You know, after seeing the recent news story about how AIDS
developed first in chimps, then spread to humans, I'm left
with questions. It's being claimed that the disease was
transmitted to humans initially when Africans ate infected
chimps. Surely Africans cook their food? Wouldn't cooking
destroy the virus? One's left to speculate as to whether
the initial infectees might have been satisfying other
appetites with the chimps...

in parts of Africa the following custom was (and
perhaps still is) done as a special experience:
a group of hunters would capture a chimp or similar
small ape, or a monkey. the creature would be
restrained, and the top of its skull removed.
then all participants took turns eating spoonfuls
of the brain, while the victim was still alive.
i believe part of the concept was to try to *keep*
the victim alive as long as possible. this was
considered a great delicacy. it was also something
daring and forbidden to sell as an adventure to
jaded Europeans and Americans looking for a perverse
thrill.

retroviruses are quite plentiful in infected
nervous-system tissues...

Certainly not. They're ignorant savages, after all. In fact,
Africans didn't have fire until they were taught to build them
by the European colonists. This is why Prometheus is a European,
not an African myth.

> > Wouldn't cooking destroy the virus?

Sure - but I was watching Nightline a few nights ago, and one
thing they don't do is cook the meat before they dress it. Now,
after a hard day of hunting, you don't wind up with pristine,
unbroken skin - and not one of the ignorant savages that I
saw had the good sense to wear latex gloves while dressing
the carcasses.

Perhaps on *dead* chimps. Chimps are a) very fucking strong
and b) social. Trying to satisfy yourself with a live chimp
would likely see you torn limb from limb by either your
partner or the other members of its social group. Even
hitting a single chimp with a tranq dart is apparently hard
to do, because you'll likely be attacked by the undrugged
remainder of the troop.

(snip brain consumption.) Is this done in Africa, too? I knew
of it as an Asian delicacy.

As are prions - the agents that cause mad cow disease, and retain
their infectivity in the face of heating and most chemical disinfection.
Have a gander at the ingredients in some of the health food nostrums
on the market just now. A number of them contain pituitary and
hypothalamus extracts. That is, brain extracts.

ObHealthFoodStore: I was looking for something very specific
at a health food store recently, and made the mistake of explaining
to the clerk which ingredient was of interest. He, of course, had
no idea what I was talking about, but took this as an invite to
start a conversation. I don't remember how, but he brought the death
penalty up. He was so strongly in favor of it that I quickly realized
trying to have a conversation about it was pointless. He learned
his debating skills during the Dukakis-Bush campaign, apparently; one
of his questions involved "well, dude, what would you do if some
psycho raped and murdered your baby daughter?"

I turned from the ingredients list I'd been trying to scan, looked
him in the eye, and told him "Why, I'd tip him twenty dollars and
ask for a copy of the videotape."

He recoiled visibly, stammering "what did you say?" To help him out,
I repeated it verbatim.

ObT: he was so fucking stupid that he tried to continue the
conversation.

Yes, I think cooking would kill the thang. I watched one report
and thought the handling/butchering of the carcass was
when the transfer took place.

If memory serves, there was some talk, early on, about
the disease having been passed to humans from buggering
the critters. Cheetah, cum!

Green monkeys are where you go for Ebola, not retroviruses- and the
demographics of the whole HIV thang don't fit with polio-inoculation.

One thing you can say for HIV- in a couple of decades, the whole
'overpopulation in the Third World' argument is going to look like a bad
historical joke. Just because AIDS kills people in slow motion doesn't
mean that it isn't going to thin out the population on a grand scale.

RS or possibly Spin, '87 or '88 IIRC. There was a letter to Nature at
around the same time that made the suggestion as well. Then again, at that
point, Peter Deusberg was still making good criticism of an HIV/AIDS link,
too. Since then, Deusberg's turned into more than a bit of a crank on
the topic of "HIV doesn't cause AIDS," since most of the legit beefs he
had with the theory have been addressed, but he discovered that his odd
idees fixe got him quite the following in parts of the HIV+ community.
(Y'see, if HIV doesn't cause AIDS, then you don't have to take your
expensive and toxic antivirals. Moreover, you're only taking them
because of a Big Gummint Conspiracy.)

