The Secret Origin of AIDS in America:
Facts, Fallacies and Conspiracy Theories

In 2006 the AIDS epidemic will be a quarter-century old. Officially
starting in June 1981 as a mysterious and fatal disease exclusively
found in several dozen young white gay men from New York City and Los
Angeles, the disease has now killed 20 million people with 40 million
more currently infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
widely accepted as the sole cause of AIDS. One million Americans are
now infected with HIV; and almost half of the new cases are
African-American.

By Alan Cantwell, MD

The disease was first uncovered in homosexual men from Manhattan. "Gay
cancer," in the form of Kaposi's sarcoma skin tumors, was the most
striking telltale sign; and drugs, promiscuity, and anal sex were all
thought to play a role in the unprecedented suppression of the immune
system. It was soon obvious that the disease was not limited to gays:
the mysterious agent was in the national blood supply, and an epidemic
of AIDS was also uncovered in Central Africa.

In April 1984 Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
announced his discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS. Subsequently, Luc
Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in Paris filed a lawsuit claiming
he had first discovered the AIDS virus at Pasteur, and that Gallo had
stolen the French virus after it was sent to his lab for study.
Twenty-five years later, the origin of AIDS still remains a mystery.
The disease is widely believed to have originated in Africa when a
primate (monkey) virus "jumped species" to first infect Black Africans.
However, it is important to note that this belief is theory, not proven
fact.

Montagnier has wisely cautioned that it is extremely important to
distinguish between the ancestral origin of HIV and the actual
beginning of the AIDS epidemic. The animal virus ancestor of HIV may
indeed be centuries old, but it is obvious that the epidemic itself is
new.

The epidemic did not begin in Africa. The first AIDS cases were
uncovered in Manhattan in 1979. At that time there were no reported
African cases. In fact, the AIDS epidemic in Africa did not begin until
the autumn of 1982 at the earliest.

How was HIV introduced exclusively into the gay community in the late
1970s? The exclusive introduction of HIV into the homosexual population
of New York City is an unprecedented event in the history of medicine.
This biologic phenomenon has never been fully explained scientifically.
There is certainly no evidence to indicate white gay men were the only
people exposed to sexual contact with Africans, particularly at a time
when the epidemic did not exist in Africa. Furthermore, it is
biologically impossible for a purported sexually-transmitted and blood
borne "virus out of Africa" to infect only young, white, healthy men in
Manhattan! Yet, the impossible did happen. Despite these facts, we are
repeatedly told that AIDS began in Africa, even though the American
epidemic began before the African epidemic.

The mixing of AIDS facts and fallacies has long been apparent to
researchers like myself who are convinced that HIV did not come from
Mother Nature and "species jumping", but was most likely introduced via
contaminated vaccine experiments exclusively targeting the Black
African and the American Gay community.

Before exploring the man-made theory of AIDS, it is important to note a
small but highly vocal group who believes the cause of AIDS is still
unknown, that the AIDS blood test is worthless, and that HIV is a
harmless virus that is not sexually transmitted. This group, headed by
retrovirologist Peter Duesberg and other well-credential scientific
"dissidents", believes AIDS is a toxic and nutritional syndrome. They
blame AIDS on recreational drug use among gays - and poverty and
malnutrition in Africa for the disease.

As a medical doctor and AIDS and cancer researcher, I am certainly not
in accord with this group, but they have been quite successful
politically, influencing world leaders like President Thabo Mbeki of
South Africa, much to the chagrin of the World Health Organization. For
more information, go to www.google.com and type-in "VirusMyth" or "The
Perth Group".

Genetic Engineering and the AIDS Epidemic
There is a close connection between the rise of genetic engineering and
mixing of viruses in the early 1970s and the outbreak of HIV in the
late 1970s. This connection persists in the form of the many
unprecedented "emerging diseases" caused by "new viruses" that continue
up to the present time.

In 1970 the discovery of a cell enzyme, called "reverse transcriptase"
by Howard Temin and David Baltimore, allowed molecular biologists to
detect so-called retroviruses in some animal cancers. It was soon
recognized that retroviruses could be found normally in the genes of
many animal cells, and that scientists could manipulated these viruses
to produce detrimental effects on the immune system. In "species
jumping" laboratory experiments, many viruses were transferred between
different animal species and were also adapted to human cells.

