And speaking of microbiologists, a little R3VOLUTION history, is in good order here..... it will be hard to understand the real implications of what is being investigated here in this foreword post from Minnesota...... unless you also understand the story in historical context. Most specifically, you should have the advantage of knowing the history now known as the "Microbiology Murders" if you have not heard of them yet.
It is helpful to understand this brief history....before reading the foreword post, below.

About the time of the start of the internet 1995-1999a lot of scientists began to suspect that the AIDS virus was not a single mutation from a sick monkey, but looked more like a bioweapon under testing? Their web sites full of questions on the science started to pop up here and there.

The reasons the scientists were raising their eyebrows, is because when they isolated the AIDS virus, and genetically back engineered the DNA code sequence, they found TEN different genetic sequence varieties instead of evidence of one mutation as we were told happened in the news.

The mathematical odds of a sudden mutation from one animal, into TEN different genetic mutations at once, are near zero. That's the mark of bioengineering. You would have to cut and splice the genes of the virus to get that rapid a change out of one animal.
The scientists thought that something else had happened. It was not an act of nature, mathematically speaking.

It was big news on the net back then. The scientists were able then to trace each "sequence" of each separate "AIDS virus" back to the outbreak source of origin, by following the AIDS outbreak records.

Some scientists claimed that they had traced them to the sequence in certain batches of vaccines, that it turned out, were grown on a kind of "mashed monkey kidney" in a vaccine lab.

Another writer or "government whistle blower" claimed that there was a big brew ha ha about the bad batches of vaccines, after the first two were release in the United States, with the AIDS virus in them. He explained that the kidney of the monkey had aids.... but that did not jive with the evidence of the ten DNA sequence Aids viruses, so I did not buy it. I thought maybe it was a cover story.
The last eight batches were released in Africa, he said. I never knew what to believe, except that people were dying in droves. That was for certain.

I remember one of the scientists had a map on his web site, of Africa...drawing each sequence of aids to it's source vaccine location in Africa..
I read at the time, that one virus sequence "vaccine batch" was released in San Fransisco.
One genetic sequence was released in New York.
The other eight were released in Africa. All of them were apparently different. That is what one scientist said at his site.
So that was two scientists that sort of had the same evidence. And one whistle blower, that seemed to have an "explanation" for how the virus got in the vaccines..... but his "whistle blowing did not jive with all of the evidence. It ignored ten separate DNA sequences problem

The implications were serious. Either someone really screwed up, or someone was testing a covert bioweapon.

Not long after these reports came out, from about the year 2000 to 2002, if I remember the years correctly, there was a string of sudden deaths and suicides among the worlds microbiologists... especially those who had access to labs, those we were told were about to go public on their bioweapon work, and those who would be capable of uncovering and backengineering a bioweapon program in progress.
You can still see old stories archived in these places: They were called the "Microbiology Murders"

Tying it all in to this new post:

Now, as a scientist, as I watched and read about AIDS...., given the release, assuming these scientists were "on to something", it puzzled me why it was that the Aids virus took off like a bat out of hell in Africa, killing nearly 3/4 of sexually active adults?

But in America.. it never really caught on, and never did the same damage?
Can you imagine what America would look like if 3/4th of the population of adults had died over ten years?
This was about the time that the term "race specific bioweapon" started to come into use.
I wondered if the batches sent to Africa were hardier strains?

Then, it hit me that we in this American nation are a "melting pot" genetically speaking... very few pure blood races, like you would still have in Africa. I myself am a genetic offspring of seven different breeds or nations
.
So, is this is a covert attempt to kill off specific people by other groups of people on the planet ???
(You know, without having to bother with guns..... thinking they can be sneaky? Not like it hasn't been the reason for war since the beginning of time...)

It dawned on me.....why Americans didn't die, like other populations of pure breds would have....
.Given the racial and ethnic mixes in most of our people in the United States, we are a lot like what Organic Farmers called "genetic wild types". It's hard to kill wildtypes with a genetic weapon. they are too varied. They are not genetically similar enough.

If the government (or even Lex Luthor, from Superman) tried to set up whole programs to try to use race specific bioweapons to kill the American population, it would be the worst scientific nightmare to try to do.

Like what race.... specifically... could you possibly call any American?

If your "black or of African decent", fact is you might be Thomas Jefferson's great great great grandson?
And every body is Irish on St. Patty's day... but who is 100% Irish, or anything else, in America?
Genetically speaking, we are wild type "mutts"... most of us, which is a really strong breed to be, as a scientific matter.. the strongest genetically.

In order to do a bioweapon probram on Americans that was "race specific", what they would need to do is actually collect our DNA on a really large scale and try to aim the weapons at DNA sequences that would be really common in large segments of our "melted pot" genetic mixes.

So, as A scientist, and a thinking Constitutionalist.... I have to ask....what POSSIBLE use, would Homeland Security have for collecting HUGE amounts of American DNA in such an underhanded covert fashion?
Read on now, because people need to know this is happening to babies being born in all 50 states. It has to be stopped.

Here's the post. Pass it to mothers to be for sure. And don't just swallow some web site's word for it that it's mandatory.
Sometimes its not the law...... its the COLOR of law they are working to enforce. I am going to read the Ohio Revised Code.

States Claiming Ownership of Newborn's DNA

by Marti Oakley Page 1 of 2 page(s)

http://www.opednews.com

Unknown to most new parents, or those who became parents in the last
ten or so years, DNA of newborns has been harvested, tested, stored
and experimented with by all 50 states. And all 50 states are now
routinely providing these results to the Homeland Security Department.

No doubt we can all see the benefits in testing for genetic disorders
or genetic traits and tendencies that could be more adequately dealt
with, in some cases actually deterring the onset of life-time
illness, but that seems not to be the real thrust of these programs.
It may have been initially….but not now.

