Was AIDS engineered?

AIDS Timeline...

Was this really the first case of HIV infection which means HIV somehow managed to stay dormant for almost 20 years, or was it really planted evidence in an attempt to squash AIDS conspiracy theories?

► Researchers trace first HIV case to 1959 in the Belgian Congo

HIV probably originated in the late 1940s or early 1950s, and showed up in people 10 to 20 years earlier than has previously been estimated, researchers said Tuesday.
Dr. David Ho and colleagues from the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York told a conference they traced the very first case of HIV infection to a man living in what was then the Belgian Congo in 1959.
The scientists found HIV in a blood sample taken from the man, who was a member of the Bantu tribe. The HIV in the sample looks like an ancestor of several subtypes of HIV now found around the world, suggesting that HIV "evolved from a single introduction into the African population in a time frame not long before 1959," the researchers said.

The 1959 victim, who lived in Leopoldville, now Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, had first turned up at a clinic with symptoms resembling sickle cell anemia -- a hereditary blood disease that primarily affects Africans in which oddly-shaped red blood cells clump together, causing anemia, blood clotting and joint pain.
Doctors kept samples of the man's blood, and Ho's team analyzed it. Using well-established genetic dating methods, they determined that the virus could not have existed for many years before 1959.
Fauci said the research refutes various "conspiracy theories" that HIV is the by-product of Cold War germ warfare tests or poorly-conducted polio vaccine tests.

Scientists have yet to learn how HIV first infected humans. Many viruses come from animals, and HIV is believed to have come from monkeys -- but it is not clear how." - CNN (02/03/98)

Scientist Find 1959 AIDS Case

"Scientists have pinpointed what is believed to be the earliest known case of AIDS -- an African man who died in 1959 -- and say the discovery suggests the virus first infected people in the 1940s or early '50s.
Where AIDS came from is still a mystery, although experts assume an ancestor of the virus crossed from monkeys or other primates into people at some point.
Until now, the earliest, undisputed cases of AIDS were from the late 1960s and involved members of a family in Norway, Ho said.
In the new study, scientists looked for signs of HIV in 1,213 blood samples that were gathered in Africa between 1959 and 1982. They found clear signs of the virus in one taken from a Bantu man who lived in Leopoldville, Belgian Congo -- what is now Kinshasa, Congo -- in 1959.
The virus in the sample had degraded, but the scientists were able to isolate four small fragments of two viral genes.
HIV has mutated over the years to form 10 distinct subtypes, lettered A through J. One of these, subtype B, is the dominant strain in the United States and Europe, while subtype D is most common in Africa.
Zhu said this suggests that all the HIV subtypes evolved from one introduction of HIV into people, rather than from many crossovers from animals to humans, as some have speculated.
A few years ago, British researchers reported that a Manchester sailor, who also died in 1959, was the oldest case. However, Ho's group provided evidence that the HIV in that man's blood was actually contamination that entered the sample long after he died.
The study also does not explain how AIDS spread and became an epidemic.
However, the researchers speculated that it could have been unwittingly transmitted in Africa through unsterilized needles used in vaccination campaigns.
Other potential factors that could have hastened the spread include the end of colonial rule and the introduction of automobiles and shanty towns." - NY Times (02/03/98) [Reprinted at:  ishipress.com]

AZT, or zidovudine, is developed as an anticancer drug. - infoplease.com

Zidovudine (INN) or azidothymidine (abbreviated to AZT) is an antiretroviral drug, the first antiviral treatment to be approved for use against HIV. It is also sold under the names Retrovir and Retrovis, and as an ingredient in Combivir and Trizivir.

Jerome Horowitz first synthesized AZT in 1964, under a US National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant. It was originally intended to treat cancer, but failed to show efficacy and had an unacceptably high side effect profile. The drug then faded from view until February 1985, when NIH's Hiroaki Mitsuya demonstrated the drug's effectiveness against HIV, due to its ability to block the action of the "reverse transcriptase" enzyme that HIV uses to replicate its RNA for splicing into the DNA of a target cell.
The formula was soon purchased by Burroughs-Wellcome (now GlaxoSmithKline), which filed for a patent on AZT in 1986. The Food and Drug Administration approved the drug for use against HIV on March 20, 1987, and then as a preventive treatment in 1990. - Wikipedia

Is this 1970 DoD appropriations bill the start of the funding for the U.S. military to engineer AIDS?

Does this "1971 Flowchart" prove that AIDS was man-made?