As part of President Richard Nixon's "War on Cancer, " genetic
engineering of viruses became an integral part of the now largely
forgotten Special Virus Cancer Program, conducted under the auspices of
the NCI. Nixon also transferred part of the Army's biological warfare
unit at Fort Detrick, Maryland, over to the NCI, thereby allowing
secret biowarfare experimentation to be carried out under cover of bona
fide cancer research.

All this virus transfer and molecular manipulation was a biologic
disaster waiting to happen. What would happen if one of these highly
dangerous genetic creations escaped from the laboratory into the public
sector? This culminated in a historic conference entitled "Biohazards
in Biological Research" held at Asilomar, near Pacific Grove in
California in 1973. Despite the biologic dangers, it was decided to
continue this research.

By the late-1970s the War against Cancer and the Virus Cancer Program
proved a bust with no cancer-causing retroviruses found in humans. The
Program was winding down in 1978, at the exact time when government
scientists were also enrolling thousands of gay men in New York City to
serve as guinea pigs in the hepatitis B experiment that took place that
same year at the New York Blood Center in Manhattan. In 1979 the first
cases of AIDS in gay men were reported from Manhattan. Coincidence? I
think not.

Five years later, Gallo, who had worked for the Virus Cancer Program
(VCP), "discovered" the retrovirus that causes AIDS; and Duesberg, who
also worked for the VCP, continues to declare that HIV is harmless.

Is there a connection between the laboratory manipulation of primate
retroviruses in the 1970s and the outbreak of AIDS? Or did Mother
Nature conveniently pick that exact time to jump monkey genes into gay
men to spectacularly revive the science of retrovirology and the
careers of virologists like Gallo?

The Gay Vaccine Experiment
The earliest AIDS cases in America can be clearly traced back to the
time period when the hepatitis B experiment began at the New York Blood
Center. The Center began injecting gay men with multiple doses of the
experimental vaccine in November 1978. The inoculations ended in
October 1979, less than two years before the official start of the
epidemic. Most importantly, the vaccine was developed in chimpanzees -
the primate now thought to contain the "ancestor" virus of HIV. Also
downplayed is the Center's pre-AIDS connection to primate research in
Africa and also to a primate center in the New York City area. The
final experimental vaccine was also made by Merck and the NIH from the
pooled serum specimens of countless gay men who carried the hepatitis B
virus in their blood.

The New York Blood Center (NYBC) is the largest independent blood
supplier and distributor in the USA. In 1970, Alfred M Prince, M.D.,
head of the NYBC Laboratory of Virology, began his hepatitis research
with chimps housed at LEMSIP (the Laboratory for Experimental Medicine
and Surgery) in downstate Tuxedo, NY. Until disbanded in 1997, LEMSIP
supplied New York area scientists with primates and primate parts for
transplantation and virus research.

Founded in 1965, LEMSIP was affiliated with New York University Medical
Center, where the first cases of AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma were
discovered in 1979. NYU Medical Center researchers were also heavily
involved in the development of the experimental hepatitis B vaccine,
and the Center received government grants and contracts connected with
biological warfare research beginning in 1969, according to Dr. Leonard
Horowitz, author of Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola [1996].

In 1974 Prince, with the support of Aaron Kellner, President of the
NYBC, moved the chimp hepatitis research to a new primate center called
Vilab II in Robertsfield, Liberia, in Africa. Chimps were captured from
various parts of West Africa and brought to VILAB. The lab also prides
itself by releasing "rehabilitated" chimps back into the wild. One
cannot help but wonder if some of the purported "ancestors" of HIV in
the African bush have their origin in chimpanzees held in African
primate labs for vaccine and medical experimentation.

The hepatitis B experiment, which inoculated over 1,000 healthy gay
men, was a huge success with 96% of the men developing antibodies again
the hepatitis virus. This high rate of success could not have been
achieved if the men were immunosuppressed, because immunosuppressed
people do not easily form antibodies to the vaccine. The experiment was
followed by similar hepatitis B experiments using gay men in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Denver and St. Louis, beginning in
March 1980 and ending in October 1981, the same year the epidemic
became official.

