BlackState.com: HIV/AIDS Is The Number One Threat To Black Survival

BlackState.com | 14.09.2003 16:01 | Globalisation | Health | Social Struggles | London | World

For a people that have survived centuries of slavery and colonialism and race based terror HIV/AIDS represents today the most serious threat to the survival of people of African descent. HIV/AIDS is not only a serious threat to the genocide of millions of Africans affected with HIV/AIDS it is also the fastest growing leading cause of death amongst African Americans and people of African descent throughout the world.

For A people that have survived centuries of slavery and colonialism and race based terror HIV/AIDS represents today the most serious threat to the survival of people of African descent. HIV/AIDS is not only a serious threat to the genocide of millions of Africans affected with HIV/AIDS it is also the fastest growing leading cause of death amongst African Americans and people of African descent throughout the world.

The growth of HIV/AIDS amongst African Americans is especially peculiar given the national education campaigns of condom use and safe sex over the last ten years. Although African Americans make up only about 12 percent of the U.S. population, they accounted for half of the new HIV infections reported in the United States in 2001. According to the Center for Disease Control, African Americans have accounted for more than 320,000, or 38 percent, of the more than 833,000 estimated AIDS cases diagnosed since the beginning of the epidemic. By the end of December 2001, more than 168,000 African Americans had died from AIDS.

In Africa the situation is critical, according to World Health Organization director Dr. Lee Jong, "The greatest challenge facing us now is the challenge of HIV/AIDS. In the African Region, more than 30 million people are HIV-positive. People are dying every day. They urgently need treatment."

Use Condoms Stupid

And the jewish people feel that the holocaust was the terrible thing as black people feel the same about slavery,,,,but instead of whingeing can't you just stop shagging so much and use the various forms of contraception avilable to you.....How about encouraging all those starving and suffering "black people" to wake the fuck up and stop whingeing whilst waiting for handouts from the "slavemaster"....because I tell you until the very day you are prepared to stop bargaining with the devil and the one who mgives not a fuck about you or "black people" then your salvation is ready and waiting....In fact it never ceases to amaze me how jewish people and blacks and etcera's are always whingeing about how little rights that they truly have under the auspices of the clearly satanic "new world order" but please get this through your thick black whingeing skulls right now if the "slavemaster" has fucked you lot over for centuries with colonialism ,slavery,aids and crack cocaine and has clearly not changed in this then how the fuck is the "slave master" going to help you now....perhaps you had better be a bit more assertive instead of lobbying in a false democracy and asking for help from those whose only interest is to continue to exploit you financially spiritually and in just about every way possible....
It seems that there are many whingers and protestors out there but who has the courage among you to free your minds from this indoctrinated fear-based reality that you most closely associate with and foolishly bargain and ask for help for from it's satanic architects...sorry to bust your cosy little bubble here but unless you have the courage to face this shit head on then they will fuck you over every time....fuck duiscussions get out there and kick there stupid asses

Bollockschops


its not a simple as condoms stupid

15.09.2003 17:53

sure the west isn't going to volunteer to do much to save africans dying from aids. And sure the africans need to be responsible for their own sexual practice. But you're pretty stupid to claim that "use a condom" is the solution. In the west we can pop to a garage toilet and get a pack of condoms for a couple of quid, less than an hours wage for most people. We can go to our doctors and health clinics and get free condoms. Or we can buy them in a hundred highstreet retailers. In most of africa where the aids epidemic kills millions condoms are simply not available to buy, and when they are they cost the equivilent of days or even weeks of work. Clinics and health centers are few and far between, thanks to the ongoing exploitation and crimes of the west, and the Bush administration has cut funding from any charity that advocates the use of condoms.
Your comment, once you edit out the gratuitous and pointless swearing, seems to be blaming africans - blaming the victims, and washing your hands of any responsibility for it. The fact that you drag jews "and other whiners" into it clearly illustrates your prejudice and irrationality. I suppose you blame women for being raped on "the clothes they wear"?
fuckwit.

