It’s already happening before our eyes.
The transformation of humans into a partially artificial species.
You read that right. High-tech types call it The Merge: man melding with or into computers, robots, and other form of artificial intelligence.
So filled with the pride of Lucifer is humankind that we have decided God didn’t create us quite the way He could or should have and so we’ll now set about doing it ourselves.
Recreating Creation. Creating “transhumans.”
We’ve done this in so many ways already (witness all the artificiality around you), why not take this next step?
Indeed, a major new A.I. firm has started up a company by exactly that moniker: Merge Labs. It’s an outfit partly owned by OpenAI (ChatGPT) founder Sam Altman and will develop technologies where implants in the human brain will be able to “telepathically” communicate with other machines, such that a paralyzed person be able, as just one instance, to control devices wirelessly.
Elon Musk’s company Neuralink is already hard at work on this. So are companies with names like Precision Neuroscience and Synchron.
Sounds great–altruistic.
But creepy?
That it is, and as this new “Special Report” will show, it isn’t the half of it.
Do you know who one of the very earliest promoters of transhumanism was?
You’ll recognize the name: Jeffrey Epstein. He backed the World Transhumanist Association, which aims at what many call the creation. And you thought Adam and Eve sinned?
As a conservative publication put it, “One aspect of Epstein’s life which is unlikely to be the focus of any TV drama is his obsession with transhumanism. For those who know little about this relatively recent phenomenon, transhumanism is usually defined as the movement in philosophy which advocates the transformation of humanity through the development of technologies which will re-shape humans intellectually and physiologically so that they transcend or supersede what is now considered ‘human.’
“At the prideful heart of this movement is a disdain for all that is authentically human and a sordid desire to replace human frailty with superhuman or transhuman strength.”
Brain implant start-up would compete with Musk…

Years back there was a chimpanzee
This is a case I’d like to explore.
For there were those–there were many–who observed the animal up close and believed it was no simple chimp. His name was “Oliver.” And spooky?
Most observers, including scientists, seemed to believe he was part chimp, part human.
We’ll examine that, but human-animal hybrids (it goes beyond chimpanzees) are only one aspect of it.
There is also the looming the very real and indeed already materializing aspect of human brains “merging” with computers and other forms of artificial intelligence. In fact it’s even the expression Elon Musk used way back in 2017.
Might they one day soon claim the ability to upload your consciousness?
His company, Neuralink (more in a moment), is doing this as I write.
Others are hopping on the bandwagon–some secret and some in foreign countries we don’t have access to.
What is a human? And more to the point, what will humans be like in the not-too-distant future, perhaps in our own lifetimes?
That’s the subject of this new “Special Report”: the future of actual humanity itself.
Nothing could snub Our Creator, could disdain Him, more than recreating His Creation.
Yet we’re doing it nonstop.
There’s hardly any reflection.
If we can do something, we do it for the sake of doing it.
Dangerous, dangerous stuff.
No one knows.
Maybe no one wants to know.
But it’s all coming at the speed of an electron.
- Sam Altman: “It’s hard to even imagine today what we will have discovered by 2035; maybe we will go from solving high-energy physics one year to beginning space colonization the next year; or from a major materials science breakthrough one year to true high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces the next year.”
And animals?
There have been claims since the 1970s that scientists had cloned a human (no one ever provided evidence, however), and there are murmurs that China has melded humans with other species.
A team of scientists from the U.S., China, and Spain reported in 2021 that theyd created the first embryos that were part human and part monkey and kept them alive for up to twenty days in laboratory dishes.
Are we sure that’s as far as it’s gone?
In 2019, at the height of the pandemic, Spanish, American, and Chinese scientists, working in China, created very early human-animal (monkey) embryos and never implanted them into the uterus of any animal.
But it was still chilling, for the researchers found a high number of human cells in the “chimeric” embryos–up to seven percent–that survived.
More sobering yet: the team included researchers from the Murcia Catholic University in Guadalupe, Spain, genetically modified monkey embryos to deactivate genes that are essential to the formation of organs. The scientists then injected human stem cells, which are capable of creating any type of tissue, into the embryo. The product of this work is a monkey with human cells that has not been born, because researchers stopped the process.
