CRISPR Genetic Modification Causes Unintended Chromosome Changes — Study
A study that analyzed changes to human cells undergoing CRISPR gene editing has revealed that unintended chromosomal alterations occurred during the genetic modification process.
“Here we performed a phenotypic CRISPR–Cas9 scan targeting 17,065 genes in primary human cells, revealing a ‘proximity bias’ in which CRISPR knockouts show unexpected similarities to unrelated genes on the same chromosome arm,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section. “This bias was found to be consistent across cell types, laboratories, Cas9 delivery methods and assay modalities, and the data suggest that it is caused by telomeric truncations of chromosome arms, with cell cycle and apoptotic pathways playing a mediating role.”
In other words, after the genetic modification procedure was preformed (a procedure that targeted specific genes) it was discovered that unrelated (non-target) genes on the same chromosome arm were affected as well.
CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) is a biological mechanism originally discovered in bacteria, which it uses as a defense system. It was utilized as the basis for a novel genetic modification technology by the same name. It is sometimes referred to as ‘gene scissors’ as the technology edits genes in a method often thought similar to snipping paper with scissors.
“CRISPR contains “spacers” — sequences of DNA left over from unfriendly viruses or other entities — as well as repeating sections of genetic material. Those sequences provide acquired immunity, and form the building blocks of the gene editing system or process. It creates a sort of blueprint that allows enzymes in genetic material to make changes to sequences of DNA in living cells,” The Cleveland Clinic said. “One of the best-known enzymes used for this purpose is called Cas9, which is why you’ll sometimes hear people talk about CRISPR-Cas9. You can think of the underlying mechanism of CRISPR gene editing as being similar to the way magnetic shapes are drawn to each other or the way Lego blocks fit together. The segments in CRISPR are transcribed into RNA. This RNA includes a guide sequence, which is a match to existing DNA in a person’s body.”
The researchers discussed how CRISPR technology can alter genetic structures, although work has yet been put into discovering how these changes combine holistically to affect the life form as a whole.
“…recent studies have shown that it can have unintended effects such as structural changes. However, these studies have not yet looked genome wide or across data types,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
Notably, the implication of these findings may spell danger for the GMO food market, as foods that are modified may begin to exhibit harmful characteristics not originally intended by the big agricultural and biotechnology companies.
“According to the study, major structural changes in chromosomes occur much more frequently in the genomic regions targeted by the “gene scissors” than would otherwise be the case. These results also have implications for the risk assessment of plants obtained from new genetic engineering, TestBiotech reported,” The Defender said. “According to the European Union Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, unintentional genetic changes resulting from the use of CRISPR/Cas “gene scissors” are no different from random mutations. However, a new method of data evaluation shows that this assumption is wrong. The use of CRISPR/Cas completely interrupts the double DNA strand, thus causing some of the chromosomes to be temporarily separated from the main section.”
Risks of GMO crops have been widely exposed by Alex Jones for decades.
Gay Trans Kamala Harris Rally Attendee Worried Trump Would Ban Abortion
A pair of young Americans who recently attended a Kamala Harris rally told Tenet Media’s Tayler Hanson they’re both terrified a second Donald Trump presidency would result in abortion “rights” being stripped across the country.
Asked why they’re voting for Harris, one of the duo said, “I don’t want to lose my rights. Like, I am a trans man and I’m gay and I have been pregnant and had an abortion before and I don’t want to lose that.”
“Why are you voting for Kamala Harris?”

The “gay trans man” continued, “I’m afraid of not being able to be myself anymore because, from what I’ve heard, Trump’s America doesn’t want me to look like this…”
The other person chimed in, saying, “I’ve also been pregnant and had an abortion before. I was a minor and it would have been dangerous for me to carry a baby with personal reasons and everything…”
The delusional young Democrat then claimed people won’t be able to express themselves with piercings, dyed hair and tattoos if Trump is re-elected.
Liberals are purposely lying to America’s youth in order to scare them into voting for leftist political candidates as plenty of conservatives also have alternative outward appearances, and Republicans actually promote LESS government encroachment on citizens.

Ron Paul: Tyranny in the UK – Can it Happen Here?
As the UK descends into tyranny, where just re-Tweeting something the government doesn’t like can land a person a multi-year jail sentence, Americans are wondering, “can it happen here?” After all, we have the guarantees of the First Amendment.
But while we shake our heads at UK authorities jailing people for their social media posts this past week, we should not kid ourselves. The answer is that silencing dissent can happen here and it is happening here.
Here are just three recent examples of how the “deep state” or the permanent government is conspiring to restrict political dialogue in the United States.
First is the revelation that former US Representative and former US presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has been placed under the bizarrely named “Quiet Skies” program. As reported by journalist Matt Taibbi based on revelations by TSA whistleblowers, this July Gabbard was flagged as a terror threat, and every time she travels her boarding pass is marked so that she is pulled aside for extensive screening. According to the whistleblowers, “Gabbard is unaware she has two Explosive Detection Canine Teams, one Transportation Security Specialist (explosives), one plainclothes TSA Supervisor, and three Federal Air Marshals on every flight she boards.”
As Gabbard herself revealed recently on the Laura Ingraham show, “A few weeks ago, I had the audacity to tell the truth: that Kamala Harris would essentially be a mouthpiece and puppet of the Military Industrial Complex and National Security State. The next day, July 23, they retaliated. Sadly this is what we can expect from the ‘Harris” Administration.’”
Next we have the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump. It seems every day brings a new revelation that calls into question whether the massive failure to protect the Republican presidential candidate was just an “honest mistake.” We know from 1963 what can happen to presidents who cross the “deep state” and we know from Trump’s four years in office how “former” deep state officials can conspire to undermine the presidency with lies like “Russiagate.”
Finally we have the case of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Up until the Trump assassination attempt, the Biden/Harris Administration refused to provide the independent presidential candidate with Secret Service protection. RFK, Jr. has consistently and effectively criticized not only the current administration but the “deep state” itself while out on the campaign trail. Even though there were credible threats against him on the campaign trail the Biden/Harris administration refused to budge for months. Why? Did they want to silence him?
The US government learned an important – and dangerous – lesson from Covid: all you have to do to crush political dissent is to use the weight of the government to force the “private” sector to do the censoring for you. It is only a half-step away from forbidding us from expressing our thoughts on a virus to sending us to prison for expressing other thoughts the government does not like. And maybe worse.
There will be a reaction in the UK to the brutality of the Starmer regime. We can only hope for their – and our – sake that the reaction will be a newfound determination by the people that no government should have the authority to shut them up or jail them for their political views. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, “free speech, if you can keep it.”

