|
||||
<p>Shocking Revelations on AIDS Research by Our North American
|
||||
Correspondent</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Abdul Alim Muhammad, national spokesman for Minister Louis
|
||||
Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, dropped a bombshell on the
|
||||
nation's capital at a mass rally held at All Souls Unitarian
|
||||
Church on September 8. Although the event had been planned for
|
||||
some time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Washington,
|
||||
D.C. ministry of Dr. Muhammad, he turned the event into a report
|
||||
on his recent fact-finding mission to the African nation of Kenya.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad startled the standing-room-only audience when he
|
||||
announced that a research team working out of the Kenyan Medical
|
||||
Research Institute, led by the Harvard-trained immunologist Dr.
|
||||
David Koech, had made dramatic advances in the treatment of AIDS.
|
||||
Dr. Muhammad also charged that the U.S. government was leading a
|
||||
major effort by the international medical establishment to
|
||||
suppress this groundbreaking research.</p>
|
||||
<p>Among those who packed the church to hear Dr. Muhammad speak on
|
||||
the theme "Can We Survive Genocide," were clergy from several
|
||||
denominations along the East Coast, civil rights leaders,
|
||||
community activists, leaders of the Nation of Islam, elected
|
||||
officials and political leaders from Maryland, Virginia, and the
|
||||
District of Columbia, and hundreds of ordinary citizens. The
|
||||
introduction of Washington's former Mayor Marion Barry - the man
|
||||
on whom the Bush administration spent millions to remove him from
|
||||
office - brought the house to its feet in an extended ovation.</p>
|
||||
<p>A Policy of Genocide</p>
|
||||
<p>In his remarks, Dr. Muhammad quoted extensively from a 1985
|
||||
article authored by Lyndon LaRouche, "The Looming Extinction of
|
||||
the 'White Race'". In that piece, LaRouche documents that the
|
||||
imperial policies intrinsic to oligarchism have set into motion
|
||||
the self-destruction of the population levels and economies of
|
||||
those "white" nations that have complicitly tolerated oligarchical
|
||||
policies - most specifically the United States and Great Britain.
|
||||
LaRouche states that since what the oligarchs call the "Great
|
||||
White Race" is dying out at an accelerating rate, and threatening
|
||||
the supremacy of the Anglo-American financial establishment, we
|
||||
witness a fanatically Malthusian commitment to a policy of
|
||||
genocide directed against people of colour; a genocide consciously
|
||||
implemented through the conditionalities policies of the
|
||||
International Monetary Fund (IMF).</p>
|
||||
<p>"That," Dr. Muhammad charged, "is one of the reasons they've got
|
||||
him locked up; because he's got the guts to tell the truth."</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad went on to present extensive evidence that the policy
|
||||
of deliberate genocide is fully operational. He described the
|
||||
CIA's support for the cause of population control during George
|
||||
Bush's tenure as Director of Central Intelligence, and reported
|
||||
the contents of National Security Memorandum 200, written during
|
||||
the Ford administration, which advised that the preservation of
|
||||
U.S. political and commercial interests "will require that the
|
||||
President and Secretary of State treat the subject of population
|
||||
growth control in the third world as a matter of paramount
|
||||
importance...." To the amazement of the audience, Muhammad
|
||||
identified the authors of the internal memo as Henry Kissinger and
|
||||
Gen. Brent Scowcroft, now Bush's national security adviser. (See
|
||||
The New Dawn Vol.1 No.1, May, 1991)</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad used the case of Brazil, which has the second largest
|
||||
black population in the world, to prove that the memorandum was
|
||||
being implemented. "Today in Brazil, 40% of the women of
|
||||
childbearing age have been surgically sterilized with funds
|
||||
provided by the USAID," he said, "and 90% of those sterilized
|
||||
women are black."</p>
|
||||
<p>He insisted that this genocide was the real agenda of Bush's New
|
||||
World Order; that it not only motivated the invasion of Panama and
|
||||
the kidnapping of Gen. Manuel Noriega, but also the continuing
|
||||
murder of the nation of Iraq. He told the audience that these were
|
||||
just the opening battles in the war of the advanced sector nations
|
||||
of the North against the developing nations of the South. Dr.
|
||||
Muhammad denounced George Bush as a wicked man who cherished his
|
||||
membership in the satanic secret society Skull and Bones. He
|
||||
reminded the audience that the "skull and bones" was also the
|
||||
emblem on the flag flown by the slave traders who raided Africa,
|
||||
as well as of the latter day pirates.</p>
|
||||
<p>AIDS and 'population control'</p>
|
||||
<p>Given the Anglo-American establishment's commitment to mass
|
||||
murder, the effort to suppress the promising research of Dr. Koech
|
||||
and his colleagues should come as no surprise to anyone, the
|
||||
Nation of Islam leader said. In fact, he contended, there is
|
||||
substantial evidence to indicate that AIDS was developed as a
|
||||
race-specific population control measure. Dr. Muhammad ridiculed
|
||||
the theory that AIDS originated when the virus made a species jump
|
||||
from the African green monkey to the African population. "We lived
|
||||
with the green monkey for thousands of years and never had any
|
||||
problems. The green monkey isn't our enemy. The IMF is."</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad, who is a trained surgeon, said he traveled to Kenya
|
||||
to see for himself what the alpha interferon derivative, which
|
||||
goes under the trade name Kemron, was really all about. Dr.
|
||||
Muhammad reported that he interviewed the research team in their
|
||||
laboratory, was permitted to review their data, and to examine
|
||||
AIDS patients currently undergoing treatment with Kemron and with
|
||||
a new, more advanced form of Kemron, the drug Immunex, which
|
||||
contains a greater number of alpha interferon components than the
|
||||
original drug. Dr. Muhammad stressed that although the new drug
|
||||
was only a treatment and not a cure for the deadly HIV virus, he
|
||||
was tremendously hopeful and encouraged by the dramatic
|
||||
improvement in the condition of those undergoing treatment.</p>
|
||||
<p>Dr. Muhammad introduced Dr. Barbara Justice, a well-known New York
|
||||
City-based cancer surgeon who has sent 54 AIDS patients to Kenya
|
||||
for treatment over the past year. Dr. Justice reported that 97% of
|
||||
her patients showed marked improvement within weeks of beginning
|
||||
treatment, and that most were able to regain some degree of
|
||||
normalcy in their ability to function.</p>
|
||||
<p>It has been almost impossible for anyone outside of Kenya
|
||||
administering Kemron on an experimental basis in the to assess the
|
||||
work of the Kenyan team, which has been treatment of AIDS since
|
||||
1989, since it has been systematically blacked out of the
|
||||
scientific literature. Dr. Koech was to present his data, first at
|
||||
the International AIDS Conference in the United States in 1987,
|
||||
and then again at the 1991 AIDS Conference in Italy. On both
|
||||
occasions, his invitation was inexplicably withdrawn.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last year, Dr. Koech decided to take his data directly to the U.S.
