BioApocalypse:
How Secret Experiments May Have Unleashed Cancer Causing Viruses
By Leonard Horowitz
The American people, along with the rest of the world’s population, have
been under attack by insidious lethal enemies. Most people cannot perceive
or conceive that shadow governors are engaged in hideous biological and
chemical experiments on unwitting populations. Minority and ethnic groups
especially at risk for toxic exposures, many being done in the name of
“public health.”
The recent widescale spraying of malathion and Anvil, two known chemical
carcinogens and immune system toxins, to allegedly prevent West Nile Virus
attacks within several northeastern American states, is just one example of
such “public health policy” based on no rational science. Most people are
incapable of realising the scope and depth of such crimes against humanity.
Perceiving, rather, their impotence in altering the course of history, and
fearing the fight of a crusade, people rationalise their inefficacy or
indifference in human terms – “Don’t tell me. That’s just the way it is.
I can’t do anything about it anyway, so I’d rather not know.”
During the past two decades, at least six internationally known authorities
advanced theories that the AIDS virus (HIV-1) was developed by biological
weapons researchers, and either accidentally or intentionally transmitted
it with the help of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) and the
United Nations World Health Organisation (WHO). A 1969 US military
appropriations document obtained through the Freedom of Information Act
called for $10 million for the development of AIDS-like viruses by 1975. In
fact the National Academy of Sciences / National Research Council had
informed the Department of Defense (DOD) that:
[I]t would probably be possible to make a new infective microorganism
which could differ in certain important aspects from any known
disease-causing organisms. 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.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, these agencies, with help from the World
Health Organisation (WHO), the (US) National Cancer Institute (NCI), and
the Rockefeller and Alfred P. Sloan Foundations played leading roles in the
development of cancer viruses for vaccine research and germ warfare. By
1969, the WHO had provided “prototype virus strains” for more than 592
virus laboratories in more than 35 different countries. That year, four of
the most active centres, including the NCI and US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), distributed 2,514 strains of viruses, 1888
ampoules of experimental vaccines, and about 100 samples of cell cultures
throughout the WHO’s viral network. 70,000 virus isolations were reported
by 1970, and many, cultured for further study, were breaking out of the
laboratories that tested them.
In March of 1970, WHO consultants even reported the likelihood of massive
cancer epidemics from such virus outbreaks. Such “biological agents,” they
noted, “may be used... to achieve the simultaneous infection of key groups
of people, and the military consequences might well be of major
importance....” However, they warned of the “calculated risk that a
virulent mutant might appear and spread rapidly to produce an
uncontrollable epidemic on a large scale....”
These consultants also predicted that as a consequence of such biological
attacks, “mass illnesses, deaths, and epidemics” would require the WHO and
allied agencies to furnish supplies and personnel to deal with the
resulting medical emergencies.
The first viruses and retroviruses used for cancer and biological weapons
research passed through the NCI. Among the premier labs specifically
researching, developing, and testing immune system destroying viruses was
the Cell Tumor Biology Laboratory at the NCI. This was headed by Dr. Robert
Gallo – the notorious alleged co-discoverer of the AIDS virus. To date it
remains uncertain when Gallo discovered HIV. It was reported Gallo’s
discovery followed the French Pasteur Institute’s Luc Montagnier’s
discovery of LAV, an identical virus, in 1984, but new evidence suggests he
may have genetically engineered the virus as early as 1970 along with
biological weapons contractors at Litton Bionetics – a subsidiary of the
mega-military weapons producer Litton Industries, Inc.
