An AIDS Ribbon for Yasser Arafat: HIV, AIDS, AIDS Dementia, Coma and Death

AIDS, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is a life-threatening disease that has become a major public health concern. It is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. HIV progressively destroys the body’s ability to fight infections by damaging the immune system. People with AIDS may get diseases called opportunistic infections, which are caused by viruses or bacteria that usually do not make healthy people sick. Millions have been infected worldwide. There is no vaccine against AIDS and there is no cure.

AIDS is spread by direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. It is most commonly transmitted by having unprotected sex with an infected person. The virus can enter the body through the lining of the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum or mouth. It is also frequently spread by infected IV drug users who share needles and by infected mothers to their children during pregnancy or birth. Also at risk are health care providers and people who received blood transfusions or certain blood products prior to 1985, before donated blood could be screened for the virus.

A few weeks or months after the HIV virus enters the body, the infected person may have swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, diarrhea and recurring fever. These symptoms usually disappear after a week or two. Some people infected with the HIV virus remain free of symptoms for up to 10 years after infection. As the virus multiplies, however, AIDS develops, leaving the person vulnerable to conditions such as pneumonia, hepatitis and certain cancers.

AIDS symptoms include prolonged fatigue and fevers, swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, weight loss, skin lesions, yeast infections, persistent cough and colds, and severe diarrhea. In the later stages, there may be dementia, coma and death.

Medications are available that may slow production of the virus, manage some symptoms and prolong life. Many have substantial side affects, however. Preventing infection with HIV remains the best hope of controlling the spread of AIDS.

Having multiple sexual partners, having sex with someone in a high-risk group or practicing unsafe sex increases the risk of contracting the virus. Anal sex is risky because it may create tears through which the virus can enter the body. Unprotected oral sex is less risky but far from risk-free. Exposure of mucous membranes to or penetration by any objects that carry blood such as razors, pierced earrings, tattoo needles, toothbrushes and dental instruments can result in infection. Although HIV is most often transmitted among people at high risk, any single exposure can result in infection.

It usually takes from one to three months from the time of exposure for HIV antibodies to reach detectable levels in the blood, but it can take as long as six months. People exposed to the virus should get an HIV test as soon as they are likely to develop antibodies, within six weeks to 12 months after possible exposure. Because symptoms may not develop until years after exposure, frequent blood tests are recommended for people at risk.

To reduce the risk of spreading the virus, all HIV-positive people should inform all sex partners and medical and dental personnel who may be exposed to body fluids that they have tested positive for the HIV virus.

Homosexual Arafat said dying of AIDS

Arafat encourages Gaza terrorists to fight

JERUSALEM - Based on the symptoms Yasser Arafat is suffering from, as well as accounts of his rampantly homosexual past, political pundits and medical experts believe the blood-soaked Muslim terror chief is dying from complications related to the AIDS virus.

Arafat has been hospitalized outside of Paris for more than a week with blotchy skin, a low platelet count that is affecting his immune system, decreased mental capacity and a considerable loss of weight – all indicators of the presence of AIDS.

His homosexual tendencies have been attested to by numerous sources, including a now infamous set of surveillance videos taken by his former communist allies in Romania showing Arafat in perverted encounters with his bodyguards.

Though he reportedly slipped into a terminal coma last week, Arafat’s wife is said to be keeping him connected to life support long enough to gain access to the vast wealth he had horded over the years.

“Palestinian” officials in Ramallah suggested his death would be officially announced on Tuesday to coincide with the Muslim holy day of Lailat al-Kader, when, according to Islamic lore, the Koran was given to the Prophet Mohammed.

Israel has stated Arafat would not be allowed burial in Jerusalem or Judea and Samaria, but have granted tacit approval to inter the “father of modern terrorism” in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia and former premier Mahmoud Abbas work to secure their positions atop the “Palestinian” power structure by seeking unity with terror groups such as Hamas.

Arafat, however, has reportedly named openly anti-Israel PLO official Farouk Kadoumi as his successor.

All signs point to AIDS

"We know [Arafat] has a blood disease that is depressing his immune system. We know that he has suddenly dropped considerable weight - possibly as much as one-third of all his body weight. We know that he is suffering intermittent mental dysfunction. What does this sound like?” Israel Insider quoted former White House speechwriter David Frum as asking.

Writing for National Review Online, Frum blasted the mainstream media for their “bias” in refusing to question whether or not Arafat was infected with the killer disease.

Frum is only the latest of a growing number of political pundits and medical experts that have speculated Arafat is dying from the AIDS virus.

Intelligence analyst John Loftus told ABC News last month that the CIA had known for years Arafat was infected with AIDS, and it was largely due to this fact Washington had urged Israel not to eliminate him.

“It was deemed better to have Arafat discredited as a homosexual,” Loftus said.

Israel Insider notes that while “homosexuality is rife in the Arab world, it is at least officially consider a sin and a crime, and regarded - especially in fundamentalist circles - as a mark of great shame and depravity.”

Roaring tiger

Allegations regarding Arafat’s homosexuality have been fueled primarily by evidence provided by his former communist allies in Romania.

During the 1970’s and 1980’s, Arafat was a regular in Nicolae Ceausescu’s Bucharest, where Romanian intelligence and its KGB overlords were providing the PLO with the means to gain legitimacy in the West.

Little did Arafat know that Lt.-Gen. Ion Pacepa, the deputy chief of Romania's intelligence service, had rigged his guest suites with surveillance equipment.

In his book “Red Horizons”, Pacepa unveils Arafat as an insatiable homosexual by recalling a telephone conversation with Constantin Munteaunu, a general assigned to the PLO.

"I just called the microphone monitoring center to ask about the 'Fedayee,'" Arafat's code name, explained Munteaunu. "After the meeting with the Comrade, he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. At this very moment, the 'Fedayee' is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He's playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena."

Pacepa wrote that after reading the full intelligence reports, “I felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever I had been kissed by Arafat, or even just shaken his hand."
