An Interview with Tommy Morrison
Former World Boxing Organization Champion
 February 10, 2010 — On top of the world in 1996, heavyweight boxing champion, star of Rocky V with Sylvester Stallone, winner of almost every fight, his life was turned upside down when he tested positive for HIV antibodies just before a fight. In 2006 he re-tested negative and has tested negative many times since. In an interview with Celia Farber, RA president David Crowe and Terry Michael, Morrison states: "HIV doesn't hurt anybody...It's a passenger virus, it doesn't do anything...I thought the medication was what was killing people."
Listen to the entire interview at HowPositiveAreYou.com:
 Recently, another renowned athlete, Olympic Gold Medalist Lee Evans, spoke of AIDS and Africa, expressing his doubts about widely accepted beliefs: "I have been all over Africa for almost 30 years and when I first heard there was a new sexually transmitted disease epidemic I was alarmed...All I ever saw was more and more of the same diseases we saw in 1975...but nobody except the media and the people living off AIDS money ever called that AIDS."

A few days ago, a video clip was posted on the Internet, which produced the kind of buzz that is shaking the world of AIDS research. This clip shows a recent interview with Professor Luc Montagnier in which he declares: “We can be exposed to HIV many times without being chronically infected. Our immune system will get rid of the virus within a few weeks.” These remarks are likely to surprise you when you discover they come from the man who obtained the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery, in 1983, of HIV, the so–called virus that causes AIDS. Even more surprising — this is not Professor Montagnier’s first such radical statement. In 1990 he declared, on an American television program, that HIV was not the only cause of the syndrome AIDS (he postulated the action of infectious co–factors) and that HIV’s role might only be secondary in the destruction of the immune system of infected people. At that time, this was equivalent to completely exonerating the virus. His statement unleashed an outcry in the scientific community which started to associate Luc Montagnier with Professor Peter Duesberg, a famous American retrovirologist of the University of California at Berkeley, and leader of a group of “dissident” scientists who, even now, keep questioning any involvement of HIV in causing the syndrome AIDS. In 1993 and 1998, in the context of a documentary film about “dissidents”, the Pasteur Institute’s virologist reiterated this statement, adding that people with a good immune system were protected against HIV infection. So, he was already saying the same thing as today! But beyond the surprising nature of the French virologist’s statements, these remarks should be deciphered so that their (in)consistency gets evaluated. First of all, the steadfast way Luc Montagnier has been, for nearly twenty years, repeating such remarks, reveals that he never believed HIV could actually be the main and unique cause of the syndrome AIDS. Even though he has always condemned the Dissidents’ point of view, every new remark he makes brings him a little closer to their hypothesis and moves him away from the official thesis according to which HIV = AIDS. However, Luc Montagnier refuses to be likened to the Dissidents and remains one of the most fervent defenders of the official research on AIDS. His, to say the least, risky and acrobatic performance gives him a position that allows him to swing over from one side to the other depending upon whether progress or doubt is occurring in AIDS research. Such an attitude does not characterize great scientific courage or a very honest attitude towards the millions of people who have been diagnosed as HIV positives and are living in the fear of the disease.

