The last speech of Lambros Papantoniou

Complete text of the speech, translated by Maria Papagianndou

I will say just one thing – without entering scientific and medical studies and debates. The so called HIV/AIDS for the first time in history was put on the map with an International Press Conference by Dr. Robert Gallo and the then Health Minister of USA Margaret Heckler (just think of the meaning in English of the name Heckler) during the Reagan administration. According to the makers of the drugs, all AIDS patients are to be put on the lethal medicine for life to cure something that – we shall say it bluntly – does not exist. Toxic, poisonous and lethal drugs that destroy healthy cells are given to healthy people.

That is not our fabrication but that of a man chosen by the USA government to support the HIV/AIDS hypothesis. We are talking about the ex- (we shall explain it later) Coordinator for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, Mark Dybul, a consultant to President Bush, and of his close collaborator Dr. Robert Gallo. I will refer directly to them and to what they have told us up to now, the Buddha and the Tsar of that unspeakable story.

I will present it chronologically:

First episode:

On March 14, 2007, I went to Baltimore and had a meeting with Robert Gallo. I stayed in his office for 7 hours and my comprehensive interview with him was then published almost everywhere. It was on the occasion of Gallo' s appearance on Megaron of Music in Athens on May 3, 2007, and it was fully reported in the newspaper “Eleutheros Typos”.

What happened after:

I received an e-mail from Timothy MacCoy, Gallo's secretary, saying: “Hi Lambros. I was surprised to see your name among signatures of people who doubt the scientific work of Robert Gallo. Can you tell me if that is a mistake?” I answered to him: “What document are you speaking about?” He said, linking to the Rethinking AIDS website: “Lambros, your name was found with others on the web page of people who try night and day to slander the lifelong commitment of Robert Gallo to this issue.” I answered: “Yes, that is my name. I put it there in full awareness because I have never seen that virus which causes the death of so many people. Since you mention it, I would very much appreciate it if I could come to your laboratory and you show me the virus, permitting me to have a scientist of my own choice to explain everything to me. I have no idea of what the others are doing and I do not mean to slander Robert Gallo. On the opposite, I have great esteem for his work and his efforts to find a final therapy. I would like to do whatever is needed to make it clear.”

Then a whole mechanism was set up with the mediation of a Greek-American professor who is an expert in oncology. He made all the arrangements necessary for me to go and see the virus in a specific laboratory in Maryland. Everything was settled, even the photography. But when I said I would like to have a scientist of my own next to me to explain, the whole subject was dismissed. It went to the archives. It never happened.

Second episode:

On November 1st, 2007, the Ambassador Mark R. Dybul, Coordinator for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) offered a special press briefing at the US State Department at which the representatives of American drug companies were present. He presented the latest news on the drugs and generic drugs for the black people of America and Africa. I was the only one who asked questions:

Question: Ambassador Dybul,‘have you see the HIV virus in the laboratory?’

Ambassador Dybul: I've seen -- under a microscope, yes, I've seen photos -- electron micrographs of the virus. Yes.

Question: And where and when?

Ambassador Dybul: Oh, they're all over the place. They're published in virtually every journal. I have a picture of one in my office. [...]

Question: Ambassador Dybul, how do you allow U.S. doctors to prescribe this AIDS (inaudible) medication since they never saw the AIDS virus, as you say that is a part of (inaudible), but only pictures on the internet?

Ambassador Dybul: The reason we can do so is because the evidence is overwhelming that HIV exists. We have pictures. We have budding virus. We have the virus itself. We know what its inner workings look like through crystallography. There's a lot of things you can't see under a microscope that we -- a standard microscope – you have to use high-powered technology.

Some more questions followed...

Third episode:

Later the same day, I received a phone call by the Greek-American professor in contact with Dr. Robert Gallo, who told me that my questions to Dybul were unacceptable, that the drugs are not lethal but beneficial, that Dr Robert Gallo and Dr. John Moore were very much annoyed and that I should apologise to Ambassador Dybul. I answered that whatever I had asked was on my own and I don't care about the rest. I won't apologise to nobody.

I was told that there was already serious talk of withdrawing my accreditation to the State Department and that there was a case formed against me on the State National Defence Department because – I say it in their words - “HIV is a National Defence issue”! whilest another lady who works in the press office of the National Cancer Institution told me that the virus is “classified”, that it is top secret for the safety of America! That Greek doctor, a friend of Robert Gallo, told me he had no choice but to compile a letter about me to Ambassador Dybul. I said “No problem”. He wrote the letter and sent it to me for approval. I sent it back saying that I' m not interested in the case. He may do whatever he likes.

In the interim, that gentleman links to a group of young Greek doctors who have come from Greece and are doing post-graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania in order to create HIV/AIDS schools in various Medical Schools in Greece. There is no doubt that we have here a disgraceful team. If those gentlemen, whose the names I possess, don't give up from that make-believe plot against the Greek people, I will make their names public, as the best way to protect the country's interests is only via publicity.

That gentleman is often visiting Greece at the expense of the American government, that is of the Institute where he works, and has plenty of contacts with the Greek government and with professors of the Greek School of Medicine so that it will be staffed with his people. It is very clear that the same disgraceful team is being formed in Greece too. Professors and students of Medical Schools should be alert not to let those people capture our medical system and undermine our national safety.

Fourth episode:

On January 12, 2009, the ex- minister of Foreign Affairs, Condoleezza Rice, called Ambassador Dybul to inform us about the American President's emergency plan on AIDS. I was there.

Question: As the World Coordinator on AIDS, can you present us with the proof of the concept that HIV cause AIDS?

Answer: No need for me to do so because the scientific world has already done it. There is no question for the scientific community: 25 million people are dead. It is difficult for anyone to disagree with 25 million people. So, we do not need to do so, it exists all around us

Question: Sure, but can you quote a scientific paper?

Answer: There are plenty of them. We don't have to do it, as they are everywhere.

Fifth episode:

On January 28, 2009, the Washington Post reported: “... The day after Barack's Obama swearing in, Dubyl received a phone call by the President who was asking him to quit his position and leave the place before the end of the day...”. Nobody knows why....

Up to that point, President Barack Obama had not made HIV/AIDS a front in his campaign.

We then learn that the 48 billions dollars that Bush had announced as a financial help for the black people of Africa won't be given in cash but in material help: clothes, food and the rest.

Also, President Barack Obama withdrews the 400 millions dollars that were proposed for the prevention of HIV/AIDS, and nobody knows the reason why.
