THEORY TO FACT – “SILENT GENOCIDE”
WHAT HAS BEEN THE ATTEMPT OF INDIVIDUAL OUTREACH TO HELP AFRICANS?
WHAT IS MY PRACTICAL SUGGESTION STILL AND MY REAL SOLUTION?
The notion here posed is one of responsibility for the Africans, who is thought to be more promiscuous with their sexuality than any other people and hence need to be curbed. However, though I must answer the question in my opinions of how to persuade Africans to practice safer sex, I must also introduce that the origins of their problems and curbed thereof, is not necessarily sole responsibility on their part, but is a result of what I call, “The silent genocide,” one of few that has taken place in our near history by higher beings to wipe out a populace for self gains. Already that seems off topic, but it weaves itself in the big picture and why any efforts might still seem futile in the light of safer sex practices.
AIDS, an acronym that stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. HIV, an acronym that stands for Human Immunodeficiency virus. HIV is the virus that leads to AIDS; and persons with HIV don’t immediately display symptoms of AIDS. HIV “virus infiltrates and destroys CD-4 cells of the immune system, which provide the body's main defense against various infections and may lead to AIDS. HIV belongs to a family of viruses known as ‘retroviruses’; unlike in most other virus families, the genetic material of HIV and its related viruses is RNA, not DNA. HIV infuses its RNA into the DNA of the host's cells, thus preventing them from functioning normally and creating conditions for the further generation of destructive viral bodies. AIDS stands for ‘acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.’ AIDS is a clinical condition characterized by dangerously low levels of disease-fighting cells in a body's immune system and/or diseases that cannot be controlled by a weakened immune system, such as diarrhea, significant weight loss, persistent parasitic infections, pneumonia and a rare form of cancer known as Kaposi's sarcoma. HIV is a virus that attacks and suppresses the immune system, whereas AIDS is a condition caused by one or more diseases resulting from weakened immune-system function. Simply put, HIV causes AIDS. HIV transmission can only occur when an infected body fluid is introduced into the bloodstream of an uninfected person, either directly or via mucous membranes (especially in the genital area). Research indicates that there are only four body fluids where the virus concentration is sufficient for transmission to another person: blood, sperm, vaginal secretion and breast milk. The most common way that HIV is transmitted is during sexual contact.” Another twist to this I will not get into, is this quote, “Most Americans have yet to be told about the role of HHV-6A in AIDS and CFS;” which might reveal other stuff along the lines of this essay.

their uncontrollable breeding - each country of 1 billion a piece. And they

knowing the consequences of such actions, with some dying from this "holy"

THEORY TO FACT – “SILENT GENOCIDE!”
Unknown
to many and might even seems Ludicrous, this AIDS epidemic could be a well-orchestrated
event at the African people. Before you laugh me to scorn, please read on. Firstly,
it’s not the first such things were done. For example, Spanish Conquistador
Cortes marched into

spelled disaster for the Amerindians…the concentration of Amerindians into newly
built towns” (Geography: Realm, Regions and Concepts). Sounds familiar? The

All in all, its proper name today is Biological Weapons. Used against the Indians (Small Pox), probably the early Europeans (Black Death) and now the Africans (AIDS). As one person puts it, “biology accomplished what ruthlessness could not have achieved in so short a time: diseases introduced by the Spaniards…decimated millions of Amerindians” (ibid).

