Altering DNA (CRISPR)

The primary and most widely used method for altering DNA is CRISPR gene editing, a precise technology that functions like a molecular "find and replace" tool for the genetic code. [1, 2]

 

How CRISPR Works

 

• Guide RNA: Scientists program a short piece of RNA with the exact "address" or sequence of the target DNA they want to change.
• Cas9 Enzyme: This protein acts as molecular scissors to attach to the target site and cut through the DNA strands.
• Cellular Repair: The cell detects the broken DNA and triggers its natural repair process to fix the gap. [1, 2, 3, 4]

 

Types of DNA Repair and Modification

 

• Disruption (NHEJ): The cell mends the cut without a template, often introducing a small deletion that turns a faulty gene off.
• Insertion or Correction (HDR): Scientists supply a new DNA template alongside the scissors, allowing the cell to copy and paste a healthy sequence into the genome.
• Base Editing: A newer variation chemically changes one single DNA letter to another without cutting the double-stranded helix. [1, 2, 3, 4]

 

Other Methods

 

• Older Nucleases: Tools like Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs) and TALENs were used before CRISPR to make targeted cuts, though they are harder to design and more expensive.
• Viral Vectors: Viruses are often modified and used as delivery trucks to carry healthy genes into human cells during gene therapy. [1, 2]

On property taxes

Many have reasons for voting to abolish property taxes. One can be certain that even if one doesn't own property, a landlord will raise rent in order to pay the tax. So, it affects everyone, regardless.

Some also believe that one should not have to pay taxes if their mortgage has been paid off. If one really thinks about it, it seems like extortion, but if one allows something to happen, it will continue to occur. 

One can always believe that taxes are important for infrastructure and for many social benefits. However, quite often that money is used fraudulently and misused in wasteful ways with no benefit to citizens, but only for the bad administrators to gain wealth. Drain the widespread swamp!

Why a narcissistic person plays the victim

Narcissistic people play the victim to escape blame, control situations, and gain sympathy when their behavior is challenged. [1, 2]

Why Narcissists Play the Victim

Avoiding Accountability: Shifting into the victim role lets them deflect responsibility and dodge the consequences of their mistakes. [1]

Eliciting Sympathy: Portraying themselves as wounded or unfairly treated manipulates others into offering emotional support and defense. [1, 2]

Maintaining Control: Playing the aggrieved party reverses the power dynamic, making the actual victim feel guilty or responsible. [1, 2]

Protecting the Ego: Because they cannot handle shame or criticism, turning themselves into the injured party preserves their fragile self-image. [1, 2]

How the Behavior Appears

Blame-Shifting: They accuse others of doing the exact things they are guilty of doing.

Exaggerating Past Hardships: They use historical grievances to excuse current wrongdoing.

Flipping the Narrative: When confronted with facts, they claim they are the ones being attacked or abused. [1, 2, 3]

Recent thought on kids today

Recently, I heard someone say something with relevance to kids and the focus on history taught today. The person said, young people these days think there are only two kinds of people. There are oppressors, and those who are oppressed. Why so? They learn about Hitler. They are taught slavery. And they learn about civil rights.

I will stop here to allow everyone to ponder.

Quick thought on local governments

Many Americans don't seem to be aware that local governments are simply a vehicle for extortion of residents and for money laundering. Keep on voting for the people you don't know (said in a sarcastic tone)! Drain the widespread swamp.

Election fraud, especially in 2020!

As soon as you have media supporting one candidate it's already fraudulent, but I understand people have a right to chose mental illnesses such as TDS! Moreover, however, plenty and overwhelming evidence has emerged that a huge amount of mail-in ballots were fraudulent. Don't take my word for it, the truth is coming out.

Is England a poor country?

Recently someone said that if you remove London and the City of London from the map of England, you'd realize England's is really a poor country. I believe it's Steve Bannon who I heard say it. Even more recently, I heard Chris Williamson say something similar while interviewing Peter Sentenello on his podcast. I believe he went on and said  something like anything outside of the M25 doesn't even makes it on the news. Anyhow, I will stop here, but I don't doubt these two guys are too far from the truth.

Fifty-five years ago today, we boarded a Freedom Flight at Varadero early in the morning and landed in Miami shortly after. Freedom isn't free, it has a price!

250 was a big deal!

250 was a big deal! It wasn't just another July 4th. Unfortunately, for some the celebration became political due to TDS in many cases, instead of about celebrating the immense achievement of lasting so many years as a union. The United States lasting 250 years is a huge deal. I remember celebrating 200, and I hope I get to celebrate 300, which will be an even bigger event. My advice to many is to lighten up and snap out of it before you miss out on more major life events.

Who really put Castro in power?

Lest there be any doubt that the U.S. government — really the CFR operatives within its upper ranks — brought Castro to power, Ambassador Smith wrote a full book about what he observed entitled The Fourth Floor: An Account of the Castro Communist Revolution. He also testified in the U.S. Senate, saying that Castro was in power because of the actions of U.S. authorities. And he wrote a letter to the New York Times several years after publishing his book, stating clearly that the top levels of the State Department were the cause of Castro’s rise. 

The foregoing excerpt is extracted from an article in New American titled: U.S. Globalists Put Castro in Power and Kept Him There. It was written by Alex Newman. The article names individuals, including United States ambassadors who warned about Castro being a Kremlin asset way before 1959. I had read the article a few years ago but only decided to share it at this critical moment in time in which President Trump is saying that "Cuba is next." The article closes with the following:

Exposing the true history of Cuba’s enslavement, the betrayal of the Brigade, and the role of the CFR would go a long way toward waking up the American people.

Advice to Meloni and European so-called leaders

My advice to Meloni and other European leaders is to tune down the egos. It's hilarious how Europeans are ignorant of the fact they will be speaking Russian sooner than they think when Trump decides to exit NATO. Iran was delayed to avoid boots on the ground. Ukraine is delayed for sympathy reasons by Putin. The world status can change very quickly, if those with the real military power decide. People cracking jokes are nearsighted, and not very smart (as Trump says "low IQ").
