 Zimbabweans
and activists praise Minister's remarks
WASHINGTON�During his news conference of July 22, at the National Press
Club, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan painstakingly explained the
plight of Zimbabwe, America and Europe�s depiction of its leader
President Robert Mugabe. It proved to be a much-needed education for the
press corps gathered and even surprised them to know that the general
audience was more aware of the realities Southern Africans face. �The

amicably,� began Min. Farrakhan.

 'White
people want to wipe us out'
Researcher, author insists AIDS is a weapon of
genocide
I
was a germ warfare specialist for this country in the 1960s. When Black
people started dying of this mysterious disease (AIDS) in the early 1980s,
it looked like what we used to do when I was in the military. So I
investigated, and low and behold, I came up with all the signatures of
biological warfare. By 1986, I had gathered enough material to write an
article. It was called �U.S.
Germ Warfare at its Best with Documents and Proof.�
The owner of the Black American newspaper read the article, hugged me and
we cried. He said: �Dr. Felder, (I�m going to) publish this. I don�t care
what happens.�
