[Ugnet] The #1 House Negro Anti-African Lies of the BBC
Arrogant Powell And Lying BBCOpinion by Owei Lakemfa, Vanguard, 7 June 2001COLIN Powell, retired American general and hiscountry's Secretary of State was visiting Africa whenthe continent on May 26 declared the African Union. Onthe day of the Union, the British BroadcastingCorporation (BBC) made two pointed pieces of falsehoodits lead report. The evolution of the African Union could not beignored. Yet it was an unsettling event for those whohave for decades used us as their footmats, as theirsources of cheap raw materials, free labour andplayground. So the event had to be reported and the BBC found away around it; to misrepresent it and hopefully leadthe attack on the African Union. The BBC reported thatan African Union is being created but that it is thebrain child of Libya's Mouamar Ghaddafi who is tryingto pass himself off as a Pan Africanist. The Britonsadded that the African Union is loosely structured onthe European Union (EU) model. These are pieces of falsehood and I shall proceed toexpose them as such. But it is necessary to point outthat the attempt here is first to portray Africans asidiots incapable of arriving at the need for unity andare therefore being pushed by Ghaddafi a man the Westand U.S have strenuously tried over the years todemonise. The hope of the BBC propagators is that oncethe Union is linked with Ghaddafi, many Africans willoppose it and the new unity will therefore collapse. Is the African Union a Ghaddafi project? Of coursenot! The calls for a Union of Africa dates back to the19th century when Britain and its European Firstcousins despoiled Africa and continuously raped her,stripping the continent of her gold and naturalresources, her priceless lands and precious humanlabour. As it happened in all cases of greed and banditry, theEuropeans started fighting amongst themselves over theloot that was Africa. To bring some order and honourin the looting, the Europeans met in Berlin, Germanyfrom 1884 to 1885 to agree on how best to despoilAfrica without the bandits going to war amongstthemselves. One of the most strident voices against this wasMarcus Garvey who worked for the establishment of aunion of African States with a central government,economy, social services and defence. That was back inthe 1920s, long before Ghaddaffi was born. Two decades before this, moves for Africanindependence and union was made by the Pan AfricanCongresses which began in 1900. In the 1950s when Ghaddafi was a teenager, KwameNkrumah had already become known as the champion ofAfrican Union. Nkrumah suggested that an African Union capital beestablished either in Bangui, Central African Republicor in Leopoldville in Congo. He also offered to stepdown as Ghana's president and serve under any leaderor leaders the African Union government throws up. Neither Ghadaffi nor any African leader has gone atenth as far as Nkrumah did. So it is an insult foranybody to claim that the African Union is a brainchild of Ghaddafi. So is the new African Union modelled after the EU? Ofcourse not! Again, men like Nkrumah had in the early1960s suggested both a Union Government and apresidium to run it, a common Market for Africa, AnAfrican Currency, African Monetary Zone, AfricanCentral Bank, a continental communication system,common Foreign Policy and Diplomacy, Common Defenceand Common African Citizenship. The danger Africansface is not so much that the BBC and other tools ofworld control would continue to misinform our people,the real danger is in allowing these radio andtelevision stations direct access to our FM bands andlocal television stations. We cannot have AfricanUnion without addressing this cultural recolonisationof our continental airwaves. Powell is a lesser issue. He was in Africa visitingSouth Africa, Uganda, Kenya and Mali. In South Africahe targeted two African presidents for attack. Heinsulted Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe accusing him ofstaying too long in power and threatened him. Mugabewith a 21-year stay in power can trully be said to beoverstaying but Powell's attack is based on Americanperception that Mugabe is an enemy. This can be borneout of the fact that he did not make a similarcriticism of president Arap Moi when he visited Kenya,yet Moi who had been Kenyan Vice President has beenpresident since 1978, two years before Mugabe waselected prime Minister. Secondly Powell did notsimilarly attack Yoweri Museveni when he visitedUganda despite the fact that the former has beenpresident since January 1986. What is more, unlikeMugabe who presides in a multiparty Zimbabwe, Musevenidoes not allow a single political party to function inUganda. In any case, what are the democratic credentials ofPowell? That he is serving in a government that riggedthe American elections? Powell attacked President Thabo Mbeki of South Africafor linking AIDS and poverty. But the truth is thatAIDS is attacking pour countries more. Our AIDSpatients are denied
[Ugnet] A SISTER WHO IS USELESS FOR AFRICA
