Could it really be possible to cure AIDS?
The virus has been decimating populations since the “gay plague” first started spreading in the early 1980s. It insinuates itself into the body’s deepest recesses, hiding out to evade drugs and vaccines alike. It spreads in blood, breast milk and sperm -- making the most intimate human encounters deadly.
It has exploded across the world -- killing 25 million people, infecting a million more every year, and moving from gay and bisexual men into wives and mothers, to their children, and among drug users.
But experts think it might be possible to stop the spread and even to speak of curing the infection in those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. And they see a hopeful symbolism, as well, in the return of the giant international conference, held every two years, to the United States, where it hasn’t been in 22 years.
The International AIDS Society decided to bring the conference to Washington after President Barack Obama lifted a much-criticized ban on visas for HIV-infected travelers in 2009.
Starting today, 25,000 researchers, activists, patients and officials meet for the colorful conference to trade ideas, demonstrate and float policy ideas. As is always the case with AIDS meetings, protesters will gather to point to inequalities -- the lack of funding for treating women, the startlingly high rates of infection among U.S. blacks, high prices charged for AIDS drugs, discrimination against sex workers and the stigma that still surrounds the disease.
In the days before the conference, researchers and activists issued what they call the Washington, D.C. Declaration. “Through new scientific advances and societal, political and human rights gains, it is possible to turn the tide against the AIDS and begin to end the epidemic in our lifetimes,” it reads.
“It’s time to start thinking about the end of AIDS,” said Michel Sidibe, head of the United Nations AIDS agency UNAIDS.
“We do have these amazing scientific tools at hand that are really enabling us for the first time to begin thinking about a generation free from AIDS,” Dr. Ronald Valdiserri, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, told reporters in a conference call last week.
To ever cure HIV infection, researchers still have to figure out how to roust it from its hiding places in the body and kill it. HIV is a retrovirus, and it invades the very immune cells that the body sends to fight it off, turning them into little virus factories. Cocktails of drugs called highly active antiretroviral therapy -- HAART or ART for short -- can hijack this process in various stages and some of the drugs can even protect a person from being infected in the first place.
While HAART can keep patients healthy and can help keep them from infecting others and even protect people who aren’t yet infected, it can’t fully eradicate HIV.
But the case of Timothy Brown, once called the “Berlin patient”, shows it is in theory possible. He was infected with HIV, developed leukemia, and got his immune system replaced with a bone marrow transplant. Luckily for him, the bone marrow donor had a genetic mutation that provided resistance to HIV.
Bone marrow transplants are drastic treatments, expensive and dangerous, and no one thinks it’s possible to use them to treat HIV patients in general. But the science shows a cure is possible.
The best way to eradicate a disease is, of course, with a vaccine. Researchers wowed themselves and the world in 2009 when tests on a vaccine no one really expected to work lowered the risk of HIV infection by more than 30 percent over three years. More study published this year shows that the volunteers who were protected produced certain antibodies -- the first clue to breaking through HIV’s ever-changing disguises. They’ll present more details of what they have found at this week’s conference.
There also will be more details on studies that find treatment can be used as prevention. Taken properly, the drugs can reduce by 96 percent the chance that an infected person will infect someone else sexually. They can protect someone at high risk -- say a woman married to an infected man -- from ever becoming infected.
UNAIDS issued a report ahead of the conference that shows a 20 percent drop in death rates from HIV. Better treatment is a big part of this, according to the report. A big success has been in protecting babies -- 100,000 fewer babies got the virus at birth from their mothers or in breast milk, the report showed. Treating mother and baby with ART drugs worked.
It won’t be all good news at the conference. New details will shed light on how quickly the epidemic is moving back into the gay community, with black and Hispanic men at especially high risk and less likely than ever to have been tested or treated. A batch of reports in the Lancet medical journal this past week showed behavior may not be entirely to blame -- biology shows that men may be more susceptible to sexual transmission of the virus.
And there are two sides to the symbolism of holding the conference in Washington, D.C. Washington has one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the world -- more than 3 percent of the city’s residents over the age of 12 are infected -- about the same rate as in Congo. About 6.3 percent of black men in Washington are infected -- comparable to Uganda’s 6.5 percent rates. About half a percent of people in North America are infected. CDC estimates 1.2 million Americans are infected, and that 20 percent of them don’t know it.
Washington, D.C., is working hard on its epidemic, however, distributing free HIV tests widely, even offering them in supermarkets. Officials are distributing condoms, clean needles and providing health benefits to virtually all residents.
Conference organizers had hoped President Obama could travel the few blocks to the conference, but the best he offered is a video greeting. He’ll send Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius instead.
A entire session at the conference will focus on another tough issue -- money. The global recession has hit AIDS efforts in the pocketbook.
“Regardless of where you work or live, if you are devoted to making a difference in the HIV epidemic, you are trying to do more with limited resources, “ said CDC’s chief AIDS official, Dr. Jonathan Mermin.

I appreciate the in-depth article, but was incredibly dismayed with how it began. Is the term in quotation marks "gay plague" really necessary in the opening sentence? Anybody who follows a link to this article likely already knows the devastating effect that HIV has on the gay male population. An archaic term left over from the early 80s is no longer needed or welcome.
Furthermore, in your second paragraph, you mention that the virus is "moving from gay and bisexual men into wives and mothers, to their children, and among drug users". This is incredibly misleading, and points the finger again at gay and bisexual men as the main transmitters or sources of the disease. This is a false statement. HIV and AIDS are a predominantly heterosexual disease, and always have been. Just because a disproportionate percentage of gay men in the United States are newly infected every year does not mean that this is the case worldwide. Of the some 33 million people worldwide that live with the virus, the vast majority are heterosexuals.
If you could kindly remove those two statements I think the article would otherwise be a welcome addition to the conversation of HIV prevention and treatment. Thank you.
