Just when you thought you’d heard it all, along comes a story that knocks you from your horse.
This week’s addition to the “We’re not in Kansas anymore” file comes from Hong Kong, where the “Hong Kong Cleanup” initiation has found an innovative way to deal with the problem of litter in one of the most crowded cities on the planet: DNA shaming.
What on earth is DNA shaming, you ask? Simple. First, samples of litter were collected from the streets of Hong Kong including, as the South China Morning Post helpfully reports, “chewing gum, cigarette butts and a condom.” Then, the samples were sent to a laboratory and DNA of the guilty litterbugs were extracted from the items for DNA phenotyping. This process reads the tens of thousands of genetic variants from each sample and compiles an image from the predicted facial structure, eye, hair and skin color, and even the freckling of the individual to whom the DNA belongs. The result? A creepy computer-assembled image of the face of whoever dropped the garbage in the first place.
Now comes the shaming: simply take said image and plaster it on fake “Wanted” posters around Hong Kong, or, more specifically, in the precise area where the garbage was found.
Now you’re probably creeped out by this whole process (as well you should be), but the obvious question is who is behind such a ghoulish, Orwellian idea? Unsurprisingly, it’s the exact gaggle of CFR-connected globalist insiders you would expect to be pushing this future police state idea. “Hong Kong Cleanup” is an innocuous-sounding campaign for encouraging Hong Kongers to clean up their own trash, and it is co-organized by the “sustainable lifestyle magazine” Ecozine and The Nature Conservancy, a corporate environmentalist front whose board includes directors, CEOs, managers and founders of corporations like The Blackstone Group, Google, Goldman Sachs, Merck and others. The campaign itself is (supposedly) the brainchild of Ogilvy & Mather, the ad agency that had to apologize last year for running an ad featuring cartoon images of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl shot in the face by the Taliban (the ad was for mattresses).
Now to be fair the DNA shaming pictures involve a bit of guesswork (the age of the litterer is of course unknown so it has to be guessed at from the type of garbage and the area where it was found), but the idea is absolutely horrifying to anyone who understands how such technology could and doubtless will be used by tyrannical governments of the future.
litterhongkongFor those who don’t yet understand how this could be used by an out-of-control government, one only has to look behind the gloss of Obama’s recent proposal to create a “biobank” of DNA from 1 million “volunteers” to help Americans “combat disease.” Conveniently left out of PR friendly announcements like this is the fact that the FBI already has a federal DNA database of 13 million samples, a database that was found to have hundreds of serious indexing and identification errors in a recent audit (but what else should we expect from the notoriously corrupt FBI crime lab, which was found to have lied about an entire area of forensics for decades). Add that to the secret DNA databases of blood samples that have been collected from newborns for decades (samples that are owned by private companies), and you have an idea of how a police state could do more than just shaming litterbugs.

Yes, and here's a few more uses: nose pickings and urinal misses. That will be followed by transplanting our brains in robots so humans don't bother robots anymore!
