Former White House speechwriter David Frum has joined the growing chorus of pundits, medical experts, and intelligence operatives who claim Yasser Arafat is likely suffering from AIDS.
Frum, a key figure in Republican politics and the man who coined the terms "axis of evil," writes in National Review Online that Arafat's undisclosed illness is well-known, but has been kept under wraps by the mainstream media.
"Speaking of media bias, here's a question you won't hear in our big papers or on network TV: Does Yasser Arafat have AIDS?" asks Frum, who also writes for the National Post.
"We know he 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?"
Intelligence on "the tiger" romping with bodyguards Frum pointed to KGB evidence linking Arafat to homosexual activities between the 1960s and 1980s. He cites a 1987 book by Lt.-Gen. Ion Pacepa, the deputy chief of Romania's intelligence service under Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. In his memoirs Red Horizons, Lt.-Gen. Pacepa claims Mr. Arafat's extensive KGB file revealed him as a voracious and profligate homosexual. He said Romanian agents had taped Mr. Arafat's sex sessions with his bodyguards in Bucharest in 1978.
In "Red Horizons," Pacepa relates a conversation with Constantin Munteaunu, a general assigned to teach Arafat and the Palestinian Liberation Organization operations in deception and influence designed to fool the West into granting the organization recognition.
"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."
Munteaunu continued: "I've never before seen so much cleverness, blood and filth all together in one man." Munteaunu, wrote Pacepa, spent months pulling together secret reports from Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian intelligence agencies as well as Romanian files.
"I used to think I knew just about everything there was to know about Rahman al-Qudwa," Arafat's real name, "about the construction engineer who made a fortune in Kuwait, about the passionate collector of racing cars, about Abu Amman," Arafat's nom de guerre, "and about my friend Yasser, with all his hysterics," explained Munteaunu, handing Pacepa his final report on the PLO leader. "But I've got to admit that I didn't really know anything about him."
Pacepa wrote: "The report was indeed an incredible account of fanaticism, of devotion to his cause, of tangled oriental political maneuvers, of lies, of embezzled PLO funds deposited in Swiss banks, and of homosexual relationships, beginning with his teacher when he was a teen-ager and ending with his current bodyguards. After reading the report, I felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever I had been kissed by Arafat, or even just shaken his hand."
"If true, Arafat would have a great deal to conceal from his people and his murderously anti-homosexual supporters in the Islamic world," writes Frum, suggesting that Arafat was airlifted to France for medical treatment because he "could trust the French to protect his intimate secret."
Earlier, John Loftus told John Batchelor on ABC radio on October 26 that Arafat is dying from AIDS. Loftus said the CIA has known this about Arafat for quite awhile and that as a result the US has encouraged Sharon not to take Arafat out because the US has known Arafat was about done. It was deemed better to have Arafat discredited as a homosexual.
Although 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.
The medical evidence adds up Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath Monday said that all types of cancer had been ruled out, and the latest news is that French doctors have ruled out poisoning.
Medical observers note that a low blood platelet count is a sign of a weakened immune system, and indeed last week there were reports of a complete collapse of Arafat's immune system. Other than the ruled-out cancer, the low count could be attributed to bleeding ulcers, colitis, liver disease, lupus, or HIV. It is believed that ulcers and colitis have already been ruled out.
Arafat has lost a considerable amount of body weight. Hopital d'Instruction des Armees de Percy, southwest of Paris, is known to have some of France's best HIV/AIDS doctors. Other medical experts note that Arafat's activities in recent weeks and months suggest the dementia that accompanies late-stage AIDS.
Medical authorities not connected directly to his case are suggesting that he may have HIV/AIDS. One doctor reported to an Israel Insider source that his suspicions have been growing for more than a year.
"I began to see tell tale signs of kaposis sarcoma. His Parkinsonian tremor was more than just a Parkinsonian tremor and he was also showing signs of weakness. The rumor about homosexuality/bisexuality has been around for decades. So I put two and two together when they started talking about his health over a year ago. The talk of a mysterious illness in this day and age should be a tip-off. He has some of the best physicians in the world attending to him. He can be diagnosed clinically, without perfoming any tests. All the doctors surrounding him know what he has. All this cloak and dagger about tests is a ruse. They understand the implications of divulging that he has HIV. If I were Suha I would be getting a little concerned."
If Arafat has AIDS, that would also explain Suha's reticence to allow the release of significant information about Arafat's condition, and the almost ludicrously tight-lipped reports of the French hospital spokesman, and the refusal of anyone connected with Arafat to hold a press conference in recent days.