Netters, If this remarkable Saddam-slamming, war-mongering,Soviet-defeating, German-Unifying sister ever saysanything intelligent, or of any significancewhatsoever, about Africa...I will be grateful ifsomeone could then wake me up immediately to informme. I am still waiting for that day...with greatanticipation...in the meantime, she is as useful toAfrica, as ant-piss is in putting out a forest fire. CONDI's BIOGRAPHYRice was born in Birmingham, Alabama, as an only childto Angelena Rice and the Reverend John Wesley Rice,Jr. Her father became a minister at WestminsterPresbyterian Church and her mother was a musicteacher. Both her parents were university professors.In 1967, the family moved to Denver when her fatheraccepted the position of Vice Chancellor at theUnivesity of Denver. Her name is a variation on theItalian musical term "con dolcezza" which is adirection to play "with sweetness". She was born the same year as the landmark Brown v.Board of Education decision. Rice was eight when herschoolmate Denise McNair was killed in the bombing ofthe Black Sixteenth Street Baptist Church by whitesupremacists on September 15, 1963. Rice states herchildhood during segregation taught her determinationagainst adversity, and the need to be "twice as good"as non-minorities Education:After studying piano at an Aspen music camp, Riceenrolled and at 15, began attending classes at theUniversity of Denver with the goal of becoming aconcert pianist. Her plans changed when she attended acourse on international politics taught by JosefKorbel, the father of former Secretary of State,Madeleine Albright, that sparked her interest in theSoviet Union and international relations, leading herto call Korbel "one of the most central figures in mylife".At 19, Rice earned her bachelor's degree in politicalscience, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from theUniversity of Denver in 1974. In 1975, she obtainedher master's degree from the University of Notre Dame,and in 1981 she received her Ph.D. from the GraduateSchool of International Studies at the University ofDenver. In addition to English, she speaks Russian,French, and Spanish.Academic career:At Stanford University, Rice is a tenured Professor ofPolitical Science, Senior Fellow of the Institute forInternational Studies, and a Fellow (by courtesy) ofthe Hoover Institution. From 1993 to 1999 she servedas the Stanford Provost. Rice held the position ofprovost before stepping down on July 1, 1999. In June2003, Rice delivered the commencement address atStanford.Rice is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts andSciences and has been awarded honorary doctorates fromMorehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabamain 1994, the University of Notre Dame in 1995, theMississippi College School of Law in 2003, theUniversity of Louisville and Michigan State Universityin 2004.Political career:From 1989 through March 1991 (the period of the fallof Berlin wall and the final days of the SovietUnion), she served in the George H. W. BushAdministration as Director, and then Senior Director,of Soviet and East European Affairs in the NationalSecurity Council, and a Special Assistant to thePresident for National Security Affairs. In thisfunction, Condoleezza Rice was part of developing thestrategy of President Bush and Secretary of StateJames Baker in favor of German reunification. She soimpressed President Bush that he introduced her toSoviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev as the one who "tellsme everything I know about the Soviet Union."In 1996, while an international affairs fellow of theCouncil on Foreign Relations, she served as SpecialAssistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff. In 1997, she served on the Federal AdvisoryCommittee on Gender-Integrated Training in theMilitary.Rice was a member of the board of directors for theChevron Corporation (which named an oil tankerCondoleezza Rice after her, later renamed AltairVoyager due to controversy) and headed its committeeon public policy until she resigned on January 15,2001, to become National Security Advisor.During George W. Bush's election campaign in 2000,Rice took a one-year leave of absence from universityto work as George W. Bush's foreign policy advisor. OnDecember 17, 2000, Rice was picked to serve asNational Security Advisor and stepped down from herposition at Stanford.Business career:Rice has served on the board of directors for theChevron Corporation, the Charles Schwab Corporation,the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, theUniversity of Notre Dame, the International AdvisoryCouncil of J.P.

Cock refuses to be slaughtered, talks MUKONO Shock gripped residents of Misindye village, Goma sub-county when a cock spoke and refused to be slaughtered, writes Joel Ogwang. An unknown resident reportedly abandoned the cock at the sub-county headquarters where it stayed for four days before Sekagya picked it and kept it at his home. He allegedly sold it to another resident at sh5,000 on Friday before Christmas day. The resident returned the cock, saying he was scared of slaughtering a cock possed by evil spirits. Sekagya refunded the money but was not satisfied with the mans explanation. On Monday evening, Sekagya tried to slaughter the cock but was scared even more by a strange human voice coming from its throat. This time, it threatened to kill any one who killed or ate its flesh. The cock spoke in Luganda, saying any one who slaughtered or ate its flesh would die, Sekagya said at his home. He said the cock had refused to leave his home and that whenever he took it and dumped it far away from his home, it came back. He also said it kept following him wherever he went. Sekagya has reportedly contacted leading traditional healers in the village but they failed to kill the cock. By press time, the strange cock was still tied to a long rope in Sekagyas home.

