Transhumanism, PsyWar and B.E.P.'s "Imma Be" Apr 17th, 2010 | By
LVB<http://vigilantcitizen.com/?author=10>| Category: Vigilant
Reports <http://vigilantcitizen.com/?cat=1>

*The article named "The Transhumanist and Police State Agenda in Pop
Music<http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=3306>"
briefly explored the transhumanist theme of the Black Eyed Peas' video "Imma
Be/Rock that Body". Vigilant Citizen collaborator LVB expands on this
subject and describes the Psychological Warfare techniques used in this
video.*

<http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/leadimmabe.jpg>

The Black Eyed Peas "*Imma Be / Rock that Body*" video is a masterpiece of
high tech computer-generated imagery and state of the art digital music
production. It is also one of the most blatant examples of *Psychological
Warfare and deception* that I have ever seen in modern mass media. This
article will discuss

1) What *Transhumanism* actually is.

2) The massive use of *Psychological Warfare techniques* in this video and *all
forms of mass media*.

3) Analysis of the video, itself – to show you *how* these psychological
concepts, the occult and Transhumanist symbolism and the deceptive storyline
are integrated in this video to promote the dangerous agenda of the cult
known as *Transhumanism*.
The Transhumanist Agenda

<http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/628911_8a81edcac3_m.jpg>

*Transhumanism* is the name of a movement that claims to support the use of
all forms of technology to improve human beings. It is far more than just a
bunch of harmless and misguided techie nerds, dreaming of sci-fi movies and
making robots.

It is a *highly organized and well financed movement *that is extremely
focused on subverting and replacing every aspect of what we are as human
beings – including our physical biology, the individuality of our minds and
purposes of our lives – and the replacement of all existing religious and
spiritual beliefs with a new religion of their own – which is actually not
new at all.

For now, let's just start at the start.
The Elitist Creators of Transhumanism and Eugenics

*"The term 'Transhumanism' was coined by biologist **Julian Huxley in 1957,
who defined it as "man remaining man, but transcending himself, by
realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature."*

Julian Huxley was the brother of *Aldous Huxley*, who you may know was the
author of the very famous book, "*Brave New World*", which is a vision of
the future that most people view as "*The New World Order*" (along with the
book "*1984*", by *George Orwell*) – a depressing future police-state world
in which a one world government uses technology, such as surveillance
cameras, psychological warfare (propaganda) and brutal military/police
forces to *control everyone and everything* in this dystopian, fictional
world.

The founders of *Transhumanism*, were *highly educated and wealthy
individuals of primarily British and European descent*. These individuals
were what we would call people of the elite, ruling class of society, and
their views were absolutely elitist, if not outright totalitarian and
fascist in nature.
Eugenics <http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/EnthanasiePropaganda.jpg>This
Nazi propaganda poster is encouraging public support for its Eugenics
program. The poster says that the mentally-challenged man in the picture is
costing German citizens too much money, and should be put to death for his
own good – and to keep costs down.

One of the key concepts of old school Transhumanism was the elitist
pseudoscience of *Eugenics*, or "*racial hygiene*", which is a concept that
still exists today in the modern, shiny, high-tech version of what is
adoringly called *Transhumanism, Human+, or H+*, by its cult followers.

*"Eugenics is the study and practice of **selective breeding applied to
humans, with the aim of improving the species. In a historical and broader
sense, Eugenics can also be a study of "**improving human genetic
qualities". Advocates of Eugenics sought to counter what they regarded as
dysgenic dynamics within the human gene pool. Specifically, in regard to the
continuation of congenital disorders and factors impacting overall societal
intelligence relating to the heritability of IQ.*

*Eugenics was widely popular in the early decades of the 20th century, but
has largely fallen into disrepute after having become **associated with Nazi
Germany. Since the postwar period, both the public and the scientific
communities have associated Eugenics with Nazi abuses, such as enforced
racial hygiene, human experimentation, and the extermination of
"undesirable" population groups.*

*However, developments in genetic, genomic, and reproductive technologies at
the end of the 20th century have raised many new questions and concerns
about what exactly constitutes the meaning of Eugenics and what its ethical
and moral status is in the modern era."*

So, *because the Nazi atrocities became so widely known*, the ideas of
Eugenics went underground for awhile. But the original ideas and goals
of "*improving
the species*" and "*improving human genetic qualities*" are still front and
center, albeit in a more subtle and glamorous package now. They try to avoid
discussing those embarrassing ideas, like *how to keep the undesirable races
from breeding so much*.

