New York's Administration for Children's Services, a BBC documentary "Guinea Pig Kids", Columbia University, Nyumbani USA and the pizzagate connections (pizzagate)

submitted ago by letsdothis3

A 2004 BBC documentary 'exposed how the city of New York forced "HIV" positive children under its supervision to be used as human guinea pigs in tests for experimental Antiretroviral drug trials. All of the children in the program were under the legal guidance of the city's child welfare department, the Administration for Children's Services.'

Guinea Pig Kids: ARV-Babies in New York City

This article summarises the contents of the documentary: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/this_world/4038375.stm

..Central to this story is the city's child welfare department, the Administration for Children's Services (ACS). The ACS, as it is known, was granted far-reaching powers in the 1990s by then-Republican Mayor Rudi Giuliani, after a particularly horrific child killing...

On wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarnation_Children%27s_Center

The ICC is a non-profit corporation affiliated with the Archdiocese of New York and Columbia University.... In 2005, the Center was the focus of "Guinea Pig Kids", a BBC documentary alleging ethical violations in these clinical trials.[1] The allegations prompted an investigation by the Vera Project, which concluded that no children had died as a result of the trials, but that the Center had kept poor records and sometimes failed to follow its own enrollment policies.

However this article points out issues with the Vera report: http://archive.is/3lRyc

Subsequent independent investigations — by the Associated Press, by the federal Office of Human Research Protections; and by the Vera Institute of Justice — confirmed that ethical standards and federal regulations had been violated. The investigations confirmed that most children did not have an the protection of an independent advocate to give or refuse consent to experimental interventions. ….The Associated Press reported that the scope of these experiments was much wider; extending beyond New York to “at least seven states.” Among them: Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Colorado and Texas. AP reported that  more than four dozen different studies were involved. The foster children ranged from infants to late teens, according to interviews and government records.

..In 2006, OHRP confirmed the allegations by the Alliance for Human Research Protection; concluding that Columbia University Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, failed to obtain proper consent from an independent advocate, failed to ensure “equitable” selection and and failed to ensure safeguards for the foster children who “are likely to be vulnerable to coercion or undue influence.” ..“OHRP issued determination letters to 19 institutions across the country for violations related to the enrollment of foster children in the HIV/AIDS clinical trials originally cited in the AHRP letter. The 19 institutions included the New York City medical centers Bronx-Lebanon and Bellevue Hospital Centers. The SUNY Health Science Center at Stony Brook had also received a determination letter in February 2006 regarding two of the clinical trials cited.  … Links to the 19 letters

...The authors of the report “concluded” — on the basis of (admittedly) incomplete, therefore unreliable records that the deaths were “not a direct result of the medications.” However the validity of that conclusion is highly questionable. The Vera Institute did not even have access to minutes from medical center research review boards (IRBs) where the trials were conducted.

In the UK, the Guardian newspaper highlighted the involvement of GlaxoSmithKline in the case: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/apr/04/usa.highereducation

Apparently the Incarnation Children's Center was the brainchildchild of Dr. Stephen W. Nicholas : https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/nyregion/belated-charge-ignites-furor-over-aids-drug-trial.html

Looking for more info on the doctor took me to the website of the Kenyan charity Nyumbani: http://www.nyumbani.org/meet-stephen-nicholas-dean/

Back in April, we wrote about the visit of Stephen and his colleague Dean Christian Stohler to Nyumbani’s programs in Kenya. The pair was in Kenya for the East Africa Oral Health Summit, which brought together over 100 leaders in oral health. We covered their visit and the summit in our previous post, but during our research we also learned that Dean Nicholas had been a follower of Nyumbani for many years and even knew our founder, Father D’Agostino. 

..In its early days, Father D’Agostino visited Incarnation with a mutual friend of Nicholas, David Pincus. Nicholas remembers Father D’Ag showing up on the ICC’s doorstep one day, eager to learn more about New York’s first home for pediatric AIDS patients. Not long after his visit to ICC and introduction to Nicholas, Father D’Ag was in Kenya founding Nyumbani, a home reminiscent of the children’s home in Harlem.

Uh huh.. we know about Nyumbani on this forum:

Newly Chosen UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt Potential POI?: Worked with Orphan Rapist / BA Pilot Simon Wood at Nyumbani; Was Funded by Groucho Club Chairman; Led Jimmy Savile Investigations

.. UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has a lot of coincidental connections to pedophilia. ...Pedophile British Airways Pilot Simon Wood...Pilot Abused His Position at British Airways to Molest Hundreds of Girls at African Orphanages While Claiming He Was Doing Charity Work ..Prosecution Service ruled there was insufficient evidence to charge him. He was allowed to keep his job at BA and, in an indictment of the vetting system, continued his charity work with children.

..Politician Jeremy Hunt founded the company Hotcourses in the 1990’s, which currently shares a Board of Trustees with the Nyumbani orphanage in Nairobi, which he is a member of. Nyumbani appointed previously arrested for a child sexual offense BA pilot Simon Wood to its UK board of directors in 2003.

