DEFTOS: Yes. ( I use the word ‘might have” for people are still good ‘bullshitters’ at times—I ought to know, ha, ha! - Because I think that just generally hearing that, that’s rather disturbing. My guests are Kevin Keenan. So if I patent something in the United States, it has no impact at all on what is done outside in the rest of the world. That process, from the time I file a patent application, which itself is not inexpensive, the average patent application per country can cost $100,000.00 to obtain. The ownership of genes in my opinion is irrelevant, what matters is that the whole human race is going to be pissed off BIG TIME, and if anything is going to start an uprising, this will. And at the end of my patent life, my rights are over and it becomes in the public domain and I have taught everyone else how to do what I once did. This is not something they created, it’s something they found, that we all have. Either they don’t intend on killing most of us off or they are aware of other trading partners in the galaxy or may even intend to trade with the old alien masters but on the Breakaway Civilization’s new profitable terms.

Cancer patients and the ACLU mounted the suit, saying that the patents stifle research and limit their treatment options. Incognito made a good point– why this insatiable lust for massive amounts of minerals if they intend to kill most of us off? If the drug company that developed that didn’t have the proper incentives to put that drug on the market, that might not be available. I don’t claim to be no consciousness ‘expert’ like those with PHDs in Transpersonal Psychology. The Human Genome Project created a map to the sequence of every gene in the human body and has had a dramatic effect on the ability to get genes to any particular sequence. You don't necessarily end up with a matching pair. I think that even referring to owning the genome is a little creepy because a patent right is not a possessory right. I think that most people who come here are in agreement that at some time in the past a high ancient civilization manufactured the human race, the purpose is irrelevant.