[Ugnet] debunking (2)
Where did Gallo's new virus come from? In the prestigious journal Science (Jan 4, 1985) it was reported that Gallo's AIDS virus was most closely related to "slow viruses" (lentiviruses) found in sheep and goats, particularly the visna virus in sheep, which causes pneumonia, neurologic changes, and wasting. However, Gallo declared that his virus was not visna virus, but might be "another animal viruses coming into man...and this means we have to look more closely at these animals as models and these types of animal viruses. No one knows if the viruses could have stemmed from a common viral ancestor hundreds or thousands of years ago, or if a virus moved between species only decades ago from human exposure to the virus of sheep or goats." The idea that HIV was "closely related" to the sheep visna virus did not last long. The idea of a sheep virus infecting gay men would have undoubtedly aroused suspicion because the only place one could find visna was in research labs where visna virus had been seeded and "adapted" into various animal species, as well as into human cells, for the two decades prior to the "gay plague." Gallo, with the help of veterinarian Max Essex of Harvard, convinced the AIDS experts and the adoring media that AIDS came from green monkeys. In Gallo's book Virus Hunting [1991], he claims that in 1983 (a year before his discovery) Ann Giudici Fettner, a free-lance journalist who had lived in Africa, told him that the virus came from green monkeys in central Africa. In 1983 the African connection to AIDS was tenuous, and in Fettner's 1984 book, The Truth About AIDS, she never mentioned green monkeys and the African origin of AIDS. In fact, on page 44, she emphatically states: "AIDS started as an American disease." There are no scientific papers which uphold the green monkey theory. The monkey out of Africa theory lasted until the late 1990s when another group of American scientists claimed the virus definitely originated in a specific species of chimpanzee found in Africa. The green monkey theory was scientifically doomed from the very start, although that apparently did not phase the scientists who undoubtedly wanted to place the blame on the dark continent -- and take the origin of HIV out of Manhattan, where the first cases were discovered in 1979, and push the origin to the other side of the world. The Marriage of Cancer Research and Biowarfare in 1971 Whatever the theoretical origin of HIV/AIDS, there is no doubt that the epidemic started a decade after scientists began "adapting" massive numbers of cancer-causing and immunosuppressive animal viruses and transferring them between various animal species in an attempt to experimentally produce cancer in the laboratory. In the process of these "species-jumping" experiments, the scientists mixed viruses together, seeded them into the bodies of various animal species, and planted them into animal and human cell cultures. In the process myriads of new, laboratory-created mutant, hybrid and recombinant viruses were created, some of which were exceedingly dangerous. These engineered and deadly viruses were obviously of interest to biowarfare scientists. Donald A MacArthur stated in Congressional testimony in 1969 that "molecular biology is a field that is advancing very rapidly and eminent biologists believe that within a period of 5 to 10 years it would be possible to produce a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not exist naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired." The dangers provoked by all these laboratory-created new virus were well known. At a symposium on leukemia research in 1973, Danish pathologist J Clemmesen warned that the transmissibility of these genetically -altered viral agents could cause a world epidemic of cancer if they escaped from the laboratory. (Gallo has publicly stated AIDS is an epidemic of cancer.) That same year cancer virologists convened at a conference entitled "Biohazards in Biological Research" at Asilomar, California. Despite the risks, it was decided to continue perilous animal cancer virus experimentation. People are often surprised to find there is a close relationship between traditional cancer virus research and biological warfare programs and experimentation. However, it is a fact that in 1971 President Richard Nixon, as part of his War On Cancer, combined the U.S. Army's biowarfare department at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, with the National Cancer Institute. The army's DNA and genetic engineering programs were coordinated into anti-cancer research and molecular biology programs. This marriage also cemented the governmental ties of cancer research to the CIA, the CDC, the World Health Organization, and private industry. During this same period the Special Virus Cancer Program (1968-1980), now largely and conveniently forgotten, was established to coordinate the search
[Ugnet] DEBUNKING 5 (The End)
The Origin of AIDS Conference, London, 2000 In October 2000 the Royal Society of London held a two-day conference on the origins of HIV. Needless to say, the man-made theory was not discussed. One professor emphatically declared: "All human infectious diseases have an animal origin." Hooper's polio theory was totally discredited; and Hahn's new chimp theory, dating HIV back to the 1930s, was acclaimed. The "Last Word" at the conference was that "all human viral infections were initially zoonotic (animal) in origin. Animals will always provide a reservoir for viruses that could threaten human populations in the future." The scientists predicted: "There is still a myriad of current unknown viruses in animal populations on land, sea, and air with the potential to cause human disease." But what about the millions of dangerous virus created in animal laboratories? That was never considered. A person cannot contract AIDS from a monkey or chimp In the July 2000 issue of Lancet, virologist and primatologist Preston Marx states: "There is no evidence that a person can contract AIDS from a monkey or chimpanzee". According to Marx, research shows humans were infected with SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus) in Africa and that these SIV infections were the root origin of HIV. Therefore SIV is the monkey ancestor