One Nation Under God with Liberty and Stupidity for All

Despite what AIDS Denialists may say, AIDS Denialism has political ties. The reality is that Peter Duesberg attracts  champions of free speech and anti-censorship. That is because the folklore of Peter Duesberg centers on his being censored by science and defunded by the federal government, neither of which is true. Still, he has successfully cultivated the sympathies of the anti-government crowd. 


Those of us who follow AIDS Denialism are well aware of the connection between AIDS deniers and Libertarianism.  Former college math teacher Rebecca Culshaw came to us through the Lew Rockwell anti-government, anti-war, pro-capitalism website. Libertarian comedian Bill Maher (and by the way, I am a fan) came out in support of the late AIDS denier Christine Maggiore. Other AIDS Deniers like conservative columnist Tom Bethel and venture capitalist Robert Leppo also fall into the Libertarian camp. Of course there are the Clean Hands whistle blowing American Physicians and Surgeons people who publish AIDS deniers in their sham journal. Then you have David Rasnick who fears the NIH, CIA, FBI, DHS, IRS etc. to the point where he lives in exile in the Bahamas. There are several other examples from less known (and less significant) AIDS denier bloggers.

So it did not surprise me to see AIDS Denialists crawl out of the woodwork on former Libertarian Presidential Candidate and US Congressman Ron Paul’s website. It is an amusing read, with connections between Chinese viruses, Peter Duesberg, and natural cures.

New Aids like easily transmissible disease in China

Submitted by runforron on Thu, 06/04/2009 - 18:24

A new infectious disease is spreading in large areas of Mainland China. Symptoms are similar to AIDS but it spreads faster between family members, even via bodily fluids like saliva.

Mr. Lin from Yunnan Province caught a disease last May, unlike anything he had seen before.

[Mr. Lin, Yunnan Resident]:"This disease destroys immunity cells just like AIDS. The lowest amount of immunity cells of some patients is only 200, mine is 400. The doctor couldn't find many antibodies, so he called it 'Fear of AIDS' disease."

Preliminary research shows that patients have symptoms of fatigue, chronic diarrhea, swollen lymph nodes, and weakened immunity. But doctors cannot find any sign of the HIV virus.

[Mr. Xue, Hunan Resident]:"A huge number of people caught the nameless virus but the doctors cannot make a thorough check. So they make a conclusion that it's a 'Fear of AIDS' disease. The symptoms are very much like those of AIDS."

Because the Chinese Ministry of Health doesn't recognize the disease, it has not carried out any investigation. However, patients feel very horrified and sad when they see their family members and friends become infected by coming into contact with their saliva or sweat.

They have been using chemtrails over there to "influence the weather." And so the story goes. Until we get the chems out of the air, we will not know what is what.

I'll Keep Posting This Link Until You All Get It...Aids caused by some virus is BULLSHIT just like the FED, man made global warming,ect,ect ad nauseum....

I Want To Convey Peter Duesberg Destroyed The HIV…He proved the virus is harmless irrefutably. He was given a grant way back in the beginning of this scam and after 2 years of exhaustive research his results were that the virus was absolutely harmless to humans and the worse you can get if you even manage to pick it up is a very mild flu like symptom,period.

That's when the character assassination started...you have to understand who Duesberg is without a doubt the the one person on the planet that knows more about retro-viruses than anyone. (HIV is a retro-virus and there are around 100 of them in the chain HIV is in that humans get) his forte was studying them throughout his career (over 25 years) at UC Berkley trying to find a link between retro-viruses and cancer. He is the discoverer of the oncogene.

Well to cut to the chase as soon as he came back after the 2 year study and informed everyone that they were wrong his grant/lab was shut down. The person in control of the funding was a bitch named Flossie Wong and she's Robert Gallo's girlfriend the discoverer (hah) of HIV and also the patent holder on the test for HIV.

Duesberg wrote this book long ago and it destroyed causation by HIV.

