ZAIRE AND ANGOLA: A CIA MILITARY ARENA<br />

Between 1970 <strong>and</strong> 1975, the period the NAS-NCR scientific advisors<br />

informed DOD decision-makers that AIDS-like viruses could be readied, 4<br />

American cold war efforts focused on Zaire <strong>and</strong> Angola. 33-35 Following<br />

the withdrawal <strong>of</strong> American forces in Vietnam, Secretary <strong>of</strong> State Henry<br />

Kissinger ordered the CIA to begin a major covert military operation<br />

against MPLA (communist bloc backed) "rebels" in Angola. 3637 Zaire,<br />

indebted by over $4.5 billion to the International Monetary Fund, <strong>and</strong><br />

headed by President Mobutu—paradoxically regarded as one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

world's wealthiest men with "a personal fortune put at $2,939,200,000<br />

[1984 estimate] banked in Switzerl<strong>and</strong>—was wooed by NATO allies during<br />

the 1970s (principally the U.S.) to be a staging area for CIA backed,<br />

Portuguese, French, <strong>and</strong> mainly South African mercenaries. 38,39<br />

"American corporate investment, notably in copper <strong>and</strong> aluminum, doubled<br />

to about $50 million following a 1970 visit by Mobutu to the United<br />

States. Major investors included Chase-Manhattan, Ford, General Motors,<br />

Gulf, Shell, Union Carbide, <strong>and</strong> several <strong>other</strong> large concerns." 43<br />

However, in 1975 Mobutu apparently turned against NATO allies <strong>and</strong><br />

increased negotiations with China <strong>and</strong> Russia 40 - 41 He proclaimed his<br />

intention to nationalize foreign owned enterprises. 4243 In June 1975, following<br />

the CIA's thwarted efforts to convince the U.S. Congress to appropriate<br />

more funds for Mobutu <strong>and</strong> the Angola programme (A total <strong>of</strong><br />

$31.7 million had already been "drawn from the CIA's FY 75 contingency<br />

fund" which was "exhausted on 27 November 1975"). 39 Mobutu expelled<br />

the American ambassador <strong>and</strong> arrested many <strong>of</strong> the CIA's Zairian agents,<br />

placing some under death sentences. 40,41<br />

The following year, in October 1976, the "Ebola Zaire virus" broke-out<br />

in "fifty five villages surrounding the [Yambuku] hospital" first killing<br />

"people who had received injections." Mobutu then ordered his army to<br />

"seal <strong>of</strong>f the Bumba zone with roadblocks" <strong>and</strong> "shoot anyone trying to<br />

come out" so "no one knew what was happening, who was dying, [or]<br />

what the virus was doing." 44<br />

Shortly thereafter, Ebola victim specimens were sent to the CDC,<br />

Special (meaning "secret" within the American intelligence community)<br />

Pathogens Branch; to Porton, Engl<strong>and</strong>'s controversial chemical <strong>and</strong> biological<br />

weapons (CBW) laboratories; 45 <strong>and</strong> teams <strong>of</strong> WHO <strong>and</strong> CDC<br />

researchers were dispatched to the Ebola region in Mobutu's private,<br />

American supplied C-130 Buffalo troop transport plant. 44
