Jeremiah Wright Jr. Says U.S. Government Capable Of Creating AIDS Virus Wright Says U.S. Government Capable Of Creating AIDS Virus Hecklers turn mute as pastor cites documented history of biological warfare against innocent people Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Tuesday, April 29, 2008 | StumbleUpon Barack Obama's outspoken pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., defended his statements accusing the U.S. government of deliberately engineering the AIDS virus as a means of genocide during a National Press Club appearance yesterday by citing the documented history of the U.S. government's involvement in biological warfare operations against innocent people. Asked if he stood behind previous statements about the U.S. government deliberately creating AIDS as a means of genocide against black people, Wright responded, ""Have you read Horowitz' book - Emerging Viruses - AIDS and Ebola?" "Have you read Medical Apartheid," continues Wright as he is heckled from the floor. But when Wright starts to list documented examples of how the U.S. government had been complicit in biological warfare operations against innocent people, the reaction was noticeably mute. Watch the video. "Based on the Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything," Wright continued. "In fact one of the responses to what Saddam Hussein had in terms of biological warfare was a non-question because all we had to do was check the sales record - we sold him those biological weapons that he was using against his own people, so any time a government can put together biological warfare to kill people and then get angry when those people use what we sold them, yes I believe we are capable," Wright concluded. The Tuskegee experiment was a 40-year program run by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) between 1932 and 1972 that studied the effects of syphilis on 399 poor black sharecroppers from Alabama. The men were simply told that they had "bad blood," were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness, and were promised free health care and other benefits if they cooperated. The men were left to suffer as the ravages of the disease took hold and were prevented from obtaining any kind of remedy that would alleviate their pain. “As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die.” Most of the men hoodwinked into taking part in the experiment died directly of syphilis or related complications and their wives and children were also infected. President Bill Clinton had to publicly apologize for the Tuskegee outrage in May 1997 and he was forced to acknowledge that the program was a racist eugenics-based horror that had no scientific merit whatsoever. As researchers shunned by the media, people like Dr. Len Horowitz and Boyd Ed Graves, have asserted, evidence to suggest that the U.S. military-industrial complex artificially engineered the AIDS virus as a means of population control is compelling. Graves' 1971 Special 'HIV' Virus Flow Chart (see it here) "provides absolute evidence of the United States' intent to kill its own citizens and others," according to Graves. The flowchart coordinates over 20,000 scientific papers and fifteen years of progress reports of a secret federal virus development program which dovetails almost perfectly with the spread of AIDS from 1971 onwards. As Jerry Mazza writes, "On July 29, 1969, only days after the Department of Defense (DOD) asked for $10 million from Congress to fund the development of a “synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired . . ." on that day, the chairman of the Republican Task Force on Earth Resources and Population, the Honorable George H. W. Bush, U.S. Representative from Texas, 7th District (1967–71), stressed the pressing need for population control activities to fend off “a growing Third World crisis.” In the following passage taken from the Dept. of Defense request for Appropriation for 1970, HB 15090, the Pentagon's Dr. MacArthur tells Robert L.F. Sikes of the need for a “synthetic biological agent”. There are two things about the biological agent field I would like to mention. One is the possibility of technological surprise. Molecular biology is a field that is advancing very rapidly and eminent biologists believe that within a period of 5 to 10 years it would be possible to produce a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired. Mr. Sikes. Are we doing any work in that field? Dr. MacArthur. We are not. Mr. Sikes.. Why not? Lack of money or lack of interest? Dr. MacArthur. Certainly not lack of interest. Mr. Sikes. Would you provide for our records information on what would be required, what the advantages of such a program would be. the time and the cost involved? Dr. MacArthur. We will be very happy to. The information follows: The dramatic progress being made in the field of molecular biology led us to investigate the relevance of this field of science to biological warfare. A small group of experts considered this matter and provided the following observations: All biological agents up to the present time are representatives of naturally occurring disease. and are thus known by scientists throughout the world. They are easily available to qualified scientists for research. either for offensive or defensive purposes. Within the next 5 to 10 years. it would probably be possible to make a new infective microorganism which could differ in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease. A research program to explore the feasibility of this could be completed in approximately 5 years at the total cost of $10 million. The evidence for the man-made creation of AIDS is overwhelming and too lengthy to include in one article, but Graves' website and Mazza's article are a good start for further research. I also recommend Horowitz' paper, A New Theory On The Origin of AIDS. Since Wright's comments about AIDS and U.S. government complicity in 9/11 were picked up on by the media as an excuse to smear Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate has distanced himself from the pastor. "Some of the comments that Rev. Wright has made offend me, and I understand why they offend the American people," Obama told reporters yesterday. "They don't represent my views and they don't represent what this campaign's about, but he's obviously free to make those statements." Alex Jones' latest documentary film End Game covers the subject of eugenics in full.

