'The virus will rebound. Infections will multiply. Millions will die'

White-coat supremacy forever?



Dr. Anthony Fauci announced his retirement in 2022 but continued to receive a private chauffer and a U.S. Marshal security detail, funded by taxpayers. That constitutes evidence that under the Biden-Harris junta, Fauci remains in power, a serious matter that should come as no surprise.

Fauci has been a government bureaucrat since 1968, and during the COVID pandemic, Joe Biden let slip that, in effect, Fauci was the real president. Fauci recently authored “HIV and COVID-19: Shared Lessons from Two Pandemics,” which leaves the key by the front door.

Never again should anyone, let alone a Lysenko figure like Fauci, be allowed to control a government health agency for decades.

HIV, by which Fauci means AIDS or HIV/AIDS, fails to qualify as a pandemic. Back in the 1980s, Fauci contended that AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) could be spread by simple family contact and would ravage the general population. As Michael Fumento noted in “The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS,” the syndrome never moved beyond male homosexuals, hemophiliacs, and intravenous drug users in any significant measure. As with COVID, the origin of AIDS was a matter of dispute.

In 1983, Luc Montagnier, director of the Viral Oncology Unit at the Pasteur Institute, discovered the human immunodeficiency virus, better known as HIV. That came to the attention of Fauci, who earned a medical degree in 1966 but in 1968 took a cushy “yellow beret” job with the National Institutes of Health. Fauci’s bio showed no advanced degrees in biochemistry or molecular biology, but in 1984, the NIH made him director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, where he flagged HIV as the sole cause of AIDS. Medical scientists much more qualified than Fauci disagreed.

‘Copious scientific evidence’

Harvard and Johns Hopkins molecular biologist Charles Thomas, biochemist and Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, and UC Berkeley molecular biologist Peter Duesberg — a member of the National Academy of Sciences with an outstanding investigator grant — had never seen a retrovirus with such destructive capabilities. Never had a retrovirus been shown to cause a human disease or even a disease in animals. Nobel laureate Walter Gilbert found “no animal model for AIDS,” and Harvey Bialy, scientific editor of the journal Biotechnology, could locate “no pathogenic relative” for the virus. Some 40 years later, here’s how Fauci spins it:

Several years after the discovery of AIDS, Peter Duesberg, a prominent molecular virologist from the University of California at Berkeley, claimed that HIV was not the cause, but that the syndrome was the result of noninfectious factors such as recreational and pharmaceutical drug use and sexual promiscuity unrelated to the virus. He was joined in AIDS denialism by other prominent scientists including Kary Mullis, who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. It was remarkable that these scientists made claims based on no credible scientific information and in the face of copious amounts of scientific evidence that negated their assertions.

Fauci leaves out a key point. Kary Mullis also contended that Fauci “doesn’t understand electronic microscopy, and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.” The unqualified NIAID boss, who never invented anything, did not attempt to debate Mullis, Duesberg, Thomas, or any member of the Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis. In 2024, Fauci has it exactly backwards.

It was the NIAID boss who failed to show “copious scientific evidence” that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS. His new paper fails to cite any peer reviewed, replicated study confirming that causation, and avoids an Italian study on “non-HIV AIDS.” At 83, the evasive bureaucrat is still quick on the trigger.

Dr. Fauci maintained that COVID-19 virus emerged naturally in the wild. Other medical scientists detected a laboratory origin. Instead of engaging in debate, Fauci smeared them as “conspiracy theorists.” To this day, he piles it on:

Misinformation and disinformation have been rampant during the COVID-19 pandemic and were made worse by online platforms that amplify untruths faster than any other time in history, some of them spread by well-funded bad-faith actors. From a public health standpoint, this has been particularly damaging with hesitancy to accept the safe and highly effective COVID-19 vaccines.

For Fauci, “misinformation” and “disinformation” mean any departure from the views of the NIAID boss. The medical scientists of the Great Barrington Declaration, most if not all more qualified than Fauci, challenged his lockdown policies, particularly with schools. As with the AIDS dissenters, Fauci did not debate these scientists and chose to attack them as “fringe epidemiologists.” Obama NIH director Francis Collins tasked Fauci for a “quick and devastating takedown” of the GBD scientists.

In 2021, the nonpracticing doctor proclaimed, “Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science.” To all but the willfully blind, Fauci is a certified megalomaniac, but there’s a method to his madness.

“It has been firmly established that the origin of HIV is zoonotic,” Fauci now proclaims, without showing how that has been established by any replicated study. In effect, Fauci is working backwards, applying his false claim for the COVID virus to HIV. On the other hand, Fauci is looking ahead.

With the state calling the shots, and many diseases proclaimed “zoonotic,” government health bosses can lay down mandates with no scientific verification, as Fauci modeled during the COVID pandemic. In 2021, the same year he claimed to represent science, Fauci told a Montreal audience:

I think what people have to appreciate is that indeed, you do have personal liberties for yourself and you should be in control of that. But you are a member of society, and as a member of society — reaping all the benefits of being a member of society — you have a responsibility to society. And I think each of us, particularly in the context of a pandemic that’s killing millions of people, you have got to look at it and say there comes a time when you do have to give up what you consider your individual right of making your own decision, for the greater good of society.

