The following is lengthy but is full of all sorts of good info.... (my notes)
   
  eg.
  1.) couple USA $trillion debt with world wide economic shutdown and what do 
you get; CHAOS...and everyone knows Order comes out of Chaos...
2.)"Your chances of winning the lottery are about one in 14 million. Your 
chances of catching bird flu are more like one in 100 million, even if we had 
H5N1 among the chicken population.. ." 
  3.)Salmonella poisoning from poultry is somewhat of a threat (any restaurant 
worker can tell you that most states have laws requiring that chicken 
preparation be done in separate area from other foods)
  4.)Note that I said when, not if, the pandemic arrives."  (This thing is 
planned; population control;  Medical officials are salivating discussing the 
need to have the police and the military available to control mass panic.)
  5.The H5N1 virus remains mainly a virus of birds; no evidence that what is 
happening with birds (and has for decades) is going to happen with humans; 
There are no lab tests to confirm the  presence of the highly-pathogenic virus
  6.)Retroviruses are not living creatures but bits of  protein that attach 
themselves to living cells. (prions/mycoplasm---most of the folks that best 
understood this are now members of the "Dead Microbiologists' Club)
7.) "The Airborne Menace is circling the world and is about to land in your 
backyard." (Not said is that it's not "Bird Flu"-- Cliff Carnicom-ex gov't 
scientist can verify the organic nature of some Chemtrail components..not to 
mention barium/aluminum, also present)
  8.)"According to experts ...." Almost all of us believe in the terror of 
viruses and buy into the fear the medical industrial complex insists we should 
have about them.
  9.) AIDS is ethno-specific (Some Dead Microbiologists probably knew this)
  10.)Our diagnosis protocol is something the gov't/FEMA would be proud of--    
  "What is being used to prove viral existence are  indirect test methods which 
tell absolutely nothing."
  11.)Our use of antibiotics continues to rise globally and farming technology 
is a threat (I still prefer poultry rised in large "factories" to that rised at 
home under house as pets to children as is the case throughout ASIA.) But I am 
considering becoming a "Vegan' or 'Breathatorian.'
   
   
  Trust me...Pharma/WHO/Government..all care more about power and control and 
not rocking the 'filtered knowledge' boat than they do about truth and your 
health.  I am not saying that "BIRD FLU" won't strike..but if it does, it won't 
be Mother Nature's doing...

Avian Epidemics 

International Medical Veritas Association 

       

       

            On February 27, 2006 the National Bird Flu Summit opened with the 
usual cast of characters in attendance, the U.N., the WHO, the CDC, and a 
parade of MD/PhD researchers. All ready to preach the word of doom, leading 
everyone in humanity to fear for their lives even though no human-to-human 
spread of any diseases has occurred. 



           A deadly bird flu pandemic will likely cause significant harm to the 
global economy with widespread disruptions in work places, trade and payment 
systems and could prompt a surge in demand for cash, the International Monetary 
Fund warned on Monday. (No mention of the dangerous multi trillion American 
debt, the ending of M3 international money supply reporting by the Federal 
Reserve, or the Iranian move to shortly start selling oil in Euro was made.) 

       

      The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed on March 
      13, 2006 the 98th human death from the H5N1 strain of bird flu.

       

           Professor Sir David King, chief scientific adviser to the British 
government and head of the Office of Science and Technology said "It is very 
important to keep things in proportion, and to make a distinction between the 
virus in birds and the virus in humans. "Your chances of winning the lottery 
are about one in 14 million. Your chances of catching bird flu are more like 
one in 100 million, even if we had H5N1 among the chicken population in 
Britain." 