Lost AIDS: Luc Montagnier’s HIV
Luc Montagnier was crowned Prince of AIDS in December 2008 by the Nobel Prize for Medicine, being acclaimed the discoverer of LAV (now known as HIV) in a man who did not have AIDS (but was believed to be at risk) in 1983. One of the reasons it took almost 25 years to award the prize must have been the question of who should be crowned. Montagnier is infinitely malleable but his view of HIV is far more nuanced and oftentimes heretical than the dogmas that have grown up around him. Gallo, everyone knew, produced highly questionable if not totally corrupt science, but would lash out if spurned.  The decision to go with Montagnier must have been nail-biting. Could he keep his mouth shut and would Gallo keep his temper? They would be happy for the new prince to stay locked up in his palace, living with whatever luxuries he rang for. Nobody would care whether he romped with princesses, collected antique cars or stirred up new viral cultures – all he had to do was stay on script, a vain hope because he has never done that before. But, maybe they were counting on a compliant media that would continue their job of not reporting the news. Pictures of the Prince are okay, but not his words. They were not counting on the young film maker Brent Leung. When I heard Montagnier speak in Calgary in January 2009, just after his award, he stayed on script for the first part of his talk, but then started on about how AIDS was a disease of oxidative stress, and later about how oxidative stress could be reversed through the use of antioxidants such as his favorite, fermented papaya. He was careful to talk about antioxidants in the context of other diseases he blamed on oxidative stress, not AIDS, so it appears that, basking in the glow of this great man of science, nobody noticed the trail of breadcrumbs from oxidative stress to AIDS and from antioxidants back to health. Filmmaker Brent Leung has now released new footage of Montagnier, far beyond what made the cut into his documentary, House of Numbers. During this almost entirely unedited interview he kept Montagnier on the subject of HIV and AIDS. All I can say is, “Remarkable! Stunning! Shocking! Amazing!”. In it Montagnier states that someone with a healthy immune system could be exposed to HIV many times without being chronically infected and that it is malnutrition that makes the immune systems of Africans weak and the diseases of TB, malaria and parasitic infections. “Water is key”, clearly meaning clean water, without parasites and pollutants. When Leung asks him, “If you take a poor African who’s been infected and you build up their immune system, is it possible for them to also naturally get rid of it [HIV]?”. Montagnier responds, “I would think so…It’s important knowledge that is completely neglected. People always think of drugs and vaccines.” Don’t let me tell you what Montagnier said. Listen for yourself and watch how calm and sincere he is. This is not a man nervously trying to evade questions. This is a man who is at ease with his ideas. Perhaps, seated on his throne in the Institut Pasteur he wasn’t thinking about the effect of his beliefs on his legions of warriors around the world. Montagnier is careful not to completely discount a role for HIV, but that’s not important. He dismantles three quarters of the house of cards that is AIDS and never once recites the mainstream creed, “I believe in one virus, HIV, exclusive maker of death and destruction, and of all things visible and invisible.”

Statement of the Board of Rethinking AIDS
November 2009
The Board of Rethinking AIDS, based on presentations at our RA 2009 conference, the years of experience some of our members have had caring for people suffering with illnesses labeled "AIDS" and through our extensive scientific research, call for true informed consent for every person before they are given an HIV test or prescribed AIDS drugs (Anti-retroviral therapy or ARV).
Informed consent can come only after people are told that false positive HIV tests can occur and cannot be distinguished from true positives. They must be told that, if diagnosed positive, they may face many years in jail for having a consensual sexual relationship and, if they have children, may be forced to give them toxic drugs or lose custody.
Although some clinicians have observed improvements during short-term therapy with AIDS drugs in some people seriously ill with fungal or bacterial infections, there is no clinical or scientific evidence that long-term treatment improves or extends the lives of HIV-positive people. Before prescribing AIDS drugs, these people must be informed of this and of the potential for debilitating and fatal side effects (that may be indistinguishable from AIDS-defining illnesses).
On this basis, given the lack of evidence that HIV causes AIDS, and because informed consent requires patient choice, the Board of Rethinking AIDS opposes any program that makes HIV testing or AIDS drugs mandatory or coercive — such programs are a violation of human rights. Our opposition includes all groups believed to be at greater risk, including mothers, people in the military, health care workers and prisoners.

AIDS DISSIDENTS ANNOUNCE
RA 2009 CONFERENCE PROGRAM
SAN FRANCISCO (Rethinking AIDS) —
The Rethinking AIDS 2009 conference is proud to announce its program, including keynote speaker Michael Tracey and a screening of the controversial new documentary House of Numbers. Numerous scientists, doctors, activists and HIV-positive people will be in attendance from November 6-8th at the Waterfront Plaza Hotel in Oakland. Media are invited to all conference sessions including the film screening.
This conference will question all aspects of the HIV=AIDS=Death theory, including the accuracy of HIV tests, the safety and efficacy of AIDS drugs, the non-likelihood of sexual transmission, the social and legal consequences and even the very existence of HIV.
These skeptics claim HIV/AIDS is the biggest medical catastrophe ever adopted by the medical-pharmaceutical establishment. They have evidence that those supposedly dying of AIDS are really dying from pre-existing diseases, well-known health risks such as drug abuse and malnutrition, the psychological stress of a fatal diagnosis and the AIDS medicines themselves.
The conference's keynote speaker, Michael Tracey, is a specialist in media issues, public broadcasting and "the injustice of the American justice system." Several years ago he said: The news about AIDS was flagrantly wrong in fact and interpretation, but hugely successful in constructing a prevailing understanding, locking into modern consciousness the belief that here was one more bug to threaten us all.
Be prepared to have your preconceptions about HIV and AIDS shattered at the screening of the controversial documentary House of Numbers where both supporters and critics of the HIV/AIDS paradigm are shown contradicting themselves and widely held views.
Hear presentations and analysis from top scientists and medical professionals on the latest research on AIDS and why they have failed to create a cure, a vaccine, or even safe drugs...incredibly, the AIDS mainstream scientists are lost in a maze of conflicting results.
The media are invited to attend and listen to reports from all over the world and conduct interviews with some of the highly informed skeptics attending the conference.