|
||||
medical community, and an extensive U.S. lecture tour was planned.
|
||||
That tour was abruptly cancelled when the State Department refused
|
||||
to issue Dr. Koech the necessary permission to enter the United
|
||||
States.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is certainly not the first time that important AIDS research
|
||||
has been suppressed. Quite the contrary, it is part of a
|
||||
continuing criminal pattern of lies and cover-up. The importance
|
||||
of a rapid evaluation of Dr. Koech's work with Kemron and Immunex
|
||||
is obvious. Currently, the only treatment available to AIDS
|
||||
victims is the drug AZT; however, AZT therapy is prohibitively
|
||||
expensive and carries with it extremely destructive side effects,
|
||||
especially with prolonged use. Additionally, a recent study
|
||||
conducted by the U.S. Army showed that, for unexplained reasons,
|
||||
AZT therapy is not only largely ineffective in the treatment of
|
||||
blacks, but that, in fact, AZT seems to aggravate symptoms in an
|
||||
alarming number of black patients.</p>
|
||||
<p>Kenya's President Daniel Arap Moi clearly finds the Koech team's
|
||||
findings to be convincing. He recently announced that his
|
||||
government was building a factory to allow the mass production of
|
||||
alpha interferon.**</p>
|
||||
<p>AIDS - Man-Made Holocaust</p>
|
||||
<p>The fact that AIDS is a man-made virus created in U.S.
|
||||
laboratories has been covered up</p>
|
||||
<p>By JASON JEFFREY</p>
|
||||
<p>"America should withdraw from the Mediterranean, Europe and all
|
||||
foreign bases and it should save that money to create jobs for 12
|
||||
million unemployed Americans, and contribute towards the
|
||||
elimination of the diseases it manufactured like AIDS which was
|
||||
produced by the CIA at its laboratories and tested on American
|
||||
prisoners who took the virus with them to the outside world when
|
||||
released from prison and then it spread throughout the world."
|
||||
- Muammar Al-Qadhafi speaking at the International Conference for
|
||||
Peace in the Mediterranean, 4-6 May, 1990.</p>
|
||||
<p>On July 4, 1984, the Indian daily Patriot published a
|
||||
horrifying report that the disease AIDS was believed to
|
||||
have originated from a virus created in the laboratories
|
||||
at the U.S. germ warfare research institute at Fort
|
||||
Detrick, Maryland. The editor explained that the
|
||||
information had come from a well-known American scientist
|
||||
and anthropologist who expressed the fear that India might
|
||||
face a danger from the disease in the near future. The
|
||||
American had to remain anonymous. He was obviously in
|
||||
danger for having disclosed so deadly a secret. At that
|
||||
time, when the full horror of the incurable disease was
|
||||
not known Patriot reported that the World Health
|
||||
Organisation believed AIDS posed the gravest threat to the
|
||||
entire population of the world. More on the World Health
|
||||
Organisation later. The British Sunday Express, 26
|
||||
October, 1986, with banner headlines, and an "exclusive"
|
||||
label, announced "AIDS made in lab. shock." The front-page
|
||||
story said that the virus was created during laboratory
|
||||
experiments which "went disastrously wrong." It added that
|
||||
a massive cover-up had kept the secret from the world. The
|
||||
Sunday Express quoted a British expert, Dr. John Seale,
|
||||
who first reported his conclusion that the virus was
|
||||
man-made last August, 1986, in the Royal Society of
|
||||
Medicine Journal. He said that his report was met with a
|
||||
"deadly silence" from the medical profession, and that
|
||||
made him very suspicious. The editor of the Journal
|
||||
agreed, according to Dr. Seale, that "it sounded like a
|
||||
conspiracy of silence." The second expert quoted by the
|
||||
Sunday Express, was Prof. Jacob Segal, retired Director of
|
||||
the Institute of Biology in Berlin. It said, "our
|
||||
investigators have revealed that two U.S. Embassy
|
||||
officials made a two-hour visit to Prof. Segal at his home
|
||||
two weeks ago questioning him about what he knows, what he
|
||||
thinks, where he got his information, and what he intends
|
||||
doing with his report." The Professor told the reporters,
|
||||
"one said he was a historian, and the other said he was a
|
||||
political consul. But I am positive they were from the
|
||||
CIA, and that they were deeply concerned that the cover-up
|
||||
over the origin of AIDS was going to be exposed." I told
|
||||
them I had known that in the mid-70s experiments were
|
||||
being carried out at Fort Detrick, where the U.S. Army
|
||||
Medical Research Command has its headquarters, on
|
||||
volunteer long-term prisoners who were promised their
|
||||
freedom after the tests. Almost certainly the scientists
|
||||
were unaware of the extent of their terrible creation -
|
||||
the AIDS virus.
|
||||
WHO Involvement?
|
||||
The third expert quoted in the Sunday Express was Dr.
|
||||
Robert Strecker, an internist and gastroentarologist from
|
||||
Glendale, California, who stated "it must have been
|
||||
genetically engineered." Strecker believes, after years of
|
||||
exhaustive research, that the AIDS virus is indeed
|
||||
man-made. Strecker has alleged that AIDS was engineered at
|
||||
the request of the World Health Organisation and other
|
||||
scientific groups who, according to Strecker, injected the
|
||||
disease during preventative vaccines. WHO, he says, along
|
||||
with the International Agency for Research on Cancer and
|
||||
The National Institute on Health, requested the production
|
||||
of a virus that would attack the immune system's T-cells.