virus of HIV. And Marx has no doubt that HIV originated from SIV in African non-human primates. AIDS educators often claim that AIDS is a "zoonosis", meaning a disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans, but Marx says this assumption is incorrect. AIDS as a zoonosis would mean that humans had contracted not only an SIV infection from a monkey or a chimp, but that they also eventually became sick with AIDS from the monkey virus infection. We have not established that AIDS is a zoonosis (meaning a disease people catch from monkeys). He further declares "We do not know what launches animal viruses to become epidemic in humans. There may be a social, viral-genetic or immunologic basis for new epidemics. We do not have this answer for the AIDS epidemic, but we do know that HIV originated from simian species." In a more recent October 2004 article "AIDS as a zoonosis? Confusion over the origin of the virus and the origin of the epidemic", Marx and his colleagues further speculate that HIV (derived from a primate) in the 1950s in Africa could have been made more dangerous and transmissible by dirty needles used in vaccine programs, as well as contaminated blood transfusions. The repeated passage from human-to-human (so called "serial passage") via SIV virus-contaminated needles could have transformed a harmless SIV in humans to the deadly and genetically-changed HIV virus causing AIDS. Human exposure to SIV is thousands of years old, but AIDS merged only in the 20th century. Marx never suggests that contaminated vaccines, rather than needles, could have initiated the African epidemic. However, if AIDS does not qualify as a zoonosis, I interpret this to mean that Hahn's "cut hunter theory" could not account for the explosion of HIV/AIDS in Africa in the 1980s. Finally, Marx's team suggests that more "research is needed to understand the processes by which animal viruses cause sustained human-to-human transmission, epidemics and even pandemics. Much is known about emerging viruses, but almost nothing is known about emerging viral diseases." WHO Murdered Africa? Apparently forgotten, ignored, or unknown by Marx was a similar vaccine and needle scenario reported on May 11, 1987, on the front-page of The London Times, entitled "Smallpox vaccine triggered AIDS virus." Science editor Pierce Wright suggested that African AIDS was a direct result of the World Health Organization's smallpox eradication program conducted in the 1970s. The smallpox vaccine allegedly awakened a "dormant" AIDS virus infection in the black population. Gallo was quoted as saying, "The link between the WHO program and the epidemic is an interesting and important hypothesis. I cannot say that it actually happened, but I have been saying for some years that the use of live vaccines such as that used for smallpox can activate a dormant infection such as HIV (the AIDS virus)." The Times report is one of the most important stories ever printed on the AIDS epidemic; yet the story was killed and never appeared in any major U.S. newspaper or magazine. However, the report is widely circulated on the internet as evidence to suggest that AIDS appeared in Africa via accidental or deliberate vaccine contamination with the AIDS virus. (Google: WHO murdered Africa). Kenyan ecologist and biologist Wangari Maathai was obviously aware of this vaccine connection when she won the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2004, and shocked reporters by claiming the AIDS virus was a deliberately created biological agent developed by evil-minded scientists and released in Africa
[Ugnet] DEBUNKING THE AIDS OUT OF AFRICA CRAP (ONE)
Debunking The Out Of Africa Origin Of HIV AIDS The Greatest Conspiracy Story Ever ToldBy Alan Cantwell © 2005 Alan Cantwell, M.D. 1-1-5 AIDS is now more than a quarter-century old. The disease has killed 20 million people worldwide, and it is estimated that 40 million more are infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), the virus that causes AIDS. Ask your physician where AIDS came from and he or she will probably tell you the epidemic started when monkeys or chimps in the African bush transferred the AIDS virus (HIV) to a person while butchering primate meat for food or through an animal bite. For the first two decades of the epidemic the green monkey theory of AIDS was widely heralded in the major media, and was accepted without question by leading AIDS experts and educators. The theory was so universally popular (except in Africa) that it easily became fact in the minds of most people. Robert Gallo, M.D., and the Green Monkey Theory The AIDS virus was first discovered by Robert Gallo at the National Cancer Institute in April 1984. Shortly thereafter Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in Paris claimed that he (and not Gallo) had first discovered the AIDS virus. A bitter lawsuit followed, which was finally settled privately in 1987 through the intervention of the French Premier and President Ronald Reagan. To this day, the two 'co-discoverers' of HIV continue to disagree about the origin of HIV and the birthplace of AIDS. In Montagnier's book, Virus (2000), he states: "The origin of the epidemic remains a mystery, and the virus seems older than the epidemic" and "it is important to distinguish between the origins of the virus and that of the (AIDS) epidemic." The scientific scandal provoked by Gallo's "stealing" the virus from the French, as well as the ensuing government investigations into allegations of scientific irregularities and falsification of data in Gallo's lab, undoubtedly is the reason both scientists have never received a Nobel Prize for their discovery of HIV. A highly unsympathetic account of this scientific mess is provided by Pulitzer prize-winning author John Crewdson in, Science Fictions; A Scientific Mystery, A Massive Cover-Up, and the Dark Legacy of Robert Gallo (2002). Because Gallo is the most powerful and influential AIDS scientist, his views on the origin of HIV/AIDS have become gospel. He first called his AIDS virus the "human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus" because he believed it was closely related to newly discovered cancer-causing retroviruses. The virus was quickly renamed human T-cell lymphotropic virus-3 (HTLV-3), perhaps to obscure the connection of the AIDS virus to laboratory cancer viruses, and to downplay any association between cancer (which is thought to be non-contagious) and AIDS (which is definitely a sexually-transmitted disease). Cancer Bacteria in Kaposi's sarcoma. Arrows point to cancer microbes magnified 1000 times in a skin tumor of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma in a 52 year-old, black, bisexual man. The tissue section is stained with Giemsa stain. In the insert are bacteria cultured from the KS tumor and identified as Staphylococcus epidermidis (same magnification). Note how the size and shape of the variably-sized round (coccus) forms of the bacteria are identical in size and shape to the bacteria seen in the KS cancer tumor. These bacteria in Kaposi's are similar to bacteria reported in enlarged lymph nodes in AIDS, as well as in other AIDS-damaged tissue. Similar bacteria have also been observed and reported in other forms of cancer, such as lymphoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and others. The finding of similar bacteria in both cancer and AIDS suggest a close relationship between these two diseases. Robert Gallo, M.D. says AIDS is an epidemic of cancer. In the 1970s the knowledge achieved by the study of cancer retroviruses helped lead to the discovery of the AIDS virus in 1984. Unfortunately, the presence of "cancer microbes" in cancer and AIDS has been totally ignored by the medical establishment. The Mulindwas Communication Group"With Yoweri Museveni,
[Ugnet] DEBUNKING 3
Is it "conspiracy theory" to question whether a virus "closely related" to HIV was created in any of the many laboratories contributing to the Special Virus Cancer Program and its connection to biowarfare research during the 1970s? Could covert human testing of classified biowarfare agents explain the exclusive "introduction" of HIV into gay men, the most hated minority in America, via the government-sponsored experimental hepatitis B experiments that began in Manhattan in New York City in 1978 -- the year before the onset of the "gay plague." The American Origin of AIDS in 1979 In 1979 the first young white gay men to come down with "gay-related immunodeficiency disease" was reported to the CDC. For the first year of the epidemic all the men were from Manhattan. They were all defined as young, predominantly white, previously healthy, well-educated and promiscuous. The Manhattan men were similar in profile to the 1,083 gay men who signed up for the hepatitis B experiment conducted at the New York Blood Center, also located in Manhattan. The experimental vaccine was developed in chimpanzees. The injections began in November 1978, and were concluded a year later. Similar vaccine experiments in gay men were undertaken in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis and Chicago, beginning in March 1980 and continued until October 1981, a few months after the epidemic had become "official." (For more details, google: the hepatitis B vaccine experiment.) AIDS became official in the U.S. in June 1981. At the time AIDS was unknown in Africa, and the epidemic did not begin there until autumn 1982 at the earliest. After Gallo discovered HIV in April 1984, an HIV blood test was developed and was used on the stored gay blood specimens deposited at the Center as part of the ongoing experiment and follow-up. In 1980, a year before the epidemic became official, already 20% of the men's blood in the experiment were HIV-positive. By 1983, 30% of the men were positive; by 1984, 40%. AIDS scientists repeatedly claim HIV was lurking in Africa for decades, centuries, even millennia, before the epidemic. But there was no "incubation period" in America. As soon as large numbers of gay people came out of the closet and signed up for government experiments, the gay community was doomed. Not only was one virus (HIV) "introduced" into the homosexual population, but two additional "mycoplasma" bacteria-like agents and a new herpes virus as well. In addition, I wrote in books and medical journals that "cancer-causing bacteria" were also operative in AIDS, but all my research linking AIDS to cancer remains ignored by the AIDS establishment. (For full details and 458 citations: google: "alan cantwell" +bacteria +AIDS.) "Gay Cancer": A mystery wrapped in an enigma Three years before HIV was discovered, my research uncovering bacteria in Kaposi's sarcoma was published. KS became widely known as the "gay cancer" associated with AIDS. In the late 1970s, as a dermatologist, I studied the cancerous tissue of three elderly, presumably straight married men with KS, a very rare skin cancer that few physicians had ever seen. I identified bacteria in the cancerous tissue; and bacteria were cultured from skin biopsies. When the first gay men with KS appeared in my office, I studied their skin tumors for bacteria. A PUBMED computer search lists 7 of my research papers published in medical journals between the years 1981-1986 showing bacteria in the KS lesions of straight and gay men with KS and AIDS, in the enlarged lymph nodes of "AIDS-related complex", and in two autopsy studies showing bacteria in the internal organs of a straight man who died of KS before the epidemic, and a gay man who died of KS and AIDS. My bacterial research showed a close relationship of AIDS to cancer. This research is included in my books, AIDS:The Mystery the Solution (1984), and The Cancer Microbe (1990). When Gallo was asked about my KS research in a published interview by James D'Eramo in 1984, he ignored the question. When asked why only homosexuals were the first victims of AIDS, he replied: "Because they were exposed." To this day Gallo and Montagnier refuse to acknowledge any aspect of this research. In 1993, Shyh-Ching Lo of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology reported the finding of 2 different infectious agents in the blood, urine and KS tumors of AIDS patients. At first, he thought the microbes were viruses, but later determined they were actually very small forms of bacteria called "mycoplasmas." After Lo's discovery, the Army quickly took out patents on his infectious agents, which he calls Mycoplasma fermentens and M. penetrans. My KS research was never mentioned in any of his papers.

