controversial issue and there are many who believe such research should not be
undertaken lest it lead to yet another method of massive killing of large populations." Infact it was the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC)that had informed the Defense Department that this research was possible. Now,according to legal testimony given to government officals, this knowledge enraged theFlorida dentist so much it moved him to intentionally inject his patients with HIV-taintedanesthetics. In essence, he did what all organized serial killers love to do,
express avendetta, like the mail-bomber, play games with the authorities, trap them in a catch-22,whereby they'd be damned if they told the truth, and called him a serial killer, because thewhole world would want to know motive, and every reporter would ultimately find out asI did, what drove him crazy and
who he really hated and ultimately attacked. And if theytold a lie, or maintained the case, as they did, a mystery, it would hold America and all of health care hostage to irrational fear of routine health care in the age of AIDS. Now all of this I documented in three published scientific reports and my last book "DeadlyInnocence: The Kimberly Bergalis Case-- Solving the Greatest Murder Mystery in theHistory of American Medicine." I present these publications and documents here for yourcritical examination.
So Dr. Acer created a crime, a mystery, that couldnÕt be solved,without implicating the government and causing a larger mystery to be investigated. Thatis, the origin of AIDS and Ebola--the subject of my last three years of research, and why Ihave come before you today. In fact, I investigated the Department of Defense's germwarfare appropriations request and learned that the option to develop synthetic biologicalagents--bioweapons as alternatives to nuclear weapons--came from Dr. Henry Kissinger,who was gradually placed in his position of authority as National Security Advisor underRichard Nixon, the most powerful man in government, by Nelson Rockefeller and hisaffiliates at the Council
on Foreign Relations. Moreover, I traced where the money went.It went, in fact, to a
firm called Litton Bionetics, a subsidiary of the mega-militarycontractor Litton Industries, whose President, Roy Ash, was being considered as analternate to Henry Kissinger for the National Security Advisor post. Instead, Roy Ashbecame Richard Nixons chairman of the Presidents Advisory Council
on ExecutiveOrganizations, and Assistant to the President of the United States. And Litton Industrieswas given over $5 billion in military contracts during the first term of the Nixonadministration, $10 million of which went towards the development of AIDS-likeviruses. A mere drop in the bucket. But before I tell you exactly what was done with your$10 million of taxpayer money, some background on Kissinger and Rockefeller'sinfluence is in order. Among Henry Kissingers most influential patrons as he worked his
way up the ladder of success to become Nixons Deputy to the President for NationalSecurity, was Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, the son of Standard Oil, that is Exxon, heirJohn D. Rockefeller, Jr.
The Rockefeller familys involvement in the medical-industrialcomplex, health science research, and American politics is clearly important. BeforeWorld War II, major administration of medical research, or financing by federal agencies,had been generally opposed by Americas scientific community. In fact, it was onlyduring times of war that organizations like the NAS or the NRC received major funding.Both the NAS, established during the Civil War, and the NRC, set up during the FirstWorld War, were largely ignored in times of peace. Between 1900 and 1940, privatefoundations and universities financed most medical research. According to Paul Starr,author of The Social Transformation of American Medicine: The rise of a sovereignprofession and the making of a vast industry, the most richly endowed research center,the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was established in New York in 1902 andby 1928 had received from John D. Rockefeller $65 million in endowment funds. Incontrast, as late as 1938, as little as $2.8 million in federal funding was budgeted for theentireU.S. Public Health Service. Therefore, it is easy to see that Rockefeller familyinvestment in health science research predated, and far surpassed, even the federalgovernments. More than the New Deal, the Second World War created the greatest boomin federal government and private industry support for medical research. Prior to the war,American science and medicine was heavily influenced by German models. Thisprecedent was bolstered during the 1930s when the Nazis purged Jewish scientists from
