Give 'em The AIDS Razzle Dazzle

The Terror Of The Red Ribbon

It is both scary and unbelievable how people who trust the government on practically nothing, when it comes to AIDS believe that same government 100% and without any reservation.
Pure Masochism

This year I felt I must subject myself to the ultimate nerve-racking masochistic experience of World AIDS Day. I am yet still a relatively new “AIDS denialist” and had never as yet subjected myself to the World AIDS Day voodoo bombardment from this perspective. I did it all, I read the news, studying the links posted to the main BBC page dealing with this event and saw the news bulletins too. Finally, to cap it all, off I went to dinner with my best friend, who is a veteran HIV positive gay man, and on medication, and who simply refuses to look seriously into the issue, as for him, to be HIV positive is a way of life that touches and conditions all aspects of his existence, and though it pains me, I have accepted that fact as best I can, as he simply will not do without it.

TV Promotes A Mythology Of The AIDS Cult Of Death

So there we were, two old fags on a Saturday night, both in our forties and both on opposite sides of the AIDS fence, but he had listened to me ranting on about how AIDS is a CONstruct so many times it was now his turn to give me some of that AIDS day razzle-dazzle. And all I could do was to sit and take it all as best I could.

We sat and ate two kilos of delicious Galician mussels, with a lemon, raw garlic and parsley dressing, which we washed down with a rich red Catalan wine. First came the AIDS day film on Catalan TV, which was a badly written, perfectly dreadful and dreary propagandistic AIDS film called Positius; meaning Positive in Catalan. The film is obviously made with big pharma euros. It was a mixture of alarm, hysteria, victim promotion, unreality, twisted fantasy, and complete with publicity shots of the top pharma funded organization promoting testing in Barcelona, also included was a final written credit at the end of the film again "voodooing" people into going and taking a test. This torture was then followed by a two-hour discussion on AIDS that featured three gay men (surprise surprise) from three different gay AIDS organizations and one woman, all "experts" on the AIDS crisis.

The discussion bordered the “esperpento” the “Goyesco”. It was all in Catalan, so admittedly there must be details I missed out on, but the most important point was this: HIV is the biggest threat to humanity, and there is no dissent at all but from those conspiracy theorists who claim the virus was produced in a lab, and that we need to brainwash kids as young as five years old to get them to use condoms. One of the speakers advocated freedom of choice in this aspect and was greeted by raised eyebrows by the rest; a sign of times to come even for queers I suppose.

After four hours of AIDS bombardment I had severe migraine, I was feeling sick and with a need to spew some crap back out of my system, which undoubtedly, an entire evening of AIDS voodoo on TV had left lurking around in my system, that, combined with the effects of the rich mussels in raw garlic and parley, and the wine, have made me turn a light shade of green, much as if I had never stopped taking my HIV medication.

********************

Sham Shame & Shine

In over 24 hours of constant coverage on AIDS we saw nothing of Professors Duesberg, Mullis, Rasnick, Papadopoulos, Turner, Stewart, or any spokespeople and journalists like Farber, Maggiore, Lauritsen, Crowe, Ellner, Shenton etc. etc. Nothing. Nor did we see one single person out of the thousands there are world-wide who have a positive diagnosis and who has survived, some for over 20 years, without ever having taken a single pill. Nor did we see one single person who, like me, had stopped taking pills and turned our backs on the HIV lie, and are doing fine. Nothing. Not one.

Do you know why? It is because we do not give messages of gloom and doom, of pending death and despair. We actually have something positive (pardon the pun) to say. But the main reason you will see none of us talking on TV on World AIDS Day, is that we do not sell pills for Big Pharma, or push the HIV voodoo, that's why. So on WAD you will only ever see AIDS "experts", politicians and stars with red ribbons on their bosoms pontificating and scaremongering. All you see and hear on WAD is the AIDS industry blowing its silver horn, like De Silva calling Ernani to his death. if you choose life, as we do, it is clear on World AIDS Day that you are screwed.

News Highlights Of The Day
Read also The New AIDS Reviews spot on article
There comes a point where a cover up is necessary, when too much would tumble down in an enquiry. Perhaps some members of the leadership of this society might be persuaded to look long enough at HIV=AIDS and its empty rationale to understand its lethal absurdity, but they will probably also decide that we cannot afford to change the story.

After all, at the cost of a few thousand lives of gays in America and Europe, and a few million ill people in Africa and elsewhere, we can preserve the dignity and authority of Bishop Tutu, Nelson Mandela, President Bush, President Clinton, Bono, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Taylor, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and Magic Johnson, as well as their scientific advisors Anthony Fauci, Mark Wainberg, David Baltimore, John P. Moore, John Maddox, Daniel Koshland and the current editors of Science, Nature, the New York Times, the New Yorker and every other magazine and newspaper mentioning the topic of AIDS.

