Supreme Court Rulings and the Transhumanist Agenda

On this Thursday, June 29, 2023 broadcast, Kim Monson welcomes constitutional scholar Rob Natelson to break down recent Supreme Court decisions that challenge the narrative of a “conservative court,” and later speaks with author Patrick Wood about how the transhumanist movement is using genetic modification technology to pursue its vision of life extension. The Mixed Reality of the Supreme Court Start listening at 17:31 – Hour 1 Rob Natelson, Senior Fellow at the Independence Institute and constitutional scholar with 50 years of legal experience, challenges the mainstream media narrative that the current Supreme Court is conservative. Natelson explains that while Justice Clarence Thomas remains a firm originalist, Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh frequently serve as swing votes, and three liberal activist justices continue to shape outcomes. Natelson analyzes Holland v. Brackeen, a decision written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett that expands Congress’s power under the Commerce Clause regarding Indian affairs. He describes the ruling as “a mess” marked by contradictions, requiring readers to turn to Justice Thomas’s dissent for legal clarity. The discussion extends to Moore v. Harper concerning state legislature power over elections and Counterman v. Colorado on First Amendment protections for threatening speech. “The reality is this is a very mixed court. There are three justices who are liberal activists, in the mold of the liberal activists who dominated the court throughout much of the 20th century. Then there is Justice Roberts, who is very often a swing vote. Justice Kavanaugh very often serves as a swing vote. There is one firm originalist on the court, and that, of course, is Justice Clarence Thomas.” Rob Natelson, Senior Fellow, Independence Institute Transhumanism and Genetic Modification Start listening at 72:51 – Hour 2 Patrick Wood, author of “The Evil Twins of Technocracy and Transhumanism” and founder of Technocracy News, reveals how the transhumanist movement has found its holy grail in genetic engineering. Wood argues that COVID-19 mRNA injections were never primarily about health but about changing the genetic function of the human body, marking a significant step toward the transhumanist goal of escaping death through genetic modification. Wood warns about gain-of-function research continuing at facilities like Colorado State University, comparing the potential dangers to the Wuhan laboratory situation. He explains that billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have invested billions in life extension companies pursuing genetic research. The transhumanist worldview, Wood notes, views death as a disease to be cured through science, rejecting traditional religious understandings of human mortality. “What happened when COVID came in and then the messenger RNA therapy injections, this was not about a health issue. This was not about making people healthier. It was about changing the genetic function of the human body.” Patrick Wood, Founder, Technocracy News
