Sender: owner-orgonomy@jefferson.village.virginia.edu

The following item sent to me is relevant to the work of Reich and
orgonomy.  Firstly, it is an apparent modern-day repeat of the
book-censorship against Reich.  Second, the work of Peter Duesberg
(co-author of the book with Brian Ellison) shows the big problems with the
HIV theory of AIDS, and thereby undermines the entire "infectious" basis of
the abstinence-education and safe-sex programs being widely promoted across
the USA.   If anybody wants copies of various scholarly books which
criticize the HIV theory of AIDS,we have a listing in our catalog,
available upon request.  James DeMeo, Orgone Biophysical Lab.

>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
>
>FEDERAL COURT DECLARES AIDS BOOK ILLEGAL
>Judge orders jury to ignore most evidence
>
>In a far-reaching decision that could throw the publishing industry into
>turmoil, the Federal court of the Southern District of New York has
>officially banned a controversial AIDS book from being distributed - even
>for free - anywhere in the United States.
>
>The verdict against the book, rendered on November 28, ended a contentious
>five-day trial in which publisher Alfred S. Regnery was suing to stop
>publication of the book.  Judge John E. Sprizzo is expected to enter the
>official judgment any day now, including a permanent injunction against
>the book and over half a million dollars in penalties against the book's
>publisher and main author, Bryan J. Ellison.  The injunction will extend a
>restraining order that already shut down the book's publication last week.
>
>"As far as I know, this is the first time in American history that the
>Federal government has banned a documentary book," said Ellison, who was
>clearly shaken by the decision.
>Evan Tolchinsky, the attorney who represented Ellison at the trial, has
>taken this case without pay because of the free speech issue.  "There's no
>question that this decision represents a radical departure from two
>hundred years of American legal tradition," he noted.  "Unless this
>decision is overturned, more books will soon join the banned list,
>businesses everywhere will suddenly find their contracts invalid, and -
>worst of all - the AIDS epidemic will continue to claim victims
>unnecessarily."
>
>The book is controversial because it documents a growing scientific debate
>over whether the Federal government has blamed the AIDS epidemic on the
>wrong cause; no charges of indecency, libel, or violation of national
>security have been made against the book.  Instead, Regnery justified his
>lawsuit against Ellison by trying to enforce a terminated contract made
>between Ellison and another publisher who had refused to publish the book.
> Regnery himself has never published the book, nor has he taken any
>serious measures to do so.  Critics accuse Regnery of illegally reviving
>the contract merely to shut down the book's publication, and point out
>that Regnery worked for several years as a high-ranking official in the
>U.S. Justice Department.
>
>Not surprisingly, some Federal officials have openly stated they do not
>want the general public to learn about the AIDS information contained in
>the book.  The Federal government currently spends over $7 billion per
>year on AIDS, all directed against HIV, the virus said to cause AIDS.  The
>Ellison book explains why hundreds of prestigious scientists and
>physicians now believe the government has blamed AIDS on the wrong cause
>since 1984, and it provides startling evidence for what many of these
>scientists believe is the real cause of AIDS.  The book also carefully
>documents why the government blamed AIDS on this virus in the first place,
>and names the people who designed the War on AIDS.  Widespread
>distribution of the book could shake public faith in the biomedical
>research establishment, says Ellison, resulting in budget cuts for
>numerous Federal agencies.
>
>Judge Sprizzo's decision is controversial not only for banning the book,
>but also for his conduct during the entire lawsuit.  Sprizzo, himself a
>former top official of the Justice Department, remained consistently
>hostile to Ellison's defense - declaring, for example, that Ellison had no
>due process rights, and trying several times to replace Ellison's attorney
>with another who knew little about the case.  During the trial, Sprizzo
>repeatedly changed the testimony of witnesses and ordered the jury to
>ignore any testimony that reflected badly on Regnery's case.  Sprizzo's
>final instructions then suddenly redefined the entire lawsuit, thus
>guaranteeing the jury's verdict against the book.
>
>Peter Duesberg, Ellison's co-author on the book, joined Regnery's side
>late in the lawsuit.  During the trial, Duesberg confessed that he had
>been contacted by Federal officials who offered him money and other
>inducements to suppress the information in the book.  Duesberg claimed he
>did not accept these offers, yet he refused to disclose the identities of
>the officials.
>
>Ellison's supporters believe this case is a turning point that will awaken
>and outrage the American public against big government and its abuse of
>power.  Not only will he appeal the decision, says Ellison, but a movement
>against the Public Health establishment will undoubtedly grow around this
>banned book.
>
>The lawsuit was held in Federal court in the Southern District of New
>York.  The case number is 95 Civ. 0157 (JES).
