AIDS a weapon of war?

[mike-hunt]

Bad link removed. I came across this searching scribd for papers on Bio weapons.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/5597129/Aids-as-a-Weapon-of-War
The writer claims the AIDS virus was engineered as a Bio weapon by the U.S government. Its a great theory . I would really like to believe that it is possible to engineer a virus that targets homosexuals, i.v. drug users and the whole continent of Africa as well as anywhere that people are to poor,to stupid or to lazy to put on a condom.

Its worth noting that Dr Douglas is a M.D. Most notable for his pioneering research into p.m.s and this article was first published on
http://www.biblebelievers.org.au
This greatly reduces his credibility in my eyes.

This is not the first time I have read such a theory.If you chose to believe this than why not create viruses that target a specific genetic marker that is unique to a specific race. Even better everyone under a certain IQ.

AIDS as a Biological Weapon:

Was it really just a Soviet disinformation campaign?

Consider the usefulness of a weapon that even you, yourself, cannot usually detect, cannot control, have no defense against, and are at risk of being injured by. Until the CIA declassifies a report saying they did it, I'm going to have to remain a skeptic here.

There are reports that there ware AIDS in the 17th century Africa.
Also the negros know where people got AIDS, you got it if you raped a monkey.
According to one theory the Portuguese vaccacination campaign in Congo launched the AIDS to its current state.
They used monkey kidneys as growth medium for the vaccine.
So the interspecies jump might have happened there.

You mean, like: Nuclear Weapons? ;)

I think HIV making the inter species jump without human intervention is very possible . Remember mad cow disease and bird flue and well before genetic modification was possible there was cow pox. All were transmitted animal to human though it is maybe only aids in its human strain that is transmittable human to human.

I have no doubt that various government funded labs are working secretly at producing viruses more selective in who they kill. I can only hope the Americans beat the Chinese in developing a race specific virus. Then how long before a virus can be made to target an single human attacking his own unique DNA ? I guess by then everyone's DNA will be in a government data base all in the interest of greater national security.

The technology to engineer viruses didn't exist in the late seventies/early eighties when the first cases were reported, and apparently the oldest sample containing the virus are from the late fifties.

The US government conspiring? Highly possible.
All scientists around the world conspiring with them? No way.

Even if someone did facilitate* the zoonosis, they wouldn't have the knowledge at the time to predict the... negrocidal properties of the virus.

*That sparks disturbing images.

What about so called SARS ?
And the incidents with it few years ago in Asia ?
Maybe some government is trying to destabilize that region (China especially), so they released the virus.
