A Sundance documentary ostensibly in regards to the 1961 airplane crash which killed then UN Secretary-General, Dag Hammarskjold, accommodates explosive claims of a conspiracy to spread HIV amongst South Africa’s black inhabitants.
Directed by controversial Danish journalist, filmmaker, and provocateur Mads Brügger, ‘Cold Case Hammarskjold,’ debuted Saturday on the Sundance Film Festival.
It particulars an investigation into the largely unsolved loss of life of Swedish diplomat and former UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, whose DC-6 airplane crashed close to Ndola, Northern Rhodesia (fashionable Zambia). Initial investigations recognized the trigger as pilot error or mere mechanical fault, although doubts have continued in the 50+ years since the crash.
Throughout the course of the brand new documentary, Brügger and his crew examine a white militia, the South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR). According to paperwork the filmmakers uncovered, the group operated with help from the CIA and British Intelligence and orchestrated the 1961 airplane crash which killed Hammarskjold. The documentarians ultimately encounter and interview a person named Alexander Jones who’s allegedly a former member of the group.
Jones, who just isn’t associated to Alex Jones of InfoWars, claims the mercenary group used phony vaccinations to spread HIV with a view to wiping out the black inhabitants of South Africa, in addition to carrying out the Hammarskjold assassination.
“We were at war,” Jones says, as cited by The New York Times. “Black people in South Africa were the enemy.”
However, medical consultants have already dismissed Jones’ claims as medically doubtful and unscientific in the acute.
“The probability that they were able to do this is close to zero,” stated Dr. Salim S Abdool Karim, the director of Caprisa, an AIDS analysis middle in South Africa, citing the immense sources that may be required to conduct such a far-fetched try at genocide.
