Iconoclaster - 05 Oct 2005 14:50 GMT >"Why are *we* the ones being called goons?" That's very simple, Mr. Canzi: From the day the HIV/AIDS theory was launched, alternate theories were preëmpted. Funds for gathering evidence were withheld, dissident publications were blocked. The major authority on retroviruses, Peter Duesberg was dragged before a presidential committee with the special purpose of discrediting him (You should see Katie Leishman's account of that session!). For 20 years, people with criticism or questions about the HIV-theory have been shouted down, silenced, banned from discussion boards, and even fired from their jobs. I think one only has to look at the names some of the dissidents have been called, just for expressing non-approved thoughts, or even for asking simple questions, to realize that we are up against a tough and raucus mob.
Right now there is an ominous persecution going on against women who are guilty of nothing more than the very natural acts of having babies and breastfeeding them. The government has gotten into the practice of submitting pregnant women to extremely unreliable tests for suspected antibodies. Any positive test will ruin another life. The unfortunate mother who tests positive (even false positive) is prohibited from the healthy practice of breastfeeding, and forced to poison her own baby. Refusal is punished by taking away the child. Little children in the custody of the state have no chance at all for survival. They are incarcerated in institutions run by doctors who learned their profession from nazi doctor Mengele, and systematically experimented to death. Yes, it is dangerous these days to give birth in the U.S. The day is not far away when desperate mothers will start putting their newborn babies in little baskets, and let them float downstream the Mississippi, in the hope of getting them to safety.
One member of the AME board came up with the term "Health nazis" for those who are putting this blot on American History. It was I who coined the phrase "HIV-goons". And I think it fits, because you, Mr. Canzi, and your co-perpetrators are the first line of defense whenever someone starts to ask questions or utters criticism. But I'm mad as hell, and I don't take it any longer. The apologists have shown their bad faith by attacking Christine Maggiore, a grieving mother who lost a child. And now... it's war. We're coming after you. The HIV myth must disappear!

Bullshit. A LOT of studies have been done to look at the role of superantigens, autoimmunity, recreational drug use and so forth. You clearly have not even bothered to LOOK for those data.
Which again makes you wholly incompetent to be discussing these issues, despite your outrageous claims to having had some formal education and, even more ludicrously, actually been in a position to "teach" people. What a ghastly thought.

Just keeping on, telling the same old lies, eh, Mr. Carter? Those data are simply not there. Every study pretending to investigate the influence of recreational drugs or auto-immunity on the immune system immediately drags 'HIV' into the picture. How the hell could you ever 'prove' that HIV causes a depression of CD4 cells if the first thing you do is assuming that it does. Have you ever heard of circular reasoning? It goes like this: "A cow is a cow. Because, if it were not, it would be something else. And something else is not a cow. So a cow is a cow." Now that's the level of 'logical reasoning' the AIDS researchers use. The sloppy argument that was used when that "Super-HIV strain" was found in N.Y is case in point: "Crystal meth does not make you sick, oh no! But crystal meth makes you more reckless about having unprotected sex. So your chances of catching HIV increase. And THAT makes you sick!" (Just a moment. Let me puke...) Right... So, what I mean is: You can really tell that my teaching days are over. During my academic years, none of these Johnnie-come-lately would have dared to spout such nonsense.

And, after 20 years of repression, I think even more drastic actions are called for. We've had it with the HIV-goons.

Again why is it an attack to question the medical care provided to a child that is 'suspected' to have died as a result of decisions made by the parent. If the child had died from suspected physical abuse would it be an attack to ask if the parent should have been able to prevent that abuse or get the child medical care?

