DNA Collection: Is It All About Solving Crimes or Something Else?


Bill Knell
Message Bill Knell

Anytime a new tool for law enforcement use comes along, there are people that are concerned about the violation of individual rights. In the case of DNA collection, they may have a point in ways you cannot imagine. For the past several decades, individual freedoms have been sacrificed in the name of the public good.

There is always some new master criminal that we need to be protected against. We’re told that we’ll only be safe by pulling together and giving in to government demands that we relinquish freedoms. It will not be long before one of those federal government demands will include DNA collection from anyone charged with a federal crime.

Mandatory DNA collection isn’t anything new. Police departments throughout the United States have lobbied law makers for years to allow them to collect DNA samples from people suspected as perpetrators of violent crimes. However, the list of crimes that qualify for mandatory DNA testing has grown to include many non-violent offenses.

In some places, just getting a traffic ticket that requires a court appearance is reason enough for a mandatory DNA sample. In others, Police Officers have been ordered to ask motorists stopped for any reason at all for a DNA sample. While not mandatory, the inference is that refusing to give the office a DNA sample will cause them to search your car or even give you a sobriety test.

Very few people understand what the authorities can learn from a simple DNA sample. Unlike fingerprints, it can provide information about your appearance, ancestry, relatives, health and much more. It’s a very personal form of detection that goes far beyond simple identification.

Researchers are already claiming that personality traits, likes and dislikes, intellectual capability, sexual orientation and the ability to successfully reproduce are things they will soon be able to discern from a simple DNA sample. Anti-terrorism planning experts tell me that plans are already underway to create DNA sample collection stations in airport terminals and mass transit stations.

Given the fact that secret technologies used by the U.S. Government tend to be fifty years ahead of what’s commercially available, the idea of your DNA in the hands of good ole Uncle Sam should frighten the daylights out of you! Many police agencies already have permission to collect the DNA of suspects without their knowledge or consent.

Regarding government interest in UFO and Paranormal Experiencers, researchers have noticed a disturbing trend that started forty years ago and continues today. A number of people that claim to be the victims of Alien Abduction or have shown a propensity for psychic abilities have been targeted as subjects for study by the government.

Hailing from Long Island, known as a place where many Alien Abductions occur, it didn’t surprise me to find evidence that locating and studying Abductees has been a government priority for many years. A number of people that were first contacted or abducted in the 1960s have told me that they were invited to participate in special study groups at various college campuses and other facilities.

Once they reached school age or began attending a preschool, parents would receive a visit from someone claiming to be a member of some educational committee. They would tell the parents that initial evaluations reveal that their child is special. Next they would invite the parents to sign their kids up for a study of gifted children.

There would always be some sort of payoff. A partial or full scholarship to a major college or university, cash payments for time their children spent there or free tutoring if needed. The testing would usually take place one day a week after school or on Saturday. The studies would run for periods ranging from a few weeks to several years.

Most of the studies ended abruptly and without notice leaving promises unfulfilled. When parents tried contacting the college or institution where it took place, they would be told the study that their child was involved with was privately funded and implemented with no ties to them. Even when parents pursued the matter, there would be no trail to follow or anyone to blame.

In more than one case, I found it fascinating that the children were encouraged to play a bizarre game. They were given cups of water, orange juice or soda. After they drank the contents, the kids were encouraged to play a game called “spit clean.” After rinsing the cups out with warm water, they would be told to spit in the cup, empty out some of the spit, and then wipe the cup with one of their fingers.

Once they were finished wiping the inside of the cup, the contestants wrote their names on the outside. The cups were collected and a judge later announced the winner. The winner was supposedly the contestant that had a cup that was the most “spit clean.”

There could have been many reasons for a game like that in an intellectual testing environment, but DNA gets my vote. Sure, it was too early for DNA testing in the 1960s…or was it? Children were also encouraged to play with things that looked like computer keyboards to produce bizarre digital readouts on individual screens.

With much talk about Alien manipulation of human DNA in ancient times, it’s not unreasonable to believe that our government has been able to use DNA samples to identify some people as better candidates for alien abduction than others. The same may be true of people with various supernatural abilities such as psychics and mediums.

It would be a mistake to believe that giving local, state or federal authorities a DNA sample is just about keeping you safe or being a good citizen. It could be about much more. Apart from a gross violation of personal freedoms, UFO and Paranormal Experiencers might have more to loose than most people.

If the government decides to place Experiencers on a list of enemies of the state, it will be a lot easier to find people they feel need to be isolated from the rest of the public if they have their DNA samples. Imagine the day when a DNA sample that proves you have been abducted by Aliens or have Psychic abilities lands you in jail.

If you think that will never happen, imagine how surprised you’ll be when failing to render a DNA sample when asked for one becomes a federal crime. Think not? In some places leaving gum wrappers on the sidewalk can get you charged with a federal crime right now. Why? You may be contributing to the death of an endangered species of bird that might try and eat the wrapping and die in the process. When that happens, get ready to submit your spit!
