In 'defense' war programs, researchers in the USA, UK, Russia and Germany have genetically engineered biological weapons agents, building new deadly strains.

German military researchers at the Santitaetsakademie der Bundeswehr in Munich, the main BW research facility of the German army, cultured genetically engineered Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica bacteria, a close relative of the causative agent of tularaemia.

An antibiotic resistance marker gene (tetracyclin) was been inserted into these bacteria.

Genetic engineering can be used to broaden the classical bioweapons arsenal.

Through genetic engineering, bacteria can not only be made resistant to antibiotics or vaccines, they can also be made even more toxic, harder to detect, or more stable in the environment.

By using genetic methods that are standard procedures in thousands of labs worldwide, bioweapons can be made more virulent, easier to handle, and harder to fight. In short, more effective.

A favorite trick of Illuminati and elite power structure collaborating to reduce unwanted populations

UK police agents acting for their Illuminati masters
UK airport police agents jail Kevin Annett at 8 pm Sunday night May 29 2011 upon his flight from speaking in the Netherlands, and deported him the next morning so he could not speak in London against child trafficking.
Kevin Annett represents The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS)
Kevin Annett:
“The only reason they gave for denying me re-entry into England was that my giving public lectures was not an appropriate activity for visitors to that country, if you can believe that.”
UK customs police and members of the private security firm Reliance obeyed the commands of supervisors who instructed them to jail the ITCCS tribunal speaker.
While detained, Kevin was denied the right to communicate with others and the arresting officers refused to give him their names or badge numbers.
Kevin Annett:
“This was obviously aimed at our ITCCS tribunal, to prevent its convening this September in London.   But nothing will halt our campaign for the murdered and tortured children.”
An example of information the ITCCS are bringing forth:
Indigenous schools in Canada were established and run jointly by the Vatican and the Crown of England in 1834 and continued until 1996.
Children were forcibly removed from their indigenous homes against their parents wishes and forced to attend the schools.
Nearly half of the 150,000 children in these schools died because of treatment and conditions at the schools — a favorite trick of Illuminati and elite power structure working to reduce unwanted populations.

GM Industry Puts Human Gene into Rice
by Geoffrey Lean
Scientists have begun putting genes from human beings into food crops in a dramatic extension of genetic modification.   The move, which is causing disgust and revulsion among critics, is bound to strengthen accusations that GM technology is creating "Frankenstein foods" and drive the controversy surrounding it to new heights.
Even before this development, many people, including Prince Charles, have opposed the technology on the grounds that it is playing God by creating unnatural combinations of living things.
Environmentalists say that no one will want to eat the partially human-derived food because it will smack of cannibalism.
But supporters say that the controversial new departure presents no ethical problems and could bring environmental benefits.
In the first modification of its kind, Japanese researchers have inserted a gene from the human liver into rice to enable it to digest pesticides and industrial chemicals.   The gene makes an enzyme, code-named CPY2B6, which is particularly good at breaking down harmful chemicals in the body.
Present GM crops are modified with genes from bacteria to make them tolerate herbicides, so that they are not harmed when fields are sprayed to kill weeds.   But most of them are only able to deal with a single herbicide, which means that it has to be used over and over again, allowing weeds to build up resistance to it.
But the researchers at the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences in Tsukuba, north of Tokyo, have found that adding the human touch gave the rice immunity to 13 different herbicides.   This would mean that weeds could be kept down by constantly changing the chemicals used.
Supporting scientists say that the gene could also help to beat pollution.
Professor Richard Meilan of Purdue University in Indiana, who has worked with a similar gene from rabbits, says that plants modified with it could "clean up toxins" from contaminated land.   They might even destroy them so effectively that crops grown on the polluted soil could be fit to eat.
But he and other scientists caution that if the gene were to escape to wild relatives of the rice it could create particularly vicious superweeds that were resistant to a wide range of herbicides.
He adds: "I do not have any ethical issue with using human genes to engineer plants", dismissing talk of "Frankenstein foods" as "rubbish".   He believes that that European opposition to GM crops and food is fuelled by agricultural protectionism.
But Sue Mayer, director of GeneWatch UK, said yesterday:  "I don't think that anyone will want to buy this rice.   People have already expressed disgust about using human genes, and already feel that their concerns are being ignored by the biotech industry.   This will just undermine their confidence even more."
Pete Riley, director of the anti-GM pressure group Five Year Freeze, said:  "I am not surprised by this.
"The industry is capable of anything and this development certainly smacks of Frankenstein."