They’re doing this because soon, they hope to grow organs–extra human parts–in laboratories.
You know it’s going to go farther than that.
Imagine a world with an onslaught of strange, new, partly human animals.
This is the class depiction of a demon: part human, part animal.
Would it have consciousness? Morality? A soul?
The first hybrid human clone was created in November 1998 by Advanced Cell Technology. A nucleus was taken from a man’s leg cell and inserted into a cow’s egg from which the nucleus had been removed, and the hybrid cell was cultured and developed into an embryo. The embryo was destroyed after twelve days.
What would it have looked like had it not been destroyed?
And again: how do we now others have these things in labs that are wrapped in confidentiality.
I’ll never forget a dream I had–a vivid one, for sure–of this thing that looked like an overgrown coconut in a tank of water. In the dream I was staring at it and it was staring at me with sad, totally human eyes. It swam about with a thin tail like a tadpole or paramecium.
The dream creeped me out so much I mentioned it to Mother Nadine Brown, the very mystical nun in Omaha, who told me, without pause, that (this is according only to her spiritual perception) they were doing such things in underwater ocean laboratories.
I have no idea if there is a sliver of credibility to such visions, but they give you pause.
Remember the “190o prophecy”? It started: “In four years there will arise a new evil the likes of which mankind has never before encountered. It will arrive almost imperceptibly, with few people noticing the depth of its evil, for it will appear to have beneficial and convenient aspects. It is an evil comparable to abortion — that is to say, that even if evils as great and widespread as abortion were to be eliminated, this is enough of an evil that it would present mankind with an enormous challenge. This evil is being allowed as a test because of the prayers inspired by Mary to put off chastisements. How mankind responds to this new evil will determine the extent, length, and severity of the first chastisements.”
Maybe they were doing this stuff by 1994.
“My greatest nemesis is science, even more so than the media,” it said. “The science that alters life, the science which creates a counterfeit heaven, the science that toils with the womb and genes, the science that has filled the air with the power of the enemy, the science which creates chemical witchcraft and fouls the earth, the science which seeks to create life but cannot in actuality even sustain it, the science which has denied God.
“This will fall, and all of its creations with it.
“The seat of Satan in America is north of San Francisco.”
That happens to be a hotbed (along with Boston and New York City) of such research.
Fourteen years later came an “addendum” to the prophecy (in December of 2004):
“The world is now seriously out of conformance with the Will of God and what He created and intended. There are those who would reconfigure the very creatures He has formed, and who meddle with the texture of life. For this reason, the Lord will allow a huge reorientation. If not for the action of Heaven, what God has created on earth will soon be damaged beyond recovery.”
Startling words, whe we look back.
Amazing ones.
“Nothing that is artificial in a way that disrupts what God intended will be allowed to stand,” it further stated. “Heed this too: the politics of denial will be struck as with a plague.”
Covid anyone?
(That too came from a lab in China, with American backing).
“Never before has mankind sought to bring all that was made by God under his own dominion,” said another a few years back.
Do you know what this is?
It’s from National Geographic, and it’s a pig embryos injected with human cells.
If you ask me, it’s straightforward evil.
So far, says a journal at M.I.T., “no part-human part-monkey has been born. Instead, the mixed embryos are only being allowed to develop for a week or two in the lab, at which time they can be studied. That is according to Estrella Núñez, a biologist and administrator at the Catholic University of Murcia, in Spain, who told El País her university is helping to fund the research.”
I don’t beleive that’s any longer true. I believe there are hidden labs. Maybe there are a couple in Wuhan.
Or for that matter, California.
A recent survey showed that fifteen-nine percent of the U.S. public can personally accept the process of injecting human-induced stem cells into genetically modified swine embryos or having human tissues produced in a pig’s body transplanted into a human.
Good luck.
And Oliver (that chimp)?
Not only did it differ from other chimps in facial features like the eyes and browridge, but it wanted to be around humans, not other chimps. It never would breed with a fellow chimpanzee but tried to with human females.
It also walked constantly on two feet.
That’s called bipedalism and is a key trai to define “human.”
Usually a chimp will do that only for a very short distance (before getting back to knuckle-walking).
