The build up as we spread the horrific story
Latest news!
(Update 14th July 04)
The New York Press, (NYC's independent weekly) has picked up Liam
Scheff's investigation of Pediatric AIDS medical abuse.
The article reports the facts about AIDS drug toxicity, HIV test non-specificity,
and exposes the current practice of force-drugging children who refuse their
medication through surgically-implanted stomach tubes (g-tubes).
The paper deserves credit for its courage. The NY Press has a large and active
letters page. They will, no doubt, receive their share of "fan mail"
from the mainstream for publishing this.
Please let them know that their decision to publish this is appreciated,
and important to the health and welfare of people everywhere who are fighting
medical tyranny.
So many thanks to the NY Press.
Read "Orphans on Trial".

In January, 2004, I published "The House That AIDS Built."
The story was picked up by several international papers, including the New York Post and the UK Guardian, and was reprinted throughout the world on the world wide web.
German journalist Torsten Engelbrecht read the story and formulated a series of questions for Columbia Presbyterian, the hospital which presides over ICC. He was answered by a PR firm. The answers were dishonest and unsatisfactory. What follows is a response to and a dissection of their
answers using NIH documents, clinical trials, interview material, Medline
articles and Department of Health statistics. Given the material provided here, it is clear that the practice of surgical forced-drugging of HIV positive children with toxic compounds is ongoing, in violation of the rights of wards of the state, and must be addressed immediately.

recently taken up Liam Scheff's reporting.

trial abuses hits the wire, but most news media ignore it? For years, CNN’s
Christiane Amanpour has been saying—not on CNN, of course—that
courageous reporting is vanishing from the U.S. major media.

London Observer/Guardian Confirms "The House That AIDS Built"
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1185305,00.html The incarnation Children's Center story has again been picked up
and validated by another major paper - this time by Antony Barnett of the
London Observer.
New York Post Confirms "The House That AIDS Built"
Liam Scheff investigated and wrote "The House That AIDS Built" throughout
2003, and web-published it in 2004. In early February, 2004, Douglas Montero,
a columnist for the NY Post, contacted Scheff after reading the article. Soon
after, the Post printed (stole) Scheff's article in a tabloid format rewritten
by Montero, without a single mention of Scheff.
Two days after the intitial Post cover, Scheff was mentioned
in the Post as "a health advocate who investigated ICC and posted his findings
on the internet..."
Scheff is indeed a health advocate, but he is also an investigative
reporter whose previous work on politics, film and HIV/AIDS has been widely
read and praised. Scheff remains hard at work on this and other stories relating
to human, medical and civil rights. If you feel so inclined, please contact
the NY Post, thanking them for covering this important issue, and reminding
them that proper credit should be paid to Scheff and sites like altheal and
aras (the Alberta Reappraising AIDS Society), who had the courage to post
Scheff's story first, and honestly.
