WAS AIDS MAN-MADE?

 

PITTSBURGH Brotherly Lovers Of Original Democracy, founded 1994 in

Philadelphia to spearhead a class action lawsuit against Uncle Sam for

bio-enginering AIDS, has collected over 3,000 signatures from all 50

United

States. Witnessing the unprecidented openness of the Clinton

Administration

in dealing with similar situations, such as cold war radiation experiments

conducted upon thousands of unsuspecting poor people, Gulf War Syndrome

(increasingly linked to experimental biowarfare vaccines given to a

half-million U.S. troops), and a presidential apology for the racist

Tuskgegee syphilis study from 1932 to 1972, Brotherly Lovers is pursuing a

Congressional hearing rather than a class action.

On June 9, 1969 (the same month as the Stonewall Uprising launched

the Gay

Rights Movement) Pentagon spokesman Dr. Donald MacArthur testified before

Congress:

" Within the next five to ten years, it would probably be possible to

make a

new infective microorganism which could differ in certain important

aspects

from any known disease-causing organism. Most important of these is

that it

might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon

which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious

disease. A

research program to explore the feasibility of this could be completed in

approximately five years at a total cost of $10 million. " (HB 15090,

pg 129)

Indeed, " a disease-causing organism... refractory [resistant] to the

immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to

maintain our

relative freedom from infectious disease " appeared within " 5 to 10 years. "

HIV is the first and only disease to fulfill such a definition.

Proving that AIDS emerged simultaneously in Africa and America in the

late

1970s, Scientific American (March 1996) published, " The African AIDS

Epidemic, " which states: " One frequently mentioned explanation for the

severe epidemic in the AIDS belt is that the virus originated here and

continues to move outward from an epicenter of disease. But AIDS cases

appeared in hospitals in Uganda and Rwanda at the same time they did

in the

West, and no stored human-tissue samples taken from Africans during the

1970s are HIV-positive. "

The earliest cases of AIDS are stored blood samples from New York City in

January 1979 (two months after the beginning of the hepatitis-B vaccine

trials upon gay men from Manhattan.

1984 tests revealed that 6.6% of the 1979 blood-samples were found to be

HIV-positive. By 1985,

66% of the men in the hepatitis-B trial tested HIV-positive.)

In 1990 researchers announced that tissue samples taken in 1959 from a

British sailor named David Carr tested HIV-positive and was widely

touted as

proof that AIDS had existed for decades. However, upon further testing by

America's leading geneticist, Dr. David Ho, it was concluded " that the

material came not from one person but at least two individuals.

Whether that

is an accident or something else we have no way of saying. " (New York

Times,

4/4/95) The researchers responsible for David Carr's false-positive

HIV test

acknowleged it resulted from contamination within their laboratory in a

letter published by the journal Lancet (January 1996). Andrew Bailey and

Gerald Corbitt wrote: " We must conclude that we find no evidence... to

suggest that the 1959 Manchester patient carried HIV. "

Robert Strecker, M.D., Ph.D., and Ted Strecker, Esq., were hired by a

California HMO in 1983 to research the potential impact of AIDS, and

studied

hundreds of scientific journals which led them to conclude that the AIDS

virus was predicted in 1966, requested in 1969, produced in the early

1970s

and unleashed in the late 1970s via smallpox and hepatitis B vaccine

trials

in Africa and America. " The Strecker Memorandum " presents this fully

documented information in a 97-minute video that was sent to every

member of

Congress in 1984, and is available at many alternative bookstores.

Alan Cantwell Jr, M.D. has published two well-documented books, AIDS and

the Doctors of Death (1988) and Queer Blood (1993) outlining the man-made

origin of AIDS. Dr. Cantwell, who has published over 30 papers on his

cancer

microbe research, initially dismissed AIDS biowarfare as absurd until he

investigated the evidence compiled by the Strecker brothers. Queer Blood

won the Benjamin Franklin Book Award in 1994.

William Campbell Douglas, M.D., National Health Federation's 1985

Doctor of

the Year, published AIDS:The End of Civilization, 1989, detailing the

development of HIV by scientists working at the army's biowarfare lab at

Fort Detrick, Maryland.

