AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire

Rate this book
It is a mistake to think that wars only concern armies involved in active engagement. Nothing is farther from the truth. The real forces of evil wage a financial war. The dark princes of debt finance have gained leverage over every important social, economic, and political institution-including the health care delivery system. In AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire, author Nancy Turner Banks draws the connections between free market strategies, the destruction of national sovereignty by the process of globalization, and AIDS as one of the health consequences of a neo-Darwinian philosophy. Through meticulous research, Banks found a medicalpharmaceutical- industrial complex that was taken over one hundred years ago by the titans of financial capitalism. Their aim was to create profit, not to conquer disease. This book of social history points to a cauldron of historical events that contributed to the HIV/AIDS crisis. AIDS, Opium, Diamonds, and Empire tells the dramatic story of a financial ideology that is damaging to everything that it means to be human. It is the story of profits over people. In the end, it is the story of hope and how we can regain our sanity and our health in a world gone mad.

An incredible work with vast amounts of research gone into it. Exposes the fraud of HIV and most importantly WHY it happened.

Highlights the differences between AIDS in the West as opposed to in Africa as well as the history and precedents tied to globalisation, colonialism and drug trafficking going back centuries, politics and the allopathic medicine con.

This is much more than a book about HIV. There are
lessons to be be learned as there are so many parallels with Covid, not to mention Swine Flu, Bird Flu etc. And not just in the labs. For example look at how many African statesmen have died since the 'pandemic' started, supposedly from Covid. There were calls for John Mugufuli, an 'anti Vax, Covid denier' to be 'reined in'. (See UK Guardian article from Feb 2021.) By March he was dead. Typical of CIA regime change tactics in Congo and other African nations to allow further pillaging of their resources and control over their economy pre AIDS.

This is a good companion to Murder By Injection by Eustace Mullins which sets up how medicine was corrupted by money and politics. An absolute must read for anyone interested in how the industrial medical complex is leading humanity astray.

An incredibly heavy read, will intrigue medical students and anyone with a curiosity of how Aids developed.

Another one of those books that cannot be read just once, I'd like to pick it up again sometime.
