Jon Rappoport reviews documentary film "House of Numbers"

A NEW FILM ABOUT AIDS

JANUARY 20, 2010. Brent Leung, a young Canadian filmmaker, has just released House of Numbers, which explores every basic official fact about AIDS—and finds these facts shot through with doubts and holes.

The accuracy of HIV tests; the competing and unclear definitions of AIDS; whether HIV causes AIDS; overblown case numbers; the safety and efficacy of the medicines; the supposed lethality of HIV; all these issues come up for review.

What’s remarkable is that Leung gained access to major AIDS researchers and bureaucrats and put them on camera for interviews: Robert Gallo; Tony Fauci; Robin Weiss; David Baltimore; Luc Montagnier. You’ll see a gallery of officialdom on display.

Predictably, House of Numbers has ignited controversy. It questions authority.

Among its high points—

In 1985, an African definition of AIDS was framed by Western scientists so that, without any defining test, an eyeball diagnosis could be made. The result? Untold numbers of Africans who have exhibited obvious signs of ordinary immune suppression and lives lived in poverty have been arbitrarily called AIDS victims.

For several reasons, the standard blood tests for HIV (Elisa and Western Blot) are unreliable. Worst-case, a person could submit to a test, and merely depending on what country he lived in, he could be diagnosed positive or negative.

The drugs given for AIDS are highly toxic, and can cause death in the short or long term.

In what is perhaps the most shocking moment of the film, Nobel Laureate Luc Montagnier, the co-discoverer of HIV, states that a person with a strong immune system should be able to throw off the effects of the virus.

Coming from anyone else, this remark would be cast off like some piece of nonsense, especially since it torpedoes the whole billion-dollar pharmaceutical assault on AIDS. But Montagnier is one of the brightest stars in the HIV-research firmament.

When advance clips of the film were released, Montagnier’s statement caused a firestorm, and charges were leveled that Leung had edited that remark to twist its meaning and context. Leung then posted footage (cut out of the final edit of House of Numbers) that showed Montagnier had gone even further in his assessment that HIV was not a lethal virus.

Another Nobel Laureate, Kary Mulllis (1993, Chemistry), appears on camera attacking the HIV=AIDS formulation. He also observes that, before AIDS surfaced in the early 1980s, the CDC was a fading institution, and was in danger of losing most or all of its funding—and desperately needed a new epidemic to bring it back into the spotlight. Mullis implies that the CDC was consciously and desperately casting about for a novel germ it could tie to a health threat, and was proceeding beyond the bounds of rigorous science to get there.

Audiences unfamiliar with AIDS controversies that have been brewing for 20 years under the radar will be thrown back in their chairs. They will come away from the film with a slew of doubts about the pronouncements of official AIDS science.

As for “the AIDS professionals,” who make their living building on shaky foundations, they are, of course, livid about the film—as are some AIDS activists.

However, after reading criticisms of House of Numbers, I see no willingness to take up Leung’s many points through honest and complete debate. Instead, as usual, there is name calling and denial.

This is par for the course. Since 1984, when the so-called cause of AIDS was announced on national television, at a press conference—without strong published confirming studies—the AIDS establishment has been tap dancing their way through history.

The fact that people have been dying, and that a better understanding of the causes could have resulted in saved lives, seems to have made no dent in the establishment’s armor.

But that, too, is par for the course.

House of Numbers illustrates an all-too-familiar pattern of modern science in action: a hypothesis is floated by a few researchers; it gains traction and funding; the wagons are circled and the hypothesis is called indisputable; funding ceases for all other possibilities and alternatives; critics are viciously attacked; the original hypothesis is never confirmed by truly independent research.

In this turgid atmosphere, it’s left to outsiders to examine the flawed science. This is what Leung has done. He’s done his job well. A new generation will now have a chance to consider the explosive issues surrounding AIDS.

Explosive Conflict of Interest; Who Profits from the National Health Plan? Podcast link

Are Democrats protecting the uninsured, or the stocks that government owns in Big Pharma?

