F. William Engdahl – Global Research April 16, 2025
This important article by F. William Engdahl was first published by GR in 2019.]
Scientists using the “second generation” of genetic manipulation technology have used gene-editing to alter the DNA of breed of cattle so that they supposedly do not grow horns. At around the same time another group of scientists claim to have injected human cells into monkeys to create chimeras, as in the ancient Greek myths of beings part lion, part snake. Earlier this year a group of Chinese researchers claimed to have deliberately gene-edited monkey clones with a mental disturbance. What few realize is that all this is taking place almost entirely without any serious health and safety regulation. Is this what mankind really needs at this juncture?
Gene-edited Hornless Cows
Scientists at the biotech company Recombinetics have filed a patent on cattle it has genetically engineered to not grow horns using gene-editing methods. They claimed the process to be safe and effective. However tests by scientists at the US Food and Drug Administration revealed that the CRISPR gene-editing process resulted in “unexpected alterations” of the genome, including “complex genomic rearrangements at or near the target site in 34 mammalian genome editing experiments.”
The FDA researchers found gene-editing errors in the genome of the animals that were being overlooked. They identified major unintended effects. The gene scissors used, known as TALENs, are often described as highly precise. However, the FDA research showed that apart from the desired gene sequences being inserted into the genome, DNA originating from genetically engineered bacteria used in the process was also inserted. Specifically, they found presence of unintended antibiotic resistance genes in the gene-edited cattle. Recombinetics reports that it is also developing a precision gene-editing breeding method to eliminate the need to castrate pigs. Unintended effects?
Human Monkey Brain?
In another recent application of the gene-editing technology, an international group of scientists working in China have used gene-editing to produce human-monkey chimeras. According to the Spanish paper, El Pais, a team of researchers led by Prof Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte from the Salk Institute in the USA have produced monkey-human chimeras. The report says that the research was conducted in China “to avoid legal issues.” That should give pause.
Belmonte’s team states that the research is aimed at solving the problem of lack of organ donors as well as organ transplant rejection. Belmonte apparently has managed to produce both pig embryos and sheep embryos which contain human cells. They took cells from an adult human and reprogrammed them to become stem cells, which can give rise to any type of cell in the body. They are then introduced into the embryo of another species, such as the monkey or sheep or pigs.
Commenting on the implications of using gene-editing to produce human-animal chimeras, Prof Robin Lovell-Badge, a biologist from London’s Francis Crick Institute admits potential problems:
“How do you restrict the contribution of the human cells just to the organ that you want to make?” he said. “If that is a pancreas or a heart or something, or kidney, then that is fine, if you manage to do that. [But] if you allow these animals to go all the way through and be born, if you have a big contribution to the central nervous system from the human cells, then that obviously becomes a concern.”
Other controversial China CRISPR gene-editing experiments have involved adding human brain genes, MCPH1, or microcephalin to monkeys. The gene-editing scientist, Bing Su, claimed, based on very small test results, that the monkeys seemed to be “smarter.” Bing Su and collaborators at the Yunnan Key Laboratory of Primate Biomedical Research exposed monkey embryos to a virus carrying the human version of microcephalin. They generated 11 monkeys, five of which survived to take part in a battery of brain measurements. The monkeys each have between two and nine copies of the human gene in their bodies. University of Colorado geneticist, James Sikela is critical:
“The use of transgenic monkeys to study human genes linked to brain evolution is a very risky road to take.”
These are only several of the more alarming recent experiments using gene-editing CRISPR. The significant problem is that there is no scientific neutral oversight as to what experiments are being done. Because CRISPR requires very little relative investment in technology, it can be widely used even by irresponsible experimenters.
CRISPR Dangers
CRISPR is defined as a “RNA-guided gene-editing platform that makes use of a bacterially-derived protein (Cas9) and a synthetic guide RNA to introduce a double strand break at a specific location within the genome.” The widespread experimenting with CRISPR-CAs9, the currently most widely used, has only been around since about 2015.
Geneticists back in the 1970’s were restricted to costly labs using highly trained scientists and strict controls. With CRISPR gene editing, the process is extraordinarily cheap and seemingly easy to use. As one critic described it,
“anyone can buy some CAS9 for a few hundred bucks, any halfway decent lab can use it to alter the DNA of anything…We might be able to wipe out entire species on a whim…”
Potentially CRISPR gene-editing technology might enable positive change as well, such as treatments for genetic diseases; altering the germline of humans, animals, and other organisms; and modifying the genes of food crops for positive traits. We don’t know at this point. Yet the degree of unbiased scientific and government oversight over use of CRISPR is appalling.
Lack of Regulatory Oversight
In 2018 European Court of Justice ruled that organisms that arise from a new technique called directed mutagenesis (gene-editing) are GMOs as defined by the EU GMO Directive. As such they should be regulated in the same strict way as GMOs produced in the EU using older techniques. The ruling was greeted as a sane, rational step to insure the health and safety of people and the planet is priority.
The interests backing CRISPR and other gene-editing, were not pleased. However, immediately the ECJ ruling was attacked as a departure from “science based decision making” and “backward looking and hostile to progress,” even though the judges carefully consulted a variety of expert scientists. The powerful GMO industry lobby has organized an effort to have the new EU Commission create “a new legal regulatory framework for these new techniques,” one that is far less restrictive we can be sure.
In the US where Monsanto and the GMO industry has succeeded in creating effectively no government regulation of GMO plants such as corn or soybeans or cotton, the biotech industry has been more successful. The USDA recently proposed excluding the new gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR from in effect any regulation. This ignores the purpose of such regulation which is to hold the health and safety of the individual and of the environment paramount to any potential marketing gains from easy regulation. It is the well-established Precautionary Principle. That principle holds that government has a social responsibility to protect the public from exposure to harm, when scientific investigation has found a plausible risk. The onus of proof is on the GMO industry not the public. Just because they call their work “biotech” does not axiomatically mean that it is good for us. That we must carefully evaluate, most especially in a field such as gene-editing with the potential to “wipe out entire species on a whim …”

