & delivery, bioinformatics and protein engineering.[vii]
According to the words on the Moderna website, their “mRNA drug,” which can only refer to their vaccine, acts like an “operating system” on a computer to which they can “plug and play” future programs into the human body.
What will be the purpose of the future programs to which the scientists at Moderna intend to plug into the human body? What do they intend to deliver through future injections?
By itself, the wording on the Moderna website might not cause great alarm.
However, the mRNA injections come at a time when the most powerful people in the world are pushing for the merging of humans with machines along with implementation of a Marxist world government. The Forbes’ article from 2017 tells us that the transhumanists/globalists planned years ago to augment the human body through CRISPR gene-editing technology, which are the current mRNA injections.
In addition, the warning of President Biden concerning those who refuse the COVID-19 vaccines should send chills down our spines. Why is this ardent supporter of the Great Reset telling us that we must take an experimental and highly dangerous “gene-editing” medication or we will end up “paying the price?”[viii]
CONNECTING THE DOTS
Building on what we learned from both posts so far, hopefully the following points will connect many of the dots for you:
-
The transhumanists planned years ago to augment humans into something quite different than what God created. This process included changing the human DNA via pharmaceuticals and implanting a device inside people that will connect them to the digital world.
-
COVID-19 provided the powerbrokers of our world with what Klaus Schwab said was a “rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.”[ix] Here “reimagine” equals the merging of humans with machines and “reset” refers to the communist government that the WEF promotes via its Great Reset.
-
Two years before COVID-19 struck, an article appeared on the Forbes website detailing the plans for the merging of humans with machines by 2030. In it, the author stated that the “augmentation” of the human body would include “powerful CRISPR gene-editing technology,” which emerged in 2020 in the form of mRNA injections.
-
The COVID-19 mRNA treatments have thus enabled the globalists to begin their quest of merging people with machines because they provide a path for further modification of the human DNA, or what Moderna calls an “operating system.”
-
The very people who have a vested interest in making the Great Reset happen are the very ones not only promoting transhumanism, but also demanding that everyone receive the still experimental COVID-19 injections for a virus with a 99.5% survivability rate for the majority of people. Why is that? What is the dire urgency that compels them to force a highly dangerous injections on us, which the FDA approved for “emergency use” only?
I have watched several videos where highly acclaimed doctors, many leaders in their various fields, connect the dots between transhumanism and COVID-19 injections with much greater detail than I have done in this post. A few of these videos left me speechless and numb for several minutes after watching them before an awareness came over me that the Lord’s return for His church must be breathtakingly close if what I heard was true.
Next, we will connect more dots between the transhumanists and their plans to enslave everyone on the planet. Please remember as you read that this cannot happen until after the rapture.
If you remain skeptical of what I have written so far, I invite you to keep reading. In the next post, I will show how three current initiatives are in sync with what Revelation 13:16-18 says about the Mark of the Beast. In my next post, I will show how the key parts are already in place for the antichrist to use in controlling the world’s commerce.
My book, The Triumph of the Redeemed-An eternal Perspective that Calms Our Fears in Perilous Times, is now available on Amazon. It’s written to provide hope for the perilous times in which we live.

Humanity 2.0: 'The Fusion Of Our Physical, Digital, And Biological Identities'
Technocrats invent because they can, not because they have a mandate to do so. Transhumans are racing to create Humanity 2.0 by mastering the human genome and hence, the functional operation of humans. Thus, meddling with the human immune system with mRNA injections is merely a warm up to what is coming down the line. ⁃ TN Editor
Artificial intelligence is pulling new vaccines out of the Platonic realm. Automated labs are on standby, prepared to crank out alien strands of mRNA and pack them into toxic nanoparticles. A billion empty syringes are waiting on shelves.
This is not science fiction. These jabs will be on the market before you can say “boostah.”
Google. Moderna. Microsoft. They’re all racing to the edge. This is corporate transhumanism in all its avaricious glory, riding waves of propaganda and channeled by the biosecurity state.
These people uphold a new mythos whose axis mundi is the Machine. In their world, digital minds are “dreaming up” novel genetic configurations. Biological systems are treated as “living software.” With each technical advance, their myths bleed into our reality.
A 2019 white paper from Policy Horizons Canada Horizons describes this shift as a “biodigital convergence,” characterized by:
1 – Full physical integration of biological and digital entities
2 – Coevolution of biological and digital entities
3 – Conceptual convergence of biological and digital systems
Our intelligentsia—the elites “educated beyond their level of intelligence”—are undergoing a sort of religious conversion. Their world has been illuminated by gene sequencing and neural networks.
Their machines have convinced them that living things are just clunky machines. Our immune systems require software updates. Our flawed genomes need debugging. In order to get there, our brains must be augmented.
“Reality explored by AI, or with the assistance of AI, may prove to be something other than what humans had imagined,” wrote ex-Google chief Eric Schmidt in his 2021 book The Age of AI. “Across the biological, chemical, and physical sciences, a hybrid partnership is emerging in which AI is enabling new discoveries.”
For Schmidt and his coauthors, this vantage point has a mystical quality:
The prognostications of the Gnostic philosophers, of an inner reality beyond ordinary experience, may prove newly significant. … Sometimes, the result will be the revelation of properties of the world that were beyond our conception—until we cooperated with machines.
Lifeless eyes gaze out on a world composed of numbers. Every living creature is just data to be manipulated.
On July 28, Google’s DeepMind announced its powerful AI system, AlphaFold, has modeled the 3D structures of some 200 million proteins. That’s almost every protein on the planet, published on an open database. Even if we account for errors, no human team has achieved anything close to this.
AlphaFold is a deep learning system. In the initial phase, it was trained on the datasets of known protein structures. Over the past two years, programmers have turned it loose on every genome ever sequenced. The AI can look at any gene and convert the DNA to protein—in virtual space—then predict the folding pattern with remarkable accuracy.
That means scientists can anticipate any protein’s function, whether natural or artificial, starting with nothing but its DNA sequence. That also means genetic engineers can predict what mutations will produce new functions—in silico—before they ever test it in the lab. Months of trial-and-error can be done by computer in an instant. It’s a trashuman fantasy come to life.
The project’s leader, Dame Janet Thornton, told The Guardian, “This insight will now be used to design improved vaccines which induce the most potent transmission-blocking antibodies.”
In the next few years, a flood of experimental mRNA vaccines—all designed using AI—will flood the pharmaceutical market. Moderna is working on fifteen different concoctions, targeting everything from the common flu and HIV to malaria and dengue fever. If they can drum up enough public anxiety, we’ll soon see two-legged bio-machines lined up around the block to get their injectable updates.
“We call mRNA the software of life,” Moderna’s CEO told MIT Sloan. “You can copy and paste the information into a lot of drugs by using the same technology.” In the spirit of biodigital convergence, Moderna has trademarked the name “mRNA OS”—as in “mRNA operating system.”
Back in 2017, Moderna’s chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, explained this approach to his TEDx audience:
We’ve been living this phenomenal digital and scientific revolution. And I’m here today to tell you that we’re actually hacking the software of life.
Using Moderna’s zany jargon, Zaks described the transcription of DNA into mRNA and proteins as an “operating system”:
If you think about what it is we’re trying to do, we’ve taken information…and how that information is transmitted in a cell. And we’ve taken our understanding of medicine and how to make drugs. And we’re fusing the two.
We think of it as “information therapy.”
That means new inoculations, new cancer treatments, new gene therapies—and maybe a few potions to make designer humans—all developed using AI and manufactured by robots.
If nothing else, Moderna has reprogrammed our federal budget. The US government is about to pay $1.47 billion in taxpayer money for 66 million doses of Moderna’s new Omicron strain. That’s on top of more than 200 million original doses already administered nationwide. The company’s meteoric stocks have produced five billionaires since the pandemic started.
“The era of the digital vaccine is here,” a GlaxoSmithKline team declared in Science.
It’s a Jab 2.0 for Humanity 2.0.
It’s fitting that Moderna’s mRNA vaxx was initially funded with $20 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2016. Microsoft’s founder is all about operating systems and viruses and sci-fi swindles. Consider his endless vaccine initiatives—or the Epstein flight logs. It seems like Bill would jab anything that moves, no matter how innocent.
For Bill Gates and his cyber-conquistadors, biodigital convergence is the next frontier. Just before the pandemic broke out, Microsoft spotlighted Sara-Jane Dunn and her work at the company’s Station B. She waxed poetic about programmable bio-machines in an official propaganda video:
The last technological revolution, the software revolution, was defined by our ability to encode 1’s and 0’s on silicon. The next revolution won’t be about 1’s and 0’s. It will be about our ability to code A’s, G’s, C’s, and T’s—the building blocks of DNA. …
Everywhere I look, I see cells operating as little computers. … You can think of this as living software.
This approach is applied to everything from gene therapies to the creation of synthetic organisms. In partnership with Oxford Biomedica and other tech companies, the team at Station B is dedicated to building “integrated systems” to “program biology more effectively”—as if mice and men really were “living software.”
In this mentality, we’re not souls enshrined in bodies. We’re half-assed bots constructed by faulty genes. Our only hope is to be reprogrammed.
Of course, Dunn makes a lot of noise about “ethical concerns” and “unintentional consequences.” They all do. But listening to her, you get the feeling that Microsoft is run by mad scientists with more stock options than common sense. Dunn seems intoxicated by her transhuman dreams:
We’ve developed biological programming languages that allow us to encode our designs for genetic circuits. Our tools allow us to compile these designs down to the DNA code, then to automatically run our experiments in the lab. The experiments are run on lab robots, and then we pull the data from those experiments and store it in a Microsoft cloud storage space [and] our knowledge base is continuously updated by automated learning.
That’s right. Microsoft has robo-labs to create designer genes. Google uses AI to digitize every protein in the world. Moderna is cranking out mRNA jabs like they’re cheap software patches.
To biotech cyborgs, everything looks like a computer simulation.
In 2021, the UK Ministry of Defense put out a white paper entitled Human Augmentation: The Dawn of a New Paradigm. If you ever wondered about the connection between mask Karens and cyborg super-soldiers, this is the place to start. After hyping genetic enhancement and brain-controlled drones, the authors take a sudden detour to scold the vaxx hesitant as technophobes:
The history of vaccinations demonstrates how proven, and seemingly uncontroversial human augmentation technologies can take many years to become globally effective and accepted by societies. … Human augmentation my be resisted by elements of society that do not trust the effectiveness and motive of augmentation.
Call me “phobic” all you want—I’m not down with getting penetrated by Big Pharma. I don’t want my veins clotting up with “information therapy.” I don’t trust these people and I don’t trust their calculations. Not unless they’re counting money.
Think about when your web-browser crashes, or your Internet goes down. Now imagine that happening to your immune system. Imagine your heart doing an automatic reboot.
It ain’t easy being a caveman, but it’s preferable to whatever Big Tech and Big Pharma have conspired to turn us into.
We are not machines to be reprogrammed. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. More than likely, they’re just paid to say so.
We Are One of the Last Chapters in the Story of Homo Sapiens.

Transhumanist Theorist Calls the AI-Unenhanced ‘Useless People’
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/transhumanist-theorist-calls-the-ai-unenhanced-useless-people/
Transhumanism, boiled down to its bones, is pure eugenics. It calls itself “H+,” for more or better than human. Which, of course, is what eugenics is all about.
Alarmingly, transhumanist values are being embraced at the highest strata of society, including in Big Tech, in universities, and among the Davos crowd of globalist would-be technocrats. That being so, it is worth listening in to what they are saying under the theory that forewarned is forearmed.
Israeli philosophy professor Yuval Harari is one of the movement’s chief proselytizers. He believes that AI/human hybrids are inevitably going to take over — and that those of us who refuse to join our minds with these computer programs will come to be considered a “useless class,” or even, “useless people.” From the Miami Standard story:
Harari went on to say that humanity is in the midst of a “second industrial revolution” centered around artificial intelligence. “But the product this time will not be textiles, or machines, or vehicles, or even weapons, the product this time will be humans themselves,” Harari asserted. “We are basically learning to produce bodies and minds. Bodies and minds are going to be I think the two main products of the next wave of all these changes.”
