| AIDS Spread in Africa was Blamed on Pope Benedict XVI |
When Obama was running for President, he shifted allegiance with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, partially citing his HIV conspiracy theories as a cause. A Slate article ran in March 18, 2008 which laid insulting adjectives on the heads of all who disagreed with their position that questioning the origins of AIDS as being other than natural was a sure sign of lunacy, foreign instigation, or attention-seeking. All of which is highly scientific and objective. The article pointed out you should opt for theories that "sound less whacky," meaning that they were the result of accidents in labs rather than inventions.
Frank Zappa seemed to believe in AIDS conspiracy
However, the technology to create bioweapons is there, and possibly the will and justification. The Soviets had a program for this purpose called Biopreparat. In fact, variants of viruses are made in labs, just like many ingredients in your children's cereals are genetically modified. The Guardian ran a piece in September, 2001 about GMO corn being used for depopulation. It is not science fiction, nor outside the realm of possibility, and certainly not as "whacky" as, say, the Tuskegee Experiment This was carried out by the Public Health Service, involving the purposeful infection of black men to see how syphilis progressed in them without their knowledge or consent.
Here's a document from Ken Alibek, formerly of Biopreparat. Ebola is listed as weaponized by Biopreparat in 1992.However, it was noted elsewhere it could be difficult to put into use effectively.
An important consideration is to note that the CIA excused its MK Ultra program partially on the grounds that the Soviets also has a mind control program.
A somewhat known depopulation agenda, called National Security Study Memorandum 200, was written by Henry Kissinger specifically stating that the burgeoning population in Africa is a threat to American national security. It also called for consideration of "technological innovations" to limit the population, and asked: "Could the United States improve its assistance in the population field and if so, in what form and through which agencies --bilateral, multilateral, private?" In its defense, it then brought up the due consideration of the dignity of the individual.
It was cc'd the the Joint Chiefs of Staffs, the same body that drafted a "whacky" plan to attack U.S. citizens in order to start a war with Cuba called Operation Northwoods.
So, is it really "crackpot," "whacky," or an example of "attention-seeking" when one even questions the possibility of a government sanctioned contagion? And also, in the case of ebola, the contagion took off in Africa, where AIDS did the most damage. This might not be a lock-solid argument that it's a depopulation creation, but it certainly raises questions in anyone who dares to think critically despite mainstream media insults, and due to knowledge about former government activities that have been since declassified.
You decide. I just present what I see.

| Flowchart that Purports to Establish Origin of AIDS |
The following is a document you can find yourself that was put out in response to concerns and accusations about the origin of AIDS by the United States government.
GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
United States General Accounting Office
Washington, DC 20548
June 17, 2002
The Honorable James A. Traficant, Jr.
House of Representatives
Subject: Origin of the AIDS Virus
Dear Mr. Traficant:
In response to your request to review an individual’s allegations that the National
Cancer Institute’s Special Virus Cancer Program (SVCP) created the AIDS virus, we
obtained information on (1) the overall stated purposes and outcomes of SVCP, (2)
scientific assessments of the origins of the AIDS virus (HIV-1) and any possible
evidence regarding the origins of the AIDS virus at SVCP, and (3) the outcome of
recent litigation regarding the origins of the AIDS virus. On June 13, 2002, we briefed
your staff on the results of our analysis. The enclosed slides formed the basis of the
briefing we presented.
To address our objectives, we consulted experts on HIV/AIDS and on SVCP, reviewed
SVCP progress reports and summaries as well as documents that allege SVCP created
the AIDS virus. In addition, we obtained information on recent litigation involving the
individual’s allegations. In summary, we did not find evidence to support the
allegation that SVCP created the AIDS virus. Comments from the National Cancer
Institute on a draft of the briefing slides concluded that they are historically and
scientifically accurate.
We are sending copies of this report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services
and the Acting Director of the National Cancer Institute. We will also make copies
available to others on request. In addition, the report will be available at no charge on
the GAO Web site at http://www.gao.gov. Please contact me at (202) 512-7119 if you
have any questions. The major contributor to this report was Lawrence S. Solomon.
