In other places besides Africa, AIDS is destined to reap a large helping of death and
destruction in the future. BUT, Africa is the real killing fields for this disease.
Recent reports have focused again on AIDS and its origins, and the situation in
Africa. We have recently had the debunking of the "small pox vaccine contamination
theory" (which I am inclined to believe may hold some truth despite this latest
dismissal), and some credulity (sniggerred at by "real" doctors) by African leaders to
"alternative theories", of Duesberg and others.
I have often said that AIDS, if a man made thing, was not designed for war as a
bilogical agent but that it fits the bill most excellently as a POPULATION CONTROL
measure, and where are there a lot of "useless eaters" and "less-than-humans" (in the
terminology of the Ubermensch of the Fascist Elite NWO types, at any rate), why,
Africa of course! So they are dying like flies, and it seems little is done. But we
will bomb a Pharmaceutical factory, spend millions trying to get an Afghani
"terrorist", suppress alternative medicine (as well as energy, etc.), bomb Kosovo,
embargo Iraq, and on and on. How much does all that cost? How much more important an
issue is it that MILLIONS are dying and will die, than all of these other "petty"
things combined. If you wanna say lats mind our own business, that's fine too, but
you can't have it both ways. Either be involved Internationally wherever, whenever,
or not at all.