The modern mutation of *Transhumanism* claims to only support "*voluntary
eugenics*", which sounds much more benevolent than mandatory sterilization
and euthanasia of undesirable humans, doesn't it? But, if you have any sense
at all, you will probably realize that this *ethnic cleansing of the gene
pool* ("improving the species" and "improving human genetic qualities")
simply cannot and will not ever happen if it is *voluntary*.

We should all understand that ideas such as "*voluntary eugenics*" will not
be voluntary anymore, if and when the people who believe in these radical
ideas get political and financial power. In fact, they already do have
substantial wealth and power, and are working very hard to impose this
Transhumanist agenda on our world – *whether we like it or not*.
The Principles and Concepts of Transhumanism

*Transhumanists* believe they are working toward a new and improved
existence, leaving everything we have known in the dust bin of history,
welcoming a new "*Golden Age*" of superbeings. They want to become an
entirely new species, transcending what we are as humans, using radically
advanced technology to achieve their goals. Let's look at just a few of the
primary concepts and goals of *Transhumanism*.

*The Hive Mind*

* <http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/worker-bees3.jpg>*

* *

One of the primary concepts of the Transhumanist agenda is "*The Hive Mind*
".

"*Hive Mind *: A type of *collective consciousness where individuality is
stifled*; a state of conformity; also written *hivemind*".

"A group of people who give the false impression of being a hivemind (1),
eg. by *mindlessly following orders*."

One of the early *Transhumanist elites*, along with *Julian Huxley*, was *Sir
Charles Galton Darwin*, the grandson of *Charles Darwin*, who founded
the *theory
of evolution*.

So, anyway, here is one of *Charles Galton Darwin's *quotes relating to the
*Hive Mind*:

"There might be a drug, which, without other harmful effects, removed the
urgency of sexual desire, and so, *reproduced in humanity the status of
workers in a beehive*."

As I said previously, the founders of *Transhumanism* had *elitist views
about what humanity should be*. This *Human Beehive *concept has been
*envisioned
by the ruling elite class throughout history as the ideal society*. The
ultimate slave race, scientifically designed to conform, obey and serve the
needs of the elite – *worker bees who do not question or rebel*.

Transhumanists envision this *Hive Mind *as being possible when *all people
across the world can link their minds together using technology*, creating a
symbiotic existence through the new superintelligence of this collective
Hive Mind. *Forget about the needs of the individual – it's all about the
Hive*. They refer to this collective, superintelligence as the
*Singularity<http://www.transtopia.org/principles.html>
*.
Uploading Your Mind

<http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mind_uploading.jpg>

"MURG <http://minduploading.org/mailman/listinfo/murg>" is the acronym that
Transhumanists use to refer to the "Mind Upload Research Group".

The Hive Mind, or Singularity, that they are working toward, will occur,
they believe, when technology exists that will allow humans to "upload their
minds" to an artificial memory device, a sort of global hard drive, so that
the combined intelligence of all our minds will create this new
superintelligence that is the Singularity, or Hive Mind.

The Cult of Transhumanism

*"Instead of meekly worshiping fictional gods, or blindly dismissing the
ideals they represent, we should seek to become godlike ourselves. The body
is weak, but the mind can be forever. People may die, but they can be
preserved and resurrected. This world may in many ways resemble hell, but we
can create heaven on earth. The universe may be a place of chaos and
entropy, but we can fill it with order and intelligence. Guided by reason
and empowered by technology, we can bend reality to our will, and make the
impossible possible."*

Transhumanist ideas of becoming gods and having eternal life through
technology certainly display an extreme level of vanity. Not just the simple
human vanity of wearing nice clothes and putting on makeup to look good –
but to BE gods – therefore, rejecting and replacing God, entirely. This is
the Luciferian doctrine.
*Pragmatic Morality
*

The Transhumanist idea that they call *Pragmatic Morality*, is simply a
recycled and renamed version of the oldest deception in the world – that
there is no good or evil.

