New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 ________________________________________ Part 1, Corporate Gov't Genetically Engineering Slave & Master Races ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROBERT KNIGHT: The book, "The Human Body Shop: The Engineering and Marketing of Life", by Andrew Kimbrell documents the wide range of Frankenstein monsters, chimeras, that are now being produced. There are chilling stories of the exact research that mated human genes with pig genes, and the creature that resulted. There is the issue of how genetics is going to be used in population control. There is so much information here that we need to cover. So please now go to your phone and call (212)279-3400 to pledge a donation to keep listener-sponsored WBAI alive. We are on the threshold of a new field of opportunity and a danger, and this is how to know where we stand. I'm here tonight with Prof. Michio Kaku, and we're speaking live with Andrew Kimbrell in Washington, D.C. He is the associate director of the Foundation on Economic Trends, and, as you can hear, he is well aware of the concerns that make this the leading radio station and our audience the most aware audience and therefore, the one that will be the most responsible for changing conditions that are out of control and beyond the knowledge of those who are harmed by those policies. MICHIO KAKU: We're going to be on from 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock tonight, beginning with biotechnology, then science and militarism, going into smart weapons, going into the New World Order and the unipolar World, Pax Americana, and winding up on the topic of warfare in outer space. Let me ask you a personal question, Robert. Why should people donate money to this radio station? Why do you think that this radio station is so valuable that people should contribute money to it? ROBERT KNIGHT: Well, obviously, with the very nature of what they're doing right now, what one doesn't know can hurt one. Information is power. People sometimes say that WBAI is important because it can change the World, an expression written on much of our revelatory work during my time here as news director, with UNDERCURRENTS, with EARTHWATCH and so on. That is true. We changed policy. We sent some clandestine scoundrels running. We helped people to empower themselves. But I think that more to the essence of it is not that WBAI can change the World, but rather that WBAI can change you, and then YOU can change the World. It gives you the knowledge, the insight, the strength, the serenity to change the way things happen when they get out of control. MICHIO KAKU: That's right. And we not only touch people's minds, we also touch people's hearts. And that's what happened to me twenty-five years ago in 1968, a very tumultuous year in the history of the World. It was also a year in which I found myself drafted into the United States Army. I was drafted right out of Harvard University into Fort Benning, Georgia, and I was able to get a temporary leave to be at the University of Calfornia at Berkeley I was a very confused kid. I didn't understand anything about politics. I didn't understand all of these enormous historical forces that were swirling around me. I was like a leaf being blown in the wind. And one time I turned on the radio and happened to catch KPFA, our Pacifica Network sister station in Berkeley. KPFA radio gave me the first inkling that there was perhaps another World out there, with a consistent way of thinking about militarism and how it was connected to large corporations and connected to the profit motive. KPFA was sort of like a turning point in my life, and when I came here to New York City after getting my Ph.D. from the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley, I decided to try to search out and find out where is this fabled sister station of KPFA. That's why you should call (212)279-3400. ROBERT KNIGHT: Andrew Kimbrell's "The Human Body Shop: The Engineering and Marketing of Life": It's not simply a technical issue. It is an issue that is rife with new science, with new social policies, and it is also an economic battleground. MICHIO KAKU: Ignore this technology at your peril. You can be like an ostrich and hide your head in the sand, thinking that biotechnology is going to go away, just as many people thought that nuclear technology would go away. Well, it's here to stay. The genie is out of the bottle, and the question is: How much rampage will this genie cause? ROBERT KNIGHT: We are going back to the issues of genetic ethnocide and related matters that are now before us in this opened Pandora's Box of technology. MICHIO KAKU: Let's get a few more calls quickly because we have Andrew Kimbrell himself, waiting patiently on the line in Washington, D.C., waiting to tell us this volume of information that you are NOT going to get in the Wall Street Journal which, of course, trumpets the brighter side, the profit motive side of biotechnology and how it's going to give us a cornucopia of biological bonanzas. We refuse commercial advertising because we want to keep WBAI the most important radio station in the United States, and therefore, we need your donations to pay the bills and keep us alive, and keep our transmitter alive at 50,000 watts covering the greater New York metropolitan area. ROBERT KNIGHT: Our guest is Andrew Kimbrell, author of "The Human Body Shop: The Engineering and marketing of Life". The foreword of the book, by the way, is by our friend Jeremy Rifkin, also of the Foundation on Economic Trends, with which Andrew Kimbrell is associated, as well. Andrew, there have been increasing developments that associate, or attempt to associate behavior with genetics. Simultaneous with the issue of gays in the military comes the newspaper report stating that some people feel they have identified a gene that is responsible for homosexuality. There have been certain invidious allegations that certain ethnic cultural groups behave in a certain way beacause of their genes. Can you address that issue and the way that it is being used at this time? ANDREW KIMBRELL: Certainly. As both of you know, they're spending three billion dollars of our taxpayers' money analyzing the human genome, and while most of us support the work that's being done to cure disease, that's not ALL that's going on. Unfortunately, much of that money is being spent to analyze genes that have nothing to do with disease. Six hundred thousand dollars is going to the University of Pennsylvania to try to find the gene responsible for IQ, the human intelligence quotient. Dr. Richard Plauman[sp] up there says that he wants to find the "really bright kids through their genes." (to be continued)