       

           Way back in 1992 The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 
9,000 Americans die each year from food borne illness, with others becoming ill 
from bacterial, chemical, and pesticide residues mostly found in foods of 
animal origin. The greatest danger to the consumer is salmonella poisoning, a 
leading cause of food borne sickness. In 1992, the USDA estimated that 40 
percent of all poultry was contaminated with salmonella.[i]

       

          UN Senior Coordinator for Avian and Human Influenza, and special 
representative to the WHO Director General, Dr. David Nabarro, announced the 
arrival of the pandemic saying without hesitation, "Note that I said when, not 
if, the pandemic arrives." Of course the disaster waiting to happen is making 
medical officials push for completion of "enforcement measures," policies and 
procedures that would emphasize the use of quarantine, of force against 
populations. Medical officials are salivating discussing the need to have the 
police and the military available to control mass panic and the need for 
"incredibly efficient mass production" of a polyvalent influenza vaccines ready 
whether they work or not. Though medical officials at the conference indicated 
the necessity to "get people to understand the magnitude of the risk," what the 
public needs to be warned about is what these officials are hiding and why.  

       

          The H5N1 virus remains mainly a virus of birds, but experts fear it 
could change into a form easily transmitted from person to person and sweep the 
world, killing millions within weeks or months. Is there any evidence that the 
bird flu is such a threat to humans? There is no solid or even semi solid 
science that indicates that what is happening with the birds is going to happen 
with humans but that is not stopping health officials from scaring the wits out 
of the public. Whether or not the bird flu will occur in humans remains 
completely unknown but officials want to prepare for the end of human freedom 
anyway, just in case. 

       

      There are no lab tests to confirm the
       presence of the highly-pathogenic virus.

                                                                            Dr. 
Anna Thorson

       

           All we really have is a continuation of a fantasy about viruses that 
have never been proven to exist. Dr. Stefan Lanka, virologist and molecular 
biologist is just one of many voices that are smothered by the medical 
industrial establishment. There is one breathtaking fact for the public to deal 
with and that is not even one of the (medically relevant) viruses has ever been 
isolated; there is no proof of their existence. "So for a long time I studied 
virology, from the end to the beginning, from the beginning to the end, to be 
absolutely sure that there was no such thing as HIV. And it was easy for me to 
be sure about this because I realized that the whole group of viruses to which 
HIV is said to belong, the retroviruses -- as well as other viruses which are 
claimed to be very dangerous -- in fact do not exist at all," says Dr. Lanka. 

       

      Retroviruses are not living creatures but bits of
       protein that attach themselves to living cells.

       

          "For almost one year we have been asking authorities, politicians and 
medical institutes after the scientific evidence for the existence of such 
viruses that are said to cause disease and therefore require "immunization." 
After almost one year we have not received even one concrete answer which 
provides evidence for the existence of those "vaccination viruses," continues 
Lanka.

       

       



       

           The Airborne Menace is circling the world and is about to land in 
your backyard. Lanka says, "We're being asked to believe that migratory birds 
in Asia have been infected with an extremely dangerous, deadly virus. These 
mortally diseased birds then keep flying for weeks on end. They fly thousands 
of kilometres, and then in Romania, in Turkey, Greece and elsewhere infect 
hens, geese or other poultry, with which they have had no contact, and which 
within a very short time get diseased and die. But the migratory birds do not 
get diseased and do not die, but keep on flying, for weeks on end, thousands of 
kilometres. Anyone who believes this will also believe that babies are brought 
by the stork." 

       

           Actually we are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world 
has ever known and believe just about anything fed to us through the media, 
especially in the area of medicine. Our thoughts and attitudes are continually 
being shaped and molded by people who do not care for anything but the truth of 
money and the security it provides. It is clear that most issues of 
conventional medical wisdom are scientifically implanted in the public 
consciousness by thousands of media clips each year. 

       

           Just think about how many times you've heard an evening news anchor 
spit out some variation on the phrase, "According to experts ...." and we are 
supposed to trust them, naturally, that's what being an expert is all about, 
being trusted in ones individual field. In reality there are two kinds of 
"experts" in question -- the public relations spin doctors behind the scenes 
and the "independent" experts paraded before the public, scientists who have 
been hand-selected, cultivated, and paid handsomely to promote the views of 
corporations involved in controversial actions. 

