Threat of world Aids pandemic
among heterosexuals is over
A quarter of a century after the
outbreak of Aids, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has accepted that the
threat of a global heterosexual pandemic has disappeared.
In the first official admission that
the universal prevention strategy promoted by the major Aids organisations
may have been misdirected, Kevin de Cock, the head of the WHO's department
of HIV/Aids said there will be no generalised epidemic of Aids in the
heterosexual population outside Africa.
Dr De Cock, an epidemiologist who has
spent much of his career leading the battle against the disease, said
understanding of the threat posed by the virus had changed. Whereas once it
was seen as a risk to populations everywhere, it was now recognised that,
outside sub-Saharan Africa, it was confined to high-risk groups including
men who have sex with men, injecting drug users, and sex workers and their
clients.
UK Scientists Get Green
Light For Half Animal, Half Human Embryos.
Edward Leigh, Conservative MP for
Gainsborough, moving the amendment to ban all admixed embryos, said that
mingling animal and human DNA crossed an “ultimate boundary”. He said that
exaggerated claims were giving patients false hope and that the dangers of
the research were unknown. “In many ways we are like children playing with
landmines without any concept of the dangers of the technology we are
handling,” he said.
Organ Harvesting Confirmed By a Former
Detention Center Prisoner.
Recently a witness from Wuxi City,
Jiangsu Province has come forward and revealed what he discovered during
his detention in Wuxi City No.2 Detention Center. According to the
witness, many cases of organ harvesting occurred during 2002.
He was detained from 2005 to 2007

authorities and neighbours knowing. 73 year old Josef Fritzl was brought
before a judge at the regional court in St Poelten in order to have his
custody extended. Staff at the jail where he was being held described him
as calm and seemingly with little remorse. DNA tests have shown he was the
father of Elizabeth's six surviving children.

Walking on the American Flag is NOT Art
Below
is the video of the disgraceful flag desecration project. Watch a heroic
veteran take a stand. As a veteran - I was moved to tears. I located and
interviewed the veteran.
He is
Charlie Bennett, Dist 4 Commander, Maine American
Legion. He served in Vietnam from
1967-1979. For 11 1/2 months, he was on the Cambodian border with the
4th
Infantry Division,
U.S. Army. Bennett is a proud supporter of protecting the American Flag. He
shared that he did not mind the criticism by campus officials and was proud
to take a stand, but that he almost cried when the police indicated they
were going to arrest him. He had always faithfully served his country and
was hurt to think he would be arrested for protecting the American Flag.
