5. DNA does not exist. Fictional evidence
By Robbin Koefoed Jakobsen
"… thousands of people have been convicted by DNA's near-miraculous ability to search out suspects across space and time." - Newsweek, vol. 132 issue 20
Police openly proclaims their ability to collect DNA and use it as evidence.
An often illustrated tool for accumulation of this DNA is a cotton swab as showcased in television and images on the internet.
Back home at the police station, the DNA is packed and sent to a special laboratory who have the rights to perform DNA analysis in criminal cases.
The modern working method of gathering DNA evidence and use it in court became possible because of a man named Kary Mullis invented the crime laboratory technique that was able to analyze the collected evidence. This method has been given the name Polymerase Chain Reaction.
The invention of PCR
The Polymerase Chain Reaction method, short PCR, was invented as mentioned by Kary Mullis.
According to himself the chemical partydrug LSD might very well have been the cause of it’s invention.
"Would I have invented PCR if I hadn't taken LSD? I seriously doubt it.”
Kary Mullis recalls “I thought this was a really cool invention that would make me famous,"
Kary Mullis was driving in his car when, quote from the american curriculum content provider Gale, ”In a revelation nothing short of miraculous, Mullis suddenly envisioned a polymerase chain reaction, pulled over, and scribbled it down.”
”The revelation came to this eccentric character on a drive in northern California.” - DNA Learning Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
According to his own memoir Kary Mullis predicted that the PCR invention could win him the Nobel Prize.
Kary Mullis foresight proved correctly. Mullis recieved the nobel peace prize in 1993
and.. commented “This should be a great way to pick up babes,”
Kary Mullis has, according to the american curriculum content provider Gale, ”… admitted during lectures that he faked data to better serve a hypothesis ...”
This above quote is however likely not directly linked to his development of PCR.
How PCR works according to authorities
According to the Global Forensic and Justice Center “Most publicly funded DNA crime laboratories in the United States are part of state, regional or municipal law enforcement agencies and accept submissions from multiple agencies.”
It is the task of these crime laboratories to perform an analysis of for example a cotton swab with blood stain.
- BUT -
These crime laboratories base their DNA analyses on the premise that the DNA collected is too small to work with.
Which is why they, the police means it is necessary to enlarge the collected evidence with a synthetic replacement copy of the collected DNA.
Roughly speaking does the technique mean that you can copy selected areas of the DNA. Meaning one can begin with a very small material, and have it copied to be large enough to measure - explains Bo Thisted Simonsen, 2012, deputy head of the department of forensic genetics at University of Copenhagen. His explanation is taken from the danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet.
“Imagine an amplifier powerful enough to convert the inaudible whir of butterfly wings into a mighty roar. That's what a new tool called PCR routinely does to the most infinitesimal snippets of DNA, the molecule that carries the genetic blueprint for all living things. Within the space of a few hours, an unprepossessing aluminum box stuffed with test tubes can create a billion copies of what started out as a single strip of DNA.” - TIME Magazine, 1991, Vol. 138 Issue 6
Thus, the development of the DNA analysis is conducted ONLY on a purely theoretical level invisible to the human eye, with a conviction that Kary Mullis ‘revelation while driving’ plays out inside the ‘aluminium box’. And also is therefore justified only if the underlying academic papers concerning the validity of the existence of DNA is telling the truth.
The appliance of PCR is not only useful in forensic science according to Dr. Thaddeus Kelly, geneticist at University of Virginia. It can be used for what the authorities want. “The applications of this technology are literally as wide as your imagination!”
Dr. Harley Rotbart, microbiologist, University of Colorado School of Medicine "This technique can reproduce genetic material more efficiently than nature,"
Alec Jeffreys, geneticist at University of Leicester stated ”Now … there is a genetic time machine for looking back into the past.”
The judicial system
"Our statements and studies are often crucial evidence in court, and the courts often follow our documentation blindly." - quote from Peter Theilade of Forensic Medicine, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2007.
"Jurors now expect us to have a DNA test for just about every case. They expect us to have the most advanced technology possible, and they expect it to look like it does on television." - National Institute of Justice Journal, Issue 259, 2008
“Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as a gene. … Genes only make up about 1 percent of the DNA sequence. DNA sequences outside this 1 percent are involved in regulating when, how and how much of a protein is made.” quote from the National Human Genome Research Institute, genome.gov
”When the police test DNA that is collected at a crime scene, it creates a profile of where the individual genes are located in the DNA.” quote from Liberty Law, Edmonton criminal law firm
This socalled existence of genes are therefore essential for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to work. Read 4. DNA does not exist. The invention of genes.