|
||||
AIDS, he says, is a hybrid of two animal viruses - bovine
|
||||
leukemia (found in cattle) and a sheep brain virus called
|
||||
visna. This new virus was given as vaccinations in Haiti,
|
||||
Brazil, Africa and the Caribbean by WHO in a 13-year
|
||||
campaign against smallpox in Third World nations, reports
|
||||
indicate. Strecker, in his 97-minute videotape, "The
|
||||
Strecker Memorandum," cites specific documentation
|
||||
supporting theories that AIDS is a result of that direct
|
||||
request. For example, from Volume 47 of Bulletin of the
|
||||
World Health Organisation (1972), page 259: "The effects
|
||||
of virus infection of different cell types (e.g.,
|
||||
Macrophages, T and B lymphocytes) should be studied in
|
||||
greater detail with morphological changes perhaps serving
|
||||
as an indication of functional alteration..." "The
|
||||
possibility should also be looked into that the immune
|
||||
response to the virus may itself be impaired if the
|
||||
infecting virus damages more or less selectively the cells
|
||||
responding to the viral antigens..." In fact, a May 11,
|
||||
1987 frontpage article in the London Times, headlined
|
||||
"Smallpox Vaccine Triggered AIDS Virus," said WHO was
|
||||
investigating new evidence suggesting that "immunization
|
||||
from the smallpox vaccine Vaccinia awakened the
|
||||
unsuspected, dormant human immuno defense virus infection
|
||||
(HIV)." Vaccinia was the actual vaccine given as smallpox
|
||||
deterrents during the WHO project. Were the AIDS
|
||||
infections intentional, accidental or coincidence?
|
||||
According to Strecker in his "Memorandum," a key part of
|
||||
the actual study "was to be the time relationship between
|
||||
infection and antigen administration," which suggests WHO
|
||||
officials - and other agencies who were directly dependent
|
||||
on the United States government for research grants - had
|
||||
to have known. The denials were not long in coming. But
|
||||
the British Sunday Telegraph exposed itself. It said the
|
||||
story (the Sunday Express article) was invented by the
|
||||
Russians "to smear the Americans," and recalled that it
|
||||
had appeared in the Soviet journal, Literary Gazette. It
|
||||
said this paper based its report on the Patriot - and that
|
||||
the Patriot report did not exist! Professor Segal
|
||||
describes as "ludicrous and scientifically incredible" the
|
||||
theory that the virus came from African green monkeys. One
|
||||
thing is certain: the controversy surrounding the AIDS
|
||||
virus will not die.</p>
|
||||
<p>A Weapon Against Black People?
|
||||
Zear Miles, a Black industrial engineer, who has studied
|
||||
the AIDS virus and its origins for about six years has
|
||||
stated that he has proof from various documentation and
|
||||
letters from other AIDS researchers to prove that the
|
||||
virus was made in an American military lab as a means to
|
||||
suppress Blacks. In his document entitled "Rape Africa",
|
||||
Miles researched the origin of the AIDS virus from 1952,
|
||||
when the federal government had enough blood types and
|
||||
characteristics of every nationality in the world up to
|
||||
the King Alfred plan which called for the extinction of
|
||||
Blacks in national security emergencies. Miles learned
|
||||
that through National Security Council Memorandum 46,
|
||||
dated 1978, which called for a possible way to gauge and
|
||||
control the impact of the growing Black movement, the
|
||||
government was researching possible ways to suppress Black
|
||||
hostility toward the authorities. Later called the King
|
||||
Alfred plan, the scheme called for the extinction of
|
||||
Blacks by the year 2000 with an AIDS-like virus. Miles
|
||||
said he also gauged the increasing number of AIDS cases in
|
||||
which the number of Black contractors have gone up
|
||||
significantly compared with Whites, citing that the AIDS
|
||||
virus attacked a Black person's immune system and
|
||||
destroyed it in six weeks as opposed to a White person's
|
||||
time of six months.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Evidence
|
||||
What is the evidence available to the layman. First, the
|
||||
initial cases were reported in New York and there is no
|
||||
dispute that Fort Detrick was working on immunological
|
||||
defence against infection. The British Guardian reported
|
||||
on October 27, 1986, that in 1969 evidence was given to a
|
||||
Washington Appropriation Committee that "within the next
|
||||
five or ten years it would probably be possible to make a
|
||||
new infective micro-organism which would differ from any
|
||||
known disease causing organism. Most important, that it
|
||||
might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic
|
||||
properties on which we depend to maintain our relative
|
||||
freedom from infectious disease." "Refractory" means,
|
||||
according to the Oxford Dictionary, "not yielding to
|
||||
treatment." AIDS answers precisely to that description.
|
||||
On September 24, 1986, the Daily Telegraph reported from
|
||||
Washington, "Enough of a debilitating virus to infect the
|
||||
whole world, disappeared from an American germwarfare
|
||||
laboratory five years ago, and has never been traced, an
|
||||
environment group claimed yesterday in a Washington Court
|
||||
action aimed at halting biological weapons research." In
|
||||
1968, the J.D. Bernal Peace Library organised a conference
|
||||
on the dangers of biological warfare research. Ritchie
|
||||
Calder said then that among the weapons being stockpiled
|
||||
were some designed to bring about genetic changes. He said
|
||||
the "doomsday bug was under wraps" and that there was a
|
||||
conspiracy of silence about germ weapons because the
|
||||
implications were so frightening." He told the British
|
||||
Daily Mirror after his address that "somewhere in the
|
||||
world a germ is being cultured to which we would have no
|
||||
natural resistance and to which there would be no sure
|
||||
defence." A precise description of AIDS. The British
|
||||
Observer, on June 30, 1968, quoted from an article in the
|
||||
Journal of General Microbiology by W.D. Lawton of Fort
|
||||
Detrick, and R.C. Morris and T.W. Burrows of the British
|
||||
microbiological research station at Porton. One paragraph
|
||||
said, "By engineering the genetics of individual strains,
|
||||
microbiologists aim to produce a single strain containing
|
||||
the most deadly combination of properties." Again, a
|
||||
description of AIDS. The article says that at that time
|
||||
Porton, according to the government, was concerned only
|
||||
with defence applications of research, but Fort Detrick
|
||||
was only committed to developing microbiological weapons
|
||||
for offence. The Japanese carried out germ warfare
|
||||
research in occupied China during the war. Some of these
|
||||
criminals were captured by the Soviets and duly tried and
|
||||
sentenced. Others were given immunity by the Americans and
|
||||
taken to work at Fort Detrick. In 1969, after the AIDS
|
||||
virus was loose, negotiations began on a Convention
|
||||
banning biological weapons, and it came into force in
|
||||
1972. In its first review conference in 1980, it was
|
||||
reported that 80 countries had ratified. But there is no
|
||||
provision in the Convention to ban research or for
|
||||
verification. Nichola Sims, who has written a book on
|
||||
biological disarmament, wrote recently, "the failure of
|
||||
the Convention to impose any restrictions even on
|
||||
'offensive' biological warfare research, has been
|
||||
frequently criticised." And she refers to popular fears
|
||||
that a "super germ breakthrough in the means of waging
|
||||
biological or toxin warfare is just around the corner and
|
||||
may induce the possessor of such a germ to break out of
|
||||
the Convention." She quotes Dr. Robert K. Mikulak of the
|
||||
U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency for the statement
|
||||
that "there is no justification for classified military
|
||||
research on the question in any country." But so far there
|
||||
is no inspection or verification. A much more recent
|
||||
accusation against the United States for the manufacturing
|
||||
of the AIDS virus comes from the Libyan UN Ambassador, Mr.
