Well, at least, that is an explanation of spook’s words out of Down Under.
Don’t trust BILD. It was used as a KGB disinformation conduit in the 1980s’, posting stories that the US had created HIV/AIDS as a biological weapon against the Third World (Asia and Africa).
The State Department put out a whole series of publications on the Soviet “disinformation” (Disinformatzia) program including the Aids hoax. It might be available online. Well worth reading if you can find it.
Maybe even on the State Department’s own website.
