The state that I come from, Missouri, we are raising humanized pigs at the University of, uh, Missouri, pigs that are part human, and we are doing that for xenotransplantation purposes which is just something I can’t get bogged down in but it has to do with the hope of being able to transplant organs and make them more readily acceptable to our, uh, body systems.

But in any case this is happening in every nation around the world, in every state in the United States of America. Now you might be thinking, surely Tom, these have just got to be isolated news stories, right? I mean when you knew you was going to be presenting here tonight you, you went out and you looked real hard and you found two or three stories to try to prop up your thesis to make it sound like this is more expedient. Folks, to answer my own rhetorical question, I could stand before you tonight, I’m not kidding, for 10 solid hours and still would barely scratch the surface on the peer reviewed medical journal reports, peer reviewed science journal reports, line items in budgets like this year’s DARPA’s [Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency] budget that not only, last year’s budget not only had millions of dollars for creating the blueprint to edit our solder’s DNA, but it had millions of dollars for bio-design which is the creation of a new synthetic form of life that will be militarized and it will be immortal according to DARPA’s own budget. I actually photographed that and, uh, put it in one of my books. But so, uh, we could go on and on. But, so that you, very quickly, so that you know I’m not making this up, let’s just very quickly look at some of the most recent headlines. This is the front page of the GF 2045 Global Futures, uh, web site. I picked this because this happened only just a few weeks ago in New York at the Lincoln Center.