The “useless people” referenced by the WEF advisor would be those who refuse to be injected with artificial intelligence capabilities in the coming decades. Describing humans as “hackable animals”, Harari believes that “the masses” would “not stand much of a chance” against these changes even if they were to organize.
Ah, the old “resistance is futile” gambit.
What will happen to “useless people?”
“The problem is more boredom, what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless,” Harari continued. “My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games.”
Caesar would approve.
It is tempting to fall prey to such nihilism. But resistance is not futile if we continually remind ourselves that no human life is ever “meaningless” or “worthless.” And even if Harari is right that we eventually devolve into a Brave New World caste system, the unenhanced still would retain the most important and powerful human characteristic of all: the ability to love.
Love isn’t something that transhumanists generally talk much about. I think that’s because it can’t be generated by taking a pill, editing genes, or melding with a computer algorithm. It isn’t transactional. The ability to love comes from being loved and practicing the virtues. No high-tech shortcuts. How boring.
This is transhumanism’s fatal flaw. To paraphrase a great saint, “If I blend with an AI computer program and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have enhanced capacities that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.”

WEF lead advisor Harari: Humans are now hackable animals; free will is over
https://transhumanism.news/2022-06-19-harari-humans-now-hackable-animals-free-will-is-over.html
Professor Yuval Noah Harari, best-selling author of “Sapiens” and “Homo Deus” and the top adviser to World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab, claimed that human beings can already be hacked and controlled.
“Humans are now hackable animals. You know the whole idea that humans have this soul or spirit and they have free will. So, whatever I choose whether in the election, or whether in the supermarket, this is my free will. That’s over – free will,” he said at a recent speaking engagement.
Harari previously said that, in a couple of decades, people will remember the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis as the moment that everything became monitored; the moment that people agreed to be surveyed all the time.
“And maybe most importantly, all this was the moment when surveillance started going under the skin. Because really, we haven’t seen anything yet. The ability to hack humans to understand deeply what’s happening within you and what makes you go. And for that, the most important data is not what you read and who you meet and what you buy. It’s what’s happening inside your body,” he said. (Related: Yuval Noah Harari: Humans are now HACKABLE ANIMALS thanks to vaccines.)
According to Harari, the infotech revolution and the revolution in the biological sciences are about to merge. There is going to be technology that converts biological data into digital data that can be analyzed by computers.
“And having the ability to really monitor people under the skin. This is the biggest game-changer of all. Because this is the key to getting to know people better than they know themselves,” Harari said.
During the June 15 episode of the “Thrivetime Show” on Brighteon.TV, Dr. Dave Martin defined transhumanism as finding something fundamentally deficient about the organic human created in the image and likeness of God.
“Transhumanism is a means by which we exterminate homo sapiens as a species, and go into a post-human experience of reality, where the only thing relevant is the computational synthetic process of a selected set of inputs controlled by a cloud computer,” he said.
“Thrivetime Show” host Clay Clark said that’s exactly what the globalists are currently doing. Clark played a video where Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology, confirmed the transhumanism efforts.
“There’s a joint report in Germany from the government of the United Kingdom about transhumanism. That’s not hidden and transhumanism is not a conspiracy. And they talk about the RNA vaccines as an entry point to kind of opening that space, ethically and otherwise. So, that’s part of the transhumanism agenda,” Malone said in the video.
Martin agreed, adding that humans have functionally become organic robots and less and less organic over a period of time.
“So ultimately, in the dreams of many of these people, we are nothing more than silicon-based life forms that actually persist in some sort of computer simulation of an infinitely hedonistic world,” Martin said.
At the WEF 2022, Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark told the audience that the smartphones of today will not be the same common interface in the near future. “Many of these things will be built directly into our bodies,” Lundmark said.
Clark then referred back to Harari’s claims that humans are now hackable animals. “They’re already saying it out loud,” Clark said.
Officials are compromising their beliefs and values to give way to the new world order
Government officials and people in law enforcement are now compromising their values and morals that used to define humanity.
“What they [officials] have is fear. But it is a fear that if they speak out their political, social and community status will be harmed. And the fact of the matter is, that is a fallacy. We have over 50 percent of the population of America that is waiting to see real leadership stand up,” Martin said.
Some of these officials also want to empower agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO).
Helen Clark, former New Zealand prime minister, spoke about the need for this move at WEF 2022.
“We have to believe that it’s possible to stop a localized outbreak [from] becoming a raging global pandemic. And that means better surveillance, more transparency, frankly, by all member states, if they think something’s happened, it’s got it’s got to be reported. And the WHO needs the power to be on-site,” she said.
Fortunately, politicians are divided on this issue.
In Austria, Parliament Member Gerald Hauser slammed Health Minister Johannes Rauch over the latter’s admission that health policy competencies are being handed over to the WHO.
“This is a clear abolition of our parliamentary democracy,” Hauser said in a recent parliament session. “In my view, the government has no mandate to negotiate this. Who gave them legitimacy to negotiate the ceding of our rights, our state, to the WHO? And, thus, to a supranational institution that was not elected by the people.”

The Dangers of Transhumanism (Prophecy Watchers)
Mondo Gonzales talks with Joe Allen at the Birthright Conference about transhumanism, artificial intelligence, Elon Musk, Neuralink, directed evolution, a cyborg theocracy, and the end of humanity. Joe Allen is not a follower of Jesus, but he is an expert on Transhumanism and his commentary about this topic provides a unique non-Christian perspective. His opinions are his own and do not necessarily reflect Prophecy Watchers. Interesting topic nonetheless.
Transhumanism and the Great Rebellion :: by Britt Gillette
https://www.raptureready.com/2012/07/08/transhumanism-and-the-great-rebellion-by-britt-gillette/
This generation is witness to the emergence of a radical new social movement known as transhumanism. Expressing an unshakable faith in the continued and rapid advancement of human technology, transhumanists look to the future with what can only be described as a religious fervor. Many of this movement’s adherents point to the singularity (an exponential increase in technological advancement so rapid the unaided human mind is unable to grasp its implications) as the climax of human civilization. Believing this event will usher in a new era for the human race in which limited mortals transcend their biological bodies and set out to conquer the universe, transhumanist anticipation of the singularity is comparable to Christian anticipation of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Ironically, the Bible points out that in the time just prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the world will be characterized by unparalleled human arrogance. Led by the Antichrist, the human race will launch not only a spiritual rebellion against God, but an actual physical confrontation between itself and the King of Kings, Jesus Christ.
The apostle Paul foresaw this conflict almost two thousand years ago:
“For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed–the one who brings destruction. He will exalt himself and defy every god there is and tear down every object of adoration and worship. He will position himself in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, NLT).
The Tower of Babel
To properly understand the origins of this rebellion, we must first examine the development of human civilization in the aftermath of the Flood. It is a time marked by another rebellion first chronicled in Genesis chapter 11, the story of the Tower of Babel:
“At one time the whole world spoke a single language and used the same words. As the people migrated eastward, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there. They began to talk about construction projects. ‘Come,’ they said, ‘let’s make great piles of burnt brick and collect natural asphalt to use as mortar. Let’s build a great city with a tower that reaches to the skies–a monument to our greatness! This will bring us together and keep us from scattering all over the world.’
“But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. ‘Look!’ he said. ‘If they can accomplish this when they have just begun to take advantage of their common language and political unity, just think of what they will do later. Nothing will be impossible for them! Come, let’s go down and give them different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.’
“In that way, the Lord scattered them all over the earth; and that ended the building of the city. That is why the city was called Babel, because it was there that the Lord confused the people by giving them many languages, thus scattering them across the earth” (Genesis 11:1-9, NLT).
In this story, God scatters the human race and confuses the people with different languages. His reason for doing so is to avoid the inevitable disaster wrought by global government and a common language. Why are these things a concern? Because if they continue unabated, in due time, “nothing will be impossible” for the human race. This is more than a flippant comment by God. It’s a prophecy of things to come.
It’s a prophecy of something so bad, God put a stop to it the moment He first saw it. God knew that, left to pursue its technological development, the human race would one day challenge Him. After all, what was the motive for building the Tower of Babel in the first place?
“Let’s build a great city with a tower that reaches to the skies—a monument to our greatness!” (Genesis 11:4, NLT).
The human race set out to build a monument to its own greatness, exalting mankind above God and extending its tower far into Heaven with the sole intent of usurping God’s glory and authority. This innate human desire did not end with the Tower of Babel. It continues to this day, and soon it will result in one final attempt to usurp the authority of God.
The Great Lie
The motive for this great rebellion will be predicated on lies. The Bible predicts that deception will be rampant in the end times. And just as God hardened the heart of Pharaoh for putting faith in his own power, He will do the same to the inhabitants of the earth who will become drunk with their own power:
“So God will send great deception upon them, and they will believe all these lies” (2 Thessalonians 2:11, NLT).
Paul makes it clear that these people will be deluded into believing “the lies.” But what exactly are the “lies” to which he refers? A cursory examination of the first book of the Bible reveals a quote from the originator of lies. In fact, it’s the very first lie referenced in the Bible:
“‘You won’t die!’ the serpent hissed. ‘God knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. You will become just like God, knowing everything, both good and evil'” (Genesis 3:4-5, NLT).
These lies from the Garden of Eden are the same lies to which Paul refers. The same lies that brought sin into the world will be the same lies that spark the ultimate rebellion against God Almighty. Humanity will come full circle. In the last days, the same construction projects envisioned by the Tower of Babel architects will result in mankind achieving a level of technological sophistication so advanced that “nothing will be impossible for them.” The human race will come to believe the great lies of the serpent.
In his arrogance, man will believe he is:
1) Immortal
2) All-knowing
3) Just like God
Mankind will mimic the earth-shattering arrogance of Lucifer by freely joining in his rebellious attempt to usurp the throne of God, because, without Jesus Christ, fallen mankind’s ambition is the same as Lucifer’s. Centuries ago, Isaiah described this fallen being and his sinister motives:
“How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. For you said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High'” (Isaiah 14:12-14, NLT).
In the last days, this passage will be an accurate depiction not only of Satan, but of all mankind.
The Transhumanist Movement
The latest incarnation of man’s rebellion against God is the transhumanist movement. Many within the movement believe the singularity will lead to the emergence of “post-biological humans” who are able to shed their biological bodies and “upgrade their hardware.” Others believe that by downloading themselves into a network, they will effectively become “immortal.” True believers have modified their diets, exercise regimens, and entire lifestyle in an effort to increase the likelihood of living to witness human reversal of the aging process and eventual human “immortality.”
Ray Kurzweil–inventor, author, and transhumanist–s considered one of the best in the world at accurately forecasting short-term and intermediate technological trends. In chapter 7 of his bestselling book,The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology, he describes his view of the ultimate outcome of our technological advance:
“The matter and energy in our vicinity will become infused with the intelligence, knowledge, creativity, beauty, and emotional intelligence (the ability to love, for example) of our human-machine civilization. Our civilization will then expand outward, turning all the dumb matter and energy we encounter into sublimely intelligent–transcendent–matter and energy. So in a sense, we can say the Singularity will ultimately infuse the universe with spirit.”
According to Kurzweil, the universe will be infused with “spirit” as a result of the natural advancement of our human-machine civilization. This suggests that the universe is not already infused with “spirit,” and that if God exists, His designs are inferior to those who will be created by the predicted human-machine civilization.
In the next paragraph, he describes the advancement of the human-machine civilization as approaching the very conception of God. Ironically, he admits that the accelerating growth of evolution can never achieve the infinite character traits exclusive to God:
“Evolution moves toward greater complexity, greater elegance, greater knowledge, greater intelligence, greater beauty, greater creativity, and greater levels of subtle attributes such as love. In every monotheistic tradition God is likewise described as all of these qualities, only without any limitation: infinite knowledge, infinite intelligence, infinite beauty, infinite creativity, infinite love, and so on. Of course, even the accelerating growth of evolution never achieves an infinite level, but as it explodes exponentially it certainly moves rapidly in that direction. So evolution moves inexorably toward this conception of God, although never quite reaching this ideal. We can regard, therefore, the freeing of our thinking from the severe limitations of its biological form to be an essentially spiritual undertaking.”
