The Pentagon is advising members of the military not to use consumer DNA kits, saying the information collected by private companies could pose a security risk, according to a memo co-signed by the Defense Department’s top intelligence official.
A growing number of companies like 23andMe and Ancestry sell testing kits that allow buyers to get a DNA profile by sending in a cheek swab or saliva sample. The DNA results provide consumers information on their ancestry, insights into possible medical risks and can even identify previously unknown family members.
The boom in popularity of such kits has raised ethical and legal issues, since some companies have shared this data with law enforcement or sold it to third parties. The Defense Department is now expressing its own concerns about these kits.

It was OK when mere goyim were sending their DNA to these companies, but not once the military engage it is called out!
These sites are fishing to compile comprehensive DNA maps of the population. They are taking Mengele’s efforts to a whole new level by mapping the entire world’s ancestry.
Very dangerous indeed
Mere goyim you say,well maybe Mengele wasn't too far off.
No, there is no conspiracy ‘Mengle’ DNA experiment going on. The direct to consumer kits that bypass medical doctors have some fine print you need to read. Specifically, they ALL state that you are consenting to essentially give away your DNA mapping to them. This includes, but is not limited to ancestry, 23 and me and many others. The DNA kits ordered by a doctor are all covered under HIPPA, and the data cannot be used for any other purpose. The home DNA kits (where you spit into a tube and send it to them with the paper work) are at the least not reliable as they present a broad scatter, and are really not useful beyond amusement and very general information. The buccal ( cheek swab) and blood draws and very reliable for cancer/ oncology, developmental disabilities, and hereditary conditions. The home kits clearly tell you that they are essentially data mining, while a doctor ordered kit is specific to that test. To that end, recent data breaches by Quest and LabCorps have presented issues, but I assure you that the third reich is not looking to control the population. Rather, the home kit companies are selling off your data at about 7-10K per person. I would personally advise that no one use a home kit without understanding this.

Pocahontas comes to mind...ha...
Mengele was identifying the purest of Ashkenazi Jewish blood so it would be preserved albeit by forced relocation to Israel.
The modern companies are probably interested in identifying diseases which could then alert insurance investments about the risks associated with the diseases. That is a guess. The most profitable way to use the information. It is also sold to police for crime solving and or convicting innocent people of crimes when convenient.
The technique of DNA use is horrible on a moral level. My opinion.

Agree about selling it to police
Don’t no about insurance comps
