Biowar and the Apartheid Legacy

By Salim Muwakkil

Just as the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction now seems a neocon-concocted mirage, word has begun leaking out about the spread of bioweapons far more threatening than anything in Saddam Hussein’s purported arsenal.

    I’m sorry, malik.  You have confused “hard evidence” with “conspiracy theory for sale”.

    If this really was evidence, should it be promulgated freely, rather than offered for sale?

    To anyone reading this :

    AIDS was absolutely created by
    American scientists. there is no
    longer any debate about this in the
    medical community.The documents are in the Library of Congress for
    godsakes , its public record.

    Check out Aids and Ebola emerging viruses by Horowitz you can find it on Amozon.