The concluding sentence of this paragraph should send up red flags for every student of Bible prophecy. According to Kurzweil, as the human race moves forward, it will seek to free its thinking “from the severe limitations of its biological form.” The Bible reveals that one day mankind will gather its armies in an attempt to “break the chains of God and set themselves free from His bondage.” Psalms 2 describes this confrontation:
“Why do the nations rage? Why do the people waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the Lord and against His Anointed One. ‘Let us break their chains,’ they cry. ‘And free ourselves from this slavery.’ But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them” (Psalms 2:1-4, NLT).
Could this passage describe an attempt by post-biological humans to overthrow the rule of God? Could the chains that hold them in bondage be the “severe limitations of their biological form”? Remember, when this event occurs, Satan and his fallen angels are also inhabitants of the earth:
“Rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea. For the Devil has come down to you in great anger, and he knows that he has little time” (Revelation 12:12, NLT).
In his arrogance and desperation, Satan will advance the dark powers of the spiritual realm, aided by a fallen mankind with powers beyond our current limitations, in a last-ditch effort to defeat God. The technological advancements of the near future will provide mankind with unprecedented power, and the ambitious goals of the transhumanist movement are already in direct conflict with God Himself.
The following verse provides additional support for believing transhumanism will play a pivotal role in this final rebellion. In the New Testament, when Jesus describes the signs of His coming to the disciples, He makes an interesting statement in light of our times:
“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:22, KJV).
Throughout the centuries, this verse has been interpreted as meaning the Second Coming of Christ will arrive just in time to save the human race from itself, meaning human wars would threaten to cause the extinction of the human race. However, it might mean that “no flesh will be saved” because a nakedly ambitious human race will transform itself into a race of “post-biological humans” intent on reshaping the universe according to an alternative agenda.
Given the history of human rebellion against God, it would be unwise to discount this possibility.
The Great Rebellion
Just as Paul prophesied, human ambition will ultimately lead to a great rebellion against God. This rebellion will reach its zenith at Armageddon, an actual geographical location in modern-day Israel. The gathering of the world’s armies at Armageddon will not be (as some believe) a war of humans versus humans, but rather a literal, physical confrontation between rebellious mankind and the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. In addition to Psalms 2, this battle is referenced multiple times in Scripture, and it’s clearly referenced twice in the book of Revelation:
“These miracle-working demons caused all the rulers of the world to gather for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God Almighty” (Revelation 16:14, NLT).
“Then I saw the beast gathering the kings of the earth and their armies in order to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army” (Revelation 19:19, NLT).
The “one sitting on the horse” is identified as Jesus Christ. Literally interpreted, both of these passages state that the world will gather for battle against Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear about this; yet for countless generations, these passages have been interpreted as indicating a mere spiritual battle and not a literal, physical conflict. It’s not difficult to imagine why. The idea of mankind physically engaging God in battle seems so preposterous that these passages have given way to numerous symbolic interpretations over the years. Yet Scripture is clear. Remember what God Himself said about the human race that will ultimately fulfill His Tower of Babel prophecy–“Nothing will be impossible for them!”
In fact, the book of Daniel reveals that the Antichrist will manage to attack “the heavenly armies, throwing some of the heavenly beings and stars to the ground and trampling them”:
“From one of the prominent horns came a small horn whose power grew very great. It extended toward the south and east and toward the glorious land of Israel. His power reached to the heavens where it attacked the heavenly armies, throwing some of the heavenly beings and stars to the ground and trampling them. He even challenged the Commander of heaven’s armies by canceling the daily sacrifices offered to him and by destroying his Temple” (Daniel 8:9-11, NLT).
The power of the Antichrist and the human beings of his era will far exceed what our generation can currently imagine. As proof, Daniel describes a time when the Antichrist will engage Jesus Christ Himself in battle:
“He will even take on the Prince of princes in battle, but he will be broken, though not by human power” (Daniel 8:25, NLT).
The human race, led by the Antichrist, will take on the Lord Himself in battle. Like the Tower of Babel generation, the arrogance of this final generation will extend all the way into the heavens, where the human race will attempt to usurp the glory and authority of God Himself. But just like the Tower of Babel generation, their efforts will end in utter failure.
Conclusion
The transhumanist agenda serves as a reminder of what the human race is without the blood of Jesus Christ–an enemy of God. A movement that views its ultimate purpose as bringing enlightenment to the universe sets itself up in direct opposition to God’s own purpose. This is the very definition of rebellion, and it’s the inevitable result of fallen mankind’s sinful nature.
Yet despite our sinful nature, God provided us with the free gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. All we have to do is accept this gift. Those who accept it will experience peace and everlasting life, but those who reject it will become slaves to sin, and their ambition–ike Satan’s–will one day lead to an outright physical confrontation with God Himself. It’s a battle that God will win.
Top Ten Things Christians Should Know About Transhumanism :: by Victoria Buck
1) It’s a science.
Maybe you were absent the day your high school science teacher addressed transhumanism. More likely, your teacher never heard of it. Where does it fit? Biology? Physics? Yes. As well as computer science—it takes a computer to make a transhuman. And social sciences—it will, if permitted, change the core of culture and society. Scientific study includes:
Cryonics: Preserving the body, or simply the brain, after death with the hope of reawakening in the future.
Gene therapy: Manipulating genetic code for the purpose of improved health and function, longevity, eliminating birth defects, and creating designer babies.
Cybernetics: Technology enhances life in positive ways. No one can deny improved function for a disabled person is a wonderful achievement of modern medicine. A deaf child hearing for the first time brings tears of gratitude to all who witness the amazement on the little one’s face. But how far will a healthy human go in obtaining super hearing, vision, strength, speed, and knowledge? The transhumanist will answer that question.
Mind uploading and AI: Non-biological intelligence may seem impossible. The computer, after all, only puts more information in one place than a person could possibly remember. A computer in a man’s brain might not make him smarter, but it would give him unparalleled recall. But consider this: if a man is enhanced to take on the characteristics of a computer, might the computer take on the characteristics of a man and begin to reason?
2) It’s a social movement.
Social science records and interprets societal movements in the past and the present. Transhumanism, or H+ (humanity plus), is a movement in society past, present, and future. It will affect the interrelational categories of social science: anthropology, economics, politics, psychology, and sociology.
Anthropology: The human being as the subject of varied studies—biology, humanities, and history—will no doubt take on new meaning with the transcendence of the human.
Economics: Cost-effective transhumanism will surely struggle to find validity. Perhaps only the super-wealthy will experience the bounty of the movement. Or maybe the government will choose those worthy, and leave the rest of the human race unenhanced. Imagine the monetary implications of transhuman corporations.
Politics: Already, bioethics is a force governing the present and preparing to govern future technological and medical advancements, and how those advancements can and cannot be used in reaching goals nonexistent twenty years ago. Government funding now pays to research a transhuman future.
The National Institutes of Health has allocated $46 million “to support the goals of the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative.” 1 Professor Thomas Sugar and Jason Kerestes, designer robotic engineers with the iProject: 4MM (4 minute mile) from Arizona State University (ASU) has been granted monies from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to create a “jetpack to increase a soldier’s speed and boost a PT record to that of a four minute a mile.” [2]
Psychology: A massive shift in the perception of humanness will come as cognitive ability increases, motivation and capability for extending life becomes reality, and relationships once required for the continuance of the race are deemed unnecessary. The resulting emotional struggle and moral reckoning will likely be met not with therapy for the mind, but with a tweak to the brain.
Sociology: Social class, law, religion, sexuality will take on new roles, or no role at all. Government and family structure will be challenged. Belief systems will adjust, or else become channels of open rebellion against the transhuman emergence.
3) Its aim is the Singularity.
If you’re unfamiliar with transhumanism, you’ve probably never heard of the singularity. This is the point in time when the human race can no longer understand or predict the outcome of its own technological advancements. As science fiction would say, the machines take over.
In the words of transhumanist frontrunner and author, Ray Kurzweil, “Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to The Singularity — technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. The implications include the merger of biological and nonbiological intelligence, immortal software-based humans, and ultra-high levels of intelligence that expand outward in the universe at the speed of light.” [3]
4) It has prophetic significance.
This is not too hard to fathom. Some interpret transhumanism will bring posthumans into a position of waging actual war against God. Not in the spiritual sense, but the physical. From end-times-bible-prophecy.com
… it seems reasonable to assume that humanity will have to undergo some sort of radical transformation in order to plot a war against God Almighty. The arrogant impulse already exists. All that remains is the need for an exponential increase in human power which deludes humanity into believing it can overcome the Lord of lords. And make no mistake about it, the Bible is clear that this is where humanity is ultimately headed— physical conflict with God:
Then I saw the beast gathering the kings of the earth and their armies in order to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army” ( Revelation 19:19, NLT).
Do not confuse the “war” with a spiritual struggle. According to Strong’s Concordance, the key word here is translated “polemos” and means: “warfare (lit. or fig.; a single encounter or a series) – battle, fight, war.” The word “polemos” appears at least 16 times in the New Testament, and in each case, it refers to physical conflict, not a spiritual one…[4]
5) It has historical significance.
Again, it’s easy to see that transhumanism is yet another attempt at building a tower to the heavens in order to become like God. As addressed by author Britt Gillette: “Let’s build a great city with a tower that reaches to the skies, a monument to our greatness!” (Genesis 11:4, NLT).
The human race set out to build a monument to its own greatness, exalting mankind above God and extending its tower far into Heaven with the sole intent of usurping God’s glory and authority. This innate human desire did not end with the Tower of Babel. It continues to this day, and soon it will result in one final attempt to usurp the authority of God. [5]
6) It assumes both creation and evolution are failures.
The argument that God’s creative power is not good enough is an obvious one. Yet, from a transhuman mindset, it doesn’t exist at all. The transhumanist will deny creation and embrace evolution, but then insist that even the natural process of improving the species isn’t good enough. For all its altering of the fabric of society, the theory of evolution is just as much a lost cause as creation. The transhumanist can do it better. Evolution needs a techno-boost. Humanity will become more than Darwin ever imagined.
7) Intermingling of faith and transhumanism is on the rise.
If considering a future of human life enhanced by technology isn’t quite relevant in your thinking, consider that a growing number of pseudo-Christian organizations believe transhumanism is the actualization of God’s plan for the salvation of mankind.
What it means to be human will change soon and you will probably experience it. So read carefully. In the coming years computer-human interfaces will become so intimate that users may be considered superhumanly intelligent transcendent humans, or “transhumans”. We will have a choice in how to use vast new power. Use it for material gain? Or, aim this power at spiritual growth. In this new era of understanding, most will see the dead end of material gain, and see a better outcome in a life dedicated to spiritual growth.
For individuals taking the spiritual path, the lower hierarchy of material needs will fall away and so naturally the transhuman will become a benevolent and self-actualized spiritual being. Ultimately, life as represented by mankind will shift from consuming material for sustenance to a flow of information. This means that we shift to a wholly spiritual life where truth is the way. As material needs diminish, transhumans will increasingly be sustained by a powerful flow of Word that can be called the Glory of God. In giving up competition and control strategies and turning to God, we grow to be all that we can be; Christ-like.
Essential to Christian Transhumanism is the notion that love is a cognitive process and God expects us to participate in our salvation by learning how to love perfectly. In this way we access the Glory of God, becoming Christ-like (Christian). [6]
Other sects and religions embrace the transhuman future as a responsible continuation of faith, and quite possibly the only way organized religion will survive. There exists a Mormon Transhumanist Association. Proponents cross religious boundaries, as might be expected in an increasingly secularized society. As with Christians, people of other faiths also oppose the movement. Atheists and agnostics support or reject. From all walks and factions, it appears there is not one group that stands united. But many in the Christian community who truly understand the ramifications of transhumanism consider it to be the great delusion spoken of in the Bible.
