BioApocalypse:
 
How Secret Experiments May Have Unleashed Cancer Causing Viruses 


By Leonard Horowitz

The American people, along with the rest of the world's population, have been under 
attack by insidious lethal enemies. Most people cannot perceive or conceive that 
shadow governors are engaged in hideous biological and chemical experiments on 
unwitting populations. Minority and ethnic groups especially at risk for toxic 
exposures, many being done in the name of "public health." 

The recent widescale spraying of malathion and Anvil, two known chemical carcinogens 
and immune system toxins, to allegedly prevent West Nile Virus attacks within several 
northeastern American states, is just one example of such "public health policy" based 
on no rational science. Most people are incapable of realising the scope and depth of 
such crimes against humanity. Perceiving, rather, their impotence in altering the 
course of history, and fearing the fight of a crusade, people rationalise their 
inefficacy or indifference in human terms * "Don't tell me. That's just the way it is. 
I can't do anything about it anyway, so I'd rather not know."

During the past two decades, at least six internationally known authorities advanced 
theories that the AIDS virus (HIV-1) was developed by biological weapons researchers, 
and either accidentally or intentionally transmitted it with the help of the United 
States Public Health Service (USPHS) and the United Nations World Health Organisation 
(WHO). A 1969 US military appropriations document obtained through the Freedom of 
Information Act called for $10 million for the development of AIDS-like viruses by 
1975. In fact the National Academy of Sciences / National Research Council had 
informed the Department of Defense (DOD) that:


[I]t 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.


During the 1960s and early 1970s, these agencies, with help from the World Health 
Organisation (WHO), the (US) National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the Rockefeller and 
Alfred P. Sloan Foundations played leading roles in the development of cancer viruses 
for vaccine research and germ warfare. By 1969, the WHO had provided "prototype virus 
strains" for more than 592 virus laboratories in more than 35 different countries. 
That year, four of the most active centres, including the NCI and US Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), distributed 2,514 strains of viruses, 1888 
ampoules of experimental vaccines, and about 100 samples of cell cultures throughout 
the WHO's viral network. 70,000 virus isolations were reported by 1970, and many, 
cultured for further study, were breaking out of the laboratories that tested them.

In March of 1970, WHO consultants even reported the likelihood of massive cancer 
epidemics from such virus outbreaks. Such "biological agents," they noted, "may be 
used... to achieve the simultaneous infection of key groups of people, and the 
military consequences might well be of major importance...." However, they warned of 
the "calculated risk that a virulent mutant might appear and spread rapidly to produce 
an uncontrollable epidemic on a large scale...."

These consultants also predicted that as a consequence of such biological attacks, 
"mass illnesses, deaths, and epidemics" would require the WHO and allied agencies to 
furnish supplies and personnel to deal with the resulting medical emergencies.

The first viruses and retroviruses used for cancer and biological weapons research 
passed through the NCI. Among the premier labs specifically researching, developing, 
and testing immune system destroying viruses was the Cell Tumor Biology Laboratory at 
the NCI. This was headed by Dr. Robert Gallo * the notorious alleged co-discoverer of 
the AIDS virus. To date it remains uncertain when Gallo discovered HIV. It was 
reported Gallo's discovery followed the French Pasteur Institute's Luc Montagnier's 
discovery of LAV, an identical virus, in 1984, but new evidence suggests he may have 
genetically engineered the virus as early as 1970 along with biological weapons 
contractors at Litton Bionetics * a subsidiary of the mega-military weapons producer 
Litton Industries, Inc.

Dr. Gallo's behaviour is, in fact, highly suspicious. As chronicled by bestselling 
deceased author Randy Shilts in And the Band Played On, and more recently by Eleanor 
Burkitt in The Gravest Show on Earth, Gallo's collaborative efforts in search of the 
AIDS virus were deceitful and repugnant. The authors' charged Gallo's ego was largely 
responsible for delaying international progress in search of the AIDS virus. Following 
his alleged find, patents were filed on his and the NCI's behalf keeping the French 
from sharing the royalties associated with the AIDS virus, its culture mediums, cell 
lines, experimental reagents, and tests associated with its discovery, diagnosis, and 
treatment. In an unprecedented act of politics and misplaced faith, Gallo was pardoned 
by President Bill Clinton in 1994 for several counts of misconduct and scientific 
fraud.

