US Congress hires mad doctors at Pentagon and Centers for Disease
Creation to create geocidal HIV, mycoplasma and Kaposi cancer virus.

Twenty-five years ago in June 1981 a new epidemic of transmissible
cancer, in the form of Kaposi's sarcoma, was uncovered in young gay
American men with acquired immune deficiency disease (AIDS). In 1984
the cause of the AIDS was determined to be a new virus called HIV
(the human immunodeficiency virus), now considered to be "the sole
cause of AIDS."
A decade later, in 1994, yet another "new virus" was claimed as the
cause of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), the so-called "gay cancer" of AIDS.
KS skin tumors were the hallmark of the "gay-related immune
deficiency syndrome" when it first appeared in male homosexuals in
Manhattan in the late 1970s. After a quarter century the precise
origin of HIV, as well as the origin of the KS epidemic, remains
mysterious.
With the discovery of the KS virus, it is now clear that two new
viruses were introduced to produce what was initially regarded as
the "gay plague". How were two new viruses (HIV and the KS virus)
simultaneously "introduced" into gays to produce AIDS?
The origin of Kaposi's Sarcoma
Before the epidemic, KS was a rare cancer in the U.S. The KS virus -
now called the human herpes-8 virus (HHV-8) or the Kaposi's sarcoma
herpes virus (KSHV)- is now widely accepted as the cause of most
cases of KS.
KS was first described in 1872 in Vienna, by Hungarian dermatologist
Moriz Kaposi. Before the epidemic KS was a rare and usually mild form
of cancer occasionally tumors in elderly Jewish and Italian-American
men. The cancer was never considered a contagious, infectious, or
sexually transmitted disease. KS in African-Americans was as rare as
hen's teeth before AIDS appeared in the late 1970s.
In the 1960s KS was recognized as a common tumor in blacks in Central
Africa. However, the African form of KS was not associated with the
severe immunodeficiency characteristic of AIDS, nor was it sexually
transmissible, and HIV was not found in these patients.
KS is a medical enigma. [1] How did KS become a transmissible
epidemic disease in gays? How did the KS herpes virus escape
detection during the first 15 years of the epidemic? Why did the KS
virus and HIV suddenly appear together in the late 1970s to produce
a "gay-related immunodeficiency disease?" How could cancer be "gay"?
Were these two simultaneous epidemics in gay men simply caused by two
viruses out of the African jungle? Or was the hand of man - in the
form of medical experimentation - responsible for the "introduction"
of these viruses into the male homosexual community?
The two epidemics of AIDS and Kaposi's sarcoma
At the beginning of the epidemic many virologists thought KS might be
caused by a transmissible herpes virus called the cytomegalovirus
(CMV), which purportedly was found in the semen of gay men. However,
when Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute discovered HIV in
April 1984, interest in CMV waned.
After the KS virus was discovered in 1994, it was also found in other
forms of cancer, such as lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
KS virus infection is no longer rare; and most people infected with
the virus will never develop KS cancer tumors. However, when people
are infected with HIV and the KS virus, KS tumors can occur. The KS
herpes virus is considered a "helper virus," which encourages the
development of KS cancer in HIV-infected people.
Researchers are still not exactly sure how the KS virus is
transmitted. Mouth-to-mouth transmission, such as kissing, is
believed to be the primary mode of spread. But kissing is hardly
limited to homosexuals. Some studies have found the virus in the
semen of KS patients, while other studies have not confirmed this. In
Central Africa, where KS is endemic, children can become infected
with the KS virus early in life before sexual activity occurs.
When AIDS began it was thought that "gay cancer" was similar to the
more severe endemic form of KS found in Africa. However, as noted,
African KS cases were HIV-negative and were not immunosuppressed.
Some investigators have attempted to uncover the origin of AIDS by re-
examining "old cases" of African KS. But AIDS, by definition, must be
infection with HIV. Therefore, pre-AIDS KS cases have no connection
to the origin of AIDS.
