    It is time this video was released by the health departments of countries as it most emphatically reveals the truth about XDR TB. Now is the time to share it.

    “I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.”

    Hey mate you may be young but that was a wise and wonderful thing to say. Good for you. I wish I had more of your style and grace. Oh how the young have so much to teach the aged. God bless you for your honesty and openness. I thought your question was a fine one. How heartfelt of you to ask it. May the world be filled with hearts like yours. Please keep questioning people like me. Thank you for your kindness and humility. I have much to learn from you my friend. cheers alex in Australia

    Yes, what you said …
    Yes, what you said makes perfect sense. That would be the most just thing to do.

    I am young and still naive. I know that. I’ve never been a person of god, but I do acknowledge the chance of a god existing. If there is a god I appreciate that god. With that being said I would like to say this. If there is a god and there is a heaven I could see myself forgiving people who have done me wrong since the place is so wonderful.

    Mate fire is not my idea. I could never be so just. I would have to throw myself in. No heart felt person wants anyone to perish in an eternal fire. I know God does not desire any to perish but Divine Justice will be measured out on Judgement Day. Do you not want arrogant pride destroyed for ever. Do you not think people will have to give an account for how they have lived their lives. Does the photographer not have an eternal reward coming to him for what he has tried to promote? alex

    Mate you have a right to your own opinions, good for you. I have a right to mine. As posted “for those interested”. That obviously does not include you. So be it. As for everyone not being Christian the numbers 3 and 7 are significant to many of the worlds religions (eg Jews, Moslems and many new age belief systems). I am a Christian but I am not here to advocate Christianity. I was simply identifying with the theme of the presentation and linking the numerology. I SO agree with your 3rd point

    We seem to be more interested in amusing ourselves to death than facing the reality of what is happening to these people we’re seeing, through the photographs of James Nachtwey.

    three things. one …
    three things. one frothy’s comment isnt even close to funny. two dont give a about your religion so dont post stuff like that alex. not everyones christian u know. third and probably the worst, this video has 291 874 views at the time of my post and then in the related videos fingers breakdance 2 has 3,930,846 views. its just disheartening to see such an important video have so few views while stupid things have like 10 times that amount

  14. alexleitch37 Says:

    This video …
    This video presentation contained 37 pictures in 3 min. For those interested in Numerology these are the two most popular numbers in the Bible. No other numbers come close to the usage of 3’s and 7’s. Now go and read Psalm 37 and 73. They are mirror Psalms that contain the same theme. “Do not loose heart when you find Rich and Wealthy Evil people fairing so well while the Poor and Downtrodden suffer so greatly? Do not envy the Proud and Arrogant. They will burn forever. The Meek are God’s.

    Once again I have found myself amazed at Nachtwey’s skill and critical eye. The pictures certainly do this justice.

    XDR-TB was totally preventable. It still may be. There is a crucial point where it will stop being so. There will be no cure. The only way to avoid this is to mass-produce the drug to cure TB, and ensure that every person diagnosed receives the proper dosage. This strain formed by people not finishing their antibiotics because they felt better. Now more are dying.

    Think about that for one hour and then review your ridiculous statement.

    Aids was made in a lab.
    There is a stone in georgia that outlines the elite plan to keep the population bellow 500,000 million.
    There is a whole division of the UN for “population control”, what do you think they do in there?
    Do you not think there are people influenced by evil who are constantly searching for new ways to kill off those they consider “undesirable”?

    You think the average WoW player or any one caught in mind control gives this a second thought day by day? Mind control.