As with all good things, there are always those who seek the more
evil path, in essence turning what should have been a life saving
tool, a preventative measure into something insidious and inhumane.
This is what has happened to this national effort.

Here in Minnesota the state tests for 56 various genetic disorders
and variants. At least 1/3 of these tests produce a false positive
meaning that a flaw was identified that actually did not exist.
Regardless, that false positive becomes part of the permanent record
of the child and follows them for the rest of their lives as does any
true positives. This means that the child will eventually and most
likely face discrimination in employment and the ability to gain
health insurance at any cost.

There are other nagging problems with this system. Although the
national website http://genes-r-us.uthscsa.edu/ insists that this
harvesting of DNA is a highly visible program, my own polling of
parents of newborns, or the grand parents had no idea that this was
being done to their children and grand children. Further, not one
knew that they had the right to demand the blood and tissue samples
be destroyed after 45 days per written request. Even had they known,
and the samples were destroyed (you would have no way of knowing if
they really were) the information gleaned from them would still be
available and on file…..in perpetuity.

Also unknown to at least the new parents in Minnesota, is that once
that 45 days has lapsed, the state now claims that they “own” the DNA
of that child. This claimed ownership now allows the state health
agency to test, tamper, alter, sell, farm out, and utilize in any way
they see fit, the DNA of your newborn. It can be manipulated,
spliced with other DNA, and used in ways never intended under the
screening program.

Now, there are forms that have to be signed that agree to this
invasion of privacy, but the problem seems to be that this is not
done during pre-natal care, but rather, at the time of delivery of
the infant. These forms are produced when the mother is ready to
deliver and is being admitted to the hospital. That’s when these
“informed consent” forms are dragged out to be signed. This is no
accident. Expectant parents simply sign what is put in front of them
and are told they must sign to complete admission. Nice, huh? And
none of them seems to be aware that what they are signing allows this
right to have those additional blood and tissue samples destroyed.
No matter, the damage is done and the results of those three extra
blood drops are forever recorded and along with it, a lot of genetic
information about the parents.

Although this is supposed to be an opt-in program, rather than an
“opt-out”, Minnesota has decided to interpret the law differently.
Our legislators have decided that opting out is the way it should
be…..regardless of the law. With that in mind they have gone one
step further and declared that if the parent doesn’t specifically opt
out….they are presumed to have “informed consent” and have opted in.

I have to give the special interests in Minnesota their dues.
Federal law and the courts have upheld the concept that human DNA
cannot be patented. But these fine folks, representing insurance
companies, medical institutions, and big pharma have found a way
around that bothersome ruling. Using a compliant legislature they
have made sure a system has been put in place that allows them to
indirectly access what should be the most private of all information,
the most identifiable information concerning an individual and in the
case of medical and pharmaceuticals, to use it in any way they see
fit once the state claims ownership.

In January 2007, a lady named Twila Brase president of the Citizens
Council on Healthcare, issued a written testimony to the Minnesota
legislature on the unethical and hidden uses of harvested DNA by the
state. The 18 page document can be located at:

http://www.oah.state.mn.us/cases/health4615/nbs-pc8.pdf

It is an eloquent treatise on the misuse of the DNA testing and the
right of parents to be fully informed of what is really afoot in
these programs.

Currently, we have a monumental effort under way by Sue Jeffers to
petition the state to;

Oppose illegal State government ownership of the blood, DNA and
genetic test results of newborn citizens in Minnesota. http://
www.cchconline.org/petition/babyDNA2007.php I

In July 1997, solely by an executive decision of health
officials-no law-the MN Department of Health began retaining the DNA-
filled blood specimens of all newborn babies. The State now claims
ownership rights to the DNA of more than 670,000 children (approx.
70,000 births/yr).

In July 1986, MDH began cataloging the genetic test results of
all Minnesota children. Approximately 1.4 million children are in the
database. Oppose the dissemination of newborn blood and DNA to
genetic researchers

I might suggest that each of you check the national website to
determine how extensive the DNA testing is in your state, especially
if you have children 10 years or younger. What you find may sicken you.

The idea of the state, any state, claiming ownership of the DNA of
anyone, most especially newborn babies is so repugnant to me that I
cannot find the words to express how offensive this is; what an
unconscionable breach of humanity this comprises. This issue is not
one of party affiliation or a right vs. left drama being played out.
This is the groundwork for future discrimination that will most
likely surpass employment and insurance targeting but eventually
could be used to decide who lives or dies, or who can reproduce.

There is however a level of humor in all the debating going on……
insurance company reps along with those of the business sector
assured everyone that these genetic tests will never be used to
discriminate in employment or insurance coverage. Now if that didn’t
make you laugh, nothing will.

But, all of us need to ask ourselves why this information would be of
any use to Homeland Security? What possible reason could they have
for cataloging and storing the genetic code of any newborn child?

In the end I find myself wondering where all these big religious
fomenters are that railed against gay marriage, stem cell research,
the right to choose for women and a host of other issues that would
supposedly destroy the traditional American family. Wouldn’t losing
ownership of your child’s or your own DNA be far more devastating
than these issues? And yet, not one rock star preacher has spoken
one word that I can find condemning this practice. Not a peep! It’s
probably just a case of a lost message in all the speaking God does
to them when he puts a “word of knowledge in their hearts” about the
woes of society.

My advice? Find out what is happening in your own state and to what
extent your state is testing and participating in this program that
is so loaded with secret agendas and obviously in opposition to many
state and federal laws. Maybe what is needed is a class action
lawsuit brought in each state by parents who were unaware that they
or their children no longer own their own DNA.