In 1994, a new infectious and sexually-transmitted herpes virus called "human herpes virus-8" was proclaimed to be the agent causing all pre-AIDS and AIDS-related KS. This virus is now widely accepted as the sole cause. I thought it rather strange that there was never any evidence that KS was transmissible before AIDS, and that a "new" virus could cause a rare cancerous disease that has been around since the 1870s. Montagnier thinks mycoplasmas might be a necessary "co-factor" which accelerates the progression of HIV infection in AIDS patients. He also believes antibiotic therapy along with antiviral therapy is better treatment for AIDS. Where did these new mycoplasmas come from? Where did HIV come from? Offering homophobic explanations and no evidence in his Virus book, the French virologist theorizes that American gay tourists brought back these agents from Africa to the U.S. Evidence of blood infection with the new KS human herpes virus-8 is now present in as many as 40% of men with prostate cancer. In Texas, 15% of normal blood donors now test positive for the virus. This means the virus is in the American blood supply; and blood is not screened for the virus. Where did the "new" herpes virus come from? A "close relative" is the Herpes saimiri virus of squirrel monkeys, a virus that was extensively passed around in the Special Virus Cancer Program. Chimpanzees and the Polio Vaccine Theory of AIDS In 1999 the publication of The River: A Journey to the Source of HIV and AIDS, by journalist Edward Hooper, received widespread media attention. Hooper theorizes that HIV was introduced into Africans via chimp virus-contaminated polio vaccine programs in the late 1950s. His massive book does not adequately explain why it took 30 years for the epidemic to appear in Africa, nor how a sexually-transmitted disease in black Africans in the early 1980s could have transformed itself into a white gay man's disease in New York City in the late 1970s. Furthermore, there are no HIV-positive tissue or blood specimens from Africa from the 1960s and 1970s, and no proven cases of AIDS either, to indicate HIV was "incubating" in the African population. Hooper quickly dismisses the claims of Robert Strecker, the first physician whistle-blower of man-made AIDS, as well as the man-made research in my own two books on the man-made origin: AIDS The Doctors of Death, and Queer Blood. By predating his polio vaccine theory back to the late 1950s, Hooper greatly simplified his theory of AIDS origin. He ignores all the primate/simian viruses that were placed into human tissue in the 60s and 70s, and all those genetically altered viruses for cancer research, vaccine research, and secret biological warfare. The chimp in the freezer at Fort Detrick On February 1, 1999 Lawrence K Altman, M.D, longtime AIDS-writer for The New York Times, dutifully reported "the riddle of the origin of the AIDS virus has apparently been solved." A team of researchers, headed by Beatrice Hahn at the University of Alabama, performed viral studies on three chimps in the African wild and studied the frozen remains of a chimp, discovered by accident in a freezer at the Army's biowarfare center at Fort Detrick. The chimp had tested positive for HIV in 1985. On the basis of this research, Hahn declared that a common subspecies of chimp (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) was the animal source of the virus "most closely" related to HIV. In a media blitz U.S. government scientists presented a phylogenetic ancestral "family tree" of primate viruses (which few people could understand) to prove that HIV was genetically descended from a chimp virus in the African bush. Hahn theorizes the epidemic could have started when a hunter became infected by cutting himself while butchering chimp meat. Back in the 1980s Hahn worked in Gallo's lab, and like Gallo she ignores the entire history of animal cancer virus laboratory transfers in the decades preceding AIDS, as well as the fact that chimp kidneys were transplanted into humans back in the 1960s in New York City. Another big problem is that after scientists pump viruses into captive lab chimps in laboratories in the U.S. and Africa, they sometimes release them back into the wild. Obviously, the mix of lab animal viruses with viruses in the wild make the determination of viral "ancestry" somewhat iffy. AIDS scientists totally accepted Hahn's notion that HIV jumped species from chimps to humans back in the 1930s to start the epidemic. The media again explained this was the first time that primate viruses had jumped species "naturally," again failing to mention all the millions of people around the world who had the primate/simian SV40 virus injected into them along with their polio shot. How accurate and meaningful is the ancestry of all these animal retroviruses? Do words used by scientists to compare different viruses, such as "closely
[Ugnet] Fwd: President's speech that undid the latest peace initiative
This is vintage Museveni. Just as everything is going so well, whoops. He yanks out the rug from underneath the peace initiative. __ Too much foreign aid not good, says President Museveni By Emma Mutaizibwa, Jude Lugya Solomon Muyita Jan 2, 2005 KAMPALA Politicians yesterday exppressed varied feelings about President Museveni's New Year address to the nation, with most faulting him on his hard stance toward the peace effort in northern Uganda and failure to rein in poverty. In his Friday night speech, Museveni ordered the Lord's Resistance Army rebels to quit the bush or face a full-scale attack by the army. The operations will not cease ever again until the Kony group irreversibly commit themselves to coming out of the bush, Museveni said. The President's statement came as efforts to sign a ceasefire agreement between the rebels and the government failed, with the rebels saying they needed more time to consult. Museveni's speech also painted a glittering picture of the economy, his pet subject. He said Uganda had received about $990 million in export earnings in the last year, and the Gross Domestic Product had grown by 6 percent. While Forum for Democratic Change Co-chairman Sam Njuba commended both government and the LRA on the peace effort, he said it is a pity that [the rebels] did not turn up to sign the ceasefire agreement. On the economy, Njuba said the statistics the President trotted out were not reflective of what is on the ground. People are getting poorer, he said. If Mukwano and Madhvani are doing well, not every citizen is doing well. The money is in the hands of the few. Agago MP Ogenga Latigo said that the transfer of the National Social Security Fund from the ministry of labour to the ministry of finance was not a remedy to corruption. Museveni transferred the NSSF to the ministry of finance last year after top officials in NSSF were accused of corruption. In his address, Museveni said NSSF will stay in finance, because that ministry has experts at managing money. The chairman of the UPC Presidential Policy Commission, Dr James Rwanyarare, said Museveni's order to resume war is disastrous. ''I don't think the President is realistic to dictate the contents of the peace agreement without allowing the other party to scrutinise it however weak it could be, Rwanyarare said, making a case that rebels should have been allowed more time to consult. He said the President should not rush back into fighting because the few days or months of further negotiations are not a big price to pay. But presidential political assistant Moses Byaruhanga does not see it that way. ''For how long should the government extend the ceasefire period? he said. We have played our part but it's unfortunate that the rebels are not committed to the peace process because they don't even make their terms clear to us.'' The President also warned against reliance on donor aid. He said too many dollars from the donors could stifle economic growth. We shall accept very limited money for our budget support. We shall even limit dollar inflows to NGO's, he said. He said he has never liked aid, anyway. Aid also means excessive interference in our internal matters. It shall not be tolerated. Added Museveni: People should not tell us to run the country this way or that way because we don't run other people's countries.

