$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dukey', 'S')PG was already trying to 'debunk' the 2nd video only like 15 mins after I had posted it.


Sorry. I got as far as the "HIV? What HIV? There is no HIV. There are lots of drawings of it, but no-one's ever seen it. They're just making this all up."

At that point it was either turn off the video or end up killing my monitor. Can't stand people bold faced lying and then acting all put upon that others don't believe them.

Lies. And the lying liars who lie them.

Smallpoxgirl, I don't understand the hostile, name-calling stance. Name calling is an act of desperation. If you are right than your argument should feel effortless. The facts speak for themselves. It is like the time when 100 scientists confronted Einstein in a presentation to attempt to disprove his theories. If they were right, they would have only needed one.

I like how Raphael broke down Duesberg's argument into a list of points. So far, I find your argument pretty weak on the content side. Perhaps if you refuted all the points that Duesberg made individually, you would convince me much more effectively.

I happen to believe that every hypothesis should be treated in an objective way. Let the facts prove or disprove it.

It's not a question of should it spread widely. San Francisco Act Up has been killing people for over a decade with this crap. It won't spread widely for the same reason that most people don't believe in alien abduction. It's just manipulative made up non-sense and most people are bright enough to recognize that.

Usually the masses are wrong thus when I point to the fact that "even the masses get it!" as I did with the 9.11 MIHOP/LIHOP polls I sometimes remember to warn the reader of this fact.
Maybe it is just me reminding myself of how weird it is that a large percent align with what can be called a conspiracy theory...

I for one am quite content to be viewed as "non bright" by many all the minds here who have not given me or anyone present for that matter even one good reason to doubt the thoughts presented in this video.
It is rather to the contrary and in disdain of the "listen to me" attitude that I tend to believe the dissenting opinion even more because of this simple minded veil of resistance offered up by those with seemingly the loudest voices.

What I have learned over my lifetime is that nothing is as it seems and fact is usually much stranger then fiction. I believe this TRUTH applies equally well to the past, the present and to the future.

Besides the "few" I see a bunch of smart people with the ability to grasp Peak Oil yet little else and all in all this has been quite a sad and sobering realization.

If you want to stand up against the concepts presented by this video then by all means do so yet if what we have seen so far is all you have to give then you are nothing more then a contrarian stabbing away at a strawmonster that you want us to believe you are saving us from.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dukey', 'T')he fact that the original risk groups (ie gay people etc) are still the ones which are suffering with it. It did not spread into the rest of the population like a normal disease would.
The facts AIDS in africa is clearly very different. 50:50 ratio of male to females supposidly suffer it. In the western world its 90% homosexual men ? That can not be the same disease.


Here's the incredibly moronic part for me.

Of course it's the same disease, maybe differing strains somewhat, but certainly the same disease.

Gee, dukey, it wouldn't happen to have anything to do with completely different behavioral patterns?

That Africans with AIDS are told to screw newborn babies for a cure while Western homos just screw each other (and an occasional fake mate of the opposite sex once in awhile to make up the 10% hetero infections)?

Yeah, something's wrong alright. Humans shouldn't be screwing every species on the planet, including themselves, up the ass.

It's an exit, not an entrance. The rest of you homos, carry on.

you can have aids without having hiv

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')ZT is a cytotoxic chemical, a "DNA chain terminator." It interferes with DNA replication, by substituting itself for thymine, one of the base components in the DNA chain. This, theoretically, interferes with the reproduction of HIV. But it also interferes with the reproduction of the T-cell, the basis of the immune system, and the T-cell dies.

You know that I am not the person to be asking these questions.
Darts at carnival balloons...
Bells are ringing...

You might want to address the points with links to well researched facts or stand pale next to Raphael's well thought out if perhaps a bit excessive to some opinions post/rant.

A good question from someone like myself who is simply taking what he knows, listening and thinking about the theory being proposed and then doing his own math is:

"Where's the peer review?"
Oh its certainly not everything yet when you are talking about our collective health and all the government dollars being chased by all the medical scientist it is enormous!
It is par with giving people drugs that you never or barely tested.
What you say about this position clearly applies to your own.