The epidemic of "Gay Cancer" exclusively in homosexuals
After the introduction of HIV and the KS virus into the U.S. gay male
population in the late 1970s, the incidence of KS skyrocketed.
A 1989 report by Biggar et al. found no cases of KS in young men in
New York City during the years 1973-1976. However, by 1985 the
incidence of KS in "never-married men" in Manhattan had increased
1850 times; and in San Francisco the rate of KS increased over 2000
times! [2]
KS is now 20,000 times more common in AIDS patients than in the
general population. Currently, the CDC claims that KS occurs in only
15% of gay men with AIDS (down from 30% at the beginning of the
epidemic).
Separating the HIV epidemic from the KS epidemic
When stored blood samples of gays followed for HIV infection were re-
examined by epidemiologists in 1999, it was reported that more than
20% of a group of 245 homosexual men from New York were infected with
the KS herpes virus as early as 1982. [3]
Some experts now claim the epidemic of KS in gay men arose separately
from the epidemic of HIV; and KS is thought to be an unrelated and
distinct epidemic. However, the vital question of how two new viruses
(HIV and the KS virus) were introduced exclusively and simultaneously
into homosexual men is never raised. It is simply theorized that both
the KS virus and HIV are "ancestor viruses" of primates in the
African bush that jumped species to infect the human population.
The Virus Cancer Program and biological warfare research
In the decade before AIDS, animal retroviruses (similar to HIV) and
herpes viruses (similar to the KS virus) were extensively transferred
between animal species as part of the Virus Cancer Program (1968-
1980). The annual "Progress Reports" of the VCP details the animal
cancer research and the genetic engineering of animal viruses.
In 1969 a military biowarfare expert predicted to U.S congressmen
that a biological agent could be developed within a decade that would
have a devastating effect on the human immune system and for which
there would be no effective treatment. (For details Google: "Donald M
MacArthur " + congressional testimony.)
Military biological warfare research became officially connected to
VCP research on October 18, 1971, when President Richard Nixon
permanently joined the Army's biowarfare research laboratory at Fort
Detrick, Maryland, with the National Cancer Institute. The army lab
was renamed the Frederick Cancer Research Center.
Scientists in the VCP wanted to learn how to use animal viruses to
make cancer - and how to force "normal" human cells to become
cancerous by subjecting them to various animal viruses. A primary
task was the large scale production of cancer-causing viruses and
suspected cancer viruses to meet research VCP needs on a continuing
basis. Special attention was given to primate viruses (the alleged
African source of HIV and the KS virus). Another goal was the
production of "human candidate viruses." Candidate viruses were
defined as animal or human viruses that might cause cancer in humans.
Biowarfare scientists had a keen interest in animal herpes "helper
viruses" (1978 VCP Report;p 54). Chimps (who purportedly carry the
ancestor virus of HIV) were extensively used by the VCP because there
would be no official testing of cancer viruses on humans.
As biowarfare expert MacArthur predicted, the VCP created new cancer-
causing viruses which had a deadly effect on the immune system. In
one experiment recorded in the 1973 Report (p169), and later
published in Cancer Research in 1974, newborn chimps were taken away
from their mothers at birth and weaned on milk from cancer virus-
infected cows. Essentially "AIDS" was created in animals. Some of the
chimps sickened and died with two diseases that had never been
observed in chimpanzees: Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (later known
as the "gay pneumonia" of AIDS) and leukemia, a cancer of the blood.
Because of the dangerous transfer of primate viruses into human
cells, the VCP was a biological disaster waiting to happen. This
possibility was recorded in the 1978 VCP report from the Office of
Biohazard Safety stating: "The inadequate care and handling of
animals during the past several years have created a potential for
the occurrence of infection of humans with simian (primate)
microorganisms and cross infection between species. Such interspecies
disease transmission may seriously compromise the integrity of the
experiment as well as the health of the experimenter. Due to the
magnitude of biomedical research employing tissue cultures, frequent
evaluation of tissue culture cross-contamination is very important."
