CLINTON'S ARKANSAS BLOOD SCANDAL STILL DRIPPING

MARCH 2006

WASHINGTON POST ADMITS PRISON-AIDS TIE

ONE OF THE BEST kept secrets of the American elite has been that its prison policies have not been tough love but, at best, massive negligent manslaughter. Not only has the war on drugs killed more young black American men on the streets than were killed in Vietnam, but the prison system is a primary incubator for AIDS. This has been ignored and denied by the mainstream media so for the Post to headline "Answer to AIDS Mystery Found Behind Bars" is a bit of a step forward. Writes Richard Morin misleadingly, "It is one of the most puzzling mysteries of the AIDS epidemic: Why did blacks, in little more than a dozen years, become nine times as likely as whites to contract a disease once associated almost exclusively with gay white men? Two researchers say they found the answer in an unlikely place: prison."

In fact, there's little puzzling about it. We have repeatedly pointed to the tie between AIDS and prisons not only because of the amount of unprotected sex behind bars but because prisons have served as an incubator in black neighborhoods after AIDS-infected prisoners are released and resume heterosexual sex.

Here is just one example of the damage that has occurred, again something the archaic media largely failed to report:

PROGRESSIVE REVIEW, 1999 - In the mid-1980s, as contaminated blood flowed from Arkansas inmates to other countries, then-Governor W.J. Clinton sat on his hands despite evidence of severe mismanagement in his prison system and its medical operations. . .

Some of the killer blood ended up in Canada where it contributed to the deaths of an unknown number of blood and plasma recipients. An estimated 2,000 Canadian recipients of blood and related products got the AIDS virus between 1980 and 1985. At least 60,000 Canadians were infected with the hepatitis C virus between 1980 and 1990. Arkansas was one of the few sources of bad blood during this period. . .

Other Arkansas plasma was sent to Switzerland, Spain, Japan, and Italy. In a case with strong echoes of the Arkansas scandal, a former premier of France and two of his cabinet colleagues are currently on trial stemming from the wrongful handling of blood supplies. Some of the blood in the French controversy may have come from Arkansas.

A 1992 Newsday report on the French scandal noted that three persons had been convicted for their role in distributing blood they knew was contaminated: "Throughout the 1980s and later, blood was taken from prison donors for use in blood banks despite a series of directives warning against such a practice. According to the report, donations from prisoners accounted for 25 percent of all the contaminated blood products in France. Blood from prisons was 69 times more contaminated that that of the general population of donors."

The Arkansas blood program was also grossly mishandled by the Food and Drug Administration. And the scandal provides yet another insight into how the American media misled the public about Clinton during the 1992 campaign. The media ignored a major Clinton scandal despite, for example, 80 articles about it in the Arkansas Democrat in just one four-month period of the mid-80s....................[/u]

When I asked BPB "how illegal?" I was referring to how severe the penalty would be under the scheme proposed for shagging, or being shagged by, in circumstances where conception is not ruled out, by a person of the same racial ancestry.

If it was, say, the same as the penalty for jay-walking or throwing litter away in the street or the penalty for treason.

Should it be the former I think BPB has finally discovered how to tax shagging and if the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board doesn't realise what an important discovery that is he shouldn't be the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

That brilliant post should have been directed to BPB pages ago.

The fact that BPB's post went without opposition led me to assume it had been accepted on the thread.

Matters to do with "race" have been being discussed.

BPB suggested a perfectly sensible and efficient way of getting rid of "race" as an issue.

Have you an issue with it?

Where have I been? I have ranked Bill Clinton higher than George Bush simply on the basis of the economy, but he's a scumbag that gave pardons to many criminals before his tenure was up. Talk about using the presidential powers in the wrong way, Bill was disgusting!


I don't know where you've been, c.i., but you sure as hell haven't been paying attention to what I've been saying over the years.

I dunno; it's up in the air in both places. They won't call OH or TX right away, for sure.

Exciting night!

One thing is for sure Roxy and that is that what time Ohio will keep polls open in Sandusky county until to is a very minor matter compared to BPB's wise suggestion.

I should think they could keep them open all night without the earth moving.

Clinton Aims to Push Beyond Ohio and Texas

"We expect on Wednesday the momentum of Sen. Obama will be significantly blunted and new questions will be posed as to whether he is the right candidate for the Democratic Party," said Mark Penn, Sen. Clinton's chief strategist, in a conference call with reporters.

"Then this nomination will go straight to the convention."

It's all a distraction to keep you all politically neutered.

When you start on about the polls in Sandusky staying open an extra hour you have been neutered politically goodstyle.

An explanation for the politically unastute:

The reason I mentioned the polls staying open is that I thought that would prevent the networks from making a projection. But that is not the case.

I'm glad Ohio is "competitive"!! I saw the "projection" graphic and got really nervous. Just McCain. Whew.

I'm just rooting for a less than 8 percent margin (if Hillary wins. Any margin is fine if Obama wins!)
