Both PCG's Ron Fraser and Osama bin Laden Wrong About HIV/AIDS's Origins

May 1999 issue.

As seen in a previous post, "PCG's Ron Fraser Falsely Blaming Sexual Promiscuity for "Giving Birth" to AIDS", Ron Fraser once inaccurately blamed sexual promiscuity in America (and Britain) for "giving birth" to AIDS.  

The current generation of foreign policy formulators and administrators in the West, particularly in the present British and American administrations, is the product of a left-wing, socialist-engineered education system that had its genesis in the 1960s (though its true origins may be traced to the Marxist-Leninist thought engendered by the fathers of socialism in the early 1900s). Socialist philosophy has always had particular appeal to the intelligentsia. Often described as the “baby-boom generation,” the post-World War II generation, which had their minds bent by German rationalist thought, tends to predicate all analyses, judgments and conclusions on godless evolutionary theory, based on the overall assumption that there are no absolutes.

In general terms, to this generation all of the values, mores, honorable traditions—even documented history of past events—are held up to question. This approach to subjective analysis is fundamentally sourced at a basic and false assumption—that the theory of relativity applies not just in the arena of physical sciences. By extension it is assumed that it generally may be applied to human behavior—religion, moral standards, ethics and human values. Thus we have the concept of “moral relativity,” which spawned the “new morality” of the 1960s, giving birth to a new and uncontrollable communicable disease—AIDS. (Ron Fraser, What's Behind the Crisis in Foreign Relations?, The Philadelphia Trumpet, May 1999, p. 3.)

You know who else happens happens to think that HIV/AIDS came from America? Osama bin Laden.

(Don't worry.
The publishers of this book have nothing to do with Al Qaeda.)

The following quote comes from a letter by that mass murderer, Osama bin Laden, entitled "To The Americans", dated October 6, 2002. He is talking to Americans here in the following passage below.

And because of all this, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were unknown to man in the past. Go ahead and boast to the nations of man, that you brought them AIDS as a Satanic American Invention. (Osama bin Laden in Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama bin Laden, 2005, p. 168.)

The editor of the book helpfully corrects this ridiculous delusion.

AIDS originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century. The estimated prevalence of HIV infection in North America is among the lowest in the world, at between 0.3 and 0.6 per cent of the population. (Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama bin Laden, 2005, p. 168.)

Of course sexual promiscuity had nothing to do with "giving birth" to AIDS. What actually happened was that a disease that previously infected apes developed a strain that could infect humans as well. The first infections occurred in Africa. However it was not until 1981 when scientists in America and France proved that this was a new disease that had not previously infected humans.

Sexual promiscuity had nothing to do with "giving birth" to AIDS. Both Ron Fraser and Osama bin Laden are wrong on this matter.

So we see that Osama bin Laden was not just a mass murderer but an ignorant moron as well.

Now of course PCG and Al Qaeda are very different things. PCG and Al Qaeda are nothing like each other and I am not trying to insinuate some connection between them. There is none. They emerged from very different worlds for very different purposes.

Despite the many problems within PCG it is not like Al Qaeda plotting to seize political power for themselves through violence.

But it is strange to see such different persons from such different perspectives promoting the same ridiculous and inaccurate idea about the origin of HIV/AIDS.