       

           Therefore we have reached a watershed point, though medical and 
health officials are scratching their heads wondering what is going on and 
spend most of their time worrying about the flu and other infectious diseases 
when it is the non-infectious diseases that are threatening to bring 
civilization down. At the end of 2004, Klaus Stohr, of the WHO Global Influenza 
Program, said "Even with the best case scenario, the most optimistic scenario, 
the pandemic will cause a public health emergency with estimates which will put 
the number of deaths in the range of two and seven million. There is no reason 
to believe that we are going to be spared. An influenza pandemic will spare 
nobody. Every country will be affected".[ii] Transpose these words to read, 
"The current nightmare with mercury and other chemicals in the environment will 
spare nobody, every country and every person will be affected" and you will 
have a better approximation of the truth. 

       

           There is another nightmare though that might blindside humanity. Dr. 
Leonard Horowitz essay The Avian Flu Fright: Politically Timed for Global 
"Iatrogenocide"[iii] offers a whole other view of what might be going on. 
Biotechnology in the service of bioterroism and biological warfare is able to 
take simple proteins and retroviruses and turn them into lethal life forms that 
threaten humanity. Are these health officials merely front men for sinister 
forces dedicated to forceful population reductions? In Horowitz's essay it said 
America alone is "targeted" for a 50% population reduction. "Thus, the flu 
virus the world currently fears most is either: 1) now being prepared in labs 
paid by industrialists with massive wealth-building incentives to 
"accidentally" release the virus; or 2) has already been prepared in such labs 
to take advantage of this current fright and future sales following the virus's 
release." It's not only in the movies that dark forces rear up their
 incredible ugliness to face us with ourselves.   

       

          The repeated warnings of the United Nations and other authorities of 
an impending global epidemic of avian flu outbreaks have led over 60 countries 
to order large supplies of Tamiflu despite the fact that it has yet to prove 
its reliability at curing or stopping the H5N1 bird flu virus. This is good 
news for for U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has already cleared 
over $5 million in capital gains by selling some shares in Gilead Sciences, the 
biotechnology firm that developed the drug Tamiflu, while he was serving as a 
board-member for that enterprise reports an article in the London Independent.

       

           Dr. Lanka reminds us, "Those side effects which are noted on the 
instruction slips accompanying packages of Tamiflu are almost identical to the 
symptoms of serious influenza. Thus, on a large scale, medicines are now being 
stored which cause precisely the same symptoms as those which appear in an 
actual so-called influenza. If Tamiflu is administered to sick persons, then 
this is likely to cause far more serious symptoms than those of a serious 
influenza. If a pandemic is stated to exist, then many people will take this 
medicine at the same time. In that case we will actually have unequivocal 
symptoms of a Tamiflu epidemic. Then deaths caused by Tamiflu are to be 
expected, and this will then be presented as evidence of the dangerous nature 
of the bird flu." 

       

          "Agribusiness companies stand to reap huge gains in the event that 
scientists at Cambridge University and elsewhere are able to replace the entire 
world chicken population with genetically-engineered chicks allegedly resistant 
to H5N1 virus. Little-noticed beneficiaries of the current Avian Flu scare, 
however, are the giant agribusiness chicken producers based in the United 
States, who claim 'their' chickens are safe. Their sales are booming and all 
indications are that Avian Flu, paradoxically, has come like a Godsend to their 
corporate balance sheets," writes Global research Editor F. William Engdahl.

       

      Factory farms are actually the cause of killer diseases.



           The industrialization of chicken-raising and slaughtering in the 
USA, which is known as 'factory farming' is a process whose inner workings are 
unknown to most people. Better it remained so some say. Were we to know, we 
likely would never again eat chicken. Today, five giant multinational 
agribusiness companies dominate the production and processing of chicken meat 
in the United States, and, as things seem to be going, especially were the 
world to be looney enough to adopt genetically modified chickens supposedly 
resistant to Avian Flu virus, these five companies are about to dominate world 
chicken supply.