8) It is anti-Christian
Even so, it’s not to say Christians won’t participate, to some degree, in the rise of H+. If you can’t put down your iPhone or if you’re lost without your Bluetooth, then you know dependence on technology is an ever-increasing part of modern life. If your child is the one who can now hear you call his name, you are blessed by God. Technology is not bad. But don’t be misled by the message that our technological transcendence to being God-like is our salvation.
The transhumanist goals of ending disease and poverty, of attaining eternal life, of saving the planet from the humans won’t happen. God already set a plan in motion to take care of His creation in the way of His choosing. Any other plan devised in the mind of a created being is doomed. Consider this proclamation in an article by Zoltan Ivstan, author of best-selling novel, The Transhumanist Wager.
One thing is for sure, to the human species, the birth of an advanced artificial intelligence will become far more important than the birth of Christ. Christmas, if it survives at all, will be relegated to just another commercial and cultural holiday that superstores and big business thrive on. Meanwhile, reasonable people will celebrate AI Day, the real moment in history the savior of civilization was born. 7
In response, Gonz Shimura, in his article “The Trials of Transhumanism: An Assault on Christianity,” writes:
First off, it is clear that Mr. Istvan has a tremendous amount of “faith” in not only our own human management abilities pertaining to these developments, but also that any establishment of such a thing as AI would share in its consciousness, the same moral and ethical framework as humans. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, as most know, Antichrist doesn’t mean “against Christ”; it means, “instead of Christ.”
It is the replacement of Christ. Therefore, what Mr. Istvan is promoting here is quite literally the Antichrist. My particular views are that AI itself will not be the Antichrist figure as described in Bible Prophecy, but play a role in the establishment of the Image of the Beast. 8
9) You may be helped by it.
Again, technological advancements aren’t necessarily evil. They may be inspired and brought to fruition by the grace of God, whether or not the person who brings about the newest innovation recognizes that fact or not. Christian or otherwise, you may be the one whose paralysis is soon overcome. You may benefit from the use of techno-medical breakthroughs to end dementia.
Your grandchild may be the product of reproductive science unheard of when your children were born. Go ahead and love that child, who is no less a creation of God. A human who becomes a transhuman will need the same thing every human needs—the grace of God that leads to salvation through the death and resurrection of Christ. Whether or not your life is improved by whatever God allows, for however long He allows it, there is no other way to eternal life.
10) It is not fiction.
Transhumanism is certainly the subject of fiction. Many novels have been written in recent years from a secular worldview, both pro H+ and con. At least one transhuman work of fiction written from a Christian worldview exists. (Yes, I wrote it.) Some authors believe it will happen. Some simply use H+ to carry their stories. Movies have been bringing us cyborgs and AI stories for years, most without ever referencing transhumanism.
There is an H+ TV series (fiction) and an H+ magazine (non-fiction). Some say the thought and goal of transhumanism is ancient, but the word came from Julian Huxley in 1957. He did not intend to describe a fictitious world, but a very real one. Behind each made-up story, and hundreds of non-fiction books and articles, is an ever-progressing scientific and cultural movement intending to redefine the meaning of life. To recreate the human being. To realize God in self. Not a wilder theme exists for a novel. But in the real world, the transhumanist plans to take us far beyond imagination.

Transhumanism & Nearness of the Tribulation :: By Jonathan Brentner
I sincerely wish that I am wrong. I very much wish that I am indeed a “conspiracy theorist,” as some accuse me of being. I would so very much like to say that the COVID-19 “vaccines” are “safe and effective.”
However, I cannot unread what I have read, unhear what I have heard, nor close my eyes to the evidence that has come my way from proven and valued sources. But most importantly, I must write what the Lord lays on my heart and will continue to do so.
A few might criticize the “political” tone of many of my blog posts this past year. However, in response, I would say this: I write about transhumanism and events related to it because these things signify the nearness of the seven-year Tribulation and, as a result, impact the daily lives of many people in our world. The “vaccine” mandates tell us that the kingdom of the antichrist is forming before our eyes. And because many believers recognize this, I write to provide encouragement regarding the dangers they astutely recognize.
What I write continues to fall under the umbrella of biblical prophecy and the Lord’s calling for me to defend biblical teaching regarding the Rapture and millennium, as well as explain how current events, political or otherwise, reveal that we live in the last days of human history as we know it.
The end of what’s now happening in our world will be the Rapture of the church for all those in Christ, and the wrath of the day of the Lord for those who do not know Jesus as their Savior. Jesus is coming for us soon, perhaps today, by the end of this year, or maybe a bit later. We live in the season of the Rapture, and it’s a time to be watchful just as Jesus commanded us for such a day as this.
The world is most assuredly on a Tribulation trajectory, but the Rapture will happen first.
“Build Back Better” Is a Euphemism for Marxism
Now for the news that truly grieves my heart when I consider the tremendous suffering that so many endure as the result of the globalists who control most of our governments. The rallying cry from these elites is “build back better,” which is nothing less than a subtle way of stating their intention to enslave humanity under a communistic world order.
This phrase, which these depopulation elitists so often use, comes directly from the playbook of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Those who have spent time on the WEF website and/or listened to interviews given by Klaus Schwab, its founder and CEO, know that this organization has as its ultimate goal the setting up of a communistic world order.
Under its cherished “Great Reset” initiative, they seek to bring the world together under one central government that is decidedly Marxist.
I have repeatedly watched the WEF video that sums up their agenda for planet Earth with these words, “You will own nothing and be happy.” “What,” you might ask, “makes them believe they can accomplish this feat? How does a government steal everything that people own with the result that they are happy?”
Transhumanism is the means by which they plan to accomplish this seemingly impossible task, and at the same time, desensitize people to the death (aka depopulation) and slavery of the coming new world order. The four articles I wrote this past summer on this matter, starting with, Transhumanism: The Plot to Control Your Life, provide demonstrative evidence concerning how the COVID-19 injections and the virus itself jive with the globalists’ plans to combine humans and machines.
The WEF refers to transhumanism as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” which for them goes hand in hand with their communist agenda that they cleverly disguise as the “Great Reset’ or “build back better.” What few realize is that the latter term implies the total destruction of all existing economic structures so that their process of “building back better” can begin.
The globalists at the WEF and UN, along with many others in positions of power and influence around the world, talk clearly and openly about the need to inject something into people in order to totally monitor their behavior and later control them. Their agenda reads like an open book for those paying attention. However, so many people simply cannot believe that the intentions of these elites can be so deadly and wicked; as a result, they remain unaware of the grave threat unfolding around them due to the influence of the mainline media.
Here is how I summarize what I see today:
The urgency of many world governments for everyone to receive the COVID-19 injections comes directly from the globalists’ agenda to enslave all humanity under a Marxist totalitarian state via transhumanism. These jabs represent an essential first step in their master plan to monitor and later control the lives of everyone on the planet. Those wishing to impose this evil agenda on humanity will not long tolerate any noncompliance with their vaccine mandates.
Trust Dr. Fauci, They Tell Us
The extent of the rampant deception in America recently reached epic proportions. We learned that Anthony Fauci used taxpayer money to fund “gain of function” research at the Wuhan lab in China. In other words, he became personally involved in the weaponizing of the coronavirus so that it would be much more contagious and deadlier. Newly released reports also reveal that Fauci funded and directed inhumane experiments on dogs and monkeys that resulted in agonizingly painful deaths for all involved. Words fail to describe the extent of this man’s wickedness.
In spite of his vile track record, the U.S. media and Biden administration continue to regard him as a hero and support his insane advice that all children 5-11 receive COVID-19 jabs, even though this group has a 99.998% chance of surviving this virus if they get it. Is it not wicked beyond comprehension to force these jabs, which have a proven history of causing a high death toll and severe heart ailments, upon our children?
Leo Hohmann, in one of his recent blog posts, introduced a video from October 2019 (the Twitter post where he found the video mistakenly says 2017) in which Fauci and others at the U.S. NIH (National Institute of Health) discuss the need for a pandemic, perhaps a virus that starts in China, which will enable them to implement their new vaccine technology without a decade of testing beforehand, which is always the case for new vaccines. I had to watch it repeatedly because the first time, I could not believe what I was actually hearing. Let me repeat the emphasis of this short video:
Fauci and his cohorts at the NIH talked openly about the need for a pandemic so as to market their new vaccines technology without the requirement of extensive testing, which Fauci said could take as long as ten years.
Roman Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò recently made public a letter he wrote on October 23, which tracks remarkably close with the things that I have written about in regard to transhumanism and its link to the aspirations of the globalists.
Let’s move on to why we can have joyful hope in the midst of a world headed directly to the destruction, deception, and death of the seven-year Tribulation.
Scripture and the Rapture, Our Comfort and Joy
I recently began a blog post with these words, “I feel like I have awakened in the midst of a dystopian nightmare. The horror movies that I have avoided in the past have suddenly become reality.” I suspect that many of you feel the same way.
Those who are awake to the times know that something is terribly amiss in our world. They see the dangers of the mandates, runaway spending, and threats of war. For many, I know that I am just stating the obvious when I talk about the perils of life in 2021 and the many dangers of the day in which we live.
Scripture, particularly the Psalms and biblical prophecy, have increasingly become a refuge for me. I have read the Psalms several times in the past couple of years and cannot seem to get away from the consolation and hope I discover in its pages. There are times that I end my morning Scripture reading with my arms wrapped around my Bible because of the Gospel hope it gives to me, which includes my salvation and the hope of Jesus’ soon appearing.
Biblical prophecy tells us that the world would look the way it does now during the last days. We live in the shadow of the Tribulation period, and it looms darker by the day. For those who know Jesus, however, Scripture unveils a glorious future hope that begins with the Lord’s return for us before His judgments descend upon humanity, as described in Revelation 6-18, Isaiah 13:9-13, and in other texts.
I can also say without a moment of hesitation that we now live in biblical times.
The Lord, through the apostle Paul, promises us that we will miss the wrath of the day of the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11), which includes all of the coming Tribulation period.
If you know Jesus as your Savior, please take heart in the promises of Scripture. He is coming for us; we just need to persevere a little while longer. Read the Psalms and spend time meditating on passages that speak to our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing (Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:51-57; 1 John 3:1-3; and Revelation 3:10-11).
If, by chance, you are reading this post and have yet not taken the step of faith to receive forgiveness for your sins, please know that you must do so soon in order to avoid the terrors that are coming to our world in the near future.

The Neuralink Brain Chip | Elon Musk Neuralink (https://neuralink.com)
https://elonmuskneuralink.com/the-neuralink-brain-chip-elon-musk-neuralink/
The first Neuralink Brain Chip implanted in a human brain connects the human brain directly to the hard drive of a physical computer. Without wires, without cables. We have biology that allows us to do this already. We have what those chips are allowing us to do.
When we learn to access these mirror neurons in a very specific way, we have super-learning. I mean, we can learn very quickly. We are at this critical crossroads where we are developing and developing our technology so rapidly.
We have to make choices as a society. How much of our power will we give to the machines? How much does this sound like a science fiction movie? Where do those movies come from, it’s the consciousness in those movies that are asking us to explore.
How much do we want to give of ourselves? And here’s a perfect example, Elon Musk. Elon Musk has developed a company called NeuraLink. And he doesn’t have a philosophy and I’m not insulting him for that, because that’s what society learns from.
This is the way science learns by pushing boundaries. And Elon Musk is a brilliant man, he is pushing those boundaries. And I think he will keep pushing them until he is pushed back from society.
NeuraLink Brain Chip is the first chip to be implanted in the human brain, connecting the human brain directly to the hard drive of a physical computer without the need for cables. So it’s like Bluetooth technology. It goes beyond Bluetooth, but you can think of it that way.
So what he’s saying is that if you can’t beat the machines and connect to them, he said, let’s interface. Let’s become one with these machines. So what do you think about it?
