 The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maatha of Kenya, spoke out on the AIDS virus saying it was man-made and deliberately created as a weapon of bio-warfare.

"In fact it (the HIV virus) is created by a scientist for biological warfare,” she said. "Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious,” Maathai said.

The Kenya based East Africa Standard reported that in response to questions from Asian and European media, she said, "I want to dedicate the prize the African woman. I want to hold and embrace her. She has suffered so much and I feel this is an honor to her.

"Although I am a biologist, I have not done any research. I may not be able to say who developed the (HIV) virus but it was meant to wipe out the Black race," she continued.

"When she first blamed the HIV/Aids on 'some sadistic scientists, Professor Maathai kicked a storm, leaving some experts outraged and others supporting her," the Standard reported.

"Initially, said Maathai, HIV/Aids was only concentrated in selected spots in the continent, only afflicting the 'undesirable classes.' She insisted that some scientists from the developed world deliberately researched and developed the virus in order to "punish the Blacks".

"I cannot prove this but everybody knows that there are biological weapons. America invaded Iraq because they believed such weapons existed," said Maathai.

Africa accounts for 25 million out of the estimated 38 million people across the world infected with HIV/AIDS, and the vast majority of infected Africans are women, according to UNAIDS estimates.

“Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.

“Black people are dying more than any other people in this planet,” Maathai told a press conference in Nairobi a day after winning the prize for her work in human rights and reversing deforestation across Africa.

“It’s true that there are some people who create agents to wipe out other people. If there were no such people, we could have not have invaded Iraq,” she said.

“We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam Hussein had made, or was in the process of creating agents of biological warfare,” said Maathai, who is also the Kenyan Deputy Environment and Natural Resources Minister.

The unspoken truth is that both the United Nations and the United States have promoted so-called "population control" for decades. What better agent for the reduction of population than a man-made virus that will take care of millions of so-called "useless eaters"?

AIDS certainly fits the bill. But nobody is talking about its "efficiency."

END
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a lentivirus, a group of retroviruses, that causes slow development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This results in immune system failure and increased suscepibility to life-threatening infections. HIV occurs as two types: HIV-type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-type 2 (HIV-2). The HIV-2 strain is limited to Western and Central Africa.[1] The HIV-1 type acts as the primary cause of (AIDS) throughout the world.[1] The focus of this text is on HIV-1. Virus transmission occurs through transfer of blood, vaginal fluid, semen, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. The primary modes of transmission are unprotected sex, breast milk, contaminated needles, and transmission at birth by an infected mother.

The most recently reported prevalence in the United States of those living with diagnosed or undiagnosed HIV infection was 1.1 million adults and adolescents (prevalence rate: 447.8 per 100,000 population). [2] The latest number of new cases per year in the United States has been reported at an incidence of 56,300.[3]

NORMAL IMMUNE SYSTEM

In order to thoroughly understand HIV/AIDs, it is paramount to understand the normal immune system response to infection and thus, how the HIV virus disrupts this system. The human body has typical physical barriers which protect us from pathogens including the gut, skin, urinary tract and mucous membranes of the bronchi. The organism is protected from infection and disease when the immune system is working properly; however, failure of the system can result in infection or disease that is localized or systemic. Due to the diversity of existing pathogens, the immune system has to respond in a variety of ways and the response depends on the type of antigen presented. Two immune responses work together to prevent entry of pathogens and destroy them upon penetration into the organism: Innate immunity and Adaptive/Acquired immunity.[4]

Innate Immunity

The innate immunity is the body’s first line of defense involving the skin and mucosal barriers as well as a nonspecific inflammatory response. [4] The main purpose of innate immunity is to rapidly contain an infection or pathogen once present in order to slow down the replication and spread of the pathogen. If the pathogen cannot be destroyed by the innate system alone, the adaptive immune system is mobilized. Once the adaptive response is initiated, the innate immunity also plays a critical role for amplifying, modulating, and sustaining the adaptive immune responses.[5]