Gallo's Research Anthology


Gallo's early publications document his intimate association with Litton Bionetics * 
sixth on US Congress's list of major Army biological weapons contractors for 1969. The 
literature describes a vast number of experiments in which Gallo and co-workers 
bioengineered simian monkey viruses, which were humanly benign, to cause a variety of 
cancers. In fact, Gallo's focus was on the principle model used by cancer virus 
theorists between 1962 and 1972 during the NCI's generously funded, yet largely 
secret, "Special Virus Cancer Program" * the leukemia-lymphoma-sarcoma complex. 
Leukemias and lymphomas, which were rare at that time, and Kaposis sarcoma, which was 
virtually nonexistent, are now the most common cancers associated with HIV infection. 

During the early 1970s, Gallo's teams extracted the nucleic acids from these harmless 
simian monkey viruses, infused their empty envelopes with cat leukemia RNA, along with 
chicken sarcoma RNA, to produce mutants that produced a laundry list of diseases as 
seen in AIDS patients today. In fact, to enable the virus to jump species, Gallo and 
Litton Bionetics researchers cultured these newly created germs in human white blood 
cells to alter their envelope characteristics. This altered the viruses' envelop 
proteins and allowed the germs to attach to and move through human cell membranes, 
ultimately altering the cellular DNA * the blueprint of life. Most astonishing, in a 
1970 publication of the National Academy of Sciences, Gallo and company celebrated 
these efforts by offering them to NATO's military scientists for further investigation 
and testing.

HIV-1, HIV-2, and the "Big Bang"

Clearly, the mass of scientific evidence indicates the development of HIV-1, and its 
progenitor HIV-2, evolved during the early 1970s. Allegations that HIV had been found 
in tissues of people who died with AIDS-like diseases before that time have been 
scientifically and wholly debunked. According to Dr. Gerald Myers, chief molecular 
geneticist at the US government's Los Alamos Laboratory, something major happened in 
the early 1970s to convert HIV-2, or similar simian viruses, into HIV-1. This could 
easily have resulted from Gallo and Bionetics experiments in which HIV-2-like viruses 
were cultured in human WBCs.

During the 1996 National AIDS conference in San Francisco, I asked Dr. Max Essex, 
Director of Harvard's AIDS Institute, and co-discoverer of HIV-2 in West African 
women, an important question. "How, other than through vaccines, might HIV-2, a known 
simian monkey virus laboratory contaminant, not found in monkeys in the wild, come to 
be circulating in African women?" Vaccines, principally made from monkey serum 
extracts, and tainted by man-made monkey virus mutants, occurred to me to be the only 
plausible explanation.

Essex explained he did not know. He only informed me how his monkeys became 
contaminated. "Other researchers had inoculated them with human tissues [for various 
non-HIV related experiments] before they got to our lab," he said. In other words, 
human experiments were again implicated. The question remained * how did African 
natives come by HIV-2 and HIV-1 infections in the first place?

Gallo's speculation that the AIDS virus, like his earlier leukemia virus discovery, 
HTLV-1, naturally jumped species from African green monkey to man is far-fetched, if 
not totally absurd, especially in light of what was done in his and affiliated labs in 
Bethesda and Northwest Uganda to create human leukemia, sarcoma, and immune system 
destroying viruses. Clearly, these man-made creations most plausibly emerged from NCI 
and DOD affiliated laboratories. However, the question of accidental versus genocidal 
transmission remains.

Early Targeting of Minority America


As many as two-thirds of African Americans recently surveyed believe the AIDS epidemic 
may be genocide. Upon what evidence are such beliefs based? The targeting of gay and 
civil rights leaders and groups at home and abroad by the FBI and CIA during and after 
the McCarthy era is well documented. The gay rights movement was seen by American 
intelligence officials, such as J. Edgar Hoover, as communist inspired. Black 
nationalist groups and civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King were likewise 
considered communist beneficiaries.

During the late 1960s through the 1980s, the CIA worked to: 1) prevent the coalition 
of militant black nationalist groups and the beginning of a "true black revolution," 
and 2) prevent the rise of a black "messiah." 360 disruptive American intelligence 
operations developed under the Communist Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) 
Black Nationalist Hate Group's umbrella, including "Operation Chaos" which ran from 
1968 until 1974. Dr. Henry Kissinger, as National Security Advisor, played a pivotal 
role in this program during the Nixon era, personally oversaw major CIA and FBI 
intelligence operations, and directed the military chiefs of staff to consider these 
perceived threats to national security and world economic order.