|
||||
Ali Ahmed Elhouderi. On January 9, 1992, at a press
|
||||
conference, he stated that the AIDS virus was produced in
|
||||
a laboratory probably as a weapon. He said, "We think it
|
||||
is man-made and it was done in laboratories. And it was
|
||||
not, as suggested, coming from monkeys in Africa." He also
|
||||
suggested that the virus had been manufactured at the time
|
||||
of the Vietnam War. These statements fit perfectly into
|
||||
place as research would have been carried out at that time
|
||||
at Fort Detrick for offensive purposes against the North
|
||||
Vietnamese.</p>
|
||||
<p>AIDS Was Man-Made
|
||||
On all the circumstantial evidence, the layman will almost
|
||||
certainly reject the idea that the escape of the man-made
|
||||
AIDS virus was the result of a disastrous error during
|
||||
innocent civilian research. We can assuredly conclude that
|
||||
it was the result of germ warfare research, and the finger
|
||||
of guilt points to the United States. The scientists
|
||||
could not have visualised that they would let loose a
|
||||
so-far incurable disease that may and possibly will wipe
|
||||
out millions, particularly in the Third World, where the
|
||||
majority of the world's population lives. Never was the
|
||||
need greater for the nations to drop their differences and
|
||||
to concentrate all their skill and resources in a
|
||||
world-wide battle against this terrible threat, and to end
|
||||
the horror of germ warfare research.**</p>

Utah, USA. An incurable disease begins to kill people like a
|
||||
plague epidemic. In an attempt to cover up the traces of their
|
||||
crime, the military authorities artificially cause a landslide
|
||||
that buries the town and doom chance survivors to lifelong
|
||||
isolation.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is the plot of Vector, a novel by Henry Sutton, an
|
||||
American author. This book is based on dramatic events
|
||||
during which the victims were fortunately not people but
|
||||
animals. March 14-20, 1968 was a black week for American
|
||||
farmers grazing sheep in the remote pasturelands of
|
||||
semi-desert Skull Valley, Utah. About 6500 sheep died
|
||||
there in those seven days under mysterious circumstances.
|
||||
Even more of a mystery was that people, cattle and other
|
||||
animals in the area were unscathed. Everybody - farmers,
|
||||
residents of Utah, journalists - felt certain that the
|
||||
accident was linked to the US Army chemical and
|
||||
bacteriological testing ground in Dugway with an area of
|
||||
several thousand square kilometres in the vicinity of
|
||||
Skull Valley. Indeed, at that very time the thousands of
|
||||
Dugway employees were carrying out large scale experiments
|
||||
in preparation for further escalation of the chemical war
|
||||
and the start of a germ war in Vietnam. For a whole year
|
||||
the Defence Department emphatically denied that animals in
|
||||
Skull Valley were being affected by the chemical or
|
||||
biological agents disseminated in the atmosphere during
|
||||
the test. In an attempt at a cover-up, experts at the
|
||||
proving ground advanced hypotheses which must have seemed
|
||||
untenable even to laymen about the sheep having been
|
||||
killed by poisonous plants or a natural epizootic.
|
||||
However, an inquiry by Utah authorities in collaboration
|
||||
with veterinarians and health experts compelled the
|
||||
Pentagon to admit its responsibility for the death of the
|
||||
sheep. Even so, no one at Dugway was punished. The blame
|
||||
for a terrible crime posing a real threat to people's
|
||||
health due to a gross violation of safety standards in
|
||||
conducting tests was placed on an unfortunate accident.
|
||||
According to the official version formulated under the
|
||||
direction of the U.S. military authorities, a test of
|
||||
TMU-28/B spray tanks with nerve agent VX, was carried out
|
||||
at Dugway on March 13, 1968. The gas was dispersed from an
|
||||
F-4E jet bomber by means of two spray tanks with a total
|
||||
capacity of 1200 litres. The bomber flew at an altitude
|
||||
of 40 to 45 m. During the test something went wrong with
|
||||
one of the tanks (or so the version ran), and besides, the
|
||||
direction of the wind varied, with the result that part of
|
||||
the nerve gas was carried beyond the proving ground. A
|
||||
cloud of aerosol VX allegedly contaminated pasturelands on
|
||||
an area of 400-500 sq. km. Skull Valley was not the only
|
||||
area where sheep died, for a cloud of aerosol VX reached
|
||||
Res Valley, killing sheep 70 km away from where the poison
|
||||
gas had been released. Anyone who has read publications
|
||||
dealing with the accident in Skull Valley and Res Valley
|
||||
is bound to detect a contradiction between the military
|
||||
authorities' version and the facts. The Pentagon has yet
|
||||
to explain why a whole year passed before it made up its
|
||||
mind about what chemical or biological agent caused the
|
||||
death of the sheep outside Dugway. If the Dugway test had
|
||||
to do only with VX, then that gas was the only cause of
|
||||
the sheep's death and this could have been stated at once.