John Seale, M.D. concludes AIDS was man-made in " Origins of the AIDS

Viruses, HIV-1 and HIV-2: Fact or Fiction? " (The British Journal of the

Royal Society of Medicine 81:617-619, 1988) .

Lieutenant Colonel Thomas E. Bearden (U.S. Army, retired) published AIDS

Biological Warfare in 1988 which maintains that HIV was developed in

American biowarfare labs. Bearden holds a Master of Science degree in

nuclear engineering and a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics, and

heads an aerospace firm in Georgia.

Dr. Leonard Horowitz, DMD, MA, MPH, a Harvard graduate, published

Emerging

Viruses: AIDS & Ebola -- Nature, Accident or Genocide in 1996. OutpostS

Book Review calls it: " The most massive, well-documented assembly of

evidence ever published in support of the idea that the AIDS virus could

have been manufactured as a biological weapon... If you scoff at the

notion,

you won't be so cocky once you see how much evidence exists. "

Washington State Supreme Court Justice William Goodloe (retired) wrote a

letter in 1990 supporting published articles by award-winning journalist,

Peter MacKenzie: " I have heard and seen reports of the possible artificial

origin of the AIDS virus, but until this report have not seen such

compelling evidence of its truth. Mr. MacKenzie has assembled a

remarkable

documentation of heretofore unpublished data, and an immediate

governmental

investigation at the highest level should be commenced. "

Samuel Evans, Chairman of the National Council of Public Auditors,

sent the

following letter to every member of Congress in 1989:

" I address this letter to you requesting a Congressional

investigation into

the 'allegations' that our government is financing research and

development

through genetic heredity engineering to multiply certain viruses to kill

specific racial groups...The multitude of allegations, statements, news

articles and personal testimony demands prompt clarification. For

instance,

it is alleged:

1. That Col. David L. Huxsoll, commander of the U.S. Army Research

Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md., has received $60

million for research in biological ethnic weapons.

2. That it might be possible to wage ethnic warfare by developing

substances that affect one race more than another. According to Newsweek

magazine, Jan. 16, 1989, an example would include 'Valley fever, which is

much more likely to kill blacks than whites.' Another substance, developed

at a southern California university, is believed to kill only people with

melanin in their skin.

3. That it is a coincidence that Fort Detrick, which is where Col.

Huxsoll's biological research is being conducted, is also the site of AIDS

research....

These allegations go to the very root of our constitutional form of

government and basic world human rights, and must be responded to by

elected

governmental officials on all levels. Nothing less than a Congressional

hearing and investigation that may lead to a full world conference in the

United Nations is needed to clarify and defuse the alleged mentally

deranged

plan of world depopulation by ethnic weapons. " (Published in the Executive

Intelligence Review, 3/17/89)

The Report of the President's Chemical Warfare Commission admits, " The

rapid advances of genetic technology -- in which the US for now is

fortunately the leader -- offer the predictable likelihood of new agents

being developed for which no vaccines or counteragents are known or

available. " (Govt. Printing Office, 1985)

Erwin Chargaff, Professor Emeritus of Columbia University and

recipient of

the National Medal of Science for his work with DNA, warned of such

research: " I should say that the spreading of experimental cancer may be

confidently expected. " (New York Times Magazine, 8/22/76)

The Foundation for Economic Trends, in a 1987 lawsuit, forced the

Department of Defense to divulge its operation of 127 chemical and

biological warfare research sites in the U.S., including universities and

corporations, as reported by Science Magazine (2/27/87).

The New Delhi Patriot (India), on July 4, 1984, was the first

newspaper in

the world to run a story claiming AIDS was created in a U.S. Biological

Warfare Lab (contrary to FBI disinformation that the story originated as

Soviet propaganda).

The Literaturnya Gazeta (U.S.S.R.) first reported that the U.S.

military of

bioengineered AIDS sixteen months later, on October 30, 1985.

The Sunday Express (London) interviewed the American doctor who was the

first to state publically that AIDS was bioengineered: Robert Strecker,

M.D., Ph.D. (10/26/86) All sources cited by Strecker are from respected

medical and scientific journals (Bulletin of the United Nations World

Health

Journal of General Virology 42:1-26, 1979, etc).

