Big Business pushing for Male Circumcision in Africa and Papua


Recommended Posts

I am dead against male circumcision. Especially when it is forced on some of the most vulnerable men in society by influential people such as the Clintons, Gates Foundation and the WHO.
 
My problem is MC is being pushed using stone age devices made merely for convenience of administration without proper surgical procedures being adhered to. It's also being done under the guise of phony science which is talking about the HIV virus as if it was a bacteria, and not a virus. 
 

The Papua AIDS Eradication Commission (KPAD) has overseen the circumcision of 230 Papuans using PrePex devices, a painless procedure provided by the US-based Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), at Dok II Jayapura Hospital.


“Of the 253 people who applied for circumcision, 230 had it done. Of the rest, 20 could not proceed because of previously existing penile inserts while the other three had their rings released early due to discomfort,” Papua KPAD secretary Constant Karma said in Jayapura on Monday.



Karma, who was also among those having the circumcision done, said that the circumcisions were expected to help control the spread of HIV/AIDS.



Circumcision, he said, prevented men from contracting many venereal diseases, which were considered a stepping stone in the spread of HIV/AIDS.



“By lowering the amount of venereal disease, it is expected that the spread of HIV/AIDS will also be slowed,” Karma said.



He added that the skin on the tip of the penis was where different germs causing venereal diseases might be nesting.



Earlier, Karma, a former deputy governor of Papua, revealed that the total number of people infected with AIDS in the province had reached around 19,000 since the virus was first detected in Merauke in 1992.



The device, consisting of an elastic ring that gets placed on a male’s genitals for seven days, has been considered practical and easy to use and can provide a non-surgical, medical means to carry out adult male circumcisions.



The modern devices were brought into Papua and West Papua by CHAI and were first used in Indonesia and a number of African countries.



The PrePex method is used for men of 15 years of age and older. Before being circumcised, the patients underwent counseling to avoid shock after having the rings attached to their genitals.



Charles, one of the participants, said that he could still carry out daily functions after having the rings installed. Although, he said, he felt pain each morning.



“The pain came when my penis was erect but it disappeared with the erection also,” said Charles, adding that during erection the rings exerted more pressure, thus causing pain.



Charles also said that two days after the rings were attached, the skin on the tip of his penis began to blacken and on the third day it became septic and odorous.



On the seventh day, he said, the skin had dried and was then cut off and the rings were released.



Meanwhile, HIV/AIDS counselor Siti Soltief of the Dok II Jayapura Hospital said that after the rings were released, the men were not allowed to have sex within the following six weeks, to allow the cut skin to heal completely.



“All the circumcision participants have been informed of this and they have all understood and agreed to abide by it,” Siti said.



After Papua, voluntary circumcision using the PrePex device will also be conducted in Wamena, Jayawijaya, Paniai and Manokwari, in West Papua. In Jayawijaya, 220 are reported to have applied for the procedure, in Paniai 110 people and in Manokwari 220.

If you don't already know here is the ugly truth behind circumcision:
 
 
Meanwhile in the cocooned west we still see it all as a little joke....
 

 

Jeff Goldblum Played The Rabbi At James Franco's Bar Mitzvah On Saturday (17oct15) And Performed A Mock Circumcision On Him As Part Of The Coming-of-age Celebration.
 
Seth served as the night's host, and told the audience the bar mitzvah wouldn't be complete unless James underwent a circumcision, which is typically performed by a rabbi on baby boys.James willingly lay down on a gurney to undergo the fake operation as Goldblum appeared onstage, dressed as a rabbi, ready to perform the cut.
 
Zac Efron also made an appearance in a pre-recorded video, in which he played James' "foreskin" and joked about protecting the actor for a long time. He then requested to be buried in Bungalow 3 at Hollywood's famous Chateau Marmont, the room where comedian John Belushi was famously found dead following a drug overdose in 1982.
 
Miley Cyrus served as the evening's entertainment, hitting the stage wearing a blue leotard and carrying a giant blue foam Star of David, as she performed her hit We Can't Stop and a cover of Rick James' Superfreak.

