Monsanto announced last week that it licensed the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool from the Broad Institute in Boston for use in seed development. The technology will allow the agritech giant to edit crops’ DNA by “snipping” away undesirable traits – or adding in more desirable ones – of the plants’ genetic codes. Frankenfood? [1]

In what is believed to be a first, a Swedish scientist has attempted to edit DNA in healthy human embryos. [1]
Developmental biologist Fredrik Lanner is the first known researcher to conduct the experiment, which has long been considered taboo due to safety and ethical concerns.

Even the term lies is a euphemism. It doesn’t even come close. But I think you know that. At least, I hope you know that. I discuss herein.
Virtual flashing and hi-tech adultery. Yes, Anthony Weiner, the human punchline. I know he’s a joke and pathetic but we must review how his case will rewrite the law as, per Lionel’s law, the law always lags behind technology. I discuss herein.
Hillary Clinton’s attendants and handlers prepare her for her “press conference” later in the day. She assures us she’s fine.
NYC lout-in-chief, Mayor Bill de Blasio said there was no specific or credible evidence to link the incident to terrorism. What?!
As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests. (Gore Vidal)
Meanwhile the planet crumbles. And what are we not discussing? What are the mainstream sock puppet media ignoring altogether? How are deceived? Let me count the ways.
“Can’t a girl have a sick day or two? Don’t get me started, because when it comes to overqualified women having to try a hundred times harder than under qualified men to get a break, or even a level playing field, well, we know that story.” CNN’s Christiane Amanpour
This is mendacity on human growth hormone. A profound contempt for clarity, transparency and leveling with the American citizen and potential voter. It’s simply mind-boggling. The enemy of limpid and bare truth. Beyond corrupt. Putrescence personified. America will learn a lesson this time.
A lot of people are willing to spend a few extra bucks to buy organic produce and antibiotic-free meat these days, while others aren’t too worried about eating foods made with genetically modified ingredients or sprayed with pesticides. Well, it seems that scientists recently made history when they served up – and ate – the first full-meal consisting of genetically engineered food using CRISPR technology.
Look carefully. Three beams. Three beacons. Three? Yes, three. Why?
