Dr. Harvey Bialy, a professional academic who was once the editor of a scientific journal, and a member of the AIDS denialist hierarchy, reveals himself for what he is in this set of emails to John Moore and others (elements of some emails from Michael Geiger of HEAL San Diego have been included to provide a context to Bialy’s). The less relevant parts of the emails have not been included, but no changes have been made. Any insertions or comments are highlighted in red. A person familiar with the language provided translations of the Spanish epithets. Note the gradual evolution of the correspondence into veiled threats of Moore suffering a violent death on the streets of New York. Note also that Bialy, on or about 6/9/06, installed an email block preventing him receiving any replies, so the correspondence was mostly unidirectional.

yo  cabron (Translation = billy-goat, used to imply the person is a cuckold, not “a real man”) or is it maricon  (Translation = gay man, used in the connotation of ‘fairy/faggot”)

you know nothing about what the scientific community thinks. nothing. you are a poseur who could not pass our graduate examinations in microbiology.

there is a lot more that puzzles you only you are too flat out dumb to realize it.

like i could really care what the fuck he (Moore) thinks of me, or as though i didn't know what david the first and second and the people in london and and all his asshole buddies think

Subject: back from the club and a few more choice words for the carbon

now i really don't see how even a cowardly cabron (translation; see above) like you could refuse this one.

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 20:58:09 -0500 (Bialy’s original capitals)

RESPECT FROM YOU AND YOUR PEERS IS LIKE A BADGE OF DISHONOR AND I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN YEARS SO I AM NOT LIKELY TO LOSE ANY

I  KNOW ALL THAT IS SAID ABOUT ME IN YOUR CIRCLES OF CHARLATANS, CROOKS AND LIARS

MY PERCEPTIVITY IN BIOTECH MADE ME WEALTHY

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 21:24:47 -0500

and now i WARN you pendejo (TRANSLATION = XXXXX)

(Bialy’s original capitals)

AND BTW...YOU HAVE NOT EVEN BEGUN TO FEEL THE REPERCUSSIONS OF YOUR PAGES AND PAGES OF STUPIDITY

REMEMBER MOORE I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND CAN BEHAVE AS OUTRAGEOUSLY AS I WANT

IN SO FAR AS THE AIDS WARS GO...MY BOOK IS AN ICBM WITH A PLUTONIUM WARHEAD AND STANDS 100% INDEPENDENT OF MY PUBLIC OR PRIVATE BEHAVIOR OR ANYTHING THE CHURCH HIERARCHY SAYS ABOUT ME

PLUS I HAVE A CUSHY, SECURE POSITION AND A LOT OF FUCKING MONEY

YOU ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE EVERYTHING TO LOSE (AND ARE RAPIDLY LOSING IT )SINCE YOUR PHONY REPUTATION IS ALL YOU HAVE OR EVER WILL / EXCEPT FOR YOUR INHERITANCE MAYBE AND THAT IS THROUGH NO WORK OF YOUR OWN BUT COURTESY THE ACCIDENT OF YOUR UPPER CLASS BIRTH

Dear John Moore and Niccoli Nattrass. Did you see this? This email from the damn denialists is really funny, but just disgusting:

 

King Chuhhtoneeh Faucioneeh is dead, Long Live King Jonooodlie Moooronooodlie!!!

So after checking the rapidly declining prices on his big pharma HIV Test and Meds stock portfolios, Chuhhtoneeh Faucioneeh, the Chief King Monkeee Clown of the NIH NIAIDS Department of Big Bucks and Playing Pretend, goes to his daily study period at the library, (actually it is his lavatory, but he thinks it is a library, because he usually studies the microscopic writing that he imagines is written on the used CHIMP POOH "looks like HIV" TOIDEE PAPER that his department head Lab Monkeees submit to him daily, and besides, he does most of his better thinking there as the smell of the gases in the bathroom seem to stimulate his mind). He finds a copy of the LA City-Beat left there by the janitor, and reads this thing.... He gurgles for a moment. He picks up a spent toilet paper core toidee roll (which he thinks is his telephone hotline) and yells knowingly into the toidee roll to all his assistant monkeee clowns, in his own intellectually styled way: AAAHHH-AAARRRGGHHH-UUUUUUh-Oh! No matter what we throw at them, these damn HIV DISSENTERS just keep bobbing back up like corks! Even worse than that, HIV dissent theories are obviously a contagious virus! It has already infected thousands of scientists and doctors and millions more worldwide! They're proliferating! They're getting louder and LOUDER! Their movement is GROWING LIKE WEEDS with the public!". Chuhhtoneeh makes another call to Cornell to another of his assistant to his assistant's assistant lab shmunkaflunkeees, Jonooodlie Moooronooodlie at Cornell HIV shmunkaflunkeee farm. He says to Jonooodlie Moooronooodlie "We need to isolate this thing and find the vaccine for it. We need more funding, but, dohhhh, maybe we should actually read a couple of their books and investigate what they are saying!!! Dohhhh"!!!!! Suddenly he feels feverish and breaks out with a sweat and a rash! As the realization of his own infection with the HIV Dissident Virus hits him, he falls into the toilet sideways. He tries to pull himself out, but as he grasps the toidee handle, he is pulled further and further down, and we hear his final words as he gasps his last gasp, and departs from the planet with this one last flush of his toidee : "AARRRGGHH-UUUUHHGGG-UUUHHH-oooohhhhhh"!!!!!!!! Jonooodlie is stunned by this revelation. Vowing to never read an infected article by Duesberg or Bialy, or any of the other thousands of thoroughly peer reviewed dissident pieces, he picks up his own toidee roll and calls the New York Times. "The Chief Clown is Dead! I am now KING Jonooodlie Mooronoodlie OF THE HIV Theory Lab Monkees! I will isolate the denialist virus and I will find the cure for HIV Dissent! Get me the president, get ME the funding!" But, as he yells into the toidee roll, he slips on his own used toidee paper ego-filled chimp pooh reports and falls into his own monkey toilet! As Jonooodlie's fat ego-inflated head fights for humility and survival, it just won't fit down the toidee, and he thinks himself to be saved by his ego once again. But then his own assistant lab monkeees try to finish him off as they do their own chimp pooh "looks like hiv" doooh-doooh on Jonooodlies head, in their own rush to finish off his ego and become the next King Clown and Chief Monkeee of Big Bucks and Playing Pretend!

