Sex Science 3030: Genetic Warfare and Fascist Breeders

Posted Nov 21, 2007 7 comments

Mutant BabyMost of my favorite stories are probably lies.  I might have even fallen for a few of my own.  One of them goes like this: the really hardcore Zionists in the Isreali military were actively pursuing a bioweapons program that would target the Arabic genome.  They were pouring money into research, only to find out that their own genome was so closely related that any weapon they developed would target them, as well.  Of course, Isreal really does have active bioweapons programs, just like the United States, Britain, China, Russia, so although the story is impossible to verify, it’s still pretty catchy.  Like the rumor about how George W. Bush can actually read—you really want to believe it, you know?

Or the one about Henry Kissinger giving a speech on controlling the world through a staged alien invasion at Bilderberg—it’s tempting, and thus probably bullshit. Did you know that cold water actually boils faster than hot water?  Neither did I.

I Read the News Today, Oh Fuck

I still want to broadcast optimism and unconditional love, and good sex, too.  Happy sex, loving sex, goofy sex.  Yes.

But I’m not advocating looking away from all the exceptionally unsexy stuff that is currently afoot on spaceship Earth.  As a reminder to myself more than my audience, Sex Science 3030 is an ongoing exploration of where human evolution is headed.  Here is a very dark and signifigant clue:

By firing radioactive ammunition, the U.S., U.K., and Israel may have triggered a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East that, over time, will prove deadlier than the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan.

So much ammunition containing depleted uranium(DU) has been fired, asserts nuclear authority Leuren Moret, “The genetic future of the Iraqi people for the most part, is destroyed.”

“More than ten times the amount of radiation released during atmospheric testing (of nuclear bombs) has been released from depleted uranium weaponry since 1991,” Moret writes, including radioactive ammunition fired by Israeli troops in Palestine.

Moret is an independent U.S. scientist formerly employed for five years at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and also at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, both of California.

Adds Arthur Bernklau, of Veterans For Constitutional Law, “The long-term effect of DU is a virtual death sentence. Iraq is a toxic wasteland. Anyone who is there stands a good chance of coming down with cancer and leukemia. In Iraq, the birth rate of mutations is totally out of control.”

No Mutants signThis baffles me on a lot of levels, but let’s begin with the logical, and the pragmatic. 

Even if you harbor a total and psychotic hatred of all humans that live in the Middle East—and many monkeys have that precise brain infection—you would still have to agree that this kind of warfare is insane and stupid.  Spaceship Earth is not a hippie fucking metaphor, if you will permit me some cussin’.  This really is the only place in the galaxy that human beings can survive unassisted.  Or at least until me, Louis Mackey and Adam Kadmon eat some acid and sit down with a bunch of graph paper.  The effects of radiation are destructive to the entire planet’s life system.  We’re all on a single spherical object, we all ultimately breathe the same air and process the same water in the course of time. 

There’s always skeptics, of course.  Doubters would point out that the effects of radiation and toxic pollution are slight and over a human being’s lifetime, they won’t add up to much.  Well, that’s true.  That’s partially because they also measurably reduce human lifespan, so yes, that would logically dimish the “total effects over time.” See, I might get pretty damn toasted, but I still believe in clarity.  Doubters are missing a larger point with their jackass argument, though: the human race will continue to exist after we are dead. Think about your grandkids, or better yet, let’s think about 3030. 

How much of this planet will be livable by current human standards?  Will our current human standards apply?  If the ambient levels of toxins increases on a gradual enough curve, will humans simply develop an immunity?  Is it signifigant that most of the major “conquests” that white people supposedly accomplished were actually achieved by accident, when we brought over strange new diseases?  Is it signifigant that we didn’t have the same problem other races did?  In other words, are white people the cockroaches of the human species?

    How does it feel to be a cockaroach, Mr. Jones?

    Pretty much par for the course.  You?

    I’m not white; I’m actually a descendant of the conquered peoples phased out by viruses.

    But I don’t hold anything against you folks. Why should I?

    Seriously though, why fire bullets of radioactive substances? Does lead not efficiently kill people anymore or did we grow immune to that? or is there some global conspiracy to wipe out all of mankind?

    Bill Hicks had it right, my man...how bout we try to spend those trillions of dollars that we waste on weapons defense systems and nuclear weapons and try to end poverty or something?

    AND! I just realized if all these DUs are being shot in Iraq and anyone who stands there is bound to have cancer...does that mean the troops coming back home are going to be fucked over even more? Despite all the post-war trauma, they have cancer too? And we wonder why no one enlists and why some of the chaps back then burned their draft cards.

    Something needs to change Mr. Jones. I think I am going to hack the polls and make YOU President. *laughs*

    Cold water out of the tap does not boil faster than hot water out of the tap. However, water that is boiled and allowed to cool will re-boil faster than hot water out of the tap. See http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_101c.html

    ^^Leave another comment if and when you get the joke.

    Screw Koch for linking to a website that attempts to dispels myths about boiling water we are accustomed to since childhood.

    And so forth.

    Not sure I get the jokes either, but per 3. above…

    “… Seriously though, why fire bullets of radioactive substances? Does lead not efficiently kill people anymore or did we grow immune to that? or is there some global conspiracy to wipe out all of mankind? …”

    Global genocide plans aside, it’s the density (depleted uranium versus lead), isn’t it?  Higher mass => higher kinetic energy for a given projectile volume and velocity.  Dark side is: there is a bunch of this stuff laying around from the nuclear industry that no one knows what to do with (disposal costs are huge).  Why not take a liability and weaponize it, then sell it to the taxpayer instead of paying to bury it at Yucca Mountain?  The only other thing I know of it’s used for is another density-sensitive application: counterbalance weights for aircraft flaps.  Darkest side: Selective slow-burn genocide.  I’m not counting this one out…