|
||||
There is reason to presume that over a short period
|
||||
experiments were carried out at Dugway involving a whole
|
||||
range of poison gases and biological agents. But it is
|
||||
logical to suppose that even in such a contingency experts
|
||||
should know well the properties and casualty effects of
|
||||
the test materials. And this implies that researchers must
|
||||
have had no difficulty in ascertaining the nature of the
|
||||
agent which killed so many sheep. The official story of
|
||||
the experiment of March 13, 1968, says that the wind
|
||||
carried beyond Dugway, in the form of vapours and highly
|
||||
dispersed aerosol, a mere nine kg, or 0.8 per cent, of the
|
||||
total amount of VX gas to be dispersed. Field chemical
|
||||
control cannot ensure such a degree of accuracy. But the
|
||||
authors of the version needed to cite some figure in order
|
||||
to make people believe that the sheep had been killed by a
|
||||
nerve gas. At the same time, the Pentagon wanted to
|
||||
conceal from the public the real danger posed by chemical
|
||||
weapon tests in the atmosphere to residents of Utah and so
|
||||
it withheld information about the actual amount of gas
|
||||
released over Skull Valley. The Pentagon officials
|
||||
suggested that the contamination level in the Skull Valley
|
||||
pastureland where deaths occurred among sheep averaged a
|
||||
mere 0.02 gram per hectare. Let us note by way of
|
||||
comparison that to kill humans, it would be necessary
|
||||
according to U.S. data available to disseminate from one
|
||||
to three kilograms of VX per hectare of target, or 100
|
||||
thousand times more than the contamination level in Skull
|
||||
Valley given in the official version. Reports said that in
|
||||
a flock totalling 2800 sheep, 2500 or 90 per cent, were
|
||||
killed. No such effect is possible where the VX
|
||||
contamination level is 0.02 gram per hectare. A
|
||||
publication put out by the Dugway proving ground said that
|
||||
during the test on March 13, 1968, the greatest distance
|
||||
at which VX drops spilled on the ground had been 5.4 km
|
||||
and not 70 km, as the official version would have it. The
|
||||
Pentagon's information on one and the same fact varies
|
||||
from document to document and from period to period.
|
||||
Surely this shows that the version is false. A
|
||||
contaminated cloud spreading wide in the atmosphere only
|
||||
retains vapours and minute particles of aerosol which do
|
||||
not settle on the ground and can be inhaled. It follows
|
||||
that had such a cloud really floated over Skull Valley, it
|
||||
would have caused inhalational casualties in other animals
|
||||
as well, including cattle and horses, but no such thing
|
||||
happened, according to documentary evidence. In the early
|
||||
days after the accident, before the hypothesis about VX
|
||||
was advanced, doubts were expressed even by Brig. Gen.
|
||||
William Stone. He rightly asked why the gas had only
|
||||
killed sheep without affecting people. There were also
|
||||
other moot points. Why were the diseased sheep shot dead?
|
||||
Why was no attempt made to save them by evacuating them to
|
||||
an uncontaminated area or by treating them with atropine
|
||||
or other antidotes? Marr Fawcett, a veterinarian of Utah,
|
||||
refused to believe that the sheep had been poisoned with
|
||||
VX, for in that case many of them could, in his opinion,
|
||||
have been saved by means of antidotes. Dr. Kent Van
|
||||
Kampen, a veterinary pathologist in Utah, said in April
|
||||
1968, shortly after the accident, that as early as March
|
||||
17, 1968, the supposition that the sheep had been hit by a
|
||||
chemical poison affecting the nervous system could have
|
||||
been refuted without difficulty since all symptoms of such
|
||||
poisoning were lacking. The death of an animal poisoned
|
||||
with a nerve gas such as VX is accompanied by spasms and
|
||||
paresis of muscles in the limbs. Yet judging by what sheep
|
||||
herders said in the early days of the inquiry into the
|
||||
accident, dying sheep had shown no signs of spasms. True,
|
||||
later on someone saw to it that a videotape recording
|
||||
allegedly illustrating the Skull Valley accident was
|
||||
projected widely. The tape showed the death of a single
|
||||
sheep shaking with spasms as a group of civilians looked
|
||||
on. One year after the accident, Kent Van Kampen and Marr
|
||||
Fawcett contributed in collaboration with other experts of
|
||||
Utah an article to the Journal of the American Veterinary
|
||||
Medical Association setting out the causes and
|
||||
circumstances of the sheep's death in Skull Valley, their
|
||||
version tallying with the Pentagon's. There was a footnote
|
||||
saying that in writing their article, the authors had
|
||||
enjoyed expert assistance (it is easy enough to guess what
|
||||
kind of assistance) in particular from Dr. Mortimer
|
||||
Rothenberg, the science director at Dugway, and Dr.
|
||||
Bernard MacNamara of Edgewood Arsenal, the chief U.S. Army
|
||||
centre for the development of chemical and germ weapons.
|
||||
We might as well note at this point that shortly after the
|
||||
sheep's death in Skull Valley Dr. Rothenberg, trying to
|
||||
exonerate Dugway from blame for the accident, declared
|
||||
that the symptoms displayed by the sheep had nothing
|
||||
whatever in common with those of nerve gas poisoning. And
|
||||
so, it took the Pentagon a year to invent an explanation
|
||||
for the sheep's death and make the civilian experts
|
||||
mentioned above present its version as their own, thereby
|
||||
striking a bargain with their conscience. The videotape
|
||||
which showed a sheep's death from VX was intended to serve
|
||||
the same purpose. But the forgery was too crude for
|
||||
knowledgeable people to mistake it for the truth. They
|
||||
realised at once that the "documentary" showed a sheep
|
||||
injected with a nerve gas by means of a syringe, that is,
|
||||
in the same way as this is done in demonstrating the
|
||||
effect of nerve gases on animals. They deduced this from
|
||||
the absence of any other living or dead sheep on the
|
||||
screen as well as from the presence of people wearing no
|
||||
gas masks or protective clothes, whereas safety
|
||||
regulations forbid anyone to enter without taking these
|
||||
precautions in an area contaminated by VX to a degree
|
||||
killing livestock. There is no such ban where a poison gas
|
||||
is injected into the body of an animal outside a
|
||||
contaminated area. A further fact worthy of note is that
|
||||
the worker's teams which buried the dead sheep had no gas
|
||||
masks on, judging by other videotapes and various
|
||||
photographs. This is permissible only when the nature of
|
||||
an agent which has caused the death of animals is known
|
||||
for certain. Furthermore, it is necessary to note that the
|
||||
agent used was completely harmless to humans. This detail,
|
||||
like the others cited above, indicates that the sheep in
|
||||
Skull Valley were killed by something other than nerve
|
||||
gas. The death of livestock so far away from the testing
|
||||
ground, as in the case of Skull Valley, could only be
|
||||
caused by a biological agent. Experts could establish
|
||||
without difficulty that nine litres of biological agent is
|
||||
enough to generate a pathogenic aerosol cloud five km
|
||||
long, two km deep and 100 m high. One litre of aerosol
|
||||
cloud could contain several hundred units of pathogen.