dear michael

i am more pleased to receive this than i was distressed by the awful satire, and for only one reason really and that is that you have shown yourself to be a highly intelligent and passionate person who can write quite well when required (it reminbds me a little bit of myself int he various postures i have taken on since involving myself in the possiblities of using the internet and blogosphere to educate and even destabilize ..all thanks to dean esmay reading my book and being convinced the shit stank ... this has been a very mixed event since i actually dispise the man in many ways and recently in fact have severed all connection and communication with him because of his wrong-headed ideas about most everything except this one issue

i do what i can and will keep on doing it until i join my rainbow body

p.s. have you spent time at my internet museum? if i did not have to involve myself in the aids wars i would spend ALL my time indulging my favorite "fond madness" .. you may know the work of robert duncan, the very great sf gay poet. when i was a lad at berkeley he was very kind to my juvenalia and took me under his wing a bit. once he said to me..."harvey i can't wait until i am an old man (he was 45 or so then) and can wear a feather boa and when young poets like you come calling i can stand at the top of the stairs and shout in a falsetto "yoo hoo young man, come up. i am quite mad." well i am old enough now to live my version of sir robert's delight.

other than thank you, well

you do remind me in a very, very roundabout and inverse sort of way of my buddy* mick's song about 'start me up'. i think i now have 4 distinct examples of conversations (sic) you have produced (each one sinking you deeper in your own doo doo) that begin with you clearly and forcefully and insultingly make it as abundantly clear as your views of "denialists" that you wish no further communication, and then what happens...oy vey (that's spanish for i fucked myself, again) ,,,so at the very least what is anybody who sees all of these torrents (and i do mean all,. do you do all your research as sloppy as your checking on who might actually know who....for ex. i do *not* know esmay or hank/david (despite esmay calling me his friend ...i am far from it). i do know, and very well some of the others you have insulted and further displayed your sublime ignorance to)

but to the point lad, "so at the very least what is anybody who sees all of these torrents to think of your denials of the denialist except the fellow cannot be trusted to keep his word to himself, so how can we take his other declarations of faith for anything other than bluster?

if you want to write me, you will have to create a third account on hotmail or yahoo. it will work exactly once, which is many alephs removed from the value of your word, which is 0.

*maybe not exactly 'buddy'...between 1972 and 74 we shared a certain famous in song  "brown sugar" ex-ikette named claudia (along with david bowie). she never married any of us, but i always thought that the fact i was in the game with those guys counted for something (claudia has been a french/spanish/english translator at the un since she gave up her singing career after one hot but commercially unsuccessful album .. smarter gal than you by far, and of course infinitely better looking, even for "guys" like mick and david)

well it's malibu today with another friend from the wide world of entertainments, and then to his club, where he expects me to embarrass some of his hollywood cronies who "think" they play 3-cushion billiards (because there is one table in the  club, and a few have fooled around a bit), but who have never studied the game and so cannot in fact play at all...kinda like you in just about everything you do as far as i can see.....

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 21:07:55 -0500 (the veiled threats start)

oy vey, oy vey and ojala tambien you gots to be the a numero uno schmuck in the whole wide world / and you sent him the sham paper by XXXX (name deleted) that is revealed for what it is in my "awful, awful book" that you so clearly have never read based on your imagining that that piece of thrice recycled shit would convince a real scientist of anything except what a sham and liar you are.

keep it up fella...i never dreamed god would send me an enemy like you ...please don't hurt yourself crossing the street. i don't know what the 'denialist movement' would do without your ultra-precious self.

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 08:54:19 -0500 (and continue)

did somebody shut you up,  because we all know you are not capable of this act of self discipline without excessive medication or threats too awful (like my book) to imagine.

jeeves calls, i go

adios mi buen enamigo,  and watch out for crazy pakastani taxi drivers ....please

Sun, 25 Jun 2006 22:30:55 -0500 (and continue)

what can i say except please be very, very careful crossing the street, your value to the insurgency grows exponentially almost (you do know what that word means, don't you? do you know what a sigmoid curve looks like and what it means? probably not, but you are beginning to experience the part where the slope gets very positve very fast.

Mon, 26 Jun 2006 01:33:27 -0500 (and continue)

it would be even more out of place and therefore even more useful to me, peter and the insurgency

Mon, 26 Jun 2006 23:01:05 -0500 (and continue)

you are rapidly making me very famous and sought after by all sorts of media types, and thereby making one of my worst nightmares come true. i am a hermetic type and do not crave at all the excellent attention you have been bringing me, but i suppose i will endure it for the good of the war.

keep it up ...if you can...and please please please be xtra careful crossing the dangerous and pakistani taxi bedevilled streets of the apple

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 09:43:28 -0500 (and continue)

so once again mi buen enamigo...take extra special care crossing the streets, especially today………..

when did I ever claim to be a serious scientist?

A suitable point on which to close this set of ramblings, and one that it is to be hoped any journalist or member of the public contacting this man for information on HIV/AIDS will take due note of.
