I saw this notice on FB this morning -
Chicken production curbed
So, chicken production is to be reduced (which to me means a reduction in food) right when winter starts making it's appearance here in Canada and let's say, we have a bad harvest season this year...
I can't see this ending well.

It might be another information used by those who want to vaccine the global population like :
- "SEE? It's soooo dangerous, we cannot know who have it !!"
- "Yeah, but... it also means that it's not so deadly, no?
- "OMG, don't you think about the potential mutations? And don't you think (with some tears in the eyes
) about all the people who could easily get infected and die because of that numbers?"
The PTB are really "funny", you know. The University Hospital Center (UHC) of my little area was one of the first to have the material capacity to treat patients well before TSHTF and so welcomed a lot from other area in France, and that's what granted us to be a "red zone", by the way, not because of the "spreading" of the "virus", per se. During the lockdown, the boss said that this crisis won't change the planned dismantling of the UHC, and he has been fired to say that. You guess, it was not the time.
And now, that we're finally a "green zone" and despite all the messages on the MSM to be careful, etc., etc., and that the medical staff protest some days ago, guess what the "new boss" said ? "No, there is no reason at all to change what was planned and there will be 1000 jobs cuts in UHC anyway".
I found them really wonderful! Keep on like that, and we surely have fun!
Oh, and in a symbolic way, in the newspaper today there was : It has been discovered that one building of the UHC had some dangerous cracks and must be evacuated... are you kidding ???

I am sharing this just for our purposes. Discussing this with the people who listen to authorities has lost meaning a long time ago. Like this author says:
And there you have it. The official word on the COVID antibody test from official sources. It's yes, no, and maybe. Public health officials can SAY whatever they want to about antibody tests: a positive result means you're immune, it means you have an infection, it means you're walking on the moon eating a hot dog.
COVID Antibody Tests: Here Comes More Trickery and Fakery -- Sott.net
COVID antibody tests are going to become a focus, now that many states and nations have partially or fully lifted their lockdown restrictions. As we enter another chapter in the long book of Operation Coronavirus, authorities are trying to...www.sott.net
They tried to stop this virus, they found out that they can't. And now the vaccine is their only hope.

The Pendleton Round-Up, billed as "the most exciting rodeo in the world," has been called off this year. It's only the third time the Round-Up has been canceled since 1910. The other two times were during WWII. [Pendleton is in NE Oregon, and is the original home of the famous Pendleton shirts and other woolen goods.]

2020 Pendleton Round-Up can’t overcome coronavirus pandemic, canceled for first time since World War II
“It is with a heavy heart that the 2020 Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon will not be taking place this year,” Happy Canyon president Tanner Hawkins said.
The creeping fascism in New Zealand continues. First, anybody who breaks quarantine will be fined $4000 or jailed for 6 months. Second, anybody who crosses the border, refuses a CV1984 test and/or refuses to go into quarantine for 2 weeks will be detained for 4 weeks. These are measures the majority of the population seems quite comfortable with, all because the government allegedly stuffed up the administration of quarantine rules ...
This could be a normal person's adaptation to uncover government officials and snitches. In case someone is a snitch, tell them to wear a mask. If they refuse to comply, then don't enforce.

CRISPR/Cas9 – a specific, efficient and versatile gene-editing technology we can harness to modify, delete or correct precise regions of our DNA
Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, one of our scientific founders, co-invented CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Until then, people knew “CRISPR” only as an acronym for the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats of genetic information that some bacterial species use as part of an antiviral mechanism. Now, as a gene-editing tool, CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized biomedical research and may soon enable medical breakthroughs in a way few biological innovations have before.
CRISPR/Cas9 edits genes by precisely cutting DNA and then letting natural DNA repair processes to take over. The system consists of two parts: the Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA.
Three main categories of genetic edits can be performed with CRISPR/Cas9:
DISRUPT
If a single cut is made, a process called non-homologous end joining can result in the addition or deletion of base pairs, disrupting the original DNA sequence and causing gene inactivation
DELETE
A larger fragment of DNA can be deleted by using two guide RNAs that target separate sites. After cleavage at each site, non-homologous end joining unites the separate ends, deleting the intervening sequence
CORRECT OR INSERT
Adding a DNA template alongside the CRISPR/Cas9 machinery allows the cell to correct a gene, or even insert a new gene, using a process called homology directed repair
"If scientists can dream of a genetic manipulation, CRISPR can now make it happen"

Currently, several methods exist to deliver DNA or RNA to cells inside the body, which we can adapt to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 components. These methods fall into two broad categories: viral and non-viral. We are developing therapeutic programs based on technologies in both these areas.
Non-viral: Our efforts into non-viral delivery methods have focused on lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), which predominantly target the liver. We can encapsulate messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding Cas9 and guide RNA, and a donor DNA template if necessary, into LNPs to shuttle these components to the liver. We have entered into partnerships with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for LNP technology and CureVac for mRNA to support our liver-targeted programs
Viral: For other organ systems, including the muscle, lung and central nervous system, we have emphasized viral delivery, primarily using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors. These vectors can deliver DNA encoding for Cas9 and guide RNAs into specific tissues of the body. Through our collaboration with StrideBio, we aim to engineer novel AAV vectors that more specifically target individual tissue types and that can avoid pre-existing immunity

