Acout 30-40% of blacks believe that Aids is a white conspiracy to kill them.
It may or may not be true that the CIA did such things(see the other side of
deception-ostrovsky), but I dont believe it. However the accusation will
have an effect similar to the blood libels against the Jews in the middle
ages.
(Remember that most blacks still feel closer to the witch doctor than the
priest in southern africa)
The minister was interviewed on the radio on tuesday and refused to say even
upon repeated questioning if she believed HIV causes Aids. She also got very
upset half way through the interview that the interviewer(a mhlungu) was
calling her by her first name....the interviewer just ended up calling the
whole thing bizarre and ending the interview.
The ANC has now called on the interviewer(John Robbie ) to be sacked and
said in effect that the radio station (owned by Mr Katz) will now strugle to
get anyone from government to be availlable for interview.

S. Africa in hot water over AIDS again
CAPE TOWN, Sept 4 (AFP) -
The South African government is in hot water once again over AIDS -- this
time for circulating a chapter of a book which claims international
conspirators introduced the killer disease to Africa in a bid to reduce its
population.
Patricia Lambert, spokeswoman for Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang,
maintained Monday that the minister had circulated the chapter from William
Cooper's "Behold, a Pale Horse" to provincial health ministers as part of a
routine exchange of information.
The fact that the minister had passed on the document, which was sent
unsolicited and anonymously to the ministry, did not mean she identified
with
it, Lambert told journalists in Cape Town.
"We've seen pretty odd stuff, and this was some of it," she added.
Cooper claims the Illuminati, an alleged international conspiracy to take
over the world, introduced AIDS to Africa in 1978 through the smallpox
vaccine in an attempt to reduce the African population.
The minister's spokeswoman was speaking after Sandy Kalyan, a spokeswoman
for
the main opposition Democratic Alliance, said she was shocked the minister
appeared to be taking Cooper's views seriously.
Kalyan said Cooper was responsible for a bizarre conspiracy theory pulling
together the assassination of US president John Kennedy, alien invasions and
AIDS into a plot by renegade Central Intelligence Agency members to reduce
world population.
The distribution of the document follows controversy earlier this year over
President Thabo Mbeki's courting of foreign AIDS dissidents, some of whom
believe AIDS does not exist, and others who believe it is caused by poverty
and poor hygiene, not by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Western Cape provincial health minister Nick Koornhof has urged
Tshabalala-Msimang to distance herself from the theory.
Kalyan said the minister's office had also distributed copies of the
document
to all provincial premiers.
"The minister has not given an indication of her intentions, but it is
greatly worrying that this document, which rightly belongs in a rubbish bin,
should be distributed with apparently serious intent at a high level," she
said.
Lambert said that under the constitution, provincial and national ministers
shared responsibility for health issues.
"The minister receives a great deal of information from many sources, which
she distributes to the provinces.
"As far as we're concerned there's nothing unusual at all (in this case),
because it's part of stuff she routinely sends to the provinces so they can
be aware of the kind of stuff that's coming into her office."
Asked if there was any vetting of material being circulated,Lambert said
that
in the light of the current debate on AIDS, Tshabalala-Msimang sent
"everything" on.
"It certainly doesn't mean the minister is persuaded by this theory,"
Lambert
said.
