Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your ears and in the ears of all the people. 8 The prophets of old who have been before me and before you prophesied both against many countries and against great kingdoms, of war and disaster and pestilence. 9As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, then that prophet shall be known as one whom the LORD has truly sent.” Jeremiah 28THE PDF LIVE NOTES FOR THE RAGGED EDGE RADIO BROADCAST WORLDWIDE By Russ Dizdar © 6Research it!During the Cold War, the big threats to national security changed little from year to year. Because threats were predictable, the U.S. government was able to mount a focused, effective response that prevented World War Three.Today, threats are harder to anticipate. From the use of jetliners in the 9-11 attacks to the appearance of improvised explosive devices in Iraq to the growing use of drones by our enemies to the proliferation of cyber threats, policymakers are continuously being confronted by unexpected challenges.The military has a catchall term for such dangers. It calls them "asymmetric threats," meaning threats that attack us where we are least prepared. It is nearly impossible to mount a focused, effective response because the threats and their perpetrators are too diverse. If you can imagine something bad, it's probably going to happen. We just don't know when or where. The Threat Of Biological Warfare Is Increasing, And The U.S. Isn't Ready (forbes.com)https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2019/08/12/...Aug 13, 2019 · Biological weapons could be built which target individuals in a specific ethnic group based on their DNA, a report by the University of Cambridge has warned.China Is Collecting DNA from World's Population to Wipe Out Some Racial Groups, Alleges Columnist Gordon ChangWell-known columnist Gordon Chang explained sinister ideas of China to create a bioweapon, deadlier than COVID-19 By Bhaswati Guha MajumderUpdated December 5, 2020 17:49 +08Recent AdvancesAs researchers continue to transition from the era of DNA sequencing into the era of DNA synthesis, it may soon become feasible to synthesize any virus whose DNA sequence is known (4). This was first demonstrated in 2001 when Dr. Eckard Wimmer re-created the poliovirus and again in 2005 when Dr. Jeffrey Taubenberger and Terrence Tumpey re-created the 1918 influenza virus (1). The progress of DNA synthesis technology will also allow for the creation of novel pathogens. According to biological warfare expert Dr. Steven Block, genetically engineered pathogens “could be made safer to handle, easier to distribute, capable of ethnic specificity, or be made to cause higher mortality rates” (2).The growing accessibility of DNA synthesis capabilities, computational power, and information means that a growing number of people will have the capacity to produce bioweapons. Scientists have been able to transform the four letters of DNA—A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine), and T (thymine)—into the ones and zeroes of binary code. This transformation makes genetic engineering a matter of electronic manipulation, which decreases the cost of the technique (4). According to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “the emerging gene synthesis industry is making genetic material more widely available […] A crude but effective terrorist weapon can be made using a small sample of any number of widely available pathogens, inexpensive equipment, and college-level chemistry and biology.” (5) Genetically Engineered Bioweapons: A New Breed of Weapons for Modern Warfare – Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of ScienceCould you make a genetically targeted weapon?