So wheres the peer review?
I know this was used as a powerful tool on the 9.11 thread and the credibility of certain defenders of truth was splayed out on the table like so many organs during an autopsy.

Look at the credibility, look at the means and the motive etc etc.
Gallo was very wrong, he was wrong again and then finally without peer review and dare I speak of what appears to be an all out conspiracy of silence... he is "made" right.

Where's the Peer Review?
The same place it was concerning Climate Scientology for so many years.
The same place it is now concerning Peak Oil and what we should do about it.
Yes bells are ringing and one of them tolls for thee.

This is quite interesting. About when did the protocol change take place?

I only got the numbers from Sweden, but there has been a rather dramatic drop in what is defined as "deaths connected to HIV". Peak year was 1995 with 130 dead, 1996 was down to 104 and 1997 it was 47! The latest year with clean statistics is 2004, and now we are down to 20 deaths.

One of the problems some "HIV-skeptics" point out is that AIDS is a collection of some 40 different diseases, including pneumonia and Karposis sarcoma, and the presence of antibodies to HIV will affect the diagnosis. If you die from pneumonia but lack antibodies, it's classified as pneumonia, but if you HAVE the antibodies, it's classified as AIDS.

Since the very existence of antibodies is used for classifying a death in pneumonia as AIDS, it's very difficult to imagine a case of AIDS without HIV antibodies.

I see a bit of a problem here and I cant just ignore it.

I have not seen the film (!) and have not followed what every single "HIV-skeptic" has claimed, but I cant recall reading anything along those lines from Peter Duesberg. I have noted that he claimed that it has been impossible to find the virus in PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM AIDS, even terminally sick patients. But I might have missed something. Will check again.

You want a breakdown of the video? Here:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') think that I've been terrorized as a gay man into believing things about HIV and AIDS that are not provable.


Lie

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hat's not an epidemic. The number of cases went up exponentially because the number of tests went up exponentially.


Lie. Tests don't kill people. Diseases kill people. If people hadn't started dying in unusual numbers, no one would have invented a test.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t follows a long standing tradition of dumping our abandoned drugs onto the third world


*lie* In case you hadn't noticed, the pharmaceutical companys are suing to restrict the availability of AIDS drugs in the third world, not increase it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t's really society that is killing these people in general and modern medicine that's killing them in particular


lie

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') believe that I'm alive after 20 years because I didn't take AZT or any AIDS drug.

That is possibly true. Anti-retrovirals, especially the older ones, have some pretty gnarly side effects. The clinical course of HIV is highly variable. Some people can go many years without developing complications. The current clinical approach is to watch and wait. Meds are only started when the immune system starts to fail. In the early days, we started meds on everybody and probably some of them did die unnecessarily from med side effects.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')here is a severe crisis in science as a whole and medical science in particular. They don't question anything.

That's a blatant lie. The only way that any scientist justifies their existence and their funding is to question things.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')obody has ever seen HIV

You know thats a lie. You've seen it yourselves.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hen two parties look at the same data and come to two different conclusions, it's no longer scientific

That's garbage. Most data sets can be interpreted in multiple ways. That's part of the process is weeding out the incorrect hypotheses.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')here is so much money being pumped into AIDS that people have no incentive what so ever to see the truth.

Lie. I never got a dime of AIDS research money. No doctor I know did. The truth is blatantly obvious.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he best evidence against the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is that there is no evidence for it. In the vast scientific medical literature, over 100,000 journal articles published so far on HIV/AIDS, we can not find evidence that HIV causes AIDS, the AIDS is a contagious disease, or that it's sexually transmitted.

Blatant and categorical lies.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')f this had been shown, that HIV causes AIDS, we should know who these benefactors of humanity are, by name. These people would be candidates for the nobel prize. I challenge you, any American, journalist, scientist, to come up with the names of these individuals who we should revere and should honor with awards and things. I think you will find that you won't be able to come up with it.