.The founder of Nyumbani, an Air Force urology surgeon, Georgetown University psychiatrist, and Jesuit priest named Angelo D'Agostino, is pictured here in the Clinton Oval Office. It should be noted that D'Agostino was close to the late Senators Jesse Helms and Patrick Leahy, with Leahy calling D'Agostino "a living saint," because Cathy O'Brien alleges Patrick Leahy raped her daughter many times, and otherwise tortured her, Cathy, in numerous incidents.

President of Nyumbani USA is Charles DeSantis http://www.nyumbani.org/nyumbani-usa/

You remember him.. Bill Clinton babysits his adopted children: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3452995

More Voat posts here re DeSantis :

James Alefantis friends taking children from other countries - Charles DeSantis (works for UN Refugee Agency)

More Comet Ping Pong Connections - United Nations Charles DeSantis friends with NSA SPY AGENCY worker - Booz Allen Hamilton(Snowden) + The Washington Ballet

And we know that the Archdiocese of NY is being investigated for their pedophile priests, right? I'll stop there for now...

Btw, Epstein has connections with Columbia University too.

Father D’Agostino visited Incarnation with a mutual friend of Nicholas, David Pincus

A portrait of David Pincus https://www.inquirer.com/philly/living/20090726_Portrait_of_David_N__Pincus__a_global_benefactor.html

excerpts:

Elie Wiesel has traveled all over the world with David N. Pincus, a retired Philadelphia clothing manufacturer. They've traveled to Auschwitz, to Moscow, to Kosovo, and to the White House...But a 1987 trip to Brazil stands out in the Nobel Peace Prize winner's memory. "We were going to meet the president of Brazil," said Wiesel, who was being presented with an award. "And David just disappeared."

Pincus had discovered a colony of destitute children in São Paulo. Given the choice between attending a formal state banquet and a chance to spread joy among the poor, Pincus chose to visit the kids.

Pincus is a largely unsung humanitarian, more comfortable working behind the scenes. He is well-known in Philadelphia art circles for his impressive modern collection and for donating his works to the region's biggest museums. But most of his charity has escaped notice because it was overseas, or anonymous.

..Now, at 82, Pincus has turned his attention to charities closer to home that target disadvantaged children and youths - hospitals, playgrounds, Community College of Philadelphia.

..His walls display works by some of the most celebrated modern artists: Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Clyfford Still. He juxtaposes the art with photos of poor children he has met during his journeys. There is a photo of the Pincuses with Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick. There's another of Pincus with golfer Arnold Palmer, whose clothing line he manufactured.

..Rabbi Neil S. Cooper, the head of Temple Beth Hillel Beth-El in Wynnewood, meets Pincus once a week to swap stories and to savor a shot of Jameson.

..I met Pincus 10 years ago when I was The Inquirer's Africa correspondent. He was a board member of the International Rescue Committee, one of America's oldest relief organizations.

...A Pincus encounter with children is a spectacle. At a camp of Sierra Leonean refugees, Pincus wandered off to seek out camp residents. A few children drew close to examine the curious foreigner with the grin and the goodies. Pincus insisted on placing the candies into the children's mouths - feel, touch.

..I next heard from Pincus in 2001, when The Inquirer published my article about a conflict between South African AIDS activists and big pharmaceutical companies. Pincus phoned and wanted to know whom he could help...First Pincus sent her some money. A few months later, he made the first of four visits to South Africa. He was accompanied by an AIDS expert, Stephen W. Nicholas, the director of pediatrics at Harlem Hospital Center, who went along to help Pincus assess the hospice's needs.

..Pincus set up a U.S. charity, Friends of Sparrows, to channel tax-deductible contributions to the hospice. It has sent about $250,000 to South Africa. The hospice has expanded into a village housing 330 clients, mostly children, with a budget of $1 million...

..Pincus also introduced her to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where he recently committed $1.3 million over five years to create a global health fellowship that will send two pediatricians overseas to assist AIDS programs. The gift will help the hospital take a lead in international health, said Rodney Finalle, the fellowship director.

..In 1999, Pincus encouraged Nicholas to extend his outreach to the Dominican Republic. When Nicholas organized the International Family AIDS Program on the island, Pincus lined up support from Harold A. Honickman, the beverage mogul, and Sy Syms, the clothing retailer.

..Pincus' father, Nathan, and uncles founded the clothing firm in 1911 after emigrating from what is now Belarus. The firm thrived. PBM became one of the largest manufacturers in an industry that employed 25,000 people in Philadelphia before the jobs went overseas.

..Pincus' connections in the art world multiplied. He became involved in the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania when it opened in 1963. Through the ICA, he met Warhol and acquired a few of his works, some of them promised to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Pincus headed the 20th Century Committee and was a trustee for more than 35 years.
