Louis Farrakhan: Ebola And AIDS Are "Race Targeting Weapons

By Nick Gillespie, Oct. 1, 2014, Reason.com

From Louis Farrakhan's official Twitter feed (hat tip: Mark Hemingway).

The link goes to an article in the Nation of Islam (NOI)'s Final Call by Farrakhan that alleges, among other things:

What is the method that they [the U.S. government] are going to use to depopulate? Through civil wars in which depleted uranium and Agent Orange are used. Currently, there are 39 states in America that have already been polluted by depleted uranium. Look at the target areas: El Salvador—what is there in El Salvador that America wants? It is oil. America already has a military base, embassy, and CIA operatives working to kill off the Indigenous population so that nobody can threaten their takeover of oil.

Another method is disease infection through bio-weapons such as Ebola and AIDS, which are race targeting weapons. There is a weapon that can be put in a room where there are Black and White people, and it will kill only the Black and spare the White, because it is a genotype weapon that is designed for your genes, for your race, for your kind.

Gay Men Only 2% Of U.S., 52% Of HIV Cases

By Warner Todd Huston, Oct. 2, 2014, Breitbart.com

A new report from the Centers for Disease Control finds that gay men, who make up only two percent of the U.S. population, constitute 52 percent of Americans with HIV.

The CDC report also noted that 63 percent of those recently infected with HIV are men who have sex with other men.

"Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2 percent of the United States population, yet are the risk group most affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)," the CDC report says. "Most gay and bisexual men acquire HIV through anal sex, which is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV."

One of the reasons for the higher infection rate is promiscuity, the CDC said.

From HIV To Cancer To Crohn’s, ObamaCare Fails The Sick

By Peter J. Pitts, Aug. 10, 2014, Nypost.com

It turns out ObamaCare didn’t solve the problem of “pre-existing conditions” after all. It made premiums more affordable for people with chronic health conditions that are expensive to treat — but at the price of sticking them with unaffordable co-payments for their medications.

The nonprofit AIDS Institute is suing four Florida health insurers for discriminating against HIV/AIDS patients. The complaint says these patients now face prohibitive out-of-pocket drug costs. Sadly, most of the plans sold via ObamaCare all across the country have similar problems — leaving those with chronic diseases without affordable access to the specialty drugs they need.

The Affordable Care Act limits the degree to which insurers can charge higher premiums for sicker patients. But ObamaCare plans found a way around these rules: impose higher out-of-pocket costs for all or most specialty drugs.

Consider the Florida suit. Carl Schmid, the AIDS Institute deputy executive director, says the plans follow a “pattern where every single [HIV/AIDS] drug for some plans was on the highest tier, including generics.” Under these policies, drug costs for AIDS patients can exceed $1,000 a month.

And Florida’s hardly unusual. A new report from consulting group Avalere Health found that a large majority of all ObamaCare exchange plans include similarly high out-of-pocket costs for patients with certain illnesses.

The breakdown of Silver plans (the most popular category) is particularly revealing. In seven classes of drugs for conditions from cancer to bipolar disorder, more than a fifth of these plans require patients to shoulder 40 percent of the medicine’s cost.

How Magic Johnson Fought The AIDS Epidemic --Deserves enormous credit

Earvin "Magic" Johnson
By Michael Specter, May 15, 2014, The New Yorker

Donald Sterling, the racist cretin who owns the Los Angeles Clippers, raised a series of interesting questions about Magic Johnson on Monday, during an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “What has he done, can you tell me? Big Magic Johnson, what has he done?” Sterling asked dismissively. “What does he do for the black people?” Sterling added that Johnson should be “ashamed of himself” for having H.I.V., and suggested that he was a terrible role model for children.

As it happens, I started working as a reporter for the New York Times in November of 1991, a few days before Johnson announced that he had been infected with H.I.V. In the nineteen-eighties, I spent several years covering the AIDS epidemic for the Washington Post, and my first stories at the Times were about Johnson’s announcement and the seismic impact it had for African-American teen-agers across the country.

Many people have devoted their lives to ending the AIDS epidemic. Some of them became famous. Ryan White was the sweet, sad teen-ager who was expelled from his high school in Kokomo, Indiana, because he had been infected, through a tainted blood transfusion. White died in 1990, and the first essential American AIDS legislation is named after him, because he was an “innocent” young white boy—congressional leaders refused even to consider naming the law after a gay man or a minority. Larry Kramer started the two most important American AIDS organizations: Gay Men’s Health Crisis and ACTUP, and screamed so loudly and at so many people about the potential of an epidemic that some of them actually began to listen. And C. Everett Koop, as surgeon general, transformed himself from a right-wing anti-abortion crusader into the most compelling advocate for AIDS education in the United States.

These people—and many others—had a remarkable impact on the course of the AIDS epidemic. But none of them possessed Magic Johnson’s ability to connect with the people who needed help the most: young minorities. There was no better way to demonstrate that H.I.V. is a virus that can attack anyone than for one of America’s most electrifying athletes to acknowledge that he was infected. Johnson’s announcement came at a critical point in the epidemic. In 1991, many Americans remained convinced that AIDS was a disease that affected gay, white men—people like Rock Hudson—but almost nobody else. As Ronald Johnson, who was then executive director of the New York-based Minority Task Force on AIDS, told me at the time, “This is a tragedy beyond measure for Mr. Johnson and his family. But for the first time this could convince people in our community that when it comes to this disease we are all very much at risk.”