In the mid-1980s the many blood specimens donated by the gay Manhattan
men during the experiment were retrospectively examined for HIV
infection by researchers at the NYBC. It was determined that 6% of the
specimens donated between 1978-1979 were positive for HIV. By 1984 (the
end of the study period) over 40% of the men tested positive for HIV.

The final fate of all the men in the experiment has never been
revealed. However, the blood donated by these men are the oldest
HIV-positive blood tests on record in the United States. The full story
of this experiment and its aftermath are contained in my two books on
man-made AIDS: AIDS and the Doctors of Death [1988], and Queer Blood
[1993]. For details, google: "gay hepatitis B experiment." One fact is
obvious: There was no AIDS in America until the exact year the
government began experimenting with gay men.

There is also a suppressed connection between the outbreak of AIDS in
Africa and the widespread vaccine programs conducted by the World
Health Organization (WHO) in the 1970s in Central Africa, particularly
the smallpox eradication program. On May 11, 1987, London Times science
writer Pearce Wright suggested the smallpox vaccine program could have
awakened a "dormant" AIDS virus infection in Africa. Gallo was quoted
as saying," The link between the WHO program and the epidemic is an
interesting and important hypothesis. I cannot say that it actually
happened, but I have been saying for some years that the use of live
vaccines, such as that used for smallpox, can activate a dormant
infection such as HIV."

This explosive story linking AIDS to African vaccines was suppressed
and never appeared in the controlled major American media. The
genocidal and depopulation implications of this suppressed story can be
found on the Internet by googling "WHO Murdered Africa", by William
Campbell Douglas, M.D.

Vaccines, Species Jumping, and HIV
There are inherent dangers in vaccine production because vaccines are
made on living cells. Contamination with bacteria and viruses are
constant problems during the manufacturing process. Laboratory
additives used to feed the cell cultures (such as fetal bovine [cow]
serum) may also be a source of microbial contamination. Some
researchers believe living and killed viruses injected into the body
can combine with other viruses normally present in the body, resulting
in disease-causing "recombinants." Vaccines can also contain viral
particles, as well as newly recognized tiny bacteria known as
"nanobacteria." Half the 2004 flu vaccine supply was destroyed due to
contamination with disease-causing bacteria. The dangers of vaccines
are downplayed in an attempt to assure the public that vaccines are
safe.

We are repeatedly told that HIV is the first primate virus to "jump
species" and produce an epidemic in humans. But, in truth, the AIDS
epidemic is the second instance in which a monkey virus has been
transferred to humans via vaccines.

Rarely-publicized is the fact that a cancer-causing monkey virus jumped
species a half century ago when contaminated polio vaccines were
injected into millions of people, including half the U.S. population of
that era. In the early 1960s it was discovered that some lots of polio
vaccine manufactured on rhesus monkey kidney cells during the period
1955 to 1963 were contaminated with a monkey virus called SV40 (Simian
virus #40). This primate virus was proven to cause cancer in
experimental animals. However, to this day, health officials still
insist there is no proof that SV40 causes human cancer.

Despite the lack of government interest, genetic and immunologic
studies of SV40 by independent researchers over the past decade
indicate this virus is clearly associated with rapidly-fatal cancers of
the lung (mesothelioma), bone marrow cancer (multiple myeloma), brain
tumors in children, and other forms of cancer.

A Washington Times report (September 21, 2003) states, "Some of the
polio vaccine given to millions of American children from 1962 until
2000 could have been contaminated with a monkey virus that shows up in
some cancers, according to documents and testimony to be delivered to a
House committee Wednesday. The vaccine manufacturer said such claims
'don't have any validity,' and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) agrees." (See the website: www.sv40cancer.com)

For anyone who still believes vaccine makers and health officials
always act in your best interest, I would highly recommend a recently
published book titled The Virus and the Vaccine: The True Story of a
Cancer-Causing Monkey Virus, Contaminated Polio Vaccine, and the
Millions of Americans Exposed, by Debbie Bookchin and Jim Schumacher.