Basically it's about big pharma money....

There are thousands of Dr's worldwide that know this whole thing is garbage but with the media control there is it's tough. Excellent article by Dr. Kary Mullis

Thanks for the link to the article from Dr. Kary Mullis! That was an eye opener. Looks like they used the HIV=AIDS as a tool to push the acceptance of AZT. Can you say another scam by big pharma?

Dr.Mullis couldn't find any reference 'anywhere' from 'anyone' that proved HIV was the cause of AIDS, and when he told Glaxo he was going to blow the lid off the myth at a conference they invited him to speak at, they decided to revoke his invitation, and instead sent him a check for $6,048.00 for his trouble?

Looks like the real cause of Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome is nothing more than an overload of viruses/bacteria on the immune system from having to many sexual partners. Makes perfect sense! If you have 20-50-200 partners a year, you're susceptible to every virus/bacteria each of those people might be carrying. If you contract for instance 100-200-300 different viruses/bacteria from all those different people or just by sleeping with one other person who has been with several people, it may overload your immune system and viola! You now have AIDS.

That was a great article Thomas, thanks for sharing! I would suggest anyone living this lifestyle, protect yourself with colloidal silver, or better yet STOP!

Yea, that makes perfect….Yea, that makes perfect sense. Except my brother in law is dying of AIDS and has had a total of 3 partners in the 17 years that I have known him, and he used alternative holistic remedies the entire time.

Conspiracy Theories are an art form.

So how does HIV relate to…So how does HIV relate to AIDS?
I wish I would have heard of this back then-my wonderful Aunt Doris died of AIDS back in 92'.My Aunt suffered a horrible death and if there are people out there exposing this we should help them.
She caught it from a boyfriend who-after we found out she had AIDS-was an ex junkie.

Verry important observation, Thomas. Means vaccinations play a part in spreading disease.

Can Silver kills HIV and AIDS? Yes, it can and does! "Colloidal silver has been shown to kill all one-celled, disease-causing organisms tested — in six minutes or less (over 650 species of bacteria, fungi and viruses have been tested, so far). The silver acts as a catalyst, disabling an enzyme these microbes require for oxygen metabolism. With a basic metabolic function shutdown, the microbes can't mutate and consequently, can't develop resistance to the silver [Exotic Research]."

The above was an excerpt from this article below, read the whole thing, it's damned good!

Yep…I take it regularly.!

One word!...Colloidal Silver :) .... ain't nothing it can't kill ..... Nothing! If it's a virus, it won't last 6 minutes after contact with silver.

Yes…I have read several articles about AIDS patients being cured with the use of CS. Here's a few good articles, you can do some searches and find more testimonial type write ups.  http://curezone.com/foods/silver.asp

That's just one, do some searches and you'll find more.

Here are a few links on that…Here are a few links on that subject that I found as well(one of them thanks to our very own Jake Towne)

I wonder if this would be receptive to anti-viral…natural remedies like Samento or Cat's Claw. My friend cured herself of chronic, debilitating Lyme disease with Samento

Information: http://www.samento.com.ec/sciencelib/4sam/08healingsam.html

"According to modern classification of diseases, our medical practice has listed more than 101 of them that are susceptible to treatment with Samento or influenced to an extent unachievable with any of the remedies of the conventional medicine today.

