AIDS Inc. -- Part 5
|
|
===================
|
|
There was such a response to the previous CN (CN 7.23) on the
|
|
banning in the United States of the book *Why We Will Never Win
|
|
the War on AIDS* by Bryan Ellison and Peter Duesberg, that I
|
|
thought I would re-post the following. It is my synopsis of Jon
|
|
Rappoport's book, *AIDS Inc.* Because Rappoport covers Dr.
|
|
Duesberg's challenge to official AIDS dogma, they may be banning
|
|
his book next! (Or, late breaking, thanks to Rep. Schumer and his
|
|
proposed H.R. 2580 -- outlawing discussion of what he calls
|
|
"baseless conspiracy theories" -- they may be banning Conspiracy
|
|
Nation!)

|
"In the midst of AIDS deaths, misery, and redefinition, various
|
|
ideologues who want to purify the world, by their own standards,
|
|
see big opportunities to attack scapegoats, turn off sex,
|
|
increase general hatred and expand readiness to allow violence
|
|
against so-called high-risk groups. They see opportunities to
|
|
introduce distorted Biblical or medical models of society."
|
|
|
|
The author, Jon Rappoport, offers some frightening scenarios. One
|
|
of them involves any Government, under the guise of a medical
|
|
emergency, imposing martial law on the citizenry. "No better way
|
|
exists to cement national control than through medical channels.
|
|
There are no political issues to promote, no ideologies to
|
|
enunciate. All that's needed is the insistence of medical
|
|
authorities that the Health Emergency dictates instituting
|
|
curfews, postponing elections, and establishing detention centers
|
|
for the afflicted."
|
|
|
|
Another chilling scenario offered by Rappoport involves a
|
|
hypothetical conspiracy involving major pharmaceutical firms and
|
|
the medical establishment. He suggests an "ideal disease... one
|
|
in which the entire catalog of human symptoms were interlocked...
|
|
Each branch of symptoms would involve tests to ascertain the
|
|
exactness of the patient's medical position. On each branch,
|
|
there would exist various drugs, various remedies. Each drug
|
|
would have toxic side-effects in various degrees, and would
|
|
invoke its own symptoms, which would show up later in more
|
|
serious well-defined elements of the disease."
|
|
|
|
[B.R. We all know, or we ought to know, that the federal
|
|
government and its agencies are dubious sources of information.
|
|
Time after time they have lied to us. What is more,] "convincing
|
|
federal health agencies to act responsibly flies in the face of
|
|
tradition established at those agencies which goes back a long
|
|
way. Take cancer. One of its myths is that it too, like AIDS, is
|
|
a unity... Demanding a single cure for cancer did not do the
|
|
trick, and in a similar though not identical sense, demanding a
|
|
single cure for AIDS will not work."
|
|
|
|
"Activists seeking a solution for AIDS may end up doing a lot
|
|
more than forcing the medical research establishment to
|
|
accelerate research. They may force a revolution in the idea of
|
|
what health care is. That is one of the things medical
|
|
bureaucrats are nervous about."
|
|
|
|
[B.R. The media, characteristically, has offered spotty coverage of
|
|
this issue.] "At every level of media, there is silence on these
|
|
elements of the current AIDS scene. Again, this is because it's
|
|
assumed Medicine is right. Investigating this arena is a no-
|
|
priority item for newspapers."
|
|
|
|
[B.R. Yet this is an area in which there ought to be a great deal
|
|
of investigation, and especially not just by industry insiders
|
|
currently profiting by AIDS.] The author points to the "AIDS
|
|
empire," which, through the concept of immune suppression, "is
|
|
being linked worldwide, pinned to a single virus, and milked for
|
|
pharmaceutical money."
|
|
|
|
Rappoport bemoans the disappearance of the media's more feisty
|
|
and adventuresome days. "Now our papers, our television networks,
|
|
even most of our magazines are wedded to the idea that a news
|
|
story does not even exist unless an official
|
|
agency/body/organization announces it."
|
|
|
|
The media just keeps "bumbling along, believing they are
|
|
documenting the earnest struggle of a hardy band of researchers
|
|
against a plague caused by HIV. This is the way they've
|
|
documented every campaign against a major disease. Why change
|
|
now? Just do another re-run. In the midst of this image-making,
|
|
the simple facts get buried."
|
|
|
|
"Back in 1980... [the first five AIDS patients] were
|
|
misdiagnosed. They did have pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and
|
|
several other infections. But as any doctor should have been able
|
|
to tell, pneumocystis can occur when there is immune suppression
|
|
*for virtually any reason*... Unexplainably stunned that these
|
|
Los Angeles patients were immunocompromised, doctors made noises
|
|
about a new syndrome, and pretty soon everybody forgot that the
|
|
name of the restaurant these ill men had eaten at was Inhalant
|
|
Nitrites and Other Chemicals."
