This article on AIDS in Africa is truely amazing, but not at all surprising.
I have always thought it rather bizarre that AIDS has appeared seemingly out
of nowhere, and the theories that it is an invented illness has somehow
always seemed plausible to me.
The issues addressed by this article makes perfect sense, especially when one
witnesses the hysteria with which Thabo Mbeki's  beliefs on the origins of
this disease are met, and the undying attempts to change his mind about AIDS
has become a mission in itself.
If one stops to ponder that Western society has always sought to subjugate us
somehow, and use Africa as it's stepping stone to development and wealth,
first the British and other Europeans with colonialism, and then the
Americans with slavery, It somehow is not out of the question to then come to
the conclusion that these same forces have now come up with new and more
polished tactics to "do away" with Africans if they cannot somehow control us
anymore.

Call me paranoid but I have always thought that it is rather interesting that
most of Southern Africa seems to be the population that is succumbing to this
so-called epidemic of AIDS, and so soon after the fall of apartheid no less.

Even here in the United States, the impending changes in the population
whereby the  people of colour will soon become the majority is in itself a
great source of concern for the caucasian population.
Yes, this is indeed a very eye opening article. However, the saddest part of
it all is that Africa alas!, does not seem to be endowed with sons and
daughters in  leadership positions who truely care for their brethren such
that they can then go about the business of seeing to it that we are not the
subjects of genocide disguised as philantrophy from the very people who have
always been the perpetrators of our misery and doom in many and varied forms.
