HIV CURE DISCOVERED BY DOCTOR WHO CREATED IT

Over 40 years after AIDS has killed millions of people across the world, a top doctor pointedly fingered for creating HIV in the early 1970s, Robert Gallo has come out now saying he has discovered the vaccine.

Dr. Robert Gallo, this week described his breakthrough vaccine as “just another protein” but different than anything that has been tried before.

He also exuberantly labelled it “the beginning of the beginnings”. 
Gallo was exposed in a previous ZimEye article after having been confronted on live video for his alleged role in embarking on biological warfare intended to wipe out black people as well as gay men in the 1970s. 

This time Gallo has announced he is beginning the first human trials of his suddenly discovered HIV vaccine.

He described the vaccine as “just a protein” but different than anything that has been tried before. 

It’s designed to induce a new kind of antibody to target infection right at the start, since the AIDS virus integrates within one day into human genes, and it becomes part of DNA in 24-36 hours. 

Gallo said it has taken nine years to get to this stage. The goal of the first phase is to prove his belief that the vaccine is safe. 

“I think it’s very interesting and important to see how we do in man in the first phases and the second phases, but we know it’s the beginning of the beginning,” Gallo said. “I’d feel a eureka moment, an exciting moment, if I knew it works. You know, we have a way to go to know these things.” 

Phase one has started enrolling volunteers, 60 of which are needed. Twenty people will get this vaccine candidate, and Gallo said the first person will be injected by the end of this month. 

Phase two involves linking up with other people’s vaccines, Gallo said, in the hope of finding a “one-two punch” that really does the trick.

WORLD WAR III LOOMS

China joins Russia aerial bombardments in Syria in the fight against ISIS.

Obviously, this leaves the United States and allies sharply divided on their parallel foreign  policies in the region. China and Russia's involvement in this war has strengthened the Assad regime fighters and government who the US and its allies want to oust out of office for allegedly waging war on his own people.

China has already warned that World War III is inevitable unless the US backs down.

A suicide bomber:
*Wears loose clothing giving the impression that the body is disproportionately larger than the head or feet.
*Wears heavy clothing, no matter what the season (out of season dresses; he or she may be wearing cold sweaters during hot season).
*Has unusual gait, a "robotic" walk. Stiff movements, lack of mobility of lower torso or decreased flexibility (from wearing bomb device – however backpacks are increasingly common.
*Display of tunnel vision. The bomber often will be fixated on the target and appear nervous, preoccupied, or have a blank stare.
*He or she appears to be focused and vigilant and may be fervently praying to him/herself – giving the appearance of whispering to someone.
*Displays no response to authoritative voice or direct salutation.
*Behavior which may be consistent with no future – unconcerned about receiving purchases or change.
*Walk with deliberation – but not running – towards a visible objective.
*Demonstrates forceful actions (to reach a desired target by pushing their way through a crowd or into a restricted area)
*Displays signs of drug use - including, for example, enlarged pupils, fixed stare, and erratic behavior.
*Carries bags or backpacks (used to carry explosives, nails, and other shrapnel). The bomber generally holds his or her bag or backpack tighly. Wires sticking out of the bag.
*Has a fresh shave - a male with a fresh shave and lighter skin on his lower face. May also have shaved his or her head or have a short haircut (This may be done to disguise appearance or to be better groomed when going to paradise).

*May smell of unusual herbal/flower water (in order to smell better when going to paradise).

NOTE: The unusual herbal body odour, is as a result of the incense used in the final rituals performed on them as they take off for the suicide mission.
*Has a hand in the pocket or tightly gripping something like a triggering device.