Eric, I totally agree, I once worked as a volunteer for an AIDS network. The paid woman in charge of the organization asked me "could I speak to a group of high school students about how it feels to live with AIDS, " I answered "I do not have it" she was speechless. I want to a summer camp for children with AIDS, everyone at work thought I was Gay, It just shows how much stigma is attached to this plague,I think there will be a cure or vaccine one day, one has only to look into the eyes of the Mothers of the children who are infected to hope it will be soon.
seriously, i stopped reading after "gay plague." that is something i would expect to read on Yahoo news. not here.
Where did you read I said "GAY PLAGUE"
Janitor!: I Think jb was saying that they stopped reading the article after "gay plaque". I don't think they were referring to your comment.
Reverend Phartsniff says gay people are going to hell.
What a hell of a party that will be!
Can we get there with GPS?
"gay pleague' was to illistrate how far the disease has progressed. thats what it was called in the early 80's....dont take it out of context!
I don't understand why some of you are bent out of shape over the words "gay plague." When this disease was noticeably infecting humans in the late 70's early 80's it did not have a name. Researchers, doctors,and scientist only knew the symptoms and only GAY MEN had it; not women or truly heterosexual men. Everyone and anyone knows this so why the panties in a bunch over "gay plague?" Bisexual men and gay men who are ashamed to be gay openly that sleep with women as a beard/cover are the reason for this disease crossing over into the heterosexual community and EVERYONE knows this fact so again, what is the problem with the writer using "gay plague?" I don't see anything wrong with it. This is a well written piece and I am happy a cure is close.
Jesus saves by His blood: I am happy it appears a cure is close also. That said, the offense to saying 'gay plague' is that 1) it stigmatizes those with HIV, 2) it stigmatizes homosexuals. Anyone who has a sliver of common sense recognizes that a virus is incapable of recognizing sexuality - so, anyone with a sliver of common sense understands that this isn't a "gay plague".
Anal sex tends to tear the lining of the anus and allows for a higher rate of infection.
Thus, it spread faster in the male gay population. It's why it was called The GAY PLAGUE.
Get over it. Sorry gay men, because of the sex they practice, makes it easier for them to get AIDS.
It's a fact.
pondering: So... straight people don't have anal sex?
Well thats what it was called back then because thats who was spreading it the most to each other and why does it get spread more between gays then hetero ? Maybe because of the unnatural act of rectum tearing from anal sex. Not saying that a hetero male cant give it to a woman, but anal sex greatly increases the risk of all kinds of disease transmissions. I dont care if your gay or straight, anal sex is repulsive, dangerous, and high risk for many complications. So when we look back to the 80's and you see aids around gays a lot more then the heteros , then there is a major reason why.
HIV has been a part of my life for about 16 years now, and I hate everything about it, but it doesnt control my life, and I dont even think about it anymore, even when I take my meds. Its like brushing my teeth, no thought in the actions, just part of every day life.
Of course they do, but statistically, the percent of women who have anal sex with their men, is nothing compared to the only type of penetrating intercourse that gay men can have, which is anal sex only.
Oral sex has a very very low chance of being spread, which does increase if the mouth has ulcers or cuts in it, or how long it stays in the mouth. The quicker its swallowed, or spit back out the better. Which also points back to that gay men also have oral sex, as well as hetero couples, but yet statistically its the anal sex in gay men that spread this. Its much hard for a woman to give it to a man, it would have to be some amazing chance that the virus can get into the mans penis and infection take place. It was always much easier for men to infect women since its our fluid leaking out and into women. But then again, the vaginal lining , woman juices, and all of that gives some help of protection. Rectum ripping is the killer. Drugs with needles also, or like me, or in my case, getting a tattoo from a friend who tattooed many many people over at his house and did not clean his equipment.
Glad to see they're finally getting a handle on this decades-old disease. Probably the toughest one we've ever tried to cure.
It's not a matter of sexual orientation but, for the most part, of personal responsibility to keep oneself protected against sexual encounters with those who may be infected. The sexual revolution of the 60's has resulted in casual sex being the norm today. In many cases in poor countries, women are being raped or infected by a spouse who has been with many people.
I really doubt that "gays" are the main recipients of AIDS today because they're better educated toward prevention. It's more like casual sex and drugs being involved.
Absolutely agree.
Solution: don't @!$%# those with AIDS and always use a condom.
easier said then done. People dont get tested cause they dont wanna know. Once u tell one person soon everyone knows. i have seen it time and time again. the only thing worse then dealing with having HIV, is dealing with HIV alone.
as far as the human sexual aspect....John Stewart said it best...
"you cant change 10,000 years of human behavior overnight".
If we find a cure for this disease, it may be one of the biggest accomplishments we will achieve, and it may open the doors to finding cures for other diseases as well.
Why not throw the kitchen sink at this thing, combine every single experimental vaccine made into a series of vaccines they combined two in the study that showed some protection I say combine them all and any new ones not in the pike, then do a study to see how many people would be infected from a whole attenuated, then give the series of combined experimental vaccines followed by a series of live attenuated then after all that give HAART to these people and then lets see the rate of infection. Furthermore I would give this to extreme at risk populations that are sure to get the disease anyway and then see the success rate I am no doctor or researcher but I bet my bottom dollar that the infection rate would be so low it would be almost zero. THROW THE KITCHEN SINK AT IT and then if we see no decline in infection rate then I will completely concede that no vaccine is possible.
Here's the thing about the kitchen sink, it's fully of dirty dishes.
Each treatment has side effects, some of with are pretty harsh. Put two treatments together and you have both sets of side effects plus a couple of new ones from the drugs interacting. Put twenty together and you will probably kill the patient. That's why most lines of research have been focusing on targeting. The more targeted the drugs, the fewer side effects there are and the more effective the treatment will be.
