Episode 85: Filmmaker Nicole Zwiren Grows Up, Talks Back to ‘AIDS Education’ for the Millennial Generation
Born in 1984, Nicole Zwiren and her classmates received their first “AIDS education” as first graders — six-year-olds. A cute kid just like them, Ryan White, told Oprah Winfrey he was going to die of AIDS, and other kids might die too if they didn’t watch out. So before Nicole could explain the dissident paradigm for beginners in her latest film, HIV: A Whole Different Story, she had to explain it to herself. Is it easier or harder to reverse the effects of a propaganda state if a person has lived inside it all her life?
We hope you’ll be compelled to support Nicole’s post-production costs through the Dana “mindful crowdfunding” community — by 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2014. (Get cool t-shirts, tote bags and CDs/DVDs!)
Comment (1)Episode 64: Thomas Shevory and the Nushawn Williams Lynching
Thomas Shevory is author of the 2004 book, “Notorious HIV: The Media Spectacle of Nushawn Williams.” He gives David and Elizabeth a lot of background on the case and discusses the upcoming civil trial that could see Nushawn, whose sentence expired two years ago, locked up in a mental institution for the rest of his life. Does this shock you? It should . . . especially since the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ) has found there is no evidence that Williams has ever been HIV positive.
Comment (0)Episode 60: Liam Scheff Takes Apart the ‘Official Stories’
What are “official stories,” and why do we believe them? Liam Scheff, a long-time AIDS rethinker and self-described “conspiracy realist,” discusses his book, Official Stories, with HPAY co-host Elizabeth Ely. In the process, he sends up the history and “sex myths” of AIDS, tells of his own hilarious, up-close-and-personal experience with HIV testing, investigates why most people fail to question the official versions of events, and reveals which prominent AIDS researcher is an uncle of his.
Comments (2)Episode 59: Mark Gabrish Conlan on Dangerous Virus or ‘Living With HIV’?
Is “HIV” a dangerous infection you shouldn’t get “complacent” about, or a matter of simply “living with HIV”? How does the medical paradigm reinforce the meanings and stories we give “HIV” — or anything else we call a disease? HEAL-San Diego founder and Zenger’s Newsmagazine publisher Mark Gabrish Conlan takes on the paradoxes of “AIDS” propaganda, giving his unique perspective as a queer community activist since the early 1980s.

Comments (4)Episode 40: Roberto Giraldo, MD
Dr. Roberto Giraldo started investigating immune deficiencies in the mid-1960s as a medical student and was already investigating the mysterious illnesses of some gay men in the 1970s. He understood then that chemical, nutritional and emotional stressors were the cause of these illnesses. When AIDS came along in 1981 he realized immediately that the viral hypothesis was wrong but his colleagues in Colombia were so incensed that they tried to force him into an insane asylum.

Marco Ruggiero is board-certified medical doctor and clinical radiologist with a PhD in molecular biology, currently full professor of molecular biology and genetics at the University of Firenze, Italy where he teaches in the Faculties of Medicine, Sciences (chemistry, biology and biotechnology) and Engineering.

He discusses his background and HIV/AIDS science with David and Terry for an hour.
Comments (9)Episode 32: Dr. David Rasnick
David Rasnick is a PhD biochemist and a long time critic of the HIV=AIDS dogma. He is a member of the board of Rethinking AIDS and was responsible for initiating its revitalization in 2005/6. He graduated from Georgia Tech with his PhD in 1978 based on research into proteases and his career was based on working with these enzymes.

Comments (18)Episode 30: John Lauritsen
If you were to ask about the major critics of the first AIDS drug AZT the guest from Episode 29, Dr. Peter Duesberg, would come to mind, but also this week’s guest John Lauritsen. Before criticizing AZT John was one of the leading members of the gay community warning about the omnipresent “gay” drugs known as Poppers or Amyl Nitrite inhalants. John is a thorough and dogged researcher and his articles for “New York Native” are legendary, especially those that were used in the book, “AZT: Poison by Prescription” (out of print but available online).