MON 863 — Rats fed Monsanto GM corn due for sale in Britain developed abnormalities in blood and kidneys
Kite flown to protest cultivation of GM maize.
A kite is flown to protest against the cultivation of GM genetically modified maize.

France is Europe's top agricultural producer.

In a cavern under a remote Arctic mountain, Norway will soon begin squirreling away the world's crop seeds in case of disaster.

Dynamited out of a mountainside on Spitsbergen island around 1,000 km (600 miles) from the North Pole, the store has been called a doomsday vault or a Noah's Ark of the plant kingdom. 

The European Space Agency said nearly 200 satellite photos this month taken together showed an ice-free passage along northern Canada, Alaska and Greenland, and ice retreating to its lowest level since such images were first taken in 1978.

Arctic ice has shrunk to the lowest level on record, new satellite images show, raising the possibility that the Northwest Passage that eluded famous explorers will become an open shipping lane.

The 16 September 2007 Arctic minimum ice extent falls below the minimum set on 20-21 September 2005 by an area roughly the size of Texas and California combined, or nearly five UKs.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center, NSIDC, judges the ice extent on a five-day mean.

Arctic sea ice shrank to the smallest area on record in 2007, US scientists have confirmed.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said the minimum extent of 4.13 million sq km (1.59 million sq miles) was reached on 16 September, 2007.

The figure shatters all previous satellite surveys, including the previous record low of 5.32 million sq km measured in 2005.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the Northwest Passage was open.

Rats fed on a diet rich in genetically modified corn developed abnormalities to internal organs and changes to their blood, raising fears that human health could be affected by eating GM food.
The Independent on Sunday can today reveal details of secret research carried out by Monsanto, the GM food giant, which shows that rats fed the modified corn had smaller kidneys and variations in the composition of their blood.
According to the confidential 1,139-page report, these health problems were absent from another batch of rodents fed non-GM food as part of the research project.
The disclosures come as European countries, including Britain, prepare to vote on whether the GM-modified corn should go on sale to the public.
A vote last week by the European Union failed to secure agreement over whether the product should be sold here, after Britain and nine other countries voted in favor.
Forced into retirement
...That research, which was roundly denounced by ministers and the British scientific establishment, was halted and Dr Arpad Pusztai, the scientist behind the controversial findings, was forced into retirement amid a huge row over the claim.
Dr Pusztai reported a "huge list of significant differences" between rats fed GM and conventional corn, saying the results strongly indicate that eating significant amounts of it can damage health.

