I wanted to do two things:

1. Publish Mark’s foreword.

  1. Tell you how I feel about this book coming out again and how it will affect the Substack. I wanted to be 100% transparent. BUT—I made a mistake. I realized it was two pieces, not one. So bear with me, here is Mark’s foreword.

    I’ll take down, and republish the notes about the book’s coming into being, later. Sorry for the flurry of emails. I’m trying to get this right, strike a balance.

    ”When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”

    Note: Bill Perkins sent me the text of Mark’s foreword, finding my cobbled screenshots a “dog’s dinner.” I appreciated it and replaced the screenshots with more easily readable text, here, leaving the screen shots also though, for graphics. —CF


        Foreword

    When Celia Farber wrote the articles comprising this "uncensored

    history of AIDS," she did not know, nor could she have imagined, that

    she was also writing an essential pre-history of the catastrophic sequel

    yet to come. There are, of course, already many books about the COVID

    crisis, and there will certainly be many more, but any thorough

    bibliography on "the coronavirus" and its myriad disastrous consequences

    must include this peerless book about HIV/AIDS-a dress rehearsal for the

    notional "pandemic" that premiered in January 2020 and that's still

    simmering (with no end in sight).

        Although it came as a big shock to We the Viewers, believing, as so

    many did, the propaganda line that SARS-Co V-2 had leapt scarily from

    bats to humans-"COVID-19" was a movie that we'd seen before, as this

    book should make clear to those who weren't around when it first played

    back in the eighties, or who were, but couldn't see its flaws (because

    the media would not report them, or talk to anyone who grasped them).

    Back then, as an intrepid young reporter for Spin, Farber was the only

    journalist, aside from some few allies in the gay press, to dig into the

    science (or "science") of AIDS and to discuss it with those fighting on

    both sides of the fierce struggle over its direction. While the majority

    of journalists (or "journalists") sat reverently at Dr. Fauci's feet and

    parroted his terroristic line on HIV (which made NAIAD, his agency, a

    fortune, and him the very "God of public health) Farber noted that the

    HIV/ AIDS thesis was, in the United States, wholly based on the

    bombastic say-so of Dr. Robert Gallo. Well-informed by searching

    conversations with (real) scientists like Dr. Peter Duesberg, Farber

    realized, and reported, that there was apparently -no evidence- that HIV

    causes AIDS, whereas there was much evidence that HIV does not cause

    AIDS: evidence that was ferociously suppressed, while those seeking to

    pursue it - Dr. Duesberg above ail - were maliciously attacked and (as

    we now say) cancelled.

        Thus Farber was a lucid and courageous witness of the power-play behind

    the first "scamdemic," which in many ways foretold the one that has now

    largely wrecked the world. That terrifying fabrication of the sure

    lethality of HIV, despite the evidence disproving it, foretold the

    terrifying exaggeration of the threat posed by SARS-CoV-2, despite the

    evidence that it was no more lethal than the 'flu, a mortal danger only

    to the old and very sick - evidence that was also dangerous to mention

    (although Dr. Fauci, early on, affirmed confusingly, that SARS-CoV-2 was

    no more lethal than the 'flu).

        Moreover, what made HIV so very frightening was its devilish

    invisibility, since it "spread" asymptomatically, so you couldn't know

    you 'had it" unless a PCR test found you "positive," in which case you

    were doomed. As Farber learned from an infuriated Kary Mullis, the

    inventor of PCR technology (for which he won a Nobel Prize), that test

    should not be used for diagnostic purposes, yet Fauci was then using it,

    strategically, to pump up the number of the doomed. Thus Fauci's HIV/

    AIDS myth anticipated the mythology of COVID, whose rapid "spread" was

    also undetectable except by PCR, the test itself creating COVID "cases"

    by the million, out of thin air.

        The terrifying "spread" of HIV was also (seemingly) affirmed by a

    certain diagnostic promiscuity, as all the millions allegedly "living

    with HIV/AIDS worldwide included many who just -maybe- "had it," or

    looked like they did.