I’ll mention just a few of the successfully treated conditions: hypertension, influenza (which I already spoke about), rhinitis, hay fever, edemas with various origins, herpes, sinusitis, gastrointestinal problems – ulcers, gastritis, colitis, irritable bowels syndrome, constipation, etc., conjunctivitis, urinary infections (including dysuria - difficulty in urinating), hepatitis C, allergies with different etiology, pharyngitis, rheumatoid polyarthritis, fibromyalgia, ischaemic heart disease, stenocardia, cysts, prostatic adenoma, menstrual cycle irregularities, grave and unsusceptible to other treatments hemorrhages, lung emphysema, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, asthma, involuntary urination, tumors – benign and malignant, endometriosis, chronic fatigue syndrome… The list can be extended further but our trials and observations continue, especially those related to cancer diseases. We have achieved indisputable results in patients in the final stages of different types of cancer (of the uterus, bladder, breast, etc.) – results that proved unattainable with the traditional anticancer therapies: normalization of the tumor markers and the characteristic pathological deviations, restoring of the normal blood values, discontinuing of uncontrolled hemorrhages, removal of the pain that renders unnecessary all the drugs with analgesic properties, etc. All these cases are well illustrated by systematic laboratory and other tests.”

Holocaust Deniers, AIDS Denialists, and Other Conspiracy Theorists

Just a few days after President Obama renounced Holocaust Denial, 89 year old white supremacist James Von Brunn opened gun fire at the National Holocaust Museum in Washington DC killing at least one person. Von Brunn apparently had quite a following and some of his Holocaust Dinier fans are also rather active AIDS Denialists.

There is a long history of racist and homophobic undertones to AIDS denialism which I discuss in Denying AIDS. Perhaps even more disturbing are the recent homophobic remarks made by some of the more outspoken AIDS Denialist bloggers. AIDSTruth.org has expressed concern about this trend with a post well worth reading. Of particular concern to all of us are comments posted online by AIDS Denialist Clark Baker regarding homosexual ‘lifestles’.

Members of Rethinking AIDS complain that they are mischaracterized as conspiracy theorists and are never happy when their parallels to Holocaust denial are pointed out. The evidence of course is in their rhetoric. (see post "What is HIV/AIDS Denialism")

If AIDS Rethinkers are not essentially a group of deconstructing conspiracy theorists, then why are they embraced by the most extreme of all conspiracy nut cases? There are several examples of extremists reaching out to Rethinking AIDS. For example, David Rasnick is well known among fellow conspiracy theorists. Rasnick’s theory “The AIDS Blunder” is singled out in discussions of 9/11 Truth Seeking, Secret Sterilizations, and CIA Mind Control Experiments. Rasnick is quoted by conspiracy theory extremist David Kay, where he discusses Rasnick’s views on “The AIDS-HIV Guinea Pig Kids” fiasco that baselessly caused the stop of pediatric HIV treatment trials in New York City.

Surprisingly even more repugnant is the link to Rethinking AIDS neo-Nazi hate group websites. First Light Forum has connected to Rethinking AIDS and AIDS denialist Janine Roberts’s homepage and her blog, by just clicking “The Great HIV/AIDS Hoax - reaping loot for Jew pharmaceutical cartels and killing Gentiles.” First Light Forum focuses on anything anti-Semitic and all conspiracy theories. You can read about the fabricated JFK assassination, the ‘Great Adolf Hitler”, refuting the Holocaust, how Jews brought down the Twin Towers on 9/11, and of course “Rethinkingaids.com - HIV/AIDS Scam exposed”.

Are the AIDS denialists a hate group? No.

Are AIDS denialists neo-Nazis? No.

The point is not that AIDS Denialists are even like Neo-Nazis. The point is that AIDS denialists are like Holocaust Denialists. Just as they are similar to 9/11 Truth Seekers, Global Warming Denialists, Creationists, and Flat Earthers. What connects them all is a shared constellation of personality characteristics, including paranoia, anti-government passions, mis-representation of history, manipulation of facts, and attention seeking. The similarities are undeniable.

Damage Done: Why We Should Care About AIDS Denialism

Is AIDS denialism a problem? How widespread is AIDS denial? Are people who question that HIV causes AIDS given any attention?