       

      During a 75-year lifetime, a typical U.S. resident is
       responsible for the suffering and death of 11 cows,
       32 pigs and sheep, 85 turkeys, 2,570 chickens and ducks.[iv]

       

           According to a recent report by VivaUSA, a non-profit organization 
investigating conditions in US factory farms, 'Thanks to genetic selection, 
feed, and being prevented from moving or getting any exercise on factory farms, 
chickens now grow to be much larger and to grow more quickly than ever before.' 
Broilers today need an average of 6 weeks before slaughter compared with 12 
weeks in the 1940's. 

       

      For modern animal agriculture, the less the consumer knows 
      about what's happing before the meat hits the plate, the better.
                                                                                
Dr. Peter R. Cheeke

                                                                                
                             Professor of Animal Science

                                                                                
                               Oregon State University

       

           The use of growth boosters has created major health problems in the 
huge factory farms. Because of hormone and vaccine injections to speed growth, 
muscle growth outstrips bone development and the chickens typically have leg 
and skeletal disorders that significantly affect their ability to walk. Unable 
to walk, they must sit in poor-quality litter, creating breast blisters or hock 
burns. According to one report, 'The dermatitis seen in such birds is painful 
in itself but the effects of inability to walk are much more severe.'

       

          Chicken organs are unable to keep up with their hyper growth rates, 
causing hearts or lungs to fail or malfunction, and creation of excess fluids 
in their bodies or death. Under special exemptions in US law, chickens are 
excluded from the protections of the federal Animal Welfare Act. The federal 
government sets no rules or standards for how these animals should be housed, 
fed, or treated on farms. 

       

          Chickens piled on top of one another in cramped cages filled with 
dirty bird feces and poor ventilation. Chickens to be fattened before they are 
slaughtered live in 23-hour daylight conditions. That makes a chicken believe 
that he has to keep eating. The light only goes out for one hour each day, in 
which the chicken is allowed to rest.

       

      If a human baby grew at the same rate that today's turkey grows, 
      when the baby reaches 18 weeks of age, it would weigh 1,500 pounds.

       

           In the race to fatten chickens for slaughter by 6-weeks-old and 
turkeys within 20 weeks, the birds endure "chronic pain for the last 20% of 
their lives," claims veterinary professor John Webster. In a PETA undercover 
investigation, broiler birds were found dehydrated and plagued with respiratory 
diseases, heat prostration, bacterial infections and cancer. Chicken and turkey 
flesh come from distressed animals with compromised immune systems. In Diet for 
a New America, author John Robbins claims 90% of factory-farmed chickens are 
infected with leukosis, or chicken cancer. 

       


      Molecular biologist Robert Silva and technician Cecyl Fischer inspect
       DNA sequences of samples from the most recent avian leukosis virus 
      sub-group J isolated from a U.S. broiler breeder flock.


           According to the USDA, in the past few years a new strain of avian 
leukosis virus has swept like wildfire through the broiler breeder chicken 
industry around the world. Various strains of the virus cause lymphoid tumors 
that grow from cells in the chicken's bursa, an organ near the end of its 
intestinal tract. The new strain causes predominantly myeloid tumors, which 
grow throughout the body, often on bone surfaces and it spreads like wildfire 
in chickens. The ALV-J strain renders the industry's detect-and-eradicate 
strategy useless. It is also highly variable, seeming to change constantly, and 
it spreads too fast. By the time it is detected and the infected birds are 
removed, it has already spread to other chickens.[v] Consider the conditions 
which prevail on factory farms, should we be surprised if disease is rampant? 

       

      With so many bugs associated with farm animals, is it
      any surprise that we are being poisoned by our food?

       

           Dr Walter Sontag, an Austrian zoologist who has studied the 
development of the H5N1 virus, and who concluded that the alarm about Bird Flu 
pandemic is vastly exaggerated, says, 'A high density (of birds) in a small 
space with defined food and water availability, and in addition, poor hygiene 
conditions promote an explosive spread of pathogenic germ cells.' Sontag goes 
on to point out that 'free-walking' chickens, in contrast to the 'jailed' 
factory farm birds, 'almost without exception keep a great distance from 
humans.' 