 

 
 
If only they knew the truth about what was going on in Africa.
 

Durban - A group of disgruntled parents are suing a doctor at a private community clinic who, they allege, performed “illegal” circumcisions on their teenage sons without their permission or properly explaining the procedure.

 
As a result, they allege, their sons suffered “irreversible damage and permanent disfigurement” along with temporary pain and suffering, emotional trauma and shock, an invasion of privacy, loss of dignity and “a potential loss of sensation during sexual intercourse”.
Eight applications are pending before the Durban High Court in which the parents are each seeking R500 000 in damages from Dr Shabeer Suleman, who runs the clinic in Umlazi.
 
They say they have also laid criminal charges against him.
But Suleman – with the support of the Society for Family Health (SFH), which manages the clinic –insists that the boys and their parents were treated properly and ethically as part of a programme encouraging circumcision to reduce the risk of HIV infection.
Summonses against Suleman and what is described as the “New Start” clinic were served in March this year.

 

 
 

MORE than 127,000 HIV negative men were circumcised during the first eight months of the year against an annual target of 266,580, ministry of health officials revealed last week.

 
he figures for this year represented "a great achievement", although more still needs to be done, said Brian Nachipo, advocacy officer for the Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) in the ministry of health.
 
e was addressing journalists in Gweru at a workshop organised by Population Services International (PSI) and the health ministry.
 
“The country is responding positively to the program with over 500,000 men circumcised since 2009,” said Nachipo. 
“Our target for 2015 is to circumcise 266,580 men and, as of January to August, we had circumcised a total of 127,790 men.”
 
 
He added, “In terms of our cumulative total since inception in 2009, we have so far circumcised 540,473 men.
“We are excited because we are nearing the halfway mark of our five year target.
 
 
"However, we still have a long way to go but this is clear indication of positive response that we have in Zimbabwe.”
Nachipo said there was also need to demystify myths and misconceptions around male circumcision to improve participation.
 
 
Studies have indicated that circumcision reduces the risk of getting HIV by 60 per cent.
Zimbabwe is targeting to circumcise 1.3 million men by 2017.

 

 
 

Council of Europe ends effort to ban ritual circumcision

 
 
People who hate religion in general, and Islam and Judaism in particular, often attack circumcision as a cruel, barbaric ritual lacking any positive outcome. Others attack it on secular humane grounds as a needless, cruel procedure. And some attack circumcision for hidden political reasons of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
 
So it is good news that PACE-The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe reversed its earlier recommendation that European countries ban ritual circumcision, when on October 1. 2015 it passed (73-6) a resolution on religious freedom. PACE did not reversed its earlier recommendation due to recent scientific discoveries which explained the health benefit of circumcision; but due to the active political pressure of an alliance of Jewish and Muslim organizations.
 
Jews and Muslims have always known that doing something that God wants Muslims and Jews to do must be good. But in the last few years scientists have discovered that a benefit of circumcision is that it provides heterosexual men with considerable protection against infection by HIV and other sexually transmitted viruses. Christian men in Africa are now being urged by doctors to become circumcised.
A more recent discovery is that uncircumcised men harbor more bacteria around the head of the penis than do circumcised men, and the mix of microbial species is decidedly different in the two groups. These changes in microbial numbers and diversity may explain why circumcised men are less likely to get infected with HIV.
 
The report, which appeared April 16, 2013 in mBio, finds that when the foreskin is removed from the head of the penis, resident microbes become exposed to oxygen and many bacteria flee the scene. The scientists suggest that high amounts of bacteria, and the presence of poorly understood anaerobic microbes in uncircumcised men, might contribute to inflammation, which would facilitate infection by HIV lodged in the foreskin.

Is it true that circumcision is popular in religions because it makes masturbation less enjoyable ?

 

More importantly, it makes sex less enjoyable. A person who cannot find sexual fulfillment will more easily yield to the ecstasy of the Holy. Sexual abuse and paedophilia are common within the church for this reason. To perpetuate "holiness", the church has to extinguish your eagerness for seeking the pleasures of the flesh.
