Lis­ten now: One Seg­ment

This seg­ment sets forth infor­ma­tion indi­cat­ing that the deadly Ebola virus that has emerged in Africa may be a man-made virus that was devel­oped in West­ern bio­log­i­cal war­fare pro­grams. Rely­ing on infor­ma­tion pre­sented in a Ger­man tele­vi­sion doc­u­men­tary and accessed in a mag­a­zine called The New African, the broad­cast notes that the epi­demi­ol­ogy of the dis­ease makes lit­tle sense and that the insti­tu­tions deal­ing with the dis­ease are inti­mately con­nected to West­ern BW insti­tu­tions. An unnamed mil­i­tary offi­cial is quoted as say­ing that a 1976 out­break of the dis­ease was “the first time we’ve had the bug out­side of the lab.” (Recorded in the spring of 1996.)
