Biocapitalism is an economic model built on making new commodities from existing forms of life and has fundamentally changed how we understand the boundaries between nature/culture and human/nonhuman. Plans were hatched to create massive DNA databanks, linking the health records of entire populations with their DNA, identifying supposed disease genes,and developing personalized forms of medicine based on genetic analysis. In the media hype that surrounded the Human Genome Project, new forms of genetic determinism suffused popular culture, and our genes were held to be responsible for everything from individual human beings’ irresponsible behavior to broader social phenomena.
Biden named geneticist Eric Lander as Top Science Adviser and wants to raise the Office of Science and Technology Policy to a cabinet-level. Lander was a key leader of the Human Genome Project—the race to sequence the human genome. He will be the first biologist to run the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Sofia Smallstorm is an independent researcher who has written and presented extensively on hidden agendas and complex events since her work on 9/11. In the process of researching that topic she discovered the phenomenon of artificial clouds and geoengineering — or chemtrails. From this, she came to acknowledge the presence of a synthetic biology agenda in the activities that constitute everyday life.
In 2013 she began researching corporate government, the legal doctrine of parens patriae, Technocracy and the “smart” control grid, and the impact these are having on public freedom and public health.
Sofia’s interviews and podcasts can be found on YouTube. Topics range widely, with more recent focus on biology and health.
Sofia Smallstorm is a graduate of Brown University. Her blog can be found at www.SofiaSmallstorm.com, and her online store, which offers a range of products for what she calls ‘bioremediation,’ is AvatarProducts.com. She has a monthly newsletter available by subscription.