"The 1971 flowchart makes it perfectly clear, the design, intent and purpose of the U.S. Special Virus program. As Dr. Peter Piot, Executive Director of UNAIDS says, the HIV/AIDS virus is the result of many steps in the laboratory, it was no accident.
The 1971 flowchart provides absolute evidence of the United States' intent to kill its own citizens and others." - Dr. Boyd E. Graves

► October 18, 1971 – President Nixon converted the Army's former biological warfare facilities at Fort Detrick, Md., to house research activities on the causes, treatment and prevention of cancer. - NIH

The expansion of the NIH and the passage of the National Cancer Act in 1971 led to the creation of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a part of the NIH. Gallo was appointed head of the new laboratory. He had become intrigued with the possibility that certain kinds of cancer had viral origins, and he set up his new laboratory to study human retroviruses. Retroviruses are types of viruses which possess the ability to penetrate other cells and splice their own genetic material into the genes of their hosts, eventually taking over all of their reproductive functions. At the time Gallo began his work, retroviruses had been found in animals; the question was whether they existed in humans. His research involved efforts to isolate a virus from victims of certain kinds of leukemia, and he and his colleagues were able to view a retrovirus through electron microscopes. - PBS

Doesn't National Security Study Memorandum 200 titled "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests", a policy which the U.S. government adopted in 1975 by President Gerald Ford to control the world's population growth, give further evidence that the U.S. was willing to create a lethal biological agent such as AIDS to kill off large numbers of the world's population?

Local copy of National Security Study Memorandum 200

► National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM200) was completed on December 10, 1974 by the U.S. National Security Council under the direction of Henry Kissinger. Its full title is National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests. It was adopted as official U.S. policy by President Gerald Ford in November of 1975. It was originally classified, but was later declassified and obtained by researchers in the early 1990s.
The basic thesis of the memorandum was that population growth in the Lesser developed countries (LDCs) was a threat to U.S. national security, because it would tend to speed the development and industrialization of their economies, making them stronger, more self-sufficient, and more apt to consume their own raw materials. These raw materials were considered to be strategically important to the U.S. economy.
13 countries are named in the report as particularly problematic with respect to U.S. security interests: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil.
The report advocates the promotion of contraception and other population reduction measures. It also raises the question of whether the U.S. should consider withholding food supplies to states that are deemed too lax in pursuing population control measures. The report advises, "In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion." -Wikipedia

► Dr. Robert C. Gallo and Robert E. Gallagher announced that they had discovered a human leukemia virus, but other laboratories were unable to replicate their results. Scientists to whom they had sent samples for independent confirmation had found two different retroviruses not from humans, but from animals. The samples had been contaminated by viruses from a monkey or a chimp and the idea that a virus could cause cancer was publicly ridiculed. - PBS

"...the Bush family and the administration have too many ties to Eli Lilly. There's President Bush's father, who sat on the company's board in the 1970's; White House budget director Mitch Daniels, once an Eli Lilly executive; and Eli Lilly CEO Sidney Taurel, who serves on the president's homeland security advisory council." - CBS (12/12/02)

Hearsay...

► Rare Cancer Seen in 41 Homosexuals

"Doctors in New York and California have diagnosed among homosexual men 41 cases of a rare and often rapidly fatal form of cancer. Eight of the victims died less than 24 months after the diagnosis was made.
The cause of the outbreak is unknown, and there is as yet no evidence of contagion. But the doctors who have made the diagnoses, mostly in New York City and the San Francisco Bay area, are alerting other physicians who treat large numbers of homosexual men to the problem in an effort to help identify more cases and to reduce the delay in offering chemotherapy treatment.
The sudden appearance of the cancer, called Kaposi's Sarcoma, has prompted a medical investigation that experts say could have as much scientific as public health importance because of what it may teach about determining the causes of more common types of cancer." - NY Times (07/03/81)

► "Outbreaks of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and a rare cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, are reported by doctors in Los Angeles, California, and New York among gay male patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States publishes news of the outbreaks. The syndrome is referred to as GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency)." - CNN Interactive

Despite the humiliation Dr. Robert C. Gallo suffered and the damage this premature announcement did to his reputation, he continued his efforts to isolate a human retrovirus. He turned his attention to T-cells, white blood cells which are an important part of the body's immune system, and developed a substance called T-cell growth factor (later called interleukin-2), which would sustain them outside the human body. The importance of this growth factor was that it enabled Gallo and his team to sustain cancerous T-cells long enough to discover whether a retrovirus existed within them. These techniques allowed Gallo and his team to isolate a previously unknown virus from a leukemia patient. He named the virus human T-cell leukemia virus, or HTLV, and he published this finding in SCIENCE in 1981. This time his findings were confirmed, and as Michael Specter noted in the NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS, Gallo was "transformed from a loser to a star." - PBS

