Despite all the evidence to the contrary, the Centers for Disease Control continue to deny that AIDS infection is possible through casual contact. They preach the gospel that using condoms for "safe sex" will protect the vast majority. But they are playing politics; not practicing science. They deny that the AIDS virus can be found in feces, saliva, sputum, nasal secretions, sweat, tears and urine.11 Yet here is a 1988 report in the Journal of the American Medical Association: "At this point, live AIDS viruses have been isolated from blood, serum, semen, saliva, urine, and now tears," wrote Dr. Restak, a Washington neurologist and AIDS researcher. "As the virus exists in these fluids, the better part of wisdom dictates that we assume the possibility that it can also be transmitted by these routes." Dr. Restak was right about the better part of wisdom. No matter what line the CDC puts out, the truth is this: the HIV virus can be transmitted by "casual contact." Here's the worst news of all, and it goes directly counter to what the government wants you to believe: Even skin unbroken skin, no abrasions, no blood is capable of absorbing the virus.12 Scientists now know this as a result of their work with what they call Langerhan cells.

These cells are densely packed in mucous membranes and less tightly concentrated throughout the body. Their function as receptors for irritants on the skin was discovered in Chemical and Bacteriological Warfare labs in 1914 which led to the production of a substance that was poisonous after settling on the skin: mustard gas. But the role played by Langerhan cells in actually transporting irritants through the skin was unknown until 13. What the CAB labs proved is that Langerhan cells attach themselves to the allergen particle, transporting it through the skin to the cell that begins the allergic reaction. What the Fort Detrick researchers discovered is that Langerhan cells have receptors almost identical to the CD4 receptor cells in the HIV virus. Langerhan cells were mixed with HIV virus in a test tube and left for a while. Sure enough, the HIV cells were "recognized" by the Langerhan cells and were able to attach to them. Then the virologists took live male semen infected with HIV and placed it on clean human skin with no cuts or abrasions. The semen was stained with a fluorescent dye so that its passage through the various layers of skin could be tracked. The Langerhan cells attached themselves to the HIV viruses and transported them in from the surface of the skin. The HIV virus was no longer on the skin, but deep inside the lower skin layers.

The fact that Langerhan cells are receptors for allergenic irritants and more specifically for the HIV virus CD4 receptors means that it is not necessary for human blood to be present for the HIV virus to be transmitted from one person to another.13 The Fort Detrick researchers, using secret military data from WWI and WWII Chemical and Bacteriological Warfare labs especially the British labs at Porton Downs, the most advanced facility outside of the Soviet Academy of Sciences at Novisibirsk also found that "denditric" cells in the mucous  (37 of ) membranes of the mouth and nose did not die when exposed to irritants or bacteria. Instead, they continued passing on the virus. "Denditric" cells, it was found, have the capacity to carry up to 40-45 times as much virus as the targeted T4 immune cells. They become virtual continuous transmission belts for the HIV virus. "Denditric" cells, like Langerhan cells, are found in the sex organs and the anus canal of humans. This speaks for itself about the risk of homosexual activities. No break or tear in the membrane is necessary nor must blood be present for transmission of the HIV virus. If AIDS can be passed by "casual contact," then people must know through testing when they've become infected. At that moment, they become dangerous to others. But the CDC refuses to acknowledge the basic truths of the disease, even denying that unlike almost any other infection the HIV virus is capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier. But intelligence reports on the Fort Detrick research indicate that the virus is able to14 hide in "immunologically privileged sites, where T-cells do not penetrate, typically in the brain and bone marrow."

