Notes in the Mitrokhin Archive claim that more than half of the Soviet Union's weapons are based on US designs, that the KGB tapped Henry Kissinger's telephone when he was US Secretary of State, and had spies in place in almost all US defense contractor facilities. The notes

allege that some 35 senior politicians in France worked for the KGB during the Cold War. In West Germany, the KGB was said to have infiltrated the major political parties, the judiciary, and the police. Large-scale sabotage preparations were supposedly made against the US,

Canada, and elsewhere in case of war, including hidden weapons caches; several have been removed or destroyed by police relying on Mitrokhin's information.

Obtaining documents from defense contractors including Boeing, Fairchild, General Dynamics, IBM, and Lockheed Corporation, providing the Soviets with detailed information about the Trident and Peacekeeper ballistic missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles[

Fabrication of the story that the AIDS virus was manufactured by US scientists at the US Army research station at Fort Detrick. The story was spread by Russian-born biologist Jakob Segal. During the Second World War, he and his German wife, Lilli (née Schlesinger, whom he had

met at university in Toulouse) joined the resistance as part of the Main-d'œuvre immigrée and went underground. All of his family, including his parents and brother, were killed in the Holocaust. Segal suggested an HIV therapy of anti-inflammatory aspirin or ultraviolet radiation

of the patient's blood in order to reduce the metabolic activity of macrophages, which are host cells for HIV. He also supported the idea of a p24- vaccine without gp120 which was patented by Jonas Salk as "Remune". Remune is the first therapeutic HIV vaccine based on the killed

whole virus approach. Remune was initially invented by Jonas Salk in 1987 and is now being developed by Immune Response BioPharma, Inc. (IRBP)

U.S. State Department analysts also claim that another reason the Soviet Union "promoted the AIDS disinformation may have been its attempt to distract international attention away from its own offensive biological warfare program, which [was monitored] for decades." The report

posits that the operation may have been partly in retaliation for American accusations that the Soviets used chemical weapons in Southeast Asia, later dubbed the yellow rain incident.

The CIA Directorate of Science and Technology is continuously modernizing its inventory of

pathogenic preparations, bacteria and viruses and studying their effect on man in various parts of the world. To this end, the CIA uses American medical centers in foreign countries. A case in point was the Pakistani Medical Research Center in Lahore set up in 1962 allegedly for

combating malaria. In 2005, a study by the RAND Corporation and Oregon State University revealed that nearly 50% of African Americans thought AIDS was man-made, over 25% believed AIDS was a product of a government laboratory, 12% believed it was created and spread by the CIA,

and 15% believed that AIDS was a form of genocide against black people. Hollinger Inc. was a Canadian media company based in Toronto which was established by businessman Conrad Black. His father was businessman George Montegu Black II, who had significant holdings in Canadian

manufacturing, retail and media businesses through part-ownership of the holding company Ravelston Corporation. In 1978, two years after their father's death, Black was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the son of Alice Lucy (Ferris) and George Anderson Black.[1] His father was an

employee of the Hudson's Bay Company and immigrant from New England. In 2006 an American businessman, Jerry Zucker, bought HBC for $1.1 billion US dollars, so it is no longer a Canadian-owned company. Zucker was president and CEO of the InterTech Group.[1] He was President and

CEO of the Polymer Group at the time it acquired the Montreal-based Dominion Textile Company in 1997; he resigned from Polymer Group in 2003. In 2006, he acquired the Hudson's Bay Company of Canada, North America's oldest company (established by English royal charter in 1670),

becoming its Governor (Company Chairman) and CEO. She was married to Jerry Zucker, until his death, and they had three children, Jonathan Zucker, Andrea Muzin and Jeffrey Zucker. Jonathan is the president of the InterTech Group.Jeffrey is an entrepreneur in the cannabis industry.

As such, he encouraged the Crimson's decades-old prank rivalry with the Harvard Lampoon, then headed by future NBC employee Conan O'Brien, which culminated in Zucker having O’Brien arrested.

Conaco, LLC is the television production firm owned by entertainer Conan O'Brien. It has produced programs primarily for NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia, including O'Brien's Late Night, Tonight Show and Conan. David Kissinger, former NBCU executive and the son of Henry Kissinger,

has been president since 2005. The name Conoco can refer to either a major American brand of oil and gas filling stations that is currently owned by Phillips 66 Co. or to "Conoco Inc.", a defunct oil and gas company that had operated from 1875 until 2002, when it merged with the

Phillips Petroleum Company 66 to form ConocoPhillips. Conoco Inc. was an American petroleum company founded by Isaac Elder Blake in 1875 as the "Continental Oil and Transportation Company". The "Continental Oil and Transportation Company" was founded by Isaac Elder Blake in 1875.

Based in Ogden, Utah, the company distributed oil, kerosene, benzene, and other products in the western United States. Continental Oil Company was acquired by Standard Oil Company in 1884 and was spun off from Standard Oil during the Standard Oil divestiture in 1911.

In 1981, cash rich and wanting to diversify, Seagram Company Ltd. engineered a takeover of Conoco. Although Seagram acquired a 32.2% stake in Conoco, DuPont was brought in as a white knight by the oil company and entered the bidding war.

The most important difference being, of course, that this version—sourced from a local Miami supermarket and on sale from Perrotin, the Parisian gallery with locations in New York and across Asia—cost a cool $120,000.