Since then, though, a lot more AIDS viruses have been sequenced, and
it's pretty clear that this chimp virus is closer to HIV than the
green monkey virus is. Also, they've recovered some material from sera
collected in Africa in 1959 that are pretty solidly HIV sequences,
pushing the clock back to the point when even the Black Helicopter
Crowd didn't have access to DNA techniques for making Evil Bugs.

Not that this stops the alt.conspiracy mill for a moment, mind you.

Tell you what, you can still kick his ass, and the asses of the FDA folks
who fucked up on making sure that Cutter Labs was doing the vetting on
the polio vaccines correctly. I forget how many folks got a batch of the
Salk vaccine with just plain polio in it rather than weakened-enough-not-to-
be-infective polio, but it was enough to get three or four people kicked
out of the FDA and Cutter Labs shut down outright once the lawyers were
done trotting out the Crippled And Dead Chilluns. Man, talk about your
lawyer wet dream of a case.

For those of you with the propeller-driven headgear collection from
Geeks'R'Us, have a look at www.nature.com for the skinny on the new
results, and a posting of the paper on isolating HIV from '59.

The sample was collected in Kinshasa. Mebbe if we just nuked Kinshasa,
we'd all be better off - I seem to remember Kinshasa as an important
Ebola World Tour launch point, don't I?

I doubt it. People die in droves in 3rd World countries as
a matter of habit. And they just make more and more and more.
I cannot imagine any disease short of Smallpox that
can make a major dent in the poverty->babies->more poverty cycle
and they just wiped that one.

[Origin of the AIDS virus snipped.]
I don't know why, but when the AIDS virus first became prevalent, I wondered
how it had come into being. The genetic engineered germ warfare agent, the
man buggering ape theory just didn't ring true. It occurred to the around
the time of HIV and AIDS being discovered, we were also researching organ
transplants. Now if we can learn to suppress the immune system (to prevent
the organ being rejected), why can't nature find a way...
Just my thought.

Puh-lease. Do you think any retrovirus is going to catch up
with the negroid libido?

Those people are going to continue exploding in population
until Mother Theresa rises from the grave and admonishes them to put a
goddamn rubber on their anteater-dicks. Even then, I doubt those
backward shines will figure out how to use the damn things.
Let's face it: five centuries of colonial technology and
industrial charity have failed to pull Africa out of the sewer. It's
time we wrote off our losses and isolated the whole continent with
strings of F/A aircraft and ocean-going battle groups.
If anybody pokes their head out of their filthy hovel, we'll
blow it off with some high-velocity rifle rounds. In time, some
scumbag like Kaddafi will unite the continent under one moronic flag,
whereupon we'll have no political problems just gassing the whole
fucking mess from border to border.

Based on my limited experience, the _German_ libido is a

I think HIV is in with a good chance of hitting the big-time as a
demographic modifier. The perspective from the US (falling AIDS death
rate, multidrug therapy etc.) does not fit the African situation (half the
population dying of Slim).

I'm optimistic about HIV as an agent of Uncle Chuck without any need
for expensive and messy active genocide programs.

Salk vaccine (shot in the arm variety - at least when I got it) is killed
virus. Sabin vaccine (little sugar cube - at least when I got - yeppers,
both) is weakened virus. I don't know if Dr. Sabin's ass is still above

to snuff get polio from the Sabin vaccine anyway.

Is that really the case? From what I've read (and granted, I'm not a great
intellectual) I thought that one of the biggest problems with estimating AIDS
rates in Africa was a lack of testing for HIV; sure, the coons are dropping
like flies, but then again they've ALWAYS been dropping like flies. It seems
to me that estimating HIV infection rates by sampling whores in Zaire and the
truckdrivers who fuck them isn't going to give you accurate figures about the
infection rate in the general population. If someone knows otherwise and can
point me in the right direction, please let me know as I'd love to be
proven wrong on this matter; hope springs eternal.

