Quest to Solve Assassination Mystery Revives an AIDS Conspiracy Theory
The New York Times ^ | 27 Jan 2019 | Matt Apuzzo

When South Africa opened its books on the atrocities of the apartheid era in the 1990s, a tantalizing series of faded documents reignited one of the continent’s enduring mysteries. The records suggested that a white militia, operating with the support of the C.I.A. and British intelligence, orchestrated the 1961 plane crash that killed the United Nations secretary general, Dag Hammarskjold.

Twenty years later, a team of documentary filmmakers set out to investigate the shadowy militia, known as the South African Institute for Maritime Research, and to determine whether it had really assassinated Mr. Hammarskjold. What they uncovered, if it is to be believed, was an even more shocking allegation.

In the film, “Cold Case Hammarskjold,” which debuted Saturday at the Sundance Film Festival, a former militia member claims that his organization used phony vaccinations in the early 1990s to spread H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS, in an attempt to wipe out the black population.

“We were at war,” said the former militia member, Alexander Jones. “Black people in South Africa were the enemy.”

I had thought Hooper’s research was debunked years ago.

Thanks for that information.

Half or more of the gay population in NYC and SF never accepted the reality of AIDS as being spread by homosexual activity. The existence of a place nicknamed The Meatrack on Fire Island is a testament to the un satisfied sexual appetites of gay men

No, they are adding fuel to the anti-white fire.

And after there were meds, many queers took it as a bad of honor, which is NUTS, to go out and get AIDS on purpose.

Are you sure you mean a place on Fire Island and not Christopher Street, in Greenwich Village ( Manhattan ), which used to be known as meat something or other.

In your re-cap of the NYT piece by Matt Apuzzo are the watchwords “If it’s to be believed”.
Why are still able to spew crap like this out?

The fastest-growing HIV population is black women. Their men go to prison and have sex with other men, then they get out and infect their women.

My brother in law had a summer rental in Point o Woods in the early 90s. He was afraid to go but others in the house frequented the place every night. Meatrack was the nickname. The place on Christopher may also have had that nickname. Now I beieve it is called Boot and Saddle. And the numbers of AIDS in the city is on the rise. But with the new meds an epidemic is unlikely unless a resistant strain arises, like has happrned with general STDs like gonorrea.

The Soviets and CP were floating this theory back in the 1980s, without supporting evidence. One version of the theory claimed Jim Jones was doing CIA research on monkeys to develop AIDS as a bioweapon; Jones’ ties to the Soviets did not figure into this theory.

Interesting that Matt Apuzzo actually mentioned that the original AIDS is caused by the CIA story was a Soviet Disinformation project which used friendly Marxist/leftist newspapers in the Third World to spread this story.

As I recall from the State Department hearings and USIA reports (Romerstein and Leventhal), there was a paper in India entitled “Blitz” and another elsewhere entitled “Bild” (possibly a German paper)who started the Soviet’s AISA disinformation program.

I called Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Health in DC to ask him directly about the origins of AID and he said it was a natural biological organism, not manmade. (Fauci is still there and working on Ebola and other African killer diseases).

There is a possibility that the Soviets/Russians were behind the Moslem-clerics spread lies about the anti-Polio campaigns that were saving lives in the Indonesian/Sarawak/Sulu region as well as in India and Africa. Some dedicated anti-polio medical workers were brutally killed by Moslem extremists and ignoramuses (and their sacrifice should not be forgotten).

Saner Moslem leaders and clerics finally put a stop to the moslem extremist clerics opposition to the vaccination campaigns.

Nicoli Nattrass summarizes, "Ironically, the ‘HIV as US bioweapon’ conspiracy theory can be traced to a real conspiracy, that is, to a coordinated Soviet Union and East German misinformation campaign confirmed in two separate memoirs by KGB and Stasi officers (Andrew and Gordievsky 1990, Koehler 1999: 260–1). The claim that the US army had manufactured the AIDS virus in its bacteriological laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland, was planted in Indian and Soviet newspapers, reviewed sympathetically in newspapers in Zimbabwe, Kenya and Senegal and reached its apex in 1987 when it made the front page of the London Sunday Express, was broadcast on the CBS evening news and disseminated throughout the world (Andrew and Gordievsky 1990, Sabatier 1989: 64–6, US Department of State 1987). The US government published a rebuttal (US Department of State 1987) and complained to the Soviet Union – resulting in President Gorbachev instructing the KGB to desist (Andrew and Gordievsky 1990: 631). But by that time the legend had gained a life of its own, spawning the many varieties which persist today." She adds that a key early dissident from the theory was prisoner David Gilbert, previously affiliated with the Weather Underground, Revolutionary Armed Task Force, and Black Liberation Army.

PS: Current research traces the origin of AIDS to the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) in the 1920s.