Is this not a fair deal? The senators of Athens thought so, and Socrates took his hemlock like a man, not disagreeing with them.

Bush Loves You


Bush is now the new AIDS Tsar. So, the man who lied about Iraq, weapons of mass destruction etc. etc. etc. is now fully invested with new billions of your tax money to fight in the war and emerge as the new saviour of the world, he is going to save Africa from the terrible HIV virus, and promises to go personally too and shove medication down peoples throats, just like Clinton, Bono, Oprah, Annie, Emma, Richard and the rest of the liberal establishment moronic mediocrities who make up the sect of caring artists, obsolete rock stars and actors form Hollywood. All these with Bush, what a great family photo that is going to make!


What can I say about this? If people still see nothing weird here then it is because they don’t want to see. I actually know they do not want to see, and as I am writing this piece for internal consumption I stick to that with all my heart. Call it hypnotized, call it brainwashing, call it what you like. They DO NOT WANT TO SEE. We all know well the wide spectrum of reasons why people do not want to see, so I am not going to list them here as I pretend to convince no one who is not already convinced and least of all with this post.

Mandela & Tutu Vs Mbeki


In South Africa, Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu join forces separately to demolish Thabo Mbeki publicly. The two main heroic figures who lead their people out of the shackles of Apartheid are now leading their people back into the slavery, this time to voodoo spun by Big Pharma. History will judge them and expose their fall from heroes to villains I suppose, but for now they are still heroes. I do not know if it is vested interest or stupidity that is at play here, either way, it is unbelievable that these two of all people should be so irresponsible or plain dumb, neither of which is forgivable when applied to these two characters in my books.

The Big Worry

Apart from the usual calls for more testing alarmism about rising number of infections, and pleas for more toxic pills to be given to everyone, according to the BBC, the biggest worry for people with HIV face according to the AIDS industry is this: Concern over HIV homeopathy role. The major worry is that people with HIV overdose on Vitamin C or maybe Aloe Vera. The life destroying, fraudulent test that detect “nothing”, and that are used to dish out positive diagnosis is of no worry. Nor is it a worry that those who are given this false diagnosis are then voodoo’d into taking body-deforming, liver-destroying toxic medication. No, none of this is a worry. It’s the carrot that is the killer.

If it got this stupid it is because the people who consume it must be this stupid too. It stands to reason, no? If people are still unable to see that this is the most absurd, corrupt, twisted and gross piece of work then: hey, good riddance. It seems like the only thing left to really do is for everyone to just save themselves.

The Future

I realize that we may speak here from a privileged position of knowing what it is all about. I also realize that a few years back I was also just as gullible, but there was one fundamental difference; I did not have the information. Moreover, when that information came my way I looked at it and took it seriously.

Everyone who I have presented with the information has directly or indirectly refused to look or take it seriously. I am also quite sure that it is not because the information is difficult to understand or that there are holes in it. It is as simple as this: they want to wear the red ribbon at least once a year. They call it solidarity just in case. I call it a hypocritical act of false redemption. An affirmation of human stupidity and ignorance based on deep seated fear, prejudices and hate, that those on the right dress in piety and those on the left disguise as care, but at the end of the day, both contribute to what history will eventually recognize as the greatest piece of deliberate evil perpetrated by man against man in the history of humanity.

Gay people will not come clean and let this go for reasons we all know too well, and from John Lauritsen right up to Dan, Carter and myself today see clearly as well. I have elaborated on these enough times and today I think it is best to just stick to one of my favourite quotes from a piece called Death Camp:

"If you took HIV away from most queers they would have nothing left to live for”

Changing the literary reference

I am a little sick of Orwell reference and the presentation of humanity enslaved by force. I find this to be not quite the case, at least as I perceive this. The correct literary reference here for what is happening is not found in Orwell, it is found in Huxley. It is the people who are keeping this fantasy alive because they simply love it. I think more than trying to convince those who do not want to know, we should try and document these time as best we can. After what I have seen today, it seem to me to be the best and most honourable course of action for anyone like us “demialists”, who have seen that a red ribbon is enough to “razzle-dazzle” the whole world into believing that they are not collaborating with evil but doing the right thing. No black shirts or swastikas here…it's all just fun rock concerts and pretty red ribbons.

“Oh brave new world that hath such people in it”

The Grand Finale

Here are the most apt lyrics from a number in the show Chicago, which I think, best sum up what it is that makes people believe this stuff. AIDS Inc. knows that it's all about show biz kid, and when it comes to that they know how to haul out the big guns to sock it to 'em big time. Here is Billy Flynn's take on such stuff...it fits the AIDS show so perfectly. That's why everyone loves and needs AIDS. It's a great show, and AIDS Inc. shows us all that it knows how to bring it on...
Razzle Dazzle
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they;ll never catch wise!
Give 'em the old Razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous
Row after row will crow vociferous
Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture 'em
How can they hear the truth above the roar?
Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler
Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance.
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
Razzle dazzle 'em
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll make you a star!

