“In response, the administration of President Calvin Coolidge ordered industry to add higher levels of more difficult-to-remove poisons to their alcohol, including acetone, benzene, cadmium, camphor, carbolic acid, chloroform, ether, formaldehyde, gasoline, iodine, kerosene, methyl alcohol, mercury salts, nicotine, quinine and zinc. Shortly after the institution of this campaign, 31 people were poisoned to death over the course of the Christmas holiday in New York City alone. Historians estimate that a total of 10,000 people were killed by the program before Prohibition ended in 1933.”
Wow
Slate has an article on it, here.

This made the rounds on reddit a while back. People actually tried to justify it, made me sick.
Around the 60’s & 70’s, the US government also tested chemical and biological delivery systems in operations throughout all 50 states, so this shouldn’t be surprising.

My doctor told me the other day that AIDS is a man-made virus that was part of a germ warfare program. An isolated village in Africa was treated as an experimental group, and infected with AIDS so the effects of the disease could be observed. This was accomplished by inserting the virus into the smallpox vaccine given to the villagers. Unfortunately, the leaders of the “experiment” didn’t take into consideration the mosquitoes, which spread the disease across the continent.
He recommonded this video, which I have not watched yet in its entirety.
He also told me that the polio vaccine was contaminated with a virus called SV40 because the primate kidney cells used to make the vaccine were infected. Thanks to the virus, many people who received the vaccine got cancer 10 or so years later.
“AIDS is a man-made virus”
AIDS is not a virus.
“Unfortunately, the leaders of the “experiment” didn’t take into consideration the mosquitoes, which spread the disease across the continent.”
The HIV is not retained within mosquito saliva, since it is unable to survive long to reproduce and infect its salvary glands. This is not even the tip of the iceberg considering the HIV mosquito myth.
Hooray for the armchair doctor at the decadent Mises forums!
Technically, HIV can’t survive in anything since it is a virus and as such, non-living.

Sorry. I was just trying to communicate what my doctor told me because I thought others would be interested, and it seemed to fit the theme of this thread. I should have said “HIV is a man-made virus” or “AIDS is caused by a man-made virus.” I provided a link to the Strecker Memorandum video, in which Dr. Robert B. Strecker actually spells out the evidence that AIDS is a man-made disease. I would appreciate your thoughts on the video.
At least no one here is denying that HIV causes AIDS. That’s the progress
Well… I guess I’m going to have to change my avatar, huh?
Dang it, Coolidge, you were the only 20th century president I liked.
Aids/HIV is a retrovirus, which means it changes the genetic code.
Never was government policy. Typically things that happened in 1926 track back to… 1926, not February 19th, 2010, which is actually as far back as this whole story goes back to besides something on Doc Share which is from 2009 so besides that their all copies of her crap.
Also, industrial alcohols have to be a denatured(smart for poisoned) to not be considered a industrial alcohol therefore not covered by the sin tax.