Its actually amazing to see how far we've come, not only again HIV but against retroviruses in general. We are so close. It's hard to wait, and I hope a cure comes soon, but there's a good reason doctors don't just prescribe every drug in the book for an ailment. It doesn't do any good to cure the patient if the treatment kills them.
I also want to say I am no conspiracy theorist buuuutttt this disease is tailor made to kill humans. Attacking the very thing we use to protect ourselves the human immune system. And the fact it is so resistant to current biotech WOW. Add to that the explosion of this virus all at once. Add to that it showed in certain populations exclusively at first. Add to that it did not show up in humans until the modern biotech age. WOW. I am a conservative republican but still have to go hmmm when I look at the history of this virus and it's peculiar circumstances.
I am not saying this is nefarious but I can see where scientist thinking of if rather than should. Like nuclear devices when Oppenhimer and Einstein both were wondering could this be done and then when knowing it could contemplated should it be done. With the rise in the 50s through the 80s of biowarfare I would not be at all surprised if someday we find out it did not have a zooanosis jump from another primate species like we have made to believe, I am not saying it did happen through human means, I am just saying I would not be surprised if I found out someday it did.
In any regards this virus is here to stay it has gained a stronghold in human populations and we need to take every precaution to eradicate it now even I know this will sound inhuman but if we can't garner a vaccine then we might need to at some point consider QUARANTINE. I know how radical and inhuman this sounds but we are talking about the survival of humanity.
There are 7 billion people on the planet. I'm sure humanity will survive.
And not all 7 billion will contract the disease unless it mutates to have the ability to spread through no physical contact, as is the case now.
Viruses often evolve and adapt to new hosts. It's no stretch to say that a virus that infects monkeys can someday evolve to infect humans.
Aids will eventually run its course even without a cure but, either way, in the meantime many millions will die. Millions also die every year from starvation. Add to that.. war, cancer and other diseases, accidents, murder, etc. etc. and just plain old age. Makes it difficult for me to care a whole lot about human death anymore.
its been 30 years. course running is not an option.
The "H" in HIV stands for HUMAN. Meaning, essentially that anyone reading these pages can contract HIV.
This is not a virus nor pandemic about sexual orientation. It is one about being human, human behavior and risk factors related to being human.
Much is known re: how to reduce and prevent tramnsmission. The use of quarantine is an unnecessary and a totally ineffective way to prevent HIV transmission. If you're suggesting the big Q - you might need to cast your net even further to include those with Hepatits and other blood born viruses.
Education, active discussions to promote awareness and condom distrubution are all effective tools. Dialogue needs to occur to empower young (and old) to negotiate safer and lower risk behavior/s. The proper medical term is universal precautions - something we should all be educated about, and practicing as HUMAN beings.
Ask yourself: do you know what someone with HIV looks like? How about AIDS? Not likely that you do. You certainly don't need to - unless you're considering sexual intimacy w/someone new to you. Nor should you share needles if you're an IV drug user.
I'm glad and grateful this conference is happening. I regret I'm not able to attend - especially given that it's here in the states.
Cheers.
I have lost so many friends to this disease. A disease that attacks a persons closest human contact, human intamacy. I cant think of a crueler way to die.
Deleted.
It's great this conference is happening here in the United States. Focusing on looking towards a cure is a step in the right direction. I have a good friend whose 9 year old son got HIV through Factor 8 injections to treat his hemophilia (blood disorder) twenty years ago. She never told him he had it. When this disease first struck, it took its sweet time mutating into a different strain.It changed again on us in half that time. After that it decided to keep us hopping by altering repeatedly while reducing the time needed until now there's two major strains constantly changing with lots of sub-categories. That is why it is so darn difficult to fight. When you have an organism which is increasingly adapting with different strains even in the same body, that is one nasty fella. It helps explain why we still are struggling and probably will for some time to find the cure. But there is hope. If we are smart enough to combine research with altering human behaviors, we can make a huge difference against this awful disease. People must become educated and be willing to take personal responsibility. Those who choose to ignore such precautions run the risk of paying a terrible price sooner than later.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD . . .
All of our forces are in place. To the North, we have truth. To the South, we have fact. From the West we have the eternal infinite resolve of the American people. We will seek accountability for the secrets revealed in the secret virus development program. The “flowchart” of the “Special Virus” program will continue to guide humanity throughout the 21st Century, as we close one of the darkest chapters in the history of the “civilized” world. We are grateful to have established dialogues with the current Congress, Surgeon General and officials at the NIH, NCI and the White House. The August 1999 unveiling of the flowchart of this secret U.S. virus program is being hailed as one of the greatest document finds in the history of the world.
WHAT WE NOW KNOW
As we head toward the end of the 20th Century, we know that we have participated in an irreversible chain of human events that ill ultimately lead to the
deactivation of AIDS. This view is supported by the significant events over the last two weeks. The NIH’s Dr. Cargill is amenable to assisting us find the
$250,000 we need to host an AIDS ORIGIN RESEARCHER CONFERENCE. Her December 15, 2000 email is located in the appendix as are a number of documents and correspondence. It is my February ‘99 letter to President Clinton that served as the impetus for the President to declare the AIDS Virus a “National Security
Priority” earlier this year. Anyone who is looking for the historical overview of the development of AIDS will want to review my letter to the New York Times.
I am not providing these voluminous documents to outweigh any other point of view. I am providing these documents in which others might be able to retrace my
efforts and reach similar conclusions. The flowchart is the recipe for AIDS. If that is true. We will offer to the new administration that we can recreate a batch of AIDS, thus strengthening our position that we can take AIDS apart. It has been necessary for the top echelons of government to assist in the proliferation of AIDS, because they knew the “Trojan Horse” virus would need an
incubation period. In light of the sophisticated secret virus development program, it will be very difficult for any one to argue they didn’t know what the ‘mystery illness’ was.