A decade before Gallo discovered HIV, he reported a "new" and "human"
and cancer-causing "HL-23 virus" that later turned out to be not one
but three contaminating primate viruses (gibbon-ape virus, simian
sarcoma virus, and baboon endogenous virus). How these three primate
viruses contaminated Gallo's lab is unknown.
As late as 1986 Max Essex of Harvard "discovered" a new human
AIDS retrovirus found in the blood of healthy Africans. Eventually
this virus
proved to be a monkey virus which traced back to a nearby primate
colony in Massachusetts. In the first decade of AIDS Gallo and Essex
were the leading proponents of the African green monkey theory of
origin of AIDS.
In 1999 a team of researchers led by Beatrice Hahn (who worked in
Gallo's lab when he proposed the green monkey theory) also claimed
HIV traced back to chimpanzees in the African wild. This finding was
quickly accepted as the true origin of HIV and AIDS; and the
discovery was widely heralded in the media.
Did a KS virus originate from laboratory primate viruses?
A decade before AIDS, monkey cancer-causing viruses were adapted to
human cells. In 1967 Herpesvirus saimiri, a harmless squirrel monkey
virus closely related to the new KS herpes virus, was forced into
different animals, such as the owl monkey, marmosets and rabbits,
where it produced cancer in the form of malignant lymphoma. Lymphoma
is a common cancer in AIDS patients; and there is also a close
relationship between KS and lymphoma.
In 1971 Dharam V Ablashi of the NCI transferred H. saimiri into
various cell lines of human origin. (1971;35). Attempts were made "to
find a suitable method for the large-scale production of high-titer
Herpesvirus saimiri" (1973;264). By 1976 it was also learned that
H.saimiri was contagious and spread by "contact transmission" between
squirrel and owl monkeys in the laboratory.
The Virus Cancer Program and secret human experimentation
A 1972 VCP Report (p. 262) emphatically states: "Since man will not
be used as an experimental recipient, it is necessary to gain proof
of oncogenicity by other means." How that "proof" would be obtained
was never made clear.
With its close ties to military biowarfare research it is conceivable
that the VCP undertook covert human testing of suspected cancer-
causing viruses. The U.S. military has a long history of secret human
experimentation on unsuspecting citizens. (Google: secret human
experimentation + military). Were gay men used as guinea pigs to test
the effects of these viruses?
In 1977 Merck and Co, Inc. made most of the experimental hepatitis B
vaccine used in gays the following year. Merck's role in the VCP
was "to conduct investigations designed to develop vaccines or other
agents effective for the prophylaxis and therapy for human neoplasia
(cancer) of suspected viral etiology" (1972 report; p 139).
Merck also wanted to develop an anti-herpes virus vaccine. Merck
researchers stated: "Since live attenuated or killed virus vaccines
for potentially oncogenic viruses would not be acceptable for human
use due to the danger of transfer of functional genetic material,
this project was initiated to determine whether vaccines to purified
viral antigens acceptable for use in humans were of practical value."
(1977;160) This proposed "purified" herpes vaccine was similar in
type to the experimental "purified" hepatitis B vaccine injected into
gays the following year in 1978.
"Gay cancer" and man-made laboratory "helper viruses"
The herpes KS virus is a "helper virus" which promotes cancer,
particularly when combined with HIV. In the decade before AIDS it was
discovered that some cancer-causing animal sarcoma viruses could not
produce cancer unless a "helper virus" was present. For example,
certain chicken, cat and mouse sarcoma viruses were "defective" in
their ability to induce experimental cancer. But when a "helper"
leukemia virus was added to the mix, the sarcoma virus was able to
induce cancer.
