Scientists have created a strain of the human AIDS virus able to infect and multiply in monkeys in a step toward testing future vaccines in monkeys before trying them in people, according to a new study.
This strain of HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, was developed by altering a single gene in the human version to allow it to infect a type of monkey called a pig-tailed macaque, the researchers said on Monday.The genetically engineered virus, once injected into this monkey, proliferates almost as much as it does in people, but the animal ultimately suppresses it and the virus does not make it sick, they said.
The strain is called simian-tropic HIV-1, or stHIV-1.
Researchers hope to be able to test possible new AIDS drugs and vaccines in monkeys before trying them in people.
There is a “cousin” virus to HIV called SIV, or simian immunodeficiency virus, that causes a disease similar to AIDS in certain types of monkeys.
But this monkey AIDS virus is not identical to the one that infects people and is not a perfect substitute for testing drugs and vaccines against HIV.

While this may be legitimate AIDs research, it should be quite obvious that advanced biological weapons can, will and are being developed as part of the NWO arsenal.

Not only are the Elite trying to take out humans, but here they are trying to get rid og monkeys as well. Why in the hell would you ever create a strain of AIDS that can infect another species altogether?

Animal testing is just as illegal as torture.
Humans have to solve their own problems and stop trying to prevent natural selection by Nature.
It is no different than the vaccine shots they came out with 20 years ago being useless now because Nature will always adapt.
Eventually you will die of a more painful disease than what they are trying to manipulate.
It all seems fine when you think you are at the top of the food chain.

check out a book called the china study and you might change your mind about that
put it this way, if you eat like the rest of the population what makes you think you won’t also succumb to the same leading causes of death, complicating their lives and taking them out prematurely ?

We are all related bofors, feel pain and bleed red blood. Without these beautiful creatures like horses we wouldn’t have vaccines for snake bites. There would be no food like milk, cheese, and sweet and sour creme.
The Revelations of the Bible says 1/3rd of the earth will die by the beast of the field.
Raising animals in abuse, feeding them animal body tissue and blood, and adding animal manure to their diets is a sure sign there is nothing normal in the behavior of meat eaters.
A chimpanzee is almost a human being and cows are also fairly close, and pigs whom the God of the Hebrews refused the Israeli peoples to eat has almost organs identical to humans.
Jesus said not one sparrow dieth with God there, so religiously speaking even when you kill an animal God is there. The Bible says that when the life of an animal ends the soul of the animal goes back into the earth from where it came ,and when the life of a man ends his soul goes back to God from where it came. So death is death even if you are just an animal.

vaccinations reported to have been accidently contaminated with monkey dna. how the hell can that be an accident. if people really really knew what was in those damn things they wouldn’t be so quick to shoot their kids up with it. yesterday, recieved an automated message from my daughters school in regards to kids needing to be vaccinated and is a requirement in order to attend school. all i can say is fuck you and fuck them! aj is probably 100% correct when he said being able to acquire a waiver because of religious or medical reasons will become less and less til it becomes nonexistent.

if anyone is interested in the story behind HIV/AIDS (it’s a very peculiar one) check out this video

It’s got some very highly respected scientists in it debating whether or not we truly know the cause of aids, and they’ve got data to back up their arguments.
March 3rd, 2009 at 1:15 pm
WAIT !! I thought that according to them, AIDS came from monkeys. Now they want to infect monkeys ?????? How about the fact that the US Government has had the patent for the AIDS Virus and has had the patent for the cure since the early Seventies. Google AIDS/HIV Patent for virus and cure. Do your own research, don’t take my wword for it !!!

i suggest everyone go to video.google.com and look up a video called The Origin of AIDS. Vaccines are made by strapping a monkey to a table belly down and then, while it’s still alive and without pain-killers, they cut out both of it’s kidneys. They then mash them in a morter and pestle, drain the remaining blood out of the monkey (killing it) and then mix the kidney mash into the blood. Then the virus is added to the mix and allowed to grow. Finally they add fermaldehyde to “kill” the virus and then dilute with other nasties like thimerasol and msg.
March 3rd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
WHY??
March 3rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
HIV is a cover by big pharma to acquire large sums of money from government and scared people. HIV is a harmless virus. The death associated with HIV in America came primarily from the AZT treatment. In Africa it is due to malnutrition & poverty. The AIDS death numbers are inflated because they can claim an AIDS death from just about any condition with HIV infection as a co-factor – flu, pneumonia, cancer & the list goes on and on. There are many hiv-positive people who reject the big pharma scam, refuse their toxic “treatments” and are living healthy lives. The hiv tests, viral load bs and t-cell counts are all lies to scare the public. I am living proof.

