THE X-FILES: Questions About DNA Tampering

EXCERPTS FROM THE X-FILES: SEASON 10 - EPISODE 6 - "MY STRUGGLE II" sounds more and more like reality and less and less like "science fiction"

TRANSCRIPT:
AGENT SCULLY: Tad O'Malley has been making claims.

FBI ASST. DIRECTOR WALTER SKINNER: Claims about what?

AGENT SCULLY: You and everyone you know has a piece of DNA in your genome, put there without your knowing it.

AGENT EINSTEIN: Put there by whom?

AGENT SCULLY: Well, that's the question of the day.

AGENT EINSTEIN: This is an internet lunatic. You're not saying you believe him.

FBI ASST. DIRECTOR WALTER SKINNER: Hold on, Agent Einstein. You're talking to a scientist.

AGENT EINSTEIN: Forgive me, Assistant Director. It may sound insensitive, but the suggestion is pure science fiction.

AGENT SCULLY: What I'm saying, Agent Einstein, is that the facts as I understand them cannot be discounted out of hand.

AGENT EINSTEIN: No one has the right or the ability to tamper with your DNA.

AGENT SCULLY: Unless we gave them that ability.

---------------

AGENT EINSTEIN: When you say they're tampering with our DNA, that they're able to shut down our immune systems by the addition of something to our DNA...

AGENT SCULLY: Yes, but I don't know how exactly.

AGENT EINSTEIN: How it's being triggered.

AGENT SCULLY: I don't know that either.

AGENT EINSTEIN: Or why it's happening now.

---------------

AGENT EINSTEIN: What can we possibly do?

AGENT SCULLY: We need to act quickly.

AGENT EINSTEIN: You were right about that.

AGENT SCULLY: Well, I was wrong about the science. I was wrong about what's causing it. Dead wrong, in fact.

AGENT EINSTEIN: But it's clearly a widespread failure of our immune systems.

AGENT SCULLY: Through gene tampering. A virus within a virus that was put there through the smallpox vaccine. It's what these men are calling the Spartan virus.

---------------

AGENT EINSTEIN: We have to figure this out. What's wrong with the science?

AGENT SCULLY: Okay, the Spartan virus removes the adenosine deaminase gene from your DNA. Remove the ADA gene and your immune system will simply vanish.

AGENT EINSTEIN: Yeah, but I'm not getting sick.

AGENT SCULLY: It's only a matter of time.

AGENT EINSTEIN: Okay, so how does it work? How does the virus remove the ADA gene?

AGENT SCULLY: A process called CRISPR-Cas9.

AGENT EINSTEIN: RNA and a protein cutting genes at exact locations.

AGENT SCULLY: Exactly. But in this instance, it is used as a weapon.

AGENT EINSTEIN: The ultimate weapon. The ability to depopulate the planet. To kill everyone but the chosen.

AGENT SCULLY: By tampering with their DNA.

---------------

AGENT MULDER: Through gene editing.

SVETA (Alien abductee): Why do such a thing and lie about it? Our own government.

AGENT MULDER: Your own government lies, as a matter of course, as a matter of policy. The Tuskegee experiments on black men in the 30s, Henrietta Lacks.

SVETA (Alien abductee): What are they trying to do?

AGENT MULDER: That's the missing piece.

AGENT MILLER: But it's not hard to imagine a government hiding, hoarding technology for 70 years, at the expense of human life and the future of the planet, driven not only by corporate greed, but a darker objective.

AGENT MULDER: The takeover of America.

AGENT MILLER: And then the world itself, by any means necessary, however violent, or cruel, or efficient. By severe drought, brought on by weather wars, conducted secretly using aerial contaminants and high-altitude electromagnetic waves, in a state of perpetual war. To create problem-reaction-solution scenarios to distract, enrage and enslave American citizens at home. With tools like the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act, which abridge the Constitution in the name of national security. The militarization of police forces in cities across the U.S. The building of prison camps by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with no stated purpose. The corporate takeover of food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, even the military in clandestine agendas to fatten, dull, sicken and control a populace already consumed by consumerism.

EX US PRESIDENT BUSH JR.: And I encourage you all to go shopping more.

AGENT MILLER: A government that taps your phone, collects your data and monitors your whereabouts with impunity. A government preparing to use that data against you when it strikes. And the final takeover begins.

AGENT SCULLY: The takeover of America.

AGENT MILLER: By a well-oiled and well-armed multinational group of elites that will cull, kill and subjugate.

AGENT SCULLY: Happening as we sit here.

AGENT MILLER: It's happening all around us.

AGENT MULDER: The other shoe waiting to drop.

AGENT MILLER: It'll probably start on a Friday. The banks will announce a security action necessitating their computers to go offline all weekend.

AGENT MULDER: Digital money will disappear.

SVETA (Alien abductee): They can just steal your money?

AGENT MULDER: Followed by the detonation of strategic electromagnetic pulse bombs to knock out major grids.

AGENT MILLER: What will seem like an attack on America by terrorists or Russia

AGENT SCULLY: Invasion of the US

AGENT MULDER: The Russians tried in 47.