Iconoclaster - 06 Oct 2005 02:10 GMT >"Have you read the actual transcript, I have, it does not support any of the statements made in denialist dogma as to what occurred before that committee."
My, my, Mr. Stein, do you really believe a transcript of a totally political committe meeting? I didn't read it, because I would not trust it anyway. But I did read the report of Katie Leishman, which appeared in The Wall Street Journal on Feb. 26, 1988. You can still find it here:
http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:2thnz_Qz4U0J:www.aidsinfobbs.org/articles/wa llstj/88/060+%22The+AIDS+DEBATE+that+isn%27t%22&hl=en
Up to that point I had no meaning about the "AIDS epidemic". It just didn't interest me. But when I read in what insolent way Peter Duesberg, the major authority on retroviruses, was treated by Frank Lilly and his bunch of nitwits, people who were not even qualified to wash Dr. Duesberg's glassware, I got imediately interested. This AIDS hullabaloo had to be political, I thought. So I read the original "discovery" by the Montagnier group, and the would-be discovery by Gallo... And they could hear me shout for several blocks: "Bullshit! bullshit!! bullshit!!! And I was an instant HIV-dissident.
>"Again a group of statements with little basis in fact do you ever have anything to say that can be supported by a reference to actual facts?"
Do you want that notarized? I personally know people who tried to post on orthodox boards, and got banned immediately. There is the very public example of peter Duesberg, who suddenly found all his grant proposals and publications turned down. The only respectable journal he can still publish in is the Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., because he is a member of the Academy. His speaking appointments were canceled, and Tony Fauci replaced him on several occasions. Katie Leishman never published another article in The Wall Street journal. Liam Scheff had to publish his article about the Guinea Pig Kids in The Weekly Dig, because the major newspapers would not accept it. And, as even you should know, it doesn't pay to be a whistleblower at NIH: You get fired. Last January, I gave a presentation in Brazil at the International Social Forum. My talk came right after a lot of propaganda for condoms, 'safe sex' and other horseshit. I'm still laughing about it, but the leaders of the dissident group who had invited me, got sued by the State Health Dept. The unspeakable Mark Wainberg would like to put prominent dissidents like Duesberg in jail... So is anyone surprised that it's all-out war? I won't be satisfied with anything less than total destruction of the HIV=AIDS myth, and disavowal of all those who (profess to) believe in it.
>"You love to make apocalyptic statements yet have yet to provide a single piece of data to back up your beliefs as to the so called "unreliable tests".
You have the nerve to ask ME for data? I didn't design those tests. Those who did are required to provide data to show that they really work and produce reliable results. In the case of the PCR method that is used in newborn babies, it's not even known what it is they are measuring. They ASSUME it's 'HIV-matrial' Is it? Data, please!
>"Hell do a Google search on HIV-goon in MHA and you will find it appeared long before you did claster, is this another one of those things you just know to be true because one day you decided that was what you wanted the truth to be?"
Oh well, did someone use the term before I did? OK, no problem I won't lay claim to it, although I made it up myself. But then, the term is so appropriate that other people also came up with the same thing, right? It's self-evident.
>"Again why is it an attack to question the medical care provided to a child that is 'suspected' to have died as a result of decisions made by the parent."
Because the interests of the child were never considered. The 'suspicion' was completely based on the hatred against the mother, who is one of the most prominent and successful HIV-dissidents. If they could only show (or make the moronic majority believe) that the child dies of AIDS, then... (heeheehee...) They are practically dancing on the grave of that innocent child.

As to ANY research paper, it is always good to review the data closely. You don't appear to have ever done so.