All of our energy and resources will focus on our presentation of this information to the Bush administration. We have not hesitated in our position
that there will be no other agenda item on the table of mankind but for this issue. Come inauguration day, the dust of a stale election will give way to the
reality of the truth and the fact of U.S. involvement in the development of AIDS. The secret program’s “research logic” makes it unequivocally clear. This federal program was attempting to develop an immune suppressing virus. If this “Special” virus is not the “AIDS” virus, then this federal program will easily be able to account for the 15,000 gallons of AIDS the program produced in 1977.
It is our contention the federal government “complemented” the vaccine programs
of Africa and Manhattan. Many of the documents in the appendix support this position. In other words, the flowchart proves the United States was seeking to
produce the AIDS virus. The epidemiology of the virus suggests the two epi-centers earmarking the true man made nature of the alleged mystery illness.
People just don’t get it because they don’t want to get it. They didn’t give Black people ‘niacin’ although they knew it would cure them of the dreaded ‘pellegra disease’. Once they gave Black people the niacin, they immediately began a secret study of Black people and untreated syphilis. when that study was finally revealed, they had the “Special” virus ready to go. Soon we will meet with the Surgeon General of the United States of America. General Satcher had not previously seen the flowchart or had any prior knowledge of this secret virus development program.
Our DAY 14: WORLD WAR AIDS pronouncement on December 14 2000 was a result of the breakthroughs in the official government silence that we have achieved. Next to all the aforementioned exhibits, documents, correspondence and papers, it is probably the 1978 memorandum about Blacks that is most hideous. The 1978 document devises a scheme to offset negative African American sentiment when
Black America learns the United States was “depopulating Africa.” We have all of the information we need to prove our case against the United States. It is our nation state who is guilty of the highest crime. We have found the well-spring of the genesis of AIDS, it is us.”

State Origin: The Evidence of the Laboratory Birth of AIDS. By Boyd Ed Graves,
J.D.
In 1988 the Committee to Restore the Constitution documented the gene splicing work done at Ft. Detrick, Maryland (now NIH) uncovered by Dr. Theodore Steckler. By splicing sheep visna virus and bovine leukemia with human tissue they created a retro virus we now call AIDS. A retro virus is a virus that mutates, AIDS mutates very rapidly, from one host to the next.
The World Health Organization (a United Nations organization) vaccinated people in Haiti, Brazil, & Central Africa with smallpox vaccine that contained AIDS. Drs. Robert Gallo & Luc Montagnier put out the CIA cover story about a green monkey biting a native on the rear starting AIDS. AIDS does not exist naturally in any animal. The green monkey’ s kidney is used to cultivate the smallpox vaccine. This monkey would have had to be a jet pilot to have started this disease in three countries at the same time.
On May 11,1987 the front page of the London Times reported “smallpox vaccine triggers AIDS virus” WHO (the World Health Organization) murdered Africa, they immunized the people with its new weapon, AIDS. WHO conducted the most intense immunization program in it’s history against small pox and on the tail end of this program to eradicate small pox they used this new weapon, vaccinating millions with AIDS. The figures of vaccinations with AIDS in Africa are as follows; 36,878,000 Zaire; 19,060,000 Zambia; 14,972,000 Tanzania; 11,616,000 Uganda; 8,118,000 Malawai; 3,382,000 Ruanda; 3,274,000 Buruni. 14,000 Haitians on United Nations secondment in Central Africa prior to their return to Haiti. Let us not forget the WHO executive Board for 1980 Chairman: Dr. A.M. Abdulhadi (Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) Vice Chairmen: Dr. Dora Galego Pimentel (Cuba) Dr. Shwe Tin (Burma) Professor I. Dogramaci (Turkey) Rapporteurs Dr. Adeline W. Patterson (Jamaica) Dr. D. Barakamfitiye (Burundi).
AIDS was then injected into the US, in New York about two Years later in Hepatitis B vaccine. Due to regular of the occurrence of hepatitis B in the homosexual community because of sodomy, they lined up for their shots and spread it in America.
In 1994 Bryan Elison and Co-author Dr. Peter Duesberg of the University of California had their book “ Why We Will Never Win the War on AIDS” censored, bought out and banned by elements within the US government. Because these AIDS researchers uncovered yet another lie. HIV does not cause AIDS! There are over 5000 case studies of people with full blown AIDS that never had HIV. HIV is like other harmless viruses after your body produces antibodies that kill it, it can be found in your limp glands (dead). Now here is the truth about HIV. If left alone it does nothing, but when diagnosed the medical community recommends ( at the recommendation of CDC) treatment with the “AIDS cocktail”. This cocktail contains a toxic failed cancer chemotherapy AZT. Which causes anemia, bone marrow loss, muscle wasting, virtually destroying your immune system and mimicking AIDS and killing you.
The Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) simi-secret agency, Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) which many refer to as the medical CIA, still maintains that HIV causes AIDS and supports the AZT death sentence. EIS members have been scattered throughout the World Health Organization, one became Surgeon General two others became assistant Surgeon Generals and let us not forget Jonathan Mann and Michael Merson were the heads of the WHO’s Global Aids Program.
The Public Health Department was set up years ago to protect the public from communicable diseases. They would quarantine infection persons caring diseases. They would notify the public and ask their help to isolate such problems. Today however the times have changed. If you have AIDS your privacy is guaranteed, and you are not isolated. Your employer can’t be told without your permission even in the food preparation industry, yet a food service worker on average cuts his finger 2 to 3 times a week .
