Blood Money: The HIV Conspiracy

So I recently came across a report suggesting that the annual HIV/AIDS market was worth US$12bn in 2009 and that this figure will be US$13bn by 2016. The irony is, many of the afflicted nations can hardly weave together that amount in their annual GDP i.e. Botswana with US$11.6bn, Zimbabwe US$4.3bn and Swaziland US$2.9bn etc.

The most disturbing thing about all this is that although Africa is inhabited by less than 15% of the world’s population, it is plagued by 88% of worldwide HIV cases and about 92% of all HIV/AIDS related deaths. Why is this, you ask? Could it be that we are more promiscuous? More than the richer western countries with millions of druggies running around engaging in high risk sexual behaviour? I think not!

Here's a more plausible albeit more alarming possibility; Africa has a disproportionate HIV infected population by design! The higher death rates are a consequence of poverty, illiteracy and poor access to healthcare. We can tackle this another time. Why am I saying this is by design?

Well I recently came across another article, actually, I've been sitting on this article for a few years now. The article is called W.H.O Murdered Africa! by Dr William Campbell Douglas. Note the exclamation mark, suggesting that this is a statement not a question!

The article is complicated, laden with jargon and you need to understand a bit of virology to get it. However even I, with limited understanding of HIV and how it works, can see clearly the message being posited. The following passage is a direct excerpt from the article in question:

[There are some viruses in animals that cause very lethal cancer in those animals, but do not affect man or other animals. The bovine leukaemia virus (BLV), for example, is lethal to cows but not humans. There is another virus that occurs in sheep called sheep visna virus which is also non-reactive in man. These deadly viruses are "retro viruses" meaning that they can change the genetic composition of cells that they enter.

The World Health Organisation in published articles, called for scientists to work with these deadly agents and attempt to make a hybrid virus that would be deadly to humans. In the bulletin of the World Health Organisation WHO), Volume 47, p.259, 1972, they said, "An attempt should be made to see if viruses can in fact exert selective effects on immune function. The possibility should be looked into that the immune response to the virus itself may be impaired if the infecting virus damages, more or less selectively, the cell responding to the virus." That's AIDS.

What the WHO is saying in plain English is "Let's cook up a virus that selectively destroys the T-cell system of man, an acquired immune deficiency." Why would anyone want to do this? If you destroy the T-cell system of man you destroy man. Is it even remotely possible that the World Health Organisation would want to develop a virus that would wipe out the human race?]

The reason I've been sitting on this article all this time is that I don't believe in ALL conspiracies and prefer appraising information rigorously before I disseminate it further. This is also important since I don't promote libel or slander and if this is not true then the WHOs reputation is being defamed. However, if this were true, what would be a motive? and how does this answer the question about the disproportionate HIV affliction of African countries?

Well, Dr Douglass, suggests that "They used small pox vaccine for their vehicle and the geographical sites chosen in 1972 were Uganda and other African states, Haiti, Brazil and Japan. The present or recent past of AIDS epidemiology coincides with these geographical areas."

This hypothesis sufficiently explains why Africa has been so substantially plagued by the virus. As for the motive, US$12bn and counting can buy a small country! Make of it what you will BUT I am of the view that the largely western beneficiaries (Pharmaceutical companies) benefitting from this virus are living off BLOOD MONEY in the same way that many companies live off Blood Diamonds!

The economics of HIV/AIDS largely favour those companies that can ruthlessly exploit the deliberate OR accidental spread of HIV/AIDS. I guess money is measured in denominations and purchasing power and not in moral codes. As they say, there's no money in the cure, all the money is in the treatment... so don't hold your breath just yet!