The implications of that simple statement are profound. It means that it is possible that the virus will not always show up in blood tests. People carrying the virus could test negative. Yet the same test done three months later could show positive. A premarital blood test for AIDS would protect neither the husband nor the wife unless it was done at least three months prior to the wedding. Current blood tests are quite reliable at showing infection that is more than three months old. But they are not one-hundred percent reliable. With the possibility of the virus hidden in the brain, there is a small chance of a false negative. "It might be as long as fourteen years before seroconversions show up in tests," the same intelligence report concluded. The ability of the HIV virus to hide in the brain long before any symptoms of AIDS are manifested is of great importance. It gives the lie to the claims of the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization that there is no evidence of a clinically significant increase in neurological dysfunctions among people infected with HIV-I and HIV-II. Their position is that neurological problems do not arise until after immune deficiencies manifest themselves. This is false. But with such "respectable" scientific support, this view remains the conventional wisdom. That allows authorities to continue their cover-up of the true gravity of the AIDS epidemic. Why? Because the reality is that there are perhaps a few hundred thousand Americans walking around with HIV-infected brains, but manifesting no symptoms and utterly oblivious to their condition or to the hazard they pose to friends and loved ones and strangers they encounter.

A study at Walter Reed Hospital threatened the conventional wisdom, noting ample documented evidence that the HIV virus has a neurotropic tendency, attacking the brain at a very early stage of infection, long before immune deficiency symptoms appear. Specifically, the study concluded that neurological problems a persistent headache, lack of concentration and a general malaise which are usually chalked off to stress are present prior to symptoms of immunodeficiency in about eighty-six percent of cases of  (38 of ) those infected with the newest HIV virus. This is one of the most significant statements ever made on AIDS (and by no less a hospital than the one charged with the medical care of the president of the United States). But like all other statements that give the lie to the accepted view of AIDS, it was buried and will probably never receive the attention of the media.15 The Centers for Disease Control is America's first line of defense against any epidemic. But its refusal to admit and publicize the truth about AIDS makes the CDC part of the problem.

Even intelligence reports are not certain how much of that stems from incompetence or politics or personality and how much is deliberate policy set by those who created the AIDS epidemic. The Associated Press reported it this way: "Dissension among AIDS experts at the national Centers for Disease Control has led to the suppression of research, sabotaged experiments and the loss of key workers.…

A former lab expert, who asked not to be named (for fear of reprisals) described how some experiments were tampered with. 'Cultures turned up missing or contaminated and carbon dioxide to virus incubators was turned off, ruining experiments. The internal squabbling eventually led to the departure of key research workers who helped prove blood transfusions spread the deadly disease.'" The AP report said that the head of the CDC's AIDS program blocked research into a spermicide that could and did kill the AIDS virus within sixty seconds in strictly controlled lab experiments. No trials were done to see if it worked on people as well as culture plates. "There's a long history of bad politics and unhappy people over there," Dr. Steven McDougal, the head of the CDC immunology laboratory told AP. "I can't begin to unravel it." Perhaps because it wasn't meant to be unraveled. The CDC executive who killed the spermicide program, intelligence reports indicate, did so under orders from the Olympians who have also made certain that the CDC does not publish or release the true numbers on AIDS and ARC (Aids-Related Complex) diseases in America. Astonishingly, the CDC never issues AIDS statistics that are less than ten years old. You cannot find out from CDC how many Americans have died from AIDS. Try it and see.

Call the CDC and ask them: How many Americans have died from AIDS? And see what they tell you. Even worse, CDC doesn't even keep statistics on those who've died from Aids-Related Diseases. The Medical Laboratory Observer magazine has reported that the ratio of ARC deaths to AIDS deaths is "tento twenty times higher than is ever reported." The CDC has been forced to admit that the deaths may be ten times as great in number from ARC. But they don't know what the real number is. You have to ask yourself: Why? Why doesn't our governmental institution officially charged with epidemic control make a serious attempt to know and report the most important numbers in the deadliest plague America has faced in our lifetimes? Figures compiled by the Rand Institute, which are more current than CDC statistics, conceded that there were at least 500,000 Americans showing fullblown symptoms of AIDS by the end of 1992.  (39 of ) In compliance with various U.S. government and World Health Organization memoranda, even those Rand figures were deliberately understated by twenty-five percent to fifty-five percent, according to the latest intelligence estimates. The reality, then, is that somewhere around one million Americans were in the advanced stages of AIDS by the end of 1992.