Here is how this concept applies to the beliefs of the cult of
Transhumanism:

*"Ethics and morals must serve, or at least not stand in the way of,
boundless self-actualization. They should be tools and guidelines for
successful living, not instruments of senseless repression. Like the flesh,
traditional morality is something to be overcome. There is no 'Good' and
'Evil'; just efficiency and inefficiency; intelligence and stupidity;
winners and losers. There is only rational self-interest, and those too
timid and ignorant to pursue it. This simple yet profound realization forms
the bedrock of an empowered worldview, and is a key step towards achieving
enlightenment and transcendence."*

The Patron Saint of Transhumanism

<http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/6a00e398b114200005010980bfa21f000b-500pi.jpg>

"'Lucifer' is the Latin term originally used by the Romans to refer to the
planet Venus when that planet was west of the sun and hence rose before the
sun in the morning, thereby being the morning star."

"According to Extropian philosopher Max More, "Lucifer is the embodiment of
reason, of intelligence, of critical thought. He stands against the dogma of
God and all other dogmas. He stands for the exploration of new ideas and new
perspectives in the pursuit of truth." He is also the archetypal iconoclast,
rebel, and adversary (the word 'Satan' is from a Hebrew word, 'Sathane',
meaning adversary or culminiator; in original Jewish usage [see the book of
Job], Satan is the adversary, not of God, but of mankind; i.e., the angel
charged by God with the task of proving that mankind is an unworthy
creation). In the transtopian context, Lucifer represents ambition,
rebellion, rational enlightenment, and the dark side of Transhumanism."

Selling Transhumanism to the Masses using Psychological Warfare

<http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/crest2.gif>

What exactly is "*Psychological Warfare*"?

*Psychological Warfare (PSYWAR)* is defined by the *U.S. Department of
Defense* as:

"The planned use of propaganda and other psychological actions having the
primary purpose of *influencing the opinions, emotions, attitudes, and
behavior…of groups in such a way as to support the…objectives*."

"*Various techniques are used, by any set of groups, and aimed to influence
a target audience's value systems, belief systems, emotions, motives,
reasoning, or behavior*."

This is often referred to as "*winning hearts and minds*", or
similarly, "*Capture
their minds and their hearts and souls will follow*."
Metacommunication

*Metacommunication* is a natural human communication process, which is as
simple as saying, "I love you", while you are smiling – *communication on
two levels*. Throw in a hug and there are three levels of communicating this
positive message.

All communication consists of (at least) two levels. First, there is the
"content level" of what is being said, literally. Second, there is the level
that Gregory Bateson calls *metacommunication*, which is the underlying
message or tone of the communication, which can be as simple as a facial
expression. We often recognize this as being the "*tone*" of someone's
voice, or how something is being said. So, you have *what is being said, and
how it is being said*. The tone is actually the "*command*" portion of
communication, because it is designed to instruct or position the receiver
(or victim) of the communication to interpret the message in a certain way.

Bateson's communications theory can help reveal the interaction operating
behind the message. Every communication, he claims, has both a report [*the
actual message*] and a command aspect [*tone*]. While the report conveys
information about a state of affairs, the command positions the receiver to
adopt a particular attitude towards the report and (leads them to) respond
in a certain way. The *command* element of the message is a *
metacommunication* about the context of the message – *the nature of the
relationship in which the information is exchanged*.
Falsified Metacommunication – Mixed Signals and Deception

<http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/warpeace.jpg>

The point where this becomes *falsified metacommunication* in mass media is
when they include a primary false message in an advertisement or music
video, which is designed *not only to sell the product, but also to
influence the viewer's attitudes and beliefs*.

Daniel Lerner <http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/tf4b69n6q0/>, who
was part of the OSS (the predecessor of the CIA), called this the "*Black
Level<http://www.questia.com/PM.qst;jsessionid=LQHYnW6Qnjy2X2GKkwlJRCG0tYgmKv4vNk9MRGfymnK1f1ymmXMx%212059447378%21811041904?a=o&d=55370839>
*" of Psychological Warfare, because it includes:

"*Commissions of falsification (lies) intended to deceive the enemy*".

There are *many layers of communication* in movies, videos, advertising and
news media that *we usually don't even realize on a conscious level*, and
that is what this part of the article and the BEP video are all about.

