About Charles Ortleb
No journalist has written more books that sounded the alarm about the intertwined nature of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, AIDS, and HHV-6 epidemics than Charles Ortleb. A thorough understanding of these epidemics must begin with the reading of Ortleb's unique books.
Four decades of writing and thinking about what can only be called a political and biomedical cover-up have turned Ortleb into one of the most important political philosophers of science and writers of his time. His uncompromising work has made him the George Orwell and Hannah Arendt of his generation. Anyone who calls his pioneering journalism and world-class level of critical political and philosophical thinking "misinformation" either has not read his books or is engaged in an obvious political agenda.
As a publisher, editor, and author, Charles Ortleb has been warning the world that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a contagious pandemic caused by a virus that can trigger a spectrum of illnesses and that it can be both chronic and fatal. Ortleb has insisted that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is at the center of a public health crisis that still has not been recognized by the scientific, medical, and media elite. The deaths of a number of people from complications of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are finally waking the world up to the importance of his work and the wisdom of all of his books.
Charles Ortleb was the publisher and editor-in-chief of Christopher Street, New York Native, and Theater Week. At Christopher Street, he was responsible for launching many of our most celebrated writers and artists. At the helm of New York Native, he was the first journalist to take the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic seriously. In Rolling Stone, David Black said that the New York Native deserved a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of AIDS. The investigative reporting he published by journalists like John Lauritsen and Neenyah Ostrom is still required reading for any historian that wants to know the true story of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Ortleb created HHV-6 University online to continue reporting on the virus that links AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to autism and many other emerging epidemics. No writer in the world has done more reporting on HHV-6 than Ortleb. After New York Native went out of business in 1997, Ortleb began to focus on his own career as a writer. In the last twenty years he has written nonfiction, history, political philosophy, poetry, cartoons, and plays. He helped turn his book "The Last Lovers on Earth" into a film. He is also a lyricist and has written the words for several albums by Chris Davidson on Spotify.
INTERVIEW WITH CHARLES ORTLEB
Is it true that you were the first publisher to take AIDS seriously in 1981?
Yes. I recognized early on that it would be a huge story.
Is it true that Rolling Stone said you deserved a Pulitzer Prize for your AIDS coverage?
Yes, back in the 80s.
Are these books available at Amazon in all countries?
Yes.
Why do you call the AIDS epidemic Holocaust II?
Because anyone who studies AIDS as I have (for 35 years) must come to the conclusion that AIDS science is very much like Nazi science and AIDS medicine is very much like Nazi medicine. The Jewish people were the primary targets of Holocaust I, but gays are the primary victims of Holocaust II. But not the only ones. The whole population is endangered by the lies of Holocaust II.
Why doesn't the gay community realize that AIDS is Holocaust II?
They have been hoodwinked into thinking the Centers for Disease Control is telling them the truth about the epidemic. The CDC's AIDS paradigm is essentially a Potemkin village. But is not just the gay community and the black community that is forced to live in that village. The whole world is. My book, The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up details how that happened and how the fraud is being maintained.
You have described AIDS/CFS science and the HHV-6 cover-up as a giant Bernie Madoff type of scientific Ponzi scheme. What do you mean by that?
A scientific Ponzi scheme begins with a central seminal or foundational scientific fraud and is sometimes built on an infrastructure of smaller scientific frauds. Like the fake dividends issued in a strictly financial Ponzi scheme, a scientific Ponzi scheme issues fake dividends in the form of ongoing fraud-based research often framed as "breakthroughs" and bogus extrapolations which make it look like everything is above board and that what, in reality, is scientific fraud, appears to the rest of the scientific community and the public as good faith progress.
A classic scientific Ponzi scheme like the Fauci-Gallo-Montagnier-Agut HIV Fraud Ponzi Scheme and HHV-6 Cover-up include elements like these:
1. Nosological fraud.
2. Epidemiological fraud.
3. Virological fraud.
4. Treatment fraud.
5. Public health policy fraud.
6. Concealment of negative scientific data and paradigm-challenging anomalies.
7. Use of an elite network of "old boys" and pseudo-activist provocateurs to censor critics and whistleblowers.
8. Chronic obscurantism.
9. If necessary, vigilantism and witch-hunts against any intellectuals, scientists, or citizens who constitute any form of resistance to the Ponzi scheme.
