-Caveat Lector-
Well what Planned Parenthood and the
ADL and Abortion Clinics have not gotten they now loose upon the world.
Oh such tears for these poor Aids victims but waiting in the wings, well
there is an awful lot of coffee in Brazil and lots of rubies, diamonds,
gold, uranium, saphires, in Africa just waiting for the new invaders to
march in and take.
Why is Africa so poor and this UN Secretary so rich - a zulu in $1,200
suits telling us we must pay for AIDS in Africa while they push it on
the kids in the USA as a form of their genocide, but our suicide?
Now in the 60 period we had the Civil Rights Fights and King marhcing
across the promised land thinking he would take it over but God got him
Nebo just like he nailed Moses......never did find the body of Moses.
Now here we are the 40 year march through the wilderness and they come
up with a real killer, Gay Pride and mix well with the boy scouts for
effetive form of genocidie.
Let them all die of Aids but keep our boy scouts out of it for that sick
Democrat Lot is destroying the boy scouts???? Hey they will be there
long after the AIDS plague and ADL is gone.

MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
UNITED NATIONS, June 25 � Calling upon world leaders to
face the facts about a pandemic that has swept continents, taking over
22 million lives and leaving 13 million children orphans, U.N.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan delivered a powerful opening to the first
global gathering on HIV/AIDS, on Monday.

'We cannot deal with AIDS by making moral judgments or refusing to
face unpleasant facts, and still less by stigmatizing those who are
infected.'
� KOFI ANNAN
U.N. secretary general "UP TO NOW, the world's response
has not measured up to the challenge," Annan said. "We must change �
if not for our own sake, then for our children's."
The secretary-general, who has made the fight against
AIDS his personal priority, said money must be urgently mobilized and
used effectively in response to this "unprecedented crisis."
What are needed, Annan said, are leadership, partnership
and solidarity.
"Leadership is needed in every country, in every
community � and at the international levels, where the entire united
nations is now engaged.
"Partnership is needed between governments, private
companies, foundations, international organizations � and of course,
civil society.
"Finally, solidarity is needed � between the healthy
and the sick, between rich and poor, between richer and poorer nations."
Harri Holkeri, President of the General Assembly, echoed
many of Annan's remarks, pointing out that "every single day 14,000
people become infected [with HIV]."The United Nations opened a three-day
session on AIDS with a potent symbol - a multicolored, patchwork quilt
honoring the millions of lives lost to one of the worst epidemics in
human history.
Expectations for a successful gathering are high and
varied for many of the 3,000 participants, including health experts,
politicians, scientists, AIDS activists and patients working to find an
end to the scourge.
Three days of conferences and meetings touching on
everything from drug prices to homosexuality, AIDS orphans and funding,
will conclude Wednesday with a document mapping out a global strategy to
halt the disease and reverse its effects.
DEBATE OVER NAMING VULNERABLE
Hours before the conference, however, diplomats were
still arguing over treatment versus prevention and fundamental
differences on the language in the document. Many Muslim nations and
even the United States are vehemently opposed to specifically naming the
disease's most vulnerable groups, including homosexual men. Others argue
it is imperative to identify those most in need of the world's attention
in the AIDS fight.
"When we urge others to change their behavior, so as to
protect themselves against infection, we must be ready to change our own
behavior in the public arena," Annan told the 189-nation General
Assembly.
"We cannot deal with AIDS by making moral judgments or
refusing to face unpleasant facts, and still less by stigmatizing those
who are infected. We can only do it by speaking clearly and plainly,
both about the ways that people become infected, and about what they can
to avoid infection."
Somber messages were expected to follow from the leaders
of Kenya and Nigeria - each home to more than 2 million HIV patients -
and from impoverished Botswana and Zimbabwe, where more than 20 percent
of the adult population is infected, as well as South Africa, where AIDS
will knock off 17 years of life expectancy by 2005.
Two dozen heads of state, mostly from Africa, are
attending the General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, but no
wealthy nation is sending its president or prime minister. The 40-member
U.S. delegation will be represented by Secretary of State Colin Powell.
U.N. radio and an online Webcast will broadcast many of
the events around the world in the six official languages of the United
Nations - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
To allow some delegates to participate, the United States
waived visa restrictions that prevent those with HIV or AIDS from
visiting the country.
For days, U.N. staff have come to work with small,
bow-shaped red ribbons pinned to their lapels. Two giant red AIDS
ribbons were illuminated in windows on both sides of the U.N.
Secretariat building.
ANNAN: SPENDING NEEDS TO RISE
Events on Monday alone include a round-table discussion
on prevention and care, a look at how New York City has responded to the
epidemic, gender issues relating to AIDS, challenges in rural Africa and
the psychological impact of the disease. Canada is expected to announce
a contribution to the global fund.
Up to $10 billion annually is needed to combat the
disease, Annan said. So far three countries - the United States, Britain
and France - have contributed to the fund along with three private
donations, for a total of $528 million.
A study published Friday in the journal Science said the
world's poorest countries will need $9.2 billion a year to deal with
AIDS - $4.4 billion to treat people with the illness and $4.8 billion to
prevent new infections.

"Spending on the battle against AIDS in the developing
world needs to rise to roughly five times its present level," Annan said
Monday. Annan applauded those who have already pledged contributions. "I
hope others will follow their example, during and after this special
session."
On Friday, Powell expressed frustration over the trickle
of donations from Europe to the AIDS fund. He also promised to ask
Congress to increase the U.S. contribution.
"Everybody should be coming up on this, every European
country," Powell said.
"This special session is a landmark in the history of the
United Nations," Holkeri said. "With concerted efforts we will be able
to turn the tide and contain the spread of HIV/AIDS."