March 3rd, 2009 at 4:05 pm
ok guys.. hold on a minute.. im as much a conspiracy minded person as anyone.. but i actually know a little bit about this cos i used to work with these very monkeys and am good friends with the asst. director of a facility that spearheads this. really. no bullshit. so heres the skinny…. the strain they created is a simple mutation that is being used in very dire desire to find a cure..(yeah maybe someone has it, but they dont) the strain doesnot kill the monkeys and only gives em the flu for a few days, but so far that wouldnt happen in humans. The HOPE is that they can use this strain to find a way to alter human HIV so that if you do contract it, it can be mutated to basically make it like having been exposed to chicken pox. you have it, but its gone permantly dormant… this strain is not even contractable by humans…also, the other use of this strain is that it lets the researchers try to find drugs that will work on destroying the reproductive capabilities of the virus. It gives them a test subject that will not have any sickness and will not succumb to the disease that can be used to target specific virus viabilities to try to make the virus unable to spread in the body. just so ya know, im a truther at heart, a vegetarian, and believe strongly in animal rights. .. after having been with the facility i found that the care and treatment of the monkeys is SUPERB . there are a number of people whose job it is to make sure the monkeys have a strong social/play life and that NO PAIN is ever given to them… ive seen it with my own eyes. a moral grey area? yes!.. but not the shadowy concoction of a new lethal virus. so far researchers have been unable to destroy the disease, so they are focusing on ways to mutate it into extinction or retard its ability to replicate in the body. that is what this virus is being focused on… could it be used by the wrong folks for the wrong purposes? ABSOLUTELY!! but that is not the intention by any means of those in direct contact with this…. ps.. no nimrods… i dont work for the NSA… =)

i was in no way saying that i dont think AIDS is an engineered bioweapon.. it may be, it may not be…i dont know, and i have much reason to suspect it could be…. what i was saying is that the particular virus in the article is not contagious to humans, not lethal to monkeys and doesnt worry me… like i said i am friends with the asst. director at the lab i worked with and i trust my friend implicitly. i dont go by just what ive been told EVER.. but there was no denying the genuine glee my friend had at each micro-step advance they made in finding a way to render human HIV ineffectual by working with this manipulated strain.

AIDS is not a bioweapon … AIDS is a myth. It is a made up disease which combines the death statistics of a bunch of other real diseases and calls them a pandemic. This is the scam so they can siphon off money from government and sympathetic public. Their goal? Who knows … possibly to re-introduce fear into sex to help control the population, or to obtain the funds and human guinea pigs to experiment on the creation of other bioweapons.
March 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 pm
This is so bogus. What ever happened to the initial claim that the virus came from the Green Monkey.
This is biological warfare. The virus can NOT live in oxygen so the only way it can get INTO the body is via an injection.
March 3rd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Ha!
Let me get this straight.
The original story was that an ‘African man in the bush’ had sex with a monkey in deepest, darkest, Africa thus creating the HIV virus.
They have revealed themselves in this article.
The mad ’scientist have CREATED a strain of the HIV virus, well, yes, and they did so in the 1980’s.
HIV is a bio-weapon. Those countries with high incidents of HIV/AIDS the citizens are constantly vaccinated. They are quinea pigs for big pharma. We all are. GMO foods, chemical trails, contaminated medications and plastics, spying cellphone, etc. Its all madness. …
It is like story of ‘The island of Dr. Monreau.’

Umm Centerbond or whoever at the top a couple of facts:
1. ‘They’ originally told us that AIDS came from a green monkey in Africa so why do we now have to inject another species of monkey to obtain this vaccine?
2. Based on my research for a microbiology report in college most if not all major magazines (ie, Nature, Science, etc.) stated that the virus was a retro virus that was a combination of bovine leukemia virus (i.e. from a cow) and sheep visna virus. NOBODY in the real science community was saying it came from monkeys, this article now admits that. The green monkey idea came from our sham media.
There’s much more but put this together. Think this isn’t possible? Where did Adolf Hitler get his inspiration for “race hygiene”? American Rockefeller supported eugenics ‘hero’ Margret Sanger. Who is the biggest advocate of Ms. Sanger’s “solution” to the black “human weed” problem in the “The Late Greate USA” (i.e., abortion)? Half white Barak Obama who voted in favor of something called the Born Alive Infant Abortion Protection Act.
Think this is impossible? Look in the mirror.
