Bo is a mutant:
Researchers from the NIH and several universities have shown that variation among the coats of different dog breeds can be traced back to three genes.
Obama family dog is special, indeed

Live long and prosper? We might do neither
Biotech body snatchers. A genetically “inferior” underclass. Increased terrorist attacks. Futurists will “make it so.“

from Mark:
A new book by a futurist and adviser to three U.S. presidents portrays a horrific near future scenario filled with body snatchers, a booming “neuromarket” for false memory implants, and a self-aware internet that rebels against humanity.
The author of “The Extreme Future,” James Canton, Ph.D. (below), was a student of Alvin Toffler, according to Publisher’s Weekly. He will be speaking at the U.S. Army War College this fall, at a conference aimed not at predicting, but shaping, the future.
“The goal of futuring (exploring the future) is not to predict the future but to improve it,” reads a quote from futurist Edward Cornish, on the U.S. Army War College’s website.
For more about how futurists plan our futures, see these blurbs and broadcasts by Alan Watt.
Bloggers from the military and intel communities are talking about the book. Here is an excerpt from one dot-mil blog:
(Dr.) Canton…includes “Top Ten” lists detailing everything from Energy Trends to
Robo-Futures.
In THE EXTREME FUTURE, Dr. James Canton predicts that:
• The high cost of oil will force the West to invent new alternatives to oil and lead to depressed OPEC economies, leading to more terrorism against the West
• Radical life extension will create a two-class global society of those who live over 150 years and of those who cannot afford to
• The Internet will develop an awareness of itself and its own personality and rebel against human controls
• Human cloning will become the ultimate in identity theft
• A nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India is more likely then not
• Copy-cat products from Asia—from drugs to auto parts—will perform better then the original branded products they’re based on
• Radical life extension will reshape entire markets and society
• The new global Innovation Economy will deliver widespread prosperity and wealth
World food supply will be rooted in India's troubled soil
The Rothschild family is pushing Indian produce onto the global market. Also: How Evelyn met Lynn, at Bilderberg, with a little help from Henry.
Whose peas are these? Many of the Rothschild’s Indian farms are in areas where arsenic has poisoned much of the soil and groundwater.
Tomatoes and carrots from Rajasthan.
Zucchini and baby corn from Kashipur.
Europeans and the Japanese will soon be eating Western-variety vegetables, grown in parts of India where people get sick just from drinking the water.
The Rothschild family is preparing to make India one of the world’s largest exporters of produce, at costs likely to push native farmers in many countries off the farm.
In a fawning, almost surreal, October interview with Lynn Forester de Rothschild (see link and excerpt, below), Condé Nast Portfolio reports the Rothschild family plans to “grow and export Indian fruits and vegetables for markets in Europe and Asia.”
The Portfolio interviewer, Lloyd Grove, also relates how Lady de Rothschild first met her husband, Sir Evelyn Rothschild. Henry Kissinger, Grove writes, brought the two together at the 1998 Bilderberg meeting.
Japan and the the United States already serve as test markets for Indian produce.
India exports tens of thousands of tons of mangoes annually to Japan, as well as Britain and other European countries.
The United States in May began accepting shipments of irradiated mangoes from India–the first U.S. imports of irradiated fruit.
Also, USDA-certified organic food products–grown in India and certified by Indian agents, mind you–will soon be flowing into the U.S., according to the U.S. State Department.
The Rothschilds’ Indian produce firm, FieldFresh Foods, is leasing tens of thousands of acres throughout India, including some in areas where arsenic has poisoned the soil and groundwater. The company predicts it will be growing on 100,000 acres by 2010.
Field Fresh says its operations comply with multiple food safety standards, but enforcement in developing countries is notoriously weak.
Some Indian scientists, meanwhile, are trying to develop genetically modified rice and other vegetables that will absorb less arsenic from contaminated soil and irrigation systems.

Predictive programming?
And I thought those puppy mills were bad… This “SFX” artist creates animatronic hearts and gargoyles. I imagine this is an example of the predictive programming Alan Watt often speaks of in his interviews and audio “blurbs.”