       

      Because of excessive use of antibiotics in the fodder
       used in industrial farming, we risk the creation of
       resistant strains of bacteria in factory farm animals.

       

           Dr. Maurice McKeown says, "Concern about chicken meat has in the 
past been focused on high levels of bacterial infection, the presence of growth 
hormones and antibiotic residues. The reality may be much worse however. USDA 
researchers have now found that chicken is the primary source of arsenic in the 
US diet, which is a cancer causing substance linked to a variety of important 
human cancers. Its presence in water in many regions of the world is a major 
health problem. It is arsenic in the inorganic form which is considered most 
dangerous." 

       

      "The mean concentration of total arsenic in young chickens was 0.39 ppm, 
3- to 4-fold higher than in other poultry and meat. At mean levels of chicken 
consumption (60 g/person/day), people may ingest 1.38-5.24 µg/day of inorganic 
arsenic from chicken alone. In people who consume the most chicken their daily 
intake could be 21.13-30.59 µg inorganic arsenic/day and 32.50-47.07 µg total 
arsenic/day from chicken." 

       

           Since the late 19th century, diseases of poultry in mass animal 
farming have been observed: Blue coloring of the crest, decrease in egg laying 
performance, sagging of the feathers, and sometimes these animals die too. 
These diseases were called bird pest. Now it's called bird flu! Animals respond 
the same way as humans do to being cooped up in concentration camps, they get 
sick and they die. Notice that health officials are not worried about animal 
concentration camps and all the health issues associated with them. Not a word 
is said about the obvious but waves of hysteria are created over small bits of 
protein that are not proven to be the actual root cause of what we are seeing. 

       

            So what did these 98 people die of? "Persons with symptoms of a 
cold, who then had the bad luck to fall into the hands of H5N1 hunters, were 
killed with enormous amounts of chemotherapy [chemical pharmaceuticals] 
supposed to restrain the phantom virus. Isolated in plastic tents, surrounded 
by madmen in space suits, they died, in panicky fear, from multiple organ 
failures," writes Dr. Lanka. Certainly these patients are not being given the 
appropriate nutritional support to help them weather the storm. 

       

      What is being used to prove viral existence are
       indirect test methods which tell absolutely nothing.
                                                                         Dr. 
Stefan Lanka

       

          The use of antibiotics continues to rise globally and use by poultry 
producers has risen by over 300% per bird since the 1980s. In the US alone, 
over 12,000 tons of antibiotics are used each year. With disease-causing 
organisms so prevalent on factory farms, it is not surprising that farmers have 
resorted to the widespread use of antibiotics. The routine use of antibiotics 
is particularly attractive to farmers as many of these substances have an 
as-yet poorly understood ability to promote the growth-rate of the animals to 
which they are administered. So farmers, in a desperate battle to contain the 
bug-explosion on factory farms, and in order to maximize profits by pushing 
growth rates ever faster and faster, are routinely dosing farm animals with a 
whole range of different types of antibiotics. But evidence is emerging that 
several of these antibiotics, used in vast quantities in farming, are 
jeopardizing the effectiveness of similar antibiotics vital in human medicine. 

       

           Just over a year ago the American Public Health Association called 
for a moratorium on the building of new industrial animal farms until more 
scientific data on their risks had been collected but world governments and 
health authorities focus only on H5N1 and its danger to humans without 
addressing in the least, the real source of the avian disease.   

       

           People tend to believe whatever they are told and that's the way it 
has become in modern medicine where doctors believe in many great lies, which 
they give blind faith to. Western allopathic medicine is pathetic in its 
unsighted belief in the virus, its pet demonic threat that is always ready to 
come down and strike us to death. It's the most successful scam in the history 
of the world, and they get eighty percent of the world to literally bow down, 
pull down their pants, and accept their immunization shots because they are the 
only solution to supposedly deadly viruses. 