The term, *falsified metacommunication*, was coined by anthropologist
Richard Herskowitz. It can be understood, in part, using the simple example
of a *con-man*:

He shakes your hand, smiles at you and tells you nice things…*as he steals
your money*.

It is a strategy of deliberately distracting you from his real purpose or
goal by using friendly, charming deception. It is saying one thing, as a way
of distracting the victim with

Icelandic Volcanoes–Disrupting Weather & History Since 1783

Prominent_plumeIf past is prelude, then the volcanic eruption in Iceland
whose plume of ash has grounded almost 300 flights across Europe may not
only affect air travel in the coming days, it may also have a lingering
impact on Europe's weather. Experts are looking back to the aftereffects of
a previous eruption–when the Laki volcano in Southern Iceland exploded more
than 200 years ago. That explosion had catastrophic consequences for
weather, agriculture and transport across the northern hemisphere – and
helped trigger the French revolution [The Guardian].

The Laki volcanic fissure erupted over a eight month period between June
1783 and February 1784. Within Iceland, the lava and poisonous clouds of gas
ushered in a time known as the "Mist Hardships": farmland was ruined,
livestock died in vast numbers, and the resultant famine killed almost a
quarter of the population.

The eruption's impact wasn't confined to Iceland alone. Dust and sulfur
particles thrown up by the explosion were carried as a haze across Northern
Europe, clouding the skies in Norway, the Netherlands, the British Isles,
France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. In conjunction with another volcanic
eruption and an unusually strong El Nino weather pattern, the Laki eruption
is thought to have contributed to extreme weather across Europe for the next
several years.

Describing the summer of 1783 in his classic Natural History of Selborne,
British naturalist Gilbert White wrote it was "an amazing and portentous
one … the peculiar haze, or smokey fog, that prevailed for many weeks in
this island, and in every part of Europe, and even beyond its limits, was a
most extraordinary appearance, unlike anything known within the memory of
man" [The Guardian]. Gilbert wrote that the haze blanked out the sun at
midday, that it was "particularly lurid and blood-colored at rising and
setting," and that the heat was so intense that "butcher's meat could hardly
be eaten on the same day after it was killed." This bizarre summer was
followed by an usually harsh winter, historians say. Environmental
historians have also pointed to the disruption caused to the economies of
northern Europe, where food poverty was a major factor in the build-up to
the French revolution of 1789 [The Guardian].

Experts observing this week's volcanic eruption at Eyjafjallajökull
(pronounced AY-ya-fyat-la-yo-kult) say that while the scale of crisis may
not be the same, continued eruptions at the spot could cool temperatures in
Northern Europe. Richard Wunderman, a volcanologist with the Smithsonian
Institution's Global Volcanism Program said the volcanic plume contains a
lot of sulfur "that can become an aerosol up there that hangs around a long
time reflecting sunlight" [The New York Times], creating a regional "volcano
weather" effect.

But a bigger concern lurks nearby. Just a few kilometers to the east of the
erupting vent is a much bigger and potentially more dangerous volcano called
Katla. In the past, when Eyjafjallajökull erupted, Katla did too. So
scientists are closely monitoring Katla to see if it, too, might go [Science
News].

The one bright spot in the current explosion, say scientists, is that there
may be enough aerosols in the atmosphere to cause brilliant red sunsets
across Europe.

Online game shoppers duped into selling souls
by Chris Matyszczyk

I first sold my soul to a girl with a very large gap in her teeth. It took
me years to get it back. (Yes, souls are recoverable.) But then I met a
former trapeze artist from a Hungarian circus. The rest, as they say, is
misery.

I have no reason to believe this lady is a customer of GameStation.
(Credit: CC Dreamglow Pumkincat 210/Flickr)

So I feel a peculiar and vigorous bond with the 7,500 people who, so
mesmerized by the idea of buying a video game, sold their souls to the UK
gaming retailer GameStation.

You might think I am making this up. You might think that no one can buy
someone else's soul. At least, not legally. Well, please check your own soul
compartment, just in case you might have inadvertently sold its contents
while ordering up a new Xbox 360.

According to Fox News, you see, GameStation decided to slip a clause into
the terms and conditions of its purchase contracts that gave the company the
rights to your immortal being.

The clause makes for stimulating reading: "By placing an order via this Web
site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you
agree to grant Us a non-transferable option to claim, for now and for ever
more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree
to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5
(five) working days of receiving written notification from
gamesation.co.ukor one of its duly authorised minions."