I repeat what i say,that the day africans ,blacks,Zionists,palestinians etc and all the other whiners stop whingeing and waiting for handouts from the self same criminals who are opposed to thier welfare{i,e 24 curfew in hebron)then change can happen.....But hear this,...Until the day we have the courage to drop begging for favours and a release from a fear-based-reality from the self same satanic architects of this fear based reality the we as humans are always truly fucked.....If we continue to operate and try to change "the world" from the standpoint of a victim,then life will support us totally in a victim stance....Even as far as women being raped...true it is not thier fault.....but what could they do now to become that much more aware of the key signs of a rapist....I have heard that most rapists are related to or close friends or work colleagues...don't know if that helps you.....and sorry if that rubs you the wrong way but I do not have time for being a victim.......And the answer is to drop being a protestor and playing into the handfs of the police.....And think about ways of creating a reality that does not depend upon asking for permission from those people who are opposed to your freedom and only covering thier financial asses........Here you all are lobbying the police and politicians and the "world government" for "equal and fair treatment" when it is clear that these self same architects of this fear-based-reality otherwise known as the"new world order" simply do not give a fuck about any of you or us.......So why waste valuable breath clinging to stupid old ideas about who is in "power" when truly the only power is awareness arising from the true power source of infinite love.....
And if that means saying no to old idea in your head about who is in control then so be it.......Your one biggest mistake is try to cahnge the world outwardly by yelling "shame on you " at clearly selfichly corrupt fascist like Pigs and politicians,when real cahnge just happens inwardly by changing your own world view,instead of fighting with the menatl projections and media imposed "world view" of the illuminati....
When you protest,scream shout and fight with police,and cling to old ideas as part of victim conciousness you are jsut feeding the "devil" as it were,because the devil needs you in your current mode of victim,crying about starving africans and raped women etc....
Such is the cunning of this illuminati devil.....that any way that he can encourage any ideas of a diseempowered reality involving you where you need or depend on a outer or higher "authority" to solve the problem,then he has again fucked you over time again with the age old PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION GAME..... So try to understand that I am not against you at all,and I urge you to see through all the bogus media induced world view that you currently believe in,is it really true,have you really been to africa and seen the people "dting of aids" well let me tell you that there are also millions of americans and europeans and indians etc in fact people world wide are apparently dying from aids,but that's if we believe the media/murdoch induced "world view"...
But is this actually true in that every source of your information is from the media who are defintely illuminati controllesd,again by those self same architects of this fear-based-reality that if we are stupid then we believe it....
So let us be careful when we talk of a "sense of self",because the self is actually an impose unreality/fake identity imposed by the schools....imposed by the religion....imposed by the society and all of the sick neurotic victims that inhabit this victim conciousness that we know as "the world today"
You are right in that people suffer,and I say to you that we do not have any answers at all as a crowd mind .....the only one who can change is the individual......you cannot effect change in "the world" by joining an "organisaTION" or "society" because all you need do is toremove that deep programmed belief system of "the world" and go to that place in you which is TOTAL AWARENESS and TOTAL LOVE and TOTAL LIGHT......
I have no choice but to harsh on your ego and ego's out there because ask yourself what has changed since the fights with the police/dsei and the arms dealers....
No bodies stopped arms dealing have they.....
And no bodies stopped raping women just because you don't like it..have they
So why is this....
And how will we cease to identify with this victim or "us and them" conciousness that is poison to the love that is human???.....
Are we Black,???
Are we JEws?
Are we this
Are WE that
or ARE WE JUST LOVE
or ARE WE FEAR?

AID$ IS A MYTH

13.07.2007 08:01

A BRIEF HISTORY OF AIDS

In the early 80's, doctors started seeing more and more people with suppressed immune systems coming into emergency rooms with several opportunistic infections. These were primarily gay men and intravenous drug users. There was
panic within the gay community and in the general population as more and more people began dying of what was called AIDS: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

In 1984, Robert Gallo, a research scientist working for the National Institute of Health (NIH), announced in a press conference that he had discovered the probable cause of AIDS, and that it was a retrovirus later called HIV: Human
Immunodeficiency Virus. Without having published his findings for peer review he announced this to the press. The media immediately ran with it, and people began demanding funding into research into HIV, all based on the assumption that
HIV is a sexually-transmitted pathogen that causes AIDS.

The gay community especially rallied and pushed for more AIDS funding and better education about 'safe sex'. In 1987 a drug called AZT was approved by the FDA for the treatment
of AIDS, and this began a multi-billion dollar industry.

RETROVIRUSES DO NOT CAUSE DISEASE

HIV is a normal retrovirus. Its genetic composition does not differ very much from other retroviruses. No retrovirus has ever been shown to cause disease outside of a lab. Unlike ordinary viruses, retroviruses do not kill their host cells. Retroviruses occur naturally inside of the cells of many animals, including humans. Retroviruses are seen by many scientists to be naturally occurring parts of our cells. Retroviruses are not sexually-transmitted, but they are passed from mother to child. Retroviruses had been studied by the NIH extensively throughout the 70's in hopes that they would find a retrovirus that caused cancer. Because retroviruses do not kill cells, they were a perfect candidate for cancer, in which cells do not die but instead multiply rapidly.

Millions of dollars went into all of this research into retroviruses with nothing to show for it. Gallo himself tried to prove more than once that he had found a disease-causing retrovirus, only to be debunked by the scientific community. When AIDS appeared, Gallo and the NIH were already looking for a
disease that they could blame on a retrovirus, to justify all of their wasted funding.

