Ok, but how do we get off this merry-go-round? it seems like ever-profitable business for everyone involved in it. Like you say, from the media to drugs industry and, evidently, to politics. However, to what extent would it be even more profitable if it had a "cure" (meant as a symbolic "placebo-way out" regaridng it as a political controlling device)? Or, otherwise, is it even more controlling in its non-existence, always leading to a cure it may be as unreal as the disease itself? Semantics apart, it seems like ignorance is bliss after all. Deconstruction calls!
First we need to make it stop. Jumping off merry-go-rounds is not a good idea...
We need to make it stop. Then a whole new world of possibilities should open up.
The dictatorial control based on censorship and silence is still bringing a great consent to moralizers and conservatives, regardless they belong to the left or to the right. The whole politically correct establishment of false comprehension and jovial assistance is simply preserving the democratic fear of AIDS in which the subtle propaganda of terror has penetrated the common believes and ideas. The whole system of stereotypes, common believes and dull ignorance is perpetuating the identity of gay men: souls deformed by a wrong sexuality and bodies deformed by a well-deserved sickness. This is what we represent. It seems gay men do not think, do not research. Our ignorance about AIDS is our new pink triangle. The sad thing is we are sewing such awful infamous rag on our chests by ourselves. Our self-humiliation is the icon we parade when we accept the dogmas of the pharmaceutical business and when we implicitly approve homophobia. Our masochistic attitude strengthens the carelessness of the political class and brings only to a tragic end. And there is no catharsis when your friend dies; there is no catharsis when you can’t run away from the ghetto of lies you have built. Ironically there is catharsis for those who are happy to see we are dying because of our reprehensible life style: we only prove the sword of divine justice hits those who live an outrageous and mistaken life.
I understand your anger and agree with your point of view. The worse part of it all is that, as you say, we have pushed ourselves into this corner. The gay lifestyle we have built seems purposely designed to finish us all off.
One night I was in the club Heaven in London on a typical Friday night garage party in the late 80's. I was standing next to Jimmy Sommerville, who I knew at the time. We both looked on at the gyrating bodies, all in a state of “chemical ecstasy”...and he said to me: "It's like we are all dancing in the gas chambers". I just laughed it off at the time, but it stuck in my mind all these years. How shocking and how right he was.
AIDS became the justification politicians needed turn what used to be termed “gay life” into a “death cult”, but the idea is ours. How outrageous is that? We have been sold a mythology of death, and everyone seems to have taken it on, we made death and deformity sexy and we just turned the music up loud enough so the truth can never be heard.
Four pieces on the obviously totally staged, acted, executed response to the provoked, (also staged) financial "coup" being called a crisis.
Like all theatre at it's worse, it is unconvincing and very very expensive. In this case it is downright criminal.

The Great American National Socialist Experiment
by Liam Scheff
The Powers that Be Speak:
“The people will give 700 Billion Dollars to pay for the cheating, lying and failure of the dozen or so wealthiest men in the world!”
Want to know how it ends up? It’s been done before:
Don’t want a “Government-Fixed” future?
Then fight the Fed Bailout. Write your Senator, Congressperson today, now. NOW!
Write ‘em - NO to the Fed Bailout. YES to a moderate infusion, with strict regulation and oversight , as America moves forward into an economy of Less consumption, more Conservation, Less restrictive monopoly in major industry, and more freedom for Innovation in the design, building and implementation of the major planks of our economy.
If it’s all above your head, then at least stop the hemorrhaging, and support Congressman Chuck Schumer’s contingency “We’ll give you enough, you greedy bastards, and we’ll see if you can manage not to f*** that up” plan.