Trump To Sue DOJ For $100 Million Over Mar-a-Lago Raid
Former President Donald Trump is set to sue the DOJ for $100 million in damages over the 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida – arguing that it was done “clear intent to engage in political persecution.”
According to a memo obtained by Fox News, the lawsuit will claim “tortious conduct by the United States against President Trump.”
Trump and his legal team intend to sue the Justice Department for its conduct during the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, 2022, amid the federal investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records.
After the raid, Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed to investigate. Smith ultimately brought 37 felony counts against Trump, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Last month, US District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the DOJ’s case against Trump – ruling that Smith was unlawfully appointed and funded, citing the Appointments Clause in the constitution.
The notice to sue was filed by Trump attorney Daniel Epstein, and gives the DOJ 180 days from the date of receipt to respond and come to a resolution. If no agreement is made, Trump’s case will move to federal court in the Southern District of Florida.
“What President Trump is doing here is not just standing up for himself – he is standing up for all Americans who believe in the rule of law and believe that you should hold the government accountable when it wrongs you,” Epstein told Fox Business’ Lydia Hu.
According to the filing, the “tortious acts against the president are rooted in intrusion upon seclusion, malicious prosecution, and abuse of process resulting from the August 8, 2022 raid of his and his family’s home at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach Florida,” adding that decisions made by the DOJ and FBI in conducting the raid were “inconsistent with protocols requiring the consent of an investigative target, disclosure to that individual’s attorneys, and the use of the local U.S. Attorney’s Office.”
Epstein further argues that decisions made by Attorney General Merrick Garland as well as FBI Director Christopher Wray were not based on “social, economic, and political policy,” but instead were in “clear dereliction of constitutional principles, inconsistent standards as applied to” Trump and a “clear intent to engage in political persecution – not to advance good law enforcement practices.”
“Garland and Wray should have never approved a raid and subsequent indictment of President Trump because the well-established protocol with former U.S. presidents is to use non-enforcement means to obtain records of the United States,” wrote Epstein. “But notwithstanding the fact that the raid should have never occurred, Garland and Wray should have ensured their agents sought consent from President Trump, notified his lawyers, and sought cooperation.”
“Garland and Wray decided to stray from established protocol to injure President Trump,” the filing continues.
Epstein argued that the DOJ violated Florida law, intrusion upon seclusion, which is recognized as a form of invasion of privacy. Intrusion upon seclusion includes “an intentional intrusion, physically or otherwise, into the private quarters of another person” and the intrusion “must occur in a manner that a reasonable person would find highly offensive.” -Fox News
“The FBI’s demonstrated activity was inconsistent with protocols used in routine searches of an investigative target’s premises,” the filing continues, adding that Trump “had a clear expectation of privacy at Mar-a-Lago. Worse, the FBI’s conduct in the raid – where established protocol was violated – constitutes a severe and unacceptable intrusion that is highly offensive to a reasonable person.”
The filing also argues that the DOJ and special counsel’s office “brought a lawless criminal indictment,” which constitutes “malicious prosecution.”
“As such, given the Supreme Court’s immunity decision and Judge Cannon’s dismissal of the prosecution on grounds that the Special Counsel’s appointment violated the appointments clause and his office was funded through an improper appropriation, there was no constitutional basis for the search or the subsequent indictment.”
Trump is also planning to sue for punitive damages.
“For these harms to President Trump, the respondents must pay punitive damages of $100 million,” Epstein wrote, adding that there was an “abuse of process,” and that the methods used against Trump were “unconstitutional and aimed at politically persecuting the former President, which led to extensive legal costs and negative consequences for him.”
In a statement to Fox Business, Epstein said: “You have clear evidence that the FBI failed to follow protocols, and the failure to follow protocols shows that there was an improper purpose,” adding “f the government is able to say, well, we don’t like someone, we can raid their home, we can violate their privacy, we can breach protocols when we decide to prosecute them, we can use the process to advance our personal motive–not a motive of justice–if someone doesn’t stand against that in a very public way and seek to obtain and protect their rights, then the government will have a mandate to roughshod over every American.”