They have chips that can be implanted in the brain. And I mean, think about what’s going on. These are silicon chips that have contact points that are interfacing with human neurons.
And I also agree that it’s an unnecessary path because we have biology that allows us to do this already, what those Neuralink brain chips are allowing us to do if we wake up to that biology. The Matrix movie is the perfect example.
People who were waking up to the new reality when they needed to learn something quickly had a port at the base of their skull and they physically plugged a cable into a computer or hard drive and they could download and learn programs.
We have the ability to do that right now through functions called mirror neurons. Interestingly, mirror neurons are a special class of neurons in the human brain, which do not know the difference between seeing and feeling and experiencing.
So when we and we already know this, eg. That’s why you can lie on your couch on a Sunday afternoon watching a soccer game or golf tournament or whatever else you have lying around. But you’re looking at us and your heart is racing, your muscles tense.
You might be sweating, maybe, you know, breathing heavily, and but you’re just lying there. I mean, if you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense. Your mirror neurons think you are on the field. Now let’s watch while playing.
It is that and these are very powerful neurons, and they are also powerful in addiction. This is why pornography, for example, is so powerful. It’s so addictive because when someone views those images with mirror neurons, it triggers the same oxytocin and the same dopamine.
Same addictive chemistry because the brain doesn’t know the difference between seeing and experiencing. So these are the bad things we hear. The cool thing we don’t often hear is that the brain knows the difference.
When we learn to access these mirror neurons in a very specific way we have super learning. I do it personally I mean we can learn very quickly. We can learn music that you can learn to perform the way another musician would.
Learn a foreign language very quickly, you can not only retain but also remember information, very super-learning super memory, super retention, super recall from mirror neurons. It is in the sixth layer of the neural cortex that is formed and here it is possible to kick those mirror neurons through a mysterious DNA fusion.
It was 200,000 years ago when we showed who or whatever is responsible for our existence, whatever the source of the information. And it appears, those neurons made that possible. And it gives us potential.
If we choose to use this ability very quickly to learn and experience, we do not need to be physically connected to a computer. But this is an instance where if we don’t know that, and we go down this road. I mean, it won’t stop there.
We finally pass our power to a tool and you’ve heard the old axiom of user confusion. And we run I think there’s a risk of becoming a species, where we start to lose this tremendously checked, beautiful potential.
And where are parts of that already getting lost, because we’re no longer learning the same way and motivating our brains to learn the language?
Today we ask youth to solve math problems without the use of phones or calculators. Yes. Now I come from a generation. And it’s all happened in a generation.
In the 1960s, Engineers were using a slide rule to land the first man on the moon. Now some of our viewers don’t even know what a slide rule is. This is a harbinger of no electricity. It’s a gadget that looks like a ruler with a slide that you can use to move and correlate certain numbers.
And that’s how engineering happened in World War II, the atomic bomb, that’s how we solved our problems.
Most people worry about the fact that they do not have a phone. They mention it all the time. It is part of their consciousness. And so, as I hear about Ilan, he said the problem is no longer the problem, maybe the good part, according to me is bandwidth.
Because We have our thumbs to get the information from our brain into this, this network, this internet platform. And so Ilan is proposing that we jack up that bandwidth, and get all of the downloaded interaction between us and this supercomputing, the super interconnected network around the world, and then take ourselves to that next level.
And so I think Ilan is a proponent or he’s just saying it’s going to happen, so let’s make it happen.

Have the Great Reset Technocrats Really Thought This Through? Evil: Between Depopulation & Neuralink
The only thing left to destroy in a world populated by elites alone, are other elites. It would seem that the desire to dominate others does not simply come to an end on its own.
With the UN World Food Program announcing that some 270 million people worldwide now face starvation, the ongoing debate about the real aims of the technocracy is profound. The question is whether their aim tends more towards major population reduction, or more towards a new type of slavery.
It appears that philosophical and long-term practical questions remain a mystery. We will argue that evil, not simply the influence of the base upon the superstructure, is at the core of this endeavor. We have defined evil as inflicting the highest degree of pain upon the greatest number of resisting subjects. In short, we have defined evil as sadism, inflicting evil because it brings satisfaction to those inflicting it.
Because evil is fundamentally a destructive force, it cannot create anything: nothing in it is truly novel nor of use to humanity. Its pleasures are short-lived and spurious. It is unsustainable, self-defeating, ultimately leading to self-destruction.
We have adequately assessed from any number of sources that nefarious interests are behind this process, who seek to make the process also about the exercise of power, in addition to several other aims (remaining in power, exercising power in ways consistent with their occult beliefs about evil, etc.). We understand that they are ‘evil’ because they involve a type of ‘power-over’ (as opposed to power-with/consent) which derives this power from fear-mongering and terrorism upon the population. Terrorism here is defined as the operationalized use of fear, pain, and other injury towards socio-political aims.
Had their plans not been rooted in evil, they would have used soft-power tactics like manufacturing consent, to arrive at their ends.
The aim of the Great Reset is to transition the ruling plutocratic oligarchy into a technocratic one. The basis of plutocracy is finance, and the introduction of AI and automation eliminates the basis for finance as the foundation of an economy of scale. This is because automation and deflation move in tandem, making new technologies net losers. Therefore a new paradigm accounting for this post-financial ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, must be introduced.
But the ideology of the Great Reset is based within the old financialist paradigm, which is one of cost externalization. When human beings are no longer involved in the valorization process in the production of goods and services, then humanity itself is the cost that requires externalization – elimination.
But how it is that sadism became the occult religion of the ruling class, presents a “chicken-or-the-egg” type of question. That is, did the corporate ideology mutate into occult sadism, or did occult sadism find its expression through the corporate ideology? This question will no doubt form the basis of later inquiry.
We often defer to nefarious motivations or processes in terms of ‘greed’, or ‘self-interest’, ‘power obsession’ or the ‘crisis of capital accumulation’, ‘speculative bubbles’.
And these do not suffice in the final analysis, though they provide explanatory power. The problem arises in predictive power, because while we face a crisis of diminishing returns due to automation (as the increasing tendency towards net loss on new large capital investments), the real psychological needs that motivate the present plutocracy as a power-group are actually undermined in significant and sudden population reduction, or new post-coercive technologies that eliminate human agency. This may seem counter-intuitive, but in light of an understanding of the self-defeating nature of evil, we will explore this question.
When we map out the probabilities of three intersecting policy vectors, we can understand this question even better. Those policy vectors are a.) neuralink/AI/Neural Implants/magneto proteins and related transhumanism, b.) depopulation as part of stated Agenda 2030 goals, c.) automation/roboticization, 4IR, and IoT.
This will follow from our last piece on the subject, The Great Reset Morality: Euthanization of the Inessentials:
Neural Implants
The development and introduction of neural implants, magneto proteins, etc., can go in any number of directions. Some types of these promise to give elites ‘super-human’ cognitive abilities. However, another very practical application is to mandate that these are used on the general populace as to handicap them or control their thoughts in some way.
In that sense, neural implants can work like pharmaceuticals are used in psychiatry. In the creation of this sort of Huxleyesque ‘Brave New World’, we can easily see the continuation of a paradigm already existing today. This is one where it is common-place to find various predictable depressions, anxieties, and neuroticisms caused by contemporary social conditions, but treated psychiatrically instead of resolved socio-economically.
Neural implants can also perform a similar function, but go even further. Beyond emotions or basic effect on the re-uptake of certain hormones like serotonin, etc.; neural implants can direct thoughts or change whole cognitive processes. Beyond feelings, drives, and impulses, neural implants promise to produce actual thoughts in the minds of the subject.
In between these two is a hybrid form – nanotech and chemogenetics working with optogenetics. Because the delivery system to the brain can be through injection, nanolipids and other compounds can come in the form of shots. These can be delivered as part of a required ‘vaccination’ regimen (insofar as that term has been redefined), as nanotech features already in the Covid-19 shot.
Therefore, such can be included – whether disclosed to the public or not – in required vaccinations.
The development of these would seem, however, to be a technology that would support slavery, but does not rule out genocide. Certainly the ability to control the thoughts of a population would greatly mitigate risk in the view of the state apparatus, especially as it moves towards genocide.
Depopulation: Myths vs. Facts
Population control and population reduction have long been policy at various institutions and think tanks committed to global governance, from the UN to the World Economic Forum. It was a part of the UN’s Millennium goals, and since the dawn of the 21st century, has been part of UN Agenda 2030.
It is important to now introduce a framework for understanding the problem of population in light of economic development. The long standing view is that economic development leads to population stagnation, even decline. The idea here is that education and urbanization are processes which lead towards better knowledge of basic family planning, in tandem with improved access to abortion and birth control.
The underlying postulate is that people naturally do not want to be burdened with children, that children are an affront to freedom in the abstract. The formula is that as people are better educated and have more meaningful work and interesting lives, they know both how to prevent pregnancy and also no longer have ‘primitive’ inclinations towards large family building.
This mythology was built up around a notion that people are fundamentally self-interested in the narrowest sense, to the exclusion of other desires, needs, and impulses. They are presented as the norm such to furthermore create a broader culture which opposes procreation.
Instead, the real mechanism pushing population stagnation in the 1st world are increased pressures of work, and increased costs of living. Rather than ascribing population stagnation to improved conditions of life, these are more related to austere conditions imposed by late modernity. The costs of property, of rents, of food, and also because of the decline in quality of goods through increased planned obsolescence, has placed more economic pressure on individuals and couples. It has led to the requirement that both members of a household are working full-time. And even with this, home ownership in cosmopolitan centers is practically impossible for most. Austerity has also led to stagnation in life expectancy.
This truth is exposed in actual policy papers like “New strategies for slowing population growth” (1995). Here, the doublespeak is evident, with easily decipherable phrases within it; “…reduce unwanted pregnancies by expanding services that promote reproductive choice and better health, to reduce the demand for large families by creating favorable conditions for small families…”. What could possibly be meant by ‘create favorable conditions for small families’?
Economic development does not reduce population, but if we add austerity and demanding and inflexible work obligations, then we land on an answer. Economic prosperity, as it has for time immemorial, promises to greatly increase the population in the absence of a program of population reduction. Because an organic 4IR not brought in by the technocracy would decrease work obligations and increase quality of life markers, we would expect a population boom.
Consequently, projections that that population will top off at just under 10 billion by the 2060’s are as erroneous as they are linear. Without a technocracy working to actively reduce population, as they believe, an economy based on automation and AI would see a population explosion.
Conclusion
It is still likely that the would-be technocrats have indeed thought out the end-game, and that there are any number of possibilities that will allow them to harvest sadistic pleasure as an exercise of absolute power, in perpetuity. This might mean increasing fear of extermination far beyond actual population reduction. It could mean maintaining many aspects of agency for the controlled population, so that their pains are internalized in multivariate and complex fashions, that include confused feelings of self-blame, identifying with the abuser, resentment, regret, and also violations of will and dignity. Again, if will is not a factor, then all of these potential arenas of psychological pain are not present.
To frame the following, it is fundamental to understand that in a post-labor civilization, the status of humanity no longer exists upon a metric of utility. Either civilization exists to improve the human condition, or to increase human suffering. There are no trade-offs or costs. Society is either good or evil.
But evil is short lived and short-sighted, and this is why: Sudden population reduction is a fire-cracker, it explodes just once. The pleasure in the process of eradicating billions of people, and the fear, pain, and suffering this would cause, within the span of a few short years, only gets to be enjoyed once. It’s a sacrificial ritual upon the altar of Moloch that can only be performed one time.
Likewise with post-coercive technologies: Without agency, controlling people serves no purpose in terms of violating their own will or desire. Causing pain on a subject that does not resist because he has no will, gives the sadist much less pleasure than would pain on a subject against their will.
Moreover, the position of being elite is relative to a number of factors such as distribution of wealth, power, and/or privilege, and the sheer numbers in terms of population, that one possesses these advantages over.