Time for accountability

As it turns out, white-coat supremacy is standard-brand totalitarianism. That is Fauci’s vision moving forward, but the NIAID boss has a problem. President Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., author of “The Real Anthony Fauci.” In his cover endorsement, Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier proclaimed: “Dr. Joseph Goebbels wrote that ‘a lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’ Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Dr. Fauci and his minions. RFK Jr. exposes the decades of lies.” RFK Jr. can continue the exposure but not alone.

Trump’s choice to head the National Institutes of Health is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, smeared by Fauci and Collins as a fringe epidemiologist and censored from social media. Trump’s choice to run the Centers for Disease Control is U.S. Army veteran David Weldon, a physician, former congressman, and critic of the CDC and its vaccine policies.

Kennedy, Bhattacharya, and Weldon face an urgent and monumental task: the dismantling of white-coat supremacy, whose institutional structures remain intact. New NIAID director Jeanne Marrazzo is a Fauci disciple, and if anybody thought Fauci still runs the show, it would be hard to blame them. His plan for the future must not stand.

Never again should anyone, let alone a Lysenko figure like Fauci, be allowed to control a government health agency for decades. Never again should one person wield executive-level power without ever facing the voters. Never again should the same people control public health policy and spending on medical research.

Kary Mullis, who called out Fauci as unqualified for the NIAID job, died in 2019, but at this writing, Peter Duesberg is still around. As he explained in “Inventing the AIDS Virus,” Fauci worked behind the scenes to cancel Duesberg’s media appearances and targeted his NIH grants, which in time, hindered the cancer research that brought Duesberg to UC Berkeley in the first place. Without Fauci’s campaign against him, a cure for cancer might be closer at hand.

The damage wrought by Anthony Fauci is truly fathomless. At some point, Kennedy, Bhattacharya, and Weldon should bring in Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for attorney general, to make a case for reparations. The time for justice is now. In 2025, the people will be watching.

Clinton judge rules US military can't say no to HIV-compromised enlistees



A Clinton-appointed federal judge has ruled that the U.S. military cannot bar HIV-positive individuals from enlisting if they've temporarily rendered their viral loads undetectable through the use of costly antiretroviral drugs, which usually require daily use.

Judge Leonie Brikema of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia previously handled two consequential cases in which she ruled against certain military service restrictions on HIV-compromised individuals — persons who if left unmedicated could possibly succumb to opportunistic infections and/or infect their comrades.

Citing her own opinions in those cases, Brikema asserted in her Aug. 20 ruling that the Pentagon's "policies prohibiting the accession of asymptomatic HIV-positive individuals with undetectable viral loads into the military are irrational, arbitrary, and capricious."

"Even worse, they contribute to the ongoing stigma surrounding HIV-positive individuals while actively hampering the military's own recruitment goals," continued Brikema.

'HIV is an infectious, incurable, bloodborne disease with several possible ways in which the disease could be transmitted to other service members.'

The lawsuit that precipitated Brikema's ruling was brought on behalf of three HIV-positive individuals and a leftist advocacy group.

The first, Isaiah Wilkins, is an HIV-positive 24-year-old homosexual who receives HIV-related health care from the VA Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He has to take pills to suppress his viral load. Wilkins seeks to enlist in the Army.

According to a 2023 Congressional Research report, the Pentagon's Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division estimated that between January 2017 and June 2022, 1,581 service members were newly diagnosed with HIV.

The second plaintiff is Carol Coe, a 33-year-old transvestite living in Washington, D.C. He contracted HIV while serving in the military, then left the military in 2013 to get a sex change. Coe attempted to re-enlist in 2022 but was unsuccessful on account of his infectious disorder.

The third plaintiff is Natalie Noe, an Australian now living as a permanent resident in California. She was similarly told that her HIV positivity was a negative where recruiters were concerned. To manage her HIV, Noe takes pills daily and is injected with an antiretroviral therapeutic every three to six months.

The trio were joined in their action by Minority Veterans of America — a leftist advocacy group committed to "social and structural change" that has worked to guarantee access to "abortion and contraception, and gender confirmation surgery through VA for veterans."

'We are pleased the court has eliminated the last discriminatory policy that barred people living with HIV from seeking enlistment or appointment to the military.'

The suit was filed against the Department of Defense in November 2022.

According to the original complaint, medical advances in HIV treatments "should have led to an overhaul of military policies related to people living with HIV. Instead, the Department of Defense and the Army — and all military departments — have maintained the bar to enlistment and appointment of people living with HIV."

The suit claimed that policies barring HIV-positive prospects from enlisting violated the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause and the Administrative Procedure Act.