       

           But you will never meet any person who can prove viruses to exist in 
dangerous forms, certainly not the retroviruses. Obviously something exists 
down on that level of reality. Protein bits, little junks of life, biological 
debris. "We live with an uncountable number of retroviruses. They're everywhere 
-- and they probably have been here as long as the human race," says Dr. Kary 
Mullis. Dr. Lanka adds, "It is being maintained that these short pieces of 
genetic material, which in the sense of genetics are not complete and which do 
not even suffice for defining a gene, together would make up the entire gene 
substance of an influenza virus."

       

            Samuel Jutzi, director of the United Nations Food and Agriculture 
Organisation Animal Production and Health Division advocates the use of 
vaccination in poultry even though what the chickens are dying from has 
probably much more to do with the horrific conditions they are forced to live 
with. That in their sickness they are demonstrating small protein clusters 
called retroviruses is insignificant to the tremendous environmental terrorism 
they are forced to endure. But health officials will have their way. More 
millions will be made in vaccine sales and nothing will change for chickens and 
the poisoned meat (arsenic, bacteria, hormones, antibiotic residues etc.) that 
comes to our plates.  

       

          In February 2006, southern Russia was hit by a second wave of bird 
flu that killed over a million birds. No human cases have been registered. 
Vaccination has begun in Daghestan and Stavropol Territory, another southern 
region, where about 260,000 fowls have already been inoculated. Some 8 million 
doses of the vaccine have been delivered to southern Russia. We read a report 
like this in a newspaper and take it as fact; bird flu is killing these birds 
but is it?

       
(GOOD NEWS)
           The viral story hit the mainstream this month when Harper Magazine 
(March 2006 issue) ran a 13 page article titled "Out of Control: AIDS and the 
Corruption of Medical Science," which focused much attention on Dr. Peter 
Duesberg, a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of 
California, Berkeley, and a leading AIDS dissident. 

       

       

       

      The orthodox view of HIV as a direct killer of
       human immune cells has been thrown out. 
      How could HIV kill so many T cells if one could not
       detect significant numbers of free HIV in a patient's blood?
                                                                                
              Dr. Peter Duesberg

       

           Dr. Deusberg insists that there is no proof that HIV causes AIDS, 
and he is in a position to know. There are many hefty scientists and medical 
people around the world who do not believe a word from the CDC on AIDS.[vi] 
Most people do not know that it is almost impossible to isolate live virus from 
AIDS patients; a crucial point that Duesberg has been making for almost ten 
years. "Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is not the cause of AIDS because it 
fails to meet the postulates of Koch and Henle, as well as six cardinal rules 
of virology," wrote Deusberg in HIV Is Not the Cause of AIDS.[vii]

       

          When it comes to Hepatitis B they have gone after the babies of the 
world.  Injecting new born babies with mercury for some illusionary viral 
danger that 99.9 percent are not at risk for is more than a bad idea. True 
medical insanity was born on this one. We live in an insane medical world and 
90 percent of the people don't know it. Medical religion is the new religion of 
the world and there are more alters to it than the church ever had. 

       

           Almost all of us believe in the terror of viruses and buy into the 
fear the medical industrial complex insists we should have about them. If they 
say so it must be so. When it comes to avian flu we have a massive cover up of 
a food production system that rivals in every way the death camps of Nazi 
Germany. We are merely witnessing the beginning of the end of a way of life 
that insults life. One way or another we will pay dearly for our mistakes and 
nowhere is this more true than when it comes to what we are doing with the food 
supply. We are allowing industry to poison us but are being mislead to fear 
something else. The simple fact that health officials are not warning us of the 
real danger speaks miles about the trust we should put in them about their 
warning of viral infections.

      [vi] Through the years the CDC added new diseases to the grand AIDS 
definition. The CDC has virtually doctored the books to make it appear as if 
the disease continues to spread. In 1993, for example, the CDC enormously 
broadened its AIDS definition. This was happily accepted by county health 
authorities, who receive $2,500 from the feds per year under the Ryan White Act 
for every reported AIDS case.