► April 1984 – An NCI scientist, Dr. Robert C. Gallo, reported the isolation of a new group of viruses found in the helper T-cells of patients with AIDS or pre-AIDS symptoms, as well as from healthy individuals at high risk for developing AIDS. These viruses were ultimately named human immunodeficiency virus or HIV. This discovery made the control of blood-product-transmitted AIDS feasible by enabling the development of a simple test for the detection of AIDS-infected blood by blood banks and diagnostic laboratories. - NIH

Dr. Robert C. Gallo tried throughout 1983 to get the AIDS virus to grow in culture, using the same growth factor that had worked in growing HTLV, but he was not successful. Finally, a member of Gallo's group named Mikulas Popovic developed a method to grow the virus in a line of T-cells. The method consisted, in effect, of mixing samples from various patients into a kind of a cocktail, using perhaps ten different strains of the virus at a time, so there was a higher chance that one would survive. This innovation allowed the virus to be studied, and observing the similarities to the retroviruses he had previously discovered, Gallo called it HTLV-3. In 1984, he and his colleagues published their findings in SCIENCE. Gallo and the other scientists in his laboratory were able to establish that this virus caused AIDS, and they developed a blood test for the virus. In a 1993 issue of NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, Nicholas Wade writes: "After twelve grim years, Gallo's blood test is still the only weapon of real value that scientists have yet managed to devise against this baffling disease." - PBS

"The U.S. government announces that Dr. Robert Gallo at the federal National Cancer Institute has isolated a virus called HTLV-III that causes AIDS. (Two years later, it is determined that LAV and HTLV-III are the same virus; an international committee gives it a new name -- human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV).
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services predicts that an AIDS vaccine will be ready for human testing within two years." - CNN Interactive

Is this U.S. patented invention that was filed in 1984 the process that produces the AIDS virus?

► United States Patent: 4,647,773
Gallo, et al. * March 3, 1987

Method of continuous production of retroviruses (HTLV-III) from patients with AIDS and pre-AIDS

Abstract
A cell system is disclosed for the reproducible detection and isolation of human T-lymphotropic retroviruses (HTLV-family) with cytopathic effects (HTLV-III) from patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), pre-AIDS and in healthy carriers. One neoplastic aneuploid T-cell line derived from an adult with lymphoid leukemia, and termed HT, was susceptible to infection with the new variants of HTLV, which are transformed and providing T-cell populations which are highly susceptible and permissive from HTLV-III, and convenience for large scale production, isolation and biological detection of the virus.

"AIDS' relentless adversary: some think medical pioneer Robert Gallo is the Einstein of biology. To others he's an arrogant fraud and a scientific thief" -US News & World Report (06/03/91) [Reprinted at:  findarticles.com]

Scientific fraud - includes a list of the ten most famous science frauds
"On an early spring afternoon in March 1987, two scientists hunched over a small desk in a hotel room in Frankfurt, Germany - the pair pressured by their governments to end more than two years of bitter battles over who first isolated the AIDS virus. Robert Gallo, one of the National Institutes of Health's most powerful and protected superstars, and Luc Montagnier, as virologist with Paris' Pasteur, Institute, hammered out a "definitive" scientific history" of their stunning achievements.
The account that emerged from the hotel-room meeting spawned an agreement between the French and American governments. Montagnier and Gallo would share the credit for the discovery and their governments would jointly patent the rights to the test for detecting the AIDS virus. Officially, the occasion marked the end of a controversy that erupted in 1985 when evidence surfaced that Gallo's AIDS-causing HIV virus was virtually the genetic twin of a virus sent to him in 1983 by Montagnier. The matter rested, however, until 1989 when the Chicago Tribune published a 50,000-word expose on Robert Gallo that finally prodded federal investigators to probe more deeply into the events in his lab in 1983.
Now one of the more ignominious chapters in the annals of science appears to be grinding to a conclusion. A blue-ribbon scientific panel, set up to monitor an internal NIH investigation of the affair, accused Gallo of "intellectual recklessness of a high degree." The panel members, nominated by the National Academy of Sciences, critized Gallo for his failure to acknowledge having grown and studied an AIDS virus sent to him by the French. Gallo is also the target of a federal inquiry investigating charges of perjury and patent fraud related to his patent application for the AIDS test.
As Omni went to press, the NIH was reportedly ready to clear Gallo of charges of misconduct. The unpublished report addresses--and ultimately rejects--most of the charges against Gallo. The resolution, however, is tainted by years of acrimony and the wrenching downfall of Gallo, one of the giants of science and the only scientist ever to win two Albert Lasker awards, perhaps our nation's most prestigious biomedical honor." -Omni (06/92) [Reprinted at:  findarticles.com]