Googling "HIV discovery" the FIRST hit contains the following quote. "In 1984, research groups led by Dr. Gallo, Dr. Luc Montagnier at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and Dr. Jay Levy at the University of California, San Francisco, all identified a retrovirus as the cause of AIDS"

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')here has never been viremia, which means the blood flooded with whole preinfectious viruses. If HIV were actually doing anything, making people sick, there would in fact be viremia, meaning millions of whole viruses per milliliter of plasma. In fact nobody has observed even one of them.

HIV's viremic stage occurs within a few days to a few weeks after infection. It is characterized by a flu like febrile illness with lymphadenopathy. During this period viral loads can reach 100 million copies per ml.

You yourself just observed maybe 100 of them, so it ought to be pretty obvious that's a lie.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')IV is so clever it knows to cause Kaposi Sarcoma in gay men. It knows to cause TB and wasting in IV drug users and it knows to cause diarrhea and cadidiasis in hemophiliacs.

Kaposi Sarcoma, like most AIDS defining illnesses, is a secondary infection. HIV weakens the immune system. The person then becomes vulnerable to infection by, among other things, human herpesvirus 8. HHV8 is the actual causitive agent of KS. HHV8 tends to be spread sexually in gay male communities and thus KS happens mostly in gay male communities.

Off the top of my head I don't know the reason for the other distinctions, but I would suspect that it's similar differences in exposure to other pathogens.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')o they invented a very strong antibioticum, and it's not an antibioticum to say, it's pure chemotherapy. It's a double folic acid antagonist. The good old sulfonamide and two of them put together would kill every microbe.

The medicine he's talking about here is trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. It's sold under the trade names Bactrim or Septra. It is hardly "strong" or "pure chemotherapy". It has a rather limited spectrum. It sure as heck doesn't "kill every microbe". The most common place where it is used is in the outpatient treatment of women with urinary infections.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'K')S is caused by nitrites as well, because the nitrites are transformed to NO only in the smallest blood vessels because the partial pressure of oxygen is high enough to perform this transformation and NO is a very potent growth stimulant, so we have neoplasia and hypoplasia in the endothelium and this condition is called Kaposi Sarcoma.

NO is not a growth stimulant, it's a vasodilator. If NO was a growth stimulant, everbody who took viagra would come down with Kaposi Sarcoma. Kaposi Sarcoma is not caused by nitrites. It is caused by HHV8 infection in combination with immunosupression.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he model of immunology would say, at this time, if the immune system is weak, so cancer would appear. This was a fundamental mistake and it was wrong when they said in 1981. They knew already in 1980 that this was wrong. The immune surveillance theory of cancer failed.

The immune system has an irrefutable role in surveillance for and removing cancer cells. People with inadequate immune function either congenitally, from transplantation drugs, or from AIDS are at high risk for a variety of cancers.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')f this constelation of symptoms, this syndrome, were caused by a virus, one would think that it would spread from the original risk populations into the general population. That's what infectious diseases do. They spread, out of the original risk populations. Problem is, through 1992, this simply wasn't the case. After ten years of the so called raging AIDS epidemic, 90% of cases remained in those original risk groups[gay men and IV drug users]. So you've got a disease that's restricted to certain risk groups and it's not spreading, hence it is highly unlikely that it is caused by a virus.

This sounds good, but it's actually not true. Most infectious diseases are not homogenously distributed in the population. Pediatricians and day care workers are more at risk for catching colds because they're around sick children a lot. People who live on Indian reservations or in very poor neighborhoods are at much higher risk for Hepatitis A infection because sanitation isn't as good. People who are in risk groups that cause them to be more likely to be exposed to an infectious agent, will always remain at higher risk of contracting that infection. AIDS has spread out somewhat. In 2005, about 30% of new cases resulted from heterosexual transmission. Never the less, homosexual men still have large numbers of sex partners. IV drug users continue to share needles. These groups will continue to be heavily affected by this disease in perpetuity.

That's the first 21 minutes of the film. Sorry I don't have time to critique the entire two hours, but this gives you a pretty good sense of the lies and misrepresentations being put forward.