10. A subservient scientific press that is used as a conveyor belt for the Ponzi scheme's propaganda.
Everything always looks like it is working perfectly in a scientific Ponzi scheme, until the moment comes when someone look at the books and blows the whistle. Hopefully, that game-changing moment for the HIV Fraud Ponzi scheme and HHV-6 cover-up is coming soon.
When did you first start to question the CDC's AIDS science?
When I caught them lying about some test results. It is detailed in my books. But my critical thinking really took off when Peter Duesberg, a prominent scientist, found serious credibility gaps in the establishment's HIV dogma. I write about Duesberg's ideas in my book The Duesbergians.
What philosopher has had the biggest impact on your thinking about AIDS, or what you call Holocaust II?
Hannah Arendt. I think it would have taken her about two seconds to recognize that the science of AIDS was very political and very totalitarian. It would not have surprised her that it ultimately threatens the health of the whole population. You can learn more about her influence on my thinking here.
Did Hannah Arendt inspire your new book about the politics of science called Iatrogenocide?
Very much so.
How would you describe your book Iatrogenocide?
The subtitle of the book is "Notes for a Political Philosophy of Epidemiology and Science." It consists of ideas culled from notebooks I have kept over the last decade while I did a lot of reading and thinking about the political nature of science in order to try and understand how the gay and black communities were bamboozled into believing the scientific frauds that have trapped them in a biomedical gulag.
What is the moral of Iatrogenocide?
That epidemiological power corrupts and absolute epidemiological power corrupts absolutely.
What other writers and thinkers have informed your thinking?
Thomas Kuhn, Isaiah Berlin, Orwell, Sartre, and Camus. And many others.
Why is The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up so controversial?
A lot of powerful interests who are responsible for this mess are threatened by the real story of HHV-6, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, autism and AIDS. If enough people read my book, there will be calls for a congressional investigation into everything we've been told about AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, HHV-6, and autism. Just for starters. All kinds of class action lawsuits could be launched against the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health.

In this explosive chapter, the first publisher to devote his newspaper to the coverage of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome details the role of Anthony Fauci in the cover-up of the truth about the relationship of the two epidemics.
If you want to know the truth about the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic, you need to discover the brilliant investigative work Neenyah Ostrom did for a decade. Starting in 1988, Ostrom reported on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for a newspaper called New York Native. What her reporting uncovered about the true nature of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic will shock you.
In The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up, Charles Ortleb recounts his newspaper's struggle to get the media and the mainstream medical establishment to pay attention to Ostrom's pioneering investigative reporting on the science and politics of the devastating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic.
By the time you finish Ortleb's stunning memoir, you will understand why the Centers for Disease Control has been unwilling to tell the public the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The CDC does not want the public to know that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a transmissible illness linked to a virus called HHV-6 that affects every system in the body. They have covered up the illness for so many decades that the neglected virus is totally out of control. Now it is causing a long list of other illnesses and many cancers.
Nobody in the world covered the emergence of HHV-6 and its link to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome more than Neenyah Ostrom. Ostrom's decade of reporting on HHV-6 was recently vindicated by this statement from scientists at the University of Wurzburg: "While HHV-6 was long believed to have no negative impact on human health, scientists today increasingly suspect the virus of causing various diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Recent studies even suggest that HHV-6 might play a role in the pathogenesis of several diseases of the central nervous system such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or Alzheimer's."
The big question about Neenyah Ostrom and New York Native is this: How many lives would have been saved if the scientific establishment and the mainstream media had paid more attention to Neenyah Ostrom's reporting on HHV-6 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in New York Native?
One day, if there is any justice in the world, the CDC and the medical establishment will apologize for not paying attention to Neenyah Ostrom's groundbreaking work on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that Charles Ortleb published in New York Native. That would be a fitting end to one of journalism's greatest David and Goliath stories.
What are the CDC and NIH afraid of?
Are they afraid of public panic? Are they afraid that they will be sued for malpractice and lose their credibility?
Why have millions of people who have so-called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, an obviously contagious illness that is often called "Non-HIV AIDS," been neglected and lied to? Why have their lives been ruined? Why have they been gaslighted by dishonest scientists who pretend their sometimes-fatal illness is all in their heads?
In this second volume of his brilliant history of the intertwined Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS epidemics, Charles Ortleb provides a detailed roadmap to the personalities and events that contributed to the biggest scientific and political cover-up of our time. Ortleb paints a picture of government malfeasance that will remind readers of Vietnam and Watergate.