Antelman October 14, 1997

Method of curing AIDS with tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices

Abstract
The diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4) is utilized for destroying the AIDS virus, destroying AIDS synergistic pathogens and immunity suppressing moieties (ISM) in humans. A single intravenous injection of the devices is all that is required for efficacy at levels of about 40 PPM of human blood. The device molecular crystal contains two mono and two trivalent silver ions capable of "firing" electrons capable of electrocuting the AIDS virus, pathogens and ISM. When administered into the bloodstream, the device electrons will be triggered by pathogens, a proliferating virus and ISM, and when fired will simultaneously trigger a redox chelation mechanism resulting in divalent silver moieties which chelate and bind active sites of the entities destroying them. The devices are completely non-toxic. However, they put stress on the liver causing hepatomegaly, but there is no loss of liver function.

AIDS is man-made - Interview with Dr. Boyd Graves
By FinalCall.com News
Updated Oct 5, 2004
"Sultan Muhammad (SM): Your research reports that there was/is a cure for AIDS.
Boyd Graves (BG): Absolutely. The Flow Chart has five phases. In Phase IV A are immunological controlled experiments where they developed the inhibitors, the vaccines, as well as the cure for HIV/AIDS before it was released. There is a cure for AIDS patented in, I believe, October 1997, a one-time injection that eradicates the HIV/AIDS in the blood system without any side effects.
SM: Were you diagnosed with AIDS?
BG: I had a diagnosis. There is some speculation that it might even have been false-positive. There are many conditions. One of the conditions that I had at that time allowed, for Black people in particular, to test false-positive for HIV/AIDS, whereby you were placed on medicines with tremendous side effects. These medicines led to liver failure that killed a number of persons.
In November 2001, I took the U.S. patented cure and, for the last 33 months from a physical standpoint, have been in the midst of rejuvenation.
Therefore, we do know that the cure is available; it works; we believe it is suppressed simply because not enough people have been killed yet.
SM: What is this cure called?
BG: Tetrasil. It has a second name, which is Imusil. The patent number is 5676977.
SM: Who has the patent on this drug?
BG: The patent was issued to Rabbi Dr. Marvin Antelman of Morantech Corporation in Providence, Rhode Island. In my research and contact with Rabbi Dr. Antelman, he told me he had a college relationship with Dr. Gallo, who had stolen something that he and others had been working on. That led me to think that perhaps Dr. Antelman was given the AIDS cure as a payback by Dr. Gallo. There is a connection between the AIDS invention and the AIDS cure patent program."

U.S. GOVT. CREATED THE AIDS VIRUS!
'Between 1964 & 1978, the secret federal virus program spent $550 million of taxpayer money to invent AIDS,' says California attorney!
The U.S. government created the deadly AIDS virus as a way of wiping out blacks and other minorities around the world, says a researcher who's fought for 10 years to bring his eye-opening charge to light.
Boyd E. Graves, a lawyer and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, says he has "irrefutable evidence of the United States' secret plan to cull world populations by unleashing a stealth biological microorganism."
Graves insists the AIDS virus was developed in an ultrasecret government project called the Special Virus Program.
"We believe HIV is the product of intent. We believe AIDS is the product of design," he said in a telephone interview last month from New York City, before addressing the Black African Holocaust Conference.
According to a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, African-Americans account for 38 percent of all AIDS cases in this country -- yet they represent only 12 percent of the population. And the disease has attacked millions of people in Africa, which has suffered from the pandemic more than anywhere else in the world.
AIDS is one of the most important weapons in the government arsenal of biological terrorism, declares Graves. He has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in San Diego demanding an open review of the facts he's uncovered, including the two most shocking elements:
  • A Special Virus Flow Chart that details the government's "coordinated research program to develop a cancer virus that depletes the immune system."
  • A photograph of a manmade virus that's virtually identical to the AIDS virus. Yet this photograph was shot in 1971 -- 14 years before the known AIDS virus was discovered.
Graves also has documents from government and scientific leaders, which reveal sinister intentions on the part of scientists and government leaders.
A 1948 memo from a top State Department official, for instance, urges colleagues to "get on with the task of dealing with the burgeoning populations of the Third World."
For those who think the U.S. government would never do such a terrible thing to any of its people, Graves offers as evidence the horrendous revelations about the Tuskeegee Project.
In that infamous program, which began in 1932, government researchers secretly infected black men with syphilis so they could study the disease -- even after a cure had been found.
"Between 1964 and 1978, the secret federal virus program spent $550 million of taxpayer money to invent AIDS," Graves writes on his Web site, www.boydgraves.com.
"It is now necessary to spend whatever it takes to dismantle an invention that has led to the greatest crime against humanity in the history of the world," he declares." -Weekly World News (12/30/02)