Take the example of the McQuickterian Theory Fact Chart below:

McQuickterian Theory Facts: Satan, chief Devil, control the then elitist pigs of the south beyond McQuick’s line 2 and in another time, possible show that he controls the murderous sect of Muslims above McQuick’s line 1 (started their religion in the 1st attempted “suckery” [the term explained in the “Student Manifesto”] at a possible third seed of God’s redemptive process; too complicated to stop and explain now.) |
Theory 1: Knowing from the time of Muhammad (600 A.D) of the third seed, would possible know of the ethnicity** of the mediator and hence would attempt reducing that race dramatically, even extinction; though this seem far-fetched to us. However, other things hampered this, example, uncontrollable “white coats” and others with slavery. Nonetheless… Hence, this plague in Africa should be called “The Black Death” and not the former Bubonic plague that tried to destroy the first West* and landing of the Eagle. And, what was attempted at the first Mediator (Moses) through Pharaoh and the second (Jesus) through Herod was attempted with a possible the third mediator. |

Christianity might thrive again minus the Constantine false corrupt takeover
of the church; and hammering out truth with error and hence diluting the faith

of it. So New lands were formed in the Upper west that might give rise to an
Oasis of Christian adherents; which would be administered by God’s hand and
usher in the last great push. Christianity is vital to the earth and shapes
its histories and everything else, being the salt of the earth is an understatement
for you see that the major plagues of history surrounds it and almost all things
in earthly life. From the chief Devil fell, the bible said that the

