AIDS: A U.S.- Made Monster? PREFACE In an extensive article in the
Summer-Autumn 1990 issue of Top Secret, Prof J. Segal and Dr. L. Segal outline
their theory that AIDS is a man-made disease, originating at Pentagon
bacteriological warfare labs at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Top Secret is the
international edition of the German magazine Geheim and is considered by many to
be a sister publication to the American Covert Action Information Bulletin (CAIB).
In fact, Top Secret carries the Naming Names column, which CAIB is prevented
from doing by the American government, and which names CIA agents in different
locations in the world.
The article, named AIDS: US-Made Monster and subtitled
AIDS - its Nature and its Origins, is lengthy, has a lot of professional
terminology and is dotted with footnotes. AIDS FACTS The fatal weakening of the
immune system which has given AIDS its name (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency
Syndrome), write the Segals, has been traced back to a destruction or a
functional failure of the T4-lymphocytes, also called 'helper cells`, which play
a regulatory role in the production of antibodies in the immune system. In the
course of the illness, the number of functional T4- cells is reduced greatly so
that new anti-bodies cannot be produced and the defenceless patient remains
exposed to a range of infections that under other circumstances would have been
harmless. Most AIDS patients die from opportunistic infections rather than from
the AIDS virus itself. The initial infection is characterized by diarrhea,
erysipelas and intermittent fever.
An apparent recovery follows after 2-3 weeks,
and in many cases the patient remains without symptoms and functions normally
for years. Occasionally a swelling of the lymph glands, which does not affect
the patient's well-being, can be observed. After several years, the pre-AIDS
stage, known as ARC (Aids- Related Complex) sets in. This stage includes
disorders in the digestive tract, kidneys and lungs. In most cases it develops
into full-blown AIDS in about a year, at which point opportunistic illnesses
occur. Parallel to this syndrome, disorders in various organ systems occur, the
most severe in the brain, the symptoms of which range from motoric disorders to
severe dementia and death. This set of symptoms, say the Segals, is identical in
every detail with the Visna sickness which occurs in sheep, mainly in Iceland. (Visna
means tiredness in Icelandic).
However, the visna virus is not pathogenic for
human beings. The Segals note that despite the fact that AIDS is transmitted
only through sexual intercourse, blood transfusions and non- sterile hypodermic
needles, the infection has spread dramatically. During the first few years after
its discovery, the number of AIDS patients doubled every six months, and is
still doubling every 12 months now though numerous measures have been taken
against it. Based on these figures, it is estimated that in the US, which had
120,000 cases of AIDS at the end of 1988, 900,000 people will have AIDS or will
have died of it by the end of 1991. It is also estimated that the number of
people infected is at least ten times the number of those suffering from an
acute case of AIDS. That in the year 1995 there will be between 10-14 million
cases of AIDS and an additional 100 million people infected, 80 percent of them
in the US, while a possible vaccination will not be available before 1995 by the
most optimistic estimates.
Even when such vaccination becomes available, it will
not help those already infected. These and following figures have been reached
at by several different mainstream sources, such as the US Surgeon General and
the Chief of the medical services of the US Army. AIDS does not merely bring
certain dangers with it; it is clearly a programmed catastrophe for the human
race, whose magnitude is comparable only with that of a nuclear war, say the Segals. They later explain what they mean by programmed, showing that the virus
was produced by humans, namely Dr. Robert Gallo of the Bethesda Cancer Research
Center in Maryland. When proceeding to prove their claims, the Segals are
careful to note that: We have given preference to the investigative results of
highly renowned laboratories, whose objective contents cannot be doubted. We
must emphasize, in this connection, that we do not know of any findings that
have been published in professional journals that contradict our hypotheses.
DISCOVERING AIDS The first KNOWN cases of AIDS occurred in New York in 1979.
The
first DESCRIBED cases were in California in 1979. The virus was isolated in
Paris in May 1983, taken from a French homosexual who had returned home ill from
a trip to the East Coast of the US. One year later, Robert Gallo and his
co-workers at the Bethesda Cancer Research Center published their discovery of
the same virus, which is cytotoxic. ( i.e poisonous to cells ) Shortly after
publishing his discovery, Gallo stated to newspapers that the virus had
developed by a natural process from the Human Adult Leukemia virus, HTLV-1,
which he had previously discovered. However, this claim was not published in
professional publications, and soon after, Alizon and Montagnier, two
researchers of the Pasteur Institute in Paris published charts of HTLV-1 and
HIV, showing that the viruses had basically different structures.
