Popular DNA testing company admits to sharing data

I'll add this one bit of interesting fact here... We in the USA drink more fluoridated water than the rest of the developed nations combined. Studies have shown that there is absolutely no difference in tooth decay between those who drink fluoridated water and those who do not while using toothpaste.

There is however one little fact... Fluoridated water has shown to "calcify" the pineal gland... What's the big deal you say? Well, it's only that the pineal gland while being the size of only a grain of rice, this tiny gland plays an essential role in how we sleep, perform, make decisions, and perceive reality. As well as the fact that a calcified pineal gland has shown to decrease empathy towards others as well as a host of other side effects such as decreased production of melatonin and early puberty in females. Take whatever you want out of that but a zombified, apathetic crowd sure lends itself to all kinds of control.

It is not a secret that the tech companies are sharing data with third parties including the government.

The question I have is What exactly have we done so wrong to be treated like that? Better yet, where does this all end, with a micro-chip being inplanted in every adult and born child so we can be cataloged, analyzed and tracked every minute of our lives? At some point there should be a serious discussion taking place where the line is drawn lest we are willing to completely submit ourselves to full scrutiny and mind control.

Apathy
Naivety

Lack of knowledge of history regarding the will and desire of small groups of people to control and regulate the lives of the masses.

Freedom of action, speech and ultimately thought has been rare through history. The founding fathers of the USA doubted that the limits that they placed upon the powers of government would or could last more than one generation.

The Founding Fathers wanted a "republic" not "democracy". "True democracy is the tyranny of the majority. True democracy is mob rule." That's what the Forefathers were thinking.

U.S. was not founded as a democracy. Leaving out all those who originally were unable to vote (slaves, women, men without property in many states), the founders created a republic. A republic is a system in which voters do not govern directly, but select representatives to speak for them.

The Founding Fathers Never Intended To Create A Direct Democracy. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/georg..._13051196.html

Reminds me of the X-Files episode, Paper Clip, from season 3 in which Mulder discovered an underground facility in West Virginia that had medical records and tissue samples of thousands of newborn babies.

I remember that episode well. As the hands of time move forward we sure do see that Hollywood fiction does not remain fiction...