HIV HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND

HIV has never been isolated from human blood. What AIDS researchers call isolation of HIV is the finding of certain chemicals and enzymatic activity that they claim indicates the presence of HIV. They find proteins and genetic material thought to come from HIV, or they find reverse transcriptase activity.

But none of these proteins, RNA strands, or enzyme activities are unique to HIV.

What most AIDS scientists research in their labs is a lab artifact. It is HIV that is created and grown in a lab, and it is thought to be the same thing that causes AIDS when it infects people.

THE TEST DOES NOT FIND HIV

The test for HIV does not look for an actual virus in your blood. It looks for antibodies that will react with a set of proteins that are produced by HIV. But none of these proteins are specific to HIV. Antibodies in the blood resulting
from other conditions can cross-react with the proteins in the HIV test. Blood must be diluted before being tested for HIV. Without dilution, all blood samples would test positive for HIV because we all have some antibodies that will cross-react with the test. There are at least 66 factors that are known to
cause false positive results on an HIV test, including other infections, drug use, and receptive anal sex. Having unprotected receptive anal sex causes your body to produce antibodies in response to semen.

These antibodies to semen can cross-react with the proteins in the HIV test, producing a false positive result. In addition, people of African descent have a higher probability of
testing false positive, because they naturally have a greater variety of antibodies in their blood.

NO GOLD STANDARD FOR HIV TESTING

HIV tests are not standardized. This is because HIV has never been isolated from human blood, so there is no way to know how specific the tests are to HIV infection. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve a single HIV
test for the diagnosis of HIV infection. There are a variety of tests, and the results are interpreted differently in different countries. So the same sample of blood could test positive in the United States while testing negative in Europe. Another more expensive HIV test is the viral load test. Viral load
testing makes use of PCR: polymerase chain reaction. It takes a very small amount of genetic material and makes enough copies of it that you can detect it.

Dr. Kary Mullis, who won a Nobel prize for inventing PCR, is among the scientists who say that HIV does not cause AIDS. He claims that viral load testing is a misuse of PCR. PCR does not find isolated virus in the blood. It finds pieces of RNA strands thought to belong to HIV.

PRESENCE OF ANTIBODIES MEANS IMMUNITY

Usually, if you test positive for antibodies that means that your immune system has effectively fought off a pathogen and you now have immunity. But with the HIV test, the logic is reversed. Instead of meaning that you now have immunity to HIV, testing positive is said to mean that you are infected and your immune
system has failed to neutralize the virus. The great hope for many who believe that HIV causes AIDS is that researchers will some day develop a vaccine. But vaccines work by causing your body to produce antibodies specific to a pathogen.
If a vaccine for HIV was created, everyone who had the vaccine would then test positive for HIV on the non-specific antibody tests now in use.

AZT SUPPRESSES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

The original drug used to treat people with AIDS, called AZT, was not created for AIDS treatment. AZT was originally developed in the 70's as a chemotherapy drug for cancer patients, but it was not approved because it was determined to
be too toxic. Chemotherapy for cancer patients is limited to a certain duration, while AZT and similar drugs are prescribed to AIDS patients for the rest of their lives. The study that lead to FDA approval for AZT has now been shown to have been fraudulent. The package for AZT says: "TOXIC. Toxic by
inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Wear suitable protective clothing." Among other side effects, AZT destroys the bone marrow of the body.

The reason doctors see an initial rise in their patients' T cell count after taking AZT is because the bone marrow is where T cells are produced. AZT destroys the bone marrow and this releases more T cells from the marrow into the blood. Prolonged use of AZT has been shown to suppress the immune system and lower T cell counts. About 95% of AIDS-related deaths have occurred since the release of AZT.

ANTIRETROVIRAL SIDE EFFECT LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH

The newer protease inhibitors used in combo therapy are also a type of chemotherapy. They work by preventing the replication of genetic material belonging to HIV. But these proteins are not specific to HIV, and the protease
inhibitors do not exclusively target HIV. The highest cause of death today for people with AIDS is liver failure. Liver failure is not an AIDS-defining illness, but it is a known side-effect of the protease inhibitors. AIDS patients can see the disappearance of some symptoms while taking the drug cocktails. This is because the drugs they are taking are global poisons that
kill many microbes in the body that may be pathogenic, such as bacteria and other viruses.