Dr. Gallo’s behaviour is, in fact, highly suspicious. As chronicled by
bestselling deceased author Randy Shilts in And the Band Played On, and
more recently by Eleanor Burkitt in The Gravest Show on Earth, Gallo’s
collaborative efforts in search of the AIDS virus were deceitful and
repugnant. The authors’ charged Gallo’s ego was largely responsible for
delaying international progress in search of the AIDS virus. Following his
alleged find, patents were filed on his and the NCI’s behalf keeping the
French from sharing the royalties associated with the AIDS virus, its
culture mediums, cell lines, experimental reagents, and tests associated
with its discovery, diagnosis, and treatment. In an unprecedented act of
politics and misplaced faith, Gallo was pardoned by President Bill Clinton
in 1994 for several counts of misconduct and scientific fraud.Gallo’s
Research Anthology
Gallo’s early publications document his intimate association with Litton
Bionetics – sixth on US Congress’s list of major Army biological weapons
contractors for 1969. The literature describes a vast number of experiments
in which Gallo and co-workers bioengineered simian monkey viruses, which
were humanly benign, to cause a variety of cancers. In fact, Gallo’s focus
was on the principle model used by cancer virus theorists between 1962 and
1972 during the NCI’s generously funded, yet largely secret, “Special
Virus Cancer Program” – the leukemia-lymphoma-sarcoma complex. Leukemias
and lymphomas, which were rare at that time, and Kaposis sarcoma, which was
virtually nonexistent, are now the most common cancers associated with HIV
infection.
During the early 1970s, Gallo’s teams extracted the nucleic acids from
these harmless simian monkey viruses, infused their empty envelopes with
cat leukemia RNA, along with chicken sarcoma RNA, to produce mutants that
produced a laundry list of diseases as seen in AIDS patients today. In
fact, to enable the virus to jump species, Gallo and Litton Bionetics
researchers cultured these newly created germs in human white blood cells
to alter their envelope characteristics. This altered the viruses’ envelop
proteins and allowed the germs to attach to and move through human cell
membranes, ultimately altering the cellular DNA – the blueprint of life.
Most astonishing, in a 1970 publication of the National Academy of
Sciences, Gallo and company celebrated these efforts by offering them to
NATO’s military scientists for further investigation and testing.HIV-1,
HIV-2, and the “Big Bang”
Clearly, the mass of scientific evidence indicates the development of
HIV-1, and its progenitor HIV-2, evolved during the early 1970s.
Allegations that HIV had been found in tissues of people who died with
AIDS-like diseases before that time have been scientifically and wholly
debunked. According to Dr. Gerald Myers, chief molecular geneticist at the
US government’s Los Alamos Laboratory, something major happened in the
early 1970s to convert HIV-2, or similar simian viruses, into HIV-1. This
could easily have resulted from Gallo and Bionetics experiments in which
HIV-2-like viruses were cultured in human WBCs.
During the 1996 National AIDS conference in San Francisco, I asked Dr. Max
Essex, Director of Harvard’s AIDS Institute, and co-discoverer of HIV-2 in
West African women, an important question. “How, other than through
vaccines, might HIV-2, a known simian monkey virus laboratory contaminant,
not found in monkeys in the wild, come to be circulating in African women?”
Vaccines, principally made from monkey serum extracts, and tainted by
man-made monkey virus mutants, occurred to me to be the only plausible
explanation.
Essex explained he did not know. He only informed me how his monkeys became
contaminated. “Other researchers had inoculated them with human tissues
[for various non-HIV related experiments] before they got to our lab,” he
said. In other words, human experiments were again implicated. The question
remained – how did African natives come by HIV-2 and HIV-1 infections in
the first place?
Gallo’s speculation that the AIDS virus, like his earlier leukemia virus
discovery, HTLV-1, naturally jumped species from African green monkey to
man is far-fetched, if not totally absurd, especially in light of what was
done in his and affiliated labs in Bethesda and Northwest Uganda to create
human leukemia, sarcoma, and immune system destroying viruses. Clearly,
these man-made creations most plausibly emerged from NCI and DOD affiliated
laboratories. However, the question of accidental versus genocidal
transmission remains.Early Targeting of Minority America
As many as two-thirds of African Americans recently surveyed believe the
AIDS epidemic may be genocide. Upon what evidence are such beliefs based?
The targeting of gay and civil rights leaders and groups at home and abroad
by the FBI and CIA during and after the McCarthy era is well documented.
The gay rights movement was seen by American intelligence officials, such
as J. Edgar Hoover, as communist inspired. Black nationalist groups and
civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King were likewise considered
communist beneficiaries.
