I am part of a radical LE "ring". We all have the relevant technical
background. This "paranoid" scenario is uppermost in our minds.
We suspect tha SEVERAL technologies of the near future will be outlawed...
including use of steroid analogue attenuators of corticosteroid activity;
GH polypeptide secretagogues...GHRP6 is EASY to synthesize...much easier
than GHRH 1-22; SOD/catalase inducers; synthetic antioxidants; Biosynthesis
of important substances in genetically modified domesticated animals and
plants; human-scale cognitive AI; and neurotropic substances including
steroids.
Even though I'm not a user of "narcotic" drugs, it is noteworthy that the
antidrug propaganda currently borders on Orwellian.