If there are only elites remaining, then they would have merely introduced a new kind of egalitarian society on the foundation of superabundance and a miniscule human population. If living conditions of an existing humanity can be greatly reduced, then the relative privilege and luxury enjoyed by the elites grows in that proportion.
Absent some radical life-extending technology, it is conceivable that science and technology have already reached the zenith point at which privilege and luxury cannot be furthered. A reasonable solution would be to reduce living conditions for others so as to enhance their own relative privilege. The greater number of people who live in reduced conditions, the more privileged one’s position of privilege actually is.
Likewise, it would seem that maintaining some human population as ‘possessions’ would serve to augment ownership over human beings, perhaps the most valuable type of possession because they are aware that they are owned – but only if that humiliates them. For what other purpose is there for slavery, in a world without human labor?
Does it have any meaning, or is any satisfaction achieved, by governing over people without the possibility to have the will to either consent, or conversely, resent the ruler? Here we can understand it along these lines: the possibility for agency means that governing can happen with their support, or against their will.
But neural implant control over cognitive processes, eliminates the possibility for will, which would deprive technocrats of the pleasure of ruling with or against the will of the ruled.
Therefore, the destructive evil framework of those behind the Great Reset is revealed. The use of strategy, planning, and cunning to achieve their desired result is prevalent. But have they examined the foundation of their desires? Do they understand what their victory would deliver to them?
The only thing left to destroy in a world populated by elites alone, are other elites. It would seem that the desire to dominate others does not simply come to an end on its own.
For these reasons, it is likely that some elites have seen the problem in this end game. This would explain the inter-elite conflict which we have explored previously, and will return to in the near future.
Hardwired for Control – The Brain-Computer Interface Is Already Here
https://joebot.substack.com/p/hardwired-for-control-the-brain-computer?publication_id=235812&isFreemail=true
Neuralink is ready to stick chips in humans. Synchron and Blackrock Neurotech have already done it—as have many others
People talk about brain implants as if they’re an imagined biohorror in the distant future. This is a misconception. Hardwired trodes already exist, they’re more widespread than you think, and they’ll only be more prevalent as time goes on.
Today, it’s an iPhone 14 under the Xmas tree. Come the Singularity, transhumanists hope and pray, it’ll be an iTrode 666 in your cerebral cortex.
Synchron and Blackrock Neurotech, alongside numerous labs funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), are at the forefront of this human experimentation.
Neuralink is racing to catch up—burning through lab animals like so much kindling—and will likely take the lead once they’re approved for human trials.
Currently, a brain-computer interface (BCI) can provide quadriplegics and locked-in stroke victims a superior hands-free experience. Patients can move cursors onscreen. They can type text with only their thoughts. They can operate robotic arms to move beer bottles to their lips. The late Matthew Nagle, who received the first proper BCI in 2006, was able to play Pong “telepathically.”
Enjoying a decent head start, Blackrock Neurotech is the most prolific brain-jack racket. “36 people around the world have an implanted brain-computer interface,” their website states. “32 of them use Blackrock technology.” (If I had to wager, the former number is likely greater.)
These silicon seeds have been planted in a bed of gray matter, and after recent rounds of generous financing, they’re growing fast.
It’s important to note, though, that current BCIs are used to read the neurons, not write onto them. At least for now. Yes, there are deep brain stimulation implants—wired electrodes that sit under the skull, typically used to control tremors, and more recently, to alter mood. These simple systems, embedded in over 160,000 heads around the world, do provide input signals. But that’s a long way from hearing articulate voices in your head.
However, should the most aggressive developers realize their dreams, readily available BCI systems will read and rewrite our minds like RAM drives. In the near future, we’re told, commercial implants will allow regular humans to commune with artificial intelligence as if we were spirit mediums drawing ghosts out of the aether.
Manufacturers shield themselves from public outcry by promising the lame will walk and the blind will see. That’s already happening, but the openly declared goal is to move from healing to enhancement.
Last week, Synchron had their BCI bankrolled by the palm-scanning home-invader Jeff Bezos and the island-hopping “Vaxx King” Bill Gates, with $75 million in total investment. Currently, the Brooklyn-based company has jammed chips into multiple human brains. Last summer, they received FDA approval to start trials in the US. Like most BCIs, the device functions like a telepathic touchpad in your skull.
Synchron’s main product, the Stentrode, is much less invasive than its competitors. For instance, Blackrock Neurotech uses a micro-electrode array that sits on top of the brain, requiring doctors to cut through bone for installation. Neuralink’s processor is basically a quarter-sized skull plug, with 1,024 hair-thin wires fanning out like jellyfish tentacles into the gray matter below.
The Stentrode is just a wire-mesh stint, like a tiny pair of Chinese finger cuffs. Surgeons insert this stint in the jugular vein and maneuver it up through the brain’s blood vessels to the desired location. Once installed, the Stentrode monitors brain activity for intention. This information is sent down a cable to an antenna device sitting on the chest under the skin. That data is then transmitted to external devices.
Like its competitors, Synchron’s current projects are focused on the motor cortex. In a series of exercises, the user concentrates on a specific intention. The device then reads the corresponding brain activity, and external artificial intelligence systems create a digital mirror, correlating the brain pattern to the intention. All of this happens in microseconds, allowing for real-time monitoring.
After the brain’s partial mirror image is fleshed out, the paralyzed user can do things like move a cursor onscreen to type text. Synchron’s most famous patient, a locked-in ALS victim, made headlines in December of 2021 for sending the first telepathic tweet. Using the Twitter account of CEO Tom Oxley, he typed out:
hello world! Short tweet. Monumental progress.
And in a follow-up tweet:
my hope is that I’m paving the way for people to tweet through thoughts
Only a monster would deny the obvious benefit of inserting a BCI into a fully conscious but uncommunicative vegetable, allowing him to speak to his loved ones once again. The snag is that brain-computer interfaces won’t stop here. The ultimate goal is cyborg supremacy.
“Synchron’s north star is to achieve whole-brain data transfer,” Oxley said last year, evoking a kinder, gentler version of the Moravec Transfer. “The blood vessels provide surgery-free access to all regions of the brain, and at scale.” This means doctors will eventually snake Stentrodes into every lobe and cortex—sort of like having an Alexa in every room of your house—and subsequently create a digital twin of the organ in silico.
It’s the ultimate fusion of mind with machine, allowing the user to control digital activity with his thoughts alone. In turn, this gives scientists and artificial intelligence total access to the user’s mental gears. Because most primary functions are nearly identical from person to person, once you’ve mapped one brain, you’ve basically mapped them all.
For many working on BCIs, the prospect of a man-machine merger is intoxicating. Possessed by the same spirit as Neuralink’s owner Elon Musk—who openly states his desire to merge brains with AI for intellectual enhancement—Synchron’s Tom Oxley has a more heart-warming vision of our cyborg destiny:
In the future, I’m really excited about the breakthroughs BCI could deliver to other conditions like epilepsy, depression, and dementia. But beyond that, what is this going to mean for humanity?
What’s really got me thinking is the future of communication.
Take emotion. Have you ever considered how hard it is to express how you feel? You have to self-reflect, package the emotion into words, and then use the muscles of your mouth to speak those words. But you really just want someone to know how you feel. …
So what if rather than using your words, you could throw your emotions? ... At that moment, we would have realized that the necessary use of words to express our current state of being was always going to fall short. The full potential of the brain would then be unlocked.
Far beyond healing, Oxley wants to transcend the human condition entirely, or at least transform it. In this sense, he’s an obvious transhumanist, even if he avoids the term.
This transhuman orientation is shared across the BCI field. As I’ve covered extensively, various brain researchers affiliated with DARPA, the RAND Corporation, the Royal Society of London, the National Institutes of Health, Silicon Valley, the World Economic Forum, and countless university labs are aiming for an upgraded Humanity 2.0.
I’m not spinning some “conspiracy theory” here. It’s simply a thing.
Before Charles Lieber was convicted for taking Chinese money under the table, the Harvard chemist was developing a nanoscale brain-computer interface that could be injected via syringe. This microscopic neural lace merges with the neurons, creating “cyborg tissue” that can communicate with a computer.
“We’re trying to blur the distinction between electronic circuits and neural circuits,” he told Smithsonian Magazine. And if you browse the names of former Lieber Group members on Harvard’s website, it’s obvious that Chinese researchers, along with the Chinese Communist Party, share his passion for biodigital convergence.
“This could make some inroads to a brain interface for consumers,” a Rice University tech developer commented. “Plugging your computer into your brain becomes a lot more palatable if all you need to do is inject something.”
These guys take “the jab” to a whole new level.
Another gross misconception is that transhumanism is a purely leftist or globalist agenda. This may be a politically convenient position to take, but it’s indefensible.
Amongst others, the scrappy Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel is, in effect, a Western nationalist. On the Republican side, he recently funded the senatorial campaigns of J.D. Vance and Blake Masters. On the transhuman side, the multi-billionaire was an initial investor in Neuralink, and is now financing their rivals at Blackrock Neurotech.
Philosophically speaking, Thiel is far more articulate than other tech titans like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, or the new Conservative, Inc “superhero,” Elon Musk. While they share the same interests in life extension, brain interfacing, and artificial intelligence, Thiel explicitly steers his projects toward advancing and defending Western civilization.
For right-wingers opposed to the hubris of transhumanism—an unfashionable term that Thiel wisely distances himself from—his strange blend of traditional mythos and techno-futurism complicates the standard narrative. In a provocative essay at First Things, entitled “Against Edenism,” Thiel urges Christians to accept the inevitability, or at least the necessity, of progress. As civilization hurtles toward apocalypse, there can be no return to Eden.
“The future will look very different from the past,” he writes, citing Genesis and Revelation. “The Garden of Paradise will culminate in the City of Heaven.” In Thiel's view, the mission to develop technology runs parallel to God’s act of creation, which brought order to the face of the deep:
Judeo-Western optimism differs from the atheist optimism of the Enlightenment in the extreme degree to which it believes that the forces of chaos and nature can and will be mastered. The tyranny of Chance will give way to the providence of God.
Exercising our natural human capacities, we are co-creators in this process—aka, Homo Deus:
Science and technology are natural allies to this Judeo-Western optimism, especially if we remain open to an eschatological frame in which God works through us in building the kingdom of heaven today, here on Earth—in which the kingdom of heaven is both a future reality and something partially achievable in the present.
Looking through Thiel’s business portfolio—especially Palantir—this “partially achievable” divine kingdom includes wall-to-wall surveillance grids, mass data-mining, military-grade artificial intelligence, BCI control devices, genetic engineering, vampiric blood transfusions from young donors to aging billionaires, and of course, Bitcoin. Lots and lots of Bitcoin.
Call me cynical, but I see little difference between Thiel’s technocratic “City of God” and the Beast System of the Antichrist. Even so, there’s a quandary that can’t be avoided.
No matter how blasphemous his cosmic vision may be, Thiel’s argument for the necessity of science and technology is essentially correct. If Western nation-states are to compete, or even survive, in the global Fourth Industrial Revolution—“the fusion of the physical, digital, and biological worlds”—we won’t do it with typewriters and sling shots.
We need a plan. And as much as you may despise Thiel’s quest for cybernetic Mammon, at least he has one.
We are in the throes of a civilizational transformation. The idea of “progress” may seem absurd when the potholes multiply and basic commodities grow scarce, but technology is progressing nonetheless.
Each of us is being hardwired for control. On the one hand, we’re granted control over various devices and vast stretches of virtual space. On the other, elites who deploy those devices and police our virtual spaces are taking control over us.
As the brain-computer interface creeps into public consciousness via news stories and propaganda—as the idea is implanted in our minds—it becomes a profound symbol for total control. With each technical advance, that symbol edges closer to realization.
I’m not saying this to freak you out. Alarmist thinking is weak. But don’t tell me “It’ll never happen.”
The intermediate steps toward this man-machine merger have already been taken. Over the past century and a half, humans have acclimated to the telegraph, the telephone, the radio, the television, and the desktop computer. Now, across the planet, we’re fusing with our devices through smartphone-symbiosis.