I'd love to see a massive depopulation of Africa and parts East for a number
of reasons, chiefly because I believe it would be good for the environment if
there weren't throngs of starving wogs eating endangered species while
chopping down every tree in sight.

It'd also make for some way cool footage on CNN.

There is an area in Africa on the shore of Lake Victoria which has the
highest AIDS rate per capita on the entire continent (and hence, the
world). The unusually high rate of infection has been traced to a common
witch-doctor practice of injecting (with genuine Western hospital
syringes-thought to be "magic" I suppose) blood from green monkeys into
mens genitals in order to enhance sexual potency. Green monkeys are known
to be a host organism of HIV.

I guess we can chalk up this particular AIDS cluster to Uncle Chuck and
his frequest visits to Satan's Wildlife Safari and Theme Park.

I read recently that the estimated world population for 2050 had
actually been reduced by 400 million to make up for AIDS deaths.

That's a crock of shit. Some nigerian butt-fucked a chimp 50 or a 100 years
ago, that's how it all got started. Haven't you heard of the NAMCLA (North-

How to turn $6 into $6,000!

READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while
back,
I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came
across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars
within
weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah
right,
this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept
reading.
Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address
stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the
bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200
newsgroups.
(There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over,
and
talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured:
"what
have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested
the
measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting
money in
the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just
kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the
second week I had&127; made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week
I
had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week
and I
have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
rapidly.
It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on
the
lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it
works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you
can
get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you
follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money
than
you thought possible by doing something so easy!

Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
download
it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come&127; in!

It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal;
and
it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!

If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary dividends.

PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more
can
be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
the
honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success
by
carefully adhering to the instructions.

You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
your
product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the
business
of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay
big
bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists
is
secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking
to
be included in that list.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece
of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills
and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be
seen
through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in
each of
the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes,
each
with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address,
and a
$1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
it!
Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the
legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office
(1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6
envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) Kent Wilson PO Box 1112 RMH, Alberta, Canada T0M-1T0

#2) Dan Reid 4 Huntings End Ave Kanata, Ontario K2M 1L5

#3) J. Womack PO Box 41018 Behtesda, MD 20814

#4) Kyle Boretsky 203 West Phillip St. Coaldale, Pa 18218-1442

#5) Lee Young 910 Springtime Dr. Lawrenceville GA 30043

#6) Jeff Wheaton 201 Woodhampton Drive, White Plains, NY 10603

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number
6 on
the list.

STEP 3: Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I
think
there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the
more you post, the more money you make!

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec.
1302
& 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for
yourself
and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the
directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program
will
continue and the money that so many others have received will come your
way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either
on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES
that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to
wrap
the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)

So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six
members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer
with
one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that
when
your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of
dollars
in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the
first
six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and
you're in business!

Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag
your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the
edit
menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step
2)
Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank
page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the
letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3)
Save
your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in
different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4)
Use
Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for&127; various
newsgroups
(on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit
these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting
the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in
the
Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll
through
the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message
button.
You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you
have
to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the
hang
of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE
MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE
TO
POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving&127; money
from
around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box
due
to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay
anonymous,
you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST
MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**

Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
very
low example)(if each of your postings are seen only once there is a
97.5%
chance that 5 or more people will try it). So then I made $5.00 with my
name
at #6 on the letter. Now,each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00
make
the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
respond
to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25
each
make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I
will
bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and
post
the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I
will
make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those
625
persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons
will
all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if
still 5
persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an
original
investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
list,
you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another
$6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And
start
posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands
of
people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these
articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and
see
if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan
is
played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances
of
that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
people
who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give
it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with
thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY
and
HONESTLY and this will really work