Is it "conspiracy theory" to question whether a virus "closely related" to HIV was created in any of the many laboratories contributing to the Special Virus Cancer Program and its connection to biowarfare research during the 1970s? Could covert human testing of classified biowarfare agents explain the exclusive "introduction" of HIV into gay men, the most hated minority in America, via the government-sponsored experimental hepatitis B experiments that began in Manhattan in New York City in 1978 -- the year before the onset of the "gay plague." The American Origin of AIDS in 1979 In 1979 the first young white gay men to come down with "gay-related immunodeficiency disease" was reported to the CDC. For the first year of the epidemic all the men were from Manhattan. They were all defined as young, predominantly white, previously healthy, well-educated and promiscuous. The Manhattan men were similar in profile to the 1,083 gay men who signed up for the hepatitis B experiment conducted at the New York Blood Center, also located in Manhattan. The experimental vaccine was developed in chimpanzees. The injections began in November 1978, and were concluded a year later. Similar vaccine experiments in gay men were undertaken in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis and Chicago, beginning in March 1980 and continued until October 1981, a few months after the epidemic had become "official." (For more details, google: the hepatitis B vaccine experiment.) AIDS became official in the U.S. in June 1981. At the time AIDS was unknown in Africa, and the epidemic did not begin there until autumn 1982 at the earliest. After Gallo discovered HIV in April 1984, an HIV blood test was developed and was used on the stored gay blood specimens deposited at the Center as part of the ongoing experiment and follow-up.

EM Auckland Congo militiamen wreak havoc with rape as a weaponBy David Blair in Goma Every agonising movement sends a tremor through Vumiliya Tembeyaona's body. She winces while walking a few steps, making the deep lines of pain etched on her face seem deeper still. She is the victim of a crime that occurs every day in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the world's deadliest war rages in the rainforests of central Africa. Civilians in Congo live in constant fear of the militia groups, which carry out atrocities almost daily Miss Tembeyaona, 23, was gang-raped by 15 soldiers. Afterwards, they mutilated her and left her bleeding beside a jungle track. She suffered injuries that six corrective operations have failed to heal. She lives in Docs Hospital in the town of Goma in eastern Congo, surrounded by 125 other women who have suffered rape and often mutilation. All escaped from Congo's lawless forests, where countless militiamen prey on terrified villagers. "I was taken while going to Birava village to sell beans," said Miss Tembeyaona. "The soldiers stopped me on the road. "They had guns and knives. I don't know which group they were from. They were just in uniform." She was captured with two other villagers who were walking to market: a man of about 20 and his 18-year-old sister. The soldiers turned on the siblings first, holding knives to their throats. "They ordered the man to rape his sister," said Miss Tembeyaona. "When he refused, they killed him with their knives." After being forced to watch her brother's death, the girl was mutilated. Then the gang turned on Miss Tembeyaona. She was thrown to the ground and pinned down beside the bodies of the murdered siblings. Each of the 15 men raped her. Afterwards, one stood over her and drew his knife. "He made me suffer with a knife in the womb", she said. Miss Tembeyaona was left unconscious. Passers-by took her to a local clinic and she eventually reached Docs Hospital. After enduring six operations, the last in November, she still suffers incontinence and bleeding. The Congo has descended into a Hobbesian state of nature in which the strong prey upon the weak. Beyond a few enclaves of order, established in Goma and a handful of other towns by 11,000 United Nations peacekeepers, anarchy reigns and the only law grows from the barrel of a gun. On paper, the killing should have stopped when a peace agreement was signed two years ago. This deal came after Rwanda and Uganda started the war in August 1998 by invading their giant neighbour. They claimed to be hunting down rebels responsible for the genocide of 800,000 Rwandan Tutsis in 1994. But the war dragged in five other countries and escalated into Africa's largest conflict. A survey by the International Rescue Committee, a New York-based relief agency, found that 3.8 million people have died, the highest toll claimed by any conflict since the Second World War. War-induced starvation and disease were the biggest killers. Rwanda still launches regular strikes into eastern Congo, the latest last week. The other foreign armies have withdrawn, but each left behind a motley collection of militia groups. These armed gangs continue to inflict misery on the innocent, waging a war that long ago lost any pretence of purpose. Dr Kalume Mushabaa, 39, and two other surgeons specialise in corrective fistula operations for the victims of rape.
