The Suppression of Alternative Medical Therapies 63
"Several U.S. Administration officials such as USIA [CIA] Director
Charles Wick, have accused the Soviet Union of having invented this theory
for propaganda purposes. But actually it is not Soviet scientists at all
who first came up with this theory," Belitskiy reported. "It was first
reported in Western journals by Western scientists, such as Dr. John Seale,
a specialist on venereal diseases at two big London hospitals.
"Just recently a Soviet journalist in Algeria, Aleksandr Zhukov, managed
to interview a European physician at the Moustapha Hospital there,
who made some relevant disclosures on the subject. In the early seventies,
this physician, an immunologist, was working for the West German
OTRAG Corporation in Zaire. His laboratory had been given the assignment
to cultivate viruses ordinarily affecting animals but constituting a
potential danger to man. They were particularly interested in certain unknown
viruses isolated from the African green monkey, and capable of
such rapid replication that they could completely destabilize the immune
system. These viruses, however, were quite harmless for human beings
and the lab's assignment was to develop a mutant virus that would be a
human killer." 7-11,13-22
"Did they succeed" the announcer asked. "To a large extent, yes,"
Belitskiy replied. "The lab was ordered to wind up the project and turn the
results over to certain U.S. researchers, who had been following this work
with keen interest, to such an extent that some of the researchers believed
they were in reality working not for the West German OTRAG Corporation
but for the Pentagon." 59
Two years after Belitskiy's announcement, in 1991, Dr. Jacobo Segal,
professor emeritus of Berlin's Humboldt University told the international
press that the Pentagon theory of AIDS made sense. He alleged the virus
was likely developed "through gene technology" as a result of Pentagon
sponsored animal research, "to permit the attack on human immune cells."
Furthermore, he reported this theory is "supported by many European scientists
and has not been refuted." 60
In 1977, at the height of OTRAG's Zairian missile testing phase, Litton
Industries units received contracts worth: $5 million for medical electronic
equipment from its Hellige division, in Freiburg, West Germany; 61
$19.8 million worth of missile fire-control equipment from the Army; 62
$32.9 million for electronic reconnaissance sensor equipment from the Air
Force; 63 and in 1978 $11.3 million worth of computerized communications
systems for NATO. 64 Some of these military supplies may have been
earmarked for OTRAG. 65
Moreover, given the "cooperation between NATO and the World Health
OrganizatiOD with regard to the control and regulation of the international
exchange of pharmaceutical products, [and] the possible necessity of facing