Remember?...he was donating blood to show his concern for the 9/11 victims,he was on camera making a big show.
No idea. And I don't absolutely know that homosexuality is more prevalent in Arab countries, only that there is a long running reputation for sex with boys.
Also, AIDS and AIDS reporting are not easy to understand. It's been suggested that AIDS in Africa has been vastly overstated, for instance, presumably in hopes of receiving more aid money, while it's possible that AIDS in the Arab countries has been hidden or understated for religious and political reasons.
AIDS such a loaded, controversial, politicized subject that it's hard to know what evidence to believe.
I have to assume they have adequate screening in place. Still, that's quite a scum-bag-ly thing to do.
What ever happened to that pint of blood he gave after 9-11?
He mad a big showing of it for the news cameras.
"Yasser Arafat came into this world on August 27, 1929, in Cairo. He was born Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Rauf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini. His maternal grandfather was Mahmoud al-Husseini, cousin to Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem--confidant of Adolf Hitler & a Nazi collaborator during World War II. He was Arafat's "mentor & guide." Arafat avoids mention of his full name as it reveals his blood relationship to the former, virulently anti-Semitic Grand Mufti. Arafat took the name Yasser in memory of Yasser al-Birah, a leader of the Grand Mufti's reign of terror in the 1930s. --Acquaintances of Arafat in his youth describe him as "fanatical, ruthless, & particularly brutal." Arafat was 20 years old when he committed his first murder. He shot an innocent Palestinian living in Cairo--Rork Hamid. A former friend of Arafat recalls: 'The shooting of the Hamid boy put an end to any temptations we might have had not to take him {Arafat} seriously. It was like an initiation rite for him...after that our guerrilla activities became a deadly serious business.' --Another former friend of Arafat relates the following: 'There was a student whose parents had sent him out of Palestine in the '48 war to live with relatives in Cairo. When the war ended...the Israelis would not allow the boy to return to his parents...He had no sense of himself, but would follow the lead of anyone who showed any friendliness towards him. Yasser had recruited him...He worshipped Yasser. --'Then--oh, a year later--Yasser discovered the boy's parents were living in Israel {and} were apparently satisfied there. Yasser tried to get the boy to publicly denounce his parents. The boy would have done just about anything for Yasser. But this! This he could not do. --'Yasser...really loved the boy. He was delicate, sensitive, a flower. He was very much a part of Yasser's inner circle--four or five boys who lived in the same place &, well, you can imagine what I mean. And what did Yasser do? --'There was another boy--we used to call him The Scimitar--who came from Bedouin people. He was totally ruthless. Yasser...pointed to the boy, he said, 'My heart aches for Ahmed...'. It was very dramatic. And then he said 'But my Arab brother Ahmed cannot bring himself to be a true feday {terrorist}, so he must be taught. --'Thereupon the boy we called The Scimitar appeared with a knife...The Scimitar proceeded to castrate the boy. The next day the boy was dead. He had killed himself,'"(Taken from the book, Philistine{The Great Deception} by Ramon Bennett, pgs. 69-71. --Arafat has been at this for a very long time. The last photo I saw of him, it looked like he had purplish spotting around his mouth, which looks like Kaposi's Sarcoma, a cancer associated with Aids. --By the way, the name Fatah is the reversed letters of the Arabic word Hataf, meaning, "sudden death."
Now 'buggery'... that's a whole different deal.
Posted your vid to Drudge. You may want to email a copy to him so that he can host it himself. This rumor is starting to get legs.
Homosexuality prevelant in the Arab world?
Does that mean a lot of them do it with male goats rather than female goats?
Which is why it is so frustrating that people believe that terrorists hate us because of our obscene culture. What a crock. They are drug using, pornography watching homosexuals.
The best thing he could do at this point would be to die and NOT pass on the account number keys to the billions.

Of course it's AIDS.
That is what every shirt-lifting, turd-burgling, little-boy-buggaring bastard like him dies of.
Consequences always was and always will be my all-time favorite word.
it's been reported that one of the post heart surgery complications that Clinton is suffering from is a 'blood disease'.
I don't care what it is, as long as it's painful.
I trust the info in the source on this thread (Israel Insider) more than your friend's socialist/leftist source.
Well, Suha has kept her distance all these years.
Arafat's homosexuality has been known for decades, even within the PLO leadership. The AIDS diagnosis may be what kept Suha from further intimacies after she bore his child.
I got it off another site - and it was old. I wonder why this isn't getting more MSM attention.
He's still dead.
