New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 ________________________________________ Part 5, Corporate Gov't Genetically Engineering Slave & Master Races ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ANDREW KIMBRELL [author of "The Human Body Shop: The Engineering and Marketing of Life"]: Our own U.S. Government researchers at the National Institutes of Health are trying to patent BRAIN genes in the hope of actually owning the patent that might be responsible for intelligence. Now, you and I know that they're never going to find these purported genes responsible for behaviors, but these scientists are doing a genetic land grab to try and get all of this. For anyone who is interested in animal [rights] issues, they've got to keep up with biotechnology because, as I describe in the book, they are cloning larger mammals. I describe a truly horrific experiment in England where cloning led to the creation of some really horrifying cows. They are currently under study. And I recently learned that at Texas A.& M. University they are cloning cows that produce the perfect marble steak. They're actually making Xerox copies of the animal kingdom. In other words, they're treating virtually all of life, at this point, as if it was genetic information -- as if it was machines. ROBERT KNIGHT: Andrew, the policies that are being made now, the very quiet decisions about patent ownership, the chilling stories about milking women .... there is legislation, there are business protocols being formed on the use of materials that are found in the pristine territories such as in the rain forests, the jungles, and so on. In fact, just recently, that issue was advocated or lobbied by members of the Clinton Administration. Was it not? ANDREW KIMBRELL: That's right. This is such a key point. Just as we saw the first stage of colonialism where the First World went into the Third World in order to get their resources, be it tin or rubber. They went in to try to get those inanimate minerals (e.g. ore, fossil fuels) from the Third World. Now, we're seeing a new wave of GENETIC colonialism wherein First World corporations and governments are going into the rain forests, going into the Third World in order to expropriate their resources. In October, my organization [The Foundation on Economic Trends, of Washington, D.C., phone: (202)466-2823] is working with the Third World Network. We're going to have worldwide demonstrations and a legal action against W.R. Grace Corporation and other corporations which have gone into India. They`ve taken the neme[sp] tree. Now, many of your listeners may know that the neme is sort of a magic tree in India. They use it as a natural pesticide. They use its bark as a dentifrice. That's why their teeth are in such an extraordinary condition. They use it for a number of cures for diseases, including cancer. Well, First World corporations have heard about this. They've gone into India and other places, got the neme tree and they've patented it. There are twelve patents by W.R. Grace Corporation and others on various aspects of the neme tree. And now, W.R. Grace is planning to build a factory in India where they are going to use the neme tree and, no doubt, exhaust much of the resources of the neme tree that are being used by the indigenous peoples there, by the local communities there. ROBERT KNIGHT: Andy, we are just about out of time. Please take a minute or so to give us a sense of why this issue is important -- why one must be on the forefront of it, as you are. ANDREW KIMBRELL: I think that, as we've been saying, the genetic revolution is going to transform virtually every aspect of our lives. We are going to see genetically-engineered foods in our supermarkets. We are going to see reproductive technology, surrogate motherhood, using a variety of reproductive techniques whereby they're doing terrible things to women's bodies. We are going to be seeing genetic engineering used in warfare. We are going to be seeing it used in industry. We are going to be seeing it used as a whole new wave of colonialism against the Third World. These battles are in place right now. They will be controlling our lives and the lives of our fellow creatures. They will be controlling the lives of many of the indigenous Third World peoples around the World. It's TERRIBLY important to be informed. And I will add that very few broadcast stations give the truth about this technology. Very few show its risks as well as its benefits. WBAI is one of those rare stations, and that's why many of us, including myself, here in Washington, are so grateful that WBAI exists. ROBERT KNIGHT: And we're grateful for your work. Thank you, Andrew Kimbrell, author of "The Human Body Shop: The Engineering and Marketing of Life". One of the points that we've talked about, Michio, is that there were four environmental organizations. But, on this issue of First and Third World patenting, and on issues like using women for body fluids, and so on, even THEY got fooled. I mention that to point out that even the best of minds can be confused. It's a whole new issue, and we're trying to reveal it here. MICHIO KAKU: By calling (212) 279-3400, you can pledge a donation to WBAI which will help us to pay our bills and thus, to keep non-commercial, listener-funded, community radio alive. Remember. Ignore this new technology at your own peril! You might be like an ostrich, sticking your head in the sand, only to find this gigantic freight train called biotechnology headed your way. Just think of it: sixty-six laboratories within the United States investigating designer germ warfare -- twenty-four human genes that have been inserted into animals, creating all sorts of grotesque forms of life -- forty accidents that have taken place at the Fort Detrick Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases, right outside of Washington, D.C. -- and the possibility of SUPER AIDS. I mean, that is chilling; an airborne ... get that, an airborne super AIDS virus that may be accidentally created, as the entire genome of the AIDS virus is injected into mice for the very first time. ROBERT KNIGHT: Women being milked, as if victims trapped in the spider web of technology, for their body fluids. PEOPLE being patented! Animals being patented. Tomatoes that bounce. All of these things are taking place, and that can happen only because we do not understand the technology. But we're changing that. That's why we're here -- so that you can change that.