Rethinking AIDS Correspondent Joan Shenton reviews the new book, Ten Lies About AIDS:
De Harven, together with his co-author, science writer Jean Claude Roussez, have written a book of remarkable clarity for the lay reader. Ten Lies about AIDS provides a lucid A to Z of the arguments De Harven and many other leading scientists have been propounding over the last 20 years to a deaf scientific orthodoxy and a rigidly politically correct gay establishment.
With a sense of palpable horror De Harven describes how his own peers have hoodwinked the scientific establishment over the identification of HIV.

A Los Angeles Mother
Is the Basis of "Law & Order" Episode
 October 2008 -- The episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that aired Tuesday, Oct. 28 on NBC attempted to take on "AIDS denialism." The story centers on a character obviously based on Rethinking AIDS board member and Alive & Well founder Christine Maggiore. Maggiore's young daughter died in May 2005 of an amoxicillin reaction wrongly declared to be "AIDS." The factual and scientific errors in this TV show are too numerous to list here, but are discussed by Christine Maggiore and RA President David Crowe at HowPositiveAreYou.com: You can watch the episode for yourself here. Pure propaganda? The CDC knows that most people believe statements about medical issues made by fictional characters on TV shows, and the organization works hard to make sure as many shows as possible include their propaganda.

Intimidation and Lies
U.S. Tax Dollars at Work at
Los Alamos National Laboratory
July 2008 — Clark Baker, a retired Los Angeles Police officer, has identified Brian Foley, an employee of the U.S. government's Los Alamos National Laboratory, and at least two others, as the source of harassing and libelous e-mails, has filed a criminal compaint against one, and is threatening a lawsuit. The e-mails sought to discredit Baker's publicity role in the May 2008 Semmelweis Society "Clean Hands" Award, presented to Dr. Peter Duesberg and Celia Farber. Baker writes that decades of intimidation of scientists questioning HIV/AIDS have hurt incalculable numbers of people and damaged public health and trust, adding on his blog:
"After having investigated thousands of crimes and arrested hundreds of criminal gang members and other assorted predators, I know a criminal enterprise when I see one. HIV/AIDS makes Enron look like a neighborhood poker game."

Heterosexual AIDS Epidemic

Press Release — June 27, 2008WHO Says That Only Africa Has a Heterosexual AIDS Epidemic — Why?SAN FRANCISCO (Rethinking AIDS) June 27, 2008 — According to a June 8, 2008, report in The Independent, Dr. Kevin De Cock, the head of AIDS efforts at the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the threat of a heterosexual AIDS pandemic is officially over and that decades of predictions that AIDS would spread through general populations across the globe were wrong . . . except in Sub-Saharan Africa. Why a heterosexual AIDS epidemic there and not here? According to former leading WHO epidemiologist James Chin, it's because Africans are uniquely promiscuous, engaging in multiple, concurrent sexual relationships, and also because African men are uncircumcised. Do scientific studies support the conclusion that Africans are an especially promiscuous people? And if the majority of males throughout the world are uncircumcised, why does naturally occurring male anatomy lead to AIDS only in Africa?

HIV Serophobia is Unjustified — Professor Henry Bauer discusses a recent submission to the Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, which states: "HIV infection is not necessarily associated with AIDS, and most HIV-positive subjects do not develop AIDS, provided that they do not assume toxic drugs or engage in risky behaviours. Conversely...AIDS can occur in the absence of signs of HIV infection...HIV serophobia...is unjustified."

A Response to Critics
The Board of Directors of Rethinking AIDS reaffirms its complete confidence in our president David Crowe. Allegations and rumors to the contrary are groundless and completely false. The Board finds no fault with Mr. Crowe's handling of such issues as the 2008 letter to Science or providing assistance to the defense attorney in the 2006 Parenzee case. The recent baseless, ad hominem sniping on the Internet serves no constructive purpose other than to re-affirm the lack of intellectual rigor and equanimity of individual posters. Personal attacks detract from RA's efforts to undermine the toxic HIV/AIDS paradigm. The Board is always receptive to courteously framed suggestions and constructive scientific debate, but in future will ignore unbridled obscenity-laden untruths broadcast on the Internet. |