        On the harrowing UNAIDS statistics released in 1987, Farber notes that

    they "represent the organization's estimate of the number of people

    presumed to be infected with HIV" - a clear precursor to the millions

    stricken (presumably) with "presumed COVID-19." HIV's ever-spiking toll,

    or relentless "spread," was inflated further by the frequent

    misdiagnosis of deaths from other illnesses as "AIDS deaths," as Farber

    found in Africa, where she went in search of evidence that AIDS was

    wiping out the continent, as asserted, with neo-colonial zeal, by the

    AIDS-industrial complex. In a Ugandan village overrun by heavily funded

    western AIDS-fighters, Farber learned that the people there now called

    all deaths-from malaria or any other illness-"AIDS deaths." (AIDS "is a

    formula for everything here," one villager said wearily.)

    That African phenomenon foretold the global plague of bogus diagnoses,

    whereby deaths caused by 'flu, pneumonia, heart attack, and even

    motorcycle accidents were written up as "COVID deaths" - as were

    countless others who had "tested positive" but clearly died of other

    co-morbidities.

        So much for the terroristic fakery (some might say wizardry) behind the

    two "scamdemics."

        What of the social, cultural, and medical effects of all that fear back

    then ? Fauci brought the fear to a high boil by inventing what he called

    the "heterosexual spread" of AIDS - a myth without a shred of evidence

    behind it.

        Yet it was, at once, hysterically affirmed as "scientific" truth by the

    relentless fear-pornographers of "our free press," who thereby helped

    make sexual union seem as dangerous as chain-smoking or Russian

    roulette, so that people now refrained from passionate encounters,

    eyeing potential partners warily, and refusing to embrace without the

    latex armor of "safe sex." That new fear in the sexual realm foretold

    the universal madness of mask mandates and "social distancing," whereby

    millions now avoided not just casual sex, but one another, on the

    crackpot premise that society itself is dangerous. And yet there was -

    and is - a consequence of Fauci's devilry far more grave than that

    misanthropic creed of "staying safe." As Farber tried to tell the world

    back then, the purpose of the HIV/AIDS propaganda drive was not to save

    gay lives, or any lives. On the contrary, the purpose of arousing, and

    maintaining, all that panic over HIV was to make people desperate to

    take AZT - a "cure" far deadlier than that "virus", and one that slowly

    killed some 300,OO0 gay men, including Rudolf Nureyev, Keith Haring,

    Freddie Mercury, and others whose death-agonies were misreported

    mawkishly as -caused by AIDS-. If Farber's reportage had received the

    hearing it deserved and moved other journalists [...missing text...].

        Celia Farber's work is journalism at its best: solid, lucid, and

    humane, attacking wrongs that few dare touch, and thereby helping right

    them, and doing so with uncommon literary grace (and flashes of a

    devastating humor). For this she should have won professional rewards

    and been exalted as a journalistic luminary. And yet, so mighty are the

    figures whose wrongdoing she exposed, and so corrupt is journalism in

    their world, that Farber was not hailed but trashed for her

    accomplishment, while Fauci is a multimillionaire, and widely deemed a

    saint, despite the evil he has done. With "Serious Adverse Events"

    now back in print, it should be possible, at last, to remedy that dual

    injustice.”

I'm going to get the book and read it myself instead of just reading a few short excerpts in RFK, Jr.'s book on Fauci. Mark Crispin Miller wrote the perfect foreword. He's become an indispensable writer with his Covid reports.

Good luck with the re-issue! The book ought to have even more interest today.

Celia ~ just read your email, and am crying ... messy, 'ugly' (as they say), good, cleansing tears. Thank you for your candor in the email. There's a lot I want to say but much of it will have to wait. For now, I am thrilled knowing that your book will arrive direct from Chelsea Green sometime in late March or early April. I am delighted to be one of many allies in promoting your book before and after it is published. I am glad you are alive to see this re-issue, and I am sorry that some of your colleagues aren't (I'm sure they're aware of it, nonetheless). Thank you for staying golden in such a dark time. Lots of love, much appreciation, and congratulations.