How was it that Oliver had so many human features–and eyes that spooked those who encountered it?
It had been captured in Kenya and certain zoologists speculated that a human and chimp had mated.
That’s quite straightforward.
Can that really produce a viable creature?
Scientists say yes. About 98.8 percent of chimp DNA matches that of humans.
Meanwhile a professor at New York’s University at Albany, Gordum Gallup, claimed to a newspaper in 2018 that a “humanzee” was born in a Florida lab nearly a hundred years ago. He was quoting one of his own college teachers, who alleged had worked at a facility called the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at the Rockefeller Medical and Professional Center in Orange Park near Jacksonville, where it took place. A female chimpanzee was injected with human semen.
Locals at the time viewed the laboratory with an air of mystery; Florida Times-Union columnist Bill Foley wrote that it inspired “dark, deep speculation, wild exaggeration and tall tales shamelessly told around a thousand campfires.”
“And if you’re wondering how the scientists behind the experiment managed to keep it hushed up for decades,” noted the newspaper, “it’s because – according to Gallup – they swiftly killed the infant when they realized the implications of what they’d done.”
In 2020 German and Japanese scientists spliced human genes into the brains of marmosets. That resulted in the monkey fetuses having larger, more human-like brains, according to the journal Science.
In 1929, Soviet scientist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov apparently came very close to creating a human-ape hybrid.
Here’s how one artist thinks it could turn out:
Kind of represents a gray “alien.”
For all we know, Oliver the chimp was the first full-term humanzee.
But I don’t think so. As far as Oliver, his DNA, in the end, matched (in number of chromosomes: 48) that of a chimpanzee, not the forty-six humans have.
What I believe, in this mysterious case, is that Oliver may have been a living relic of what were known as austraolopethecines: the first man-apes that were bipedal [artistic representation from the Smithsonian below].
But again: an actual humanzee may have been created elsewhere–and then there’s the aspect of transhumanism.
Man and machine.
This is every bit as unnerving.
when he told an audience at the World Government Summit in Dubai, where he also launched Tesla in the United Arab Emirates , ““Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.”
Will humans be merged with machines–as Elon Musk urges?
Will humans be merged with animals (which some believe already has secretly happened)?
That’s how arrogant we’ve become: Humans now want full role of Creator and in various ways, organic and inorganic, machine and animal, we are set firmly in this direction.
Elon Musk made a strange and notable statement a couple of years ago.
He said humans were going to have to “merge” with machines–AI–if we want to remain free of their potential tyranny.
Really? We’re already at that point?
Devatable.

But what’s not debatable is that matters are moving at the speed of an electron (or almost),
Neuralink is working on brain-computer interfaces that could enable humans to interact with machines directly, potentially leading to a future where humans can think to control computers and AI. Musk has stated that Neuralink’s technology will eventually allow humans to achieve a state of “symbiosis” with AI, where they can effortlessly combine their brains with computers.
The “Dreamachine”, at Sussex University’s Centre for Consciousness Science, is just one of many new research projects across the world investigating human consciousness: the part of our minds that enables us to be self-aware, to think and feel and make independent decisions about the world.
By learning the nature of consciousness, researchers hope to better understand what’s happening within the silicon brains of artificial intelligence. Some believe that AI systems will soon become independently conscious, if they haven’t already.
But what really is consciousness, and how close is AI to gaining it? And could the belief that AI might be conscious itself fundamentally change humans in the next few decades?
Yes, this statement is generally true. The A17 Pro (used in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max) and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (used in the Samsung Galaxy S24 series) are indeed capable of performing over fifteen trillion operations per second, particularly within their respective Neural Engines, according to various tech reports.
-
Apple’s A17 Pro chip, specifically its 16-core Neural Engine, is capable of performing 35 trillion operations per second (TOPS), according to Tom’s Guide.
-
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 also features a powerful AI engine (Hexagon NPU) that can perform a significant number of AI operations per second, according to CyberShack. While precise TOPS figures for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 are sometimes cited as “approximately 60 AI Engine/Hexagon NPU TOPS”, these numbers can vary slightly depending on the specific benchmark or source.