[Ugnet] War resumes
War resumes By Frank Nyakairu Jan 2, 2005 Kony ambushes army as talks collapse GULU Things seem to be falling apart in northern Uganda once again, with the rebels injuring four UPDF soldiers in a morning ambush in Gulu yesterday. One soldier is missing in action. The rebels ambushed and burnt up a UPDF pick-up truck on its way from Gulu to Alero. The truck, which was hit using a rocket-propelled grenade at 9:30 a.m., was loaded with meat for soldiers in Alero to feast on as part of their New Year's Day celebrations. "This shows their New Year resolution," Lt. Paddy Ankunda, the army's spokesman in northern Uganda, said of the Lord's Resistance Army rebels.Alero is 16km outside Gulu town. The ambush came as the government announced a resumption of its campaign against the rebels following the failure to sign a ceasefire agreement on Friday. "We have begun operations today [Saturday] at 7 a.m.," defence and military spokesman Shaban Bantariza told Sunday Monitor earlier yesterday before news of the ambush broke. The government and the LRA rebels failed to sign a ceasefire deal on Friday, the day when the government's latest period of unilateral cessation of hostilities was slated to expire. The rebels said they were still consulting amongst themselves, although Maj. Bantariza said the failure was because of "disagreements among [the rebels.]" Had the ceasefire agreement been signed, it would have been a landmark step toward ending the brutal 18-year rebellion in north-central Uganda. President Museveni had warned in his New Year national address that failure to sign the deal by the rebels would lead to a resumption of the UPDF campaign within hours. It now happens that Kony took to the President;s message seriously and swung into action before the UPDF. "If Kony's group do not irreversibly commit themselves to coming out of the bush by the 31st of December 2004, then UPDF will start full-scale operations, beginning 0700 hours, the 1st of January 2005," the President said in his written address. The cessation of hostilities deal had been reached during meetings between the government team led by Internal Affairs Minister Ruhakana Rugunda and the LRA team led by rebel publicist Sam Kolo on Wednesday in Paloda, Palabek ceasefire zone in Kitgum district. The government says the talks can continue but from "abroad not in Uganda not in southern Sudan". A source close to the peace process said yesterday that "the spirit of negotiations is still high", though Dr Rugunda was returning to Kampala from Kitgum, where he had been since Tuesday. © 2005 The Monitor Publications.__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?

Opoko Matek UK wants fair politics By Ibrahim Kasita Jan 2, 2005 KAMPALA - The United Kingdom, like other development partners, has no position on Ugandas presidential term limits. It is however concerned that in the process of taking decisions on this issue and other aspects of political transition, legitimacy should be the catch word - both on the local and international scene. In a statement issued Friday by High Commissioner Adam Wood, he said they would monitor Ugandas political transition to ensure that there are rules for multi party competition. He said Ugandas continued stability would depend on having a legitimate process of political and constitutional change. He said proof of UKs position was the pegging of its budgetary support to reforms - as detailed in the Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP), including macro-economic management and governance. Britain remains keen to support Ugandas continued development and progress in reducing poverty. The High Commissioner signed a new budget support arrangement this month for a grant of up to £145 million over the next 3-years to support implementation of the Poverty PEAP, he said. Mr Wood also called for separation of the organs of state from the Movement in law and practice. © 2005 The Monitor Publications.__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo!

We knew all along that dictator Museveni was not committed to the talks. yFrom: Matek Opoko [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: ugandanet@kym.net To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ugandanet@kym.net Subject: [Ugnet] War resumes Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2005 20:56:46 -0800 (PST) War resumes By Frank Nyakairu Jan 2, 2005 Kony ambushes army as talks collapse GULU Things seem to be falling apart in northern Uganda once again, with the rebels injuring four UPDF soldiers in a morning ambush in Gulu yesterday. One soldier is missing in action. The rebels ambushed and burnt up a UPDF pick-up truck on its way from Gulu to Alero. The truck, which was hit using a rocket-propelled grenade at 9:30 a.m., was loaded with meat for soldiers in Alero to feast on as part of their New Year's Day celebrations. "This shows their New Year resolution," Lt. Paddy Ankunda, the army's spokesman in northern Uganda, said of the Lord's Resistance Army rebels. Alero is 16km outside Gulu town. The ambush came as the government announced a resumption of its campaign against the rebels following the failure to sign a ceasefire agreement on Friday. "We have begun operations today [Saturday] at 7 a.m.," defence and military spokesman Shaban Bantariza told Sunday Monitor earlier yesterday before news of the ambush broke. The government and the LRA rebels failed to sign a ceasefire deal on Friday, the day when the government's latest period of unilateral cessation of hostilities was slated to expire. The rebels said they were still consulting amongst themselves, although Maj. Bantariza said the failure was because of "disagreements among [the rebels.]" Had the ceasefire agreement been signed, it would have been a landmark step toward ending the brutal 18-year rebellion in north-central Uganda. President Museveni had warned in his New Year national address that failure to sign the deal by the rebels would lead to a resumption of the UPDF campaign within hours. It now happens that Kony took to the President;s message seriously and swung into action before the UPDF. "If Kony's group do not irreversibly commit themselves to coming out of the bush by the 31st of December 2004, then UPDF will start full-scale operations, beginning 0700 hours, the 1st of January 2005," the President said in his written address. The cessation of hostilities deal had been reached during meetings between the government team led by Internal Affairs Minister Ruhakana Rugunda and the LRA team led by rebel publicist Sam Kolo on Wednesday in Paloda, Palabek ceasefire zone in Kitgum district. The government says the talks can continue but from "abroad not in Uganda not in southern Sudan". A source close to the peace process said yesterday that "the spirit of negotiations is still high", though Dr Rugunda was returning to Kampala from Kitgum, where he had been since Tuesday. © 2005 The Monitor Publications. __ Do You Yahoo!?