As writers dare not speak openly, many truths are thinly disguised as fiction (Other examples are Huxleys ‘Brave New World’ and Orwells ‘1984’.
It’s experimentation and they do it because they’re allowed to. They blame the Nazis for conducting experiments on camp prisoners but in reality the Nazis simply permitted it because they were interested in the findings, but it was doctors and scientists who devised and conducted the experiments.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein wasn’t just a good horror story, in the days when there were no electric lights, just flickering candles and oil lamps!, but as a member of the privileged classes Mary had seen doctors and scientists experiment with the new-fangled devices that produced electricity and made the legs of dead frogs kick etc, but her book was also a warning not to let doctors experiment as they please or they will create all manner of monstrosities. They always push whatever limits they are allowed to.
Gee whiz Beav, what could go wrong?
I’d be very surprised if any of this nonsense is true, particularly since the scientism has admitted the so called CRISPR technology doesn’t actually work and never has…
Of course you can patent what the fuck you want to, it doesn’t mean it actually works..
does it?…
But of course like all of these ridiculous faux nonsenses the scientisms promote, the labcoat lickspittles expect the imbecile to believe in absurdities (as well as commit atrocities), one of the best being Monsanto prosecuting farmers because their so called terminator seeds are growing in their fields…
by the way glyphosate was actually patented initially as an anti-biotic… yes that’s right..and then it was a chelator for pipes…and no doubt pipe dreams…
It certainly seems that all the hollow mens hopes for the science have flatlined, with most of the papers scribbled for the last twenty years being to a greater or lesser degree, fake,, so, they have of course decided to to carry on regardless using the ‘post truth’ method, and hollyweird propaganda…
of course this article falls into the later, no doubt this imbecile believes in MRNA and spike proteins and charlie chan labs too…
Paging Dr. Moreau…

” From the Times of India Mar 2011
TOI spoke to associate professor in the physics department, KN Uttam, about the nuclear radiation and ways to prevent it. He said some traditional Indian practices can help in minimizing the effects of Gamma rays, the most harmful rays emitted in nuclear radiation.
“Traditional methods like keeping onions in pockets & applying a layer of Cow Dung on the outside walls of houses absorb the harmful gamma rays,” Uttam said. “Cow dung, in fact, can absorb all the three rays — alpha, beta, and gamma. Among these, alpha rays cannot penetrate the layers of cloths whereas beta falls after hitting the same, but the Gamma rays penetrate the body tissue and are the most harmful,”
If the outer walls of houses are coated with thick layers of cow dung, it will absorb the gamma rays, and in turn, people would be safe, said Uttam who has worked in the ministry of science and technology and MHRD.”

Gene edited humans and cows? Sauteed or Crisp?
Looking at Polly-ticians in the parliaments and $cientists in the laboratories of the human mental asylum earth real Scientists (if there are any left) should come up with gene edited natural rope that starts to grow naturally around the neck once a little monkey brain has decided to start a professional and most lucrative career in Pollyticks or $cience. Some might say Humanity urgently need brains as the ones rattling around in the empty sculls of modern man are just not smart enough especially when it is used to optically improve sexual organs for ones own confidence, wallet and maniac sex drive.
The human brain is simply not smart enough! Calling Bill and Elon! Please make US smart again!
