cdn.who.int/media/docs/def…
"The recent application of tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 to edit the human genome with the intention of
treating or avoiding disease has highlighted the need for robust oversight in this area. "
"From 18-19 March 2019, 17 out of the 18 members of the Committee, and observers from eight
organizations met in Geneva, Switzerland (Annex). The meeting was opened by Dr Tedros Adhanom

"At its first meeting, the Committee produced three recommendations..

- the Committee requested WHO to immediately start work to develop a registry
2nd recommendation:

the Committee requested and urged all those conducting, or aware of research and development relevant to its mandate, in particular genome editing of human germline cells and embryos, to engage with the Committee immediately
3rd recommendation:

- The Committee requested the Director General to enhance WHO’s capacity to share information with, and collect information from, both technical and lay audiences. 2 strategies were identified: an enhanced website; and targeted outreach to regional and
country offices.

Specifically, the Committee requested the Director General to engage WHO’s regional and country offices and urge them to canvass societal views on human genome editing and to act as a vehicle for engagement"

The meeting between members of the Process Church and Alabama Governor George Wallace occurred around 1973 in Wallace's executive office, during a period when the controversial religious group had rebranded itself as the Foundation Church of the Millennium .. Image
The group was actively scrubbing its dark, countercultural, and apocalyptic image (which previously incorporated elements of fear, Satan, and Lucifer) to adopt a wholesome, mainstream-friendly persona resembling conventional church group ..
The connection between the Process Church's early roots in Fitzrovia, London and the broader folklore surrounding the Tavistock Clinic highlights a sprawling overlap between counterculture history, psychological institutions, and the late-20th-century Satanic Panic. Image

The Dark Kitchen Loop: Absorbing the "Shadow Zones" Image
"Dark kitchens" (or Central Production Units - CPUs) are windowless, delivery-only industrial cooking facilities packed into commercial units across Park Royal. They extract human labor from the autonomous, low-telemetry, non-secular communities .. Image
Inside the windowless Central Production Units (CPUs), human tracking shifts from public oversight to proprietary corporate data. Subcontracted, zero-hour, or cash-in-hand staff are often managed by third-party agencies or dynamic shifts apps."..🤔 Image

Marie-France van Heel (Mrs. Burnham) is involved with this modern energy network because the electric vehicle charging company she directs, Be.EV, is majority-owned and funded by Octopus Energy Generation .. Image
This ownership structure embeds her firm directly into the wider Octopus corporate ecosystem, which sits at the center of the modern smart-grid infrastructure.
While Mrs. Burnham does not directly run or own Kraken, the EV chargers managed by her firm represent the exact type of high-demand, decentralized grid nodes that Octopus's Kraken platform is built to orchestrate and optimize in real time.

GG : "The 2019 MoD initiative to recruit specialists for cognitive warfare aligns with GCHQ's move to Manchester by signaling a shift toward integrating behavioral science into military and intelligence operations. ..
While GCHQ historically used Palantir software to manage mass intelligence data, the timeline of 2019 serves as a critical bridge between the Ministry of Defence behavioral science expansion, the creation of the National Cyber Force (NCF), and the data-driven response to COVID" Image