Only days after the DOD requisitioned $10 million from Congress to fund the 
development of AIDS-like viruses, on July 29, 1969, the House Republican committee, 
chaired by the Honorable George Bush of Texas, cited the urgent need for population 
control activities to fend off "a growing Third World crisis." Indeed, there was 
extreme American displeasure with Black African culture and its growing socialist 
threat. Africa, particularly the resource wealthy central African nations, would not 
be allowed to fall under communist control. Thus, the roots of Third World foreign 
policy was established under Kissinger's anticommunist direction.

During this period, President Nixon appealed for urgent action for population control. 
African economic, military, and "humanitarian" policies were shaped by Kissinger, 
Nixon, and later Jimmy Carter to force compliance with American economic and political 
objectives. Subsequent World Bank, NASA, and even National Academy of Sciences (NAS) 
activities in Africa expressed the imperialist philosophy. USAID and WHO sponsored 
immunisation programs in central Africa, likewise, reflected American intelligence 
interests, and were even used by CIA agents to infiltrate the region. The appointment 
of Dr. Henry Kissinger in 1968 as National Security Advisor * the most influential 
position in the Nixon White House * is noteworthy. Kissinger's alternate was Mr. Roy 
Ash, the President of Litton Industries * among the world's largest military weapons 
contractors, and parent company of the Army's biological weapons contracting firm 
Litton Bionetics with whom Dr. Robert Gallo of the NCI worked.

Litton military contracts, during the first Nixon administration, exceeded $5 billion. 
Litton Bionetics received approximately $2 million a year during this time under one 
NCI contract entitled, "Investigations of Viral Carcinogenesis in Primates." Another 
contract called for Bionetics to supply NCI researchers throughout the world with 
primates for cancer studies. At this same time, Congress supplied the DOD with the 
same allotment, $2 million a year, for AIDS-like virus development.

Gallo and Bionetics researchers John Landon and Robert Ting directed the NCI effort 
whose "proposed course" was the continuation of studies wherein "an RNA-dependent DNA 
polymerase [unique enzyme identical to the one found in human leukemia and AIDS 
viruses] similar to that associated with RNA tumour viruses... [would be] isolated, 
purified and concentrated 200-fold, making possible its further characterisation and 
study in relation to the leukemic process in man... with increased emphasis on 
monitoring and intensive care of inoculated animals to determine if active infection 
occurs, effects of infection, and degree of immunosuppression when used." This was, of 
course, more than six years before Gallo's alleged discovery of HTLV-1, and fourteen 
years before his alleged discovery of the AIDS virus. "Further studies of human 
neoplasms at [the] molecular level will continue," the scientists wrote.

And though the researchers added, "inasmuch as tests for the biological activity of 
candidate human viruses will not be tested in the human species," they clearly 
intended to develop "another system... for these determinations and, subsequently for 
the evaluation of vaccines or other measures of [cancer] control" in humans.

Kissinger's Contributions


All of this occurred while Henry Kissinger controlled The Defense Program Review 
Committee, which considered the funding requests for military expenditures including 
biological weapons. Upon taking office as advisor for national security, Kissinger 
ordered Melvin Laird to reassess America's biological weapons capabilities. His 
subsequent public urging of Nixon's signing of the Geneva Accord, outlawing the use of 
biological weapons, contradicted his secret appropriations directives which guaranteed 
the CIA's ability to stockpile biological weapons for covert operations as late as 
1975, and likely beyond.

Between 1969 and 1976, Kissinger also directed the powerful 40 Committee that 
authorised covert actions by the CIA in Central Africa in the vicinity where AIDS and 
Ebola first broke out. Ebola initially struck a South African woman in 1975, and then 
several hundred people in southern Sudan and northern Zaire in 1976. AIDS, of course, 
was initially seen simultaneously in Central Africa and New York City in 1978.
Under Kissinger's National Security Council directives, USAID began focusing vast 
resources on controlling Third World populations by the late 1960s. A computer search 
of "USAID" "Population Control," "Vaccines," and "World Health Organisation" 
literature between 1970 and 1975 revealed 733 "USAID-Population Control" studies. The 
same search after 1975 found none. The entire field of "Population Control" had 
vanished from view. The subject heading had been terminated and replaced with the more 
comforting "maternal and child health."