GM: New study shows unborn babies could be harmed
Mortality rate for new-born rats six times higher when mother was fed on a diet of modified soya
By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor
Published: 08 January 2006
Women who eat GM foods while pregnant risk endangering their unborn babies, startling new research suggests.
The study — carried out by a leading scientist at the Russian Academy of Sciences — found that more than half of the offspring of rats fed on modified soya died in the first three weeks of life, six times as many as those born to mothers with normal diets.
Six times as many were also severely underweight.
The research — which is being prepared for publication — is just one of a clutch of recent studies that are reviving fears that GM food damages human health.
Italian research has found that modified soya affected the liver and pancreas of mice.   Australia had to abandon a decade-long attempt to develop modified peas when an official study found they caused lung damage.
And last May this newspaper revealed a secret report by the biotech giant Monsanto, which showed that rats fed a diet rich in GM corn had smaller kidneys and higher blood cell counts, suggesting possible damage to their immune systems, than those that ate a similar conventional one.
The United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation held a workshop on the safety of genetically modified foods at its Rome headquarters late last year.
The workshop was addressed by scientists whose research had raised concerns about health dangers.
But the World Trade Organisation is expected next month to support a bid by the Bush administration to force European countries to accept GM foods.
The Russian research threatens to have an explosive effect on already hostile public opinion.
Carried out by Dr Irina Ermakova at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it is believed to be the first to look at the effects of GM food on the unborn.
She found that 36 per cent of the young of the rats fed the modified soya were severely underweight, compared to 6 per cent of the offspring of the other groups.
More alarmingly, a staggering 55.6 per cent of those born to mothers on the GM diet perished within three weeks of birth, compared to 9 per cent of the offspring of those fed normal soya, and 6.8 per cent of the young of those given no soya at all.
"The morphology and biochemical structures of rats are very similar to those of humans, and this makes the results very disturbing" said Dr Ermakova.   "They point to a risk for mothers and their babies."
Environmentalists say that — while the results are preliminary — they are potentially so serious that they must be followed up.
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has asked the US National Institute of Health to sponsor an immediate, independent follow-up.
The Monsanto soya is widely eaten by Americans.
There is little of it, or any GM crop, in British foods though it is imported to feed animals farmed for meat.
Tony Coombes, director of corporate affairs for Monsanto UK, said: "The overwhelming weight of evidence from published, peer-reviewed, independently conducted scientific studies demonstrates that Roundup Ready soy can be safely consumed by rats, as well as all other animal species studied."
What the experiment found
Russian scientists added flour made from a GM soya to the diet of female rats two weeks before mating them, and continued feeding it to them during pregnancy, birth and nursing.
Others were give non-GM soya or none at all.
Six times as many of the offspring of those fed the modified soya were severely underweight compared to those born to the rats given normal diets.
Within three weeks, 55.6 per cent of the young of the mothers given the modified soya died, against 9 per cent of the offspring of those fed the conventional soya.

 Given nobel prize for genetically engineering unnatural animals
Animals that will never know living life as free entities
That will to all intent be tortured all their life
Placed in great pain
And then killed
Oxford University
Torture factory for animals
The story so far:
At the beginning of 2004, Oxford University claimed that the site on South Parks Rd was to be an 'Animal Hotel'.
They said that "no experiments would be carried out there and there would be no primates".
These statements were to mark the start of a series of lies and misinformation that has proven to be the norm for Oxford University.
Oxford University later issued a statement which contradicted their initial claims, finally admitting that "the facility will be used to experiment on animals".
Oxford University believes it has no reason to inform the outside world about the nature of animal experiments carried out within its facilities.
A closer look at their research on animals at the university reveals exactly why they are so desperate to keep the lid on the new lab.
An experiment published in Nature in 2002 described how ten week old kittens had one eye sewn together and had a part of their skull removed to expose the brain.
In 2003 another published paper highlights the long-term nature of animal suffering inside Oxford University. artificially produced brain damage.
Artificially produced brain damage
Three Rhesus Macaque monkeys with artificially produced brain damage were subjected to a variety of tests. artificially produced brain damage Two of the monkeys involved in this experiement had part of their brains removed ten years previously whey they were five years old.
A leading Oxford Professor claimed that the monkeys experimented on lived "the life of Riley" and that "there was no pain or stress."
These words are from a researcher who has routinely inflicted brain damage on highly intelligent and sensitive creatures and who's own published papers describe how after on experiment the monkeys required 'intensive nursing' to keep them alive.
Oxford University has sought to impose a draconian injunction on those involved in a legal and peaceful campaign against the new animal lab on South Park Rd in order to stop them highlighting the lies told by the University.
'Asset'
The London Times newspaper reported that police had investigated a case of cruelty against a leading professor at Oxford University.
The article stated that the professor had refused to have a monkey that was suffering put out of its misery because he described it as an 'asset'.
This intransigence persisted despite please from the university's own vet to end the animal's suffering.
It was only after a direct intervention by the Home Office that this poor creature's torment was ended.
Scientists concerned about spread of GMOs in Russia
RBC, 11.12.2003, Moscow
A group of Russian scientists is going to request President Putin to impose a temporary moratorium on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), Alexander Baranov, a research officer of the Institute of Development Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, announced at a press conference today.
According to him, the measure is necessary until all possible risks and effects of GMOs on the environment and people's health are fully researched.
The scientist mentioned that according to the results of investigations conducted by scientist in Sweden and the USA, 8 percent of people in Sweden and 70 percent of people in the USA proved to be allergic to GMOs.
In Russia the number of people with marked symptoms of allergy increased by three times over the past three years. It is possible that this development was caused by genetically modified food and organisms that are widely traded across Russia, Baranov indicated.
According to Baranov, the Grain Union of Russia has recently submitted to the government a bill that envisages legalization of GMOs in Russia. It is therefore necessary to develop and approve a bill on biological safety as soon as possible, and provide access to GMO-related information, the expert concluded.

