Why Are We Seeing AIDS, v. 2005?
Anyone, Anyone, Bueller...?

Did anyone see the Sundance Channel's story how HIV arrived in Africa?
****
The Origins of AIDS probes one of the most vexing, highly charged areas of AIDS research: how and when the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was introduced to humans. Research has shown that chimpanzees carry simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a close relative of HIV. Science knows that AIDS originated in Africa, and has concluded that at some point SIV crossed over into humans and became HIV. It has been argued that the lethal contact could have come through the food supply, but there is another theory: that SIV was introduced to humans via mass polio immunization programs carried out in Africa the late 1950s. Beginning with a history of the mid-century polio eradication crusade, directors Chappell and Peix (a former biology teacher) take an in-depth look at the polio hypothesis and the furious response it has provoked in the scientific community. Their investigation ultimately leads them to modern-day Congo, site of the polio research camp set up in 1957 by the revered scientist Hilary Koprowski, inventor of an oral polio vaccine... read more here: http://news.sawf.org/Entertainment/316.aspx

Anyone notice a large flourishing of auto-immune disease in its various forms?

What role do animals play one might ask:

Or the role of some people we know?

there is loads to find ... so, what does this mean?

1. Yes, I believe it is tied to polio vac'n programs
and smallpox vac'n, as well.

After working for the NIH doing medical research (some of it with AIDS patients) for more than 12 yrs., and having read Dr. Gary Glum's book ("Full Disclosure"), I believe that the virus was engineered by the US gov't. Yes, CREATED by our gov't.

This relates to the Human Genome Project and the current talk of genetic fingerprinting for all citizens.

2. My guess on a common sense level...
Says that in the 1950's it may have occurred due to an innocent lack of knowledge. Using infected blood or animals to create the vaccine which may have been only strong enough to create carriers and not kill the individual.

I think that humanitarian scientists would never knowingly have spread AIDS, even if people above them knew and provided corrupt materials.

As to what is going on today? I think with everything I have read I am very afraid of the advanced research project my husband is working with as a joint wide world effort to decode genetic strings. It's creators claim it is going to be made available free of charge to higher educational institues and such, but with HR418 section 102 about to go into place, nothing is what it was before. Nothing.

Like the SETI project hundreds of thousands of computers are using their backend processing space to run calculations non-stop while they do other work or at night when the machine would otherwise not be used.

I think the new form of biological warfare will be aimed at creating death by racial/social group. Supposedly they have isolated the "gay" gene. How far it is from there to developing something that could target a person with that gene, I don't know.

That is why I think the US government is not tightening up regulations on the Chemical industry even though terrorists could make these places target and use germ warfare against US. The US doesn't want any chance discovery of their own underhanded behavior.

Any way, I was kind of discouraged before I wrote this post and I apologize if it seems gloomy.

3. I hear you, me too. It is an overwhelming thought that this
could be yet another horrid example of man's inhumanity to man.

You are correct about the Human Genome Project.

Dr. Glum told me that his life had been threatened because of the publication of his book. I also know of a widely respected MD who was the Dir of Surgery at a renowned teaching hospital who's life was threatened. She had been making the rounds, Oprah, CNN etc. talking about how contageous AIDS REALLY is when her life was also threateded.

Read "Full Disclosure" it's all there.