This is a lie.
That's not my understanding. As far as I know, the experiments were every bit as evil as those by German doctors in Nazi concentration camps. Or as bad as we're told those were, anyway. Only American doctors working for the American government could never be so evil, of course, so Clinton's apology is all that's needed. No such criminal investigations are warranted. But can you explain why this is a lie?
*sigh* The first research publication that I found from the study itself states: 'The original study population selected during the winter months of 1931-32 and 1932-33 consisted of 410 syphilitics, all of whom were 25 years of age or older. The presence or absence of syphilitic infection was based on history, physical examination, and qualitative serologic tests on the blood. Of the syphilitic groups, 178 were given some treatment for their infection during the period of this first examination. Most of these individuals were among the younger age groups, and were given amounts of treatment varying from 1 to 15 injections of neoarsphenamine [the most common arsenical drug of the times]. Patients who were given treatment were dropped from consideration in the present paper. A second complete physical examination was performed in 1938-39 when 140 untreated syphilitics and 156 controls were examined.' (4) So the plot thickened. Not everyone went without attempted therapy. The Tuskegee study was meant to be a study of men with later stage latent syphilis, who had been infected for at least five years and were not contagious. One Tuskegee research report states: 'The patients [in the study] who had syphilis were all in the latent stage: any acute cases requiring treatment were carefully screened out for standard therapy.' (5) It would appear that those who were in the early stages of infection were treated. It is only in the early stages of infection that sores appear; those sores disappear with the passage of time. It is also only during the early stages that the disease is contagious, which is also when the therapies of the 1930s were ideally administered and thought to have their greatest effect. I also learned that the therapies of that era were in fact so weak, hazardous, lengthy, costly and difficult to administer that very few people with syphilis were willing to tolerate the drugs for the full course of the treatment. Most patients (perhaps 85 per cent) simply voted with their feet and gave up on the 'therapy'. Of those who did suffer through the full treatment (it could take more than a year and required carefully monitored intravenous administration of the drug) relatively few patients were ever cured of the syphilis infection or protected against its potentially damaging effects because of those therapies. Indeed, one of the most astonishing facts about the disease (at least to those of us who are not medical scientists, or who naively associate syphilis with the demise and devastation of Frederick Nietzsche) is that, after the early stages of infection, the vast majority of people who have untreated syphilis either remain asymptomatic all of their lives or else spontaneously recover from the disease. For most people, a syphilis infection is either a self-limiting or self-correcting disease, and in the 1930s the degree to which doing something (a year of protoplasmic arsenic poisoning) was better than doing nothing at all was at the very least uncertain, and was thus a matter of urgent medical and scientific concern (2)
Thanks for the post. Given the info at face value, it seems there is still some room for questions, but this is the first time I've heard of some potential defense for those who conducted this program.
The entire article is well worth a read. It's not nearly so cut and dry as hindsight moralizers would have it. this is the first time I've heard of some potential defense For an explanation of that fact, some also favor a conspiratorial explanation. Personally I prefer Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds as perfectly sufficient.
Yes, but crowds can improperly be induced to either sympathize with the guilty or demonize the innocent. Neither is proper, and whether the doctors in this "study" should fall into the innocent or guilty class is apparently open for debate.
