Phoenix Journal 197 - Four Winds 10

CHAPTER 14
THE CLONING OF MAN, OR
I WONDER WHO’S KISSINGER NOW?
Well, what have we here? I’m sure it is merely the most accidental of “””coincidences”””—don’t
you think?
Sometime around Wednesday or Thursday of last week, I made the editorial decision to run, on this
week’s Front Page, Calvin Burgin’s excellent tutorial on the REAL state of our world’s genetic
engineering technology and applications of same—particularly “political” applications which
have been perpetrated right under the noses of we-the-kept-dumb public for well over 20 years
now.
Longtime readers of CONTACT and the Phoenix Journals are well aware of this subject. Oh, are
they ever. And if they make the “mistake” of trying to explain this particular subject to most of
their friends, they are also brutally aware of the generally heated and indignant controversy it
generates because, “the Earth is flat, don’t you know!!!!” Well, from some people’s perspective, I
guess that’s true. But the subject certainly pushes all kinds of emotional buttons. And rightly so.
Only that does not negate the truth of the matter.
So, I made the decision about running Calvin’s piece about the middle of last week. The interesting
matter which has just sprung up and which I call to your attention, is what has just been released,
starting over the weekend, apparently (from what I’ve been told) all over the various media sources
from CNN’s Headline News on television, to the Front Page of the Sunday February 23, 1997 Los
Angeles Times, and even to the faxed copy of the Montreal Gazette I have here in front of me, Front
Page, for Monday, February 24, 1997:
Door Opens To Human Cloning is the headline. And the article’s bold-type tease line goes on to
say: “The successful cloning of a sheep means humans could be copied—but at what cost? ‘The
genie is out of the bottle,’ one ethicist says.”
Indeed, the genie is out of the bottle! But such has been the case for quite some time. It’s merely
that we-the-people weren’t exactly told about this—probably for our peace of mind or (hear “America,
The Beautiful” playing softly in the background:) for National Security reasons!
Right. Anyway, there was obviously a need to push a button somewhere and turn on the “damage
control” machinery bigtime, right now—again, purely “””coincidentally””” with our presenting
this subject as this week’s Front Page story. Imagine that.
The public is slowly being conditioned to come to grips with this reality. Those of you who monitor
the X-Files television program on a regular basis have observed, over the past several years of its
existence, probably the most blatant “””fictional””” depictions of the facts which Calvin Burgin
has assembled for your reading “enjoyment” on this most important topic of genetic engineering—