The Man Behind The Vaccine Mystery

"Just before President Bush signed the homeland security bill into law an unknown member of Congress inserted a provision into the legislation that blocks lawsuits against the maker of a controversial vaccine preservative called "thimerosal," used in vaccines that are given to children.
Drug giant Eli Lilly and Company makes thimerosal. It's the mercury in the preservative that many parents say causes autism in thousands of children...

But nobody in Congress would admit to adding the provision, reports CBS News Correspondent Jim Acosta – until now.
House Majority Leader Dick Armey tells CBS News he did it to keep vaccine-makers from going out of business under the weight of mounting lawsuits.

"Critics say the Bush family and the administration have too many ties to Eli Lilly. There's President Bush's father, who sat on the company's board in the 1970's; White House budget director Mitch Daniels, once an Eli Lilly executive; and Eli Lilly CEO Sidney Taurel, who serves on the president's homeland security advisory council." - CBS (12/12/02)

U.S. Attorney General hiding U.S. Special Virus Program says activist
"Human rights activist Boyd E. Graves was served copy of U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft's June 12, 2003 reply to his federal lawsuit compelling the United States provide the full and immediate disclosure of The U.S. Special Virus Program late Friday afternoon.
"Ashcroft is seeking to further hide the formerly secret U.S. Special Virus Program and the evidence of the laboratory birth of AIDS," Graves said referring to the U.S. Attorney General’s response to his complaint which seeks review of over 20,000 federal virus development papers.
Graves has survived 11 years of HIV infection and alleges the laboratory birth of AIDS inside a recently declassified government virus program called The U.S. Special Virus. Graves, who has filed multiple petitions seeking an immediate review of a formerly secret federal virus development initiative since 1998, said HIV/AIDS is the product of The U.S. Special Virus Program.
“We believe the review of the 15 progress reports of the U.S. Special Virus Program will garner our best opportunity to begin the process of dismantling another federal program of human subject experimentation gone awry,” Graves said. “The United States must account to the American people and the people of the world for the U.S. Special Virus Program.”
Graves did not discuss the details of the government’s latest reply brief. U.S. Justice Department officials were unreachable for comment late Friday afternoon. Graves said the federal petition for full disclosure of the U.S. Special Virus Program will continue.
Graves v. United States {02 CV 02396} is scheduled for opening arguments on June 27, 2003 during open court proceedings in the U.S. District Court for Southern California before Clinton era appointee Judge Jeffrey T. Miller." -BoydGraves.com (06/13/03)