|
|
|
|
.................................................................
|
|
|
|
The National Antivivisection Society of London has published the
|
|
results of some of their researches into outbreaks of what is
|
|
being called "simian AIDS" (SAIDS). "The book is called
|
|
*Biohazard*, and it is a very interesting look at monkeys, not in
|
|
the wilds of Africa, but within the wilds of medical research
|
|
labs."
|
|
|
|
Among other things, *Biohazard* discusses the routine practice of
|
|
shipping monkeys and their diseased tissue specimens from
|
|
primate center to primate center. The book "makes it clear that
|
|
the passing of monkey-microbes to human handlers can, has, and
|
|
does happen. There has been ample opportunity to infect handlers
|
|
and lab workers... and some of this disease could have drifted
|
|
out into the human populations of cities. Easily."
|
|
|
|
"The staff who researched and wrote *Biohazard* believe that,
|
|
through frequent injections of an entire catalog of animal and
|
|
human microbes into monkeys, some germs would have recombined,
|
|
forming new and possibly virulent disease-agents -- for humans."
|
|
|
|
The author of *AIDS Incorporated*, Jon Rappoport goes on to
|
|
mention two studies of laboratory problems issued by New York's
|
|
Cold Harbor laboratory. The reports, *Biohazards in Biological
|
|
Research* and *The Banbury Report*, make note of "a number of lab
|
|
accidents involving animals and the transmission of infection to
|
|
humans. They also point out that in the worldwide 'jungle' of
|
|
biomedical research labs... we have a fertile environment for
|
|
human disease possibilities."
|
|
|
|
"We need to put imagery aside and realize that laboratories are
|
|
not temples, and like our nuclear plants, systems of safety are
|
|
prone to human error."
|
|
|
|
The author provides a series of accounts in which he documents
|
|
the appalling conditions in many of these labs. He further shows
|
|
how difficult it is for full and open investigations of these
|
|
facilities to occur. "Who would undertake a worldwide probe of
|
|
lab safety -- and possibly discover that many germs exist which,
|
|
under current conditions, could escape into the environment and
|
|
bring about generations of disease, immunosuppression, and
|
|
undoubtedly several of the symptoms attributed to AIDS? Why,
|
|
other scientists, other members of the fraternity. Would such
|
|
researchers implicate their own brethren, especially if doing so
|
|
amounted to professional suicide?"
|
|
|
|
The book, "*Biohazard*, has not been widely released in the U.S.
|
|
Its discussions of goings-on in animal labs are potent reading,
|
|
and not just for people who are convinced of the anti-vivisection
|
|
position. Piece by piece, a few accidents here, a few accidents
|
|
there -- one gets the beginnings of an impression as to how large
|
|
the community of animal labs worldwide really is. That disease
|
|
could emanate from these facilities begins to seem not at all
|
|
like science fiction."
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the examples of the potential for disaster given by
|
|
Rappoport comes from the journal *Lancet*. In a letter to the
|
|
journal, authors A.J. Zuckerman and D.I.H. Simpson, of the London
|
|
School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine write the following:
|
|
|
|
...it is only natural that we regularly receive material
|
|
from all over the world for diagnosis and
|
|
identification... The condition in which many of the
|
|
specimens arrive causes us extreme concern. Our most
|
|
recent examples have been badly smashed blood samples
|
|
sent by post from overseas for hepatitis and Lassa fever
|
|
studies. These samples were potentially highly
|
|
infectious, but were so badly packed that serum was
|
|
leaking freely through the outer paper. There is no need
|
|
to stress the hazard to postal workers or to those who
|
|
open the package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The researchers who so blithely speculate that AIDS emanated
|
|
from monkeys in Africa have no idea what conditions exist at
|
|
animal labs around the world, that these labs provide a fertile
|
|
epidemiological environment for the breeding of contamination and
|
|
disease. Or if they do have an idea, and some do, they keep their
|
|
mouths shut."
|
|
|
|
The author suggests that we ought to be studying the animal
|
|
handlers and animal-lab personnel to see what diseases they have
|
|
developed. Rappoport thinks that we could, for example, track
|
|
these people to see what contact they have had with persons who
|
|
have subsequently been diagnosed as having AIDS. "If
|
|
epidemiologists can command grants which take them to Africa to
|
|
explore the mysteries of the green monkey, they can take cabs and
|
|
shuttle flights to major animal labs and start looking for
|
|
unusual disease there... Why doesn't NIH fund a modest study to
|
|
investigate what diseases animal handlers and lab personnel may
|
|
have carried into the streets of New York?"
