THE RETURN OF HYBRID
HUMANS
By Tom Horn & Cris Putnam
On November 28th, 2012, during the third season of
“Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura” the TruTV program looked into
“human-animal hybrid experiments that supposedly have gone beyond the Petri dish
with rumors that a real-life ‘Planet of the Apes’ is being created.” [i]
The
producers had contacted one of the authors of the upcoming book Exo-Vaticana (Tom) late in 2011 with a
request for help. They wanted to know whether scientists had secretly crossed
the Rubicon with regard to human-animal genetic experiments. Though Tom spent
numerous hours as a consultant providing documentation and expert witnesses, he
turned down repeated requests to be part of Season 3: Episode 4 “Manimal,”
described on Ventura’s website this way: “Science has made major breakthroughs
in drug research and transplant technology by experimenting on ‘chimeras’–
human/animal embryo hybrids. But these seemingly noble goals may be covering up
a much more nefarious purpose – to create half human, half ape super soldiers,
paving the way for a real life Planet of the Apes showdown.” (The producers
actually offered on three separate occasions to fly Tom to set locations in the
United States to meet with Jesse Ventura and the film crew, but he turned them
down for reasons that will be revealed later. Conversely, though Tom declined
their repeated invitation to be on the show, he did set them up with Professor
William B. Hurlbut, Consulting Professor for the Department of Neurology and
Neurological Sciences at Stanford University Medical Center and a member of the
U.S. President’s Council on Bioethics who will be featured with both of the
authors of Exo-Vaticana and over a dozen experts in an upcoming documentary
expose on Transhumanism, tentatively scheduled for release in 2013). Among the
scores of research papers, DARPA budget line items, suspect locations where
human-animal experimentation ethics may have passed the curtain of
acceptability, and media reports that Tom forwarded to the producers was a
Reuters news article dated November 9, 2009, titled “Scientists Want Debate on
Animals with Human Genes,” which hinted at just how far scientists have come and
how far they intend to go with human and animal hybridization. The news piece
started out, “A mouse that can speak? A monkey with Down’s Syndrome? Dogs with
human hands or feet? British scientists want to know if such experiments are
acceptable,” [ii]
then continued with revelations that scientists
inside Britain were comfortable now with up to 50/50 animal-human integration.
The article implied that not all the research currently under design is kept at
the embryonic level, and that fully mature monstrosities (like the creature in
the 2010 movie Splice) are quietly
under study.

It didn’t
take long to surmise if the Reuters article was simply speculating or if indeed
there were scientists already experimenting with human-animal creations beyond
the embryonic stage. In July, 2011, Britain’s Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS)
admitted in a 148 page report how such science is advancing so quickly and being
conducted in so many laboratories around the world without appropriate oversight
that an international regulatory commission is urgently needed to oversee the
creation of these part-human part-animal part-synthetic chimeras. Interestingly,
the AMS did not call for a prohibition of the science, but rather an
international supervisory body under which the science can fully and officially
proceed. In the précis of their analysis they considered “research that involves
the introduction of human DNA sequence into animals, or the mixing of human and
animal cells or tissues, to create entities we refer to as ‘animals
containing human material’” (ACHM). [iii]
They then confessed: “Such approaches are
long-established, and thousands of different ACHM have been used in biomedical
research, yet they have received relatively little public discussion.” [iv] What type beings did Britain’s leading scientists know of or suspect
as now secretly under study? From the summary of their paper we find:
- Extensive modification of the
brain of an animal, by implantation of human derived cells, which might result
in altered cognitive capacity approaching human ‘consciousness’ or ‘sentience’
or ‘humanlike’ behavioural capabilities.
- Situations where functional
human gametes (eggs, sperm) might develop from precursor cell-types in an
animal; and where fertilisation between human and animal gametes might then
occur [yes folks, we are talking here about animals that can conceive from human
sperm and give birth to human-animals].
