AIDS:  US Made?

AIDS:  US Made?

     In an article in the Summer-Autumn 1990 issue of "Top Secret", Prof. J.
Segal and Dr. L. Segal illustrate their theory that AIDS is a man-made disease,
originating at Pentagon bacteriological warfare labs at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
"Top Secret" is the international edition of the German magazine Geheim and is a
sister publication to the American Covert Action Information Bulletin (CAIB).
Top Secret carries the Naming Names column, which CAIB is prevented from doing
by the American government, and which names CIA agents in different locations in
the world.  The article, named "AIDS: US-Made Monster," is lengthy and has a lot
of professional jargon.

     "The fatal weakening of the immune system which has given AIDS its name
(Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome)," write the Segals, "has been traced back
to a destruction or a functional failure of the T4-lymphocytes, also called
'helper cells`, which play a regulatory role in the production of antibodies in
the immune system."  In the course of the illness, the number of functional T4-
cells is reduced to such an extent that new anti-bodies cannot be produced and
the defenseless patient remains exposed to a range of infections that under
other circumstances would have been harmless.  Most AIDS patients die from
opportunistic infections rather than from the AIDS virus itself.  The initial
infection is characterized by diarrhea, erysipelas and intermittent fever.  An
apparent recovery follows after 2-3 weeks, and in many cases the patient remains
without symptoms and functions normally for years.

     After several years, the pre-AIDS stage, known as ARC (Aids- Related
Complex) sets in.  This stage includes disorders in the digestive tract, kidneys
and lungs.  In most cases it develops into full-blown AIDS in about a year, at
which point opportunistic illnesses occur.  Disorders in various organ systems
also occur, the most severe in the brain, the symptoms of which range from motor
disorders to severe dementia and death.  The Segals note that despite the fact
that AIDS is transmitted only through sexual intercourse, blood transfusions and
non- sterile hypodermic needles, the infection has spread dramatically.  During
the first few years after its discovery, the number of AIDS patients doubled
every six months, and is still doubling every 12 months now though numerous
measures have been taken against it.  Based on these figures, it is estimated
that in the US, which had 900,000 cas...