By 1977, the year the experimental hepatitis B vaccine was being
developed by Merck for use in gays , scientists in the VCP aimed "to
determine the oncogenic [cancer-causing] potential of putative human
viruses" and "to begin viral vaccine (conventional or other) testing
and immunization programs" (1977 VCP Report; p32). The exact methods
for accomplishing this were not stated. However, it is now obvious
that the introduction of two new viruses into gay men conveniently
accomplished this goal of VCP scientists: namely, to prove that
immunosuppressive and cancer-causing retroviruses - with or without
herpes KS-like "helper viruses" - could cause disease and cancer in
humans.
The gay hepatitis B experiments (1978-1981) that preceded AIDS
HIV and the KS virus were introduced shortly after U.S. government
scientists began recruiting large groups of gays from health clinics
for the purpose of testing, treatment, and experimentation. It is my
contention that this most hated minority in America afforded an
opportunity to covertly test laboratory cancer viruses and "human
candidate viruses" as specified in the VCR annual reports.
Were the primate "ancestors" of HIV and the KS herpes virus contained
in some vials of the experimental hepatitis B vaccines? The extremely
high incidence of both these "new" viruses in gays who volunteered
for the vaccine experiments suggests this possibility.
The experimental vaccine was developed by Merck in chimpanzees and
manufactured by purifying the pooled blood of 30 gay men who were
hepatitis B virus carriers.[4] The volunteers in the experiment had
to be free of the hepatitis B virus in order to test the efficacy of
the vaccine.
During the first trial (November 1978-October 1979) at the New York
Blood Center in Manhattan, there was great concern that the vaccine
might be contaminated. According to June Goodfield's Quest for the
Killers, p 86, "This was no theoretical fear, contamination having
been suspected in one batch made by the National Institutes of
Health, though never in Merck's." The 1,083 gay men were given three
inoculations of the vaccine over a period of three months. The
vaccine for each injection given to each man was contained within a
one-dose individual vial.
The vaccine trial was a tremendous success with 96% of the men
developing protective antibodies against the hepatitis B virus. [5,6]
Some investigators condemning the man-made theory of AIDS have
speculated that many of the men might have been already
immunosuppressed by HIV before the experiment. However, in that case
the 96% success rate could not have been achieved because
immunosuppressed people frequently do not produce antibodies to the
vaccine. Furthermore, there is no evidence that HIV existed in the
U.S. blood supply before 1978, the year the gay experiments began.
Irrespective of how the two viruses were "introduced," it is a fact
that government scientists quickly vilified gays and promoted AIDS
as "gay-related immunodeficiency disease," and as "gay cancer"
and "gay pneumonia." The disease was allowed to spread by the federal
government which put budget ahead of the nation's welfare, and by
disinterested health authorities who placed political expediency
before the public health - and by scientists more concerned with
international prestige than saving lives, as detailed by Randy Shilts
in his classic book, And The Band Played On.
The end of the Virus Cancer Program and the birth of AIDS
The VCP ended in 1980 with the inability to prove that viruses were
involved in human cancer. However, the VCP gave birth to genetic
engineering, molecular biology, and the human genome project. The
program built up the field of animal retrovirology, which led to a
more complete understanding of how immunosuppressive and cancer-
causing retroviruses caused disease. Naturally, this was helpful when
the first cases of "gay cancer" erupted in 1979 in Manhattan and the
epidemic was officially recognized in 1981.
As the VCP ended in 1980, more gay vaccine experiments began in other
cities, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. The vaccine trials
ended in early 1981, just before the epidemic became official. These
cities quickly became the primary epicenters of AIDS. Within a few
years AIDS became the leading cause of death in young men in New York
City; and that city would have the largest number of reported cases
in the U.S. (7)
Being a participant in the government's hepatitis studies was clearly
dangerous to a gay man's health. After HIV and the KS virus were
introduced there was a definite increase in the cancer death rate in
male homosexuals, not only from KS, but from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,
and other types of cancers as well. This was reported in Koblin's
1996 study of 15,565 gays in New York and San Francisco who
participated in hepatitis B virus studies in the late 1970s.[8]
The introduction of HIV and the KS herpes virus into gay men
miraculously revived the career of Robert Gallo and made him the most
famous virologist in the world; and turned the failure of the VCP in
1980 into a triumph a few years later.