The retailer reportedly began this clause as an April Fool's joke, but then
developed it in order to prove to itself, the world, and the heated
inhabitants of Haedes that no one reads these often draconian draftings.

So it penned this fun addendum to the soul-selling contract: "We reserve the
right to serve such notice in 6 (six) foot high letters of fire, however we
can accept no liability for any loss or damage caused by such an act. If you
a) do not believe you have an immortal soul, b) have already given it to
another party, or c) do not wish to grant Us such a license, please click
the link below to nullify this sub-clause and proceed with your
transaction."

These, you see, are very reasonable people. They do not want merely to steal
your soul and make off with it into the digital night. They want you to
think very carefully. They want you to take stock of your spiritual
situation and consider just how venal a human you have become.

In this case, the retailer not only offered a simple box to tick in order to
opt out of the soul sale. It even offered an incentive of a voucher worth
five British pounds for merely paying attention to their legalese. But
GameStation estimated that almost 90 percent of those offered this
redemption did not bother, leaving their souls at the mercy of those who
would sell you a Monster Hunter.

GameStation has reportedly said it doesn't intend to enforce its soulless
clause. E-mails will be sent to customers to confirm this. However, the
spiritual world doesn't work in subsections and codicils. It works in vapors
and potions, curses and oaths.

So who knows what has really happened to the souls of these customers? Will
they float forever in the ether, waiting to saved? Will they appear in some
future Michael Jackson compilation video? Or will some bright and spiritual
spark at Goldman Sachs invent a new financial instrument: the Soul Default
Swap?

Coming<http://www.smh.com.au/world/science/volcanoes-be-afraid-be-very-afraid--the-supervolcano-is-coming-20100416-sj01.html>
*
Every so often the earth chooses to remind us that we really aren't in
control of this planet. The volcanic eruption in Iceland, which began on
Wednesday, is just such a reminder. As ash spews out across northern Europe,
grounding all flights across Scandinavia and Britain, we begin to realise
how powerless we humans are. But as volcanic eruptions go, the fireworks on
Iceland are small fry. Scientists rank volcanoes according to how explosive
they are, using the volcanic explosivity index (VEI), which goes from zero
to eight. The measurement is based on how much material is thrown out of the
volcano, how high the eruption goes and how long it lasts. Like the scale
used to measure earthquake size, the VEI is logarithmic - meaning that a
volcano with a VEI of five is 10 times more powerful than one with a VEI of
four. As yet, scientists haven't managed to gather enough data to calculate
the VEI of Eyjafjoll, but Thorvaldur Thordarson, an expert on Icelandic
volcanism at the University of Edinburgh, estimates that this one is
probably a two or three - similar to the eruptions seen on Mount Etna on
Sicily in 2002 and 2003, and the kind of eruption we expect to see somewhere
on earth at least once every year. By contrast, the eruption of Mount St
Helens, in the north-west of the US in May 1980, was a one-in-10-year event,
with a VEI of about four.

*Strange Meteor Shower, Explosion Light Up The Night
Sky*<http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/90905649.html>
"This huge tail was following this big ball, and it was just as bright as
the sun," says Jeff Boyle. Boyle was on his way from work after 10 p.m.
Wednesday when he saw the strange object falling from the sky in Waukesha.
He drove to where it seemed to have landed near Crites Field, only to
discover a multi-vehicle crash at a nearby intersection. Boyle wasn't alone
in witnessing what was determined to be a meteor shower. People reported
seeing it in Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee, Waukesha and Sheboygan among other
places. "This meteor was bright enough to be in the class of a
fireball," said Astronomy Magazine editor Michael Bakich in an interview
with Newsradio 620 WTMJ's "Wisconsin's Morning News." Reports of the bright
fireball flooded county sheriff dispatch centers across the southern half of
Wisconsin. National Weather Service offices in La Crosse, Davenport and Des
Moines, Iowa as well as St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri received
numerous reports of the fireball from law enforcement officials and the
public. A black and white rooftop webcam captured video of the fireball over
Madison.

