To get an inkling of the abuse possible with DNA profiling of the kind being considered in India, take a look at a public health initiative called “Hong-Kong Clean Up.”
The South China Morning Post has this:
The Face of Litter campaign was launched on Global Earth Day last month for the Hong Kong Cleanup Initiative, organised by online magazine Ecozine and the Nature Conservancy. It was aimed at raising awareness of the extent of littering in the city by pinpointing those responsible and encouraging people to change their behaviour.”
That should ring a bell just there.
“Earth Day” is a holiday central to the ecological movement and, not coincidentally, it is celebrated on April 22, which is the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, the blood-drenched architect of the communist revolution in Russia in 1917.
A number of people have spotted this coincidence as further proof of the underlying communistic agenda of environmentalism.
Population control,if not depopulation, is its real goal.
Virginia-based Nature Conservancy is a corporate “do-gooder” that I’ve dealt with before.
You can read about its shenanigans in this excellent series published in the Washington Post.
Nature Conservancy has a long history with Goldman Sachs, which just supplied this “non-profit” with a CEO for a mere $700,000.
Nature Conservancy is in the business of monetizing (i.e. putting a financial figure on) environmental efforts, through such mechanisms as “cap and trade” and the “carbon exchange,” both regarded as useless rackets by grass-roots activists.
So what did “Hong-Kong Clean Up” do with the litter it picked up?
It used DNA from the litter to reconstruct the faces of the litterbugs and then posted the faces publicly to shame them.
The firm behind this DNA scheme is PR giant Ogilvy & Mather and the lab tests were done in the US by Parabon Labs.
Ogilvy & Mather has a history of complicity in the US Government’s propaganda efforts, including the War on Terror, the Drug War, and so-called “Greenwashing” – repackaging companies with bad environmental practices as good guys.
Why people resident in Hong-Kong should have their DNA fingered by Americans is anybody’s guess.
Reed Collins, the Ogilvy chief creative officer who led the campaign, says 27 facial composites were created from a combination of 24 DNA samples taken from litter and three controlled samples donated by volunteers.
The faces were used to create “wanted posters” and digital banners, which were displayed in high-traffic areas, including 10 MTR stations and at “the scene of the crime”.
“Because age is impossible to determine through DNA alone, but still integral in creating an accurate portrait, DNA data has been combined with other factors, such as demographics based on the type of litter and where it was collected to determine the approximate age of the litterer,” Collins says.”
Christensen says that although DNA alone can only produce a high probability of what someone looks like, the purpose of the campaign was not to point fingers at specific individuals.”
Despite Ogilvy & Mather’s disingenuous disclaimers, this is on so many levels outrageous.
It breaches privacy in the grossest fashion.
It has endless potential for abuse –
Identity theft
Falsification of evidence
Framing innocents
Blackmail
Refusal of insurance, housing, or other services
Racial and genetic profiling
Targeting for abortion/contraception advertising
Targeting for drug-testing
Targeting for drugs and porn advertising
Targeting for bio-weapons and depopulation programs.
If you think that’s over-reaction, consider the centrality of population control and eugenics in the thinking of every major thinker in the modern leftist pantheon.
Margaret Sanger, Bertrand Russell, Havelock Ellis, and dozens of other influential leftist thinkers, were all enamored of eugenics, population control, and the elimination of undesirables.
The question is not IF DNA profiling will be abused. The question is only WHEN.