UPDATES AT BOTTOM
If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it. ~ Julius Caesar
In 2000, the long fought for and long admired democracy of the United States of America began a slow and steady decline toward fascism - a Bush family tradition - with the installment of a president - a man the citizens overwhelmingly rejected (although the funny math told a still believed myth) - by a few corrupt judges on the US Supreme Court. That coup is now nearly complete and checkmate is all but unavoidable.
Let me first point you to the Bush administration's so-called Wall Street bailout bill, here, so that you can see for yourself that this treachery is being conducted in the light of day. Fascism is finally and formally out of the right-wing closet even if the F word is not yet openly being used (although it should be, and often).
Now, if you do not yet understand that the Wall Street crisis is a man-made disaster done through intentional deregulation and corruption, I have a bridge in Alaska to sell to you (or Sara Palin does anyway). This manufactured crisis is now to be remedied, if the fiscal fascists get their way, with the total transfer of Congressional powers (the few that still remain) to the Executive Branch and the total transfer of public funds into corporate (via government as intermediary) hands.
Adam Davidson of NPR blogs about the so-called bailout bill as follows:
I would guess that this has to be one of the biggest peacetime transfers of power from Congress to the Administration in history. (Anyone know?). Certainly one of the most concise.
The Treasury Secretary can buy broadly defined assets, on any terms he wants, he can hire anyone he wants to do it and can appoint private sector companies as financial deputies of the US government. And he can write whatever regulation he thinks are needed.
Most importantly, Davidson points to this passage in the bill:
Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.
The Bush family, in the form of Prescott Bush, has tried a more aggressive coup before in order to install fascism in this country. This treasonous plot was called "the Business Plot," because the high-level plotters - including Prescott Bush - were Wall Street men who openly supported fascism.
It seems this time around, the Bush family is trying the more subtle approach to open bloodshed: first create a crisis, then under the guise of addressing that crisis, overthrow democracy. Yes, it does sound terribly conspiracy-theory-esque when explained just this way. But what else does one call a criminal conspiracy to destroy Congressional powers permanently, alter Judicial powers permanently, and steal public funds?
As I see it now, we have but two options and I have long alluded to hoping against hope that one of these options would not be the only one left to a peaceful people. The first and frankly most preferable option is for Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against the members of this latest Business Plot.
No time needs to be wasted on hearings as we already now have in writing, formally as presented to Congress, the intentions of this administration to nullify Congressional powers permanently, to alter Judicial powers permanently, and to openly steal public funds using as blackmail the total collapse of the US economy if these powers are not handed over. You do see how this is blackmail, do you not? You do see how this is a manufactured crisis precisely designed to be used as blackmail, do you not?
The other option, the one I have long prayed we would never need to even consider, is a total revolution. But, If Congress won't act in its own self-defense, in the defense of democracy, in defense of us - the people who have elected them to protect us from this very danger - then what is left for us to do? I don't want to see it come down to this, but I fear that it will. Put your party politics aside right now. We are in a crisis so dangerous that should these people succeed in their coup, your party affiliation will no longer matter, your American flag will be a nice collectible item of something that once was, and your version of God will be worshiped in secrecy because your freedoms will be owned by the few.
You are no longer Republicans, Democrats, or any shade of voter. You do not live in a swing state or a solid colored state. You are simply this: an American. That is the only side that matters. So call your members of Congress and demand, no, declare that unless they do their duty to the Constitution and to us, we will move to the streets - not because we want to, but because our founding fathers demanded this duty of each and every citizen in the face of such a domestic enemy. Demand - as is your right - that this bill be voted against and demand - as is your right - that the people plotting this treachery be held to account. We are either a nation of laws or we are no longer a democracy. Pick a side, because there won't be another time, another moment, another chance to be a patriot.
UPDATE
You guys have to read this, the guy is near ready to call 911 and report me to the secret police for daring to suggest that I fear that there may be a revolution and want everyone to contact Congress and demand no passage of the Coup Wall Street bill (oh, and did I mention that he calls himself the Confederate Yankee?)
"I can only hope the lawful authorities are monitoring such enticements towards insurrection with all due seriousness, and find a nice, well-lit and cheery cell for those who require one."
Enticements? I did not realize I was standing on a street- corner pulling on my fishnet stockings in hopes of starting a revolt. Now let us examine what I actually wrote - I will bold the key points:
As I see it now, we have but two options and I have long alluded to hoping against hope that one of these options would not be the only one left to a peaceful people. The first and frankly most preferable option is for Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against the members of this latest Business Plot.

I don't want to see it come down to this, but I fear that it will.
Hmmm, sounds like a massive terrorist plot, right? Oh, and don't forget to contact your members of Congress. Seriously, is this guy taking heroin with his coffee? Which part of "I hope against hope" and "I fear" is an enticement for anything that would require me to be arrested and put in jail? Freedom of speech, a no-no in Confederate Americana. Stop by and tell this guy what you think of his hopes that I end up in prison.
UPDATE 2
Another kook joins the distortion train and swift-boat party. This one is actually now claiming that I am calling for an insurrection (wow, in a few hours they will be claiming that I armed the rebels, and charging the Bastille). And if you read the comments section of this blog, you will find yet more examples of rabid xenophobia and bigotry.
And yet even more stunning? Not a one of them can seem to find the time to react to the unlimited power the Executive Branch is demanding. Perhaps they are too busy eating their racist Obama waffles?
On a side note, please use the phrase "insurrection in bed" in every comment since the right wing requires a distraction, even an imaginary one.
UPDATE 3
I have gotten some emails where people appear confused by my use of the Caesar quote. Just to clarify, this is in reference to Bush as Caesar, not my support of Caesar. This is in reference to the massive Bush power grab buried in the bailout "coup" bill. Sorry for any confusion.;)No one could have seen this coming, right?
Well, actually, the White House has admitted that they drew up the bail out plan months ago:
[White House Deputy Press Secretary Tony] Fratto insisted that the plan was not slapped together and had been drawn up as a contingency over previous months and weeks by administration officials. He acknowledged lawmakers were getting only days to peruse it, but he said this should be enough.But the government did nothing real to prevent the financial meltdown. Instead, it let the meltdown happen, and now is trying to ram through terrible and counter-productive legislation drafted previously by using fear tactics.
