Two days after Christmas, in the year 2007?
I think it’s a good, bad bet that it’s so. I think we will all have to learn a thing or two that we’ve been putting off…
The meaning of the terms “Wahhabi” and “Wahhabiism,” for example.
From today’s Wall Street Journal, a very good, and succinct History of the holiday, by historian and author John Steele Gordon. A few excerpts:
“In its earliest days, Christianity did not celebrate the Nativity at all. Only two of the four Gospels even mention it. Instead, the Church calendar was centered on Easter, still by far the most important day in the Christian year. The Last Supper was a Seder, celebrating Passover, which falls on the day of the full moon in the first month of spring in the Hebrew calendar. […]
By the time of the Council of Nicea [325 AD], the Christian Church was making converts by the thousands and, in hopes of still more converts, in 354 Pope Liberius decided to add the Nativity to the church calendar. He also decided to celebrate it on Dec. 25. It was, frankly, a marketing ploy with a little political savvy thrown in.
It is now freezing in Boston, dark at 2:30 or so, and will remain so for months. And it was only weeks ago…
From the Associated Press
Hearing Resumes in HIV Misdiagnosis Suit
WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Audrey Serrano received HIV treatments for almost nine years before receiving a stunning diagnosis: She never actually had the virus that causes AIDS.
File under:
The Associated Press reports that a Boston woman who has been taking “Aids drugs” (that’s FDA Black-Box labeled drugs, to you and me), for years has been profoundly damaged by them.
And she’s been taking them for no reason, whatsoever: She was never really “Hiv positive.”
So why is she sick? Look up “FDA Black-Box drugs” for a short answer; it’s the designation for drugs that kill or permanently injure patients who take them. You can line that up against the Aids industry’s typical line, “Life-Saving Aids Drugs,” and see the truth ends and the lies begin.
So, “Hiv tests” are not accurate? And Aids drugs kill? Never heard that on “Queer as Folk.” But is it true?
Illness and death from “life-saving” drugs? Well, yes, that’s what the Black Box is for.
Tests that test for nothing? Well, yes, the tests test for nothing particular, and then everything else, too.
Among those able to test “positive” without being positive, according to the sanctified medical literature:
With the arrival of the shopping season (and what season isn’t for shopping these days), we welcome, with open arms and purses, and wide eyes, the million tons of plastic, electronic paraphernalia from China and East Asia.
Earlier this year, I spent a month in China, home of American goods and products. The experience left me a little wide-eyed. Or, more than a little.
I wrote about it a little bit, Here and Here, but haven’t quite had the heart to get back to it in full. Somewhere inside, there is a voice that says, “If you don’t have anything nice to say….”
But, nice or not, I can’t sit on these thoughts anymore.
You see, having been to China, I am now afraid of China. Or, more to the point, I am afraid of our massive intertwining with China.
I see the PBS specials on the wonders of the place, with gongs and pentatonic scales sounding over images of the rose and gold-lensed landscapes. I hear about the growth and opportunity, but mostly, what I hear, having been there, is a denial of what it is actually like to be in China. Or, to be poor in China. (And poor is the way most people in China are, have been, and will remain).
There is a tendency for reporters to shy away from the difficulty, the tragedy, the deep unpleasantness of the lives of most Chinese people. The often mortal burden placed on individual Chinese by their government, which does not seem to worry much about individual human or civil rights…After all, they’re building the new regime, to compete, not with the old, but with us.
This year I witnessed what I came to call “the building of the pyramids,” 2007 style. When the Pharaohs built the Pyramids, they didn’t build them. Their workers, and slaves did. Every day, blocks of stone rolled up gangways, pushed and pulled by rope and lever and wheel. Every day the stones were piled higher. And every day handfuls of slaves met their end under those stones.
And so, in China, every night, you go to bed with the sound of steel against steel, hammers pounding rivets on the thirty second floor of a scaffold. Every morning the buildings are a little higher, and the air and water, a little more polluted. And you can bet a number get caught in the gears and steel of the new pyramids dotting the emerging, brown and dusty skyline.
A new medicine has brought promise to Africa, to fight the disease that “destroys a child’s immune system, so they’re more susceptible to diseases and less capable of recovering from them.”
Thanks to the new treatment:
But not everyone has “Access” to the life-saving drug. The result?
What’s the product? A new “Aids” drug? A condom? A new vaccine for “Aids?”
Read on:
You heard it hear first! Extra! Extra! Four organ recipients in Chicago test.. (Negative, Negative), Positive!
Four Chicago transplant recipients contract HIV
But no heterosexual sex? (Oh right, that only goes for Africans, I forgot…)
Negative! Oh good! Because these tests are so accurate and reliable and predictable.. oh…
The South African (and European) press want the head (or resignation) of South African President, Thabo Mbeki.
Why? Because of economic failings, corruption, poor governance?
No. They want him out of office, because he is an “Aids Dissident.”
Here’s how they frame it:

I received an interview request from Nature Medicine regarding the BBC’s capitulation to the pharma cabal at Aidstruth.org. (Background on that story Here )
I have been slimed by Nature Medicine in the past, without ever being asked for an interview, so this is a first. I respond in some detail to the request, with some questions of my own for the reporter.
The bottom line:
Please see my post at Health Supreme on the “denialism” of Aidstruth.org. Then have a look at the ever-ready Anthony Brink’s press release on AZT and Thalidomide (at Treatment Information Group).
John P.Moore, Aids Denialist

John P. Moore, of the New York Times, and of Aidstruth.org, on his approach to discourse and debate in science [Here ]:
The Aids Cabal is crowing glorious victory over their defeat of journalism, truth-telling, medical discourse and debate. That is, they’ve convinced the BBC to feel doubtful that the documentary “Guinea Pig Kids” should be allowed to stand, without correction from the pharma cabal that the film indicted.
John P. Moore of AidsTruth.org writes:

[….end excerpt…]
So, a few notes on the documentary in question.
It was released at the near end of 2004, in November. I provided what is called, original research, which really consisted of pointing to the National Institute of Health’s (that’s the US government’s) own database of clinical trials, and noting that the drugs they were using were Black Box labeled, meaning they’d caused severe disability, or death, in patients taking them.
And that these were being used in combination of 2, 3, 4, up to 7 at a time, “at higher than usual doses”, in children as young as 4 years old. That’s orphans, as young as four, and then, other drugs and vaccines, in infants as young as six months old. [Here]

Please contact the editor at the UK Guardian on their reportage:
email: editor@mediaguardian.co.uk or phone 020 7239 9857.
From: Liam Scheff to editor@mediaguardian.co.uk
Dear Editor,
Please have your reporter, Leigh Holmwook, contact me, Liam Scheff, to correct the egregious errors in your reportage of the current attack on honest, critical, investigative journalism by the ‘AidsTruth’ pharma cabal. [Here]
Your reportage on this is missing more than half of the story. Your reporter Holmwood is quoting, at length, one Jeanne Bergman, activist for the drug use that is being criticized in the Guinea Pig Kids film.
You are citing the aggressor, not the aggrieved.
The issue at hand is the following - orphans in NYC were and are being used in clinical drug trials - “experiments” - with extraordinarily toxic drugs - as per the studies themselves.
Have a look at the title, the drugs, the warnings on every drug in the study, and the compound use of the drugs - seven at a time, in children as young as four years old.

Who are these people?
John P. Moore, Martin Delaney, Jeanne Bergman, Nathan Geffen, Greg Gonsalves, Nicholas Bennett? [Here]
Who are these people, who have taken it upon themselves to inform every reporter, news organization, researcher, and individual in the world, what is and what is not acceptable to talk about, or think about, in relation to the medical (and quite religious) paradigm known as “Aids”, “Aids drugs” and “Hiv Tests?”
God knows, if you read the actual, critical, useful, necessary medical literature on any of these subject categories, you find a wealth of fascinating, horrifying information, always running in seven contrary directions from what the mainstream advertises as “Aids.”
But, heaven help you if you report any of what the literature lays out in evidence, or what real people who are affected by the tests, drugs and diagnosis testify to, because if you do, the “AidsTruth” clan calls you…