Though God uses plagues on people for his purpose, especially those of overt hedonistic traits, historical and spiritual analysis will show that this is purely a work of the inherent evils previously mentioned. Nevertheless, God is sovereign and can stop or allow at will anything that takes place in human history, hence the verse, “shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?” (Amos 3:6). This includes AIDS (affectionately called for its fight against sexual immorality), Wars, a 3rd of the earth dying, a 3rd of regular drinking water undrinkable and many more astonishing things. What you should fear is not biological death, “fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matt 10:28); that is, God (Yah). AIDS, created for a silent genocide, became a world pandemic; “more than 60 million people worldwide have become infected, including 28 million who have already died. The majority of those newly infected today are under the age of 25. If current trends persist, by 2020 AIDS could claim up to 100 million lives worldwide, putting it on track to be the worst epidemic in human history.”
WHAT HAS BEEN THE INDIVIDUAL OUTREACH OF HELPING AFRICANS
There have
been several strategies and helps to the pandemic in
Past anti-AIDS efforts in
"Boosting women's economic opportunities and social power," says the annual UN AIDS report, "should be seen as part and parcel of potentially successful and sustainable AIDS strategies."
Out of sub-Sahara's HIV-positive young people, 76 percent
are female, according to the report.
These numbers are increasingly cited as reason to change longstanding
gender inequalities and cultural practices. A bill in
Uganda's proposed law would make bride
price optional, nontransferable, and nonrefundable. But such practices have
long been a key part of traditional societies [including today's societies that
are not as affected with AIDS as
Another innovation, somewhat unorthodox and risky because of the medium of use, is the Internet. Nigeria’s “NGOs, seeking new partners to the anti-Aids campaign, recently introduced an Internet chat forum as they begin to use the new information technology to examine all issues concerning the dreaded disease. Omololu Falobi, coordinator of the Nigeria-Aids Forum, told IPS, ‘Electronic mail networking is an innovative, effective way of reaching the public with prevention information and empowerment of the citizenry with the appropriate knowledge and skills to act to stop AIDS.’ Although Internet connections are low and costs are high in Nigeria, journalist-activist Falobi asserted that the Internet can still be a "cheap, immediate and effective medium for networking...With such internet-based forums, we can and have broken the silence surrounding AIDS in our communities, but especially in the corridors of powers."
Altogether they have been several outreach programs to HIV/AIDS, yet neither an individual nor a combination of the efforts has achieve results worth overtly being over joyous. Nevertheless, the effort must go on.
Medications that combat AIDS are too high and private drug companies wont make the products affordable for Africans. Internet exploits can only reach a few, mainly the well-to-doers, which make up a smaller percent of the population. Campaigns are good and if funded can work well, but not all countries can afford these campaigns, especially with depleting GDP with the AIDS fatality and medical debt. Empowering the women economically and socially don’t make them responsible sexually, for the same women in the west are of the most empowered and also some of the most promiscuous.
“Church” ban on condom use has also hindered its distribution, for it is still fornication, a sin worse than aids; plus it increases promiscuity, and with the allege 10% margin of error you’re bound to get caught one time. Therefore, though statistic claim it prevent AIDS 90%, it is not welcomed by the “church.” Another thing that makes it not welcome is the culture or mindset of the populace, which the “Ambush Theater” tried to correct, but even in their performances they are mocked. What is this cultural set? Time magazine puts it quite candid, “At another house, the wife was branded a whore when she asked her husband to use a condom, beaten silly and thrown into the streets.” Though if you think of it, most men dislike the use of condoms, as one said, “it’s like eating the candy with the wrapper.” With all this said and done, one source got to the reality of the matter, “researchers Sanny Chen and Norman Hearst noted that, ‘In many sub-Saharan African countries, high HIV transmission rates have continued despite high rates of condom use.’ In fact, they continued, “No clear examples have emerged yet of a country that has turned back a generalized epidemic primarily by means of condom distribution.”
WHAT IS MY PRACTICAL SUGGESTION STILL AND MY REAL SOLUTION
My practical
solutions are some of the same solutions mentioned in the battle against AIDS
in
“A focus on abstinence is seeing a resurgence…A growing number of Ugandan groups - led by religious leaders and the first lady - are hoping to steer teens away from early sex. It's spawning what one local paper dubbed the "virginity craze." A recent event hosted by first lady Janet Museveni showcased 600 "virgins" who've pledged abstinence. The effort in this highly religious nation is partly a backlash against recent marketing efforts to boost condom use.
The trouble with advocating condoms more aggressively than
abstinence or faithfulness is that "many people who fail to abstain eventually
fail to use a condom," says Luboga Samuel, a professor at
This campaign has fostered the biggest HIV infection drop in world history. The occurrence rate of HIV in 1991 was 15%. Admirably, it had dropped to 5% in 2001. The drop was even more remarkable among pregnant women 21.2% of expecting mothers tested positive for HIV in 1991. The number had plunged to 6.2% in 2000.
However, solution one is the backbone but since the epidemic has reached this far, to incorporate solution one more practically, there has to be widespread testing before marriage, which is solution two. “Abstained” couples courting shouldn’t get tested before marriage and consequentially before engagement in sexual activities. The marriage of the two “Abstainee” will either continue if none is found to have the disease or discontinue if one has it. The one who has it is barred from marriage for life and further sexual activities. Though, the last solution might help him or her; and marrying of two infected person is not encouraged either!
Incidents of infected needles are rare and can be closely monitored to zero incidents in hospitals/clinics and the same numeral, with education, if Africans “do” drugs with needles.
Notice
I bold “on its own” in the solution one, that is because solution one takes
care of the problem in a normal case. But if you have read this essay in its
entirety you’ll see that
To those
interested, you not only say words of requests, but also believe even without
seeing right there and then, that those words or requests are instantaneously
had. Hence, “believe that you receive it and you shall have it” (Mark 11:24).
Why is it so hard to believe that a few words can be so impacting, when people
see and believe in the abominable real magicians who say a few words and wonderful
things happen? Words are powerful when backed by a spirit; it is most powerful
when backed by God’s spirit. This is fully realized if one becomes righteous
or saved, solidifying the fact that states, “The effectual fervent prayer of
a righteous man availeth much”
(James 5:16).
No apologies if this
essay seems to have turn out like a sermon, I tried to make it as scholarly
as possible with the McQuickterian Chart; but the fact is that only fools are
left in the dark, and purposely so, of the ongoing heaven earth intricate relations
in our lives, explained in Judeo-Christianity. And for those Fallen Ones of

humanity as a “man” another “man” for now, but more so like how humans like
pets or the attachment I had with my childhood teddy bear) hear this:

I don’t know about you but I have learnt a great deal from this essay (doing the research) and I hope the solutions, at least the last one, is put into practice.

is that they crumbled under hard work on the plantations. Totally nonsensical
because as told me often, “hard work never kill anybody.” This is also a poor
excuse because