Join Jon Rappoport and me as we reveal what may be the world's largest insider-trading scandal never told! Listen to this podcast only if you want to hear an explosive conversation about how governments are really profit-making investment businesses, with the power to make their investments soar...and how that sets up an enormous conflict of interest in the coming national health plan.

FDA regulations in favor of drugs and against dietary supplements are now acknowledged to be part of a de facto protection racket to insure drug and vaccine manufacturer stock prices continue to go up. Why? To insure the solvency of government. How flush with pharmaceutical funds are the state governments? No one knows as they continue to claim that they teeter on the edge of bankruptcy.

What if they are so flush with funds that they could be returning Taxpayer funds back to the Taxpayers? (click the previous sentence to read all about it)

This podcast interview with Jon Rappoport reveals that there is NO DIFFERENCE between government and business. The business of government is business. Unfortunately, it's not your business.

Be warned, this podcast is definitely too hot for the pharmaceutically-controlled mainstream media. Make sure you review the research of Walter Burien.

Jon Rappoport "Barbara Starfield JAMA 2000" uncensored podcast link

Why is it that collectivists on the left worship medical science as if it were a religion? Google “Barbara Starfield JAMA 2000" and explain away 106,000 deaths every year due to "scientific" allopathic medicine.

Robert Scott Bell talks with investigative reporter Jon Rappoport about the THE SMOKING GUN at the congested heart of the American medical system: a July 2000 JAMA-published report on medically caused deaths.  Jon recently interviewed the author of that report, Barbara Starfield from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.  This information is astonishing!

Since its publication ten years ago, over 2 million Americans have died due to an FDA-approved and regulated form of medicine.

If that's too abstract for you, you've checked your humanity at the door to worship at the altar of the Church of Biological Mysticism.

This is a special unedited and uncensored podcast discussion of what awaits us should the “reform” of health care institutionalize the 3^rd leading cause of death in America (Obama-care-to-be) at the force of a government gun (Pelosi mandate).

"The Obama-care Threat to U.S. Health and Freedom" podcast link

Despite cries from the elite-left that a public option is the only thing that can help the uninsured, its implementation is perhaps the greatest threat to the health of the very people they claim to want to help. Obama-care promises to institutionalize even further a very dangerous medical monopoly, effectively ending what is left of freedom on American soil. I am honored to interview Jon Rappoport so that we may both understand the threat and act appropriately that it may not come to pass:

"In this interview with Robert Scott Bell, I wanted to leave no doubt that the Obama healthplan is a disaster for us all, and not only in the ways we usually think about.  There are secrets. The medical system is already the third leading cause of death in the US.  This is not speculation.  It's fact.  When you see this angle, you open your eyes to the real work that lies ahead, and the real stakes in this game.  I urge you to listen to our conversation here and take action." - Jon Rappoport

In this exclusive podcast interview, we reveal the depths of the danger and why Nancy Pelosi thinks it fair to imprison Americans who refuse to participate. Liberty's end? In 45 minutes, Jon and I go places  that reporters in the mainstream media covering this story are too frightened to go. Evolution, revolution, secession, nullification? Freedom. It's all here...

Special Bonus Podcast with Jon Rappoport on the Liars of the CDC & Swine Flu

According to investigative journalist Jon Rappoport, the CDC behaves more like Chicken Little with its continual pronouncements about the end of the world. They appear to be in a panic that more Americans are not buying into the H1N1 propaganda. Is the CDC just trying to grow its budget or defend the growth of the global medical cartel? The prevention therapies they tout will actually induce more disease than it prevents. No matter what their agenda, the end result is beneficial for the disease management industry.

The CDC behaves more like Chicken Little with pronouncements about the end of the world rather than acknowledging the truth:

The truth is that disease prevention and reversal must ultimately be accomplished by restoring nutritional integrity to the body. No man-made vaccine or drug can replace the essential elements that are embedded into the very fabric of Creation. Yes, nutrition. But even more importantly, the freedom to choose it.

Listen to the podcast and hear Jon reveal the connection between the Bird Flu, SARS and the Swine Flu scares and more.
