Ivor Catt, 121 Westfields, St.
Albans AL3 4JR (01727 864257) David and Lois Jenkin cc The Editor, Dear David, I said that The Friend had opened up recently by allowing more freedom in discourse about drug-taking. However, I since realised that this may be just part of the programme within the Society to validate homosexual practices, since these are intimitely linked with drug taking. Poppers are the key drug, which is also closely associated with the onset of AIDS. So when I thought I saw more freedom of communication, I might have really been seeing freedom of communication of an obsolete homophil PC line, which had the celebration of legal, illegal and prescribed drugs as one of its features. We know, and have known for some time, that the earlier homosexual party line is strongly supported in the today's Society of Friends at Friends' Cathedral [Friends House.]. It is heresy in the Society to suggest that lifestyle (including prescribed and non-prescribed drugs) is a contributor to the AIDS problem. Root-Bernstein, in his book on AIDS, cites his own research which found that different homosexual communities with different lifestyles had different levels of incidence of AIDS. He found a correlation bewtween lifestyle and AIDS incidence. Use of poppers (amyl nitrites), which helps to make buggery possible, was a major factor in these differences. I have written to the Editor of The Friend to say that AIDS is a busted flush, and will not break out into the general community. The figures on AIDS incidence can only be massaged so far and for a certain length of time, for instance by re-defining the disease. Use of lethal prescribed drugs, particularly AZT, which is known to create the symptoms of AIDS, (thus giving us an iatrogenic disease,) will increase the deaths for a time, but in the end the deaths caused by these drugs will become obvious and the drugs discredited. An example of the dishonest propaganda for drugs is today's announcement of the relative efficacy of AZT alone compared with a cocktail including AZT. Omission of AZT is not a considered option. HIV positives in New York at present pay $12,000 per year for prescribed AZT, which kills them. Today, it was announced that the cocktail would cost more than straight AZT. (Nobody ever made money out of prescribing nothing for an HIV positive, just talking about lifestyle. Quakers are happy to promote Wellcome's profiteering. After all, Wellcome are next door to the Quaker cathedral.) Quakers lag behind the view of the leaders of the homosexual community, who now argue that lifestyle is what puts homosexuals at risk. As I have always said, today's Quaker trots out, not today's comformist conventional wisdom, but rather the PC view which was current three or more years previously. A true opening up of communication on drugs would be if some of the above material made it into THE FRIEND or other Quaker journals. I predict that none of the above will enter the Quaker Universe of Discourse for another four years, until well after it has become standard PC dogma within the homosexual community. Meanwhile, countless thousands whose only problem is that they are HIV positive, often false positives, will be killed by AZT or its cocktail descendents. Quakers have no intention whatsoever of warning them of the danger from Glaxo/Wellcome, or of allowing anybody else to do so. Quakers are good neighbours, and will remain so even after Wellcome sells its HQ. It is interesting that one source says that the one area of growth in Quaker membership is in the south, and is homosexual. If the latest, biggest American research project is true, which found that the incidence of homosexuality among men was 1% and not 10%, then the Society of Friends is truly ghettoising itself, with a potential male membership limited to only 250,000 in Britain. (Male membership of the Society is one third of total membership.) To stay level in male membership, we would have to attract into membership 3% of homosexuals instead of our current 0.03% of the male heterosexual population! However, the homosexual will probably be unsatisfied if the PC dogma of the Society of Friends remains always many years behind that of their own community leaders.