During the late 1960s through the 1980s, the CIA worked to: 1) prevent the
coalition of militant black nationalist groups and the beginning of a “true
black revolution,” and 2) prevent the rise of a black “messiah.” 360
disruptive American intelligence operations developed under the Communist
Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) Black Nationalist Hate Group’s
umbrella, including “Operation Chaos” which ran from 1968 until 1974. Dr.
Henry Kissinger, as National Security Advisor, played a pivotal role in
this program during the Nixon era, personally oversaw major CIA and FBI
intelligence operations, and directed the military chiefs of staff to
consider these perceived threats to national security and world economic
order.
Only days after the DOD requisitioned $10 million from Congress to fund the
development of AIDS-like viruses, on July 29, 1969, the House Republican
committee, chaired by the Honorable George Bush of Texas, cited the urgent
need for population control activities to fend off “a growing Third World
crisis.” Indeed, there was extreme American displeasure with Black African
culture and its growing socialist threat. Africa, particularly the resource
wealthy central African nations, would not be allowed to fall under
communist control. Thus, the roots of Third World foreign policy was
established under Kissinger’s anticommunist direction.
During this period, President Nixon appealed for urgent action for
population control. African economic, military, and “humanitarian”
policies were shaped by Kissinger, Nixon, and later Jimmy Carter to force
compliance with American economic and political objectives. Subsequent
World Bank, NASA, and even National Academy of Sciences (NAS) activities in
Africa expressed the imperialist philosophy. USAID and WHO sponsored
immunisation programs in central Africa, likewise, reflected American
intelligence interests, and were even used by CIA agents to infiltrate the
region. The appointment of Dr. Henry Kissinger in 1968 as National Security
Advisor – the most influential position in the Nixon White House – is
noteworthy. Kissinger’s alternate was Mr. Roy Ash, the President of Litton
Industries – among the world’s largest military weapons contractors, and
parent company of the Army’s biological weapons contracting firm Litton
Bionetics with whom Dr. Robert Gallo of the NCI worked.
Litton military contracts, during the first Nixon administration, exceeded
$5 billion. Litton Bionetics received approximately $2 million a year
during this time under one NCI contract entitled, “Investigations of Viral
Carcinogenesis in Primates.” Another contract called for Bionetics to
supply NCI researchers throughout the world with primates for cancer
studies. At this same time, Congress supplied the DOD with the same
allotment, $2 million a year, for AIDS-like virus development.
Gallo and Bionetics researchers John Landon and Robert Ting directed the
NCI effort whose “proposed course” was the continuation of studies wherein
“an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase [unique enzyme identical to the one found
in human leukemia and AIDS viruses] similar to that associated with RNA
tumour viruses... [would be] isolated, purified and concentrated 200-fold,
making possible its further characterisation and study in relation to the
leukemic process in man... with increased emphasis on monitoring and
intensive care of inoculated animals to determine if active infection
occurs, effects of infection, and degree of immunosuppression when used.”
This was, of course, more than six years before Gallo’s alleged discovery
of HTLV-1, and fourteen years before his alleged discovery of the AIDS
virus. “Further studies of human neoplasms at [the] molecular level will
continue,” the scientists wrote.
And though the researchers added, “inasmuch as tests for the biological
activity of candidate human viruses will not be tested in the human
species,” they clearly intended to develop “another system... for these
determinations and, subsequently for the evaluation of vaccines or other
measures of [cancer] control” in humans.Kissinger’s Contributions
All of this occurred while Henry Kissinger controlled The Defense Program
Review Committee, which considered the funding requests for military
expenditures including biological weapons. Upon taking office as advisor
for national security, Kissinger ordered Melvin Laird to reassess America’s
biological weapons capabilities. His subsequent public urging of Nixon’s
signing of the Geneva Accord, outlawing the use of biological weapons,
contradicted his secret appropriations directives which guaranteed the
CIA’s ability to stockpile biological weapons for covert operations as late
as 1975, and likely beyond.
Between 1969 and 1976, Kissinger also directed the powerful 40 Committee
that authorised covert actions by the CIA in Central Africa in the vicinity
where AIDS and Ebola first broke out. Ebola initially struck