Asthma in UK children double EU average
British children are twice as likely to suffer from asthma as those in other European countries, it has emerged.
A European Commission study found that Britain has a 13.2% rate, almost double the EU average of 7.2%, the Daily Mail reported.
Bad diets have been partly blamed for the figure as British children do not tend to eat as many foods rich in vitamin E such as oily fish, nuts and some vegetables, which can guard against asthma, the newspaper said.
Other factors thought to affect children include parents who smoke, and pollution.
Asthma reportedly kills 1,500 people a year in Britain and costs the NHS £850 million.
Anthony Seaton, professor of environmental medicine at Aberdeen University, told the Daily Mail:
"Asthma tends to be worse in prosperous countries and there are two main theories.
"One is that increasing levels of hygiene and the resulting lack of exposure to infections and allergens leave children with less immunity to asthma.
"The other relates to diet and I believe this is linked to the change from locally-produced food to ready-prepared stuff, fast food and junk foods."
The EU survey was carried out in January and February this year and included 1,000 people from each country.

Number 10's wildlife experts warn against GM damage
Mark Townsend
Sunday October 19, 2003
Chief wildlife advisers have dealt another massive blow to the case for genetically modified (GM) crops, warning that the technology will 'seriously degrade' swaths of countryside.
In a damning report, English Nature also warns that the use of GM oilseed rape and sugar beet would speed up the loss of farmland birds.
Replacing conventional oilseed rape with GM varieties would be similarly disastrous, according to the Government's conservation experts, who say the crop is Britain's most important for providing feed for birds, producing up to 30 times more sustenance than the average cereal field.
Fears are mounting that species such as the skylark could be extinct in 20 years if GM farming goes ahead.
Populations in areas like the east of England, which has a large concentration of oilseed rape, are at particular risk.
Details of English Nature's report — to be submitted as key evidence when the Government decides whether to pursue the commercial growing of GM crops — come days after the most extensive trials ever suggested the technology could destroy populations of butterflies, bees and birds.
Results of the trials have hardened already widespread opposition to the technology with The Observer learning that the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), which has more than a million members, has begun exploring the prospect of legal action if GM crops are approved.
Elsewhere, campaign group Greengloves has promised to amass a 10,000-strong army of supporters prepared to risk imprisonment by ripping up GM crops if they are planted across the countryside.
Dr Brian Johnson, biotechnology expert for English Nature, said: 'These crops would seriously degrade biodiversity over a short period.
'Clearly, this would take farming in the opposite direction from the Government's stated objectives of farming less intensely and enhancing farmland bird populations.'
English Nature's views will be presented this month to the Government's Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment, whose recommendations will prove pivotal on whether GM crops should be grown commercially, a decision that will not be made by Ministers until April.
However, there are signs that Blair may be preparing to backtrack on the technology, following evidence that it will harm Britain's biodiversity.
'This is a big deal for the credibility of the Government's environmental agenda as well as a big deal for farmland birds,' said Dr Mark Avery, the RSPB's director of conservation.
The charity will mount a massive lobbying campaign aimed at MPs if GM crops are allowed to be sown commercially in the UK.
Influential opposition can also be found from Britain's biggest landowner — the National Trust — which is balloting its three million members on whether a temporary ban on GM should be introduced until environmental concerns are investigated further.
The level of antipathy will be known at its annual meeting, with sources suggesting views will echo that of the Government's official GM debate, where nine out of 10 voted against the technology.