Medical Experimentation and Bio Warfare
The idea of man-made AIDS is often considered a paranoid belief. Why
would scientists introduce a virus to kill millions of people? AIDS
experts routinely blame primates and human sexuality for the origin and
spread of HIV, but they never consider the possibility that HIV could
have originated in an animal cancer virus laboratory.

The sad truth is that governments and the military do indeed experiment
on unsuspecting citizens. (Google: secret medical experimentation) And
Iraqi bioweapons of mass destruction was one of the reasons used to
justify the current invasion of Iraq.

It is clear that AIDS started as a "gay disease." However, yet another
downplayed fact is that the HIV "strain" in America is different from
the HIV strains found in Africa.

Harvard virologist Max Essex claims the American HIV strain spreads
more easily via anal sex; whereas the African strains spread more
efficiently via vaginal sex. (Google: Max Essex + HIV strain) This
could explain why the American epidemic spreads primarily through
homosexual activity and anal sex , while in Africa it is primarily
heterosexual and spreads through vaginal sex. The "different" HIV
strain in America is further evidence that "American AIDS" did not
originate in Africa.

The Relationship between AIDS and Cancer

The relationship between AIDS and cancer is also downplayed, along with
the connection between the Special Virus Cancer Program and the ensuing
outbreak of HIV. In Gallo's book he readily admits to a relationship
between AIDS and cancer, noting that, "many people with AIDS develop
one or more cancers." There is now no doubt that HIV can lead to an
increased incidence of cancer, particularly Kaposi's sarcoma, Hodgkin's
disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and cervical cancer.

The purpose of the Virus Cancer Program was two-fold. First, to
discover a virus in humans that could cause a form of cancer. Second,
to develop immunosuppressive laboratory viruses useful in "making"
cancer in experimental animals.

When Gallo discovered HIV in 1984, he called it a cancer-causing
"leukemia/lymphoma" virus. The name was quickly changed to a
"lymphotropic" virus, thus obscuring the relationship between the new
"gay disease" and cancer. Virologists were quickly convinced that the
virus came from primates, and both Gallo and Essex heavily promoted the
readily accepted African green monkey origin of HIV. A decade later,
chimpanzees (rather than monkeys) became the more favored origin. The
primate origin of HIV was further obscured by titling the virus as a
"human immunodeficiency virus" (HIV) , rather than calling it "primate
immunodeficiency virus" (or PIV) in humans.

Is HIV the sole cause of AIDS?
As noted, HIV is believed to be the sole cause of AIDS, although a few
AIDS dissidents believe HIV is harmless. Generally disregarded by both
groups is the matter of the origin of Kaposi's sarcoma, the "gay
cancer" associated with AIDS.

In 1994 it was reported that KS is actually caused by a new "herpes-8"
virus. KS cases were first discovered in the late nineteenth century;
and before AIDS it was a rare form of cancer. Before AIDS, KS was a
non-transmissible disease that was never seen in young American men.
The finding of a new KS virus indicates that two different viruses were
simultaneously introduced into gay men when AIDS began in the late
1970s. No rational explanation has been put forth for this bizarre
occurrence; and how this "new" virus could cause a gay epidemic of KS
has never been explained satisfactorily. Further complicating the "sole
cause" of AIDS scenario is the recent discovery of tiny bacterial forms
known as "mycoplasma." Luc Montagnier believes these microbes are
important infectious "co-factors" in the development of AIDS, although
most AIDS researchers ignore mycoplasma.

