I remember back around 2018 when every other commercial seemed to be by this outfit and I think it was ancestry.com. Pitching it as a "great Christmas gift".

The fact that it was being sold so hard made me suspicious.

I saw what they were asking for, what people were getting in return, and remember thinking: if I were a government wanting to get a DNA database of the population, but worried about the reaction to doing it by force, why not make a shell company, do some clever marketing, give back some BS like those hearaldry outfits do, and not only will they comply, but they'll actually pay us.
I refused to do it.

And now look where we are...

I have avoided this like the plague. I don’t trust them.

Also, I hear that the results they send back as far as your ethic anestry are weird, and obviously inaccurate.

My daughter was big into this, and got me signed up. No more. I need to cancel my account with them. Thanks for the head’s up.

What do you perceive as being the risk to an individual by providing a DNA sample for use in research? How does that come back to potentially harm me? Other than simply valuing my privacy.

Just like COVID-19(84)

The foundation for the Antichrist and his New World Order
has been building and in operation for some time now.

It becomes more and more obvious every week.

Like Amazon, the PLA thanks everyone for their contribution to their genetic research into creating a genetic bio-weapon

Its not our government, its the Chinese government where the samples were sent, analyzed; and are now stored in a PLA DNA repository.

I had some blood work done yesterday at the hospital. I wonder if they sell the DNA information like 23 And Me.

For me, i had just experienced being forced to have a picture taken for company id with an employer who made a big deal of facial recognition software marketing their own data base. That was 2018 as well. No way am i giving up any more info about myself until i am room temperature.

It’s like letting the cops fingerprint your kids to fight “kidnapping”. Now they can easily track you from now on

The Chinese and many others have figured out the addictive and self-absorbed nature of the human animal and how to profit from it. Give them things to showcase themselves - TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram - and they will post anything, say anything, reveal anything all because they want to be noticed, admired, paid attention to, get likes, etc.

I have no evidence, of course, but I think those ancestry things are funded by the Chinese to get as much non-Han DNA as they can to devise a virus that kills the non-Hans that does not kill the Hans ... all in preparation for the next pandemic that the Hans have devised a vaccine for ahead of time.

Am I wrong?

They sold the data to the Chinese so they can custom engineer bioweapons to kill certain groups of people. 23 and me deserves at least 23 nooses.

That only works for the ones who want to know what their ancestry is. Everyone else will not participate. For them, you need a pandemic with lots of tests to find out “who has covid” and then you can build a bigger and better DNA database much faster. Plus there are no consent forms.

My daughter did the 23 and me shxt.

It was fairly close to what I had been told growing up but there were some oddities. She said said Dad “No wonder you’re good with money, we’re 1% Jew!”

Gotta laugh. The good news is my wife is 12% Native American... They nailed that if not underestimated.

The Dark Side is being played by a much higher authority.

Beware the Ides of March.

23 and Me:

It's the place of first light on America:

Maine (ME)
Single area code for the entire state: 207 ("light" אור)

"Maine became the nation's 23rd state on March 15, 1820, following the Missouri Compromise, which allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave-holding state and Maine as a free state."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Maine

It's also the place of First Wind.

Furthermore, the state's name is of undetermined origin, yet reads as "from wine" in Hebrew:

מיין

It's an ancient teaching about the unknown:

The wine goes in and the secret comes out,

because "wine" [יין] = 70 = "secret" [סוד]

(From wine comes the secrets.)

Obsessed with Our DNA

mDNA, mtDNA...

That's where the longest stretch of first light appears, on a strange hill named for Hezekiah, whose lone address is the Big Rock at 37 Graves. It's where those who punched their tickets may ascend and descend on two sticks at the proper season (white = open).

Can't miss the place on a terrain map. It sticks out like a sore thumb, as a textbook diagram of a mighty mitochondrion aka the "powerhouse of the cell".

It goes on with the details of the access for the 28 turbines, divided as 20 and 8 (see the sat view), 28 which spells power, the sums as the letters representing 20 and 8 [כח].

Yikes, what people do with their time.

I like to learn a little something new every day.

And now look where we are...

To paraphrase Bilaam,

"Holy smokes, you can't curse these people! They'll make mountains out of molehills!"

23andMe has a gold mine here. They have the perfect data to train an AI to predict appearance given a person’s DNA and adult picture.
