I believe we're seeing the start of a passive eugenics program.

Passive in the sense that there won't be forced sterilization or "euthanasia", at least not for now. This may be paranoid and premature, but I think it's worth raising the possibility. The sooner we see it the sooner we can react.

My brother just lost his job with a company that was funded by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which began under George W. Bush in 2003. Trump cut this program.

PEPFAR has provided cumulative funding for HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention, and research since its inception, making it the largest global health program focused on a single disease in history until the COVID-19 pandemic. PEPFAR is implemented by a combination of U.S. government agencies in over 50 countries and overseen by the Global AIDS Coordinator at the United States Department of State.

My brother is a Ph.D. in public health and worked for a couple decades on the African AIDS program doing research. The company received its funding through PEPFAR.

When you add up the withdrawal from the W.H.O., the freezing of the NIH, silencing of the CDC, and shuttering Medicaid offices, you begin to see a pattern. In addition, during his presidential campaign RFK, Jr. stated that he would place a hiatus on vaccination development for a few years.

He then laid out his vision for a Kennedy presidency, which would include telling the National Institutes of Health to take “a break” from studying infectious diseases, like Covid-19 and measles, and pivoting the agency to the study of chronic diseases, like diabetes and obesity. Kennedy has suggested without evidence that researchers and pharmaceutical companies are driven by profit to neglect such chronic conditions and invest in ineffective and even harmful treatments; he includes vaccines among them.

“I’m gonna say to NIH scientists, God bless you all,” Kennedy said. “Thank you for public service. We’re going to give infectious disease a break for about eight years.”

Billionaires like Trump, Musk, Thiel, etc., along with many Republicans, want to make way for their transhumanist, breakaway (and white Christian) civilization. But first they have to excise a lot of junk DNA. My guess is there will be prevention for the progenitors of the master race, but the rest of us will receive the equivalent of Ivermectin and bleach IVs.

1. No DNA is junk. All DNA has specific purpose. We just haven't figured what the "junk" DNAs purpose is.

But yes, I suspect you are correct.

8. I figured you were saying that rhetorically.

But I’ve heard that term frequently lately and it gets under my skin. It’s like saying a large chunk of life is junk.

I do agree with you that the current leadership is cutting aid programs to get rid of the vulnerable, which they consider junk humans.

3. It's basically the old-time hee-haw Economic Calvinism...

...that has always been a pernicious feature of American culture. You know: the rich are blessed, the poor are cursed, and so both deserve their station in life. We saw a variation of it during the pandemic, when assholes like MTG and Bill Maher claimed that those who came down with Covid didn't go to the gym enough, ate too many Twinkies, etc. (MTG made a YouTube video about how "the gym is my vaccine!" ).

The "transhumanism" being pushed by Eloon et al. is just the latest version of old wine in new bottles. Every few years, someone invents a new way to dress up the same old Calvinism, which serves to mystify it, keeping the rabble from noticing that the wonderful Tech-Bro transhumanist future will not be available to any of them.

We know what they think, and what they think is dog shit. These are some truly evil, sick fucks we are dealing with.

"eugenics" carries a lot of baggage and stigma.

They are authoring 2025 forms of mass extermination. It may look different but the goal is the same.

between denying a person health care and shoving them in the ovens, someone would immediately jump down my throat.