The "Cancer Microbe" link to AIDS
Although the precise cause of cancer is unknown, there is a century of
microbial research linking certain tuberculosis-like bacteria to
cancer. This research is ignored as medical heresy, but my own reported
cancer studies indicate that "acid-fast" bacteria indeed exist in
common forms of cancer and in Kaposi's sarcoma. (Google: alan cantwell
+ Kaposi's sarcoma)

I have written extensively about these bacteria in, AIDS; The Mystery &
the Solution(1984), The Cancer Microbe (1990), and Four Women Against
Cancer (2005). Cancer bacteria have characteristics of both bacteria
and viruses. There are also similarities to mycoplasma and to
newly-discovered nanobacteria, currently considered to be the smallest
forms of life and known to contaminate commercial vaccines.
Nanobacteria are ubiquitous and may be involved in the pathology of
many diseases currently considered of unknown cause.
Cancer microbe research has been ignored in AIDS and KS. However,
Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D., in AIDS: What the Discoverers of HIV Never
Admitted (2003), concludes that the real cause of AIDS is not HIV, but
actually tuberculosis-like bacteria. He thinks Gallo and Montagnier
found a retrovirus because that was the only thing they were looking
for.

Unlike Broxmeyer, I believe HIV came out of animal cancer research and
dangerous vaccine and biological warfare experimentation - and that HIV
made its way into vaccines injected into African Blacks and American
Gays. If unrecognized cancer microbes are proven to be an unrecognized
infectious factor in cancer and AIDS, as I believe they are, this would
certainly add to the dangers of genetic engineering of cancer viruses
and new bio-warfare agents.

I believe HIV is essential to produce the immunodeficiency
characteristic of AIDS, but I consider HIV plus unrecognized "cancer
bacteria" to be the causes of AIDS.

The Origin of Gallo's HIV virus
Could HIV be related to reported virus-like forms of cancer bacteria? A
careful reading of how Gallo "isolated" HIV indicates possible
derivation from cancerous cells harboring unrecognized bacteria.

Unlike most bacteria which can be grown on artificial laboratory
culture media, viruses need living cells to grow and survive. Pulitzer
Prize-winning author John Crewdson provides a detailed analysis of the
discovery of HIV in, Science Fictions: A Scientific Mystery, A Massive
Cover-Up, and the Dark Legacy of Robert Gallo [2002], a highly
unflattering portrait of Gallo and an account of the lawsuit initiated
by the Pasteur Institute, accusing Gallo of stealing the AIDS virus.
According to Crewdson, HIV was finally isolated in Gallo's lab by
isolating the virus in pooled blood T-cells from ten patients with
AIDS. From that brew, the virus was cultured in larger amounts for
commercial purposes by growing HIV on "cell lines" derived from the
white blood cells (T-cells) of patients with lymphoma cancer. This
particular strain of HIV became the basis for Gallo's patented HIV
blood test and the resulting lawsuit.

Montagnier claimed that he first discovered HIV at Pasteur and when he
sent the virus to Gallo's lab for testing, he believes Gallo stole the
virus and made it his own discovery. Gallo repeatedly declared his
virus was not the French virus.

It was eventually proven that Montagnier's virus somehow made its way
into Gallo's HIV culture. Just as everyone's fingerprints are
different, so too is every HIV virus. Gallo's virus was molecularly
identical to Montagnier's in every respect. With the intervention of
President Ronald Reagan and the French Premier, the lawsuit was settled
out of court in 1987, with the two researchers agreeing to split the
royalties from the AIDS blood test.

Despite all this, the scientific controversy continued, resulting in
additional investigations by the National Academy of Sciences and the
NIH Office of Scientific Integrity. In 1991, Gallo finally conceded
that Montagnier's virus had most likely contaminated his laboratory and
that his AIDS patented blood test was indeed based on the Pasteur
virus. In 1992, the National Academy of Sciences' panel completed its
investigation, producing a report critical of Gallo.

All these scientific irregularities surrounding the precise lab origin
of HIV point to serious problems in virology. For example, for several
years Gallo was unable or unwilling to admit his virus was identical to
Montagnier's virus, even though they proved to as identical as any two
HIV virus strains could be. Furthermore, the controversy proves how
easily virus laboratories can be contaminated by "outside" viruses.

One of the contentions of the man-made theory of AIDS is that the
experimental hepatitis B vaccine was contaminated with an
immunosuppressive AIDS-causing agent and/or the Kaposi's sarcoma virus.
This theory is condemned as conspiracy theory. Certainly the vaccine
was unlike any other in that it was made from the blood of gay men who
were hepatitis B virus carriers. During the gay experiment at the NYBC
there was concern that something was wrong with the vaccine and that it
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."

