This is a copy of my post in another thread (
ATS: Nobel Laureate, Wangari Maathai, Claims
AIDS an Engineered Disease)...

You will notice that this Nobel Laureate did not receive her prize for science, just agitation.

I don't agree with this statement. Her work in the science of reforestation cannot simply be discounted. She's a pioneer in the field.
The Nobel Prize gives her 15 minutes of fame on a worldwide stage. What statement to the world would you or I make given this opportunity?
I do agree with the rest of your post.
This disease is now striking all members in fast multiplying populations. Is this an engineered agent? Perhaps.
Back in 1988 the state of the art genetic science being thought in a certain Canadian University I attended was up to that level. Whether you are
splicing a gene into a microorganism to clean up oil spills or splicing genes together to create an entirely new organism, the basics are the same.
By the time technology gets down to being thought at university level, you can bet that the economic and, shall we say “social benefits” of that
technology have already been or are in the process of being exploited. Oh and I remember hearing more than once that HIV exhibited traits that you
would ascribe to an engineered agent. In other words, if someone wanted to design a population control “weapon” they could scarcely have done better
than HIV. That is the impression I got.
Or is this a natural agent? Not wanting to believe the former I think this is more than likely.
Over 6 billion humans and counting with rapidly depleting resources, polluting the atmosphere, polluting the water and driving species to extinction,
Gaia is sick and Her immune system is about to kick into high gear. Too much stress on an
environment by a local species will result in the natural equilibrium being disturbed until connected factors come into play to reestablish it.
Emergent diseases due to deforestation or any other cause are perfect examples.
So as you can see, I don’t know what to make of the “conspiracy theory” since it is plausible in my opinion.
Whatever the source of AIDS... the fact is... we now live with it.
The refusal of the patent holders of AIDS medicines to allow generic production in Africa is inhuman to put it mildly and lends credence to the
assumption that there are people in this world capable of such acts.
To add more information to this thread I direct the reader to this site I stumbled upon recently (I have not yet had time to explore it in detail).
They claim:
What You'll Find Here
This web site introduces many scientific challenges to widely held beliefs about HIV and AIDS and explains these in simple terms. You'll find
surprising facts about risks, insights into why testing HIV positive is not a death sentence (or even an indicator of infection with HIV), and
discover how unfounded estimates and unfulfilled predictions have shaped the public's perception of AIDS.
We invite you to use the articles, information, references, and links at our site to conduct your own investigation and arrive at your own conclusions
about HIV and AIDS.
What You Won't Find
We do not promote conspiracy theories, cures, homophobia, or any information not referenced from medical or scientific journals, government
publications, international health agencies, or recognized news sources. We offer only verifiable data that can help you distinguish between fear and
facts.
Think for Yourself
Alive & Well is not a philosophy, belief system or authoritarian organization. We do not tell you what to think, how to live, or what to do. Our
mission is to inspire thoughtful dialogue and vital discussion in order to bring about meaningful solutions to the global tragedy of AIDS.
We encourage responsible behavior and healthy choices. We respect your right to make your own informed decisions regarding HIV and AIDS.
