The LOW DOWN on HIV/AIDS and “Living on the DOWN LOW”

by Qaraandin


Just when Black men and Black women are once again joining forces to defeat global white supremacy, our community is hit with another weapon of mass destruction: the myth that large numbers of Black women are being infected with HIV/AIDS by Black men who are “living on the down low.”
 
“Living on the down low” is a brand new name for an age-old practice. It is what we now call it when a man has sex with other men while keeping up the appearance of being “straight.” Such men date women, have sex with women, sometimes are married to women and have children. Although they have sex with men and women they do not consider themselves bi-sexual.
 
Almost everyday the corporate media has something new to report about “HIV - the virus that causes AIDS.” There are walks for the cure. There are sit-coms on the tell-lie-vision promoting getting tested. There are ads plastered on billboards. HIV/AIDS has become big business. Therefore, we can forget about anyone ever finding a “Cure.”
 
We “know” his-story of HIV/AIDS: In 1969 at a House Appropriations hearing Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Defense Department’s Biological Warfare division requested $10 million to develop a new disease that would both resist and break down the human immune system. According to the fund request: “Within the next 5 to 10 years it would probably be possible to make a new infective micro-organism which could differ in certain important respects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious diseases.” The funds were approved and AIDS, which has the exact characteristics specified, appeared within the requested time frame.
 
But it’s all a hoax. When you can use your mis-education system to create a population that knows nothing about the human body and how it works, you can tell folk anything and they will believe it. Especially when you are in control of all of their main information sources and can re-inforce their mis-education.
 
When you train folk not to think for themselves they will not visit web sites like www.sickofdoctors.com where they will learn that:
   
When you make sure folk do not know the truth about HIV/AIDS, you can create a new way to “catch” it. If that new way causes Black men and Black women to stop trusting each other - again, so much the better. When Black men and Black women are fighting between ourselves, global white supremacy wins because Black folk have to be united to win this war.
 
Black folk have to be careful not to let our attention wander. We are becoming more politically aware. We are studying our relationship to global white supremacy. We recognize the dynamics of the Black Holocaust. We say we understand clearly that the plan is to remove Black folk from the planet.
 
We must keep in mind what we know. The health care industry is an active part of the global white supremacy machine. We cannot rely on those who plan to annihilate us for information that concerns our health.
 
There are many folk in our community that we respect and look to for advice who do not take the time to research an issue before they spread the message put out by the mis-education system and the tell-lie-vision. Some of these people mean well. However, that does not change the fact that, because of mis-information, folk suffer and die when they don’t have to.
 
All over the Black world the threat from HIV/AIDS is more psychological than physical. As stated in the document "CASTRO HLONGWANE, CARAVANS, CATS, GEESE, FOOT & MOUTH AND STATISTICS"  which the leaders of South Africa’s African National Congress circulate among themselves:

“Given that our minds on this matter have become thoroughly clogged by the information communicated by the omnipotent apparatus, a miracle will have to be achieved to get all our people to use their brains, rather than perish on emotional responses based on greatly heightened levels of fear.”

“The healing power of a person lies within the person, not within the doctor, a pill, or a knife. The healing power of a community lies within the community, not within a ballot box, an executive order, or a referendum.”