How about me, David? Do you think I am here because somebody other than you did wrong to somebody other than me?
I was diagnosed as HIV-positive in November of 2000 at the Multnomah County Clinic in Portland, Oregon. And I was *devistated* at being told I was going to DIE.
I cried so hard I couldn't breath.
I was NOT told, however, *anything* about the information I came across four years later that seriously questions the validity of the HIV theory of AIDS.
I was NOT told there are legitimate, qualified scientists and doctors questioning the HIV theory whose are voices *not* being heard by those to need to hear them most.
I was NOT told that the HIV tests *all* have disclaimers nullifying their ability to detect "HIV."
I was NOT told the Elisa and Western Blot tests are highly cross-reactive, since they detect non-specific antibodies, and can react to any number of conditions.
I was NOT told that my positive test results were "interpreted" based on the "risk group" I belonged to, which is how I gained my membership in Club Dread.
I was NOT told how my close call with a diagnosis of "full-blown AIDS" was based soley on a standard recognized only by the CDC and not on the presence of any AIDS-defining illnesses.
I was NOT told about the very *sorted* history of how "HIV" came to be *touted* as the cause of AIDS nor about the subsequent struggle over who got credit for the highly-lucrative HIV antibody tests.
I was NOT told how the first scientist to map the genetic structure of retroviruses, Dr. Peter Duesberg, had been publically questioning the HIV theory of AIDS since it's early days.
I was NOT told how the creator of the viral load test, Dr. Kary Mullis, came to find out there were no papers supporting "HIV" as the probable cause of AIDS, let alone the irrefutable one.
And when I came across all of this information, the questions I asked myself were:
Why the *f.ck* wasn't I told any of this?
Why the *f.ck* was this information being withheld from the public?
Why the *f.ck* wasn't any of this being reported by the media "watchdogs?"
So, I am here for one reason and one reason only:

Even though you claim >that is the first thing doctors do to HIV positive patients. Just for grins >what was your CD4 count and Viral Load counts at the time you were >diagnosed? My "HIV specialist," Dr. Leggett at Providence Hopital in Portland, gave me the option of starting the meds right away if I wanted to, but I opted out. His philosophy was to put the patient on meds if *not* being on them was going to cause stress.
He wanted to put me on something (I don't recall what now) when my T-cell count was at around 225 (though, I can't remember what my "viral load" was at the time). He was very concerned about my "numbers," and how close I was to having "full blown AIDS."
I remember looking him right in the eye and saying, "If my numbers are so bad, shouldn't I feel *sick*?"
His reply was, "Well, not necessarily..."
At the time, I thought it was kind of *odd* that I was supposed to be running up to death's door and, yet, I wasn't feeling ill at all. Later on, it all made sense, of course...
Anyhoo, I am going in for a complete physical at the end of the month, so I will try to ask what my numbers were during the time I got the "viral load" and T-cell count tests done, so we can all have a good laugh!
I also remember he told me I was probably a LTNP during one of our appointments. I don't recall how long I had been testing when he said that, but - again - it struck me as *odd* he would know that when I'd only been diagnosed a short time ago...
Of course, later on, *all of these discrepancies* made perfect sense - and that's why we're here having these lively discussions!

Actually, I totally believed the whole HIV=AIDS=Death paradigm until I, literally, stumbled onto the dissident movement, quite by accident. I got my "viral load" and T-cell counts done every few months like a good, little patient, but I believed in taking a more holistic approach to my health...
So, when I read an ad in Just Out (the local gay rag in Portland) posted by a guy named Bob, who said something about being a Long-Term Non-Progressor (which I'd been called by my HIV specialist) and how he had been living for 20 years, without HIV meds, and with a "dissident" attitude, I went to one of the sites he recommended - thinking I would find info on alternative methods for keeping the immune system healthy (read: accupunture, yoga, etc.) - but it turned out to be www.aliveandwell.org.
I just about crapped myself when I started reading:
"Did You Know.... Many experts contend that AIDS is not a fatal, incurable condition caused by HIV? That most of the AIDS information we receive is based on unsubstantiated assumptions, unfounded estimates and improbable predictions? That the symptoms associated with AIDS are treatable using non-toxic, immune enhancing therapies that have restored the health of people diagnosed with AIDS and that have enabled those truly at risk to remain well?"
And the rest, as they say, is history...

Oh yes, Mr. Canzi, you deserve it. Because you allow yourself to be used as a first line of defense, to shield the real villains.