1990 CDC ruled blood as a toxic substance all protective precautions to be taken by health care professionals. Teachers are given latex gloves to handle children with injuries that are bleeding. You can’t inform the school or parents which children have AIDS. Early on we were told AIDS is a hard virus to catch as it is a very fragile virus”. It was also stated that the virus had been isolated in “many different bodily fluids including saliva and tears’.(WHO chronicle 39(6)p.208 1985). Yet the Pasture Institute and Lancet, a prestigious medical publication, revealed AIDS virus stays alive in dried bodily fluid for 7 days, 14 days in wet bodily fluid. AIDS virus will stay alive in a dead body for over18 hours. It was found pouring alcohol on AIDS virus for 20 minutes will not kill it. Bleach full strength or 1 to 5 parts water will kill it in dried bodily fluids. May 5th 1990 (vol. 335 p.1105) Lancet revealed AIDS transmitted at a soccer match Dec. 1989by an infected player hitting heads with another player exchanging blood. Lancet 1995 AIDS transmitted at wedding during a fist fight. We were told at first kissing was no problem but the saliva contains blood 91% of the time after kissing. Skin is not a barrier as any abrasion, or cut allows in the virus. A doctor died from AIDS after contracting it when blood squirted into his eye during an operation. The CDC has warned eye Drs. not to store contacts in fluid from other patients, do they mean to tell us tears may transfer the virus? Mucus membranes will absorb the AIDS virus even though the skin is not broken.
Coughing, sneezing , and breathing can expel bodily fluids in a mist and the AIDS virus has been found to stay alive for over 2 feet outside the human body.
The RCMP spent over 1/2 their budget over 3 years tracking down tainted blood that had been bought from prisons in Arkansas during the Clinton governorship, that was contaminated with hepatitis and AIDS. Most of which went to the manufacture of products for hemophiliacs.
The schools pass out condoms to our children to promote “safe sex”. Laytex has microscopic holes that measure 3 microns in size, the AIDS virus is only 1 micron , that like me or you walking through a door. We have been lied to on a grand scale. We have been told that we are safe, but when following the governments and medical community advice we are being murdered.
WHY YOU MAY ASK? WHO PROFITS FROM MURDERING 5 BILLION PEOPLE?
The AIDS industry is $300 billion a year industry. But that is not the whole story.
It was during the Jimmy Carter era that what has been known as PLAN 2000 (later Global 2000) was first discovered by George Green. Green was asked to be a finical advisor within the Carter administration two years prior to the election. The administration revealed plan 2000, the plan to reduce the world’s population to under 2 billion around the year 2000. Green bailed out of the administration only to reveal the plan.
Further documenting the outcome of this plan through documents from the Corbin Clubs dated Sept 20,91. U.S. Representative Gephardt was its Secretariat at that time. Corbin Club “mandates compulsory population control in 166 nations.” They agreed that United Nations Security Council would be implementing these policies;
A. “that all nations have a quotas for REDUCTION on a yearly basis, which will be enforced by the Security Council by “selective or total embargo of credit, items of trade including food and medicine, or by military force when required”.
B. The Security Council Will “ inform all nations that outmoded notions of national sovereignty will be discarded and that the Security Council has complete legal, military, and economic jurisdiction in any region in the world and this will be enforced by the Major Nations of the Security Council”
C. “will take possession of all natural resources, including the watersheds, and the great forests, to be used and preserved for the Major Nations of the Security Council.”
D. “ The Security Council of the UN will explain that not all races and people are equal, nor should they be. Those races proven superior by superior achievements ought to rule the lesser races, caring for them on the sufferance that they cooperate with the Security Council. Decision making, including banking, trade, currency rates, and economic rates, and economic development plans, will be made in stewardship by the major Nations.”
E. “ All the above constitute the New World Order, in which Order, all nations, regions and races will cooperate with the decisions of the Major Nations of the Security Council.”
This purpose of their document is “ to demonstrate that action delayed could be fatal. All could be lost if mere opposition by minor races is tolerated and unfortunate vacillations of our closest comrades is cause for our hesitations. Open declaration of intent followed by decisive force is the final solution. This must be done before shock hits our financial markets, tarnishing our credibility and perhaps diminishing our force.”
Haven’t we heard this racist “final solution” stuff somewhere before? All quotes from their document above are accurate.
Documentation from Negative Population Control of Teaneck N.J., a non-profit organization founded in 1972,concures.Their advisory board reads like a who’s who of major universities in the U.S. and England, their director at the time of their publication was Donald W. Mann. Their “solution” is the same “drastic reduction in human numbers over a period of years.” Their goal: “to under two billion for the world” and “not more than 150 million for the US” in the same time frame. They advocate “spending 50 % of US annual foreign aid for population assistance programs”
The Missler Report
Did HIV exist prior to 1976?
How was HIV distributed to thousands in New York and Africa?
Was AIDS purposefully manufactured for population control?
On June 9, 1969 (the same month as the Stonewall Uprising launched the Gay Rights Movement) Pentagon spokesman Dr. Donald MacArthur testified before Congress: "Within the next five to ten years, it would probably be possible to make a new infective microorganism which could differ in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organism. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease. A research program to explore the feasibility of this could be completed in approximately five years at a total cost of $10 million." (HB 15090, pg 129) Indeed, "a disease-causing organism... refractory [resistant] to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease" appeared within "5 to 10 years." HIV is the first and only disease to fulfill such a definition. Proving that AIDS emerged simultaneously in Africa and America in the late 1970s, Scientific American (March 1996) published, "The African AIDS Epidemic," which states: "One frequently mentioned explanation for the severe epidemic in the AIDS belt is that the virus originated here and continues to move outward from an epicenter of disease. But AIDS cases appeared in hospitals in Uganda and Rwanda at the same time they did in the West, and no stored human-tissue samples taken from Africans during the 1970s are HIV-positive."
Disregard for American life is emphasized in domestic use of biological warfare against American citizens. Part of the story was in Phoenix Letter (November 1992.) This described Congressional approval for U.S. Army development of an artificial AIDS virus in 1970. This shocker is part of a larger story.
