"We want nothing short of a home on this earth that we can call our own�not to be servants and slaves for other free nations. Let us capture the market of our people by producing their needs. We cannot produce our needs on the soil of another. What we must understand today is the importance of acquiring land of our own."

�"Message to the Blackman," by the Most Hon. Elijah Muhammad

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan have spent a combined 80-plus years of their lives stressing the need for Blacks in the United States as a people to "do for self" and acquire land that we can call our own or suffer the consequences.

The seriousness of our dependency on our open-enemies to feed us and the dire consequences of that condition have rarely been illustrated more clearly than in a series of articles recently published in a book titled, "Censored 2001: The 25th Anniversary Edition," by Peter Phillips and the Project Censored, which is a compilation of news stories that have been censored by the "mainstream" media over the last 25 years.

In this book, under censored story No.16, titled, "Human Genome Project Opens the Door to Ethnically Specific Bioweapons", there is a series of startling articles which document the real history of the Human Genome Project, its military application as a project for the development of bio-genetic weapons, and its historical ties to the racist Eugenics Research Project that was started in 1910 and was supported and funded by the Rockefeller and Harriman families as a forerunner to the Nazi eugenics program, and the Rockefeller-funded "Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute for the Study of Eugenics" in Germany in 1928!

When the completion of the mapping of the human genome was announced to the public in June 2000, the public relations spin was that this scientific accomplishment would usher in a new age and technology that would revolutionize the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of most, if not all, human diseases. We were given a rosy picture of a new benign technology that would be used to benefit all of humanity by improving and extending human life on our planet.

According to the authors in "Censored 2001," nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, the book claims this rosy public relations spin was a cover story produced to shield the real military and racial eugenics applications of this new technology.

In the opening paragraphs of the first article, in the section of the book which covers the Human Genome Project, the authors state: "The Human Genome Project may open the door to the development and use of genetic weapons targeted at specific ethnic groups. This project is currently being conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Energy Department, which also oversees America�s nuclear weapons arsenal. In October 1997, Dr. Wayne Nathanson, chief of the Science and Ethics Department of the Medical Society of the United Kingdom, warned the annual meeting of the Society that gene therapy might possibly be turned into gene weapons which could potentially be used to target particular genes possessed by certain groups of people. These weapons, Nathanson warned, could be delivered not only in the forms already seen in warfare such as gas and aerosol, but could also be added to water supplies, causing not only death but sterility and birth defects in targeted groups."

The authors continue: "Some scientists worry that the modified genes that corporations have spliced into fish, fowl, fruit, and vegetables have permanently altered the world�s food supply. Some may be intended to reduce populations." The authors go on to highlight a November 1970 issue of Military Review magazine that included an article titled "Ethnic Weapons" for command-level military personnel. The author of the article was Dr. Carl Larson, head of the Institute of Genetics in Lund, Sweden. The authors state: "Larson wrote of how genetic variations in races are concurrent with differences in tolerances for various substances. For instance, large segments of Southeast Asian populations display a lactose intolerance due to the absence of the enzyme lactose in the digestive system. A biological weapon could conceivably take advantage of this genetic variance and incapacitate or kill an entire population."

So that this information is understood in its proper context, it may be useful at this point to look at the historical background out of which the Human Genome Project came into existence.

The Human Genome Project is presently headquartered at the Cold Springs Harbor laboratory on Long Island, N.Y., which is the exact location of the racist Eugenics Research Office, which was developed as a precursor to the racist Nazi eugenics program, and its racist Rockefeller family-funded think-tank, the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute For The Study of Eugenics.

Political researcher Robert Lederman, in an article titled "The Human Genome Project and Eugenics," states: "The Human Genome Project, as it admits on the very first page of its website, is derived from the eugenics movement in the U.S. and Nazi Germany during the first half of the 20th Century. The Eugenics Records Office at Cold Springs Harbor, N.Y., where American eugenics started, was built by the Harriman family�the Bushes� Wall Street business partners in funding Hitler." (Reference: www.baltech.org/lederman/bush-farben)

According to Mr. Lederman: "By the start of WWII, 25 states in the U.S. had already passed eugenics laws requiring forcible sterilization, a policy which was declared constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Tens of thousands of American citizens, most of them minorities, were ordered sterilized. Adolf Hitler publicly praised the U.S. policy and copied many of its features for the Nazi system which eventually resulted in the Holocaust.

"After WWII, many top officials involved in creating and administering these Nazi policies were brought to the U.S. by our own government and placed in universities, in the military, and in scientific institutions and think-tanks where their ideas have exerted a tremendous but seldom recognized influence. The CIA, which was started right after WWII, was deeply involved in importing these Nazi officials�supposedly for the purpose of fighting communism," Mr. Lederman writes.

This program of importing Nazi scientists into the U.S. after WWII was a military project code-named, "Project Paperclip". Many of these Nazi scientists were sponsored by Rockefeller-controlled institutions and moved directly into the U.S. biological warfare program. (Reference: "Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola," by Dr. Len Horowitz.)

Both "Project Paperclip" and the early Rockefeller family-funded eugenics projects have a direct relationship to the modern Human Genome Project. In the book titled "Nazi Germany," by Klaus P. Fischer, the author states: "Among hundreds of Rockefeller funded institutes and projects in the U.S., England and Germany that have been involved in promoting Eugenics, was the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics and Human Heredity in Berlin. The head of that institute, Dr. Otmar Verschuer, was Josef Mengele�s patron, teacher and co-researcher. Another Rockefeller-sponsored doctor and researcher, Dr. Franz Kallmann, helped save Verschuer after WWII by testifying favorably about his value to science during the U.S. Government de-nazification hearings. Dr. Kallmann later created the American Society of Human Genetics, which organized the Human Genome Project."

As you can see, our research informs us that it is absolutely critical, in light of all of this Satanic madness, to heed the warnings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, to secure some land of our own, on which we can grow our own food and feed ourselves and our children.
