Eugenics was a scientific theory that grew in popularity during the 1920s. Eugenicists believed that poverty, promiscuity and alcoholism were traits that were inherited. Some of America’s wealthiest citizens of the time were eugenicists including Dr. Clarence Gamble of the Procter and Gamble fortune and James Hanes of the hosiery fortune. Hanes helped found the Human Betterment League which promoted the cause of eugenicists.
Eugenics was practiced in the United States many years before eugenics programs in Nazi Germany[4] and actually, U.S. programs provided much of the inspiration for the latter.[5][6][7] Stefan Kühl has stated the Consensus between Nazi Race Politicians and Eugenicists in Other Countries, including the United States, and pointed that eugenecist understood Nazi policies and measures as the realization of their goals and demands.
Results of a study released May 12th showing that the early introduction of antiretroviral drugs immediately after an HIV diagnosis deters the spread of HIV are “highly encouraging,” said C. Virginia Fields, President and CEO of the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS, Inc. (NBLCA).
“We applaud the efforts of the courageous individuals and highly respected scientists who participated in the trial, known as HPTN 052,” Fields said. “They have made an important and significant contribution to the fight against HIV/AIDS. Certainly, more scientific study is called for. The results of this trial, although extremely encouraging, is not a panacea. Ultimately, researchers, supported by sufficient funding from our federal government, must step up their efforts to find a cure for this devastating global HIV/AIDS pandemic. Three decades of living in the dark shadow of HIV/AIDS is long enough!”
Fields added: “This highly encouraging study supports what the NBLCA, other organizations, and infectious disease specialists have been saying for years. Knowing one’s HIV status and gaining early access to treatment and care is beneficial both for the individual and the community at large. In 2010, armed with this scientific knowledge, the NBLCA played a leading role in successfully amending Article 27F of New York State’s Public Health Law to require medical practitioners to offer HIV testing to New Yorkers between the ages of 13 and 64 in all appropriate medical settings, as recommended by the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The idea is simple – a patient who tests positive for HIV can be linked to treatment and care early in the course of their infection, as opposed to later when they become sicker. This early treatment benefits the patient by keeping them healthier longer and reduces the community’s viral load.”
On Thursday, May 12, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Myron Cohen from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, announced the findings of a $73 million HIV trial involving 1,763 couples in 13 cities and four continents, including Africa, Asia, South America, and North America.
According to multiple sources, an explosion occurred earlier today at the Foxconn factory in Chengdu, China. The factory is one of Apple’s leading manufacturing plants.
Two people were killed in the explosion and 16 injured, all of whom were Foxconn employees. More than ten fire engines, ambulances, and police cars were at the scene. It took place in the A5 building of the factory, which supposedly operates as a “polishing plant” for the production of Apple’s iPad 2.
The extent of the damage is still unclear, but supply analysts say it will most probably have an effect on the production of the iPad, which has been in a short supply of late. The factory has suspended production until an investigation is completed.
In a statement, Foxconn said it is “working with medical officials to provide treatment to the injured employees and we are working with government and law enforcement officials to contact the families of all employees affected by this tragedy.”
After 10 employees committed suicide last year in Foxconn’s Shenzen division, the factory and Apple have been under scrutiny for their treatment of workers and for supposedly allowing “sweatshop-like conditions.” In response, Apple conducted internal investigations and said it was working to “ensure that conditions throughout our supply chain are safe and workers are treated with respect and dignity.”

21 Dead Infants Wash Ashore in China River. Beijing is staring a controversy in the face, but in one day the dumping of 21 dead infants in a river has turned from a horrific medical action to maybe it’s a cultural thing. NOT!! According to the Associated Press, the Shandong province-based Qilu Evening News reported that hospitals normally ask the family to take dead infants. Also, some rural families in China see the death of a young child as bad luck among some rural families, and the baby is abandoned or put in an unmarked grave. The two mortuary workers responsible for the dumping of these babies have been arrested, but nothing telling authorities why they did this. Allegedly, the families paid them to get rid of the infants…but…not like this. Could you imagine swimming along in the river and a dead baby floats up next to you or a part of the baby floats by you? The people who discovered the baby nearly had that experience. According to the report, one of the babies was in a yellow plastic bag marked “medical waste.” Ridiculous!
Predictions that I see for the next 12 months or after.
1. This year there will be a big explosion at the corner of a building, seem like a financial institution. This will be in-house our people will do this. Not terrorist from the outside. Death toll 9-11 people. This takes place in New York or someplace very close by.
WEATHER –
1. Somewhere on this planet a “Volcano” will explode and be heard around the world. Yes it will be so intense, it will speed up the axes once again. It will remind scientist of the volcano “Krakatoa” from the past.
2. There will be flooding in 2012, in lots of areas across the nation, more than usual predictions. There is one that stands out and the catalyst will be the Mississippi River. We have never experience anything like this as a nation.
3. Alaska will experience a very strong 7.5 to 8 earthquake. The funny thing is, it will be man-made by Black Ops, not from the earth naturally. Also a lot of UFO testing go on in this same area or location of earthquakes. Earthquakes this year to be remembered and discussed, talked about are: Japan, Chile, Singapore (could be catastrophic).
TECHNOLOGY -
1. Good news! I believe this year you will be able to communicate with your 5×7 tablet as a phone communicator, and webcam. In other words the new phone with it all in one.
2. Strides in the field of Cancer (skin), Bionic (parts more mobile, bendable, breathable), Stem Cell (regenerating organs), Brain Modification (healing mental disease with electrode nanos, in the sleeping state).
POLITICS –
1. President Barack Obama will get a 2nd term.
2. Pharmaceutical companies will finally get their dues. They have been ripping the American consumer off for years, even with Generic brands. Under the table, bribes, donations to charities all in the name of some good or bad doctor to make money. Well this year a whistle-blower with defining proof what is really going, will have their story finally told, even to the expense of death. There is also a few Congressmen employed in this.
3. In less than 10 years the Federal Reserve will no longer exist, which is a good thing. Run by the rich and famous. Was set up by millionaires.
4. Look for U.S. Senators to come up missing in 2012, or to come up dead. Either through assassination, poisoning, vehicle accident, drowning, it going to happen.
ENTERTAINMENT –
Look for actors/actresses to get paid less for their jobs. WHY? you say, lol because of Comcast, Infinity, Dish, Direct etc. i.e. By the time you go to the theatre and spend about $80.00. You can sit at home in the comfort of your Media Room, Living Room, Family Room. Food is right there and drinks. Doesn’t matter how small or large the crowd, you only pay once price for the movie and that’s it! There is already a program of $60 in place to watch (opening day, block busters, first run) movies in the comfort of your home then to go to the theatre. Most cable or dish companies charge $4.99 to $9.99 for first time release. Which states movie theaters will become a thing of the past very soon. Remember the old “drive in theaters”.