A review of US Department of State Bulletins revealed that by 1976 Joseph Califano, 
who had advised Kissinger to appoint Alexander Haig as his White House assistant, took 
the lead in attacking "rapid population growth" in the Third World. His subsequent 
policies included the authorisation of USAID funds for Merck, Sharp & Dohme (MSD) * 
related hepatitis B vaccine studies in central Africa * studies that had actually 
begun cooperatively with Litton Bionetics researchers during their "investigation of 
viral carcinogenesis in primates."

The paper trail, in the scientific literature, linking MSD investigators with Gallo 
and Bionetics researchers who conducted cancer virus and hepatitis B vaccine studies 
simultaneously in New York City and Central Africa between 1970 and 1974 is lengthy 
but clear. Through the New York City Blood Bank (NYCBB) and other biological weapons 
contractors at the New York University Medical Center (NYUMC), as early as 1969, that 
is, shortly after Kissinger became NSC director, high risk humans were inoculated with 
the first doses of experimental hepatitis B vaccine. Just as the NCI-Bionetics 
research team proposed would be their course of action, the new vaccine was composed 
of live and attenuated viruses that had only been tested on monkeys.
More astonishing, MSD researchers worked in cooperation with Gallo's group at the NCI 
and Litton Bionetics, and combined, they conducted similar studies in Central Africa 
under US Army and USAID contracts. A "Drug Development Branch" of the NCI served as a 
conduit of experimental viruses, vaccines, and drugs between Gallo and company and 
MSD. Thus, the alleged channel through which HIV-tainted hepatitis B vaccines passed 
between the NCI, Bionetics, and MSD was operating by 1970.

At that time, besides hepatitis, massive multicomponent vaccine trials were underway 
in Central and West Africa. Twenty country immunisation programs supported by USAID, 
the CDC, the WHO and MSD tested for the first time several combined vaccines including 
measles, smallpox, and others. During this period, plans to prompt Congressional 
legislation freeing MSD and other vaccine producers from liability and costly 
litigation from personal injury claims related to immunisation were made. "Propaganda 
campaigns" were then initiated at home and abroad.

One document, discovered during this author's search of the scientific literature, 
expressed a view among leading government scientists that race, socioeconomic status, 
concerns over "national security," and the safety of the white middle class should be 
the principle motive behind Third World and domestic immunisation practices. "In the 
United States, the central cities will continue to seethe with immunisable diseases 
and thereby create a significant risk to other parts of the society until these people 
['Spanish-Americans and Negroes'] are regularly included in immunisation practice," 
Dr. J. D. Millar from the CDC warned.

Other "Special Virus Cancer Program" reports published in 1971 and 1972 by the NCI 
were serendipitously discovered by the author in the basement of the government 
documents department at Davis Library, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. 
These books document that Litton Bionetics supplied all other NCI contractors, 
including those in New York City, with experimental monkeys, monkey viruses, monkey 
virus "hybrids" (that is, genetically altered monkey viruses), infected monkey 
tissues, cell lines, and other reagents needed to facilitate primate cancer studies 
and the development of vaccines. Only one percent of this entire program's budget went 
towards assuring biohazard containment. This money was paid to Dow Chemical Company 
under a separate contract.

Despite Dow's efforts, researchers working in New York City for MSD and the NYUMC, in 
1974, reported "more than 70%" of their quarantined caged monkeys had been 
environmentally contaminated with hepatitis and other viruses. Yet, this did not stop 
these authorities from developing the first four lots of experimental hepatitis B 
vaccine that was used on the first human-guinea-pigs between 1970s and 1974 
simultaneously in Central Africa and Manhattan.

Thus, all it might have taken was one monkey, infected by NCI researchers at Litton 
Bionetics's laboratories, with an AIDS-like virus infection, or even its neighbour, to 
have spread the virus through the first hepatitis B vaccine lots "containing 200,000 
human doses," to cause the AIDS pandemic we have today.

The CIA and AIDS


In 1975, following a storm of public outrage over the CIA's involvement in Watergate, 
the agency was investigated and chastised by the Rockefeller Commission and two 
Congressional committees.