Oregon update: The lock-down is just starting to ease as of today for about 55% of the population. Muzzles now are required, although they haven't been for the last three months. Many have worn them, now we all must, in order to do the same things, like grocery shopping. The difference is that restaurants and bars now can open, but no muzzles are required there. Maybe muzzles now will be required for protesting. Antifa has been ahead of the curve on that one.
At least 188 have died of Covid so far (allegedly). All but four had underlying medical conditions (so perhaps they died with, not from). At least 108 deaths were associated with care centers. In 138 cases, the individuals were 70+.
It would be interesting to know how many actually died from Covid-1984. It seems disingenuous to call other conditions "underlying," as if they're incidental and not possibly primary causes. As I mentioned in an earlier post, alleged deaths amount to 0.14% of the total state population. Of course, no mention is made of collateral deaths from lock-down suicides, domestic violence, delayed medical treatment for other conditions, etc. Let's not cloud the issue with a holistic view.

New coronavirus cases in Oregon top 200 for 2nd time this week; Multnomah County sees record infections as it reopens
The Oregon Health Authority on Friday reported one new death and 204 new cases of the novel coronavirus, marking only the second time statewide cases have topped 200 in a day.
The great thing about gene therapy is that you can, in many cases, tackle the underlying cause of the disease. A lot of diseases today are just treated symptomatically, but with gene therapy, if the underlying cause is a gene defect, you can bring an intact copy of the gene into the patient or even repair the gene using genome editing tools like CRISPR-Cas.
To be able to do so, you need vehicles to deliver the gene. In most cases, although there are a number of non-viral approaches out there, the researchers use viral vectors. This makes a lot of sense because that’s what a virus does – it delivers genes to cells. We’re exploiting that feature of the virus, replacing the viral genes with the therapeutic gene, and using that viral vector to deliver the therapeutic gene to the target cells.
At the moment, there are three different viral vector types mainly used for gene-therapy approaches. One of them is the lentiviral vector, which has the advantage of integrating the gene into the cells, so it will stay there permanently. But lentiviral vectors also bear some risks because they can integrate into an unwanted position in the genome.
At the moment, lentiviral vectors are mainly used for ex-vivo therapies, in particular, because they are very good for transducing hematopoietic cells. Novartis’ Kymriah, for example, is a CAR-T therapy that uses a lentiviral vector to deliver the Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) to T-cells outside of the patient. Then the modified cells are given back to the patient.
Second, there are adenoviral vectors, which were basically used when gene therapy started more than 20 years ago. They are still being used, but mainly for vaccination approaches. For example, there are some SARS-CoV-2 vaccines being developed at the moment with adenoviral vectors.
When we talk about in vivo gene therapies – actually delivering the therapeutic gene to the target cells inside the patient – then nearly always AAVs are used. The reason is that AAVs are non-pathogenic and the virus always needs the presence of a helper virus to replicate, and this makes it a lot safer than other viral vectors.
AAV is also a very interesting virus because it comes in a lot of different serotypes – different species of AAV. These serotypes correspond to distinctive structures on the surface of the virus, and that means that different tissues can be targeted. If you want to target neural tissue, for example, you’ll use a different AAV serotype than if you target the liver or muscles.
Another advantage of the AAV is that the particles themselves are very robust and very stable. They are easy to purify and once you’ve purified them, you can store them for a very long time without losing activity. All that makes them a nearly perfect tool for gene therapy.
How to Solve the Production Challenges of AAVs for Gene Therapy
In its rather short life, the gene therapy field has been on a rollercoaster of experiences. While the initial hype was dampened by failures in clinical trials, the field is now experiencing a strong comeback. What was once seen as a hope, is now becoming a reality. But producing viral vectors...www.labiotech.eu
Well, just looking at what human beings can now do with viruses, it makes sense that higher forces would use viruses for guiding the evolution on Earth.
This is why :
1. They are so stubborn with the lockdown
2. they insist so much with masks and social distance
3. work so hard for a vaccine
Of course, there would be a huge amount of money for those who'll find a vaccine but it cannot explain all this hurry to find a vaccine.
The whole covid stuff has become crazy and it seems pretty obvious that the PTB doesn't feel comfortable with it.
Welcome to Gattaca is closer and closer...
Yes, what we learned thanks to the covid19 situation brought into light a way to bring changes in our DNA allowing blockades as enhancements. It reminds me of a session about the STO's influence on 3D life's evolution. It is clearer now.