|
||||
Such a cloud can sail many dozens of kilometres without
|
||||
losing its casualty effects. Consideration of the death
|
||||
rate of biological agents during the drift of aerosol
|
||||
particles in the atmosphere makes no difference as far as
|
||||
the main conclusion is concerned. Poison gas tests
|
||||
according to regulations in force at Dugway are generally
|
||||
conducted in the morning to ensure that enough daylight
|
||||
remains for collecting data on the results of tests and
|
||||
cleaning the test site. The dissemination of VX on March
|
||||
13, 1968, is alleged to have been carried out one hour
|
||||
before sunset. Evening experiments are particularly
|
||||
typical in the case of biological agents, for researchers
|
||||
are careful to preclude the disastrous impact of sunrays
|
||||
on pathogens. The year 1968, when the Skull Valley
|
||||
accident occurred, has gone down in history as the peak of
|
||||
U.S. chemical warfare in Vietnam, Laos and Kampuchea. In
|
||||
thelate 1960s, the Pentagon worked at a frantic pace to
|
||||
develop new chemical and germ weapons. A report by the
|
||||
House Committee on Science and Astronautics said that in
|
||||
the years preceding the accident, the Pentagon had been
|
||||
engaged in a vast programme for germ weapon testing. The
|
||||
tests were conducted at several military testing grounds,
|
||||
on ocean islands, in the Panama Canal zone, Alaska, New
|
||||
York City and San Diego as well as on airfields, in
|
||||
subways and on highways. The Dugway test made on March 13,
|
||||
1968, or somewhat earlier could be one of those tests. It
|
||||
is reasonable to suppose that during that test use was
|
||||
made of biological agents based on a virus selectively
|
||||
killing sheep without doing any harm to humans. It could
|
||||
be visna, a virus which has been intensively studied since
|
||||
the late 1950s in several research centres, including Fort
|
||||
Dettrick, Maryland, then the main U.S. centre for the
|
||||
development of germ weapons. No visna-caused diseases have
|
||||
been recorded among humans. This virus hardly affects
|
||||
cattle, horses or other animals. Its properties in this
|
||||
respect coincide entirely with those of the agent
|
||||
responsible for the Skull Valley accident in 1968. Visna
|
||||
affects the central nervous system of sheep, robbing their
|
||||
body of immunity. The symptoms are progressive weakness,
|
||||
shortness of breath, a wobbly gait, sagging withers and a
|
||||
drooping head. The end affect is paresis and paralysis of
|
||||
the skeletal muscles and then death. Similar symptoms were
|
||||
registered in sheep affected with the Skull Valley
|
||||
disease. The disease caused by visna is incurable. This
|
||||
explains why the epidemiological service of Utah did the
|
||||
right thing by deciding to slaughter the diseased sheep.
|
||||
No antidotes could have helped the animals in the least
|
||||
and were not used, either. If during the March 1968 tests
|
||||
at Dugway visna was used as a simultant modelling the
|
||||
properties of germ weapons, it is clear why the men who
|
||||
buried the dead sheep used no gas masks or protective
|
||||
clothes, since visna is harmless to man. And this invites
|
||||
another conclusion: at that time, the nature of the agent
|
||||
which affected the sheep was known to at least a small
|
||||
group of people in charge of removing the effects of the
|
||||
accident. The establishment of investigation committees
|
||||
was merely designed to conceal the real objectives and
|
||||
tasks of the Dugway experiments from the public. The
|
||||
mystery of those criminal experiments has begun to come to
|
||||
light in recent years. Competent scientists consider that
|
||||
visna was used in the United States for genetic
|
||||
engineering work which resulted in creating HIV, a
|
||||
chimeric virus causing an incurable infectious disease of
|
||||
man known as AIDS. Research into HIV at the molecular
|
||||
level has shown that 60 per cent of its genome is
|
||||
identical with that of visna and the rest is a built-in
|
||||
nucleotide sequence isolated from the genome of another
|
||||
retrovirus, HLTV-I. HIV, or the pathogen of AIDS, was
|
||||
designed in U.S. genetic engineering laboratories on
|
||||
instruction from the Pentagon. The purpose of this virus
|
||||
is to augment the U.S. germ (biological) warfare potential
|
||||
by acquiring a capability for depriving an enemy
|
||||
population of vitally important immunity at the threshold
|
||||
of a major or local armed conflict. The conclusion about
|
||||
the complicity of the U.S. military authorities in the
|
||||
appearance of AIDS, the new dangerous disease which
|
||||
affects humans, is shared by John Seale of Britain, Jacob
|
||||
Segal of Germany, Robert Strecker of the United States and
|
||||
other noted scientists and experts who have carefully
|
||||
analysed available scientific data. [See New Dawn Vol.2,
|
||||
No.1] For the time being, they have discounted the events
|
||||
and facts connected with the Skull Valley accident.
|
||||
Nevertheless, they have come to the unanimous conclusion
|
||||
that in designing HIV visna was made use of. Dr. Seale has
|
||||
said that a scientist who wanted to evolve a virus capable
|
||||
of destroying man's immunity system and provoking a
|
||||
disease similar to AIDS would have to resort to visna.