Holding these screens in our hands, with digital content filling our heads, we already bear a mark that allows us to buy or sell—hovering somewhere between UberEats and the Antichrist. The next phase is a non-invasive BCI skull cap, or brainwave headband, looming just over the horizon. From there, it’s a small step to getting an iTrode jammed in your dome.
All of us fall somewhere on the caveman-to-cyborg spectrum, with most sliding rightward on the scale. The question isn’t whether society is going there—it’s how far each of us will go.
Is Neuralink the Future of Smartphones?

Is Neuralink the Future of Smartphones?
Why Neuralink is an option to replace smartphones? As for the future, I have no idea. Nobody knows what is going to happen. However, I think there are some things we can predict without being too wrong as the technology will keep evolving and new technologies will emerge.
Looking at the past, we wonder if there were any major changes. And one thing that comes to mind: the smartphones. These devices have changed a lot of things in people’s lives and it has become an essential part of their daily life. Smartphones have changed the way people communicate and socialize. People can stay in touch with each other wherever they go.
They have also changed the way people get information. Since they are mobile, you can carry them everywhere and access all kinds of information. To fully understand how they can evolve, you have to look at the past.
A Brief History of Smartphones
The ancestor of all phones a smartphone is probably the Bell phone. It was in June 1876 that Graham Bell launched his invention, the telephone. The first one. Or maybe the first inventor of the telephone is Antonio Meucci. Anyway…
The “mobile phone” appeared in the general public in the 1990s, but its origin dates back to the 1940s, with the discovery of radio technology. However, it was not until 1973 that the inventor of the cell phone, Dr. Martin Cooper, made his first call through this channel.
And only 10 years later, that same doctor presented a marketable version of the first mobile phone. Commercial use began in Japan in 1979 with the first generation of telephones (1G). And in 1983, the first network was launched in Chicago in the United States.
The evolution of battery technology has made it possible to increase the autonomy of this type of device and thus reduce their size. Miniaturization which, as we will see later, will come to an abrupt end. The devices are miniaturized, they gain in autonomy.
Smartphones, and especially the famous iPhone 1 (2007) from the Apple company, are the quintessential example of disruptive technologies that have disrupted the miniaturization of mobile phones and reversed the trend in the entire mobile market.
The iPhone with its 3.5-inch screen (offering a resolution of 480 by 320 pixels) is the pioneer of the multipoint touch interface which heralded the generalization of this type of device on the market. These products have therefore shifted established patterns in the markets and, in many cases, forcing existing products and competitors to readjust.
So, the smartphone of 2030 will be thinner, have a larger surface right? Will it be possible to fold it like a sheet of paper, unbreakable and ultra-light?
The new paradigm
Extrapolating past trends into the future, it is thinking about the evolution in very linear ways. We should expect cycles and disruptions in technologies. These cycles are called technological revolutions.
Carlota Perez, author of Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital: The Dynamics of Bubbles and Golden Ages, gives a perspective of these cycles originally.
“A technological revolution can be defined as a powerful and highly visible cluster of new and dynamic technologies, products and industries, capable of bringing about an upheaval in the whole fabric of the economy and of propel- ling a long-term upsurge of development. It is a strongly interrelated constellation of technical innovations, generally including an important all-pervasive low-cost input, often a source of energy, sometimes a crucial material, plus significant new products and processes and a new infrastructure.” — Carlota Perez
Like Schumpeter, Carlota Perez believes that the early upsurge of new technology is a period of explosive growth, leading to great turbulence and uncertainty in the economy.
We have been involved in these deep processes of technological revolutions. These transformations are turbulent and have historically lasted between 20 and 30 years.
All fields face technology disruptions, and often the leaders of one technology can disappear altogether when the next technology appears. Take video storage, the leader of VHS tapes and their players were JVC, which disappeared when CD was born, replaced by DVD, then replaced by blu-ray… and so on.
For mobile technologies, we have had the analog telephone, replaced by the digital mobile telephone of which Nokia was the leader, replaced after 15 years by the smartphone whose technological breakthrough was the ‘touch screen’ screen, social network applications, and internet connection.
The changes we have had since, in the screen, thickness, camera, and other 4G or 5G are developments and not a technological breakthrough. Nokia is gone and Apple and Samsung dominate this market. The next technological breakthrough for mobile phones should arrive very quickly.
Today we use smartphones, smartwatches, tablets to fetch information and try to sort out what is relevant to us and what is not. Perhaps the next smartphone will take advantage of 5G, AI to bring us less and more relevant data, with strong development of voice assistants. Consume less information, but better, a godsend for new technology, and our brains too often saturated with raw data.
A Brain Chip As Revolution
In my opinion, the future will probably be to no longer have a smartphone. In this case, a direct connection with our “neural network” is a realistic option.
On 28 August, Elon Musk unveiled his new futuristic project. As usual, he surprised everyone. The successful entrepreneur, boss of Tesla and Space X, began his presentation with an “It’s gonna blow your mind”.
His startup Neuralink does not sell a commercial product. You can’t buy it at the moment. It just an experiment. This brain implant is envisioned to cure anything (paraplegia, quadriplegia, insomnia, hearing loss, memory loss, addiction, depression, blindness, etc).
Poor Gertrude, a sow who had asked nothing of anyone, found herself in the role of the guinea pig on duty. A chip implanted in the skull, Elon Musk sends it in prime time in front of millions of spectators. She walks around and waves the sensors, obviously without the poor beast realizing what is going on. Without knowing it, she may be participating in planning for the end of the human species as we have always known it. Even though she has a chip in her brain, Gertrude remains a sow, one of the most intelligent animals, but which has its limits. The spectacle is sad, depending on the sensitivity one has for the animal cause.
Is Neuralink a technological revolution? Musk has talked talking about what other neuroscientists have already designed, along with the pros and cons of their systems. A way to democratize the subject a little in the eyes of the general public, in an area that has remained mysterious for too long. So, in terms of breakthroughs, Neuralink is nothing new. There are already existing brain implants that connect to the brain through electrodes, like BrainGate. Many years ago, the researchers of the University of Pittsburgh reported that a monkey can control a robotic arm directly by its own brain signals. And humans can control cyborg turtles with their minds.
Arnav Kapur, a scientist at MIT Media Lab, invented the machine called Alter Ego which allows communication between the brain and a computer. It translates brain speech impulse into words without vocalization.
So, the goal of Neuralink is trying to build a system with at least two orders of magnitude more communication channels than current clinically-approved solutions. A solution to aggregate all these innovations and scientific studies into one single chip through cutting edge engineering. One more step towards the brain-machine interface.
After the small chip is placed behind the ear, the new brain-machine interface will take place in a 23 mm by 8 mm circular device inserted directly under the skull. And the charging method is strangely similar to a new generation smartphone. Energy recovery will actually be done by induction.
The brain chip can’t write or store the neural impulses. The memory can’t be downloaded and restored through Neuralink. Neurons are microscopic and the electrodes are not. Electrodes are implanted only on a shallow layer of the skull. The Neuralink system just tries to transmit and translate information using electric impulses from our brain. Neuralink can’t do much right now, and can’t treat a lot of the diseases that Musk promises.
A Futuristic Vision
In the demo, Elon Musk said: “I think long-term you can restore someone full-body motion.” This implanted chip can transmit information on the muscle activity of the person wearing it. The chip knows how to spot the location of muscles as soon as they move. Musk, therefore, sees it as useful for paralyzed people, who might find the use of walking again.
Who to go against such hope? Nobody of course, especially if it is Gertrude who demonstrates. In contrast, when Elon Musk grins his chip as the future of the human brain with never-before-seen intelligence and power, “an extraordinary breakthrough for the human species”.
A brain implant that can connect any person’s mind to a cloud to facilitate super-intelligence in human beings? Treating paralysis with electrodes and pulses from a chip in the brain is one thing, implanting a virtual brain capable of making decisions and thinking for a human is another. Elon Musk’s idea is to deny the very essence of the human. For someone who calls himself a humanist, it is difficult to understand. The utopia of a superhuman, infallible, robotic, and controllable. But it seems longer so distant.
In fact, I think that the Japanese cyberpunk culture took a step ahead by staging from the 90s characters who were on the edge of the human and the robotics and who were confronted with metaphysical questions on their identity.
In 1995, Ghost in the Shell, an anime cyberpunk film directed by Mamoru Oshii and based on the manga of the same name by the great master mangaka Masamune Shirow, in which Puppet Master, a cybercriminal, takes control of a human’s mind (“ghost”) through the Digital Network (the evolution of the Internet in the fiction).
So, with Neuralink, will it be possible to hack our brain like in the Ghost in the Shell? No, “cyberbrain hijacking” is not feasible and it won’t be possible for a long time.
The images of Gertrude with her chip implanted in her brain may be the beginnings of a new dehumanized and controlled human. I feel like the Internet revolution has shown humanity that it can be fully contained on networks, which implies that there is a limit to human nature, and in a way, we are looking for that limit, as described in the anime film.
But Ghost in the Shell depicted another interesting parallel topic, characters with cyberbrains could communicate with each other without actually speaking or typing. Instead, they had some sort of machine-aided “telepathy” where one person could hear the other’s voice and vice-versa without needing any kind of microphone. What if is a combination of implants or electronics we can use to reproduce this effect?
Direct Neural Interfaces (DNI) are exactly that. The communication through the chips of two brains is conceivable with Neuralink. Communication without saying a word is not any more science fiction.
On 28 September, in a Sway podcast, production of New York Times Opinion, wide-ranging interview with Elon Musk on Neuralink and the future of brain chip implants, “It’s like a Fitbit in your skull”, Musk said. “We are already cyborgs”.
So, we are already a cyborg. In the sense that you have your computers and your phones, and your apps on your phone, and stuff like that, and your social media or whatever. It’s like you’re already part electronic if you think about it. — Elon Musk
In a sense, that’s not totally false. Smartphones and mobile technologies are a new paradigm inseparable from a very large majority of individuals, even to the point of modifying our social relations and our organization of time. Our world is connected to mobile devices which are so many extensions of our human bodies, a smartphone as externalized memory, our GPS watch which acts as a sense of direction…
“We’re a 300 baud modem. Very slowly outputting information into our phone or maybe a little bit faster into a computer if you’re using 10 fingers,” he said. If you do not have the necessary tools to navigate the information area, it will be difficult to consult, such as data flow on the history of mankind.
The priority of the Neuralink team is improving the “bandwidth of our communication”. It is being a connection between the brain and the machines can allow human to integrate and control AI like the impressive GPT-3 through pure mental commands and increase our human capacity much more than smartphones. Team members communicating remotely, in real-time, would be a godsend for business communication. In remote working, we could write down important things during a meeting and send an email with our meeting report right away, or use GPT-3 to help us generate when brainstorming. Neuralink team has developed a custom chip that is better able to read, clean up, and amplify signals from the brain. But the project is still at an early stage.
Elon Musk is likely one of the most controversial entrepreneurs. Because when Musk has an idea, he goes to the end. Who hasn’t laughed at him when he said ten years ago that he would take tourists into space, that we would drive an electric car, and that the man on Mars was not a utopia? Nobody dares to laugh anymore.
But one thing is certain, he has demonstrated with Tesla and SpaceX that he wants to build an impactful vision of the future. Obviously, there are a large number of questions including ethics, security, privacy, legal issues, ads spamming…
At the moment, Neuralink is not a commercial product. At least, not yet. It is a scientific and medical experiment. Neuralink’s initial goal is to focus on medical applications to help those afflicted by neurological disorders and degenerative brain conditions. Science takes time and requires efforts and collaboration. It must overcome a lot of challenges. Neuralink is a promise. It is a great bet on the future.

Quest for immortality
Revelation 9:5-6 - Fifth Trumpet: The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit
Rev 9:5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
Isaiah 28:15-18 - Woe to Ephraim and Jerusalem
Is 28:15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves. 16 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ... 18 Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it.
