Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz<\/a> _ December 24, 2020<\/p>\n In a Wall Street Journal<\/i><\/a> op-ed earlier this month, John Lee Ratcliffe, the Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration, wrote that \u201cthe People\u2019s Republic of China poses the greatest threat to America today and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom world-wide since World War II. The intelligence is clear: Beijing intends to dominate the U.S. and the rest of the planet economically, militarily, and technologically.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere are no ethical boundaries to Beijing\u2019s pursuit of power,\u201d Ratcliffe wrote, adding that China is working to develop \u201csoldiers with biologically enhanced capabilities\u201d as part of a scheme to take over \u201cthe planet economically, militarily and technologically.\u201d<\/p>\n Last year,\u00a0 Elsa Kania<\/a> and Wilson VornDick<\/a> a brief in the Jamestown Foundatio<\/a>n claiming that Chinese scientists have been exploring \u201cthe potential of biotechnology on the future battlefield\u201d. Some applications could include \u201cbrain-machine interfaces\u201d. Since the potential for these technologies is still being explored, many of the possible applications go beyond what people can currently imagine.<\/p>\n One of the avenues of exploration includes the use of CRISPR (an acronym for \u201cclusters of regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats\u201d), a new technique for gene editing that has demonstrated unique potential. Chinese scientists are at the forefront of CRISPR technology, unencumbered by the moral and ethical limitations imposed on western scientists. For example, developing the use of gene-edited animals to grow human-like organs. A doctoral dissertation titled \u201cEvaluation and Research on Human Performance Enhancement Technology,\u201d published in 2016 and supported by the Central Military Commission (CMC) Science and Technology Commission envisioned CRISPR as one of three primary \u201chuman performance enhancement technologies\u201d that can be utilized to boost personnel combat effectiveness.<\/p>\n Another ethical obstacle is the use of gene modification to enhance healthy subjects. Western scientists currently refrain from this type of research however Ratcliffe\u2019s article implied that China is actively researching the possibility.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.israel365news.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz _ December 24, 2020 In a Wall Street Journal op-ed earlier this month, John Lee Ratcliffe, the Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration, wrote that \u201cthe People\u2019s Republic of China poses the greatest threat to America today and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom world-wide since World War II. … Continue reading China is developing Genetically Modified \u2018Super-Soldiers\u2019: Was this prophesied in War of Gog-Magog?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[15476,15288,12,10074,15474,15472,15473,8,15475],"class_list":["post-19273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-red-horse","tag-brain-machine-interfaces","tag-ccp","tag-china","tag-crispr","tag-elsa-kania","tag-john-lee-ratcliffe","tag-peoples-republic-of-china","tag-war","tag-wilson-vorndick"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8fAkI-50R","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19273"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19275,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19273\/revisions\/19275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setapartbytruth.org\/wordpress-watchman\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