I chose the opposite approach this year.

Although it was nearly impossible to do so, I stayed away from world aids day propaganda.

After a number of years of experiencing the masochism you desribe, I thought "let them have their glorious day in the sun". It will be mercifully over with the next day. Just like any drug, the AIDS faithful will be experiencing the effects of coming down after their high.

World aids day certainly is the worst time to try and make any dissident inroads, or try and interject some logic and reason. Best to let them have their fun...enjoying their sick, twisted day of death, disease, denial and "concern" that they just can't get enough of.

You're right, Manu. They DO love AIDS! The faithful won't see it that way, but the truth is that they are in love with the paradigm.

And here we are. We hate AIDS. We want it to be gone and over with. It's an upside-down world. We're the ones who actually want it to end, unlike the lefty celebrities and braying herds of gay men. We want the suffering to be over with. We're tired of it.

The rest are addicted to the whole thing. Addicted to the suffering, the victim mentality, the sheer drama of it all.

World aids day is their day to reinforce their faith, lest it diminish. Let them have it. But for your own sanity, I suggest finding something completely different to do next year.

Manu said...

Oh God, don't worry i am not going through that again. I just had to experience this at least once.

Next year i will be in Malta. There the Catholic church rules. There is very little talk of AIDS.

Somehow between the Church and AIDS Inc I find the church less offensive on AIDS.

The World AIDS Day phenomena is another dreamt up, manufactured, back slapping, hurray and RAH RAH session on the day of December 1st for those of the establishment as propaganda so they can get as much funding and support as one can imagine. Clinton says; 50 Billion... Jesus F__kin Christmas. It doesn't get much worse than that.. that is, that money will go completely down the drain. Then there's all those supporters, the caregivers, saying how much we need more drugs. Then there's all those do gooders whom so wrongly believing that all those who died of AIDS was from the HIV virus without even for once questioning any of it.

Hey, but ya know what? - Where was the AIDS quilt?

Carter

Manu said...

probably hanging in the Louvre being passed over as "art" I should imagine.

God know.

People love AIDS, the quilt, the ribbons, the fear, the death knell, the toxic drugs, the stars doing their pathetic bit, the horrendous AIDS films, adaptation and plays, the revolting speeches by those they trust on nothing except AIDS, the absurd theories of manufactured lab virus, the AIDS martyrs...etc etc etc.

People LOVE HIV People love AIDS.
Bottom line that is the problem here. Till it's them or their kids that are f***ed by this they will not wake up...if ever they will.

After yesterday, i say let them...time will judge us all.

Celia said...

Manu,

I loved what you wrote and almost can't express anything. The shock is so great. I wrote about the ribbon once, in NY Press. I want to find that piece and send it, because it contains the actual contents of the symbolism of the ribbon. They have actual sacraments, if that is the word. Need help from Catholics...they have three symbolic meanings of the RED of the RIBBON. I remember the first is blood. Let me see if I can find that essay. Also let's see if I have successfully signed on or if i get erased again...

Celia said...

I found it:

Manu said...

Wow Celia.

Thank you so much for that, even though reading stuff like this makes me want to barf, still, it is great to know what absurd profound meanings lie behind the ribbon.

It is amazing when you think what a simple ribbon has been turned into. It hangs above our heads like it were made of concrete ready to flatten us underneath its bloody (all puns intended) weight.

Manu said...

Of course it is their identity. It is the victim identity without which in todays world you seem to need to get ahead, and it has served well for all to get ahead at least politically and socially. It is, as i have said before, a very Faustian deal.

One can be gay and not take drugs and party, one can be gay and not even have sex anymore...but one cannot be gay and not bw head to HIV. If you do you will be stripped of your gayness by all those around you.

What are we? Well a title still eludes me, but I will find one that fits eventually.

Manu said...

My prognosis is that some will go and meet the great lie half way, or a part of the way as a means to finding a solution to the mess.

My prognosis is that I will none of it because i don't care for such ideas.

The show is pathetic but given the general mingling of sleaze and niceness; which gives for a potent odor of mendacity all round, remains predictable one one hand, and profitable on the other.

When we were children we are told of a mystical, magical god that loves all and is just. We are told that governments exist to provide us with justice.
We are told that the cure for despair is hope but having existed in this world for for over half a century I have come to learn a greater truth about god and government that is far from the mystical and magical lessons we are taught in childhood.
Unfortunately many of us would rather continue to drink from the pap than take up a knife and fork and fill ourselves with reality.
I hope and pray all will go well for those in despair.