That year, word had leaked from the Army's "special," that is, secret operations 
division at Fort Detrick, Maryland that the CIA was illegally storing stockpiles of 
deadly bacteria, viruses, and other toxins. As a result, a Select Committee To Study 
Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities met to investigate. 
Senator Frank Church presided.

The Church hearings exposed much about the illegal storage of biological weapons (BW) 
by the CIA, and their intended use in covert operations. Unfortunately, the American 
news media, focusing on a single neurotoxin purified from shellfish, failed to report 
the most incriminating facts. The CIA, according to director Bill Colby, planned to 
use its more lethal biologicals in "covert operations" as directed by the National 
Security Council, then directed by Henry Kissinger. Ultimately, the investigators and 
the media shielded Kissinger from the Church Committee's indictments along with other 
chief decision makers. 

In fact, the CIA's BW operation began as early as 1947 with the agency's metamorphosis 
from the OSS. Following the war, the CIA exfiltrated more than 900 Nazi scientists to 
America, including Hitler's chief biological weapons developer Dr. Erich Traub. At 
that time, Kissinger, then in his late twenties, served as General Alexander Bolling's 
chief translator. Bolling directed American intelligence at the time and was 
"Godfather" to the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), the agency that ran the Nazi 
exfiltration program * Project Paperclip. 

Kissinger's other intelligence assignments by 1948 included overseeing Nazi hunting 
efforts in more than twenty German towns, and instructing other intelligence officers 
in Nazi tracking tactics at the European Command Intelligence School in Oberammergau. 
Thus, I was not surprised to learn that the Defense Department's request for funding a 
five-year AIDS-like virus development program, beginning in 1970, came when Kissinger 
oversaw the 40 Committee which authorised the budget and covert activities of the CIA. 
The AIDS-like viruses were readied by 1975. 

History records that following the American forces withdrawal from Vietnam, Kissinger 
immediately focused anticommunist undertakings on the resource wealthy region of 
Central Africa. Zaire and its neighbours Angola and Sudan were specifically targeted. 
CIA Director William Colby's 1975 Church Committee admission then that his agency's 
interest in BW was for offensive uses during covert operations at the very time the 
CIA was secretly operating at full force in this region * ground zero for the AIDS and 
Ebola outbreaks * is noteworthy.

Nathan Gordon, Chief of the chemistry branch of the Technical Services Division of the 
CIA gave additional testimony of the agency's possible use of extensive virus 
stockpiles to assistant intelligence agency scientists in their work on mass 
immunisation projects, vaccine development, and cancer research. This was precisely 
the work conducted by NCI contractors including Merck, Sharp & Dohme and Litton 
Bionetics in Bethesda and Northwest Uganda, and New York collaborators at the New York 
University Medical Center and the infamous New York Blood Bank * the source of more 
than 10,000 HIV infections among American hemophiliacs.

Moreover, Church Committee discussions focused on congressional testimony which 
documented that the CIA had, in fact, been receiving "deadly poison[s]" manufactured 
by the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) and delivered to Fort Detrick for 
use in human experiments and covert operations.
Additional 1977 hearings published in the Congressional Record note that "George W. 
Merck, of the prominent Merck pharmaceutical firm," had been appointed by President 
Roosevelt, during World War II, Director of the War Research Service charged with 
overseeing America's biological weapons industry.

The CIA in Africa


Between 1970 and 1975, Kissinger ordered the CIA to begin a major covert military 
operation against MPLA (communist bloc backed) "rebels" in Angola. Indebted by over 
$4.5 billion to the International Monetary Fund, Zaire, headed by President Mobutu * 
paradoxically regarded as one of the world's richest men with "a personal fortune put 
at $2,939,200,000 [1984 estimate] banked in Switzerland" * was wooed by NATO allies 
during the 1970s to be a staging area for CIA backed, Portuguese, French, and South 
African, mercenaries. American corporate investment, notably in copper, aluminium, and 
diamonds, doubled following a 1970 visit by Mobutu to the United States. Major 
investors included Rockefeller's Chase-Manhattan Bank. In 1975, however, Mobutu turned 
against NATO allies. He proclaimed his intention to nationalise foreign owned 
enterprises, and expelled the American ambassador. He ordered his military to arrest 
CIA agents, and placed some of them under death sentences.