ANTIRETROVIRALS NOT PROVEN TO IMPROVE HEALTH

The drug companies claim that the release of protease inhibitors in 1996 was responsible for decreased deaths due to AIDS. But deaths from AIDS had already begun a declining trend three years before in 1993, and the introduction of
protease inhibitors did not significantly alter this trend. Studies are no longer comparing AIDS drugs with a placebo. Now when they test a new antiretroviral drug they compare a group taking the new drug with a group that is taking the older drugs. There are no studies being done comparing the difference in health between people taking the AIDS medications and people who are not taking the drugs, though many HIV positive people lead healthy lives free of disease for many years, without taking AIDS medication.

CDC REDEFINES AIDS TO INCREASE NUMBERS

AIDS statistics can be very misleading. This is because of the many definitions for AIDS that have been used by different countries and at different times.

Originally, in the United States you had to test HIV positive and have one or more of the AIDS-defining illnesses to be counted as somebody with AIDS. In 1993 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) expanded this definition to include
anyone who tested positive for HIV and had a T cell count of under 200. This nearly tripled the perceived number of AIDS cases in the US. Many of the people who have AIDS by this definition are perfectly healthy, and would not be
considered to have AIDS if they moved to Canada.

AIDS IN AFRICA CAUSED BY POVERTY

Today we are told that ridiculously large numbers of people in Africa are HIV positive and will die of AIDS unless treated. These statistics are not counts of people who have actually tested positive. It is an estimation generated from
a sample population. The sample population is primarily pregnant women, who are the ones who get priority for medical treatment in poor countries. But pregnancy is known to be a source for false positive results on HIV tests. And
people of African descent in general are more likely to test false positive.

The World Health Organization does not require a positive HIV test for the diagnosis of AIDS in Africa. All that is required is a certain number of symptoms. But all of these symptoms can also be explained by malnutrition, malaria, and tuberculosis, conditions that have been health risks for Africans
long before the invention of AIDS. The health of poor Africans would undoubtedly be improved with better food and sanitation.

But funding is now being geared towards delivery of toxic AIDS medications to Africans rather than for these basic essentials.

AIDS DEFINES ITSELF

Clearly many people have died in this country and elsewhere as the result of a suppressed immune system. But the 29 AIDS-defining illnesses are not new illnesses, and they all have previously documented causes and treatments.

Diagnosis of AIDS now works like a formula. If you have pneumonia and you test HIV negative, you are told you have pneumonia. If you have pneumonia and you test HIV positive, you are told you have AIDS and you are treated with toxic
AIDS drugs. For those people who are truly immune suppressed, there are other possible explanations for this phenomenon, and many safe non-toxic therapies.

DRUGS AND MALNUTRITION CAUSE AIDS

If the true condition of AIDS is a suppressed immune system unable to fight off opportunistic infections, there are many other factors that can cause this.

Drugs such as cocaine and crystal methane are known to suppress the immune system. These drugs were used extensively by many gay men in the 1970's and 1980's. Intravenous drug users who have AIDS are said to be immune suppressed due to HIV, rather than due to the drug they have been injecting.

Corticosteroids and some antibiotics, often prescribed to drug addicts and promiscuous gay men, are also immune suppressive. Blood given to hemophiliacs and other transplant recipients used to be treated with immune suppressing
agents. Now with a new way to treat this blood, AIDS among blood recipients has declined. Despite predictions of a global epidemic, AIDS cases in the United States have remained confined to its original primary risk groups: promiscuous
gay men and intravenous drug users. In the gay party scene, drug use, malnutrition, and sleep deprivation continue to be high risk factors for immune deficiency.

POPPERS CAUSE KAPOSI'S SARCOMA

Kaposi's Sarcoma is one of the AIDS-indicator diseases, but it primarily occurs in gay men and not other AIDS groups. Nitrite inhalants or poppers, used extensively by gay men in the 70's and 80's, have been shown to cause Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS). KS is a cancer of the blood vessels. Nitrites are known
carcinogens. KS is usually seen in gay men around the face, mouth, and in the lungs, all sites of contact with nitrite fumes.

There are many recorded incidents of KS in HIV-negative gay men who used poppers. As the use of poppers decreased in the 90's, the incidence of KS also decreased. Poppers are still
used by many gay men.

FEAR ALONE CAN CAUSE AIDS

Fear and anxiety is another factor that can suppress the immune system. Stress releases cortisol in the body. This cortisol is used to help break down tissues for the release of energy needed in a fight or flight situation. But prolonged
stress and anxiety creates abnormally high levels of cortisol in the body.

Cortisol has been shown to suppress the immune system and decrease T cell counts. Irregular sleep or lack of sleep also increases cortisol levels. Gay men who face discrimination and hatred for their sexuality can experience chronic fear and anxiety. Intravenous drug users also face a lot of chronic
fear and paranoia as part of their addiction. Testing positive for HIV itself can create huge amounts of fear in the person being diagnosed.
