Gonorrhea: The New AIDS

A few weeks ago, the news wires picked up a story concerning the discovery of a gonorrhea super-bug that is resistant to most forms of antibiotics. The headlines screamed: “Worse Than AIDS.” Almost immediately, the CDC was quick to respond: stating that the deadly strain had not been detected in the US. Yet! Right way, I am reminded of the early reports, when I was a kid, on the emergence of a new “gay cancer.” It hadn’t been designated AIDS yet. The news reporters said that the disease was localized in gay male populations and among Haitians. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now, 30 years later, and after the death of millions, we know the truth.

Since 1986, the United States Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP) has been monitoring antibiotic resistance to gonorrhea. According to GISP, by 2010, 27% of all of the gonorrhea samples were resistant to penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin, or some combination of these drugs. By 2010, 27% of all gonorrhea tested was resistant to three major antibiotics or some combination of these drugs. Cefixime, an oral cephalosporin antibiotic (cephalosporins are a sub-group of beta-lactam antibiotics, like carbapenems) was the recommended antibiotic for gonorrhea treatment, until gonorrhea began to develop resistance that drug too. In 2012, the CDC updated its treatment guidelines and now recommends an injectable cephalosporin, called ceftriaxone, along with azithromycin or doxycycline, instead of oral cephalosporins. Combination therapies (meaning more than one antibiotic) provide almost a one-two punch against these bacteria—so the hope is that this remains effective. But cephalosporins are our last line of antibiotic defense against gonorrhea. As authors wrote in 2012 in a piece in the New England Journal of Medicine, it is now “time to sound the alarm.” Simply put, the outlook is not good. In 2011, doctors from Japan published a case study revealing that gonorrhea was acquiring even more resistance—this time, to injectable ceftriaxone. Since then, samples of ceftriaxone-resistant gonorrhea have been detected in France and Spain, too, reports the CDC.

*Authors Note: About 20 years ago, I caught this disease. It was pure agony. At the time, I was mentally deranged; therefore I didn’t take very good care of myself. When I finally visited a physician, I had been sick for at least a few months. It took several courses of different antibiotics to eventually rid my body of the infection. While on the medication, I was constantly in pain, couldn’t stop having diarrhea, and lost a lot of weight. Now, it all reminds me of what a dear friend said to me, while he was dying with AIDS: “It wasn’t worth it.”

The Death of the Boy Scouts: Homosexuality, Coming-out, and HIV

Bowing to political pressure, the Boy Scouts of America will now accept openly gay boys into the ranks; although homosexual adult leaders are still forbidden. This misguided move of the BSA points directly to the increasingly troubling phenomena of pre-pubescent, and teenage boys “coming-out” as homosexuals. As someone who once went through much of the same issues as these troubled boys are now facing, the teenage years, when our bodies are flooded with mind-altering hormones, is no time to make any far-reaching important decisions; especially one that might take your life. For the gay world is not the sexual nirvana that the homosexual lobbyists and complicit media would like our children to believe. Just look at the facts:

In what is reportedly the first systematic review and analysis of suicidality and depressive symptoms in sexual minority youth (SMY), a large meta-analysis conducted by investigators at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania showed 28% of gay teens reported a history of suicidality compared with 12% of heterosexual teens.

The data, presented at CDC's 2010 National STD Prevention Conference, finds that the rate of new HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men (MSM) is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women. The rate of primary and secondary syphilis among MSM is more than 46 times that of other men and more than 71 times that of women.

By the BSA allowing the the inclusion of boy scouts who have publicly come-out they are sanctifying this deadly practice of children being funneled into gay culture; and therefore opening them up to sexual abuse and exploitation by older men; which, in turn, make them incredibly susceptible to mental disorders and disease. Because, after all, these are children, and the Boy Scouts are giving kids the license to give-in to a sexual dysfunction, to give-in to their brokenness. In my estimation, this makes the BSA nothing more than a recruiting station for swelling the ranks of the gay population. If they truly cared about the youth, they would refer every boy that exhibited same-sex attractions or gender identity disorders to a professional mental health counselor or design a program, as recommended by Dr. James Dobson, Fr. John Harvey, and Dr. Joseph Nicolosi. Today, they have condemned these boys to a life of deluded happiness and eventual sickness and death.

