IS AIDS A MAN-MADE DISEASE? The motives. Again, it's like the agenda of different groups. We use the analogy of nuclear power. If you look at Con Edison, they use nuclear power to generate electric- ity. If you look at the DoD, they use nuclear power to generate bombs. The agenda of this technique depends upon who you are. The cancer researchers were merely looking into the genesis of cancer; in other words, how does cancer occur and can we make viruses that will cause that, can we study it and make new diseases, can we study it and find a cure for cancer? Alternatively, other people, particularly bio-warfare people, were interested in pro- ducing ethnic and racially specific bio- weaponry which they can now do. In other words, if you tell me a select population that you want to exterminate, I could make for you a virus that would selectively kill that group. So again, the agenda depends upon who the group is. And it isn’t just us, it isn't just the United States that's been doing these sorts of experiments. These experiments are being conducted by all the industrialised nations of the world: Japan, France, England, Germany, Russia. This virus is being used in all the bio-warfare centres around the world. 20 The motives. Again, it's like the agenda REFERENCES: Texas Medicine, vol. 69, pp. 65-75, 1973. , of different groups.
