Circumcising Africa

AVfM News Director Robert O’Hara just brought us a diligently researched article with a story so intriguing that we decided to dedicate the entire episode of AVfM Radio, the first show of 2012, of to the subject.

The United Nations is implementing a plan to push, and then later to mandate, circumcision across much of the African Continent. As Robert cited in his article, the science they are using (that it will stop the spread of HIV) to justify this is flawed, corrupt and misleading actually, but backed by some of the most powerful individuals and organizations in the world.

And of course some of the usual feminist suspects are on the ground leading the shame campaigns designed to rake in money and coerce men to comply.

The real reason this is happening are sketchy and elusive.

AVfM regular Alfred E. came out early in the comments and said, “Follow the money.” Well, that is what we are going to do, and there is a lot of it to follow. Initially, somewhere along the lines of 300 million dollars, but that is just the beginning.

We can easily predict that much of the money will be siphoned off by corrupt government agencies and African “care” organizations, but there is going to be a lot more to this story before it is over.  As we have already discovered, foreskins are money. It is hard to believe that African doctors will be rounding up 28,000,000 of them without some serious money changing hands.

So tonight we begin what will be undoubtedly a subject of interest that you will be hearing about through Robert O’Hara for some time to come.  He will be on the show tonight, of course with John the Other and the ever present Dr. T handling the phones.
