-----Original Message----- From: Taylor, John (JH) (Solvents) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Conspiracy theories fuel row over Aids crisis in South Africa (Independent, UK) Conspiracy theories fuel row over Aids crisis in South Africa By Karen MacGregor in Durban Independent On-line - 4 September 2000 -------------------------------------- South Africa's health minister, Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, has fuelled the debate on theHIV-Aids crisis in the country by circulating a controversial theory that claims the virus was introduced into Africa by a global conspiracy intent on reducing the continent's population. The theory is expounded by American author William Cooper in a chapter in his book Behold, a Pale Horse. He claims the Illuminati - a conspiracy to control the world - introduced Aids to Africa via the smallpox vaccine in 1978, even though the last recorded case of the disease was in 1977. He also alleges that a known cure is being kept secret until enough people have died. The health minister, Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, circulated copies of the chapter to the health ministers of South Africa's nine provinces at their last meeting. On her instruction, a local newspaper revealed yesterday, her parliamentary officer also distributed copies to provincial premiers. The Western Cape health minister, Nick Koornhof, says that with it he received an anonymous letter, marked top secret and "for African eyes only", warning that the Aids virus could be in any vaccine coming into Africa from the West.