|
||||
The "patent" for inventing HIV should be issued to the
|
||||
United States because it was there that the virus was
|
||||
developed and also because Americans were the first
|
||||
victims of AIDS. The disease, which broke out in New York,
|
||||
was carried to other big cities in the United States and
|
||||
then to other countries and continents. Its virus was
|
||||
transmitted by infected Americans serving at overseas
|
||||
military bases. Besides, AIDS was contracted in the United
|
||||
States by Australian and European tourists vacationing
|
||||
there. HIV spread to Middle East and other Arab countries
|
||||
which imported blood from donors stricken with AIDS. In
|
||||
October 1986, John Seale quoted during an interview with
|
||||
the Guardian an extract from a report prepared by the
|
||||
Pentagon in 1969. It said that in the next five to ten
|
||||
years an infective micro-organism might be evolved that
|
||||
would differ substantially from all pathogens known so
|
||||
far. Its most important property, the report said, would
|
||||
consist in attacking the immune system and internal organs
|
||||
on which the ability of the human body to resist
|
||||
infectious diseases depends. Consequently, the AIDS
|
||||
pathogen was deliberately created and development was
|
||||
planned and funded. The test at Dugway which killed so
|
||||
many sheep in Skull Valley turned out to be part of the
|
||||
Pentagon's programme for designing a new biological agent,
|
||||
the AIDS pathogen.**</p>

|
||||
<p>It is hard to imagine that a cure for AIDS would be withheld for
|
||||
economic reasons alone. Could there be some other motive?</p>
|
||||
<p>Despite repeated denials from Defense Department
|
||||
officials, allegations persist that AIDS is a genetically
|
||||
altered virus, which has been deliberately released to
|
||||
wipe out homosexuals and/or non-whites in the U.S. and
|
||||
reduce populations in Third World countries. At first
|
||||
glance it seems like the epitome of paranoia to accuse the
|
||||
military of conspiring to exterminate citizens of their
|
||||
own country, and even some of their own troops. However,
|
||||
the vast majority of military personnel could be
|
||||
completely unaware of such a plot in their midst, while a
|
||||
relative handful of traitors in key positions could
|
||||
conduct it under cover of classified operations. And the
|
||||
circumstantial evidence is actually quite compelling, that
|
||||
the AIDS virus was artificially engineered, and planted in
|
||||
several different locations at about the same time through
|
||||
vaccination programs, and possibly blood bank
|
||||
contamination. At a House Appropriations hearing in 1969,
|
||||
the Defense Department's Biological Warfare (BW) division
|
||||
requested funds to develop through gene-splicing a new
|
||||
disease that would both resist and break down a victim's
|
||||
immune system. "Within the next 5 to 10 years it would
|
||||
probably be possible to make a new infective
|
||||
micro-organism which would differ in certain important
|
||||
respects 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." (See A Higher Form of Killing: The Secret Story
|
||||
of Chemical and Biological Warfare by R. Harris and J.
|
||||
Paxman, p.266, Hill and Wang, pubs.) The funds were
|
||||
approved. AIDS appeared within the requested time frame,
|
||||
and has the exact characteristics specified. In 1972, the
|
||||
World Health Organisation published a similar proposal:
|
||||
"An attempt should be made to ascertain whether viruses
|
||||
can in fact exert selective effects on immune function,
|
||||
e.g. by... affecting T cell function as opposed to B cell
|
||||
function. The possibility should also be looked into that
|
||||
the immune response to the virus itself may be impaired if
|
||||
the infecting virus damages more or less selectively the
|
||||
cells responding to the viral antigens." (Bulletin of the
|
||||
W.H.O., vol. 47, p.257-274.) This is a clinical
|
||||
description of the function of the AIDS virus. The
|
||||
incidence of AIDS infections in Africa coincides exactly
|
||||
with the locations of the massive W.H.O. smallpox
|
||||
vaccination program in the mid-1970's (London Times, May
|
||||
11, 1987). Some 14000 Haitians then on UN secondment to
|
||||
Central Africa were also vaccinated in this campaign.
|
||||
Personnel actually conducting the vaccinations may have
|
||||
been completely unaware that the vaccine was anything
|
||||
other than what they were told. A striking feature of
|
||||
AIDS is that it is ethno-selective. The rate of infection
|
||||
is twice as high among Blacks, Latinos and Native
|
||||
Americans as among whites, with death coming two to three
|
||||
times as swiftly. And over 80% of the children with AIDS
|
||||
and 90% of infants born with it are among these
|
||||
minorities. "Ethnic weapons" that would strike certain
|
||||
racial groups more heavily than others have been a
|
||||
longstanding U.S. Army BW objective. (Harris and Paxman,
|
||||
p.265) Under the current U.S. administration biological
|
||||
warfare research spending has increased 500 percent,
|
||||
primarily in the area of genetic engineering of new
|
||||
disease organisms. The "discovery" of the AIDS virus
|
||||
(HTLV3) was announced by Dr. Robert Gallo at the National
|
||||
Cancer Institute, which is on the grounds of Fort Detrick,
|
||||
Maryland, a primary U.S. Army biological warfare research
|
||||
facility. Actually, the AIDS virus looks and acts much
|
||||
more like a cross between a bovine leukemia virus and a
|
||||
sheep visna (brain-rot) virus, cultured in a human cell
|
||||
culture, than any virus of the HTLV3 group. The closest
|
||||
thing in this case to a "smoking test tube" so far is the
|
||||
AIDS virus itself. If it was possible for such a
|
||||
monstrosity to occur naturally it would have done so ages
|
||||
ago and decimated mankind at that time. Some other life
|
||||
form would presently be in control of this planet
|
||||
(assuming that is not already the case). The Hepatitis B
|
||||
vaccine study in 1978 appears to have been the initial
|
||||
means of planting the infection in New York City. The test
|
||||
protocol specified non-monogamous males only, and
|
||||
homosexuals received a different vaccine from
|
||||
heterosexuals. At least 25-50% of the first reported New
|
||||
York AIDS cases in 1981 had received the Hepatitis B test
|
||||
vaccine in 1978. By 1984, 64% of the vaccine recipients
|
||||
had AIDS, and the figures on the current infection rate
|
||||
for the participants of that study are held by the U.S.
|
||||
State Department of Justice, and "unavailable." The AIDS
|
||||
epidemic emerged full-blown in the three U.S. cities with
|
||||
"organised gay communities" before being reported
|
||||
elsewhere, including Haiti or Africa, so it is
|
||||
epidemiologically impossible for either of those countries
|
||||
to be the origin point for the U.S. infections. Another
|
||||
indication AIDS had multiple origin points is that the
|
||||
14-month doubling time of the disease cannot nearly
|
||||
account for the current number of cases if we assume only
|
||||
a small number of initial infections starting in the late
|
||||
1970s. Before dismissing the possibility that a U.S. Army
|
||||
BW facility would participate in genocide, bear in mind
|
||||
that hundreds of top Nazis were imported into key
|
||||
positions in the U.S. military-intelligence establishment
|
||||
following WWII. U.S. military priorities were then
|
||||
reorientated from defeating Nazis to "defeating" communism
|
||||
at any cost, and strengthening military control of
|
||||
economic and foreign policy decisions. (See Project
|
||||
Paperclip by Clarence Lasby, Atheneum 214, NY, and Gehlen:

|
||||
There's no proof those Nazis ever gave up their longterm
|
||||
goals of conquest and genocide, just because they changed
|
||||
countries. Fascism was and is an international phenomenon.
