Same filmmaker exposed US, UK, Apartheid collaboration and involvement in the spread of HIV in Africa, and the assassination of the SecGen of the UN, Dags Hammerskjold

Minor nitpick, it is "Dag Hammarskjöld"

For Hammarskjold, the various documents that have been released or otherwise leaked suggest he could have been killed by the US, France, the USSR, or mercenaries hired by African mining interests. Or some combination of the above. As far as I can tell there is no definitive proof of who exactly was behind it, only that a lot of powerful people wanted him gone.

Does the filmmaker have access to some sort of exclusive information that the rest of the world doesn't? Or, like most of these sorts of filmmakers, is he drawing conclusions beyond what can be conclusively reached with the availabile evidence?

Watch the documentary. Union miniere, Belgian government, SAIMR paramilitaries, CIA and MI6 all were deeply involved.

I saw the documentary and highly recommend it, but one thing that irks me is that apparently there are no reports or investigations on this other than the movie itself? Seemed odd to me for such a larger-than-life-conspiracy …

Well, you hardly ever hear about the hundreds of thousands of cubans and their MiG:s or the covert support from Sweden when there's talk about the fall of south african apartheid either. It usually stops at reminiscing about some non-violent forms of protest and more lacklustre quotes from Mandela, considered a terrorist by the US until 2008.

It's a sensitive topic in the Occident, many powerful people would prefer their friends never face scrutiny or justice due to involvement with those crimes.

"Though the filmmakers present Mr. Jones as a self-assured whistle-blower, their notes from several interviews they conducted with him before the final taping reflect that he repeatedly denied that his group was involved in an AIDS project."

"As the interviews progressed, the filmmakers posed additional questions that introduced details of possible militia activities. Mr. Jones’s responses evolved and, by the time he sat for the final interview, he professed firsthand knowledge of people and events that he had previously seemed to first learn about from the filmmakers."

Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and say a documentary that claims western powers were intentionally spreading AIDS in South Africa (under the guise of a vaccination program) and does so on the basis of some extremely questionable witnesses might be stretching the evidence about some other things.

Hammerskjold died in a plane crash, so did the lead partner and her husband, also a partner, at the Horten law-firm that was the center of the "black swan" scandal, very recently:

>a documentary that claims western powers were intentionally spreading AIDS in South Africa

It does not. Its a supposed South African plot to poor infect South Africans and neighboring countries.

This seems so fake. They suddenly decide to go on a vacation and want to return on a small inexpensive plane that then crashes with their entire family on it in Switzerland less than 2min from takeoff?

Call it a conspiracy but I won’t at all be surprised when someone discovered they have transferred a large amount of funds to some “family friends” that look suspiciously like them but live in the Cayman Islands.