A REPORT ON THE ABUSE OF POWER
Editor: Anthony C. Sutton December 1993 Vol. 12, No.12
BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS
A once free United states has become an "us" versus "them" society. Similar to the early Hitler years in Germany (burning of the Reichstag = Waco massacre) with touches of Stalinist horror (extermination of the "kulaks.")
The late Gary Allen (of None Dare Call It Conspiracy fame) used to cite Nelson Rockefeller's habit of terming Americans "peasants." But Gary had no idea how far elitist contempt for the "peasants" had gone even in the late 1960's.
Compare Waco with Somalia. The FBI and BATF used tanks to destroy Koresh and his followers. The U.S. deliberately used tanks against American citizens.
In Somalia the U.S. sent in Rangers and U.S. troops without armored backup although assaults without tanks and self propelled artillery are doomed to failure. The White House threw away 7 American lives using McNamara "rules of engagement" in Somalia. In Waco the "rules of engagement" concept was thrown out the window.
Disregard for American life is emphasized in domestic use of biological warfare against American citizens. Part of the story was in Phoenix Letter (November 1992.) This described Congressional approval for U.S. Army development of an artificial AIDS virus in 1970. This shocker is part of a larger story.
Here's another installment of the domestic biological warfare story:
U. S. Army-CIA jointly used biological agents against American citizens inside the U.S.
These agents included: bacillus subtilis, smallpox and AIDS.
The Federal Government has concealed then lied about these programs and placed the blame elsewhere, including the former Soviet Union.
State Department attempted to counter an exaggerated Soviet propaganda war using these programs but tripped up because State did not know how much authentic information had leaked inside the U.S.
The Phoenix Letter is mailed monthly and maintains a conservative free-market economics philosophy.

Fort Dietrich Biological
Programs In The 1960's
Fort Dietrich in Maryland is the U.S. biological warfare base. Originally called U.S. Army Biological Laboratories it is now labeled U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)
The Army maintains a Special Operations Division (SOD) on the Fort Dietrich base with a formal operating agreement with CIA (Memorandum signed in May 1952.) Both CIA and Army have covered their tracks well but some original documents survive to outline a horrific story.
In the early 60's U.S. Army SOD personnel used specially designed suitcases to spray unsuspecting American civilians with bacillus subtilis at the Greyhound Bus Terminals in Washington, Chicago and San Francisco. Similar operations were conducted at airports in Washington D.C., New York, Boston and Los Angeles. The number of one way tickets sold at time of release was used to estimate distribution of the bacterial agents. (Bacillus subtilis can be bought at biological supply houses. It is not listed as a pathogen, but can cause respiratory infections, blood poisoning and food poisoning.)
According to declassified Army documents the Greyhound terminals in San Francisco and Chicago were the location for "six operatives to launch covert attacks" spread over 7 days. Specially designed suitcases sprayed bacteria into crowded terminals for maximum exposure. Photographs were taken and other Army personnel "covertly collected air samples in close proximity to the passengers" to determine if the civilians had been infected.
Later tests were repeated with smallpox a2ents, grown in large quantities and converted to a lethal powder for spraying. Senate investigation in 1975 revealed close cooperation between SOD and CIA:
"CIA association with Fort Dietrich involved the Special Operations Division (SOD) of that facility. This division was responsible for developing special applications for biological warfare agents and toxins. Its principal customer was the U.S. Army. Its concern was with the development of both suitable agents and delivery mechanisms for use in paramilitary situations. Both standard biological warfare agents and biologically derived toxins were investigated by the division."
The Senate Committee found the CIA had covered its tracks to conceal this unconstitutional activity from the American public. The Senate Committee stated "Although some CIA originated documents have been found in the project files it is clear that only a very limited documentation of activities took place."
An extract from a U.S. Army report details why smallpox was selected as the agent of choice." Its "attractive" features are listed as:
1. Smallpox is highly infectious with close contact. It spreads readily from an infected person to susceptible individuals.
2. A long incubation period of relatively constant duration permits the operatives responsible to leave the country before the first case is diagnosed
3. The duration of illness for those who recover is relatively long. Although the Federal Government claims that the 1972 treaty banning biological weapons stopped further use of Fort Dietrich we know that the U.S. Amy applied for $1.4 million appropriation to EXPAND germ warfare testing ability in the early 1980's. Senator James Sasser objected and it is unlikely that the appropriation went through. It could have been handled on the "black budget."
THE ORIGINATOR OF AIDS
In July 1969 Dr. MacArthur, Director of the U.S. Army Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) appeared before Congress (the Appropriations Committee of the House) and stated:
" within a period of 5-10 years it would be possible to produce a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired."
This synthetic anent is AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency syndrome virus or HIV-1) ARPA requested $10 million to develop AIDS, 10 years before the virus was identified in the field.
Dr. MacArthur added, "It is a highly controversial issue and there are many who believe such research should not be undertaken lest it lead to another method of massive killing of large populations."
From 1961 to 1968 while this artificial biological agent was under discussion in the pentagon, Robert McNamara was Secretary of Defense. Clark Clifford (of BCCI notoriety) took over as Secretary in 1969.
On October 2, 1970 just 15 months after Dr. MacArthur requested an apl2rol2riation for AIDS development, Robert McNamara, now World Bank President, made a speech to international bankers in which he identified population growth as "the gravest issue that the world faces over the years ahead."
In his speech to the bankers McNamara argued that population growth was leading to instability, that a 10 billion world population would not be "controllable."
Said McNamara, "It is not a world that any of us would want to live in. Is such a world inevitable? It is not sure but there are two possible ways by which a world of 10 billion people can be averted. Either the current birth rates must come down more quickly or the current death rates must go up. There is no other way."
In brief, Robert McNamara was in the final decision making role for development of AIDS at the very time he was contemplating the idea that "world death rates must got up." THIS IS MORE THAN COINCIDENCE.
