Un-Holy Cow! China Engineers And Clones ‘Super Cows’

 Chinese scientists have successfully cloned three cows that can produce an unusually high amount of milk, state media reported. According to researchers, these cloned cows are capable of producing 50% more milk than the average American cow.

Scientists sampled tissues from cows across China and used what’s called the somatic cell nuclear transfer method, which involves taking the nucleus from a body cell of the animal to be cloned and transferring it into a donated egg cell. Then embryos were placed inside surrogate cows.

The cloning experiment began last year at the Northwest University of Agricultural and Forestry Science and Technology in Shaanxi, China. The three calves, bred by scientists, were born in the Ningxia region in the weeks leading up to the Lunar New Year on January 23. These calves were cloned from highly productive cows from the Holstein Friesian breed, which originated in the Netherlands. According to Chinese state media, the chosen animals are capable of producing 18 tons of milk per year, which is nearly 1.7 times the amount of milk an average cow in the United States produces.

Jin Yaping, the lead scientist called this a birth of ‘super cows.’ Furthermore, he said, this breakthrough has great significance for China to concentrate and preserve in an economically feasible way the very best cows in the country, and ‘super cows’ are efforts to revitalize its agricultural sector with breeder animals.

For dairy cows, China is 70% reliant on overseas purchases. According to Global Times, China has roughly 6.6 million cows, however, only about 5 in 10,000 such cattle in China are highly productive.

According to Jin Yaping, this new cloning method means, that people can preserve the genes of these super cows in a timely manner and these cows can provide an excellent resource for future breeding....<<<Read More>>>...

Actors Are Already Selling Digital Clones of Themselves for $500. Are Stars Next?

 Getting digitally cloned was easier than Devin Finley expected it to be. The voice-over artist, who also works as a model and bar manager, entered a studio in Manhattan last spring and read a script from a teleprompter.

Across the room, a man with a large camera working for Hour One, a Tel Aviv–based video agency specializing in providing clients with lifelike virtual humans, filmed Finley from the waist up. Over Zoom, a director offered instructions about how much to move his hands. He was done in less than an hour.

When Finley first learned that he could license his virtual twin, he had reservations. He was skeptical that a digital double, as the nascent sub-industry calls it, could capture his personality. He also disapproved of A.I.–generated avatars eventually taking jobs from people. Then again, the situation enabled the impossible. “You can be in two places at one time,” he said, and the new income stream meant that “as you get older or you’re on vacation, your avatar is still virtually making money for you,” possibly speaking a language he has never learned, without ever aging beyond 36.

And so Finley accepted an initial payment of $500 and signed a contract giving Hour One a certain number of credits to book his twin in videos used for marketing, product tutorials, online training, employee onboarding, and more. If he was in high demand, Hour One, which lists Nvidia, Microsoft, and DreamWorks among its clients, would buy more credits from him.

“It’s a new technology—either you hate it or you love it,” Finley said. So long as the company kept its promise to keep him out of political, sexual, and malicious content, he was open to loving it....<<<Read More>>>...

What food is next to be MUTATED on the GMO chopping block?

[Monsanto.news]: Do you eat mutated food daily? Every meal? Do you even have the right to know what’s in your food? It seems only normal that we should all know if there are pesticides in our food that kill bugs, choke weeds, cause asthma, cause psoriasis, and contribute to humans cells mutating into malignant ones. Most Americans don’t even know the ingredients of the prescription medications their doctors sling, and that’s including all immunizations and influenza vaccinations.

Maybe you do know about most GMO foods, but have you heard about the latest mutated Frankenfoods (like apples and plums), or the ones they’re about to adulterate (or already doing so secretly) in Biotech laboratories around the country? They do it to animals, too, you should know. They also clone meat and sell it to fast food restaurants under the guise of being “generally recognized as safe” for consumption (GRAS), even though no negative test results (human health detriment proof) will ever be published by the food-mutating goons. What’s your poison? Is it the “impossible burger” or is it “beyond meat?”

Did you know that Biotech is currently working on altering the DNA of tobacco, trees, flowers, sugar cane, tomatoes, rice, wheat, chicory, cantaloupe, bananas, and mosquitoes? It’s true. The GM mosquito was approved by the FDA back in 2016. Yup...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Are Human Clones Real??

[Humans Are Free]: Are human clones real?