The following year, in October 1976, the Ebola virus broke-out in fifty-five Zairian 
villages, first killing people who had received injections. Mobutu then ordered his 
army to seal off the Bumba Zone with roadblocks and shoot anyone trying to leave.
By the end of 1976, the Zairian leader had reconciled his differences with American 
intelligence and, thereafter, continued to reap his Western allies' economic and 
"humanitarian" aid.

About the same time, Mobutu signed an agreement with a West German company named OTRAG 
(Orbital Transport-und Raketen-Aktiengesellschaft). The company leased 260,000 square 
kilometres of eastern Zaire for military/industrial purposes. The contract gave OTRAG 
sovereign rights to territories inhabited by 760,000 people in the region not far from 
what is now called, "The AIDS Highway."

Believed to be of military and intelligence gathering significance to NATO, OTRAG's 
principals included several Nazi scientists including Dr. Kurt H. Debus, who worked as 
director of the Cape Canaveral space program until 1975 before transferring to Zaire. 
Richard Gompertz, OTRAG's technical director, presided over NASA's Chrysler space 
division. Lutz Thilo Kayser, OTRAG's founder and manager, when young was quite close 
to the Nazi rocket industry, often called 'Dadieu's young man,' a reference to Armin 
Dadieu, his mentor, who served as prominent SS officer and as Goring's special 
representative for a research program on storing uranium. 

In 1977, at the height of OTRAG's activity in Zaire, Litton Industries, Bionetics's 
parent, received $5 million for medical electronic equipment from its Hellige 
division, in Freiburg, West Germany. Much of Litton's NATO and West German sales 
during this period appear to have been earmarked for OTRAG, which may have been 
subcontracting at the behest of the DOD through Bionetics.

Concurrently, cooperative efforts were recorded by NATO and WHO officials to 
coordinate preparations for facing possible epidemics from biological warfare.
These circumstances deserve further investigation especially considering the recent 
outbreaks of the world's most feared and deadly viruses. Marburg, Ebola, Reston, and 
AIDS share the dubious distinction of breaking out in or around areas of CIA/NATO, 
Bionetics, or OTRAG operations.

The CIA and The Hot Zone


The Hot Zone, the alleged "terrifying true story," that remained on the New York Times 
best-seller list for more than two years, was certainly frightening. Its content, 
however, when measured against government documents and scientific reports, was barely 
true. Few realise its author, Richard Preston, received a $20,000 literary grant from 
the Sloan Foundation to produce this Random House act of counterintelligence.

An investigation into Alfred P. Sloan's background revealed his foundation: (1) 
supported black educational initiatives consistent with the CIA's COINTELPRO Black 
Nationalist Hate Group campaign; (2) administered "public management" research and 
mass-media-public-persuasion experiments completely consistent with the CIA's Project 
MKULTRA; (3) funded much of the earliest cancer research involving the genetic 
engineering of mutant viruses; (4) funded population control studies by Planned 
Parenthood-World Population, New York; (5) funded the Community Blood Council of 
Greater New York, Inc., the "council of doctors" who established the nefarious New 
York City Blood Bank; (6) maintained Laurance S. Rockefeller, the director of the 
Community Blood Council of Greater New York and the president of the Rockefeller 
Brothers Fund, as chairman of the board of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 
and a trustee for the Foundation; (7) gave in excess of $20,000 annually to the 
Council on Foreign Relations; and (8) maintained among its "marketable securities," 
16,505 shares of Chase Manhattan Bank stock (in 1967) along with 24,400-53,000 shares 
issued by Merck & Co., Inc. (at least until 1973).

In addition, Sloan researchers contributed various reagents to the NCI's Dr. Robert 
Gallo during his early retrovirus research, and Sloan is well known for its links to 
the AIDS pharmaceutical industry.

Could it be that the individuals and institutions most likely to have created HIV and 
its relatives are now the ones most capitalising on its effects? Surely the AIDS 
pandemic is big business. In the words of Alfred P. Sloan, "ignorance of the 
principles of capitalism and free enterprise is both a danger and an opportunity." 
Undoubtedly, the millions of HIV/AIDS patients and their families will find it harder 
than the Sloans to appreciate the opportunity.
