Matterhorn Insurance plays genetic favorites: Announcement adds fuel to simmering controversy

Article summary: Matterhorn, a top U.S. health insurance company, offers deep discounts to customers who have been pre-natally screened for genetic health risk factors.   A few years earlier, the European Union made pre-natal health screening available free to its citizens after experience showed vastly improved health profiles from screening.   Social activists in the U.S. argue that such discounting will create a two-tier social structure in the country further dividing the "haves" from the "have-nots."

Defending America's Homeland: The Genetic Solution by Dr. Henry Wallright, former National Security Advisor for the Homeland Party administration.

Article summary: The U.S. faces a grave military threat from China as the world degenerates into global war.   Two decades earlier, China had initiated a national "Required Genetic Modification" (RGM) policy, resulting in a new generation of Chinese military with faster reaction times, higher IQ, greater aggression and nationalistic beliefs than the norm.   The only way the U.S. can defend its global position long-term is to institute the same policy domestically.   The article urges support for an upcoming constitutional amendment to permit RGM in the U.S.

Phoenix Rising [Speech Fragment by Juan José Gonzalez, the newly-appointed Chairman of the United Nations Governing Council]

Article summary: Sr. Gonzalez addresses the G26 nations in the wake of the devastation caused by twenty years of global war.   Vowing "never again", the UN has passed a strictly enforced Global Aggression Limitation Treaty (GALT) permitting only genetic enhancement which subordinates the "aggression" and "doctrinal belief" gene-sets.   GALT promises a new generation of more peaceful and tolerant d-humans. Sr. Gonzalez also announces the creation of a new agency – the United Nations Authority for the Primal Species (UNAPS) - to supervise and care for the billions of so-called "Primals" who have not yet been genetically enhanced.