We dove into this topic on for a recent episode of The Collective Evolution Show and interestingly enough, we found that claims of human cloning are quite real, and there are multiple individuals who claim to have successfully cloned human beings, including one Canadian company called Clonaid.

For those who aren’t familiar, cloning animals has already been done and repeated in labs.

Experts are also looking at cloning to regenerate new organs that could replace faulty ones. Multiple universities intend to produce cloned human embryos in order to derive stem cells for medical research on diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and other illnesses....read more>>>...

Frankenstein experiments combine human and animal DNA in the name of “science”

Natural News: here are not too many subjects which remain controversial in modern society. It seems like everywhere you look there is a person or group pushing for the right to do pretty much what they want. And yet, there remains one subject which is highly controversial and will elicit very strong feelings one way or the other from pretty much anyone who is asked: The genetic engineering of animals in the name of science.

This type of scientific tinkering includes the cloning of animals, transgenesis (the transferring of genetic material from one organism to another), and the deletion or manipulation of certain genes. Scientists have already cloned sheep; “created” cows without horns; developed massive dragonflies; created a spider-goat which looks just like a goat but contains spider DNA which makes it produce milk that can be spun into silk; and altered nature in other scary ways...read more>>>...

A Word on "Enki & Enlil"

According to the ancient Sumerian texts, the Sumerian god, Anu, the “supreme Lord of the Sky”, the currently reigning titular head of the Sumerian Family Tree, had two sons. They were Enki (Ea), Lord of the Earth and Waters (whose mother was Antu), and Enlil (Ilu), Lord of the Air and Lord of the Command (whose mother was Ki). These two half-brothers -- surprise, surprise -- did not get along.

Critical to their rivalry -- particularly from Earth’s viewpoint -- was the fact that Enki had been the first of the Anunnaki to hazard a trip to Earth to begin a mining operation for gold. When this effort did not apparently produce gold in sufficient quantities, Enlil was brought in, given command, and armed with a new plan (an early version of the New Deal). The revised program was to mine gold from deep mines in the Earth.

Enki was not happy about his brother’s promotion because, although Enlil was the elder of the two, his mother (Ki) was Anu’s junior sister, whereas Enki’s mother (Antu) was the senior sister. True kingship, claimed Enki, progressed as a matrilineal institution through the female line, and by this right of descent Enki maintained that he was the first born of the royal succession.”

“I am the great brother of the gods. I am he who has been born as the first son of the divine Anu.”

If there is a philosophy of Enki, it manifests and explains itself in early Mesopotamian and Egyptian thought, where the true creator of the universe was manifest within nature, and that nature enveloped both the Anunnaki, and the humans. Nature, as the Great Mother, was still supreme, despite any patriarchal scheme to the contrary. Admittedly, Enki’s claim of his birthright, the one being based on a matrilineal succession -- essentially the mitochondria DNA link, which is wholly passed through the female line -- was in Enki’s best interests. But Enki was also the maternal grandfather who came to the aid of Inanna when things went badly during her Descent into the Underworld.

With the arrival of Enlil, however, who in his best interests must demean the matriarchal line of succession, and thus nature itself -- everything changed. The Great Mother was dethroned and replaced by a supreme male (as opposed to a male consort for the Queen). The idea of cooperation -- as exemplified by the council of Anunnaki making cooperative decisions -- was quickly replaced by competition, and harmony was forsaken in favor of subservience. The supreme god became abstract, and any physical connection with human or nature was lost -- and thus the link between nature and human also destroyed. When Enlil hit town, there was a whole new deal put into effect.

Illegal Cloning? ‘Dumped Fetuses Could Be Half Human, Half Engineered’


Hundreds of human fetuses, found in a forest in central Russia, may have been removed from a local medical university. Police are questioning a researcher, who was fired last year and could have taken the material she was working on with her. However, some doctors say the dumped fetuses could even be the product of cloning.