When Gallo's blood test for HIV became available in the mid-1980s,
the New York Blood Center's stored gay blood specimens were
reexamined for this virus. Most astonishing is the fact that 20% of
the gay men in the Manhattan experiment were HIV-positive in 1980
(one year before the AIDS epidemic became "official"). These
Manhattan gays in 1980 had the highest incidence of HIV anywhere in
the world, including Africa, the supposed birthplace of HIV and AIDS.
Forty percent of the men were HIV-positive in 1984. [9] And, as
previously noted, one out of five gay men (20%) in an AIDS study
group in New York City in 1982 tested positive for the new KS herpes-
8 virus.[3]
It must be assumed that many of the men in the experiment eventually
died of AIDS. The actual number of AIDS deaths has never been
revealed. Attempts to secure this vital medical information have been
rebuffed due to "confidentiality issues."
The origin and spread of the new Kaposi's Sarcoma virus
We are expected to believe that two primate viruses out of the
African jungle "jumped species" -and ended up exclusively in the
blood of white gay men in Manhattan in 1979. Such an unlikely
biological scenario has the markings of a scientific fairy tale; and
I remain stupefied that this theory has been so readily and
universally accepted as "fact" by AIDS scientists.
In this regard, Patrick S Moore (a co-discoverer of the KS virus)
claims the virus may have been introduced recently into the human
population from a primate reservoir in Africa (''The emergence of
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus,' New England Journal of
Medicine [Editorial], November 9, 2000). Moore also alerts us to the
danger of "xenotransplantation," whereby animal tissue and parts
(along with animal viruses) are placed into human beings.
The distinct possibility that pre-AIDS primate experimentation was
responsible for transferring HIV-like chimp and monkey viruses into
humans is never mentioned by virologists. In addition, the AIDS
establishment pooh-poohs any connection between the pre-AIDS gay
experiments and the exclusive outbreak of HIV and the KS virus in
homosexuals.
Also long forgotten are the millions of people (including half the
U.S. population) injected with a cancer-causing monkey virus called
simian (monkey) virus -40 which contaminated polio vaccines in the
1960s up to the late 1990s. For more details of this vaccine horror,
see: www.sv40cancer.com) and the recently published, The Virus and
the Vaccine: The True Story of a Cancer-Causing Monkey Virus,
Contaminated Polio Vaccine, and the Millions of Americans Exposed.
Once a rare virus, the KS virus is now widespread among "normal"
blood donors. Donated blood is not routinely tested for the presence
of the virus; and there is concern the KS virus could be further
spread by blood transfusion. [10] In Texas 15% of blood donors now
test positive for the KS virus. [11] A 2004 study indicates that up
to 40% of men with prostate cancer (the most common form of cancer in
men) have evidence of the KS virus in their blood. [12]
The man-made theory of AIDS and the Kaposi's sarcoma epidemic
In this current period of history when the origin of the Iraq war is
shrouded in lies and deception at the highest levels of government,
it is certainly conceivable that the origin of AIDS and two new
viruses could also be shrouded in scientific secrecy, disinformation,
misinformation, and government cover-up.
The evidence gathered here is merely a tiny fraction of the
circumstantial evidence supporting the man-made origin of AIDS and
the KS epidemics, both epidemics erupting immediately after a decade
of dangerous animal cancer virus experimentation. The man-made theory
has been fully explored in my two books, AIDS and the Doctors of
Death and Queer Blood, as well as in Leonard G. Horowitz's Emerging
Viruses, and in Robert E. Lee's AIDS: An Explosion of the Biological
Time-Bomb. A Google search, using the key words "man-made origin of
AIDS," reveals over 300 citations.
Although the scientific community and the media have totally ignored
this subject for the past quarter-century, the man-made "conspiracy
theory" of AIDS refuses to go away.
And finally, after all these years, it is time for medical science to
admit that cancer can never be "gay" - or "straight."