Ortleb takes the reader back to ground zero at the CDC when the first mistakes that led to the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome disaster were made by researchers James Curran, Donald Francis, Mary Guinan and James Mason. Ortleb analyzes the cognitive bias and incompetence that prevented the early AIDS researchers from seeing the connection between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, AIDS, and the virus that HIV fraud was hiding: HHV-6.
Ortleb identifies Anthony Fauci as a virtual Bernie Madoff who has been running a scientific Ponzi scheme that has hidden the truth about the relationship of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, HHV-6, and AIDS. Ortleb argues that Fauci's cover-up of the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome began in earnest at the 1992 Amsterdam AIDS conference when the first cases of AIDS without HIV emerged. Many of those cases were Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Fauci used his power as Director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to conceal the connection between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, HHV-6, and AIDS for almost four decades. Fauci won't even talk about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome because it threatens to reveal that everything he has told the public about the AIDS epidemic is false.
Ortleb also explores the role that disgraced AIDS researcher Robert Gallo played in created the fraudulent paradigm of AIDS that has concealed the truth about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from the public. Together with Anthony Fauci, Gallo has helped create a sociopathic pseudoscientific universe in which anyone who dares to tell the truth about AIDS, HHV-6, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is virtually destroyed.
In the final section of the book, Ortleb covers the criticisms of scientists who tried, but failed, to blow the whistle on the massive HIV fraud that led to the cover-up of the HHV-6 epidemic which now includes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, autism, Alzheimer's, and many other immunological illnesses and cancers.
For decades, Ortleb has been criticized and mocked for focusing his journalism on HHV-6. But that is now changing. Ortleb's reporting on HHV-6's role in multiple diseases was recently vindicated by this statement from the University of Wurzburg: "While HHV-6 was long believed to have no negative impact on human health, scientists today increasingly suspect the virus of causing various diseases such as multiple sclerosis or chronic fatigue syndrome. Recent studies even suggest that HHV-6 might play a role in the pathogenesis of several diseases of the central nervous system such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression or Alzheimer's."
The first book is the detailed history of Charles Ortleb's newspaper, New York Native, the only publication to tirelessly raise questions about everything the Centers for Disease Control was doing and not doing about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
The second book contains a critical analysis of the forces and personalities that contributed to a cover-up of an epidemic that now threatens everyone's health.
Charles Ortleb, the pioneering publisher who devoted a newspaper to coverage of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, analyzes the battle to control the scientific narrative that made Anthony Fauci one of the most powerful scientists in the universe and destroyed the career of Peter Duesberg. While Charles Ortleb concludes that they were both wrong about the nature of the AIDS epidemic, he argues that Duesberg inadvertently helped open the world's eyes to the relationship between HHV-6, AIDS, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Peter Duesberg's critique of HIV is presented here as a pathway to a new understanding of the real AIDS epidemic which revolves around the virus HHV-6 and includes what was thought to be a separate epidemic: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
While Duesberg and his supporters never even discussed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, their diligent work made it crystal clear that AIDS research was riddled with mistaken assumptions and in some instances, serious fraud.
No journalist has written more books that sounded the alarm about the intertwined nature of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, AIDS, and HHV-6 epidemics than Charles Ortleb. A thorough understanding of these epidemics must begin with the reading of Ortleb's unique books.
Four decades of writing and thinking about what can only be called a political and biomedical cover-up have turned Ortleb into one of the most important political philosophers of science and writers of his time. His uncompromising work has made him the George Orwell and Hannah Arendt of his generation.
As a publisher, editor, and author, Charles Ortleb has been warning the world that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a contagious pandemic caused by a virus that can trigger a spectrum of illnesses and that it can be both chronic and fatal. Ortleb has insisted that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is at the center of a public health crisis that still has not been recognized by the scientific, medical, and media elite. The deaths of a number of people from complications of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are finally waking the world up to the importance of his work and the wisdom of all of his books.
Ortleb closes his book with a plea for the "CFS/AIDS New Deal" to change the course of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS research. The "CFS/AIDS New Deal" calls for equal funding for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and AIDS research, treatment, and prevention, and that they be researched side-by-side to determine if they are actually one epidemic.
As African Swine Fever Virus, a deadly virus that infects pigs, is spreading in China and threatens to infect pigs in Western Europe and may even reach America, the timing of this provocative novel could not be more perfect. As fears grow that the virus might be capable of infecting humans, this book raises troubling questions about the honesty and competence of public health officials. Could the next human epidemic be lurking in pigs? Has a pig virus already quietly infected us and is it responsible for mysterious illnesses like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimer's, AIDS, and autism?
