Scientists already knew that HIV viruses had crossed into humans early in the 20th century, probably because central African hunters ate infected chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates. This happened not once but many times, putting into circulation in the local human population a host of different HIV viruses, including both the HIV-1 and HIV-2 types.HIV-1 contains the viral groups called M and O. Group M is now responsible for 90 percent of pandemic infections and is the virus people typically mean when talking about HIV. Group O and HIV-2 also cause infections but remain geographically concentrated in central and western Africa. Other strains are rare or have fizzled out altogether.The group M strain, says Pybus, appears to have “put its foot on the accelerator”—though it might be most accurate to say that humankind pressed that accelerator down.

He stated that he left over differences he had with the CIA about how various missions and operations were conducted in Third World countries.What lends credence to Stockwell’s accusations is the fact that he was with the CIA for about 13 years. During that time, he was Chief of Base in the Katanga in 1968, Chief of Station in Bujumbura in 1970, and oversaw intelligence operations in the Tay Ninh province in Vietnam.Before he left, Stockwell was even awarded the CIA Medal of Merit. 2 After his departure, Stockwell wrote three books exposing the loose and sometimes illegal/immoral practices of the CIA in these areas. Then, in 1987, Stockwell was interviewed by Alternative Views about his views on the CIA connection to the AIDS virus. 3
