Dear Community Supporters:

We've added 2 more nights to our World AIDS Day fundraiser which will take place at the remodeled Plush Room in the York Hotel in San Francisco. http://www.plushroom.com

We hope that you or your clients will be able to come and enjoy some of SF's classic new music to support World AIDS Day & Global Poverty Awareness.

Attached is some general information for those of you who would like to show your support in the form of advertising and media reporting. Also, we're still hoping to find businesses that can supply items for our patron gift bags and raffle (a great way to support if you can't make the show).

Please contact Kyle, our Development Director for more information or if you would like to inquire about special reservations for non-profit AIDS organizations wishing to attend or for detailed press information.

Thank you in advance for your support and we would all appreciate it if you can pass this information along to your colleagues.

Kyle Brandon, Interim Director
A3USA


SEATING IS LIMITED

by from HIV causes AIDS hype
We need to take a closer look at the HIV causes AIDS story so often repeated by the pharmaceutical corporations and their naive supporters. Nobody likes to be wrong, yet people will cling to their myths despite evidence to the contrary. Just ask the Christians, they've been doing it for 2000 years!!

"Don't Buy the HIV Lie!

Despite a decade of hype, a sexually transmissible virus called HIV has never been identified according to the principles of viral isolation nor proven to cause AIDS. Sloppy science and the rush to patent a profitable blood test for detecting proteins assumed to mean infection with the gay sex/death virus resulted in the premature announcement in 1984 that HIV was the undisputed cause of AIDS. Since then, a campaign of HIV terror has been unleashed against gay men. HIV antibody testing for alleged viral proteins is continually forced upon us. Pills are pushed down our throats. AIDS is inescapable and the gay male identity has been consumed by it. Yet, upon close scientific and epidemiological scrutiny HIV's power disappears and the true, noninfectious causes of chronic immune suppression reveal themselves: malnutrition, stress, and long-term drug abuse.

Since 1981 hundreds of thousands have died from AIDS. But did all these men and women really die of immune suppression caused by a virus - or were the majority poisoned by the drug AZT? Zidovudine (AZT) was an experimental anti-cancer drug shelved in the sixties because it was found to be too toxic for human use at any dose. In the eighties, the chemical was dusted off and remarketed as an antiviral therapy for AIDS. Propaganda campaigns by the government, bought-off activists, and the drug's manufacturer Glaxo-Wellcome ensured that virtually everyone with an HIV-positive diagnosis, healthy or sick, took the poison. Many got sicker. Most died. None of us will ever forget. Later studies proved that taking AZT hastened death and destroyed quality of life for those on it. Today, AIDS drug dealers ignore the past and push more pills.

Though today's drug-company sponsored goons never admit it, the truth is that long-term survivors of an HIV-antibody positive diagnosis refuse to take AIDS medication. They stay away from doctors. And they don't get caught up in the psychological enslavement of T-cell and viral load counts. Because once a person is ensnared in the AIDS medical establishment he or she will be exploited and pressured into taking pills. Dangerous, experimental pills like protease inhibitors. Protease inhibitors make drug companies a fortune and make those who take them sicker. Check out reports in the gay press. Anemia, kidney and liver failure, impaired nutrient absorption, grotesque physical deformities. In the end, people feel pressured into consuming these chemicals because the HIV terror campaign is so scary. But remember, HIV cannot be shown to have killed a single person.

An AIDS vaccine might sound like a good idea until you look at AIDS more closely. If AIDS is the result of malnutrition, stress, and long-term drug abuse rather than a contagious virus, what good is a vaccine to stop HIV? Yes, a vaccine will generate a lot of money. Yes, a vaccine will create a lot of jobs. And yes, a vaccine will further reinforce the dangerous notion of a gay sex/death virus. But a vaccine will not cure AIDS. Even the logic behind an AIDS vaccine is flawed. According to the conventional view of AIDS, so-called HIV antibodies are bad, useless in eradicating the virus, and their presence signifies infection and impending death. Yet, a vaccine against HIV also seeks to generate antibodies but we're told this will now, somehow be beneficial. Seem paradoxical? It is! And that's the whole point about HIV. It's nonsense. So don't buy into the scam."

"AIDS in Africa

Unlike in the United States, AIDS in Africa is most frequently diagnosed based on four very imprecise clinical symptoms--diarrhea, fever, persistent cough, and weight loss greater than 10% over two months. HIV antibody tests are not required to diagnose a case of African AIDS. These four clinical symptoms are identical to the problems created by conditions of poverty that have troubled Africa and other developing areas of the world for centuries. In fact, symptoms of the so-called African AIDS epidemic are indistinguishable from the effects of malnutrition, unsanitary drinking and bathing water, and common curable conditions like malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, and parasitic infections.

Rather than solve the problems of African poverty caused by centuries of ruthless Western exploitation, the U.S. government insists on broadcasting the doomsday notion that Africa is suddenly gripped by a deadly, spreading sexual plague. According to these American health authorities, salvation from sickness can only be found in profitable pills manufactured by the white West and exported to black Africa.

America's Racist HIV Myth

The idea that AIDS originated in Africa is a popular myth without any scientific or epidemiogogical evidence. News reports that blame AIDS of African green monkeys are based upon elaborate speculation about species-jumpin viruses rather than reliable proof. Tall tales bout he spread of AIDS are promoted through the most vulgar and racist sexual stereotypes about promiscuous African people.

Still, the numbers speak for themselves. According to the 1999 WHO Global HIV/AIDS Report, the total number of AIDS cases in Africa virtually equals the total number of cases in America even though Africa, with its 650 million citizens, has more than two times the population of the United States. Africa is often cited as a worst case example of what could happen in America despite figures demonstrating that 99.5% of Africans do not have AIDS, and among Africans who test HIV positive, 97% do not have AIDS.

While Africa is the frequent target of damaging AIDS media reports, the total number of cases on the continent is relatively small. For example, from 1981 through 1999 cumulative AIDS cases for South Africa, the area claimed hardest hit by HIV, were just 12,825.

Exporting Extermination: AIDS PIlls Kill!

It is undeniable that experimental AIDS treatments like protease inhibitors and AZT are all highly toxic, dangerous products. Strokes, muscle wasting, anemia, physical deformities, dementia, brith defects, organ failure, and death are some of the "side effects" of these poisons. Thousands of gay men in the 1980s and 1990s died from AZT poisoning. Now the U.S. State Department has elevated AIDS to the level of a threat to national security in order to gain public support for exporting AZT to pregnant African women. Outspoken leaders like South African Presiden Thabo Mbeki--hard pressed to explain why developing nations stricken with famine and civil chaos should spend what little money they have on toxic anti-HIV drugs while millions starve--are relentlessly attacked as unfit and crazy by racist Western media outlets.

We invite you to investigate the growing international controversy over the cause and treatment of AIDS for yourself. Check out the below articles for more information."
