CHAPTER FOURTEEN
"It is already being done."
"If something we've done to alter the envelope gives it greater capacity for survival."
"I would evaluate each planned alteration carefully."
—Dr. Robert Gallo
Cold Spring Harbor, 1985
All along, the establishment's AIDS "hero" has been Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute.
Described for years by the press as the "co-discoverer of the AIDS virus" and "the nation's leading AIDS
researcher," Gallo has argued ferociously that AIDS cannot be spread by casual contact of any kind. He
has led the way in ridiculing "alarmist" beliefs about the transmission of the disease.
But Dr. Gallo's own credibility has suffered severely in the last few years. Dr. Luc Montagnier of the
Pasteur Institute in Paris has always contended that his early laboratory test results were stolen by some
unknown Americans, and that Dr. Gallo could not, and did not, isolate the AIDS virus in 1982. A
committee of inquiry was called by the National Institutes of Health to investigate several aspects of Dr.
Among the most important questions about Dr. Gallo:
1) When did Dr. Gallo recognize that the researchers working with Dr. Montagnier in Paris had isolated
the AIDS virus?
2) How was it possible that the AIDS virus isolated by Dr. Gallo was a genetic twin of the one isolated by
Dr. Montagnier in Paris?
3) How can Dr. Gallo explain the impossibility of the two viruses, isolated thousands of miles apart, being
the twin of each other, given the fact that AIDS viruses mutate at such a rapid rate? The virus could only
have mutated in one place, in Paris or at the National Cancer Institute in the U.S. But not in both places at
the same time.
4) Given the fact that the Paris laboratory isolated the virus two years before Dr. Gallo announced his "findings," Dr. Gallo must have kept quiet about his "results" for two years. Why would he have done
that?
5) In his original article in Science magazine, Dr. Gallo claimed that the French and American viruses
were different viruses. How can he explain that impossibility?
A strong case exists that Dr. Gallo's "records" of his "discovery" of the AIDS virus were a complete fraud.
He was in such hot water that it looked like he might face the public disgrace of being forced to return the
$303,000 he had received in royalties for his "testing." The controversy over Dr. Gallo's role—or faked
role—in the discovery of the AIDS virus had profound implications for the public—which paid little
attention. Because if Gallo was dishonest with the press, the public and his colleagues about his claim of "co-discovery" of AIDS, then why should he be trusted in his explanations of how difficult it is to
transmit the disease?
Unfortunately, the public will never know the answers to those questions about Dr. Gallo. Once again, the
scientific world closed ranks. Gallo's battle with the Pasteur Institute ended in a sordid compromise
between himself and Dr. Luc Montagnier. Jonas Salk, the discoverer of the Polio vaccine, stepped in and "brokered" a deal that would allow the scientists to keep their secrets to themselves and protect their
professional reputations.
But the whole dirty business was done at the expense of the public. Dr. Abraham Karpas, Assistant
Director of Research, Clinical School of Medicine at Cambridge University captured its essence in a letter
of protest he wrote to Dr. Robert Windon, Assistant for Health, Department of Human Services,
Washington, D.C.: "There is no question in my mind that certain scientists at the National Cancer Institute
are responsible for the lost years in AIDS research. You must realize that this resulted in the logarithmic
increase in the number of cases of AIDS virus infection both through sexual intercourse and the
transfusion of thousands of units of contaminated blood.
"Progress in AIDS research was delayed by a full year while Drs. Gallo and Essex published eight articles
on HTLV, the rare human leukemia virus (also known to be the cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), as
the cause of AIDS. In the process they prevented directly and indirectly the publication of medical and
scientific data that HTLV was not involved in AIDS and that another virus was the cause of this new
disease. As a result, many thousands of individuals became infected with contaminated blood and the
virus kept on spreading at an accelerated pace. "Only after Dr. Gallo received the AIDS virus from France and managed to grow it did he change its
name from LAV to HTLV-II and claim himself as the discoverer. In order to justify calling it HTLV-II,
Gallo with Wong Staal presented scientific 'data' on the similarity of the HTLV-I and the HTLV-II, which
they published in Science and Nature, thereby causing further deadly delay in AIDS research by sending
newcomers to this field into blind alleys. "There is no question in my mind that Dr. Gallo is responsible for the large number of infections
especially through blood transfusions during the lost year.… I find it amazing that this situation is being
tolerated in the U.S.A. Consider that a democratically elected President had to resign because of the
Watrgate episode in which not a single life was lost, while Dr. Gallo was allowed to continue to dominate
AIDS research with untold millions from U.S.A. taxpayers, many of whom have become infected by the
virus due to Gallo's scientific incompetence and ruthlessness."
The news media covered this story perfunctorily. It should have been a major national scandal, but very
few reporters bothered to find out what was going on; it was too complex and unglamorous. There was no
audience for it. Gallo got what amounted to a free pass from the press. The public remained blissfully
ignorant.
Even worse, the U.S. government backed Dr. Gallo all the way. But why? Because of the Machiavellian
nature of AIDS politics. Ample evidence exists that Dr. Gallo's approach to AIDS treatment—his socalled "cell blocker" theory—is another one of those "dead ends" into which Gallo is leading researchers.
The Walter Reed study, mentioned earlier, states flatly that there are no cells which cannot be infected by
the HIV virus. That would make Dr. Gallo's "cell blocker" completely ineffective. But the truth is that the
government—ably represented by Dr. Gallo—is not working to save humanity from AIDS; but rather to
forward the interests of the giant pharmaceutical empires. And their first interest is selling drugs. It's
another matter altogether whether those drugs actually help AIDS patients.

Yadda-yadda
The world gets crazier and crazier everyday, doesn't it? The world that many
of us thought was there, isn't. The bottom has dropped out of everything. The
illusions have been revealed, we have found out who has been pulling the strings
behind the scenes. Millions have lost their jobs, have mortgage
problems, and
foreclosure. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been
taught that we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild
dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government
of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit
me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its
laws." Get
the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system.
It's all about 'commerce'. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for
each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line
as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for
you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study. Is
your credit rating bad for reasons that seem out of your control? There are
ways of credit repair,
so you can men those broken fences too. Do you want to keep your children protected
from outside forces, there are ways of protecting
your children. Do you want
to keep your sons and daughters free from 'the draft'? Check this out.