The New York Native was the first American paper to report the story,

quoting an anonymous source who worked for the Fort Detrick Biological

Warfare Lab in Bethesda, Maryland, and claimed that the AIDS biowarfare

program was called " Operation Firm Hand. " (4/13/87)

The New York Times reported that " Fort Detrick was the Army's biological

warfare development center until 1969 and is now the site of some

AIDS-related research. " (4/8/87) It is strange that the Pentagon's

biowarfare lab would be converted into an AIDS research lab. A comment

by a

Fort Detrick official published in the Philadelphia Daily News implies

that

the lab is involved in much more than researching the cause and

treatment of

AIDS. Col. David L. Huxsoll told a meeting of scientists, " studies at the

Army laboratories have shown that the AIDS virus would be an extremely

poor

biological warfare agent. " (2/18/87) Yet, the latest government study

shows

AIDS to be a very good selective killer.

The National Research Council concluded, " HIV infection and AIDS will

remain limited to specific geographic areas and risk groups identified at

the beginning of the epidemic: gay men and more particularly an

ever-growing

population of urban, drug-addicted, poverty-ridden, malnourished, hopeless

and medically deprived people. " (The Wall Street Journal, 3/17/93)

Tony Brown's Journal, the longest-running black public affairs program on

PBS, aired a four-part series on man-made AIDS: " The First AIDS

Whistle-Blower " with Dr. Strecker (#1214); " What Causes AIDS " with Dr.

Cantwell (#1215); " Is AIDS A Biological Experiment? " with Dr. Leonard Cole

(#1217); and " Is AIDS Man-made? " with Dr. Rudolph Jackson (#1132).

Bill Cosby stated his belief that AIDS was man-made on CNN, Thanksgiving

1991. Polls show two-thirds of African Americans believe AIDS to be

man-made.

The London Times ran a front page story, " SMALLPOX VACCINE TRIGGERED

AIDS

VIRUS, " (5/11/87) in which two World Health Organization officials

connected

the outbreak of AIDS in Africa to the 1977 smallpox vaccination program.

This important story never appeared in any mainstream U.S. news media. Nor

has the 1979 New York City hepatitis B vaccine trial blood samples

containing the first confirmed cases of AIDS.

A Higher Form of Killing, the 1982 underground bestseller by journalists

Robert Harris and Jeremy Paxman, documents hundreds of incidents in which

the U.S. Army admittedly experimented upon soldiers and civilians with

chemicals and viruses in cities such as San Francisco. Current

congressional

hearings reveal deadly radiation experiments were conducted on countless

unconsenting citizens by the U.S. military during the 1950s, '60s and

'70s.

Dr. Garth Nicolson, who works for the largest cancer center in the world

and has authored over 400 scientific papers, notes " very strong evidence

that the Gulf War syndrome is caused in part by infectious microbes

specially modified for biological warfare. The type of mycoplasma we

identified was highly unusual and it almost certainly couldn't occur

naturally. It has one gene from the HIV-1 virus -- but only one gene. This

meant it was almost certainly an artificially modified microbe. When we

looked at the history of mycoplasma research we found evidence that the

military had funded vaccine testing in a Texas prison well before the Gulf

War. When we checked with the prison we learned that many of the prisoners

involved -- plus prison guards and family members -- were currently

ill with

the same symptoms as Gulf War syndrome. Further, we were able to study

samples of these prisoners' blood and found that they were infected

with the

same unique mycoplasma that was infecting 50,000 Gulf War veterans. I

am the

author of some of the most important scientific papers published in

the last

20 years. Yet, since we have been working on this issue we've encountered

many attempts to block papers and articles from publication and our mail,

phone and fax have been intercepted. " (Dr. Nicolson, Tel: 714-476-0204,

Direct: 714-476-7933, Fax: 714-757-0419.)

U.S. Representative Pat Schroeder (D. Colo.) responded to Dr. Nicolson's

research: " This country cannot stand another cover-up.... Now we have a

respected scientist with very impressive professional credentials who says

he not only identified the cause of Gulf War syndrome, but he knows how to

cure it as well. And this vital information is being ignored by the

Pentagon

and the Department of Veteran's Affairs. That's outrageous! This matter

should be thoroughly investigated by the House National Security

Committee.

I plan to request such an investigation. "

Brotherly Lovers Of Original Democracy, founded 1994 in Philidelphia, is