Court documents indicate that the Pentagon argued that:

the military's HIV policies are rationally related to promoting the health and readiness of the armed forces. For example, defendants continue to argue that asymptomatic HIV-positive individuals with undetectable viral loads may not take their daily medications properly, which would result in their viral loads rising; that HIV is an infectious, incurable, bloodborne disease with several possible ways in which the disease could be transmitted to other service members, such as through battlefield blood spatter or transfusions; and that HIV is associated with various comorbidities and side effects that could harm a service member's health.

The Pentagon further suggested that:

  • the science is clear about the meaningful risk of infection that comes with blood-to-blood transmission "even for individuals with an undetectable viral load";
  • restrictions on HIV-positive enlistees is "rationally related to the goal of ensuring that safe blood supplies are available for use in combat medical care";
  • "'deployment may make it more likely that' HIV-positive individuals 'could experience viral rebound' due to the 'increase[d] ... risk that [they] will not maintain strict adherence to their' HIV medications";
  • "recruiting HIV-compromised individuals would impose disproportionately higher financial costs on the military compared to individuals without HIV," given antiretroviral therapy costs between $1,800 and $4,500 monthly; and that
  • it is rational to preclude incurable disease-compromised persons from joining to "ensur[e] a healthy military."

Brikema, evidently unpersuaded by these arguments, has enjoined the Pentagon from barring HIV-compromised individuals with undetectable viral loads from joining the military.

"We are pleased the court has eliminated the last discriminatory policy that barred people living with HIV from seeking enlistment or appointment to the military," stated Gregory Nevons, senior counsel for Lambda Legal, an outfit that helped file the case. "Americans living with HIV no longer face categorical barriers to service careers — discharge, bans on commissioning, bans on deployment and finally bans on enlisting."

"This is a victory not only for me but for other people living with HIV who want to serve," said plaintiff Isaiah Wilkins.

The Military Times indicated that the Pentagon declined to comment on the ruling.

While HIV-compromised candidates have been given the green light to enlist, the Pentagon still has prohibitions on the recruitment or retention of persons with certain maladies, such as Crohn's disease, kidney abnormalities, asthma, anemia, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, various sleep disorders, and excessive sweating.

Maine poised to build ‘affordable’ LGBTQ+ senior housing complex, but HOW is this legal?



A Portland-based group is working with state-run organizations and funds to build "affordable" housing for low-income LGBTQ+ seniors in Maine.

But wait, isn’t that discrimination based on sexual orientation and thus illegal?

According to the executive director of the Equality Community Center and one of the people overseeing the project, Chris O’Connor, technically, “the center will be open to the entire community.”

However, listen to the developers talk about the project, and it’s clear that all marketing is framed around the LGBTQ+ community.

Ed Gardener, one of the founders of the ECC and the person who donated the land where the complex will exist, said, “I wanted to be able to give back to that community that helped me grow and thrive here in Portland.”

“We’re at Pride festivals all across southern Maine this month promoting specifically that this housing project is going to happen,” O’Connor said.

Even the complex’s interest form targets the LGBTQ+ community.

Pat Gray is disgusted (but not surprised) that “the government is involved in this discrimination.”

“How is that legal?” he asks. “You’re building a government-funded complex for members of the gay community only.”

The verdict: “We can discriminate based on sexuality, but it just has to be against the majority’s sexuality.”

Leftist protesters storm, briefly occupy McCarthy's office on Capitol Hill to make demand about federal program



Capitol Police arrested leftist protesters on Monday who stormed and briefly occupied Speaker Kevin McCarthy's office.

In a statement, Capitol Police confirmed that seven people were arrested after briefly occupying McCarthy's office in the Rayburn House Office Building. They were charged with unlawful entry.

"This morning, multiple individuals were demonstrating inside a House Office Building. After the demonstrators refused to cease demonstrating, USCP then arrested the 4 males and 3 females for Unlawful Entry," the agency said in a statement.

Video of the protesters occupying McCarthy's office was posted to social media. In total, the protest reportedly lasted about 15 minutes.

"Pass PEPFAR now, McCarthy!" the protesters shouted.

— (@)

Among those arrested were Charles King — CEO of Housing Works, a non-profit dedicated to combatting homelessness and HIV/AIDS — and Asia Russell, executive director of Health GAP, an organization that helps HIV-positive individuals afford their medications.

The activist group was demanding the reauthorization of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. The program, also known as PEPFAR, was launched in 2003 by then-President George W. Bush and is the largest global health initiative providing funding for the research, treatment, and prevention of HIV and AIDS. The program is credited with saving more than 25 million lives.

However, funding for PEPFAR — about $7 billion per year — will expire at the end of September unless Congress reauthorizes it.

But that reauthorization is jeopardized by Republican lawmakers who want to ensure that PEPFAR money does not fund abortions. Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) believes the Biden administration's decision to lift funding restrictions enacted by the Trump administration is allowing PEPFAR funds to end up in the hands of pro-abortion groups.

Republicans want to restore those Trump-era restrictions, which prohibited U.S. funds from supporting abortion overseas.

The Biden administration, of course, denies that funds are being used to support abortion.