People who care about HIV/AIDS are well aware that misinformation undermines prevention and treatment efforts. The spread of myths takes its greatest toll on the Internet, where pseudoscience is easily mistaken as science. There are perhaps thousands of people who refuse HIV testing, ignore their HIV positive test result, and avoid treatment because denialists persuade them that there is a debate among scientist about what causes AIDS. To many of us AIDS denialism is undoubtedly a significant social problem. But what is the evidence? What objective data do we have that says AIDS denialism is rabidly undermining AIDS prevention and treatment? On what basis should we think AIDS denialism is widespread?


UPDATED May 9, 2009

Only recently has social science research started to examine AIDS denialism.A survey of Gay and Bisexual men in 4 US cities found that 45% believe “HIV does not cause AIDS” and 51% believe that “HIV drugs can harm you more than help you.” This finding is remarkable because Gay men in the US may be among the most AIDS educated in the world. Or so we have thought.


One in five men and women in Houston believe that “AIDS is an agent of genocide created by the US Government to kill of minority populations.”

A study of people living with HIV/AIDS shows that 23% believe “There is no proof that HIV causes AIDS” and 36% say “there is a debate among scientists about whether HIV causes AIDS.” (Kalichman et al., 2009, in process)

In South Africa, where AIDS denialism perpetrated what South African advocates have called crimes against humanity, 42% of people at high-risk for HIV/AIDS believe that medicines for AIDS do more harm than good.

AIDS denialists actively undermine prevention and treatment

AIDS denialists persuade people that AIDS charities, such as Product (RED) Campaign, are fraudulent. Denialists have handed out anti-(RED) flyers at promotional events and taken other actions to undermine the charity.





AIDS denialists stage activist-style events and distribute AIDS denialism literature at community health fairs, gatherings, and other social events.

AIDS denialism is responsible for the death of 350,000 South Africans and 35,000 HIV infections in babies could have been prevented if not for AIDS denialist policies.

AIDS denialists organize campaigns telling people not to get tested for HIV. The testimonials of people with HIV who have chosen not to take HIV treatments are used to persuade others to refuse treatment.


AIDS denialists have inspired heads of African states to concoct cures for AIDS, including the President of Gambia. AIDS denialists bolster the sale of herbal cures and other snake oil. The proliferation of profiteering from fake AIDS cures is a direct outgrowth of AIDS denialism.

AIDS denialists try to influence public opinion and social policy.

AIDS denial has seeped into the mainstream media and popular culture with endorsements from the rock band Foo Fighters and
comedian Bill Maher, and denialists have gained access to major outlets like Harper’s Magazine and Scientific American .

The most organized AIDS denialism group regularly issues press releases to create an image of legitimacy that have been picked up by mainstream media.

AIDS denialists senselessly caused the stop of pediatric HIV medication trials in New York.

Conspiracy theorizing joins AIDS denialism with various anti-government and hate groups. (click link and search Rasnick)


AIDS denialists try to influence public policy by meeting with policy makers, such African leaders and members of the US congress.

AIDS Denialists file libel suits against those who call them on their conspiracies and expose them for their nuttiness.
They have infiltrated criminal courts and hijacked health policies.


Searching the Internet shows that AIDS denial is widespread.
AIDS denialist groups are active in several countries, including HEAL Groups and other denialist support systems that exist in most major cities.

There are hundreds of homemade AIDS denialists videos posted on the Internet. Gary Null has produced feature length films that pose as documentaries on YouTube. Robin Scovill, husband of the late Christine Maggiore, and Robert Leppo produced “The Other Side of AIDS” as a full length film. Another well-financed pseudo-documentary on AIDS is ”House of Numbers” which premiered at the 2009 Nashville Film Festival. The still image to the left shows filmmaker Brent Leung on the set. Notice AIDS Denialst and conspiracy theorist David Rasnick is present as well.

There are AIDS denialist groups active on every continent except Antarctica (see links on this page) with denialism escalating in the US, Greece, Australia, India, and Latin America.

AIDS denialism is a threat to public health and demands our attention. Ignoring AIDS denialism is itself a state of denial that does not solve the problem. Exposing AIDS denial is only a start to reducing its harms.
