Humans Bred With Monkeys To Create AIDS
Legends of a human-monkey hybrid continue to fire imaginations and inspire mad scientists to recreate the creature as the ultimate warrior. In the Badlands between Pakistan and Afghanistan, humans reportedly armed the hybrids as superwarriors and snipers. According to once source
…militants were arming the primates with AK-47 rifles, machine guns and trench mortars in the Waziristan tribal region bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan, it claimed.
The monkeys soldiers are being turned into snipers at a secret Taliban training base and are in turn being rewarded with ‘bananas and peanuts’.
Christopher Coe, director of the Harlow Primate Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin, questioned the authenticity of the pictures that were carried with the report, showing a primate grinning next to a machine gun.
Coe said the noise of weapon fire would certainly scare most animals. “While you could train a monkey to shoot a gun, I certainly wouldn’t want to be anywhere in the neighbourhood after that. I rather doubt you could trust its aim.” READMOREHERE
While one group of mad scientists continues the quest to find a viable, intelligent hybrid warrior, others continue their efforts to weaponize AIDS. Already, long term projections of the African AIDS forsee destabilization of a massive portion of the continent, with adults dying off, leaving fera, exploitable children behind.
There are more than 10 milllion AIDS orphans in Africa. These orphans are are bereft of both parents and many are not socialized. Millions are being used as child soldiers by exploitative militias. Researchers have identified “… the microsociological problems… including the grief experienced by orphans, the stigma and discrimination they face, and the abuse and exploitation they often experience. “
Over the long range, stigma, abuse and exploitation of AIDS orphans has the potential to create a massive army of unsocialized, feral children whose existence threatens the stability of a large portion of the African continent. According to the UN, the number of AIDS orphans in Africa may well be over 25 million. Thirty percent of the children in sub-Saharan Africa have lost at least one parent to AIDS.
What is often overlooked is the ripple effect the epidemic will have on future governance, social structures and growth of the worst hit countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Dramatically high mortality rates will result in the depletion of much of the labour force, both in urban and rural areas, with the losses having a profound impact on the very foundations of economies and state administration. Undoubtedly, sub-Saharan Africa is not alone in facing this challenge – several countries in Asia are beginning to feel the early impact of the “lost generation” of children orphaned and made vulnerable by AIDS. With the toll of AIDS orphans threatening to reach 25 million by the year 2010, this problem should remain at the centre of attention of all concerned – governments, the public and the media — to stem the spread of this scourge.