*Icelandic Eruptions May Disrupt Air Traffic For
Months*<http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aWhdMivcLsNg>
Volcanic eruptions in Iceland which this week caused thousands of flights to
be canceled may continue for months, disrupting European air traffic as ash
is sporadically blown above the continent's busiest airports. More than
20,000 flights have been grounded after an April 14 eruption of the
1,666-meter (5,466-foot) Eyjafjallajökull volcano sent dust billowing across
thousands of miles of European airspace and closed terminals from Dublin to
Moscow. "It could go on for months," Sigrun Hreinsdottir, a geophysicist at
the University of Iceland, said in a telephone interview from Reykjavik.
"From what we've seen, it could erupt, pause for a few weeks, and then
possibly erupt again." Canceled flights are costing carriers about $200
million a day, the International Air Transport Association estimates.
Restrictions over most of the U.K. will remain in place until 1 p.m. at
least, shutting London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, and while
terminals have reopened in Scotland and Ireland, others have closed as the
cloud drifts southeast. Flights have been halted amid concern that the ash
plume could damage engines or parts such as speed sensors. The finest
material from the blast is formed of dust akin to glass, which can melt and
congeal in a turbine, causing it to stop, said Sue Loughlin, head of
vulcanology at the British Geological Survey.

Mission<http://industry.bnet.com/pharma/10007751/chip-implanter-positiveid-aims-to-clean-up-a-pr-mess-one-of-its-own-making/>

That sounds a lot like a microchip to me, especially as the page was
dominated by a photo of a microchip (pictured above), and a headline that
said, "The Health Link Microchip," which you can see in this copy of the
original page. When I pointed this out to Gibraltar, the page disappeared.
The rep said in an email: "The old VeriChip Web site you link to and quote
is no longer active -– the company, now known as PositiveID, has a new Web
site here: www.positiveidcorp.com. I understand the confusion that could
result from reading the old site, so let me clarify this again for you -–
Health Link is a software-based PRH product. It is in no way affiliated
with the FDA-approved RFID VeriChip or any other injectable products
PositiveID currently has under development." For good measure, the rep added
later: "I understand that the presence of the old site may have created some
confusion. It has been taken down." So far, so good. Unless you're an
investor reading PostiveID's annual report, as filed with the SEC. It
describes Health Link as an FDA-approved microchip system on pages 6 and
26... So there you have it: The chip and the medical record system used to
be the same thing but now they're separate. And while the company is
offering its Health Link medical records system to various customers, that
offer does not come with chips. (Of course, it's still not clear why you'd
want to get a VeriChip implant if it's *not* linked to the Health Link
system.) All clear? Addendum: PositiveID even made a TV commercial in which
its microchip was described as "Health Link." Watch it here before it
mysteriously disappears.

*Bayer Admits GMO Contamination "Out Of
Control"*<http://www.naturalnews.com/028585_GMOs_Bayer.html>
Drug and chemical giant Bayer AG has admitted that there is no way to stop
the uncontrolled spread of its genetically modified crops. "Even the best
practices can't guarantee perfection," said Mark Ferguson, the company's
defense lawyer in a recent trial. Two Missouri farmers sued Bayer for
contaminating their crop with modified genes from an experimental strain of
rice engineered to be resistant to the company's Liberty-brand herbicide.
The contamination occurred in 2006, during an open field test of the new
rice, which was not approved for human consumption. According to the
plaintiffs' lawyer, Don Downing, genetic material from the unapproved rice
contaminated more than 30 percent of all rice cropland in the United States.
"Bayer was supposed to be careful," Downing said. "Bayer was not careful and
that rice did escape into our commercial rice supplies." The plaintiffs
alleged that in addition to contaminating their fields, Bayer further harmed
them financially by undermining their export market. When the U.S.
Department of Agriculture announced the widespread rice contamination,
important export markets were closed to U.S. producers. A report from
Greenpeace International estimates the financial damage of the contamination
at between $741 million and $1.3 billion.

