Emerging Viruses-Aids & Ebola - By Leanard ... - preterhuman.net

host may be months or years, and the disease itself may progresslaggardly towards an irreversible deterioration of the victim.Cells infected with "slow" viruses are in general neither impairednor stimulated to proliferate. Their functions are impaired but thenature of the dysfunction has not as yet been clarified." [18]"It's remarkable how closely this matches several of the mostprominent features of AIDS," I said. "And there's more":"The resistance of the scrapie agent to heat, ether, formalin, andother enzymatic and chemical agents, as well as its very smallparticle size, poses the question whether it is a conventionalvirus, an incomplete virus, or some other agent. . . . The findingsof different [research] groups are at variance and in severalinstances are totally inexplicable within our present concept ofinfectious agents. . . ." [18]"That reads just like the DOD order for a 'new infectivemicroorganism' that couldn't be defended against," I remarked.The article went on to state that additional experiments had beenconducted in order to prompt the human immune response "bythe injection of double-stranded RNA." [18]"HIV is a single-stranded RNA 'slow' virus," I explained. "Andgene cutting and splicing techniques were well developed at thattime." [24]"Could they have cut double-stranded RNA to make singlestranded RNA?""I'm not sure, but what I don't understand is, here, the 'WHOChronicle' stated the primary objective of their viral researchprogram was "to acquire a thorough knowledge of the virusdiseases so that prophylactic and other public health measurescan be introduced as soon as possible." [18]"What's the matter with that?""Look at what they were studying to accomplish it. Two rarediseases that only affect sheep and one totally remote virus thatmakes brain eaters laugh themselves to death.""Do you think they might've been looking at these things for useas biological weapons?" Jackie asked and then added, "Thinkabout it - scrapie - a totally unconventional germ that they're noteven sure what it is. You can't kill it with heat or chemicals, andthere are 'still no tissue culture systems or antibody systems' bywhich enemy defenses could be prepared.""And 'at variance' and 'totally inexplicable' with the currentknowledge at that time," I added, "the enemy would not only besurprised, but baffled and helpless."We reflected again on the DOD document that detailed theirdesire to acquIre:"a new infective microorganism which could differ in certainimportant aspects from any known disease-causing organisms.Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the