Suit alleges government created AIDS
"Boyd Graves, an Annapolis graduate who put himself through law school, is convinced the U.S. government created AIDS in a secret program aimed at killing African-Americans.
Today, at San Diego's federal courthouse, he will get his day in court.
Graves is suing the United States for allegedly failing to hand over documents under the Freedom of Information Act that he says prove the government is behind the AIDS pandemic.
"This is a modern-day David vs. Goliath battle," said Graves, 50, an AIDS activist who lives in Normal Heights and represents himself in the federal lawsuit.
"The paper trail does exist. These are official documents."
Graves contends that AIDS is the product of decades of ultra-classified government research into developing a race-specific virus that attacks and kills blacks.
He compares the project to the eugenics movement early last century, when scientists and others advocated "racial hygiene" – a practice that in Germany led to Nazis working to eliminate Jews.
Graves, who is black, is not alone in his suspicions. Across the Internet, there is chatter about the origin of AIDS – theories that include CIA plots and vaccine programs run amok.
AIDS now ranks as the fifth-leading cause of death in the United States among men and women between ages 24 and 44. It is the top killer of black men in the same age group.
Graves spends much of his time outlining his allegations on his Web site and putting his law degree from Ohio Northern University to work on the lawsuit. He does not practice law professionally and is not a member of the California bar.
In addition to the conspiracy charges, Graves accuses the government of suppressing a cure that could save millions of lives.
The remedy worked for him, he claims. In 1992, he found out that he was HIV-positive. Nineteen months ago, he says, he took a one-time "infusion" and has been symptom-free ever since, without any further medications.
Filed Dec. 6 as Boyd E. Graves vs. The United States of America et al., the suit revolves around a "flow chart" that maps HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, and which Graves believes is stored somewhere in the archives of the National Cancer Institute.
"The flow chart proves that this was not an accident," Graves said in an interview. "This was an intentional development of a special virus."
Graves also is seeking copies of "progress reports" that he contends detail successes in the secret program, and an audiotape titled "Virus Makers of the CIA," in which, he contends, government experts discuss the plot.
The records "will provide absolute proof of the true laboratory origin of HIV, a 'synthetic biological agent' destined for a certain receptor site in certain people," his suit says.
However, legal experts said lawsuits against the government not only keep public officials honest, they also can play a critical role in maintaining the checks and balances built into the democratic system.
Stiglitz cited several cases in which government leaders sought to cover up dubious research or activities, including forced sterilization of the "feeble," the Tuskegee syphilis study, and stockpiling by the FBI of files on private citizens.
The lack of definitive answers regarding the origin of AIDS makes it harder to dismiss seemingly outrageous claims. Researchers have been trying for years, without success, to isolate the specific beginnings of the virus.
The first cases were diagnosed in a group of five gay men in Los Angeles in 1981. Two patients died unexpectedly, and many more cases followed. Something clearly was attacking the men's immune systems.
By the end of 2002, about 42 million people were infected worldwide, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said. Approximately 70 percent of the people with HIV or AIDS live in Africa; President Bush has pushed for billions of dollars of new aid to Africa to fight the disease.
Ten percent of blacks polled in New York City in 1990 said the AIDS virus was "deliberately created in a laboratory in order to infect black people," according to a New York Times survey. An additional 19 percent said they believed the theory might be true." -San Diego Union-Tribune (07/03/03)

► AIDS activist loses secret-virus suit
"A federal judge has ruled in favor of the United States in a civil lawsuit brought by a San Diego AIDS activist who accused the government of developing the deadly disease in a secret-virus program.
Judge Jeffrey T. Miller signed an order granting the motion for summary judgment within hours of the U.S. District Court hearing Thursday. The document was filed Monday.
In his five-page ruling, Miller said the National Cancer Institute and other federal agencies made reasonable efforts to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request from Boyd E. Graves, who sought government records he said would prove the United States was behind the AIDS pandemic.
Graves, 50, is a law school graduate who has been HIV-positive for more than a decade. He vowed to file new public-records requests that are more specific.
"It is clear that the government is taking the long road in bringing to the surface the secret-virus program, but we will continue," he said yesterday." -San Diego Union-Tribune (07/09/03)

Nobel peace laureate claims HIV deliberately created
Kenyan ecologist Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, today reiterated her claim that the AIDS virus was a deliberately created biological agent.
"Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.
"Us black people are dying more than any other people in this planet," Ms Maathai told a press conference in Nairobi a day after winning the prize for her work in human rights and reversing deforestation across Africa.
"It's true that there are some people who create agents to wipe out other people. If there were no such people, we could have not have invaded Iraq," she said.
"We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam Hussein had made, or was in the process of creating agents of biological warfare," said Ms Maathai.
"In fact it (the HIV virus) is created by a scientist for biological warfare," she added.
"Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious," Ms Maathai said.
Africa accounts for 25 million out of the estimated 38 million across the world infected with HIV, and the vast majority of infected Africans are women, according to UNAIDS estimates.
The United States on Friday congratulated Ms Maathai on winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but tempered its praise over her claims about AIDS.
"She said (HIV/AIDS) was invented as a bio-weapon in some laboratory in the West," a senior State Department official said.
"We don't agree with that."
The official pointed to a report of those comments published in August in Kenya's daily Standard newspaper, in which Ms Maathai was quoted as saying that HIV/AIDS was created by scientists for the purpose of mass extermination." -Australian Broadcasting Corp/AFP (10/09/04)

"It is easy to understand why researchers might want to obscure the man-made origin for AIDS and blame primates. It is now apparent that most of the major researchers promoting the African primate origin of AIDS were connected with the largely secret Special Virus Cancer Program, or are scientists involved in the transfer of viruses in animal research, particularly primate research."-- Dr Cantwell MD