The breakthrough gives hope of healthy children to couples with genetic
disorders in their families. It also offers the prospect of eradicating
fatal genetic diseases. But the procedure - dubbed three person IVF -
sparked controversy last night. Researchers at Newcastle University set out
to prevent damaged DNA in mitochondria - the "batteries" that power cells -
from being passed on to offspring. They removed nuclei from the sperm and
egg of affected couples, leaving behind the mitochondria. The nuclei were
put into one of the fertilised eggs left over after other women had IVF
treatment. This egg had its nuclei removed - but retained its healthy
mitochondria. Eighty embryos were created but destroyed after eight days.
Lead researcher Professor Doug Turnbull said: "What we've done is like
changing the battery on a laptop." The scientists would need a special
licence to culture embryos for longer periods and the procedure would
currently be illegal in IVF clinics. One in 200 British children born each
year has a genetic mutation and some are fatal. But opponent Josephine
Quintavalle, of the anti-cloning group CORE, said: "They are creating a
child with two mothers. We have to find better ways to cure diseases."

*Watchers Science To Merge Human Genetics From Foreign
"Databanks" With Transgenic Goats, Cows, And Sheep
*<http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10638717&ref=rss>
Scientists have been given permission to put human genes into goats, sheep
and cows for the next 20 years, to see if the animals will produce human
proteins in their milk.
AgResearch won Environmental Risk Management Authority approval to allow
scientists to breed and keep genetically-modified animals at the Ruakura
research facility, near Hamilton. The work will begin with genetically
modified cows, and could be expanded to genetically modified goats within
the next year. Simon Terry, of environmental consultancy the Sustainability
Council, said he feared Ruakura would become a "GM animal warehouse" because
there were no limits on the number of animals. Jon Carapiet, of GE-free NZ,
said the decision was the beginning of a "mega-transformation" of New
Zealand agriculture. AgResearch hopes human proteins made by the animals
could eventually be used to make "biopharmaceuticals" to treat rare human
diseases and boost New Zealand's income in the pharmaceuticals market. Keeping
GM goats will be a first for the facility, and people who spoke at the
public hearing on the application were eager to warn the company about
goats' incredible abilities to escape. Dr Suttie said any human DNA used
would almost certainly not be from a traceable person. *It was now possible
to build wholly synthetic human genes in a test tube using information bought
from overseas databanks*, he said. Agresearch has said it will not use Maori
DNA because of cultural concerns. Meanwhile, ERMA is considering broader
plans by AgResearch to modify livestock to make antigens,
biopharmaceuticals, enzymes, hormones and other products after the Court of
Appeal overturned a High Court decision blocking the applications...

Netanyahu: We won't stop working to bring home Gilad Shalit
By Jonathan Lis, Liel Kyzer and Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondents and
Haaretz Service
Tags: Israel news

Israel will continue its efforts to bring home abducted Israel Defense
Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on
Monday at a Memorial Day ceremony in Jerusalem dedicated to the victims of
terror attacks.

"We won't stop taking action to bring Gilad Shalit home," said Netanyahu,
who also took the opportunity to call on Shalit's captors to release him.

Shalit was captured by Gaza militants in a 2006 cross-border raid.

Netanyahu addressed the families of terror victims, saying, "We commemorate
the memory of thousands of terror victims murdered in attacks against
Israel.

"The only sin committed by these victims, was that they lived in Israel, or
visited Israel. But they weren't sticklers - they killed Israelis outside of
Israel too. The murderers slaughtered them only because of their identity."

A bereaved father attending the ceremony interrupted Netanyahu's speech
lamenting the government's approach to terror attacks, but he was quickly
subdued by security guards and asked to return to his seat.

Resuming his speech, Netanyahu then remarked that terror is not a new
phenomenon, and that it has accompanied Zionism since the very beginning.
"Today, the support is coming from the extreme Islamist regimes, headed by
Iran, who have wholeheartedly adopted the calls to destroy Israel."

"The masterminds behind these attacks as well as those who carry them out
erase the lines dividing babies from the elderly, dividing fighter from
fighter, and dividing Jews and non-Jews," Netanyahu went on to say. "They
have nothing but utter contempt for the values and rules customary in the
human and enlightened world."

The prime minister added that Israel will extend its hands to "anyone who
wishes to live with us in peace, but those who wish us ill, and those who
kill our children, we will pursue everywhere and exact revenge for their
hatred and their crimes."

In this comment, Netanyahu echoed sentiments he had uttered several hours
earlier during the national Memorial Day ceremony at the Mount Herzl
cemetery, during which he had said We are a peace seeking nation who prays
for peace."

The prime minister addressed Israel's efforts to achieve peace with its
neighbors, saying that "our one hand is extended in offering peace to our
willing neighbors, while the other wields a sword to protect ourselves
against from those who seek to destroy us."