Cloned meat betrayal: Unlabelled dairy and beef products to go on sale here after OUR minister sabotages Europe's call for a ban

A campaign to put controls on cloned meat and milk was killed off yesterday by the UK Government and Brussels. The move signals the start of a free-for-all in 'Frankenfood' - despite claims the technology is cruel and unethical. Shoppers will be left in the dark because products from the offspring of cloned animals will not require special labels. One MEP warned supermarkets could soon be flooded with their milk. In the dark: The decision by the government and Brussels means that consumers will no longer know if the meat they buy comes from cloned animals Commission officials joined her in arguing that such controls could provoke a trade war with Washington. Most MEPs, on the other hand, called for a complete ban or, failing that, clear labelling. However, in marathon talks which ended yesterday, the labelling compromise was rejected by the Commission, the UK Government and Tory MEPs....Read More

Cloned Animals – Consumers Shall Have No Choice

'A non-public EU Commission paper confirms that food from offsprings of cloned animals are already on the European market. The animals get into the market via the import of breeding material from the US. The EU Trade Commission argues that in future too these products should not be regulated, labelled or controlled for unexpected risks, because so far no systems have been established for registering the animals in exporting countries such as the US. If the EU Commission succeeds, consumers within the EU will not get any information about these products like milk and meat, despite a high level of consumer rejection of cloning of animals for food production. “Products that are widely rejected on ethical concerns are to be disposed of via consumers. The EU Commissioner De Gucht is giving in without a fight to industrial agriculture lobbyists. This is astonishing since only very few companies are making profits from this highly controversial technology,” says Christoph Then at Testbiotech in Germany...Read more:

Clone food could be sold without warning labels as Eurocrats force change in the law

Milk and meat from cloned animals’ offspring could soon be on sale without any warning labels, shoppers were warned last night. The European Commission is threatening to force through the change – with the backing of the British Government. The alarm was raised by the European consumer group, BEUC, whose director general, Monique Goyens, said: ‘Consumers must be able to know and choose what they eat.’ Currently, it is illegal to sell meat or milk from clone animals or their offspring in the UK. Anyone who wishes to do so would have to apply for permission from the Food Standards Agency. The European Commission takes the view that food from the offspring of clones should be allowed into the high street without any labels or the need for approval. The Commission opposes the sale of food from clones themselves, however the UK government has no objection. Both European and UK scientists have highlighted a lack of research to ensure food safety. Animal welfare groups have identified serious welfare problems for the clones, including deformed organs and gigantism. The Commission is arguing that any ban on food from clone offspring risks triggering a trade war with the U.S., where most cloning of food animals currently takes place. Brussels says that as the U.S. does not have an official tracing system to identify which animals are the offspring of clones, it would be impossible to label the resulting food. At the moment there are just over 100 clone offspring animals on British farms. If the Commission gets its way, this is likely to rise dramatically. (Daily Mail)

After Touching Your Junk, TSA Now Wants to Scan and Harvest Your DNA

'As if it's not enough for the TSA to feel you up at the airport, now they're experimenting with rapid results DNA scanners that can scan and analyze your DNA using just a drop of saliva. Spit at the TSA agent who is molesting you, in other words, and they can use that saliva to scan your DNA and then store it in a government database.

Why would they want to do that? We can only imagine. Remember, it was Alex Jones who broke the story about hospitals secretly taking blood samples of babies and handing them over to the federal government for use in a national genetic database....Read more:

Cloned meat gets the go-ahead: Minister rejects ban despite health and animal welfare fears

The spectre of a clone food free-for-all came a step closer yesterday. Ministers want to allow the unrestricted sale of meat and milk from so-called Frankenfarm animals. They are ready to reject the idea of a ban as ‘disproportionate in terms of food safety and animal welfare’. The move was immediately condemned by campaigners who warned that cloning poses a serious threat to animal welfare.It will also trigger a fierce consumer backlash, with evidence that the vast majority of people oppose clone farming on welfare and ethical grounds. Many are also fearful about eating clone food amid concerns there has been too little research to guarantee its safety. The RSPCA and Compassion in World Farming point to high levels of miscarriage, organ failure and gigantism among new-born clones. The policy, drawn up on the orders of the controversial Conservative Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman, would also rule out labelling. (Daily Mail)

EU to Back Sale of Meat and Milk from Cloned Animal Offspring

'The sale of meat and milk from the offspring of cloned farm animals is set to be backed by EU Commissioners despite mass consumer opposition. A huge majority of the public is against clone animal farming, according to studies in Britain and across Europe.

Concerns surround the ethics of the process, the welfare of the animals and a lack of research on food safety. However, a leaked report to be discussed by the EU’s College of Commissioners today comes out in favour of food from the offspring of clones...Read more