- Cellular or genetic modifications which could result in animals with
aspects of humanlike appearance (skin type, limb or facial structure) or
characteristics, such as speech [in other words, Nephilim]. [v]
Only one day after the Academy
of Medical Sciences circulated this report, the popular UK Mail Online published
a story detailing how in just one instance alone (of potentially tens of
thousands):
Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid
embryos in British laboratories. The hybrids have been produced secretively over
the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range
of diseases. The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists
warned of a nightmare ‘Planet of the Apes’ scenario in which work on
human-animal creations goes too far. [vi]
While such chimeras are supposedly destroyed at the embryonic
level, experts involved in the field who were interviewed by Reuters admitted
“some scientists in some places want to push boundaries.” [vii]
In other words, there are most likely Splice-like
creatures in laboratory settings now, locations that these scientists have left
unmentioned. Martin Bobrow, professor of medical genetics at Cambridge
University hinted why this is the case: “There is a whole raft of new scientific
techniques that will make it not only easier but also more important to be able to do these cross-species
experiments” [emphasis added]. [viii] One place where researchers may have already considered this
research to be so “important” that it justifies pushing those “boundaries” the
British scientists alluded to, is the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at
Emory University in Georgia (originally located in Orange Park, Florida). It is
one of eight national primate research centers funded by the National Institutes
of Health, both of which have shown interest in combining animal and human
genetics to create a new species. The Discovery Channel on March 27, 1998 (in an
episode of Unsolved History) discussed a report by Dr. Gordon Gallup, a
psychologist from the University at Albany, on the Yerkes National Primate
Research Center in which he confessed “a human-chimp hybrid was successfully
engendered and born [at the center] but was destroyed by the scientists soon
after.” [ix] This should come as no surprise, as Emory’s professors including
Rabbi Michael Broyde have argued very recently that Jewish law would support
animalized humans so long as the technology produces superior people. In an
October 7, 2011 article on the University’s website, Broyde says:
Genetic engineering (GE), in which the traits of different
individuals, or animals, are combined, already has resulted in amazing
combinations... Jewish law would support similar intentional human-human
chimerism, in which the embryonic material of two fetuses is mixed, or
human-animal chimerism, in which the cells of a human are mixed with cells of
another mammal…. processes and technologies that result in healthy, or
healthier, children are intrinsically good and should be embraced, not feared.
[x]
Professor Broyde is correct in stating that genetically
altering “the traits of different individuals… has resulted in amazing
combinations.” In fact, the first known genetically altered humans were
born over a decade ago as a result of an experimental program at the Institute
for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey. An article
at that time explained part of the research, saying, “The babies were born to
women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted
into their eggs before they were fertilized in an attempt to enable them to
conceive. Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year-old children confirm that
they have inherited DNA from three adults—two women and one man.” [xi] Concerning these experiments, Dr. Joseph Mercola points out
something very important:
Today, these children are in
their early teens, and while the original study claims that this was “the first
case of human germline genetic modification resulting in normal healthy
children,” later reports put such claims of absolute success in dispute [meaning
not all the genetically engineered kids were necessarily healthy]. Still, back
in 2001, the authors seemed to think they had it all under control, stating:
“These are the
first reported cases of germline mtDNA genetic modification which have led to
the inheritance of two mtDNA populations in the children resulting from
ooplasmic transplantation. These mtDNA fingerprints demonstrate that the
transferred mitochondria can be replicated and maintained in the offspring,
therefore being a genetic modification without potentially altering
mitochondrial function.”
Dr. Mercola continues: “It’s relevant to understand that these
children have inherited extra genes—that of two women and one man—and will be
able to pass this extra set of genetic traits to their own offspring. One of the
most shocking considerations here is that this was done—repeatedly—even though
no one knows what the ramifications of having the genetic traits of three
parents might be for the individual, or for their subsequent offspring. Based on
what I’ve learned about the genetic engineering of plants, I’m inclined to say
the ramifications could potentially be vast, dire, and completely unexpected.”
