THE SPERM VS. THE AIDS VIRUS

A paper in the February 1992 issue of Applied and Environmental Microbiology reports that filtration techniques
show the HIV-1 virus to
be 0.1 micron (4 millionths of an inch) in diameter. It is three times smaller than the herpes virus, 60 times smaller
than the syphilis
spirochete, and 50 to 450 times smaller than sperm. (8)

THE FLAWED CONDOM

Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers, using powerful electron microscopes, have found that new latex, from
which condoms are
fabricated, contains "maximum inherent flaw[s]" (that is, holes) 70 microns in diameter. (9)

These holes are 700 times larger than the HIV-1 virus. There are pores in latex, and some of the pores are large
enough to pass sperm-sized
particles. Carey, et al., observed leakage of HIV-sized particles through 33%+ of the latex condoms tested. In
addition, as Gordon points
out in his review, the testing procedures for condoms are less than desirable. United States condom manufacturers are
allowed 0.4% leaky
condoms (AQL). Gordon states, "The fluctuations in sampling permits many batches not meeting AQL to be sold."
In the United States,
12% of domestic and 21% of imported batches of condoms have failed to meet the 0.4% AQL. (10)

CONDOMS FAIL TESTING

In a 1988 study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, Bruce Voeller of the Mariposa Foundation in
Topanga, California, many condoms had failure rates as high as 100%.

PANACEA OR PLACEBO?

In conclusion, Herbert Ratner, M.D., offers the best summary of all when he says,

Actually, the major accomplishment of the condom campaign to prevent AIDS is to impress the promoters, politicians
and the public at large that something is being done; and although well-intentioned, it offers more of a placebo than a
panacea.

Publicizing the condom to the four winds is, for the most part, the bravura of a puritan who is trying to prove to the
world that he is not a puritan. To concentrate on the mechanical aspects of the sex act to the exclusion of the emotional and
psychological aspects (which the condom campaign ignores) is the essence of Puritanism. The only difference
between the new and the old is that whereas the traditional puritans were alleged to believe that sex was something to
be isolated and repressed, neo-puritans accept sex as something to be isolated and exercised.

What do you look like Susan? I'm all for sex myself, but you should know that your hypothesis, er urban legend, was debunked years ago. However, if you're good looking and anti-puritan, holler at me.

"I'm all for sex myself, but you should know that your hypothesis, er urban legend, was debunked years ago."

Cite one single reference. Quite the contrary is true. Every recent study has confirmed that condoms are useless including Jones and Forrest, Mariposa Institute, Physicians Consortium and U.S. Naval Institute.

I look great (Tall, 22, slim, blue eyes and perky tits) but don't sleep with people who use disgusting condoms.

So sorry.

Could you please tell me where I can find more information on neo-Puritanism? It's a fascinating topic that no one dares touch with a 10 foot pole so I wonder if it's related to 1960 feminist theories (before feminism got co-opted by the bourgeoise) about patriarchal control over sexuality which legitimizes only one form of sexual behavior (male-female coitis) and ridicules or demonizes all others. A few links would be helpful. Thanks

HIV=AIDS establishment types need not bother posting anything as I am already too familiar with their lies.

We are in the process of creating a mega site and new International Group called the Sexual Liberation Front (SLF).

The site will cover every aspect of the repression of sex as a political tool, the AIDS myth, the history of our struggle from Mary Sanger to the present day and direct militant action.

If you would like to become a member please leave me your e-mail below. Love to have you (no pun intended - well maybe).

A great set of quotes: -


"The people need wholesome fear; they want to fear something. They want someone to frighten them and make
them shudderingly submissive."
- Ernst Roehm, gay leader of the Nazi SA Brownshirts

"We have created our myth. The myth is a faith, a passion. It is not necessary for it to be a reality."
- Benito Mussolini, The Naples Speech, 1922

"The power of such a method to force changes in cultural values is based on careful manipulation of fear. Ideally,
health promotion messages should heighten an individual's perceptions of threat and his or her capacity to respond to
that threat, thus modulating the level of fear...What is not yet known is how to introduce fear in the right way in a
particular message intended for a particular audience. Acquiring that knowledge will require planned variations of
AIDS education programs that are carefully executed and then carefully evaluated".