Sincerely yours,
Janet Heinrich

2 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Origin of the AIDS Virus
Briefing for
the Office of the Honorable James A. Traficant, Jr.,
House of Representatives
By the U.S. General Accounting Office
June 13, 2002
Enclosure Enclosure
3 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Background
• An individual has alleged that the visna
virus, which caused illness and death in
Icelandic sheep, was used by the National
Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Special Virus
Cancer Program (SVCP) to develop HIV-1,
the virus that has caused the global AIDS
pandemic.
• This individual cited a SVCP research
program flowchart as evidence that HIV-1
was developed intentionally in its
laboratories.
Enclosure Enclosure
4 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Objectives
• Identify overall stated purposes and outcomes of
SVCP.
• Describe scientific assessments of the origins of the
AIDS virus and any possible evidence regarding the
origin of the AIDS virus at SVCP.
• Describe outcome of recent litigation involving the
individual’s allegations of federal government
involvement in the origins of the AIDS virus.
Enclosure Enclosure
5 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Methodology
To address our objectives, we:
• Consulted experts on HIV/AIDS and on SVCP.
They have expertise in genetics, cell biology, viral
oncology, biochemistry, internal medicine,
epidemiology, public health, and dentistry.
Some of these experts are cited by the individual
as supporters of the allegation that SVCP created
the AIDS virus.
Enclosure Enclosure
6 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Methodology (continued)
• Reviewed SVCP progress reports and summaries
issued between 1967 and 1984.
• Reviewed documents that allege SVCP created the
AIDS virus.
• Obtained information on recent litigation addressing
the individual’s allegations.
• Performed our work from January through May 2002
in accordance with generally accepted government
auditing standards.
Enclosure Enclosure
7 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Purpose of SVCP
• NCI directed SVCP within the intramural laboratories
from 1964 to 1980. After 1980, the work of SVCP
was incorporated into NCI’s broader National Cancer
Plan.
• Purpose was to find viruses in human cancer cells,
relate them to specific cancers (leukemia, etc.), and
develop means to block their effects and reduce
cancer growth.
Enclosure Enclosure
8 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Purpose of SVCP
(continued)
• In 1972, SVCP developed a flowchart depicting
research program to investigate viral oncology
(the study of how viruses cause cancer).
• Outcome of SVCP did not lead to discovery of viruses
in human cancer cells, but did result in several
advances in molecular biology.
Enclosure Enclosure
9 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Scientific Assessment on the
Origins of the AIDS Virus
• The first scientific evidence of HIV-1 predates the
1964 commencement of SVCP.
• HIV-1 was found in blood samples of an African man
who died in 1959. (Zhu, Tuofu et al. “An African HIV-1
Sequence from 1959 and Implications for the Origin of the
Epidemic,” Nature 391, no. 6667 (1998): 594-97.)
• HIV-1 was likely transferred to humans before 1955
from a subspecies of chimpanzees infected with
simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). (Korber, Bette et
al. “Timing the Ancestor of the HIV-1 Pandemic Strains,” Science
288, no. 5472 (2000): 1789-96.)
Enclosure Enclosure
10 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Scientific Assessment on the
Origins of the AIDS Virus
(continued)
• Historical analyses of virus development have
demonstrated that while the visna virus and HIV-1
shared some common origins thousands of years ago,
mutations of key genes over time have resulted in a
wide divergence of these two viruses.
• These analyses have also demonstrated that the
laboratory combination of the visna virus and HIV-1
was highly improbable.
Enclosure Enclosure
11 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Scientific Assessment on the
Origins of the AIDS Virus
(continued)
• Therefore, there is no evidence that SVCP created the
AIDS virus.
Enclosure Enclosure
12 GAO-02-809R Origin of the AIDS Virus
Recent Litigation Involving
Allegations Concerning the
Origins of the AIDS Virus
• U.S. District Court (Northern District of Ohio) issued
order September 16, 1999, dismissing allegations that
the federal government developed agent that
subsequently became known as AIDS.
• U.S. Court of Appeals (Sixth Circuit) affirmed the
U.S. District Court order November 7, 2000. The
Court of Appeals referred to the allegations as having
“no basis in law or in fact.”