[xii]
For those inclined to believe the astonishing report above was
an isolated incident, British scientists repeated the same experiments in 2008,
and in 2012 the Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) conducted similar
research aimed at producing genetically engineered super babies. [xiii]
Yet regardless how many times this and other
forms of human genetic tinkering have been secretly conducted outside public or
congressional review (historical precedence suggests many, many times), it is
important to understand how germline genetic engineering as was used in this one
example where thirty genetically modified children were created reflects the
very modus operandi that fallen angels used with Nephilim—to introduce heritable
modifications to the human genotype that 
give birth
literally worldwide to changes in the gene pool through natural propagation. Dr.
Mercola’s concerns are thus highly appropriate in that current GE models on
humans carry the same potential as when “all flesh” was corrupted in the Old
Testament and had to be destroyed by God. As a result, germline engineering is
considered by some conservative bioethicists to be the most dangerous of
human-enhancement technology, as it has the power to truly reassemble the very
nature of humanity into posthuman, altering an embryo’s every cell and leading
to transferable modifications extending to all succeeding generations. Debate
over germline engineering is therefore most critical, because as changes to
“downline” genetic offspring are set in motion, the genotype and phenotype
(nature, physical makeup, and behavior) of mankind will be altered with no hope
of reversal, thereby permanently reshaping humanity’s future. In spite of that,
according to “ethicists” like Oxford University Professor Julian Savulescu, not
only do we have “a moral obligation” to engineer such people, but embryos that
do not meet certain genetic improvements in the future should not be allowed to
live. [xiv] Dr. Richard Seed, a physicist in Chicago went further, warning
anybody that has plans of standing in the way of this dream that they had better
rethink their oposition: “We are going to become Gods, period. If you don’t like
it, get off. You don’t have to contribute, you don’t have to participate, but if
you are going to interfere with me becoming a God, you’re going to have trouble.
There’ll be warfare.” [xv]
Professors Seed and Savulescu are not alone in
their strong beliefs. Dr. Gregory Stock, a respected proponent of germline
technology argues that man not only has a moral responsibility to “improve” the
human genotype, but powerful new technology now at our disposal for transcending
existing biological limitations is making the schemes of transhumanists
inevitable if not imminent. “We have spent billions to unravel our biology, not
out of idle curiosity, but in the hope of bettering our lives. We are not about
to turn away from this,” he says. Elsewhere, Stock does admit, however, that
this could lead to “clusters of genetically enhanced superhumans who will
dominate if not enslave us.” [xvi]

Thus from the “Human-Ape Army” plans of
Ilya Ivanov under Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin [xvii]
to the early part of the twentieth century where
Adolf Hitler instructed Josef Mengele to perform horrific experiments on live
human beings in concentration camps to test their genetic theories, to the U.S.
where up until the 1970s more than sixty thousand Americans were sterilized
after being deemed of inferior genetic stock, the dream of one day advancing the
next step in human evolution through engineering homo-superior has always had
its champions. The difference until lately has been the Frankensteinian
visionaries lacked biotechnological skills and the public’s will to enable
“large-scale genetic and neurological engineering of ourselves.” [xviii] Today, that has changed, the technology has arrived, and the will to
birth a new form of man has at least entered its fledgling state if not secretly
advanced altogether. Even the recent Olympics underscored this science, pointing
out the specter of clandestinely modified humans. Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen’s
superhuman-like performance led John Leonard, the director of
the World Swimming Coaches Association, to describe the 16-year-old’s
world-setting feat as ‘suspicious’, ‘disturbing’ and ‘unbelievable’. Authorities
who tested Ye Shiwen for drug abuse should have also checked to see ‘if there is
something unusual going on in terms of genetic manipulation,’ he said.
[xix]
Dr Ted Friedmann, chair of the genetics panel of
the World Anti-Doping Agency, agreed, saying he ‘would not be surprised at all’
if genetic enhancements were not now being secretly used on humans. [xx]
In other words, Aldous Huxley’s
dystopian ‘Brave New World’ is already slipping in under most of the public’s
radar. Human pre-natal diagnosis, screening foetal genomes, and designer
children were just the first cracks in the dam holding back incremental changes
due the human genetic reservoir this century, and experts are now admitting it.