Our conclusion is that Robert McNamara knowingly encouraged development of AIDS as a means to reduce the worlds' Population. It is difficult to arrive at any other Conclusion.
New From Russia
Slowly bits and pieces of hidden history are leaking from Russia. Official U.S. history is that the U.S. was fighting only Vietnamese in Vietnam. It now appears Soviets were there as well, fighting U.S. Soviets had casualties, so far 16 admitted killed in action.
This explains the heat this editor came under with National Suicide: Military Aid To The Soviet Union. A detailed criticism of our technological aid to the Soviet Union while the Soviets were aiding the Vietnamese kill Americans. No wonder we came under so much pressure to keep quiet! Our big businessmen were actively committing treason! If the Soviets were fighting in Vietnam, then the Soviets were an active enemy, not a passive onlooker.
Henry Kisssinger and Robert McNamara won't look too good in the light of history when the full story comes out. The Best Enemy Money Can Buy is still available from Liberty House Press 1-800-343-6180. (It's a rewrite and update of the original National Suicide: Military Aid To The Soviet Union which caused a storm 20 years ago.)
Soviet Union Charges Pentagon With Aids
Development
This information became known to the Soviets and in October 1985 the Soviet Union mounted a world wide propaganda campaign. Aids had been manufactured at Fort Dietrich Maryland by the Pentagon. The initial information was planted in a Soviet backed newspaper in India and then surfaced in more than 30 media sources world wide. The report was backed by an East German report by Professor Jacob Segal of Humbolt University, East Berlin. Segal argued that the AIDS virus is "the product of an abortive experiment carried out at a laboratory to develop biological warfare means."
This Soviet propaganda campaign was discounted in the West (this Editor included.) It was beyond the realm of rationality that the U.S. would develop a killer agent such as AIDS.
Professor Segal appears to hold the view that it was "accidental" i.e. an "abortive experiment." This position we also held for a while, until the McNamara speech of October 1970 surfaced.
In any event in the late 80's the U.S. State Department ran a rebuttal campaign to the Soviet charges. However State was unaware that the Congress had published Dr. MacArthur's requests and statements so the rebuttal fell flit on its face. The State Department for example claims the U.S. Army had never used Fort Dietrich as a biological warfare base. This is just not true. Further State apparently had no knowledge of the McNamara contemplation of rising death rates by design.
Conclusions
1. CIA - U.S. Army undertook field tests with bacillus subtilis and smallpox against American civilians.
2. There is no question that the Army received funds from Congress for AIDS development and this was probably undertaken at Fort Dietrich.
The AIDS release could have been accidental but we discount this for several reasons. Initial cases came from Africa and Haiti, not the United States. Second, Robert McNamara had simultaneously called for increase in world death rates. This suggests a deliberate policy of controlled release of the AIDS virus.
3. The Soviets obtained the information and used it for a propaganda campaign.
The State Department rebuttal was ineffective because State had no idea how much information had already been made public.
Postscript
Phoenix Letter has reported a new string of AIDS virus, much tougher, much more dangerous and possibly airborne. In early 1990 Science reported that AIDS researcher Dr. Robert Gallo had tested an altered AIDS virus, one that could infect' cells previously left uninfected by the early AIDS strain. This new strain was reported as infecting epithelia] cells thus raising the possibility that the AIDS virus is now airborne.
We find it extraordinary that any risks are taken today, after the Cold War has ended with these agents. What is the rationale in developing stronger- airborne strains?
ROBERT McNAMARA AND ENVELOPMENT OF AIDS
December Phoenix Letter we described how the U.S. Army (ARPA) developed the AIDS virus with ten million dollars voted by Congress in 1969.
The Secretary of Defense at that time, and responsible for approval of the 1969-1970 budget, was Robert McNamara, followed by Clark Clifford of BCCI notoriety. The final decisions for the AIDS program was made by McNamara and Clifford.
The standard biography of Robert McNamara Promise and Power (The life and time of Robert McNamara) by Deborah Shapley (Little Brown, Boston 1993) has interesting comments on the McNamara view of world over population and the critical need to reduce world population i.e. an excellent rationale for development of a virus resistant to cure.
In 1966 McNamara warned that world population was growing faster than gross national product and that the World Bank had a dominant role to play.
In 1969 McNamara's speech to the Governors of the University of Notre Dame cited the population explosion as more significant than the danger of nuclear war. "Casting its shadow over all this scene is the mushrooming cloud of the population explosion" (page 480).
McNamara extended the extraordinary thesis that "the children who were dying were fortunate, for the millions of those who lived languidly on were stunted in their bodies and cripples in their minds."
Shapley points out that inside the World Bank these McNamara views on population sounded almost nutty" and many wondered where McNamara had gotten these ideas.
But this was precisely the time when McNamara moved from Secretary of Defense to take over the World Bank. The same year, 1969, when the U.S. Army went before Con2ress to ask for $10 million to develol2 an AIDS virus.
By 1973 (page 5 1 0) McNamara had steered the World Bank to explore the cycle of overpopulation, insufficient food and poverty and in the Fall of 1973 at the annual meeting of World Bank Governors in Nairobi, Kenya outlined his QUANTITATIVE GOALS for population. "Nairobi" became synonymous with the McNamara population reduction five year plan. Coincidentally Nairobi and Kenya became initial focal points for the AIDS virus. Kenya and Uganda in East Africa is where the epidemic began and where today some 50% or more of the population is infected.
In 1977 McNamara spoke at MIT and argued that world population was exploding at an unacceptable rate. McNamara was so intensely carried away with the ideas of population explosion that he reportedly (at a lunch meeting) started to scribble numbers on the dining room table cloth, "there was no stopping his verbal torrent or his emotion." The table cloth was tinged with scribbled numbers and "looked like an artifact left by an ancient visitor from another world." (page 560)
The Shapely book has a great deal more on the McNamara fervor to control world population. While development of an AIDS virus may appear to most of us as tragically even murderously wrong, to a ideologue like McNamara it would appear to be opportunity to solve what he saw as potential disaster.