Post Office to Issue Harvey Milk Stamp: In Celebration of Brokenness and Abuse

In 2014, news sources have revealed that, the US Post Office will print a stamp featuring the late gay activist Harvey Milk. This is after a rather loud campaign by homosexual lobbyists for the stamp, which gained over 10,000 signatures on the web-site change.org. Sadly, what we know about Milk has been completely filtered by the gay guardians of his image in the homosexual community and by the complicit media. The best source is the book “The Mayor of Castro Street” by Randy Shilts. In his biography of Milk, Shilts describes the early molestations of the future politician by older men at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. By the time he was 15, already sexually active, Milk started visiting the notorious gay cruising spots on nearby Fire Island. Later on in life, Milk had a series of relationships with younger men who all came from horrific backgrounds: boyfriend Joe Campbell started out as a male hustler at the age of 9; another boyfriend Craig Rodwell was molested in his all-boys school, then became a prostitute by age 14; the tragic Jack McKinley, who was 16 when he started a sexual relationship with the 33-year old Milk, committed suicide after years of drugs abuse and mental illness; his last lover, Scott Smith, who was 19-years Milk's junior, later became HIV+ and died of pneumonia at age 46.

In truth, the story of Milk, and those around him, is a truly sad one; not the tale of courage and triumph that the media likes to spin. For the most part, Milk and his associates, were the adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. It tainted the rest of their lives. The ability to later make healthy and sane choices was taken away from them by the older males who molested them. At the time, the burgeoning gay community offered a place of insular protection and acceptance. But, it also was a deep pit of unfulfilled promises. What the gay world, and their straight cohorts, are openly celebrating is the restless wanderings of wounded and broken men: in their tragic search for healing and happiness. It's all for political power. The following excerpt is from a California Teacher's Guide on how to implement lessons surrounding Harvey Milk Day. The ambitions are naked and completely lacking of any subtlety:

The other interesting thing that I have noticed about these conversations-well, there are lots of interesting things really, but one - is that they want to know a lot about Joe Campbell and Scott Smith. Usually I have a picture or two ready to show them. Just like I had a picture or two of Coretta Scott King for MLK, as people who supported these leaders. For Milk, though, this leads to a conversation about marriage and gay marriage. In the past, this has been something that the kids have felt really strongly about and have wanted to or actually written letters to Congress, etc. regarding gay marriage initiatives. That, then, becomes their social action project - It's really neat and organic, really comes from the kids. (Source: www.harveymilkstory.com)

America's Sweetheart Jennifer Aniston Promotes Porn

American actress Jennifer Aniston, an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, who ranks among the top 10 paid celebrities in Hollywood, and frequently appears on various lists of the “most beautiful people,” still felt it necessary to perform a pornographic striptease in her latest film: “We're the Millers.” The stills from the film, that I saw, were completely horrendous. Frankly, I do not understand what she is trying to do: throw-off her clean image from “Friends?” Or, perhaps, the pornographic fantasy has become so ingrained in our culture, that it is no longer taboo. Back in 1963, when Jayne Mansfield became the first main-stream actress to appear partially-naked in a major film; that decision effectively ruined her career forever. Later in the 1960s and early-1970s, other famous actresses tried to restore some of the luster in their fading star-power by appearing in a soft-core sex romps or in Playboy; here, I am thinking of Brigitte Bardot, Farrah, and Mamie Van Doren; among others. Then, it was a sign of desperation. A hopeless plea for publicity and attention. Today, it is a false form of liberation. A-list actresses take it all off, and get paid and applauded. The audiences have changed. What was once a stag-film, is a now multi-plex blockbuster. We have accepted deviance. We have no one else to blame, but ourselves.  

STD Rates on the Rise; Especially Among Teens

Gonorhea Rates

Divorce Rates

Cohabitation Rates

The CDC estimates that there are more than 19.7 million new STIs (STDs) in the United States each year in a new study published in February of 2013. The study noted that some of these new STIs are prevalent, which means that they do not go away by themselves, they last for a lifetime. The study also stated that “Young people (ages 15-24) are particularly affected, accounting for half (50%) of all new STIs, although they represent just 25% of the sexually experienced population.” An Italian study, published in 2012, explains the reasons for the high rates of STDs among young people. “Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are increasing worldwide, mostly due to changing sexual behaviors (larger numbers of sexual partners, concurrent relationships, increasing proportion of adolescents engaging in sexual intercourse at young age, and inconsistent condom use with new partners.” (Giornale italiano di dermatologia e venereologia)

