Didn’t anyone watch The Wrath Of Khan? Don’t we already know that trying to engineer a master race always goes wrong. Isn’t Russia kicked out of world competition? Do we even have a James T. Kirk who can defeat a superior enemy?
Gene Editing Through Crisper-Cas
We are witnessing the manipulation of DNA through eRNA as a Covid-19 vaccine. We have no idea what the long term effects are going to be.
Crisper is a gene editing technology that allows for cutting, inserting or deleting DNA in an individual. It can be used to cure diseases or potentially eliminate defects or perhaps create immunity to disease.
These are the potential upsides.
Potential Downsides
When editing DNA, if you are not ethical, one could create a six million dollar man in effect. You think you can build them bigger, faster, stronger. We have no idea what this will do to people.
Think of it, you might give someone the superior intelligence, strength and physical capabilities that can take over the world.
Biological Dominance
It is not clear how far Chinese military researchers have gone. They are, however, advocating use of the CRISPR gene-editing tool to enhance human capabilities, and the Communist Party’s Central Military Commission is “supporting research in human performance enhancement and ‘new concept’ biotechnology.”
The People’s Liberation Army has gone all-in on gene editing of humans. As leading analysts Elsa Kania and Wilson VornDick report, there are “striking parallels in themes repeated by a number of PLA scholars and scientists from influential institutions.”
All these Chinese moves are meant to obtain “biological dominance.” “There are,” as Ratcliffe noted, “no ethical boundaries to Beijing’s pursuit of power.”
It is clear that the Communist Party is thinking about more than just soldiers. A Chinese researcher is also the first — and so far only — person to gene-edit human embryos that produced live births.
He Jiankui, while at Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, used the CRISPR-Cas9 tool to remove gene CCR5 to give twin girls, born in late 2018, immunity to HIV but perhaps also to enhance intelligence. The experiment evoked the eugenics program of the Third Reich to create a “master race.”
When was the last time we heard of creating a master race? Does anyone remember what the Nazi’s tried already?
Finally, I was taught by a Chinese-American how to survive in life and the business world in China. He told me throw out the 10 commandments and you are on even ground. They will not adhere to them so you will lose (I am not suggesting that you break the 10 commandments, this is what I was told on how to survive negotiations with the Chinese).
China’s regime does not have ethics or decency, is not bound by law, and does not have a sense of restraint. However, with its rapid weaponization of biotechnology, it does have the technology to start a whole new species of genetically enhanced, goose-stepping humans.

They have proven that they are willing to cheat in the Olympics, Life, technology and so forth. The question is now how far and what will it cost the others? The CCP clearly has no respect for human beings. The Wuhan research is coming out.
You’ve been warned.
There’s a lot more to winning any ‘competition’ than just intellect.
A lot of ‘winning’ is due to deeply inner, unquantifiable stuff that few have ever really studied or understood.
An utterly materialistic nation will never, in the very end, win any competition.
they knew in the early 90s about china
the warning was sounded, but Clinton sold them the farm
It really does not make that much difference if they are genetically altered superior soldiers.
If two nuclear armed nations totally capable of destroying each other engage in conventional warfare and it is evident one side will lose the conventional warfare the losing side will then use nukes as will the winning side at which time both lose. Oddly this scenario has been played out in think tanks both left and right the two best are The Brooking Institute and Rand Corporation. When given the scenario of East West conflict with conventional weapons and one side losing it always lead to first tactical battlefield nuclear weapons that soon escalated to total nuclear warfare
That is the real reason we have not had massive conventional warfare between East and West and now China. All three are logical and wish not total destruction on themselves as they would also do to us.
Iran is crazy and not logical. Iran is a problem.
Note of history. During the Korean Conflict (It was a war damn it) we had absolute total nuclear superiority. Russia had a few bombs after 1949. We had many in excess. The Korean conflict was insane tactics. It could have been ended quickly and easily. Just drop a small 20 kiloton device on an isolated military target in either China or Russia military installation supporting North Korea whom would not have invaded least Russian and China say do this, and then say, “This Sh-t stops today and our next targets are total devastation of our enemy.” President Truman was a good man but an idiot. He sat the stage for the next 40 year of conflict between East and West.
War should be avoided if at all possible. If one’s nation is at stake it should be done in the extreme with death, destruction, horror, pain, fear with out pity. If one can do this heartlessly, ones enemy will chose not to go to war with you if they are sane.
Oddly, Winston Churchill knew this. He abhorred war as a soldier in war and wounded. He knew the necessity of the horror if one went to war.

The Germans tried this bs from 1933 to 1945 with the SS. It didn’t work out at all. The Russkies tried it too with their “New Soviet Man’’. That didn’t work out either. Both the Nazis and the USSR aren’t around anymore.
It’s not a good idea to try and out-create The Creator.
Bookmark... just wow
“It’s not a good idea to try and out-create The Creator.”
Well said. These have been my thoughts for the past few days while reading about the genetic engineering possibilities using the same technology used to create the mRNA in the CV-19 vaccine.
Can they defeat 5’5” 130lb Audie Murphy and his .30 Carbine round without some sort of armor?
That would be super.
China encourages masculinity among its male population, while this country pushes gender confusion in toddlers.
CHINA vs. JAPAN vs. USA Military Ration Comparison
Who would win a war based on the rations? US is Creamy Spinach fettuccine, the Chinese is Wiener Curry Rice, the Japanese is some sort of curried rice with tiny hot dogs
Just the fact that the Han Chinese have an average IQ of 105 gives them a huge edge.
Then factor in Hitler-style CCP “Chinese master race” brainwashing and the world has a problem.
And add to it the millions of “excess men” as a result of the one-child policy, meaning that the CCP would not mind losing a few million in battles of conquest....
If one’s nation is at stake it should be done in the extreme with death, destruction, horror, pain, fear with out pity.

That pretty much sums up the CCP attitude as to how they would conduct a war, based on how they think of and treat their own people - not counting the Uyghurs.
The prevailing attitude is: if you do not know a person, then whatever their plight may be, it is no concern of yours. A person dying by the roadside? Shrug and drive on.
Does a person work with their hands? Then that person is beneath all that do not and can be harshly treated for any or no reason. There are exceptions, but that is the general experience.
This general worthlessness of human life seems to be a recent cultural overlay of Mao’s revolution when all things Chinese were hated and destroyed.
And add to it the millions of “excess men” as a result of the one-child policy, meaning that the CCP would not mind losing a few HUNDRED million in battles of conquest....
This chit always ends badly for the perps... Master Race indeed!
He said the one thing that stood out the most was the number of 7'+ players that participated in the clinics.
China's women's volleyball team has extraordinarily tall players too..........
Genetic experimentation? I don't know but I don't think their diets are conducive to growing tall people, especially in the areas outside the major cities.........

The US ration (add hot H2O) include 2 pieces of toilet paper and a book of matches, 4 grams of creamer, 2 pieces of chewing gum, and includes like the Chinese one, a lemon lime drink, nuts and M&M snack, sliced dried cranberries, moist towlet
Chinese (self heating) includes a beef jerky chunk, a rock solid moon cake, pineapple bits, cookie, paper napkin
US wins on portion size, lime drink, main rice course, cookie (tie)
China wins on beef jerky, pineapple bits, cookie (tie), hot sauce
Final score China 62 - US 55
CHINA vs. USA Military RATION Comparison laowhy asked Steve1989 for suggestions to compare US to China. Steve sent a master box of rations for free.