The African Swine Fever Novel, which appears 70 years after Animal Farm, updates the political and existential status of man and pig in a laugh-out-loud, mini-epic of a narrative that readers everywhere will be quoting at the water cooler. The African Swine Fever Novel has so many dynamic moving parts that it reads like it is reflecting the state of our world in real time.
A contemporary allegorical fable about the overlapping breakdown of the porcine and human public health systems, Charles Ortleb's little masterpiece is full of the absurd zaniness of Catch-22 and the gritty horror of The Jungle. He has used his journalistic, critical, and comedic skills to expose our planet's newest biomedical Silent Spring.
Some will call The African Swine Fever Novel an edgy, postmodern, meta-satire, while others will deem it a jolly good tale that opens our eyes to the situation of the human-like pigs and porcine humans in our midst. In the upside-down world of The African Swine Fever Novel, the pigs talk and the humans oink. The pigs are more terrified of getting cockamamie diseases from humans than the humans are of getting them from pigs.
One never escapes the feeling in The African Swine Fever Novel, that Ortleb has strategically nailed something utterly monstrous that will one day bite us all on the ass, if it hasn't already. This provocative and hilarious book is as wild and crazy as a fox. A literary and philosophical torch has been passed from Orwell to Ortleb. The world has a new classic.
Charles Ortleb was the first publisher and editor-in-chief to provide the world with extensive coverage of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at a time when most of the media was looking the other way. He is the author of The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up, the definitive history of the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic.
From December, 1980 until 1997, Charles Ortleb was the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of New York Native which Wikipedia describes as "the only gay paper in New York during the early part of the AIDS epidemic" which "pioneered reporting on the AIDS epidemic when others ignored it." On May 18, 1981, New York Native published the world's very first report on the disease that would become known as AIDS. In his book, And the Band Played On, Randy Shilts described the New York Native coverage of the epidemic as being "singularly thorough" and "voluminous." In Rolling Stone, David Black said that New York Native deserved a Pulitzer prize for its AIDS coverage. In an interview in New York Press, Nicholas Regush, a producer for ABC News and a reporter for Montreal Gazette, said that New York Native did "an astounding job" in its coverage of AIDS and credited it with "educating him early on." In a profile on me titled "The Outsider" in Rolling Stone in 1988, Katie Leishman wrote that "It is undeniable that many major AIDS stories were Ortleb's months and sometimes years before mainstream journalists took them up. Behind the scenes he exercises an enormous unacknowledged influence on the coverage of the medical story of the century."
The writers and journalists who appeared in New York Native from 1981-1996 often made history. Larry Kramer's famous essay, "1112 and Counting," which helped launch the AIDS activist movement, was published in New York Native in 1983. John Lauritsen's investigative articles on AZT, the toxic AIDS drug that killed thousands of gay men, are still considered by many to be some of the best journalism published during the epidemic. The New York Native was such an important journal of record on AIDS that in 1984 the director of the CDC went out of his way to inform New York Native's medical reporter about the discovery of the so-called AIDS retrovirus before any other publication in America.
In addition to pioneering the coverage of AIDS, New York Native was the only publication in the world to have a reporter, Neenyah Ostrom, who provided weekly coverage of the emergence of the epidemic of chronic fatigue syndrome and its scientific and political relationship to AIDS. Hillary Johnson, in her groundbreaking history of chronic fatigue syndrome, Osler's Web, wrote that "Ortleb, in fact, increasingly suspected the AIDS outbreak was merely a modest subset of the more pervasive, immune-damaging epidemic disease claiming heterosexuals--chronic fatigue syndrome." The news about chronic fatigue syndrome these days seems to suggest that much of New York Native's controversial take on the relationship between AIDS, HHV-6 and chronic fatigue syndrome is being vindicated.
This uncompromising and eye-opening little book is a chapter from The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up volume Two: The Origins of Totalitarianism in Science and Medicine. It explores the mistakes four researchers at the Centers for Disease Control made which led to the explosive pandemic of HHV-6 and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which threaten everyone's health today.
While the scientists who led the AIDS research efforts at the Centers for Disease Control, (James Curran, Donald Francis, Mary Guinan, and James Mason), have been celebrated as heroic figures, Ortleb argues that their work was flawed, prejudiced, and ultimately resulted in a catastrophe that scientists have not yet even begun to fully understand.
Hopefully, this book will inspire scientists, the media, and the public to ask the inconvenient questions that could result in a new understanding of the relationship between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, HHV-6, and AIDS.