This includes the 
Academy of Medical Sciences
mentioned earlier, the same astute science body that more recently joined the
British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society to
produce a narrower joint study in 2012 titled: “Human enhancement and the future
of work” wherein they documented the alarming trend aimed at augmenting humans
both cognitively and physically. In this new study, the collaborative team
characterized serious concerns over the burgeoning “hybrid age” as having
already started and in which the arrival of a new form of man is upon the
horizon. What new breeds of hominid do they foresee? An example from page 26 of
their work highlights how people could be engineered to have serpentine qualities:

Participants discussed how these kinds of techniques may in
the future aid research into the extension of the range of human vision to
include additional wavelengths. Examples exist in animals, such as snakes that
can detect infrared wavelengths, which might provide a source of research for
developing approaches that can be used in humans. Potential applications could
be envisaged in the military, but also in other employment, from night watchmen,
safety inspectors, gamekeepers, etc, including the possibility of enhanced
vision at night. [xxi]
To assure tomorrow’s snake people not only see in the dark but
are appropriately plugged into the end-times grid they will serve, the looming
reptilian-humans will also have Borg-like “physical and digital enhancements
such as cybernetic implants and advanced machine-interfacing technologies”
according to the study. [xxii]
Whenever these authors speak on the subject of transhumanism
and the looming “human enhancement” era, people are surprised to learn the many
ways in which the United States government has committed taxpayer money to
institutions such as the Case Law School (Cleveland, Ohio) for developing the
actual guidelines that will be used for setting government and public policy
around the next step in human evolution through genetic alteration. Maxwell
Mehlman, the professor of bioethics at the Case School of Medicine, received
nearly a million dollars not long ago to lead a team of law professors,
physicians, and bioethicists over a two-year project “to develop standards for
tests on human subjects in research that involves the use of genetic
technologies to enhance ‘normal’ individuals.”[xxiii] Following the initial study, Mehlman began traveling the United
States offering two university lectures: “Directed Evolution: Public Policy and
Human Enhancement” and “Transhumanism and the Future of Democracy.” These talks
are designed to inform and persuade college students on the need for society to
comprehend how emerging fields of science have already set in motion what some
are calling “the Hybrid Age,” a time when what it means to be human will be
forever changed.
It’s revealing that many of these technocrats admit being
influenced by the works of men like Friedrich Nietzsche (from whom the phrase
“God is dead” derives) and Goethe, the author of Faust. Nietzsche was the originator of
the übermensch or “Overman” that Adolf
Hitler dreamed of engineering, and the “entity” that man according to Nietzsche
will eventually evolve into. Like the ancient Watchers before them,
transhumanists dream of giving life to Nietzsche’s Übermensch by remanufacturing
men with animals, plants, and other synthetic life-forms through, among other
things, the use of recombinant dna
technology, germline engineering, and transgenics, in which the genetic
structure of one species is altered by the transfer of genes from another. While
in the United States, George W. Bush once called for legislation to
“prohibit…creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human
embryos,” [xxiv] the prospect of animalized humans “is a subject of serious
discussion in certain scientific circles,” writes senior counsel for the
Alliance Defense Fund, Joseph Infranco. “We are well beyond the science fiction
of H. G. Wells’ tormented hybrids in the
Island of Doctor Moreau; we are in a time where scientists are seriously
contemplating the creation of human-animal hybrids.”[xxv] The former chairman of the
President’s Council on Bioethics, Leon Kass, may have said it best in the
introduction to his book, Life, Liberty
and the Defense of Dignity: The Challenges of Bioethics:
Human nature
itself lies on the operating table, ready for alteration, for eugenic and
psychic “enhancement,” for wholesale redesign. In leading laboratories, academic
and industrial, new creators are confidently amassing their powers and quietly
honing their skills, while on the street their evangelists [transhumanists] are
zealously prophesying a posthuman future. For anyone who cares about preserving
our humanity, the time has come for paying attention.[xxvi]
Even so, from this part forward
in this series, things start getting really
interesting.

"them"?