Matching the time frames and the opportunities for decision making there is a least a prima facie case, well worth investigating, that Robert McNamara knowingly and deliberately encouraged development of the AIDS virus.
Phoenix Letter views the McNamara program, continued by Clark Clifford, as genocide.
BOOK REPORT. AIDS: THE UNNECESSARY EPIDEMIC
(Stanley Monteith, MD Order from Aids Book, 618 Frederick Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95062 $17.00 post.)
Dr. Monteith was one of the very first to recognize the significance of AIDS and has devoted over 20 years of his life to investigation and warning about the dangerous nature of the disease to everyone. We distinctly remember meeting with Dr. Monteith as far back as 1981 when he prophetically laid out to this Editor the epidemic potential in AIDS. This long before even African Governments had recognized the killer potential.
This book, excellently written and produced, contains Dr. Monteith's conclusions and is far in advance of other AIDS books simply because he is well aware of the elitist nature of world control. The neglect of government and politics to face up to the disease and its implications is clearly outlined and we are left with the question is this deliberate neglect to destroy the United States? Although Dr. Monteith does not touch on the documentary evidence published in Phoenix Letter concerning the roles of U.S. Army (Fort Detrich) and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara (indeed this would be irrelevant for the medical approach) Dr. Monteith's evidence is entirely consistent with the argument that there is deliberation in the spread of AIDS.
More surprising we learn in great detail how the Gay Lobbies are insistent in policies and actions that encourage the epidemic.
You will read that Congressmen Panetta (Clinton Cabinet) and Congressman Waxman of Los Angeles are associated with policies that promote the epidemic. How American Medical Association, Centers for Disease Control, and the Surgeon General attack any doctor who dare propose monitoring or controlling the disease. The numbers of HIV infected are just not known, they are mere crude underestimates because Government refuses to adopt procedures that would give us a realistic count.
For your personal protection we urge you to read this book. It will be a harsh dose of realism to counter the propaganda pap issued by Government and AIDS lobbies.
AIDS Was Deliberately Created By the United States Government
AIDS is a synthetic biological agent, knowingly and deliberately created by the United States Government. Development funds were not included in any secret "black budget," they were openly voted on by Congress.
In 1969 Department of Defense representatives appeared before the Defense Subcommittee of the House and requested $10 million in 1970 DOD Appropriations for design and manufacture of a synthetic AIDS virus.
Specifically, on Tuesday, July 1, 1969, Dr. MacArthur of the Army Advanced Research Project Agency made the following statement to the Subcommittee:
"There are two things about the biological field agent I would like to mention. One is the possibility of technical surprise. Molecular biology is a field that is advancing very rapidly and eminent biologists believe that within a period of five to ten years it would be possible to produce a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired."
MacArthur later submitted more detail to the Congressional Committee. The key points were:
1. Up to this point, (1969) all biological agents are naturally occurring.
2. It is possible to make a "new infective micro-organism" that would be "refractory to the immulogical and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious diseases."
3. A research program would take six years and $10 million.
4. The program should be initiated through the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC).
5. The matter was discussed with NAS-NRC and "tentative plans were made to initiate the program.
The report added:
"It is a highly controversial issue and there are many who believe such research should not be undertaken lest it lead to another method of 'massive killing of large populations."
By 1972, the World Health Organization called on scientists to work on such viruses "to see if viruses can in fact exert selective effects on the immune function." (WHO is supposedly devoted to "health" progress and financed in part by the U.S. taxpayer on this supposition. See Bulletin of World Health Organization, 1972, 47:257-63.)
Dr. Theodore Strecker, a health care consultant, has tracked the story of AIDS through WHO and collaboration with U.S. Army Laboratories in Fort Detrick, Maryland (now National Cancer Institute.)
Apparently, the AIDS virus was released in Uganda, Haiti, Brazil and Japan about 1972-74. This was not an accident. It was deliberate release. (See Who Murdered Africa by William Campbell Douglas, M.D., P.O. Box 1568, Clayton, GA 30525.) AIDS entered the United States through the New York Blood Center/Centers for Disease Control in the late 1970's.
In conclusion, we note that Congress knowingly, voted funds for this development program in the 1970 Appropriations.

A REPORT ON THE ABUSE OF POWER
Editor: Anthony C. Sutton March 1994 Vol. 13, No.3
AIDS Epidemic Cover Up
HIV-AIDS is a virtually out of control epidemic with government officials and gay lobbies jointly imposing censorship to hide the true picture from the American public.
Half a dozen books have emerged in recent months which tell similar stories: gay lobbies control AIDS policy and only interested in preserving rights, whatever happens to the rest of America.
Because of their united lockstep, political power gays dominate the AIDS political scene. Gay rights have absolute precedence over public health.
There is disturbing evidence that the virus is transmitted by more than sexual contact and blood. It is certainly carried by (one testing procedure is based on saliva) and may be airborne. Initial experiments demonstrate airborne capability. Government officials dominated by gays refuse to follow up with research on these initial findings, because the gay lobby fm monitoring and quarantine. Right now AIDS has the potential to wipe out the world but @ treated as an infectious disease. Doctors cannot routinely monitor, test and report, they are restricted by official limitations not applied to other infectious diseases.
wow.... is the government also putting roofies in our alcohol so we have more sex?
I don't know why they don't go to town on the DRACO therapy being developed by MIT, the most promising-sounding thing to hit medicine in a long time:
Anal sex tends to tear the lining of the anus and allows for a higher rate of infection.
Thus, it spread faster in the male gay population. It's why it was called The GAY PLAGUE.
Get over it. Sorry gay men, because of the sex they practice, makes it easier for them to get AIDS.
It's a fact.