Four years before AIDS in 1975, Gallo also reported a "human virus"
(HL-23) that subsequently proved to be three contaminating laboratory
cancer-causing primate viruses (gibbon ape virus, simian sarcoma virus,
and baboon endogenous virus). Gallo claims he has no idea how these
animal viruses contaminated his lab. In 1986 Essex also reported a "new
AIDS virus" that eventually turned out to be a monkey virus traced back
to his own lab. Despite these contaminations, Gallo and Essex both
blamed AIDS on monkeys in the jungle and heavily promoted the "out of
Africa" origin of American AIDS.

After AIDS began there were instances where a strain of HIV isolated
from a particular AIDS patient inadvertently contaminated HIV specimens
from other AIDS patients - and where HIV strains sent to other
laboratories accidentally contaminated additional specimens.

For years Montagnier insisted that Gallo's virus was isolated from a
French patient named Brugiere. In 1991 the two foremost AIDS experts
were astonished to learn that Gallo's strain of HIV actually belonged
to a patient named Laillier. Unbeknownst to Montagnier, the "Bru"
culture had somehow contaminated the "Lai" culture at the Pasteur lab.

Is AIDS Genocide against Gays and Blacks?
Why is there a blackout of the man-made theory of AIDS in the
scientific literature and in the corporate-controlled media? Although
some evidence is presented here, it is a fraction of the documentation
presented in my two books on the man-made epidemic, and in books by Dr.
Leonard Horowitz, and Professor Robert E Lee, and in Dr. Robert
Strecker's video "The Strecker Memorandum", and in other sources.
(Google, "man-made origin of AIDS" for 445 citations.)

I do not believe the exclusive introduction of HIV into the most hated
minority in America was caused by monkeys in the African bush,
particularly when AIDS appeared immediately after the gay experiment.
Why are primates in the African wild blamed when tens of thousands of
captive primates in virus labs all over the world have been injected
with infectious viruses and cancerous tissue for more than a century.

Why were African Blacks targeted? Many Africans and African-Americans
believe AIDS is an experiment to rid the world of Black people, as part
of a government-sanctioned world depopulation program.

American gays were the perfect target to test a new retrovirus. A
largely homophobic public would easily accept HIV infection in gays,
due to their purported promiscuity and drug use. Few people would
believe the U.S. government would secretly test biologic agents on its
civilians, although there is a well-documented history of secret
unethical experimentation extending back to the Cold War of the 1950s
which includes the government's horrendous "radiation experiments."

I cannot explain the silence and apathy on these issues from the Black
and the Gay communities. People don't seem to care much about genocide
unless their own group is affected; and even so, most people are in
denial and don't want to know about man-made AIDS. Many AIDS activists
simply dismiss the man-made theory as a "distraction" which interferes
with HIV testing and treatment, and the search for a cure.

The Secret History of AIDS
The history of AIDS has been deliberately white-washed to obscure its
man-made origin. Knowledge of HIV and other retroviruses came directly
out of the little-known and secret Special Virus Cancer Program of the
1970s. More than one virus was introduced into American gays in the
late 1970s, and mycoplasma and "cancer bacteria" are additional
infectious agents that have been ignored in proclaiming HIV as the
"sole cause of AIDS."

Secret bio-warfare research co-mingled with bona fide cancer research
at the NCI in the decade before AIDS, and that association continues up
to the present time. AIDS in America erupted when government
researchers began experimenting with gays, using an experimental
vaccine developed in primates - the animals purported to contain the
"ancestor virus" of HIV. AIDS in America did not come from Africa. HIV
occurred exclusively in the gay community because the virus was put
there by the "hand of man."

Mother Nature wisely separated the species but, in the decade before
AIDS , genetic researchers repeatedly violated the "species barrier" by
transferring cancer-causing viruses between various animal species,
ostensibly to improve our health.
The man-made theory of AIDS is not based on conspiracy theory. The
theory warrants a full scientific investigation - and the secret
history of HIV and AIDS needs to come out of the closet.