Living Forever Through AI: Digital Immortality and the Future of Death (ENDEVR)
Robotics & AI - The Future of Humanity: If you were able to create an immortal version of yourself, would you? Until this decade, that question was the stuff of science fiction, but now experts in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics suggest it will indeed be possible.
This cinematic documentary explores the latest technological advancements in AI, robotics, and biotech, and poses the question: what is the essence of the human mind, and can this be replicated? Or even more unsettling, could we one day meet cloned versions of ourselves – clones that are better, smarter, and immortal?
This film explores these questions with visionaries including Nick Bostrom, author of Superintelligence, Hiroshi Ishiguro, developer of his own uncannily realistic clone Geminoid; Douglas Rushkoff, author of Team Human; Ben Goertzel, founder of Singularity.net who coined the term Artificial General Intelligence; and Deepak Chopra, who is creating his own A.I. mind twin. These visionaries see humanity advancing toward a new age of post-biological life, a world of intelligence without bodies, immortal identity without the limitations of disease, death, and unfulfilled desire. As scientists at the forefront of technology show that a world where humans and machines merge isn’t so far away, we have to ask ourselves will AI be the best or the last thing we ever do?
Silicon Valley’s quest for immortality – and its worrying sacrifices
https://theconversation.com/silicon-valleys-quest-for-immortality-and-its-worrying-sacrifices-101405
Immortality or humanity?
There will always be a myriad of ways our mortal forms can go wrong. And we’ve seen that physiological constraints seem set to always hold us back from drastically extending our lifespans and remedying the root cause of ageing – if there even is one.
But on the border between science fiction and pioneering science rest exciting technological ideas that could perhaps unlock a different kind of immortality. Technology can already help us catch age-related defects early, but it holds the potential to become even better: what if we were able to circumvent biological trade offs entirely?
Billionaire Elon Musk’s company Neuralink is already on the march to set us down this transhumanist path. It envisages a future where humans are far more intimately connected with their electronic devices than we are today. It invites us to work towards a brain-machine interface that would fundamentally integrate us with our technology, achieving a truly symbiotic relationship.
Daniel 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
The research is still in its early stages, but brain-machine interfaces are already in use in the form of ear and eye implants that can restore our senses, and brain implants that allow disabled people to remotely control computers and robots. Neuralink aims to take this a step further by seamlessly connecting us to electronic devices, the internet and even other humans. Essentially, we’d all have encyclopaedic information on hand and be able to communicate with one another telepathically.
To make this remarkable enhancement possible, a brain-machine interface would be injected into our bloodstream and travel to the brain. There it would self-assemble into a mesh-like structure on the outside of the cerebral cortex, entwining technology to the core of our intelligence and sentience.
Neuralink and the technology it inspires could become a gateway to a post-human future. Through research in this area, we may decipher the means to accurately translate our organic, chemical neuronal pathways into electronic data that could encapsulate them. And so we may, eventually, be able to capture our beings within a computer, living forever as digital memory accessed by a piece of software.
https://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/self-replicating-xenobots/
Placing “self-replicating” and any kind of “bots” in the same sentence immediately raises red flags, conjuring the image of reducing the surface of the world to gray goo. But that is not a concern here, for reasons that will become clear. There is a lot to unpack here, so let’s start with what xenobots are. They are biological machines, little “robots” assembled from living cells. In this case the source cells are embryonic pluripotent stem cells taken from the frog species Xenopus laevis. Researchers at the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University have been experimenting with assembling these cells into functional biological machines, and have now added self-replication to their list of abilities.
Further, these xenobots replicate in a unique way, by what is known as kinematic self-replication. This is the first instance of this type of replication at the cell or organism level. The researchers point out that life has many ways of replicating itself: “fission, budding, fragmentation, spore formation, vegetative propagation, parthenogenesis, sexual reproduction, hermaphroditism, and viral propagation.” However, all these forms of self-replication have one thing in common – they happen through growth within or on the organism itself. By contrast, kinematic self-replication occurs entirely outside the organism itself, through the assemblage of external source material.
This process has been known at the molecular level, where molecules (like proteins) can guide the assemblage of identical molecules using external resources. However, this process is entirely unknown at the cellular level or above.
In the case of xenobots, the researchers placed them in an environment with lots of individual stem cells. The xenobots spontaneously gathered these stem cells into copies of themselves. However, these copies were not able to replicate themselves, so the process ended after one or a very limited number of generations. In a new study, the researchers set out to design an optimal xenobot that could sustain many generations of self-replication. They did not do this the old-fashioned way, through extensive trial and error. Rather, they used an AI simulation, which calculated for literally months, testing billions of possible configurations. It came up with a simple shape – a sphere with a mouth, looking incredibly like a Pac-Man. These xenobots are comprised of about 3,000 cells. The researchers assembled their xenobot Pac-Men and when placed in an environment with available stem cells they spontaneously herded them into spheres and then into copies of themselves. These copies were also able to make more copies of themselves, and so-on for many generations.
There are no concerns that these living Pac-Men will go out of control and wreak havoc. They are fragile and would not survive outside the lab. They also need a supply of specific stem cells in order to assemble further copies of themselves. They would be useless and die in “the wild”.
There are some interesting features of these xenobots worth pointing out, in addition to their ability to replicate through kinematic self-replication. First, the xenobots did not have to be genetically engineered or programed in any way to be able to self-replicate. This was a spontaneous ability once they were assembled into the right shape. Also, these stem cells were destined (if left within their embryos) to become skin cells. This highlights the fact that genes are not the only things that determine how cells develop. The local environment is also critical. Taken from the environment of the embryo, with the presence of other cells and chemical gradients, the xenobot cells do not develop into skin cells but rather behave very differently.
This research also highlights the incredible power of AI and computer simulations. Obviously it would have been practically impossible to design and test billions of configurations of cells with actual cells. However, a computer simulation was able to hit upon a working design in several months. It’s hard to estimate how long the research would have taken using actual cells, but I think it’s safe to say that the AI was able to perform decades even centuries of research in a few months. This is fulfilling one of the core promises of AI-aided research that has been touted for years. Sometimes incredible-sounding claims for future technology are not hype.
What are these xenobots useful for? While an interesting question, I would point out that answering that question is not essential to concluding that the research is useful. Basic science research is about increasing our knowledge of how the world works. Historically such increased knowledge tends to have incredible downstream benefits, often times not anticipated by the original research.
That being said, the researchers did explore this question, simulating further if xenobots could be made to do useful work while they are replicating. They looked at the task of microcircuit assembly, and showed that the random motions of the xenobots could do useful work, such as moving wires and closing circuits. Further they showed that a self-replicating system could have “exponential utility”. In other words, a small initial investment in creating just a few xenobots could have exponential effect due to self-replication, as long as sufficient feedstock was available. They further point out that feedstock can be made exponentially available also, as each Xenopus laevis produces thousands of eggs per day, some of which can be used for feedstock and some to produce further egg-laying frogs.
Also, the xenobots represent a unique biological system, which may have many applications in research itself. They are an ideal tool for studying self-replicating systems themselves. Such a system may also be made easy to customize quickly to produce specific effects. Time will tell, but again if history is any guide, new biological laboratory systems tend to be extremely useful for future research and technology. But as I said, there is a lot to learn from the tiny xenobots, even if they do not prove directly useful themselves.
Self-Replicating Xenobots and the Days of Noah
(Rock Harbor Church)
Will Xenobots Fulfill the Daniel 2:43 Prophecy? (The Watchman)
Will self-replicating ‘xenobots’ cure diseases, yield new bioweapons, or simply turn the whole world into grey goo?
In 2020, scientists made global headlines by creating “xenobots”—tiny “programmable” living things made of several thousand frog stem cells.
These pioneer xenobots could move around in fluids, and scientists claimed they could be useful for monitoring radioactivity, pollutants, drugs, or diseases. Early xenobots survived for up to ten days.
A second wave of xenobots, created in early 2021, showed unexpected new properties. These included self-healing and longer life. They also showed a capacity to cooperate in swarms, for example by massing into groups.
Last week, the same team of biology, robotics, and computer scientists unveiled a new kind of xenobot. Like previous xenobots, they were created using artificial intelligence to virtually test billions of prototypes, sidestepping the lengthy trial-and-error process in the lab. But the latest xenobots have a crucial difference: this time, they can self-replicate.
Hang On, What? They Can Self-Replicate?!
The new xenobots are a bit like Pac-Man. As they swim around they can gobble up other frog stem cells and assemble new xenobots just like themselves. They can sustain this process for several generations.
But they don’t reproduce in a traditional biological sense. Instead, they fashion the groups of frog cells into the right shape, using their “mouths.” Ironically, the recently extinct Australian gastric-brooding frog uniquely gave birth to babies through its mouth.
The latest advance brings scientists a step closer to creating organisms that can self-replicate indefinitely. Is this as much of a Pandora’s Box as it sounds like?
Conceptually, human-designed self-replication is not new. In 1966, the influential mathematician John Von Neumann discussed “self-reproducing automata.”
Famously, Eric Drexler, the US engineer credited with founding the field of nanotechnology, referred to the potential of “grey goo” in his 1986 book Engines of Creation. He envisaged nanobots that replicated incessantly and devoured their surroundings, transforming everything into a sludge made of themselves.
Although Drexler subsequently regretted coining the term, his thought experiment has frequently been used to warn about the risks of developing new biological matter.
In 2002, without the help of AI, an artificial polio virus created from tailor-made DNA sequences became capable of self-replication. Although the synthetic virus was confined to a lab, it was able to infect and kill mice.
Possibilities and Benefits
The researchers who created the new xenobots say their main value is in demonstrating advances in biology, AI, and robotics.
Future robots made from organic materials might be more eco-friendly, because they could be designed to decompose rather than persist. They might help address health problems in humans, animals, and the environment. They might contribute to regenerative medicine or cancer therapy.
Xenobots could also inspire art and new perspectives on life. Strangely, xenobot “offspring” are made in their parents’ image, but are not made of or from them. As such, they replicate without truly reproducing in the biological sense.
Perhaps there are alien life forms that assemble their “children” from objects in the world around them, rather than from their own bodies?
What Are the Risks?
It might be natural to have instinctive reservations about xenobot research. One xenobot researcher said there is a “moral imperative” to study these self-replicating systems, yet the research team also recognizes legal and ethical concerns with their work.
Centuries ago, English philosopher Francis Bacon raised the idea that some research is too dangerous to do. While we don’t believe that’s the case for current xenobots, it may be so for future developments.
Any hostile use of xenobots, or the use of AI to design DNA sequences that would give rise to deliberately dangerous synthetic organisms, is banned by the United Nations’ Biological Weapons Convention and the 1925 Geneva Protocol and Chemical Weapons Convention. However, the use of these creations outside of warfare is less clearly regulated.
The interdisciplinary nature of these advances, including AI, robotics, and biology, makes them hard to regulate. But it is still important to consider potentially dangerous uses.
There is a useful precedent here. In 2017, the US national academies of science and medicine published a joint report on the burgeoning science of human genome editing.
It outlined conditions under which scientists should be allowed to edit human genes in ways that allow the changes to be passed on to subsequent generations. It advised this work should be limited to “compelling purposes of treating or preventing serious disease or disability,” and even then only with stringent oversight.
Both the US and UK now allow human gene editing under specific circumstances. But creating new organisms that could perpetuate themselves was far beyond the scope of these reports.
Looking Into the Future
Although xenobots are not currently made from human embryos or stem cells, it is conceivable they could be. Their creation raises similar questions about creating and modifying ongoing life forms that require regulation.
At present, xenobots do not live long and only replicate for a few generations. Still, as the researchers say, living matter can behave in unforeseen ways, and these will not necessarily be benign.
We should also consider potential impacts on the non-human world. Human, animal, and environmental health are intimately linked, and organisms introduced by humans can wreak inadvertent havoc on ecosystems.
What limits should we place on science to avoid a real-life “grey goo” scenario? It’s too early to be completely prescriptive. But regulators, scientists, and society should carefully weigh up the risks and rewards.