      [vii] Duesberg, Peter H.Science, Vol. 241, pp. 514-517, July 29, 1988: 1) 
HIV is in violation of Koch's first postulate because it is not possible to 
detect free virus (1, 2), provirus (3-5), or viral RNA (4, 6, 7) in all cases 
of AIDS. Indeed, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has established 
guidelines to diagnose AIDS when all laboratory evidence for HIV is negative 
(8). 

          2) In violation of Koch's second postulate, HIV cannot be isolated 
from 20 to 50% of AIDS cases (1, 9-11). Moreover, "isolation" is very indirect. 
It depends on activating dormant provirus in millions of susceptible cells 
propagated in vitro away from the suppressive immune system of the host. 

          3) In violation of Koch's third postulate, pure HIV does not 
reproduce AIDS when inoculated into chimpanzees or accidentally into healthy 
humans (9, 12, 13). 

          4) In contrast to all pathogenic viruses that cause degenerative 
diseases, HIV is not biochemically active in the disease syndrome it is named 
for (14). It actively infects only 1 in 104 to > 105 T cells (4, 6, 7, 15). 
Under these conditions, HIV cannot account for the loss of T cells, the 
hallmark of AIDS, even if all infected cells died. This is because during the 2 
days it takes HIV to replicate, the body regenerates about 5% of its T cells 
(16), more than enough to compensate for losses due to HIV. 

          5) It is paradoxical that HIV is said to cause AIDS only after the 
onset of antiviral immunity, detected by a positive "AIDS test," because all 
other viruses are most pathogenic before immunity. The immunity against HIV is 
so effective that free virus is undetectable (see point 1), which is why HIV is 
so hard to transmit (9, 12, 13). The virus would be a plausible cause of AIDS 
if it were reactivated after an asymptomatic latency, like herpes viruses. 
However, HIV remains inactive during AIDS. Thus the "AIDS test" identifies 
effective natural vaccination, the ultimate protection against viral disease. 

          6) The long and highly variable intervals between the onset of 
antiviral immunity and AIDS, averaging 8 years, are bizarre for a virus that 
replicates within 1 to 2 days in tissue culture and induces antiviral immunity 
within 1 to 2 months after an acute infection (9, 17). Since all genes of HIV 
are active during replication, AIDS should occur early when HIV is active, not 
later when it is dormant. Indeed, HIV can cause a mononucleosis-like disease 
during the acute infection, perhaps its only pathogenic potential (9, 17). 

          7) Retroviruses are typically not cytocidal. On the contrary, they 
often promote cell growth. Therefore, they were long considered the most 
plausible viral carcinogens (9). Yet HIV, a retrovirus, is said to behave like 
a cytocidal virus, causing degenerative disease killing billions of T cells 
(15, 18). This is said even though T cells grown in culture, which produce much 
more virus than has ever been observed in AIDS patients, continue to divide (9, 
10, 18). 

          8) It is paradoxical for a virus to have a country-specific host 
range and a risk group-specific pathology. In the United States, 92% of AIDS 
patients are male (19), but in Africa AIDS is equally distributed between the 
sexes, although the virus is thought to have existed in Africa not much longer 
than in the United States (20). In the United States, the virus is said to 
cause Kaposi's sarcoma only in homosexuals, mostly Pneumocystis pneumonia in 
hemophiliacs, and frequently cytomegalovirus disease in children (21). In 
Africa the same virus is thought to cause slim disease, fever, and diarrhea 
almost exclusively (22, 23). 

          9) It is now claimed that at least two viruses, HIV-1 and HIV-2, are 
capable of causing AIDS, which allegedly first appeared on this planet only a 
few years ago (20). HIV-1 and HIV-2 differ about 60% in their nucleic acid 
sequences (24). Since viruses are products of gradual evolution, the 
proposition that within a few years two viruses capable of causing AIDS could 
have evolved is highly improbable (25).