|
||||
It's not as if this was a total reversal of previous U.S.
|
||||
military policy, however. Hitler claimed to have gotten
|
||||
his inspiration for the "final solution" from the
|
||||
extermination of Native Americans in the U.S. For that
|
||||
matter the first example of germ warfare in the U.S. was
|
||||
in 1763 when some of the European colonists gave friendly
|
||||
Indians a number of blankets that had been infected with
|
||||
smallpox, causing many deaths. One indication of the
|
||||
actual U.S. military priorities regarding BW was the
|
||||
importation of the entire Japanese germ warfare unit
|
||||
(#731) following WW II. These people killed over 3000
|
||||
POWs, including many Americans, in a variety of grisly
|
||||
experiments, yet they were granted complete amnesty and
|
||||
given American military positions in exchange for sharing
|
||||
their research findings with their U.S. Army counterparts.
|
||||
Consider also the callous attitude displayed by top
|
||||
military officials toward veterans suffering from the
|
||||
after-effects of exposure to Agent Orange and radiation
|
||||
from nuclear weapons tests. In fact, since the end of WW
|
||||
II over 200 experimental BW tests have been conducted on
|
||||
civilians and military personnel in the U.S. One example
|
||||
was the test spraying from Sept. 20-26, 1950 of bacillus
|
||||
globigi and syraceus maracezens over 117 square miles of
|
||||
the San Francisco area, causing pneumonia-like infections
|
||||
in many of the residents. The family of one elderly man
|
||||
who died in the test sued the government, but lost. To
|
||||
this day, syraceus is a leading cause of death among the
|
||||
elderly in the San Francisco area. Another case was the
|
||||
joint Army-CIA BW test in 1955, still classified, in which
|
||||
an undisclosed bacteria was released in the Tampa Bay
|
||||
region of Florida, causing a dramatic increase in whooping
|
||||
cough infections, including twelve deaths. A third example
|
||||
was the July 7-10, 1966 release of bacteria throughout the
|
||||
New York subway system, conducted by the U.S. Army's
|
||||
Special Operations Division. Due to the vast number of
|
||||
people exposed it would be virtually impossible to
|
||||
identify, let alone prove, the specific health problems
|
||||
resulting directly from this test. Despite the loyalty of
|
||||
the vast majority of U.S. military personnel toward their
|
||||
country, there are clearly some military officials who
|
||||
have very different intentions, and they occupy high
|
||||
enough positions to impose their priorities on military
|
||||
programs and get away with it, so far. The first detailed
|
||||
charges regarding AIDS as a BW weapon were published in
|
||||
the Patriot newspaper in New Delhi, India, on July 4,
|
||||
1984. It is hard to say where the investigations of this
|
||||
story in the Indian press might have led, if they had not
|
||||
been sidetracked by two major domestic disasters shortly
|
||||
thereafter: the assassination of Indira Gandhi on Oct. 31
|
||||
and the Bhopal Union Carbide plant "accident" that killed
|
||||
several thousand and injured over 200000 on Dec. 3.
|
||||
Apparently, homosexuals were an initial target in the U.S.
|
||||
because their sexual practices would help in the rapid
|
||||
spread of the disease, and because it was correctly
|
||||
assumed that very few non-homosexual citizens would pay
|
||||
much attention during the early years of the epidemic.
|
||||
Also, the stigma of a "homosexual disease" would interfere
|
||||
with rational analysis and discussion of AIDS. Bear in
|
||||
mind that homosexuals were among the first to be
|
||||
exterminated in Nazi Germany, before Jews and other
|
||||
minorities, so fewer citizens would object. The details
|
||||
of precisely how the AIDS virus was synthesized, mass
|
||||
cultured, and spread by incorporating it into vaccination
|
||||
programs are available but fairly intricate. Evil is hard
|
||||
to confront, especially on the preposterous scale we have
|
||||
here. If you acknowledge the presence of those who think
|
||||
their only hope for survival is to kill off two thirds of
|
||||
all the other kinds, and their ability to manage it, you
|
||||
then pretty much have to do something about it.</p>

<p>Abridged from Now What #1.**</p>
|
||||
<p>Immunex</p>
|
||||
<p>The North American-based Nation of Islam (NOI) led by Minister
|
||||
Louis Farrakhan launched an offensive in its battle against the
|
||||
deadly "man-made" AIDS virus during its recent Saviours' Day
|
||||
weekend. The following report is courtesy of The Final Call.
|
||||
|
||||
From the rostrum of Christ Universal Temple here, the
|
||||
Honorable Louis Farrakhan announced that the NOI has
|
||||
acquired exclusive distribution rights to the AIDS
|
||||
fighting drug Immunex, an oral alpha-interferon treatment
|
||||
developed in Kenya. "I just got a call from our chief of
|
||||
staff 3 minutes before I came on the rostrum," Minister
|
||||
Farrakhan said, regarding the confirmation of the Immunex
|
||||
agreement that came from Leonard Muhammad in Kenya. "The
|
||||
Nation of Islam is announcing to you that we have the
|
||||
exclusive distribution rights of Immunex throughout the
|
||||
United States of America. "As of this day," he continued,
|
||||
"Min. Alim will still teach, but he is now the Minister of
|
||||
Health and Human Services for the Nation of Islam." Dr.
|
||||
Alim told the cheering audience that the war against AIDS
|
||||
is being won but total victory will not come "until we
|
||||
deal with those responsible for making the AIDS virus."
|
||||
Since the early 1970s under the Nixon administration, he
|
||||
said, the official policy of this government has been to
|
||||
commit genocide against non-white people around the earth.
|
||||
That policy continues under the administration of
|
||||
President George Bush, he said. Dr. Muhammad and former
|
||||
Final Call Editor-in-Chief Abdul Wali Muhammad were sent
|
||||
to Kenya by Minister Farrakhan last year on a fact-finding
|
||||
tour regarding the drug Kemron. While there, the NOI
|
||||
representatives learned about Immunex. Both drugs have
|
||||
shown remarkable effects in relieving AIDS symptoms, but
|
||||
the drugs have received very little media coverage in the
|
||||
U.S. "We would like FDA approval," said Min. Farrakhan,
|
||||
"however we can't wait. We will take any risk, bear any
|
||||
burden to free our people of a man-made disease designed
|
||||
to kill us all." The Minister added that the drug will be
|
||||
offered to all who need it "regardless of race, creed or
|
||||
colour."**