This dramatic increase in the amount of people infected with STDs, not coincidentally, coincided with the rise of the divorce rate, and those who chose to cohabitate. Also, the introduction of “the pill” and the legalization of abortion made it much easier for everyone, of both sexes, to be sexually irresponsible. Furthermore, the social and economic conditions of the 1960s and 1970s: the rise of the baby-boomers, the emergence and acceptance of women’s and homosexual liberation; the popularity of mass-produced pornography; created the perfect conditions in which sexual promiscuity and experimentation could thrive. Now, we are all living with the results: disease, abortion, suicide, drug abuse, clinical depression. But, this does not fully explain the fall of Western morality. What does? How did the world go from dates at the ice-cream parlor and drive-ins to flavored condoms and sexting? Down to this very day, the amount of people who regularly attend church services has steadily declined. The lesson: Try to live without God; you end up living in Hell.

As Gay-Marriage Wins More Victories: Gay Men Continue to Die

As reported in The San Francisco Examiner: Infection rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis among San Francisco residents have been steadily rising since 2007, according to the Department of Public Health. Instances of chlamydia have increased nearly 20% over the last five years – from 500 cases per 100,000 people in San Francisco in 2007 to just under 600 cases in 2012. New cases of syphilis have more than doubled during that time frame, from 40 cases per 100,000 people to over 105 in 2012, according to statistics presented by the health department. The biggest increase of new sexually-transmitted disease infection is among men who have sex with men.

I find this report incredibly sad and ironic, as the gay political lobbyists and gay-marriage pushers are succeeding in remaking the image of the homosexual: as victims of an antiquated form of bigotry; as 1950’s family sitcom throwbacks; and as domesticated couples living in some Martha Stewart state of suburban bliss. (The above picture from a featured story in The Advocate is a penultimate example.) All are lies, or at best, gross exaggerations. The facts are irrefutable, gay men, even in the most accepting and liberal city in the world, continue to engage in very risky sexual behaviors, become infected by incurable diseases, and die in agony. Why? Because the real reason for the restless unhappiness in the gay community has never been fully addressed in public: the deep inner wounds of childhood which cast a shadow over every homosexual, and unconsciously drives their need for an all-encompassing experience of love and acceptance. Gay-marriage will solve nothing. Only Our Lord Jesus Christ can bring peace to the afflicted.

 

The Obama Scandals, Gay-Marriage, and the Rise of Neo-Fascism

I was surprised by the strange indignation flung at the Obama White House by conservative-leaning television and radio commentators; for the daily workings within the Obama administration are just the usual day to day machinations, gang warfare, and dirty deals which make up every liberal political and or social organization. When I was heavily involved with radical, anarchist, socialist, gay liberation groups at UC Berkeley, they all pretty much functioned in the same manner: a singular agenda, a group-think mentality, and an intense hatred for those in the opposition. I recall very well, being at a meeting of different groups wanting to protest the First Gulf War back in the early 1990s. There was a gay contingent there, which I was a part of. As the meeting dragged on, the rhetoric became more and more pro-PLO, Arab terrorism, and anti-America. At one point, I had had enough. I said, especially looking at the gay people in the room, I said something like: “These people in the Middle East want to put you in a sack and throw you alive off a cliff.” I got resoundingly booed and hissed down. I was finished.

This brings me to the current push by gay lobbyists and political operatives for same-sex marriage; and, this decision one day they will all regret. The contemporary situation reminds me of the late-Roman Republic, Pre-Revolutionary France, and the Wiemar Republic; all times of great decadence, moral ambiguity, and weak and ineffectual leaders. The pressing atmosphere, in all of the mentioned historical periods, neatly set up the rise of Fascist oligarchies. Over the past several months, there have been several gay-bashings, and even a gay-murder, in liberalized New York City. And, a well-known French historian shot himself in front of the altar inside Notre Dame Cathedral; in protest of the current legalization of same-sex marriage in France. This all bodes not well for the gay populus. For, I think the modern progressive campaign for reworking society and the family, will only result in an equally aggressive thrust back. We are now seeing it with the rise of Obama scandals that reek of thuggery, maliciousness, and an iron-heel attitude towards the citizenry. By throwing-in all their support behind Obama, the gay community comes off looking just as mean-spirited and intolerant. In turn, they will be hated.