"On this day," Netanyahu continued, "the entire nation is embracing the
mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, the sons, daughters and wives of the
great big bereaved family," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said

"Our loss is greater than we can bear," he added. "Our only comfort is to
continue our loved ones' path and to keep their memory alive."

Netanyahu, who lost his own brother Yoni in a military operation in Uganda
in 1976, addressed the bereaved families in attendance saying "my brothers
and sisters, members of bereaved families, every family has its own way of
dealing with the loss. I remember once when I saw my mother sitting in an
armchair in the living room of my parents' house staring off into the
distance when suddenly a smile passed over her face. I asked her 'what are
you thinking about?' and she said 'I'm thinking about Yoni. I have only good
memories.'"

Israelis across the country stood in silence for two minutes on Monday
morning to remember the 22,684 soldiers and civilians who were killed in
Israel's wars and terror attacks since the beginning of modern Zionism up
until today.

Following the two minute siren at 11 A.M., Memorial Day ceremonies began in
military cemeteries across the nation. Some 1.5 million visitors were
expected to attend the various ceremonies Monday.

On Sunday, Netanyahu addressed a ceremony honoring Israel's Memorial Day at
Jerusalem's Ammunition Hill, saying that Israel has learned that peace can
only be achieved if it remains strong and prepared to defend itself.

"Over the years, we have learned that the olive branch of peace will be
achieved only if we remain strong, only if we are prepared to defend
ourselves in the same way our fallen soldiers did at this site," he told the
crowd. "They attacked from this site and other hills not out of lust for
war, but out of belief in the righteousness of the goal of defending the
Jewish people's one and only country."

Netanyahu also stressed the importance of Jerusalem, saying, "Twice we have
paid a heavy price to relieve the siege on Jerusalem - the first time during
the War of Independence, and the second time when the city was bombarded
during the Six-Day War. Jerusalem, which was then a withered, divided city,
has returned to being a city full of life."

Since those wars, he added, not a day has passed on which Israel did not
extend its hand in peace to its neighbors, "and our hand is still
outstretched."

Netanyahu said that Memorial Day and Independence Day are inextricably
linked. "We know that the first part is not possible without the second
part," he said. "I wish it were different."

At 8 P.M. last night, Israel fell silent for one minute as sirens wailed
across the country to mark the start of Memorial Day. Peres then lit a
memorial flame at the official ceremony at the Western Wall plaza in
Jerusalem and addressed Israel's bereaved families, saying that Israel seeks
peace, but will defend itself in case of war.

"On this blessed occasion, I want to say in the name of the state of Israel
at large: We do not seek war," Peres told the families. "We are a nation
that yearns for peace, but knows, and will always know, how to defend
itself."

Nothing, he told that families, can compensate for the loss of a loved one.
"I am aware that nothing can compensate for the sound of your son's steps,
which you expect to hear on the staircase, but have suddenly gone silent,"
Peres said. "Facing your tormented eyes, I am at a loss for words."

However, he added, "Israel's strength springs from the strength of its
faith, and its greatness emanates from the heroism of its sons. Today we
grieve for their loss and are blessed by their legacy."

Noting that Israel still faces threats, he warned those who seek to harm it
not to "belittle our capabilities."

"There are still those who wish to annihilate us," Peres said. "At their
head is the autocratic Iranian regime that seeks to impose its rule on the
Middle East, silence it with lethal weapons and launch an anti-Israel
incitement campaign to deflect Arab fears."

Though alone among the nations, he continued, "we had the good fortune to
have sons that defended us with great courage. Alone we won seven wars, and
emerged from them stronger and more determined.

"We are a democratic country, with many divisions and chasms, internal
disagreements and wrangling, yet we are also a nation that knows how to
stand united and put aside the bickering in times of need, to defend itself
and inflict a resounding defeat on those who wish to destroy us."

He ended by thanking all those who have defended Israel and their families.
"We want to express our gratitude, from the bottom of our hearts, to the
youths who are no more, whom you raised and in whom you instilled the values
that made them what they were until their last breath," he concluded. "It is
their courage that gave our people the strength to face the challenges ahead
- not to fear the enemy, not to cease building, not to lose faith in the
peace to come. And it will come."
