Below are sections of an article in the Jamaica Observer(newspaper). Read and enjoy. The "monkey theory" can be proved wrong through mathematics (in my opinion). There has been no evidence of the gradual progression through the apes.

How did HIV/AIDS come about?
Mark Wignall
Thursday, November 27, 2003

TODAY, there is a global scourge known as HIV/AIDS. The statistics on it as taken from Aids.com is staggering.
* More than 23 million men, women and children have died from AIDS.
* There are 42 million men, women and children currently living with HIV/AIDS.

Washingtonpost.com in an article by David Brown offers the following convoluted theory on the origins of the disease: 'Sometime deep in prehistory, a team of European and American scientists say, a chimpanzee killed and consumed two monkeys -- a red-capped mangabey and a greater spot-nosed monkey -- each infected with its own particular strain of SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus). Both viruses got into the chimp's bloodstream, probably through an open wound.'

Note the wild generalisations, especially in the time period (deep in prehistory). If that, however, is not enough to tickle your funny bone, read what is said about the link between monkeys, man and the disease. 'The prevailing theory about how the first humans got AIDS is that about 75 years ago, someone in central Africa cut himself while butchering a chimpanzee for food. The animal was infected with SIV, which after a few adaptive mutations evolved into human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in its new host. This is known in AIDS research circles as the "cut hunter hypothesis".'

In the 1990 published book, Black Men --Obsolete, Single, Dangerous? by Haki R Madhubuti, some shocking revelations are made, especially in regard to the origins of the disease and the motives behind it.

'Dr Frances Welsing sent me some of her research, including the book,A Survey of Chemical and Biological Warfare by Cookson and Nottingham published in 1969. This text details the type of biological and chemical research and warfare being carried on in the Western world... The crucial thing is that the authors document the early experimentation with viruses that would attack the immune systems of people.'

In the book, the author makes mention of the work being done by a Dr Theodore A Strecker, where Strecker attempts to clarify what he sees as misconceptions about AIDS. He states:
* AIDS is a man-made disease.
* AIDS can be carried by mosquitoes.
* There are at least six different AIDS viruses loose in the world.
* The AIDS virus was introduced into Africa by the World Health Organisation.

The author states: 'Dr Strecker has unearthed evidence that the AIDS virus was created in a laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland from smallpox and hepatitis B vaccines. It is now certain that the World Health Organisation introduced the vaccine that contaminated east and central Africa with the AIDS virus.

maybe you are correct, some form of genocide (look up

the word).

But still its a deadly disease, one that should not be taken lightly. it is estimated that a child is

orphaned by AIDS at the rate of one every 14 seconds. Whole nations are being weakened by this disease. We risk losing the

next generation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) plan challenges the 34 countries with the highest infection

rates to rapidly train workers to accelerate the integration of AIDS treatment in their health care programs. Many countries

with the largest numbers of people living with H.I.V./AIDS have very few doctors or other trained health workers, the

organization said. Many have died from untreated AIDS, while others have moved to wealthier countries.

The cold hard facts are that many will continue to

die. No dent in the numbers will be seen as as way of getting the drugs to the people who need them has not been found.



Maybe developing countries will have to agree to buy (GM) genetically modified food to get the medication.

I

smiled at the card the EU played this week. They threatened to impose tariffs on certain goods that just happened to come out

of Florida. Bush started talking about steel tariffs like he heard news. Political chess at the highest level.

interim though everyone just mek sure unuh protect yourselves.

I BELIEVE HIV/ AIDS AWARENESS SHOULD BE ALL YEAR ROUND

THING...NOT...JUST FOR A DAY OR WEEK.

SO TO HELL WITH DECEMBER 1st BEING WORLD AIDS DAY. EVERYDAY SHOULD BE WORLD AIDS

DAY!!!!
